Chapter 1

“Wilbur, why did you assault Yvonne?”

Wilbur Penn responded calmly to the Willows’ interrogations, “Yvonne came home drunk late at night with her clothes all messy. I was just helping her to bed so she could rest, but you accused me of assaulting her. Also, she’s my wife. How is that assault?”

“It’s assault if violence was used, even if you’re husband and wife,” roared Wilbur’s father-in-law, Jackson Willow.

His mother-in-law, Miranda Wester, chimed in as well. “That’s right! You’re getting a divorce today, and you’re leaving with nothing.”

Wilbur’s brows furrowed so hard that they knitted together.

Just then, the younger sister, Chelsea Willow, said, “Dad, Mom, what are you guys doing? If it hadn’t been for Wilbur giving us fifty million dollars back then, we wouldn’t have moved on from being regular folks to becoming billionaires with a booming supermarket business right now. Have you forgotten what Wilbur has done for us?”

Wilbur’s wife, Yvonne, roared. “Shush, you! It’s true that he gave us fifty million dollars, but he hasn’t done anything in the past three years other than lazing around! We built the Willow empire on our own. He has nothing to do with it.”

Chelsea was just about to retaliate when her father said, “There’s nothing more for you to say. They’re getting a divorce for sure.”

Chelsea bit her lip and sighed.

Wilbur shook his head. It had been three years. Apart from Chelsea, every other member of the Willows had let him down.

“I’ll think about it,” said Wilbur as he returned to his room.

Wilbur walked into the shower after taking off his clothes. His back was exposed, showing a ferocious-looking dragon head covering most of his back.

It was not a tattoo but a mark that he bore ever since he was born. He had also gotten strange energy from the mark.

Ever since that day, he changed his name to Trevor Penn, fighting with his life on the line overseas and made his mark in history by forming the legendary Abyss Mercenaries.
