Living With My Lady Boss by Blue Silver novel Chapter 2147

Therefore, Barker would rather die than let Adam devour his soul, becoming merely an appendage of Adam's body. Before his death, there was one crucial task Barker needed to complete: to cleanse his shame.

Wilbur's arrival was undoubtedly an opportunity. If Wilbur died, Fremont would certainly come. At that time, Barker could join forces with Adam to kill Fremont. Once Fremont was dead and Adam was gravely injured, Barker would then destroy the soul contract.

Upon destruction of the soul contract, the soul fire would surely annihilate both Barker and Adam. Barker believed that achieving this would not only wash away his past humiliation but also prevent him from losing to Adam.

In Barker's view, this was a man's choice. Moreover, Adam's earlier words had provoked him. If given another twenty years, Adam would be able to control this dimension entirely. When that time came, Adam would no longer need Barker and would certainly try to kill him.

Thus, all grievances had to be settled in advance. To initiate the final revenge plan, the first step was to kill Wilbur. Only with Wilbur's death could the entire plan smoothly begin.

Barker suddenly asked, "My lord, do you think your mother would kill Wilbur?"

In the evening, a few policemen escorted Wilbur to the entrance of the Ezekiel Mine. Wilbur said, "Alright, this is far enough. I can go in by myself."

"Mister Wilbur, please be careful once you're inside."

The woman snorted coldly and said, "For over a thousand years, thousands of Dasha workers have been exploited and enslaved here. Now, as a Dasha person, you plead for them? Isn't that laughable?"

"Yes, you're right. Many Dasha workers were indeed exploited and enslaved here, but that is history. The world has acknowledged and documented this long ago. However, that was in the past. The current residents here are not the exploiters of those times. So, I hope you will stop harming them."

"Can you so easily forget a thousand years of grievances?"

"I haven't forgotten. I just hope to treat innocent people with fairness."
