Living With My Lady Boss

Wilbur chuckled wryly and shook his head before walking inside.

At that moment, a servant in the gatehouse stopped Wilbur, saying, "I'm sorry, Lord Earl is not receiving visitors today."

Carlson shook his head with a smirk, thinking, 'What audacity, this isn't a place you can just barge into.'

After all, the title of Earl was not given for nothing.

However, Wilbur simply replied, "I'm Wilbur, I made an appointment with Hans to visit him today."

With that, Wilbur confidently strode inside, and the gatekeeper did not dare to stop him.

Lindon and Carlson were dumbfounded, exchanging disbelieving glances. Why was he allowed to enter so easily? What made him so special?

Carlson attempted to argue with the gatekeeper, but Lindon held him back, cautioning, "Let's wait, let's not act rashly."

Carlson reluctantly relented. As for Elise, she was still unconscious from drinking too much, so she did not come along.

Meanwhile, Wilbur swaggered all the way to the castle, entering its deep hall. Inside, there was no one except for a rectangular wooden table with copper edges.

Wilbur sat down at the table and casually lit a cigarette. Just then, Earl Hans appeared from within the castle, slowly making his way towards Wilbur.

Wilbur glanced at him. As Hans sat down across from Wilbur, he smiled and remarked, "Such a young age, and already at the Sanctuary level, impressive." "Earl Hans, I just want to know where Lou is. There's no need to complicate things," Wilbur's words carried a weight of significance.

Hans chuckled slightly, asking, "Mister Wilbur, what's your relationship with Lou?"

"He took some money from me," Wilbur replied nonchalantly.

Hans nodded. "Similar to what I suspected. But what makes you think you can retrieve that money?"

"Because that money was mine," Wilbur said, his voice low.

Hans smiled and said, "It seems you still don't understand Morburn."

"I don't understand, and there's no need to understand," Wilbur replied calmly.

At that moment, Morris appeared around the corner, accompanied by the upside- down man, Theo, slowly making their way over.

Simultaneously, Governor Wynna, surrounded by a squad of guards, entered the

Wilbur found himself subtly surrounded.

Facing Hans, with Morris and Theo on his left, and Wynna's guards on his right, Wilbur observed the guards holding large white futuristic firearms, aimed at him.

"So, this is your way of welcoming guests?" Wilbur remarked casually.

Hans chuckled, standing up and moving next to Morris, he said slowly, "This is Morris, head of the intelligence bureau. He's been pursuing you. The Governor and I are merely assisting him in apprehending you."

"Pursuing me? Under what charges?" Wilbur inquired.

Morris spoke icily, "Forcibly breaching the border, injuring an immigration officer. These charges are enough to put you away for a lifetime."

"Interesting, you dare to fabricate any charges, don't you? Did you also falsely accuse Connor and arrest him?" Wilbur asked with a smile.

Hans smiled faintly and said, "Perhaps you should worry about yourself. Mister Morris here, like you, is a formidable figure in the Sanctuary level. Combined with the electromagnetic guns of the Governor's guard and my presence, you have no chance of escape."

Wilbur's gaze swept over the faces of these individuals.

A local tycoon, an administrative governor, and an intelligence bureau chief.

These three could be considered the most powerful forces in Morburn.
