"What?" Wilbur could hardly believe his ears. Who would dare to rob something so openly in this day and age?
"Who robbed it, and why?" Wilbur asked.
Wallace replied impatiently, "What point is there in telling you? I need to get home right now. My old man's been hurt."
Wilbur thought to himself for a while. Anyone capable of opening a mine was definitely rich to some extent. How could they just get beaten up like that? There was definitely something else happening here.
He said at once, "Let me go back with you. I might just be able to help."
"What could you possibly help with? Get off my ass, please." Wallace turned to leave again.
Yet Wilbur stopped him once again. "I'll be honest, I'm in dire need of Goldmoon right now. Plus, your dad's been hurt, and your family just got robbed. I'm pretty sure whoever did this was pretty powerful."
Wallace stared at Wilbur in a daze, and Wilbur knew he had guessed correctly. "I'll go with you! I'm a really good fighter. I can take on like ten people at once! Come on, I might just be able to help you."
With no other choice, Wilbur could only boast a little.
Wallace blinked. Wilbur gritted his teeth and paid the shop owner for the Goldmoon before crushing it to pieces.
The sight made Wallace's jaw practically hit the ground. He had honestly never seen anything quite like it.
"Okay, let's go. I'll tell you on the way." Wallace seemed to change his mind immediately.
Wilbur cast one last wistful glance at the Goldmoon pieces on the floor. The only thing making this worth it was the possibility of over fifty tons of Goldmoon waiting for him.
The three of them left Octocharm Town in Wallace's stretch limousine and sped off toward Taya City.
Wallace had two bodyguards who doubled as chauffeurs who took turns to take the wheel. Meanwhile, Wilbur and the rest sat in the back.
