Living With My Lady Boss by Blue Silver novel Chapter 2179

The mirror shattered into pieces as the figure of that Dashan man appeared in Buck's mind. He recollected the time he was ambushed by an opponent. Despite him killing his opponent in the end, the battle had left a large wound on Buck's belly.

Buck thought that he would have died from the battle, only for a Dashan man to appear just as he was about to lose consciousness. That man was Fremont Skye, and he nursed Buck back to life.

In fact, Fremont had even given Buck a part of his powers so that Buck could reach the pre-Emperor level. After that, Buck worked hard and made it to the Emperor level.

Buck became more and more powerful, practically running the black market in Eweyn. Yet the hatred within him refused to fade, just like the scar on his belly. Anyone could have saved him, but why did it have to be a Dashan?

Dashans were seen as a lowly race by the people of Eweyn, considered to be powerless and foolish, destined to be slaves for the rest of their lives. That was what he thought until he met Fremont and witnessed a Dashan elite before his very eyes.

Buck had become the strongest person in Eweyn, but the resentment in his chest had never gone away. It was buried deep in his heart like a chronic ache, and Wilbur's appearance only made it worse.

Despite the fact that Fremont had helped Buck to become the owner of Tuttle Mine and he had promised Fremont to wait for his chosen one to come, decades had passed, and Fremont was probably dead now.

There was no way his chosen one would show up, but Fremont was a stain on Buck's memory that refused to be washed out. The buzz that Wilbur had created upon arriving in Bruille Town had stirred the hatred in Fremont's heart once more.

Thus, Buck was never going to let Wilbur leave Bruille Town. He had thought that Wilbur would be stuck in Tuttle Mine forever and starve himself to death, only for the guy to come out unscathed.

Well, he would just have to die a peaceful death at night, then. The next morning when the sun rose, Bruille Town would go back to the way it was before.

Buck would still be the same as he had always been. Everything would go back to normal.

…

As the conversation went on, Wilbur could tell that Buck was definitely no ordinary man. Since Buck knew of the Dark Tree, he had to be at least at the Emperor level. As to how he knew about the Dark Tree, however, Wilbur was not too sure about that.

Not like Buck was important to Wilbur anymore. Wilbur had found the broken ninth dragon cauldron piece in Eweyn and was going to leave the next day in search of the rest of the pieces.

Every country had its elites, and Buck was definitely one of them. However, Wilbur did not see himself becoming an enemy to Buck, as both of them were from different countries and definitely did not have anything to butt heads on.

After dinner, Wilbur returned to his room and took out the ninth dragon cauldron piece from earlier. He was about to channel his spirit energy into it when Punter could be heard crying out in agony outside.
