Living With My Lady Boss - Season 8 Episode 58

Wilbur’s gaze fell on the scroll. “A gift?”

“Yes. This scroll contains the Howl of the Banshee, and its user will be immune to its attack. It’s pretty rare,” smiled Zenith.

Even Wilbur was a little stunned.

The Howl of the Banshee was already a high-level skill, and terrifyingly powerful.

Even someone of the Sanctuary level, if caught off-guard, might have their soul crushed from its attack.

On top of that, the spell scroll was capable of releasing its power in the blink of an eye. That definitely made it good for surprise attacks.

Something like this was indeed extremely precious.

Next to Wilbur, Yumi was completely shocked as well.

The scroll was a weapon powerful enough to kill someone of the Sanctuary level. Why did the emperor gift it to Wilbur?

Wilbur reached out for the spell scroll, taking it from Zenith.

A powerful wave of spiritual energy came out of the spell scroll, silently entering Wilbur’s body.

Zenith smiled. “Goodbye, young man.”

He turned to leave after that, hunched over as he walked as if he was no different from any other old man.

Wilbur, however, understood that it was precisely people who were able to hide their true powers were the ones to be feared the most.

A while later, Yumi walked up to Wilbur carefully. “Do you know why he did this, Master?”

Wilbur tossed the scroll into his demiplane. “He’s trying to tell us who’s boss.”

“Huh?” Yumi was a little confused.

Wilbur said, “He was fully capable of giving something so powerful away as a gift. That means he has even more terrifying stuff up his sleeves. This is just his way of showing me who’s in charge here.”

“And why would he need to do that?” Yumi asked, stunned by the revelation.

“I don’t know, but it looks like he doesn’t mean any harm,” said Wilbur.

Yumi heaved a sigh of relief. No ill intent was the best they could wish for.

“Well, you can’t live here anymore, Master. Shall I take you to a hotel?” asked Yumi.

Wilbur nodded, and Yumi led the way out of the now-ruined yard.

Very soon, both of them arrived at the Royal Gintown Hotel, checking into an executive suite.

Wilbur stood before the enormous full-length windows overlooking the city and furrowed his brows. It was unclear what he was thinking about.

Yumi did not dare disturb him and merely waited behind him.

It was already evening then.

Over on the busiest street in the Gintown business district, Seth stood with his three friends, all of them wearing forlorn expressions.

“Let’s get it over with, bro,” the man wearing a sunhat held his phone with shaking hands as he mumbled.

Seth let out an agonized sigh. He stripped completely naked before beginning to run around the Gintown city statue.

The sight drew countless stares as well as cries of shock.

Seth, however, could not afford to care about his dignity. He might not make it out of Kyo City if he did not complete his side of the bet.

That man was truly terrifying.

In order to prove that he had finished his bet, Seth had even asked the man in sunhat to follow him around, filming him as he ran, so that he could publish the video on the internet.

It was done in case that godly man demanded proof.

Seth was probably the first person on earth to willingly record and post himself doing something like that.

Wilbur, however, was completely unaware of any of that. He had already entered his room and began to meditate.

Yumi stood outside, her expression shifting as if she was battling her inner thoughts.

A long time later, she headed to the bathroom. Yumi ran herself a bath, filling the

tub with fragrant oils before stepping in.

Over an hour passed, and she washed herself thoroughly.

Yumi wrapped a towel around herself, coming up to Wilbur’s room.

She rapped on the door softly, her chest thudding heavily with every knock.

After a long pause, there was no answer.

Yumi’s face fell, nearly tearing up.

She gritted her teeth and tried pushing the door open.
