Wilbur smiled and said, "Alright. | should head back anyway. Walter will handle this." "Yeah." Then, they discussed matters with Walter for a while. Walter went to do his job. Meanwhile, Wilbur and Ethan bought sofferings as a prayer to Ethan's parents before driving back to Seechertown.

The next morning, they arrived in Seechertown. They were at the entrance of Westhand College.

Ethan was sitting in the car, and he looked depressed. He asked, "What should | tell my sister? She wouldn't be able to take the bad news." Wilbur also kept sighing. 'No one can accept the news of their parents’ sudden death, especially the parents who were murdered.’ Wilbur considered the fact that Shelby was only in her junior year, so he frowned and said, "I think you should hide it from her. Wait until she graduates from college before breaking the news to her." "I'm afraid | can't hide it for that long, right?" asked Ethan sadly.

Wilbur said, "Keep it a secret for as long as you can. We'll deal with it after we can't hide it anymore." Ethan let out a long sigh and said, "This is the only way for now." Ethan started to call his sister. Then, they waited at the entrance in silence.

Soon, Skyler appeared and got into the car without hesitation.novelbin

Wilbur introduced him to Ethan, "Letintroduce you, Skyler White, a thief." "Boss, I'm a powerful Ambience level cultivator. Why do you have to humiliatelike that?" asked Skyler in a displeased tone.

Wilbur laughed and asked, "Aren't you known as the King of Thieves?" "I'm the King of Thieves. Not a mere petty thief," argued Skyler.

"It's the sthing." Ethan looked shocked because he could not believe that the youthful-looking Skyler was an Ambience level cultivator. These experts were gathered around him like scollection or something.

Ethan told Skyler, "Thanks for the hard work these days, Mister White." "It's a piece of cake. | have to try my best to follow his instructions. Besides, you're his buddy too, which means we're brothers. No need for formalities." Skyler took out cigarettes and passed them to Wilbur and Ethan. The three of them smoked their cigarettes. Skyler and Ethan instantly got along.

Soon, they saw Shelby walk out of the gates, and she was looking around.

Ethan hurriedly got out of the car to welcher.

"Ethan!" Shelby smiled joyfully and jumped towards Ethan.

He hugged her and gently spun her around before putting her down. He asked, "How old are you? Stop doing that from now on." "So what? You're my brother. You're so conservative," joked Shelby.

Ethan laughed and said, "Letintroduce you to two of my friends." "Alright." He brought her to the car, so Wilbur and Skyler got out of the car.

"This is my sworn brother, Wilbur Penn. He took care ofwhen | was working overseas." "Hello, Mister Penn." "Hello." "This is Skyler White, another comrade of mine. He's also very nice to me." "Hello, Mister White." "Hello." They exchanged formalities. Wilbur smiled and said, "Ethan, you should catch up with Shelby. We'll be leaving. Callwhen you're done, and I'll pick you up." "Don't leave. It's almost noon. We should have lunch together. | haven't had a chance to thank you yet, Skyler," said Ethan.

Ethan knew about how Skyler protected Shelby by chopping off the killer's hand.

There was no need to say anything else because of his strong bond with Wilbur, but he had to thank Skyler. He wanted to express his gratitude, even if it was through a simple meal.

Skyler shrugged like he did not mind.

Wilbur did not want to disturb the siblings, but Shelby agreed strongly by saying, "That's a great idea. | have no classes today. Can | invite my roommates too?"
