The entire room was dead silent.
Wilbur slowly turned to look at Manfred, who was in shock. "Just show me everything you've got, I'll deal with it as it comes."
Yet the truth was that the great elder of the Ray family had just referred to Wilbur as 'Senior', and the Special Forces had retreated with just an order from Wilbur. Zane had even been asked to write a report on this.
Wilbur was impossibly mysterious and unpredictable in terms of his power and identity, and Ray could hardly compare.
It was only then that he finally began to realize just how terrifying this young man was.
There had to be a reason Manfred's own father addressed this man 'Senior'.
Manfred was the head of the Ray clan and knew it would be useless to struggle after such a thorough defeat as he bowed deeply to Wilbur. "The Ray clan officially surrenders. Please let us know what demands you may have, Senior."
"Demands?" Wilbur asked calmly. "What if I wanted the death of the entire Ray clan?"
Manfred's face paled, as well as the rest of the clan members.
Just then, Chester hurried to walk up and bow. "Senior, please forgive these insolent youngsters of my clan. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make it up to you, even swear my loyalty to you as your disciple for the rest of my life."
The elders and other fighters present reeled in shock at the words.
To be one's disciple was to pledge your life and name to them, and any form of betrayal would result in being ostracized from all of society and even death.
Wilbur frowned at Chester.
Chester hurried to say, "Senior, I'm not just doing this for my clan. I would like to be by your side and learn how to be a better cultivator, all while doing all I can for you."
