The delivery personnel received his order and instantly agreed.
"Tell Shawn Weiss to compensate the Lesters with two hundred million dollars. It's considered a light punishment," said Wilbur coldly.
The delivery personnel quickly agreed to that too, so Wilbur waved to let him go.
They went back to the villa, and Wilbur said he was going to leave. Chad and Wallace were reluctant to let him go. They had to make Wilbur stay.
Wilbur could not help it, so he decided to stay the night. The next morning, he saw Wallace kneeling in front of his door when he woke up and tried to get through the door.
"What are you doing?" Wilbur hurriedly helped him up.
Chad stepped forward and said, "Sir, please accept Wallace as your godson. He's mischievous, but he has a kind heart. Please allow him to serve you and repay you for saving our lives."
Wilbur knew what he meant. The Lesters would have someone to rely on if he accepted Wallace. They would not need to fear anyone anymore.
But why should he be someone's godfather? He was still a young man. Surely it would make him a laughingstock if news of this got out, right?
Wilbur chuckled and said, "I understand what you mean. I made a promise with Wallace back in Seechertown to help your family. He promised to give me the ore and I'll be like his big brother. I think we should fulfill that engagement instead."
"Really?" Chad was instantly overjoyed. It was much better than Wilbur being Wallace's godfather. It would bring them even greater glory.
"Pay your respects for your sworn brother," Chad barked at Wallace.
Wallace instantly knelt respectfully. Wilbur hurriedly stopped him and said, "That's not necessary. Please get up."
Wilbur helped Wallace up and then expressed his wish to leave. Chad and Wallace did not want him to leave, but they did not dare to stop him again.
Chad instructed Wallace to drive Wilbur back to Seechertown, but Wilbur refused.
It would take more than ten hours to drive, and only several hours if he took the train. He had no time to waste.
