NovelEnglishA terrifying and deadly feeling overwhelmed Michelle. She felt his threat along with a sense of impending doom.
She finally lost her composure and yelled, "Sir, please stop!" However, Wilbur seemed unfazed. More crumbling infrastructure vaguely formed a coffin, and it was going to bury Michelle. The unseen spiritual pressure made her scream in pain. There was finally a look of terror on her face.
She was about to be buried in the Earthen Coffin. Suddenly, an elderly voice could be heard asking, "Sir, can you spare her life for the sake of my old age?" Wilbur turned his head and saw an elderly man. The elderly man was standing in the living room, he had a black suit and a top hat. There was a butler behind him, holding a rectangular box in his hands.

The unseen pressure faded, and Michelle could finally catch her breath. She seemed a mess.
Wilbur stood and looked downstairs. The elderly man said politely, "Mister Penn, it's inconvenient for me. May you please cdown so we can talk?" Wilbur was silent for a moment. He walked downstairs slowly, and the flserpent nudged against him. Wilbur sent it back to the demiplane, then stood in front of the elderly man.
The elderly man removed his hat to show his gratitude. Then, he said, "I'm Sterling Jenkins. The kid didn't know any better. I apologize on her behalf for offending you, sir." Sterling bowed deeply at Wilbur.
Wilbur frowned and asked, "Are you the Chairman of Pentagon Corp?" "I'm only an old person in front of you, sir," said Sterling humbly.
Michelle walked over and stood obediently behind her father.
Wilbur looked at them and said slowly, "It looks like you're not confident in your subordinates. Did you know they would be defeated?" Sterling smiled and said, "No. I didn'think they would be defeated when Michelle requested Hugh Denver ind Silas Xaver. However, I've lways been cautious. I chere ust in case, and I prepared a gift for 'ou as an apology if you win the attle." >w"You're quite honest, huh?" asked Wilbur.
Sterling sighed and replied, "There's no point lying to someone like you, sir. Honesty is the best policy." "You're right, but your daughter wanted to kill me, so why should I spare her?" "We don't have a deep-seated grudge, and all of this conflict has arisen because of business competition. I believe that whether you kill Michelle or not, it might not be of great importance to you, sir." Wilbur was silent.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Sir, why don't you have a look at the gift?" Sterling beckoned the butler. The butler behind him immediately opened the box. There were the bones of a hand inside the box. However, it was not an ordinary human hand. The bones were five times larger than a regular human hand, and it had been crystalized. It had a sheen of iridescent light inside, and it contained a terrifying power.
Sterling said, "This is the Crystal elBone. I led exploration teams on expeditions when I was a young man and stumbled upon it by chance. It was found to contain tremendous energy. Even the Sanctuary level cultivators aroundcouldn't determine its origin. However, they were certain it plays an extremely important role for cultivators. One's cultivation could be elevated to another level by absorbing its power." "You're right. It does contain tremendous energy," said Wilbur slowly.
Sterling said, "So I kept it. I intend to use it when a cultivator appears in our family. Unfortunately, be it fate or whatever reason, the Jenkins has never produced a cultivator, despite holding massive wealth. It's quite a shame." "Do you plan to use it as a trade?" asked Wilbur.
Sterling shook his head and said, "Not exactly want to use it to befriend you, sir. As for Michelle, you can let her make amends with her life if you find her actions to be unforgivable. There's no need for you to kill her yourself." Wilbur chuckled and looked at Michelle.
Michelle seemed to have accepted her fate at that point. She bowed deeply at Wilbur without saying a word.
Wilbur looked at the Crystal Bone once more.
