Chapter 595
Chapter 595 Wilbur was stumped. He asked, "Who's Braxton Yaegar?" "The person in charge of Eagle City.
He's one of my father's subordinates back then," Gordon said with a smile.
Wilbur came to a realization, but he smiled wryly and said, "Mister Grayson, Eagle City is a governed city under the jurisdiction of the nation.
The person in charge is the Vice Governor, right? I'm afraid it wouldn't be appropriate for me to convey such a message, would it?" Benjamin spoke loudly, "Why would it be inappropriate? Cedric Wayne, the person in charge of Yowl Province, was only my father's soldier back then.
Braxton Yaegar was my horse-boy back then. Does he dare to argue with me?" - "You're impressive, really impressive.
I'll remember that. I'll make sure to convey your message if I ever meet him." Wilbur stuck out his tongue wryly. Benjamin was indeed a founding father of the nation, with such high- ranking officials under his command.
It was clear how powerful his influence was in Dasha.
Gordon poured a glass of wine for Wilbur. He smiled and said, "Mister Penn, there's actually something else I'd like to discuss with you." "Go ahead and tell me." Wilbur started to dig in.
Gordon said, "I would like you to become the instructor of the Hidden
PEE se Dragon Special Forces Team. What do you think?" Wilbur spat out his food. Luckily, he turned his head just in time, so it did not get on the table.
"Buddy, don't assign any jobs for me, alright? I'm very busy as it is," said Wilbur in a helpless tone.
Gordon said, "Sir, this is a matter of national importance, a job to nurture talent and safeguard the nation." "Think it over, Wilbur. Give it your best if you can do it," added Benjamin.
Wilbur realized that he probably could not refuse when he heard that. It was challenging to turn it down when the matter was framed with the mantle of national duty.
He had no choice but to say, "I'll think
about it. Give me some time, alright? I've been too busy recently." "Alright. Do think it through. I have faith in you." Benjamin laughed and raised his glass.
Wilbur raised his glass helplessly, and they all downed their drinks.
Roughly an hour later, Wilbur had his fill of food and drinks. He said goodbye to Benjamin and Gordon and then returned to Sealake Island.
He felt like he had been tricked by Benjamin and Gordon when he sat in his room. He had agreed to train a special forces team foolishly.
Training a special forces team was no easy task. Many of them might be really tough nuts to crack.
However, he had to agree for Mister
Grayson's sake. He decided to leave the matter alone, Wilbur shook his head and went back to his room before entering the demiplane.
He would be meeting Faye's grandfather tomorrow, so he had to prepare some gifts.
He came before the Dragon's Altar and sacrificed the bronze bell, but he only received thirty grace points. It was a pathetic amount.
There were so few grace points that it did not trigger a recommendation on the screen. There was only a list of options for exchange.
He looked at the screen for a while and found a type of pill called the Elixir of Life.
"The Elixir of Life can enhance the vitality of ordinary individuals and extend their lifespan. Thirty grace points are required." The pill was made for ordinary people, so it did not require many grace points.
However, the pill looked awful with its jet-black color. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
"What the hell?" Wilbur felt frustrated at its awful appearance, but there were simply too few options with the amount of grace points. He exchanged the Elixir of Life as a gift for their first meeting.
Wilbur exited the demiplane and went to sleep after all that.
The next morning, he got up early and went to a jewelry store to buy an a
exquisite box. He placed the Elixir of Life inside. The pill looked so awful that he had to use nicer packaging to enhance its appeal.
It was around eleven o'clock by the time he finished the preparations. Faye had been waiting for him when he returned.
They went to the airport in a hurry and boarded the flight to Eagle City.
