Living With My Lady Boss by Blue Silver novel Chapter 2792

Although Edmund and Wilbur could join forces to deal with the threat of Hadirt's massacre, once the danger was eliminated, Edmund became even more aware of how formidable Wilbur was.

Even though Wilbur was a righteous cultivator, if he were allowed to develop his own network of connections in Buck Town, it was likely that the ruler of the town would change hands.

Edmund had nearly exhausted everything to secure his position as the City Lord of Buck Town. Now that Wilbur had appeared, the thought of losing his status as City Lord to him was something Edmund could not accept.

Therefore, despite his fear of Wilbur, Edmund had to suppress Wilbur's allies. Since he could not personally intervene in this matter, he had to rely on the Shadow Group to take action. Edmund was someone who would rather die in battle than lose an opportunity.

Divan frowned at Edmund before nodding and saying, "Yes, Lord Babbit, I will handle it immediately."

After leaving Babbit's residence, Divan was deep in thought, puzzled by Babbit's words. Buck Town had always been under the control of Lord Edmund. Even when Hadirt appeared, it was Lord Edmund who led the defense. At that time, Babbit, the head of the Reyne family, did not participate, nor did the Reyne family get involved. So why would Babbit say such things now?

Could it be that Babbit had made up his mind to challenge Lord Edmund? However, after the Hadirt massacre, most of the cultivators in Buck Town had sided with Lord Edmund, and even the number of guards at the City Lord's quarters had increased significantly.

At the moment, Edmund held an authoritative position in Buck Town. Publicly challenging him now would only invite widespread condemnation, perhaps even outright anger. Divan shook his head, knowing that Babbit's actions were always enigmatic. Perhaps the head of the family had other plans.

Soon after, Divan found Jesse, the leader of the Shadow Group. Since the Shadow Group was the largest underground group within the Reyne family, Jesse's rank was second only to Babbit.

Divan knelt on one knee and said, "I pay my respects to Mister Jesse."

At that moment, Jesse was seated on his throne, holding a wine glass and swirling it around. With no tasks to attend to, Jesse had developed a fondness for drinking, especially savoring red wine, which he considered the most exquisite thing in the world.

Looking down at Divan, Jesse curled his lips into a slight smile and said, "Mister Divan, I've long considered bringing you into the Shadow Group. Although you only have the strength to guard the gate, doing so would at least elevate your status within the Reyne family, and you would undoubtedly gain more respect."
