Living With My Lady Boss by Blue Silver novel Chapter 2064

As the car sped off, Bernard asked, "So, did you find out how Locke managed to seal the Shadow King's energy inside him?"

"I did, actually. Locke is a cultivator too, and he's a member of the Church of Bloodism. He cast his evil sorcery just now and tried to kill me in his room."

"That bastard! I knew he wouldn't have just let go of resentment like that."

Perry glanced at Wilbur from the rearview mirror. "Do you believe in karma, Wilbur? Everything that happened to Locke was his karma for cultivating evil sorcery for his own selfish gain. Now that his son's dead, all his hard work and suffering was in vain. That's his punishment from god."

Wilbur said, "I'm not in the mood to joke around with you guys. I just want to know if there's any other way to stop the Shadow King from coming here if I can't change Locke's mind. Could we find the Shadow King's clones and kill them first? Would that work?"

"No, it won't. The world of the Shadow Men is a special one, and they can remain undetectable as long as they hide in the darkness. We won't be able to find those clones. The only way to stop the tragedy is if we team up and kill the Shadow King together."

Wilbur frowned. "I thought you said that was impossible? Why did you tell me to try talking Locke out of his hatred, then?"

"That would have never worked. Locke is not a good person."

Bernard said, "You were really emotional then, you know? Do you seriously think you would've just let it go if we hadn't let you come?"

"I…"

Wilbur felt a little helpless. Indeed, he had thought half an hour ago that he would actually be able to persuade Locke and talk him out of sacrificing himself. It was clear now that Locke was not the kind of person to just change his mind, and he would rather sacrifice himself to the Blood God and the Shadow King than let go of his hatred.
