Eileen stopped in her tracks, turning to look at Wilbur.
Wilbur tossed the two Spiritmend Pills at her. "Give one each to Chester and Zeke. Make sure they take it."
Eileen caught the pills, taking a closer look at them before saying, "Dude, what else are you hiding?"
Before Wilbur could say anything, she turned to leave.
Wilbur turned back to the man with a smile.
The man was still clearly anxious, and it was unclear whether he was stalling or unsure what to say.
Wilbur smiled. "Don't rush. Take your time and tell me everything."
"Alright." The man took a deep breath, then continued, "My name is Jean Zander. My father's very ill, and I'd like you to help save him."
Wilbur frowned. "How did you even find me in the first place? And what makes you think I can save him?"
"There's a rumor that Trevor Penn from Seechertown can do anything and likes collecting antiques. So, I thought I'd try my luck. It took me a lot of connections and money to find out you were on Sealake Island," said Jean.
Wilbur nodded. It was true that he had asked for people on Sealake Island to help him locate antiques or anything that contained power.
It looked like word about this had gotten out.
Well, that was not the worst thing to happen. This crown, for example, had come just in a time of need.
However, Jean's case seemed like it was pretty intense as well. Wilbur doubted that he would have even listened to a rumor about Trevor Penn otherwise.
From the looks of how reluctant Jean was when handing the crown over, it was clear he did not trust Wilbur all that much.
That was fine, though. Wilbur was pretty certain that if he was given the time, there was not much he could not do.
Wilbur smiled at Jean. "Can you tell me about your father?"
