Maniac stood up and replied slowly, "It's true, Mister Taft."
"Why?" asked Chance coldly.
Maniac stepped toward Chance and bowed. He said, "It wasn't consensual, Mister Taft. Someone forced me to do so."
The people who did not know the truth were instantly shocked. 'Is that so?'
Wilbur sighed slightly.
"It's him." Maniac pointed at Wilbur and declared loudly, "A few days ago, this guy named Wilbur Penn found me. He almost killed me because he's an Ambience level cultivator. He threatened me to attack Joel. I had no choice but to comply. Thankfully, you're back, Mister Taft. Please seek justice for me, and I'm willing to be your adopted son too."
Then, he knelt on the floor without showing any signs of getting up.
Everyone was stunned. No one expected Maniac to do that.
'Could it be true?' They thought.
Everyone looked toward Wilbur at that moment.
The young man looked ordinary. Was he really an Ambience level cultivator?'
Chance looked at Wilbur and asked slowly, "Are you Wilbur Penn?"
"Yes," replied Wilbur nonchalantly.
Chance frowned and asked, "Is Manny Ack telling the truth?"
"You could say so," Wilbur remained seated as he admitted it.
Chance scoffed coldly and said, "How dare you threaten other people with your level of cultivation in Anya City? That's very bold of you."
"Joel William deserves it. His punishment is far from enough," said Wilbur nonchalantly.
