Living With My Lady Boss by Blue Silver novel Chapter 2742

"Hahaha!"

Upon seeing this, Horst threw his head back in laughter and said, "Wilbur, do you think I'm as foolish as you? Let me tell you, I've long since mastered the power of dark space. Now, let my dark space power devour all your energy!"

Hearing this, Wilbur was startled, but he quickly regained his composure. He suddenly stretched out his hands and grasped Horst's energy ball.

In the next second, Wilbur's hands emitted a white light, and the energy within the ball was rapidly absorbed by Wilbur's Light Gloves. As the energy ball grew smaller, Horst's expression transformed into that of shock as he exclaimed, "What? You… You're actually the Child of Light?"

Wilbur did not understand why practitioners in the middle dimensions would react with such shock upon learning of his identity, but this was not the time to seek answers. Wilbur could only accelerate the absorption of the energy ball. As the energy ball shrank further, Horst suddenly unleashed the powerful force of his dark space.

A strong shockwave instantly sent Wilbur flying several meters back. Gritting his teeth, Horst glared at Wilbur and muttered, "You wretched bastard."

At this point, the onlookers below the platform also noticed the white light emanating from Wilbur's hands, and everyone fell into silence. If Wilbur was truly the successor of the Child of Light, did it mean that the Dark Lord had been defeated and that the middle dimensions would soon be restored to order?

There was a legend about the Child of Light: when the true Child of Light returned to the middle dimension, the middle dimension would begin to repair itself. At that time, nine City Lords formed of the power of light would appear in the Nine Major Towns.

If those nine returned to their positions, the Nine Major Towns would become more peaceful, and the different middle dimensions would gradually begin to establish order.

Although this would ensure fairness for all practitioners in the middle dimensions and bring back law and order, it would inevitably cause a massive disruption to the established hierarchy of the Nine Major Towns. The original beneficiaries would be deprived.

If that time came and complete fairness was restored to the middle dimensions, it would also restrict everyone's freedom. This was not a good thing for most cultivators, as the purpose of cultivation was to enhance one's strength, and battles were inevitable.

If even fighting were subject to rules, life in the middle dimensions would be strictly controlled. At that point, no one would want to live that kind of life.

Originally, many of the spectators below the platform supported Wilbur, but after learning that Wilbur was the Child of Light, they began to loudly curse him in unison, "Kill him! Kill him!"

"What?"

Wilbur's eyes scanned the crowd below the platform, his brows furrowed. He could not understand what had happened or why so many people suddenly hated him.
