Maniac stood up and replied slowly, "It's true, Mister Taft." "Why?" asked Chance coldly.
Maniac stepped toward Chance and bowed. He said, "It wasn't consensual, Mister Taft. Someone forcedto do so." The people who did not know the truth were instantly shocked. 'ls that so?’ Wilbur sighed slightly.
"It's him." Maniac pointed at Wilbur and declared loudly, "A few days ago, this guy named Wilbur Penn found me. He almost killedbecause he's an Ambience level cultivator. He threatenedto attack Joel. | had no choice but to comply. Thankfully, you're back, Mister Taft. Please seek justice for me, and I'm willing to be your adopted son too." Then, he knelt on the floor without showing any signs of getting up.

'Could it be true?’ They thought.
Everyone looked toward Wilbur at that moment.
The young man looked ordinary. Was he really an Ambience level cultivator?" Chance looked at Wilbur and asked slowly, "Are you Wilbur Penn?" "Yes," replied Wilbur nonchalantly.
Chance frowned and asked, "Is Manny Ack telling the truth?" "You could say so," Wilbur remained seated as he admitted it.
Chance scoffed coldly and said, "How dare you threaten other people with your level of cultivation in Anya City? That's very bold of you." "Joel William deserves it. His punishment is far from enough," said Wilbur nonchalantly.
"How dare you!" "Stand up when you speak to Mister Taft." "This is outrageous! What's with your attitude?" People started to scold Wilbur. Sof them rolled their sleeves like they were ready to start a fight.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThey were no match for him, but they wanted to act like they had the courage to do so in front of Chance.
Chance raised his hand to stop everyone when he heard that. He asked coldly, "How about you tellwhat Joel did?" "Joel owed my friend tens of millions in construction fees. When my friend went to collect his payment, they refused to pay, and they also resorted to violence against my friend. They sought revenge and blew up my friend's house. His parents were buried alive. Joel is a malicious individual. Even death is too lenient a punishment for him," said Wilbur in a cold tone.
Joel stood up angrily and said, "The death of Ethan Osborn's parents was an accident, but he beat my son to death. What about that? | only have one son." "You deserved it. Do you believe that the death of his parents was merely an accident?" Wilbur also stood up. His cold gaze intimidated Joel.
Joel felt a chill and he instantly could not speak.
Everyone could tell that was probably true. However, it did not matter without solid evidence. A situation like that depended on who was more capable, so Joel clearly had the upper hand. He had the support of a Saint level cultivator, so he had the power to bring justice to his side.
Chance asked in a low voice, "Can you prove that Joel William killed his parents by detonation?" "He wiped the evidence a long tago, but | think everyone knows the truth," Wilbur stated coldly.
Upon hearing Wilbur's statement, Chance asked coldly, "How dare you accuse my son without any evidence? Are you trying to disrespect me?" "Disrespect you?" Wilbur sneered and said, "I think you should focus on cultivation and stop being delusional before you die of old age." "How dare you!" Maniac stood up at that moment and interrupted, "Wilbur Penn, I've had enough of you! | might not be your match, but showing such arrogance before Mister Taft is as good as testing your luck!" Wilbur looked at Maniac and sighed. Wilbur said, "You made a bad choice, Maniac. You'll regret it." "I'll regret it?" Maniac sneered and said, "The only regret | have is that | didn't look for Mister Taft sooner so that he'd helpseek justice."
