"Wilbur, there's something I want to remind you of."
"What?" Wilbur was taken aback, unsure of what to say, feeling like he'd been hit hard.
Augheimer patted Wilbur on the shoulder and said, "Don't forget, this is a city of slaughter. In Buck Town, fighting is unavoidable. You saved Felix by chance when he was seriously injured and needed to rely on you. But now, he has gained the identity and status he desired. Felix can now roam freely in Buck Town with his new status. No one will dare touch him. So, the Buck Town in his eyes is very different from the one in ours."
Augheimer took a deep breath, then continued, "Wilbur, accept reality. When I first arrived in Buck Town, I thought I was strong too. But after experiencing many things here, I realized that in this place, I am just an ordinary cultivator."
Hearing this, Wilbur felt a pang of sadness and his face flushed. He had spent fifteen hundred years with Felix in the mirror dimension and believed that Felix would never leave him. But now, it all felt like a dream.
"Alright, here is your payment."
Wilbur took out a money pouch from his dimension ring and tossed it to Augheimer.
Augheimer caught the pouch and asked, "What's this?"
"Don't you want to leave this town? There are one hundred gold coins in there, enough for you to leave and go to Walker Town."
Augheimer did not refuse Wilbur's generosity and accepted the gold coins without a fuss. They chatted briefly about past aspirations, and Augheimer could not help but laugh, admitting how naive he once was to think he could still be a strong person in the middle dimensions.
