Living With My Lady Boss by Blue Silver novel Chapter 1818

Just then, Tina could not help but snort at the look of embarrassment and fear on Grote's face.

Grote looked over at her. "What's so funny?"

Tina shook her head. "Sorry, I didn't mean to laugh at you. In fact, I actually respect your intentions here."

"I'd take on the battle if I were you," said Demetra.

"Oh, hell no." Grote shook his head. "You're on your own there. I'm not like you. By the way, Mister Penn, I came here because I hope you can help me. I've booked a flight back to the Allied States, and I'll be gone by early morning. Can I stay the night at yours? I really don't want to die."

"Yeah, it's fine. You can stay. My body's mostly recovered. I'll take on Toshen if he shows up."

Wilbur sat up from the bed, flexing his joints in front of Grote for show. Honestly, Wilbur understood where Grote was coming from. Despite the fact that Grote was also a cultivator, his very own master had not been able to defeat Toshen, so why would Grote sacrifice himself like that?

Grote was not wrong to pull out when the situation got dire. Besides, it was hard enough for a cultivator to get to peak Sanctuary level, and who knew how powerful Grote would be ten years after today?

"I'm afraid this Toshen guy won't be as easy to deal with, Mister Penn. Let me get rid of him if he shows up."

"That's alright. I'll face him. My body's already recovered, after all."

"Mister Grote, could you tell me how your Earth-type powers are able to grow your body and muscles so immensely?"

"Of course! You've helped me greatly, after all. This is a secret my master, George, passed down to me, but now that he's gone I don't exactly need to keep it a secret anymore. Earth-type powers are very hardy. As long as you can draw out the limits of your body and use your Earth-type powers to support it, you'll become extremely strong. It's like how you have more energy in your fist when it's clenched."

Wilbur paused for a beat, before saying, "Do you mean like this, Mister Grote?"

Wilbur's body began rapidly expanding, and it did not take long before he stood at around three meters, with his muscles swollen and bulging with strength.
