2025-01-21 16:38:43Commander Clayton.”
Sylvester’s pupils shrunk when he heard the name. It was unlikely that Clayton would find out about him so fast which means he had to go deeper in hiding.
With a flick of his wrist, Sylvester removed his weapon from the man’s neck, and grabbed the man by the collar.
Remembering an ancient brainwashing technique, he sliced open his finger, and pressed the first drop on the man’s forehead.
The red-roped man twitched violently but Sylvester’s grip was tighter, and after a while, the man regained the light in his eyes.
“Listen. You will go to your boss and tell him that Sylvester killed all your men, but you activated your trump card just in time, and burnt him to ashes.” Sylvester uttered.
The red-roped man nodded and bowed. Somewhere in his body, his true self knew the truth but there was something blocking him from speaking.
There was also the strange sense of death if he decided to go through that blockage.
“Good. You may leave, and take the body of your men with you.” With that out of the way, Sylvester walked back into the home, and he started thinking.
The cultivation world was really scary. Despite the fact of trying not to attract any attention, someone had still found him out.
Right before he could go deeper, the doorbell rang, and he went to answer it.
“Good day Master. It is I, your beloved disciple.” The person behind the door was a young man, and in his hand was a small box.
Judging from the aura leaking from the box, it had to be something different.
“Gerald. Who told you I was here?” Sylvester raised his brow, this was what he had always wanted to avoid but with this talkative of his student coming here, it was rather inevitable.
“Master! It really is you.” Geral didn’t wait for an invitation before stepping into the house.
“I can’t even sense your level, Master General. It must be because of my very low level. I lack the ability to even comprehend your strength.” Gerald continued, ignoring the fact that Sylvester looked rather pissed.
“You didn’t answer my question or you want me to find out for myself?” Sylvester pinched the skin between his brows.
Gerald smiled, awkwardly dropping the box, “Hozert alerted the secret group chat.” He blurted out, causing Sylvester to roll his eyes.
He should have known that Hozert wouldn’t let the matter die down.
“Thank you for your gift, Gerald. I’d take time to truly enjoy it.” Sylvester smiled, “I remember you own a Housing company right?” He asked, his mind thinking about how he would inform Emily of the new change.
“It’s only because of your wise words and help, Master. I wouldn’t have broken through the Grand Warrior stage, and now I can fight and do a lot of things to support myself.” Gerald was ever ready to fulfill Sylvester’s wish.
“Do you need anything? Master Wright? As long as it involves a home, I can get you anything you want.” Gerald said quickly, bringing out his phone. There was no one who would miss a chance to fulfill the wishes of the Great Grandmaster of the Continental War 1.
“I need a secluded place, to hide me from some sight until I am ready to present myself to the world, and also…”
Before Sylvester could finish his words, Gerald shoved his phone into his face.
“I have the right place; a small cottage where you can get everything you need, from foodstuffs to transportation.” Gerald was all talks but as soon Sylvester raised his hand, he kept quiet.
Sylvester took the phone, and slowly scrolled and in the next minute, he found what he wanted.
Just as he was about to hand over the phone to Gerald, the doorbell rang.
“It’s my wife.” Sylvester gasped, and he looked back but it seemed like the red-roped man had truly carried all his partners, he never expected her to come in so early so he was quite surprised.
“You do not know me!” Sylvester turned to Gerald with a stern look, and the only way he could get the man to listen was to release a bit of his aura.
The door knob twisted, and Emily made her way into the house, she was about to say something when she realized that Sylvester wasn’t alone.
“What’s going on?” Her voice came out in a breathy whisper as she looked from her husband to the stranger in her house.
Sylvester instantly took the initiative, knowing that if Emily got a whiff of what was going on, he would never be able to truly protect her.
“Welcome home, dear. This man said, he was interested in your company and would like to offer a partnership to it and it comes with a house and a good car.” Sylvester smiled, looking pointedly at Gerald who simply nodded. He could never defy his boss.
“Oh wow.” Emily was surprised. Ever since Sylvester got his legs back, there had been various kinds of good news and there were unexpected.
“I don’t know how to say this but I’d like us to discuss this further and I’d like to know if you are interested in what I am offering you.” Gerald took the hint, and handed his business care to Emily.
Sylvester nodded, acknowledging the smartness of his student. Everything was going as planned. He would do his best to convince Emily, while he would also be able to achieve his own goals.
Emily escorted Gerald out and she came back with a letter in her hands.
“I saw this in the mailbox. Grandmother is inviting us for a party? And on behalf of Cullen? Did Cullen win the bet?”
Sylvester frowned when he heard the question. There was no way that loser would win the bet, unless he is on to something devious.

The lighting in the expansive study seemed to grow dimmer as Sylvester Wright wheeled himself in. As his sharp eyes took in the environment, he caught sight of his wife, Emily, hunched on a couch, her eyes empty and distant. She stared into space, a small crease on her forehead.For the past few days, she seemed to zone out more, becoming a shadow of herself. The smoke from the teacup in her hands grew faint.He let out a sigh, wheeling himself in her direction. She wasn’t aware of his presence; or so he thought. “Disappearing again?” Her sharp words cut into the silence faster than he could take his next breath. She turned to him, a feigned smile on her face. “For what? Six days? A week? Forever this time?”Clearing his throat for a moment, Sylvester thought of what to tell her. He could tell that she was getting to her breaking point. Could he blame her though? She had been patient enough. “I’ll be back soon, Emily,” he assured, his voice calm. “And I’ll explain everything to you.

“What? You want a divorce?” Sylvester stared wordlessly at Emily. The desperation and frustration on her face weighed down heavily on him. The pain in his legs could not compare to that in his heart as he watched her breakdown. “You shouldn’t say things like that, Emily.” He sighed. Wasn’t a divorce simply going too far? He was almost close to his goal.This was the most he could do in his state. “Knowing too much right now is not good. I promise to explain everything to you when I’m done. Trust me.” He moved his wheelchair closer to her.“Don’t come closer, Sylvester.” Emily felt a rollercoaster of emotions wash over her. He sounded genuine, like he really cared. Yet, his secretive ways told her another story. A million theories flew around her mind as to his reason, but there was no good conclusion.“I want to know, Sylvester!” She cried out, her hands grabbing a fistful of her hair. “Are you in trouble? After all, ever since we’ve gotten married, I’ve been ridiculed. What more are

Realizing his failure, he braced himself, crashing on the ground and falling just at her feet. "Just give up already," Emily laughed, her eyes glinting with mockery.

Her voice rang with apathy as she chastised him like a bad child and he raised his head slowly to find a mocking smile on her face.Sylvester lowered his head, a smile on his face.

Her wrinkled face drew further into an ugly scowl as she rose from her throne-like seat.She pointed her trembling slender fingers in Emily's face."How dare you object to my command? You've become such an insolent and spoiled lady! You are truly not deserving of the family business," the matriarch spat in annoyance and disgust.Emily's tears fell in large pellets. "Grandmother, I worked hard for this. It was very little when it was handed over to me. You can't take it away," she passionately pleaded. "Please.

Sylvester clenched his fist, his wife’s family was more devious than he expected. Emily didn’t deserve all this.“I will not let any of you ridicule my wife. The company belongs to her alone.” Sebastian stepped forward, his voice booming with authority. Cullen regained his composure and sneered, “Who do you think you are to meddle in our family’s business, cripple?” His words made the rest of the family calm down. He was right, Sebastian was only a cripple.Emily felt a heat in her heart, “My husband is not a cripple. As you can well see, he walks.” She said, walking to stand by Sebastian’s side. She didn’t know what she was doing but she couldn’t bring herself to ignore Cullen especially when he was speaking against Sebastian.“Just because his limbs are functioning doesn’t mean his brain is.

If he underwent a breakthrough by any chance in his very tired state, he could end up damaging one of his body systems and crippling himself. This was why he had to bid his time.A night full of cultivation was enough for him. Sylvester climbed into the bed and shut his eyes. “Sylvester, please are you awake?” Emily called as she pushed open the door to her husband’s room.She met him on the bed, sound asleep and he didn’t even realize that someone had walked in.Emily held her head and sighed, “I can’t believe he is still like this.
