Ch. 1191..1200
Chapter 1191 Severus had figured it out too.
He had to find a way to stop the state banquet that Nimbus was going to hold on Planet Royal in three months.
The Nine–Headed Serpent Clan loved eating humans. It was their instinct, and it could make them grow faster.
Hence, there was this irreconcilable difference between the two races.
If everyone in the MilkyWway found out that the Nine–Headed Serpent Clan worked together with Sangruil, there was no doubt that they would unite to fight against them.
At that time, even though they were absolutely capable of winning the fight, it would not be easy.
Other than that, Severus was afraid that he might catch the attention of the Universe Enforcers.
He had never seen those bunch of elusive fellows. However, that did not stop the Nine–Headed Serpent Clan from being afraid of them.
“Since Brother Moe put it that way, I shall use the bloodline secret technique to urge them to hurry over here. If their clan representatives can‘t arrive here in three months, I‘ll head to the Planet Royal with you and see what the Barlowe family got,” Severus said in a serious tone.
Indeed!!
The moment one heard the name of the Universe Enforcers, even one of the strongest clans, the Nine–Headed Serpent Clan, would chicken out.
Moe secretly snickered.
This was what he wanted.
He had to eliminate the Barlowe family as soon as possible and get everything under control.
Besides, he could not expose the Nine–Headed Serpent Clan yet.
As the overlord who had conquered the Milky Way before.
Moe would have known that once his plan of working together with the Nine–Headed Serpent Clan was exposed, he would immediately become the sinner of the Milky Way and everyone would see him as an enemy.
However, there was nothing they could do.
If he did not look for foreign aid, Sangruil would slowly drown in the river of history.
This was what Moe would never tolerate.
He could not let Sangruil be gone forever while he was leading it.
That was why he chose to make a reckless move and came up with this craziest idea.
If it failed, there was nothing more he could ask for.
It would only speed up Sangruil‘s downfall.
If he succeeded, then Sangruil would become the overlord of the Milky Way once again.
When the time came, all he had to do was to make the lands near Beast Galaxy a restricted area and secretly give it to the Nine–Headed Serpent Clan.
No one could know about this.
The Labate family could still be the royal family of the Milky Way.
It was a huge price to pay.
However, it was still acceptable.
He had the Nina–Headed Serpent Clan backing him up, so Moe could
not find any reason that this would fail.
He would only fail if he accidentally alerted the Universe Enforcers.
However, the chances of this happening were very low.
If things really turned out that way.
Then that would be how Sangruil would end.
Moe would not have anything to complain about either.
This was the last crazy thing a king of a nation that was about to fall would do
“It sets my mind at ease to hear Brother Severus say this. We‘re all in the same boat now. It‘s not going to benefit us in any way if the boat tips over. That‘s why we have to stop Nimbus from organizing the state banquet and eliminate all the risks that might make the plan fail.”
Moe finally put a smile on his face.
“Nice working with you. I hope Brother Moe can keep his promise after we‘ve succeeded, otherwise, it‘ll be difficult for me to explain to my clan.”
“Don‘t worry, Brother Severus. I have to have the capability to do so even if I change my mind. Don‘t you think so? Haha...”
The two of them talked to each other for a while.
After that, Severus sent Moe off.
Then, he used his blood to perform a secret technique and contacted the Nine–Headed Serpent Clan.
The communication devices were incapable of forming a connection between two galaxies. They had to perform a secret technique to be able to contact each other.
Every strong clan would have its own secret technique of communication.
Planet Buck.
David continued to lead Balu and Mia across the old–growth forest on Planet Buck.
They were looking for the Buckeranians who were hiding in the dark.
They soon arrived at a dark place. David reached out and signaled the two persons behind him to stop. The Buckeranian‘s hidden base was right in front of them. It was bigger than the other bases scattered across the planet.
Chapter 1192
There were at least hundreds of thousands of them.
The area occupied was much bigger too.
“Balu, there‘s a Buckeranian base in front of us. As the head of Planet Buck, it‘d be better for you to take the lead,” said David as he turned around.
“Yes! Mr. David!”
Balu took a few steps forward after that.
Then, Balu raised his voice, “Fellow Buckeranians, nice to meet you! I‘m Balu, son of Babu, previous head of Planet Buck. Three hundred years ago, Planet Buck encountered a disastrous event. My family and I were sent away from this planet. I finally made it back here today. This time, I‘ll lead all of you out of misery and live the peaceful life that we used to live. The Grim family, who brought disaster upon us, has been eliminated. God had mercy on us Buckeranians, and He gave us another chance to start a new life.”
After Balu finished talking, he kneeled on the ground. Then, both of his arms crossed and rested in front of his chest, with his forehead touching the ground. He made a special prayer gesture that only the Buckeranians would recognize.
Balu quietly kneeled on the ground.
Soon, there were noises in front of him.
There were pairs of bright eyes showing up in the dark.
Heads started popping out one after another on the top of the huge tree.
Slowly, not far ahead from them, a few thousand people started showing themselves. Young men and women were carrying different kinds of weapons in their hands.
These people were sizing David and the others up with curiosity.
They knew the three of them did not come here to take them away.
The Grim family would send many people here to take them away and make them their mining slaves every time they came here.
It was unlikely that they had only sent the three of them here.
other than that, the man who was kneeling on the ground performed the Buckeranians‘ ancient worship gesture.
This was the gesture the Buckeranians would only use when they worshiped their God every year.
However, these people did not ask any questions out loud.
It was as though they were waiting for someone to arrive. David and Mia did not say anything either.
After a while, the crowd in front of them dispersed and cleared a path.
A gray–haired old man leaning on his walking stick hobbled toward
them.
The old man had just shown up, and he asked impatiently, “Who? Who? Who‘s Balu?”
Balu heard the old man‘s voice.
Only then did he lift his head.
He looked at the old man and replied, “I‘m Balu!”
The old man saw the slave mark on Balu‘s forehead and immediately came forward to help Balu up. “Are... Are you really Balu? Babu‘s son?” The old man asked in a tone full of anticipation. “Yes! I‘m Balu. My father is Babu,” answered Balu.
“Little Balu! Do you still remember me? I’m Utopia,” The old man looked at him with his eyes welled with tears.
Utopia?
Balu tried recalling.
After all, three hundred years had passed since this.
Suddenly, it came to him.
He widened his eyes, and asked in a loud voice, “Uncle Utopia?”
“Yes! Yes! It‘s me!” The old man replied excitedly.
“Uncle Utopia, you... you‘re still alive? I thought everyone was dead. I didn‘t expect you‘d still be alive. That‘s great. Sobs...”
Balu got all emotional and suddenly started sobbing in front of everyone.
Utopia was his father‘s general officer back then.
He was also someone whom Balu was close with.
It was just that it had been a long time.
Utopia‘s appearance had changed a lot, and Balu did not recognize him.
It was hard for Balu to suppress his emotions when he could meet someone he knew after three hundred years.
However, it only took him a moment before he fell silent.
“I was supposed to be dead. Our people couldn‘t see any hope for the future. It truly upset me!” Utopia exclaimed. “Uncle Utopia, it must have been tough for you!”
“It‘s nothing! Little Balu, it must have been tougher for you all these years! Let‘s go! Let‘s head somewhere else and have a chat.”
Utopia was about to take Balu deeper into the forest after that.
“Okay!!!”
After Balu answered him, he turned around and looked at David, “Mr. David, please follow me.”
David smiled and nodded.
He felt happy for Balu to be able to reunite with someone he knew.
At the same time, it reminded David of the people who were waiting for him to return to Earth.
He had to get things done as soon as possible.
Then, he would return to the Earth.
That was the only place where David felt like home.
Chapter 1193
The old man and Balu headed deeper into the forest.
David and Mia followed them.
The path was a little dark due to the shade from the canopy’s leaves of the towering trees.
However, it did not affect David.
Daylight and the nighttime seemed to be no different for him after he reached this realm.
He had his mind power to support him.
He could even perceive an ant under the tree leaves clearly.
Mia followed closely behind David.
After they crossed a dark tunnel, things slowly began to brighten up.
Along the way, they saw that trees around them were full of Buckeranians standing on the treetops.
All of them looked at David and Mia curiously.
On this planet, other than the Buckeranians who had the slave mark on their forehead, they had only seen those who were sent by the Grim family who took them away and made them their mining slaves. Those men were fierce–looking.
There were no slave marks on David and Mia’s foreheads, and they were not as fierce–looking as the Grim family.
They were beautiful.
They had never seen such a beautiful creature on Planet Buck.
That was why David and Mia attracted all the Buckeranians‘ attention.
They continued to walk for a while.
The old man and Balu stopped under a giant tree.
The giant tree looked like it had a diameter of at least seven to eight meters.
It could absolutely be considered a giant among all the trees there.
The inner side of the tree had been emptied, and there were stairs in it. One could climb the stairs and make his way up to the treehouse on the treetop.
The old man led Balu into the tree. Then, they made their way up the stairs.
David and Mia followed them into the tree too.
As for the Buckeranians who were behind them, they could only stop outside the tree. They were not allowed to enter without permission.
They went all the way up.
A few minutes later, David entered the treehouse on the treetop.
The furniture in the house was simple.
There was a wooden round table surrounded by a dozen wooden chairs. There were a few small square tables beside it. Each table had two chairs next to it, and a set of teacups on it.
The old man walked toward a small square table and sat down on the chair, then he said, “Take a seat!”
David and the others made themselves at home. They sat down on the chairs beside him.
“Balu, who’re they?” The old man asked after the four of them sat down.
“Uncle Utopia, they’re the saviors of Planet Buck. Without them, this day would never have come for us Buckeranians.” Balu looked at David and answered gratefully.
“Oh? What happened?” The old man wondered.
After that, Balu started telling his story.
It all started the moment his family had been taken away.
They became slaves and worked served the Grim family for three hundred years. Meanwhile, Balu’s parents could not accept the fact that they had fallen from grace and become slaves. They got so depressed that they eventually fell ill and passed away.
Balu was left alone at the death’s door. At first, Balu had lost all hope too.
This was until David showed up and destroyed the Grim family. He rescued Balu and followed him back to Planet Buck. He continued to save the Buckeranians who were enslaved by the Grim family.
One could say that without David, the Buckeranians would slowly die and become extinct after hundreds or thousands of years.
“Balu, what did you say? The Grim family on this planet had been killed? All the mining slaves had been freed?” The old man grabbed Balu’s hand and asked excitedly.
“Yes, Uncle Utopia! Not only were the Grim family members on this planet eliminated, but the whole Grim family was wiped out by Mr. David. From today onwards, Planet Buck belongs to us. We can live the peaceful life we had a hundred years ago, and no one will ever disturb us again,” said Balu as tears welled up in his eyes.
Chapter 1194
“Is… Is… Is this true?”
“Yes! It’s true! Uncle Utopia, you can follow me there and see for yourself.”
“Hahaha… Justice has been served! I thought the Buckeranians would never be able to stand up again for the rest of our lives. I could never die peacefully knowing that. I didn’t expect the Grim family would pay for things they did so soon. I’m so happy to hear that. Hahaha…”
The old man started laughing loudly after he made sure what Balu told him was true.
Balu lived his life as a slave working for the Grim family. Were the Buckeranians left on Planet Buck not being enslaved too?
The fact that Planet Buck used to have a population of a hundred million in the past, but suffered a sharp decline in their population such that there were only a few million today, showed how the Buckeranians had lived during the past three
hundred years. ‘
They lived in fear every day.
They would die if they fought against them. If they did not fight, they had no choice but to become mining slaves who worked day and night.
After the old man finished laughing, he stood up and walked toward David. He kneeled on the floor and bowed to him three times respectfully.
David did not stand up to stop him.
He accepted it.
Even though the old man was very old.
As David’s combat reached the partial Eternal Realm, becoming the most powerful person in the Milky Way, his state of mind had changed too.
As the saying went, high achievers tended to be successful early in life. Someone powerful should be respected.
Besides, he was the one who saved millions of Buckeranians on Planet Buck. David felt comfortable accepting the old man’s respect.
After that, the old man said excitedly, “Thank you Mr. David for saving Planet Buck. Utopia will never forget what you have done for the Buckeranians.”
“Sir, you don’t have to do this! The Grim family has done many evil deeds. The day would come for them to get their punishment. Someone would’ve done so even if it wasn’t me. The reason I killed them was that we had a score to settle. I just ended up saving all of you in the process,” David replied calmly.
“Mr. David, in any case, you saved us and gave Buckeranians the chance to survive. Otherwise, we’ll probably slowly disappear as time passes, and we’d eventually become extinct. I would like to thank you on behalf of all Buckeranians.”
The old man continued to bow at David a few times, only then did he slowly rise to his feet.
Balu immediately came forward to help him up.
“Uncle Utopia, let’s go outside and tell everyone about this!
Our people have been bottling up their emotions for so long, so we should spread the good news and celebrate. Then, I’ll leave to look for the others.”
“Sure, sure, sure! I’ll gather everyone here and tell them the good news. You don’t have to go to all that trouble to look for the other Buckeranians. I know how to contact them. I only have to tell them the truth and they’ll show up.”
“Then without further ado, let’s get started.”
“Okay!”
As the previous general officer of Babu, the head of Planet Buck, Utopia was a prestigious figure.
Not only did all the Buckeranians living in the base have to listen to him, but he also wielded enormous influence in other bases.
The reason why the Buckeranians were divided into several groups was that splitting up could prevent every one of them from getting killed by the Grim family.
Utopia led the three of them out of the giant tree. He gathered all the Buckeranians and announced the news of the
destruction of the Grim family.
All Buckeranians immediately erupted in cheers and applause.
At the same time, everyone was weeping tears of joy.
They had been waiting for this day for a long time.
Then, Utopia began contacting the other groups that were hidden away in the dark.
A day later, all Buckeranians came out from their hidden base and started to step out into the sunlight.
They hid in the dark, and they dared not to leave there.
Every base leader began to head to the place where the Grim family had stayed before.
Balu showed his imposing aura as their head. After he gave an enthusiastic speech, the rebuilding of the whole Planet Buck began and the Buckeranians continued with the tasks that remained undone.
After the bodies that were left outside were gathered, they were buried in the ground.
Now, all Buckeranians worked with a will. It had been a long time since there were smiles on everyone’s faces.
David felt relieved to see Planet Buck getting back on track. His work here was done.
Chapter 1195
Three days later.
David found Balu and told him that he would be leaving Planet Buck soon.
“Mr. David, you’re leaving soon?” Balu asked.
“Yes! Planet Buck has gotten back on track. I should leave too,” replied David.
“Mr. David, can you please stay for another day? I’ll leave with you after getting everything in order.”
“Balu! You should stay here. The Buckeranians need you.”
“Mr. David! I must leave with you. This is not only to repay your kindness, but it’s also for this.”
Balu said as he pointed at the slave mark on his forehead, then he continued, “The only possible way to lift the limitations of the slave mark is to follow you, only then my people will be truly freed.”
David looked at the sincere expression on Balu’s face.
He knew he had made up his mind.
“Alright then! I’ll give you one more day to prepare. We’ll leave Planet Buck tomorrow. Since you’ll be following me around in the future, stop calling me Mr. David. Call me David, like how Mia does!”
David turned around and left after that.
Balu, who was behind him, bowed and thanked him, “Thank you, David!”
At night.
David was about to rest.
“Knock–knock–knock!!!”
There was a knock on the door.
“Come in!” said David.
Balu pushed the door open and came in. Someone was behind him, and it turned out to be the old man, Utopia.
“I’m sorry! David, sorry to disturb you,” Balu apologized.
“It’s still early! What’s the matter?” David asked.
“Uncle Utopia said he needed to talk to you.”
David shifted his gaze to Utopia.
At this moment, Utopia said to Balu, “Little Balu, I have something to discuss with Mr. David. Please step out for a moment.”
“Okay! David, Uncle Utopia, take your time.”
Balu turned around and left the room after that, and he closed the door behind him.
“Old master, what’s the matter?” David asked with curiosity.
David was confused. Why did the old man come looking for him? Were they not familiar with each other?
Even though he saved the Buckeranians.
The old man kneeled before him and thanked him. What else could there be?
Utopia bowed to David first, and only then did he speak, “We, the Buckeranians, shall never forget Mr. David’s great
kindness and what you’ve done for Planet Buck. Your name will go down in our history and be passed on to the next generation. The next generation of Planet Buck will remember those dark days and bear your kindness in mind.”
David did not know if he should cry or laugh.
That was what he wanted to tell him.
Was there a need to pay a visit and tell him about this at this hour?
“Old Master, there’s no need to do so. It’s no trouble at all, and I’ll probably forget about this soon.”
“Mr. David has done many good deeds. It’s normal to forget about them. Even though it wasn’t a problem to you, it means a lot to Planet Buck. It’s a chance for rebirth and for us to start a new life again.”
Utopia paused for a moment, and continued, “Mr. David, little Balu will be staying with you. Please take good care of little Balu. I know he’d like to follow you around to see the galaxy. He’d be looking for a way to lift the curse. I know it’s not going to be easy for him. I’ll leave little Balu to you.”
“No problem, Old Master. I won’t let anything happen to Balu since he’s with me. As for the slave mark, it’s an evil curse that has been cast over the whole planet. I’m sorry. There’s nothing I can do either,” David shook his head and replied.
“Mr. David, you don’t have to feel sorry. This is our fate. I came looking for you today not just to express my gratitude, there’s also something I’d like to give to you.”
Utopia reached out for the shirt pocket in his arms, and he was about to take something out.
David immediately rejected him when he heard the old man was going to give him something. “It’s okay, Old Master. I didn’t help you all to get something in return. Don’t do this. I’ve got everything I need.”
Chapter 1196
Come on, he was at partial Eternal Realm rank now. What else could he not have?
Other than some lavish points, he had everything he needed.
Besides, what good stuff could a small place like Planet Buck have?
However, David had just finished saying tehis sentence when his attention was immediately attracted by the stuff in the box that Utopia was carrying.
‘What’s this?
‘An oval–shaped stone?”
The moment Utopia opened the box, a refreshing breath immediately filled the room.
It made David feel like his cells were dancing happily in his body. He wanted to let out a comfortable moan so badly.
It was his first time encountering such a situation.
This must be something good!
“Mr. David, please don’t reject it. There’s nothing we can do to repay your kindness and what you’ve done for Planet Buck. This is something our people found in one of the mines ten years ago. I was on the verge of death at that time. The stone was handed to me after that. I liked it very much, so I’ve been keeping it beside me all the time. I didn’t expect that my body would heal miraculously ever since that day, and I’ve been alive until this day.
“Slowly, I found out that it was the stone that was working miracles. Even though I have no idea what it is, I know it’s something good. Perhaps Mr. David will need it one day in the future. This is a gift from the Buckeranians. Please keep it, Mr. David. If you refuse to accept our gift, I’m not going to stand up today.”
Utopia kneeled on the ground and lifted the stone in his hands above his head. If David did not take it from him, he would keep on kneeling on the ground and would not stand up.
David looked at Utopia, who was kneeling not far away from him.
He could not help but let out a sigh.
David had always subconsciously believed a saying.
A good–hearted person was a grateful person.
The honest Buckeranians were like that.
He wondered how the Grim family could have done that to them.
However, families like the Grim family who would get their way, by hook or by crook, for the sake of their interests did not have any sympathy for others.
They could do anything as long as it was beneficial for the family.
There were many forces like them in the Royal Region.
The Tuffin family was one of them too.
The Earth gave Pavan a warm welcome when he arrived there back then.
No one would have expected that he was up to something evil, and he wanted to make everyone on Earth his slaves.
If it were not for the system announcing it on time, the Tuffin family could have probably planted the slave marks on the people living on Earth.
At that time, David’s efforts would have been in vain no matter how hard he tried to struggle.
Earth would not have ended up any better than Planet Buck.
David did not want Utopia’s belongings.
However, the breath that the stone gave out was too attractive. He thought the stone could come in handy in the future if he took it with him.
“Old Master, you don’t have to do this!”
“Mr. David, please accept it. Otherwise, we, Buckeranians, will feel uneasy about it,” insisted Utopia.
David had no choice but to stand up. He walked toward Utopia and reached out to take the box from him.
The stone had just fallen into David’s hands when the system automatically popped up.
There were three big words written on it.
‘Stone of Life.
Chapter 1197
Stone of Life?
What was that?
Curiosity made David continue to read the introduction stated below the system!
[Stone of Life is a special substance nurtured in the universe. It’s precious and it’s categorized as a rare stone and one of the treasures of Heaven and Earth.
[Formation: It is extremely hard to form the Stone of Life. It is formed with the crystallization of the Water of Life…]
[Function: Stone of Life gives out a strong breath of life. It can extend the life of all living things in the Universe after absorbing it…]
[Value: 5 trillion Galaxy dollars.]
The system gave a detailed introduction of the Stone of Life.
However, David briefly went through it and he eventually stopped shifting his gaze to focus on how much the stone was worth.
5 trillion Galaxy dollars?
Although it was incomparable to the Nine Turning Star Iron, it was still extraordinary!
David did not expect to run into such a rare treasure on this ultra–small planet.
Even though the Stone of Life could do little help to David
now, something that could extend one’s life would prove to be useful in the future.
Moreover, the main point was, David could gain fifty thousand lavish points from it.
This was what David needed the most at the moment.
“Old master, are you sure you want to give this to me? Do you have any idea what this is?” David asked.
“Mr. David, since I’ve brought it out, there’s no reason for me to take it back. Besides, no matter what it is, it’s incomparable to everything you’ve done for us,” answered Utopia.
“This is the Stone of Life. It’s one of the rarest stones amongst the treasures of Heaven and Earth in the Universe. Your health might deteriorate and your days will be numbered after giving this to me.”
“Mr. David, I have no regrets to be able to live until the day our people regained our freedom. You don’t have to worry about me.”
David shot Utopia a glance, pondered for a moment, and said, This is a precious stone. I like it too.”
“I’m glad that Mr. David likes it. I’m really glad that Mr. David likes it,” said Utopia with a smile on his face.
The smile did not look good on his face which was full of wrinkles.
However, David felt a feeling of being close to him.
“But I can’t take what’s yours for nothing,” said David as he shook his head.
“How can you say that it’s for nothing? You’re Planet Buck’s savior. It’s an honor that Mr. David likes our gift,” Utopia immediately replied.
“Old master, this is my way of doing things. It’s nothing to offer some help to you all. I can’t take something so precious. from you. I’ve got an idea, and let’s see what you think of it! If it’s a deal, I’ll take the Stone of Life. If it doesn’t work, then I can’t take it.”
“Please go ahead, Mr. David!”
Then, David told him what he had in mind.
He would pay a certain amount of Galaxy dollars to buy the Stone of Life.
However, the money would not be given directly to Utopia.
It was useless to them.
They were too far from the Royal Region.
Furthermore, if he gave him 5 trillion Galaxy dollars at once and asked them to spend it in the Royal Region, they might not be able to make it back alive.
Those who had the slave marks on their forehead were meant to be lower in status.
If someone inferior had so much money on them, would he not be painting a bright red target on their backs.
Hence, David came up with a plan.
He would give the money to East League International Investment Limited Company as Planet Buck’s special fund. Then, he would ask the company to purchase everything
Planet Buck needed and deliver them here.
It would be best to inform Princess Astrid beforehand so that he could purchase some advanced military weapons from the Royal Region and get Planet Buck armed to the teeth.
He could buy some genetic drugs for the Buckeranians to awaken their potential abilities.
Previously, when the Grim family took over the planet, they used it once but diluted the genetic drugs, which led to side effects.
The Buckeranians that took the drugs were no longer alive.
The current Buckeranians were the generations after them, and they had never used it before. Therefore, they could take genetic drugs that had no side effects and awaken their powers.
That way, not only could it increase the combat ability of Planet Buck, but David could also gain another fifty thousand lavish points.
Killing two birds with one stone. Perfect!
Chapter 1198
5 trillion Galaxy Dollars could get an ultra–small planet with a population of a few million armed to the teeth. Everyone would be armed with weapons.
It could even ensure that every Buckeranian would own a heavy mecha.
That way, Planet Buck’s combat ability would increase exponentially.
Utopia fell silent after he heard what David said.
He initially thought of giving the Stone of Life to David to repay his kindness in saving Planet Buck.
However, it was difficult for him to reject David’s suggestion.
There was a chance to make Planet Buck stronger and more competitive. They would be able to protect themselves when enemies came.
As the ruler of Planet Buck, there was no way Utopia could turn him down.
Utopia knew how it felt to not be able to defend yourself when someone was attacking your planet. He watched his people die one by one, and their population which had numbered nearly a hundred million had decreased over time, leaving only a few million left. Yet, there was nothing he could do.
However, if Utopia agreed to it, it would contradict his original intention.
Therefore, he was struggling internally now. He did not know
how to answer David’s question at that moment.
David could see that Utopia was struggling too.
Hence, he said, “Old Master, if you refuse this, I’m not taking the stone. Money doesn’t matter to me, but it’s essential for Planet Buck, which is in such a situation now. Think about it. If you disagree with me, I have no choice but to return you the stone no matter how much I like it.”
After that, David handed the box back to him.
Utopia had been living for hundreds of years. How could he not understand what David meant?
He was forcing him to agree to it!
At this moment, the old man bowed deeply to David with tears in his eyes and replied, “Mr. David, I’d like to thank you on behalf of all Buckeranians. Planet Buck will go through hell and high water to come to you in the future.”
David immediately helped Utopia up.
“Old Master, you don’t have to do so. Your stone will be of great help to me. I should be the one thanking you.
They finally managed to hammer out a deal.
David contacted Princess Astrid first and told him that his chamber of commerce would like to purchase some military supplies that could not be bought on the market.
Astrid promised to help without a second thought.
David’s matters were a big deal to her.
As the emperor’s favorite princess in the Milky Way Empire, even though she usually did not interfere in these matters, she only had to give her instructions and every department in the empire would have to listen to her and get it done.
After David received Astrid’s reply.
He contacted the Concord family and deposited 5 trillion Galaxy dollars. He asked them to follow his instructions and purchase everything they could get in the empire and deliver them to Planet Buck. Also, he told them that he had already used his connections, and sent Planet Buck’s location to them too.
The deal with the Stone of Life had been closed.
David could not wait to open the system.
[Host: David Lidell
[Balance: 9986235865122334 Galaxy Dollars [Body: Infinity level 10 (+)
[Mind: Infinity level 10 (+)
[Combat: Partial Ruler Rank
[Combat Skills: Void Punch (Perfection), Air Crushing Slap ( Perfection), Evil–Splitting Sword Technique (Perfection)
[Skills: Ancient Traditional Medicine (Perfection)
[Lavish Points: 90052]
Sure enough, fifty thousand lavish points had been added.
Besides, the East League Chamber of Commerce had been making a move, and he spent some money on it.
His lavish points that he accumulated had reached more than ninety thousand.
David only needed ten thousand lavish points to up his rank and reach the legendary Eternal Realm.
David looked at the numbers in the system. He could not help but curl his lips and smile!
Chapter 1199
His work at Planet Buck had already finished.
David initially showed sympathy for Balu, and that was why he accompanied Balu here.
He did not expect to gain a lot from this trip.
Not only did he gain a treasure, the Stone of Life, he even gained fifty thousand lavish points.
He made a big step in leveling up to the next rank.
He believed it would not take long for him before he truly became invincible in the Milky Way.
The next morning, David, Mia, and Balu left Planet Buck with a few million Buckeranians watching them and paying their
respects.
The state banquet would be held in three months.
It would be too early for them to go back there now.
David went through the information the time traveler, the old David, had left in his mind.
He found an indigenous planet that was not far away from them. Based on how fast the Galaxy Warship could move, it would only take them half a month to arrive. He wondered if the people there had planted the slave marks. In any case, he should head there first.
The Galaxy Warship faced a direction and headed there at full speed.
The Royal Region slowly began to get back on track after the empire’s announcement.
It was believed that no Sangruil Sinners would dare to show up with troops of the empire’s army and the four great halls of the empire patrolling there.
At this moment, in an arena on one of the trading planets in the Royal Region.
Two giant beasts were fighting and biting each other crazily.
The audience surrounding them was shouting.
“Kill him!”
“Come on, bite him to death!”
“B*stard! F*cking bite him!”
“Dumb*ss, don’t bite his thigh. Can’t you f*cking hear me?”
“Haven’t you eaten yet? Your bite force is too weak!”
Soon… one of the beasts let out a painful cry and the battle of the beasts came to an end.
“Hahaha… I won! I won! I’m rich!”
“I’m down on my luck for betting on this beast.”
Some of the audience lost, and some of them won.
Everyone placed their bets.
Some of them won happily, and there would certainly be some who lost and were down in the dumps.
A scruffy young man looked at the bet ticket in his hands. He collapsed in a heap on the ground, as though he had lost all his strength.
He mumbled, “It’s over! Everything’s over!”
After a while, two middle–aged men walked toward him.
One of them kicked him and said, “Boy! How is it? Did you win? Pay us back now. Otherwise, we’re going to break your
leg.”
“Look at his face. He must have lost again. Does he have money to pay us back?” Another man smiled and answered him.
“He’s got no money to pay us back? Alright then! Go and fight. We’re square regardless of if you win or lose.”
When the young man heard them asking him to fight, he stood up and shuddered with a terrified expression, “No! I’m not going!”
Were they serious when they asked him to join the gladiator battle?
Was that not courting death?
Even if he got lucky and won the battle, he would be severely injured or disabled.
He could never agree to this.
“You’re not going? Then pay us!”
“I’m broke! I lost all my money,” replied the young man.
“You’re broke? Then why aren’t you joining the battle?
Charte Perhaps we should break your limbs and feed them to the beasts. It’s up to you!” The middle–aged man sneered.
The young man immediately ‘thumped,‘ kneeled on the ground, and begged for mercy, “Please let me go! Please! I promise I’ll pay you as soon as I get the money.”
“Let you go? What did you say when you borrowed the money from us? And now you’re begging us to let you go? Listen, it’s too late! Take him away!”
Chapter 1200
The two men were about to take the young man away.
The young man knew what would happen to him after being taken away. He immediately struggled, trying to escape.
However, how could the two middle–aged men let him get what he wanted?
Each of them grabbed one of his arms, lifted him, and took him away by force.
Not only did the audience around them not stop them, but they also looked like they were gloating at the other’s misfortune. It was none of their business.
“Let me go! Let me go! Let me meet your boss! I have an important piece of information to sell to him. It’s super big news. You’ll regret not taking me to see him. He’ll kill you when he finds out about it,” shouted the young man as he struggled.
The two of them ignored him and continued lifting him and took them away.
“It’s true! It’s true! I swear it’s true this time! Please trust me this time! I’m willing to get hung by the neck if I lied.”
The two men stopped and exchanged glances with each other. Then, they asked, “Really?”
“Yes! Yes! It’s definitely true!” The young man immediately replied.
“Kid, you’d better think about it. If Boss finds out you lied to him, not only will your life turn into a living hell, we’ll get into trouble too. Don’t blame us for getting your family involved in this when the time comes,” One of the men warned him.
“Don’t worry, sir. I won’t disappoint you! Your boss will reward you when he finds out what kind of information I’m giving him,” The young man guaranteed.
Family?
Did he have any family members left now?
They were all gone.
He did not even dare to tell others his name. He was afraid that he would get himself killed.
It was just that even though he lost his home, he could not change his bad habits.
Everything he took from his home back then could have been enough for him to live out the rest of his life.
It was a pity that he spent it all on the battle show, and he even got himself into debt that went up to his eyeballs.
If it was not because there was nothing else he could do this time.
He would have lived in seclusion and not come out forever.
He lived a lavish lifestyle back then.
Now, he was down and out.
He only thought of selling the piece of information he found out about his family. Then, he would find a quiet place to live and not come out forever after he paid the debt.
The young man was brought to the VIP room on top of the Colosseum.
The three of them had just arrived at the door. They heard an indistinct woman’s moan coming out of the room.
“Dong–dong–dong!”
One of the men knocked on the door.
“Who is it?!” An impatient voice came from inside the room.
“Boss! Someone wants to see you. He said he’s got big news to tell you.”
After a while, noises were coming from the VIP room again.
“Come in!”
The three of them pushed the door open and entered the room.
What came into sight was a man holding two beautiful women in his arms, fondling them.
The women’s cheeks were red.
However, the young man looked drained. His face was a little pale. It must have been the consequences of overindulging in lust.
“Boss!”
The two middle–aged men greeted him respectfully.
“Are you the one looking for me?” The man ignored the two of them. He turned to look at the young man and asked.
“Yes!”
“If it’s not as exciting as you said, you’re dead! Say it!”
“My name’s Floyd Tuffin!” said the young man.
“Then? Is this what you called big news?”
“The Tuffin family, one of the eight prominent families of the Milky Way Empire!” The young man continued.
“F*ck! Don’t tell me you’re from one of the eight prominent families, the Tuffin family.”
“You’re right! I’m one of them,” The young man said in a serious tone.
