Wilbur shook his head. “Not really.”

“Why have you been getting close to my father?” Gordon asked.

Right at that moment, a voice rang throughout the banquet hall.

“General Gordon Grayson of the Kardon Province army has arrived.”

Those words brought about an explosion of applause that lasted for quite a while.

Someone of that level of power was present at Blake and Yvonne’s wedding. It made all the guests stare at both Gordon and Wilbur at once.

Gordon frowned in disgust.

Wilbur said calmly, “Not everyone is out to use your family name. You’re of no use to me.”

Gordon’s expression darkened. “Well, what are you trying to obtain by getting close to my Dad on purpose and trying to trick him with your cultivation crap? What are you getting at? I’ve taken care of many people like you.”

Wilbur took a sip of champagne and replied, “Is that so? Would you believe me if I said that I was just helping him live a few more years on account of what he has done for the country?”

“Of course not,” Gordon said coldly.

Wilbur shook his head. “Well then, I’ve got nothing to say.”

“You’re going to pay for your actions,” Gordon said.

Wilbur shifted in his seat. “I wasn’t breaking the law.”

“This is a family affair, so I’ll handle it personally. Don’t worry. I won’t abuse my power,” Gordon assured him.
