Ch. 1741..1750
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1741--To stop Archimedes from acting on his rage and causing things to escalate to an uncontrollable stage. Bernard contemplated for a very long time before deciding to take Archimedes away.
about:blank
The price of the Hammer of Thunder was 10 times more than its original value. If Master Achi called out another price, it would only continue to rise.
This premium was unreasonable
about:blank
Even if Master Archi won and bought it, he would still become the laughing stock of the outside world.
Everyone would talk about him whenever they were gossiping, “Was Archimedes dropped on his head when he was born? He bought a mid-level Soulbound Weapon for 10 times its price just because he wanted to win? He’s the embodiment of having only money and no brains.
The most important thing was that they simply could not take out so much money now. When that happened, they would need the family to clean up their mess
After weighing the pros and cons, Bernard figured he could not sit idly by.
Since he could not talk Archimedes out of this, he should just knock him out and take him away!
He believed that Archimedes would thank him when he woke up.
If he decided to get another protector after this, Bernard would not be disappointed. Instead, he would feel glad
This was because he would get into trouble sooner or later if he continued to follow a master who was ruled by his emotions
It would be better to get himself out of this as soon as possible.
Bernard believed that the family would not make things hard for him since he was a late Sovereign Ranker.
Moreover, he was doing this for the sake of Master Archi and also the family’s reputation.
Archimedes was knocked out by his protector, so this meant the crazy bidding was finally coming to a stop.
David glared at Bernard, feeling p*ssed on the inside
He thought he could get more lavish points.
about:blank
After being triggered by what he said, Archimedes was about to name another price.
However, the old late Sovereign Ranker beside him stopped him in time.
At the same time, David wondered, ‘Isn’t Archimedes the eldest son and also the first-in-line heir?
“How dare a protector that was tasked to protect him knock him out?
“Miss Fellowes, Master Archi was a little triggered today, so he lost control of his emotions. I’m sorry! I’M leave with him first. Don’t worry. We’ll pay for the things we bid on just now according to the final price
After Bernard said that, he left with Archimedes before Alba could say anything.
This farce finally ended.
Even though David was not happy, the result today far exceeded his expectations.
His goal was 13000 lavish points so that he could break through to partial Saint Realm.
In the end, he got 113000 lavish pints. He could even break through to Saint Realm now.
Humans could not be too greedy. Enough was as good as a feast.
David was very happy to be able to get into Saint Realm in just one step.
After Archimedes left, David said, “Miss Fellowes, since Archimedes has left, no one will bid against me anymore, right? Should you announce the winner of the Hammer of Thunder now?”
Alba came back to her senses after hearing that.
She had seen scenes of people bidding against each other like David and Archimedes before
Moreover, it always happened.
When two opposing forces met in an auction, they would want to suppress the other party and win. This was very normal.
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1742--However, it was normally never as intense as the one today.
about:blank
They increased the price by 200 billion, 300 billion, and even 500 billion. In the end, it directly increased by
1 trillion.
about:blank
Alba had hosted and attended a lot of auctions, but she had never seen this before
She had never even heard of it.
This was too exaggerated!
That was real money!
As the third young mistress of Treasure Trove, Alba could only use a few trillion Star Dollars. She would not be allowed to use more than that.
However, David spent 11 trillion.
Perhaps only a disciple of a Sacred Saint had the power to do that.
“Are you sure you want to spend 11 trillion on the Hammer of Thunder, Master David?” Alba asked.
“Of course! Miss Fellowes, even though the price of the hammer was raised so high because of my fight. with Archimedes, so many people are watching and I value my prestige. I will pay the final price of 11 trillion Star Dollars, and not a penny less,” David states righteously.
“But ”
“No buts. Miss Fellowes, even though we’re friends in private, this is business. You are the host of the
auction while I’m a bidder.”
“Fine. Since you said that, there’s nothing more I can say. Is there anyone who wants to bid? Master David bid on the Hammer of Thunder, a mid-level Soulbound Weapon, for 11 trillion Star Dollars. If there’s no
one else, I will announce that this hammer is sold to Master David at 11 trillion Star Dollars.” Alba looked
at the other people in the room.
The scene was silent
Only a fool would bid.
It was not worth buying a mid-level Soulbound Weapon for 11 trillion Star Dollars. Not even if it was
custom-made.
The premium was too high.
Only rich kids like David and Archimedes would raise the price so high.
about:blank
“If there’s no one, I will make the announcement.
“Hammer of Thunder, a mid-level Soulbound Weapon
“11 trillion going once!
*11 trillion going twice!
“11 trillion going thricel
“Sold!”
After Alba announced that, the scene went into an uproar.
“Damn! I didn’t come to this auction in vain. I watched Archimedes, the first in-line of the Lightfoot family. get destroyed by someone else with money. What a miracle!”
“Right? Everyone in the Central Sacred Continent knows about the Lightfoot family’s wealth. They’re the owner of Splendor! Master David is so amazing. He’s my idol”
“He spent 11 trillion Star Dollars for a mid-level Soulbound Weapon. All hail Master David!”
Cheers erupted from the scene.
Even though they were saying how amazing, bad’ss, and domineering David was, they were all mocking
David in their hearts.
This kid is just a spendthrift.
Will his master slap him to death after he finds out?
David did not care if they were just praising him on the surface and mocking him on the inside.
He only cared about one thing, and that was completing this transaction with Treasure Trove as soon as possible
As long as he got 113000 lavish points, David would be a Saint.
He would be a real Saint, not a partial Saint, which was David’s original goal
The difference between the two was huge.
Saint Realm was also the realm countless people dreamed of.
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1743--“Everyone, settle down. Even though Master David bought the Hammer of Thunder, the auction is not
about:blank
over yet. Now, let’s continue bidding on other treasures. I promise they are all on the same level as the Hammer of Thunder,” Alba said loudly.
The scene plunged into silence again.
about:blank
After they finished watching the drama between Archimedes and David, they should focus on their own business
Without those two rich men, the auction could go back to normal now.
Soon, another treasure was wheeled on stage.
David had lost all of his interest at this moment
Therefore, he got up quietly to leave.
However, the moment he got out of the venue, a staff member from Treasure Trove stopped him.
I’m sorry, Master David, please return to your seat. You can’t leave before the auction is over.”
Then why can Archimedes leave?” David asked.
He only left after paying for the treasures he bid on.
“Well, let’s calculate the total amount for all of my treasure. It’s not like I’m not going to pay.” David said.
He came here to pay.
Did these people think he was running away?
What a joke!
He wasted so much effort spending so much money to get so many lavish points so he could become a Saint
Wouldn’t he have to start over if he ran away now?
“Alright, please come with me.”
David followed the other party backstage to pay
However, when he was on the way, a voice said in the staff’s ear.
“Bring David to me.”
The person who spoke was Valerio, the head of Treasure Trove’s headquarters.
After getting the order, the staff did not dare to waste any time.
Thus, the staff took David to another destination. They reached the door of a room after they walked a
little more.
Knock knock knock!
about:blank
The staff knocked on the door and said respectfully. “Mr. Valerio, Master David is here.”
Then, a voice spoke from inside the room.
“Let him in.”
“Yes, Sir”
The staff opened the door after saying that. Then, the staff said to David after making a gesture, “Master David, the head of Treasure Trove is asking for you.”
David was curious.
‘Wasn’t I going to pay?
“Why am I going to see the head of Treasure Trove?
Is it because the amount is too big so that’s why the head needs to handle it himself?
“It’s just 11 trillion Star Dollars. It’s not that much, right?
David walked into the room.
An old man with white hair and ruddy complexion was drinking tea while sitting in the room. It was the partial Saint who spoke on stage before the auction started.
When he saw David, the old man smiled and said, “David, sit down. I’m Valerio Fellowes, the head of
Treasure Trove.”
“You’re too courteous, Mr. Valerio,” David replied and sat down without holding himself back.
Valerio was just a partial Saint
Back then, David might be vigilant when he was facing a powerhouse like this.
However, he did not need to anymore because he would soon be a Saint
“David, you’re so young and promising. You managed to suppress Archimedes at such a young age. You have to know that he’s the first-in-line heir of the Lightfoot family and his family controls Splendor, one of the top five trading companies. They surpass our family in all aspects,” Valerio lamented.
“Mr. Valerio, you don’t have to say those things to me. Everyone is praising me on the surface, but they might be calling me a spendthrift in their hearts!” David mocked himself
“You don’t have to pay attention to them, David. They’re short-sighted, so how will they know how outstanding you are?”
At this moment, Valerio was not thinking about how much money David spent after that fight with
Archimedes.
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1744--Instead, he was wondering what grievances the two of them had.
about:blank
Bernard was Archimedes’ protector, so they two were always together
Moreover, he was also a late Sovereign Ranker.
about:blank
David could leave unscathed after offending Archimedes, so there might be something going on behind
this
Valerio had been paying attention to David ever since he entered the room.
However, the result surprised him.
He could not see through David at all.
David seemed to have a layer of mist surrounding him, and it was covering him tightly, preventing anyone from looking into him.
Since he dared to go head-on with a Lightfoot family member, he was not a simple young man.
“You speak too highly of me, Mr. Valerio. I don’t deserve such praise. May I know why you asked me to come here? I should have completed the transaction with Treasure Trove first,” David said.
He was not in the mood to chat with Valerio.
Wouldn’t it be better to complete the transaction, get the lavish points, and progress to Saint Realm?
“Calm down. Let’s have a chat They will bring over the treasures you bid on in a while. You can just finish the transaction here.”
“Well, alright! Since you want to chat, I’ll chat with you.”
David could not say anything more
He only hoped they would send the treasures over so he could complete the transaction soon.
David would not be free from anxiety until he got the lavish points.
It was like not getting paid after finishing a sale.
“David, may I know how you know Alba? Can you tell me?” Valerio asked.
He instinctively thought David might be the person Alba mentioned who could help the Fellowes family out of their current predicament.
As for how, Valerio did not know, so he needed to understand.
about:blank
To be honest, when Valerio was making his speech before the auction, David could tell he had a special relationship with Alba.
Both were surnamed Fellowes.
One was the head of Treasure Trove while the other one was the third young mistress of Treasure Trove.
Therefore, even fools could tell they had an extraordinary relationship.
They might even be relatives.
Since Valerio asked, David briefly told him about how he met Alba
He told Valerio everything that he could, but at the same time, he also never spoke a word of what he
should not, for example, their cooperation.
Valerio also knew it was impossible to find out anything from David, so he did not continue prodding.
He soon changed the topic.
“David, you’re not from the Central Sacred Continent, right?” Valerio asked.
“No. I just got here I heard this is the most prosperous place in Star Kingdom, so I came to experience it myself,” David answered
“I see! I was wondering why I never heard about you in the Central Sacred Continent before. You must know that there aren’t a lot of young people who can take out more than ten trillion Star Dollars in one go.”
“My master gave me the money I trained with him back then and I was only recently let out.” David contemplated for a while and decided to mention his master.
Valerio was obviously an important core of the Fellowes family
If David wanted the crazy plan in his heart to work, he needed help from someone like him.
“Oh? Who’s your master?” Valerio’s interest was piqued
I’m sorry, Mr. Valerio. My teacher doesn’t allow me to mention his name.”
“1 see! Where do you live then?”
David shook his head and said apologetically. “I can’t say either.
I’m sorry
1 can’t disobey my master’s orders. I hope you understand, Mr. Valerio.”
about:blank
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1745--David and Valerio were chatting.
about:blank
It seemed like they were chatting, but in reality, Valerio was asking David all kinds of questions.
With David’s intelligence, he naturally knew that Valerio was indirectly probing about his identity.
about:blank
Therefore, he repeatedly mentioned that he had an amazing master.
He said he had always trained with his master and was only recently let out.
As for the other points, apologies, but David would only answer perfunctorily
Valerio also realized he would not get the answer he wanted by asking like this. Therefore, he changed. the way he asked and started chatting about domestic trivia with David.
Of course, David was not stupid.
With the increase of his mind power, his IQ and wits also increased.
No matter what Fellowes said or asked, David’s answer would be invulnerable, not exposing even the slightest bit of information about himself.
David would only let Valerio know the things he wanted him to know
As time went by, David started to get impatient.
His 110000 lavish points were right in front of him. As long as they completed the transaction, he could become a Saint once he got them.
However, he was stuck here chatting with Valerio.
This was torturous.
As David was thinking of a way to escape
Knock knock knock!
Someone knocked on the door.
David was overjoyed.
“Are the treasures here?
about:blank
‘Can I complete the transaction now?
David was ecstatic as he thought about that.
However, Valerio frowned and asked, “Who is it?”
He had ordered everyone in advance that no one was allowed to interrupt him without his permission.
Who was so bold to ignore his orders?
Then, a clear voice said from outside the door, “Grandpa Val, it’s me.”
Valerio’s anger in his heart dropped in half when he heard that voice.
“Alba! Come in!” Valerio said.
Alba pushed the door open and entered the room. Then, she spotted David and Grandpa Val
The auction was over.
When she was looking for David, she heard that Grandpa Val had taken David away.
Thus, she rushed over frantically.
She was worried that David would start an argument with Grandpa Val. David was the person that could
help her family out of their predicament, so they could not offend him.
As David looked at Alba’s empty hands, his heart sank.
She did not bring the treasures.
He got excited about nothing.
“Grandpa Vall Master David!” Alba called out.
“Hello, Miss Fellowes,” David said politely
“Alba, sit down. I’m talking to David,” Valerio said with a smile.
It did not seem like there were any disagreements between the two men.
about:blank
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1746--Alba let out a sigh of relief on the inside.
about:blank
She turned to close the door and then sat down next to the two.
“Grandpa Val, Master David, what are you talking about?” Alba was curious
about:blank
“It’s nothing. Mr. Valerio asked me here to talk about some domestic trivia. Right, Miss Fellowes, is the auction over After David answered the question, he asked again.
“Yes, it’s over. The bidding process for the final few items went smoothly and it was not as exciting as your bidding against Archimedes. Master David, you’ve started something new. You’ll be written into the history of auctions.”
“Stop mocking me, Miss Fellowes. I know what I’ve done. I think everyone is mocking me now. However, Archimedes is still too weak to climb over my head, I can’t stand him considering himself the top dog in the world.”
“Don’t misunderstand, Master David, I’m not trying to mock you,” Alba quickly explained.
“It’s fine. I never care about what people think of me. It’s none of my business what other people think or say about me. I just need to do my own thing.” David said indifferently
“You have such a good attitude, David. No wonder you have such great achievements at such a young age,” Valerio praised.
Judging from how Alba treated David, Valerio was almost sure that this young man was related to the opportunity Alba mentioned.
Moreover, David was so calm after offending Archimedes. He was not worried about the Lightfoot family seeking revenge against him and even a partial Saint like Valerio could not see through him,
Valerio was sure that David was not a simple person.
“Who’s his master?
‘Could it be
“Mr. Valerio, Miss Fellowes, the auction is over, so can we complete the transaction?” David asked expectantly.
“Since you’ve said that, you must be impatient to see your treasures. Please wait, I’ll ask the staff to send you your treasures now,” Valerio said.
Thank you, Mr. Valerio. Even though I bid on the Hammer of Thunder because I was fighting Archimedes, I do like that mid-level Soulbound Weapon a lot. It’s not easy to come across something I like. You can’t get something like that no matter how much you pay for it. To be honest, the Hammer of Thunder is more important than a high-level Soulbound Weapon”
about:blank
“I never expected you to be so temperamental and bold to pay such a high price for something you like. To be honest, I wouldn’t even dare to be as wilful as you as the head of Treasure Trove.”
After Valerio gave out the order, the staff of Treasure Trove brought the four treasures David bid into the room not long after.
David did not pay attention to what the previous three items were. He only figured that the price was right, and that the price was much higher than what was sold in the first phase, so he bid on them.
The three items cost 298 billion, so each of them was less than 100 billion on average.
The price of the fourth item, the Hammer of Thunder, skyrocketed to 11 trillion Star Dollars.
The four items totaled 11 trillion 298 billion.
The four items were laid on the table inside the room.
“David, please check if these are the treasures you had bid on,” Valerio looked at David and asked.
“I don’t need to, Mr. Valerio Treasure Trove is one of the top five trading companies, so I believe your won’t do anything to ruin your reputation. Plus, I’m friends with Miss Fellowes. Even if I don’t trust you, I trust her to not lie to me,” David said excitedly.
He was finally going to get the lavish points.
He could taste Saint Realm and David was ecstatic.
Valerio saw his expression and was confused.
Why is he so excited about a mid-level Soulbound Weapon with his identity?
‘Even if he likes the Hammer of Thunder, he doesn’t need to be so excited, right?”
However, Valerio did not perform an in-depth investigation.
“If that’s the case, let’s complete the transaction. David, please transfer the money to Treasure Trove’s public account. After you’re done, they’re yours.”
“Okay,” David answered quickly
He used the system to transfer 11 trillion 298 billion Star Dollars to Treasure Trove’s public account.
The transaction was completed in a blink of an eye
“You’re such a straightforward person, David. They are now yours,” Valerio said with a grin.
Even though he knew David would not bid for fun, Valerio could not help lamenting when he saw the money arriving in the account.
‘This kid is so f*cking loaded.
Judging from his performance, he definitely has more than 11 trillion.”
about:blank
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1747--After the transaction, David took his four treasures and bid farewell to Alba and Valerio.
He did not have time to check his system, so he did not know if he had gotten the lavish points.
If the Hammer of Thunder was worth more than 11 trillion Star Dollars, he would surely get all of the lavish points.
However, if it was not, then he would only get the lavish points equivalent to its true price.
This was crucial to David.
This would determine if he would be in partial Saint Realm or skip realms to go straight to Saint Realm and Pre-Saint Rank.
However, David figured that since the system said the God of Thunder Hammer was one of the top three Ancient Weapons, it must be very valuable.
According to the market price of Star Kingdom, 11 trillion Star Dollars was not enough for a high-level Soulbound Weapon.
Since it was one of the top three Ancient Weapons, the God of Thunder Hammer would surely be worth
more than a high-level Soulbound Weapon even if it was damaged.
Therefore, there was a huge possibility that David would get all of the lavish points.
Alba and Valerio could tell that David was in a hurry, so they did not stop him.
After hurrying back to his room, David closed the door and used his mind power to keep an eye on his surroundings in case someone barged into his room suddenly.
Once he was done, he impatiently opened his system.
[Host: David Lidell
[Balance: 9985701990000000 Star Dollars
[Body: Sovereign level 6 (You may upgrade one level using 1000 lavish points)
[Mind: Sovereign level 1 (You may upgrade using 1000 lavish points)
[Combat: Eternal Realm Mid-Sovereign Ranker
[Combat Skills: Void Punch (Perfection), Air Crushing Slap (Perfection), Evil-Splitting Sword Technique ( Perfection)
[Skills: Ancient Traditional Medicine (Perfection)
[Lavish Points: 113900]
When David saw the balance of his lavish points, a huge surprise shot out from his eyes.
At the same time, he let out a deafening laugh.
“Hahaha!”
After laughing to his heart’s content, he calmed himself down.
Luckily he had blocked out his room with his mind power, if not, the people from Treasure Trove would surely come to check on him after hearing that.
Indeed, just as he expected, the God of Thunder Hammer was worth more than 11 trillion.
Now, he had gotten all of the lavish points, so he could increase his strength.
Now that he was in Star Kingdom, he truly understood the importance of strength.
Even though he already knew that his strength was the foundation when he was on Earth and in the Milky Way, he was very low-profile and had never experienced the crisis of death.
However, Nek gave him an initial show of strength the moment he came to Star Kingdom.
If his mind power was not strong enough, he would have long been turned to ashes.
It was because he experienced the crisis of death before Nek and saw Celeste’s teacher banishing her to the ice cavern that he decided to increase his strength in a short time.
When he was a True Saint, he would go to the Simmons continent to seek revenge against Nek.
After that, he would go on to Sacred Saint Rank, save Celeste from the Iridescent Sect, and take Celia and the others away.
He would need to do those things step by step.
Now, he needed to break through to Saint Realm and become a Pre-Saint.
‘Nek, you scoundrel, prepare yourself for me at the Simmons Continent. Soon, I will let you know how it feels to have someone control your fate,’ David thought to himself.
Nek was a knot in David’s heart.
Back then, he never experienced the fear of being killed at any time.
If Nek had not insisted on crushing David’s skull back then, David would not have lived until now.
His mind power could only protect his head but not his entire body.
Now, Nek did would have another chance.
He had lost his best opportunity to kill David.
‘I wonder if Nek the scoundrel will regret not killing me when I show up at the Simmons Continent. ‘Perhaps I was just an ant to him at that time.’
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1748--Nek might have thought he could crush David easily.
The next time they met, David would swap the roles so that Nek would know what it was like to be an ant.
“Hah… Huff… Hah… Huff…”
After taking a few deep breaths, David closed his eyes to try to recompose his body to its best state.
A few minutes later, David opened his eyes.
Then, he opened his system panel and clicked on increasing his Body.
A window popped up.
[This upgrade would cost 1000 lavish points. After upgrading, the host’s Body will go from Sovereign level 6 to Sovereign level 7. Please confirm.]
There were two options below: Yes and No.
Of course, David chose Yes.
The system shone and David felt a gust of warm air entering his body.
A few seconds later, the system went back to normal.
His Body had changed to Sovereign level 7.
He had also spent 1000 lavish points, so there were only 112900.
Without wasting any time, David continued to upgrade his Body.
Sovereign level 8, Sovereign level 9, Sovereign level 10.
He spent a total of 4000 lavish points.
Finally, David upgraded his body to Sovereign level 10.
His combat power also increased drastically and came to peak Sovereign Rank.
At this moment, David’s strength was on the same level as Nova, the head of the Iridescent Sect.
The two of them were peak Sovereign Rankers.
However, this was not enough!
David’s goal was not peak Sovereign Rank, nor was it partial Saint Realm. He wanted to be a Saint.
Now, it was time to upgrade his mind power.
He upgraded one level at a time, and he needed 1000 lavish points.
Sovereign level 2, Sovereign level 3… Sovereign level 10.
Since David’s mind power was only at Sovereign level 1, he spent 9000 lavish points just to upgrade it to Sovereign level 10.
When he upgraded both his Body and mind power to Sovereign level 10, David had spent a total of 13000 lavish points.
He took a look at the system panel.
[Host: David Lidell
[Balance: 9985701990000000 Star Dollars
[Body: Sovereign level 10 (You may upgrade one level using 100000 lavish points)
[Mind: Sovereign level 10 (You may upgrade using 100000 lavish points)
[Combat: Partial Saint Realm
[Combat Skills: Void Punch (Perfection), Air Crushing Slap (Perfection), Evil-Splitting Sword Technique ( Perfection)
[Skills: Ancient Traditional Medicine (Perfection)
[Lavish Points: 100900]
Since his Body and Mind were both at Sovereign level 10, David’s combat power was at partial Saint Realm.
Right now, he was at the same level as Valerio, the head of Treasure Trove.
With this strength, he was already pretty invincible in Star Kingdom, a level 7 civilization.
In addition to his strong mind power and Evil-Splitting Sword that could cut anything, David would be unbeatable as long as he did not run into a Saint.
He could be regarded as the number one figure below Saint Realm.
However, this was still not enough.
He still had 10000 lavish points, so he could continue to upgrade his Body.
Once he upgraded this, David’s body would change, and it would go from a mortal’s body to a Saint’s body.
The most basic difference was that the mortal body would be threatened by the catastrophe. They would not be able to hide from the Eternal Catastrophe that would happen once every epoch.
However, once he had a Saint’s body, there would be no catastrophe.
If there were no accidents, the Saint’s body would truly live forever.
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1749--Even though David was a partial Saint, this was not enough.
Partial Saint was not his goal.
He had prepared and planned for so long, so he wanted to progress further. He wanted to upgrade his Body again to get to Saint Realm.
He had crossed so many ranks, going from late Sovereign Rank directly to Saint Realm.
If word got out and outsiders found out, this would shock everyone in Star Kingdom, including the Sacred Saints.
This was truly unprecedented.
This might have never happened in the entire universe, let alone Star Kingdom.
Meanwhile, David would surely create an unwritten history.
After calming down, David continued upgrading.
A pop-up window appeared again.
[This upgrade will require 10000 lavish points. After upgrading, the host’s Body will go from Sovereign level 10 to Pre-Saint level 10. The host’s body will also go from a mortal body to a Saint’s body. Hence, it will not be affected by the Eternal Catastrophe to achieve true immortality. Does the host want to confirm this upgrade?]
There were still two options.
Yes and No.
David chose Yes without even thinking about it.
The system disappeared before him.
At the same time, he felt a huge burst of energy rushing into his body.
He was overwhelmed by intense pain that felt as if it would stretch him open.
David gritted his teeth to endure the pain.
He knew he had to endure it so that his body could change successfully.
The process of changing from a mortal body to a Saint’s body was very slow. Every cell of the body had to evolve before it was considered a success.
On the other side, Alba did not leave immediately after David left.
She still had a lot of questions.
“Grandpa Val, why did you ask for David?” Alba asked.
“Why? Can’t I invite him over to have a chat?” Valerio asked with a grin.
“No, but I’m just curious. You don’t know him, do you?”
“I didn’t, but I do now after the chat.”
“What did you talk about?”
“I wanted to know more about his identity and background. However, even though he was young, he was very smart. Aside from learning he has a master, I know nothing else. I think he might have purposely let us know about his master,” Valerio shook his head and said.
David was certainly the smartest young person he had ever met.
It was hard to get any useful information from someone like that.
To put it bluntly, even if Valerio got something from him, it was because David wanted him to know. Even so, he was not sure if what he learned was true.
“So you only talked, right? There weren’t any disagreements or conflicts between you two, right?” Alba asked worriedly.
“Alba, do I look like I lack sense? No matter what, David is a huge client of Treasure Trove, so how could I have any disagreements with him? The company is unstable right now. I might even start worshiping him.”
“Grandpa Val, don’t misunderstand. I didn’t mean that. However, David is not simple. I’m worried there will be some disagreements between you two. It won’t be good even if there is a small disagreement,” Alba quickly explained.
“Of course, I know that. He’s so young and yet he can take out more than 10 trillion Star Dollars without batting an eyelid. He must have a very strong force supporting him. Moreover, I can’t even see through this kid’s strength. There won’t be more than ten young people like this in the entire Star Kingdom, both in the light and the dark. Archimedes is still one level below those guys,” Valerio lamented.
“No way! You can’t see through David? You’re a partial Saint, Grandpa Val!” Alba widened her gorgeous eyes and asked in surprise.
“What’s so surprising about that? Anyone below Saint Realm is an ant, and partial Saints are just slightly stronger ants.”
“B-But David looks so young. How can you not see through him?” Alba was still in disbelief.
“Just because you’re young doesn’t mean you’re weak. Some extremely talented geniuses will break through the realms as easily as eating or drinking. To them, there are no obstacles. Of course, there is another possibility. David might have a hidden treasure, or he knows the concealing technique,” Valerio explained.
“I think it might be the latter,” Alba said affirmatively.
“Oh? How are you so sure?”
“It’s a woman’s intuition.” Alba looked certain.
‘Intuition?’
Valerio smiled and did not say anything.
He was very curious about that young man named David.
He never seen anyone like that in Star Kingdom.
Perhaps David was just as he said. He had always trained with his master and was only recently released.
If not, he would already be popular. He would not be able to hide so well.
For example, what happened at the auction today.
Archimedes and David were fighting and raised a mid-level Soulbound Weapon to 11 trillion, a sky-high price.
This would surely spread across the Central Sacred Continent soon.
Then, it would spread throughout Star Kingdom.
David’s name would enter a lot of people’s ears, and soon, there would be people who dug out his identity and background.
Even if they could not find the real details, there would be a lot of different versions of fake news floating around.
“Alba, I have a question for you,” Valerio asked suddenly.
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1750--“What do you want to know? Please ask me and I will answer honestly,” Alba answered.
“The last time you told me there’s a chance to solve the family’s predicament and help us get out of the Palmore family’s control. Is this related to David?”
After Valerio asked that, his eyes were fixed on Alba.
When Alba heard this question, she froze. She could not come back to her senses after a long time to answer the question.
Valerio’s question was too sudden.
She never expected that Grandpa Val would guess that David was related to what she told him last time just from this short conversation.
These old men had lived for so long, so none of them were simple.
After coming back to her senses, Alba knew she could not hide anymore.
Since Grandpa Val asked her that, he should have a reason for doing so.
Besides, it might not be a bad thing even if he found out.
As long as they had his help, the time it would take for East League Trading Company to rise would shorten. She could also quickly accomplish her cooperation with David.
“Yes, Grandpa Val, David is the opportunity I previously mentioned,” Alba answered honestly.
Valerio was not shocked by this result. Instead, he expected it.
“Oh? Tell me, how can he fight the Palmore family? Even though he’s not weak in terms of identity and background, Alba, you must know that the Pamore family is one of the six top forces in Star Kingdom with Sacred Saints. You can even say they are at the top of Star Kingdom’s pyramid. No one can shake their position.”
