Ch. 1761..1770
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1761--With Alba’s IQ, she naturally knew something had happened between David and Grandpa Val, but she could not understand it.
If not, why would Grandpa Val suddenly change his tone when speaking with David?
He used to call David by name, but now he was calling him Master David. Clearly, he was respecting David from the bottom of his heart.
It should have happened when David released his energy that was laced with murderous intention when he was talking about Archimedes.
‘Is David not just a mid- or late Sovereign Ranker? Is he at a level that is shocking even to Grandpa Val?
‘What could that be?
‘Peak Sovereign Rank?
‘Partial Saint Realm?
‘No way!
‘How old is David?
“How can he be a partial Saint?
‘But if he’s not, Grandpa Val wouldn’t be so shocked.
“I should ask Grandpa Val after we leave.”
Alba thought to herself.
She was indeed a beautiful woman with talent.
She could point out where the problem was after a little analysis, and she was often 80 to 90% correct.
However, Alba was too conservative.
Even if David was a partial Saint, it would be impossible for Valerio, the head of Treasure Trove with countless knowledge and experiences, to look so shocked.
There were young people in Star Kingdom who were already partial Saints, and there was more than one
of them.
Moreover, they were only a few years older than David.
However, there was not one Saint in the entire history of Star Kingdom that was as young as David.
This was what shocked Valerio.
David had created history in Star Kingdom. At the same time, he challenged Valerio’s knowledge about the word ‘talent”.
He did not know what David went through to get to where he was today.
However, he knew that he could not be David’s enemy.
“Master David, we still have something to take care of, so we’ll not disturb your rest. You can contact Alba if you need anything. She’ll help you make all the arrangements.” Valerio put his hands together and got ready to leave.
He was in a hurry to go back to the family so he could tell the core seniors and grandmasters about David.
One could say that David’s appearance had given a glimpse of hope to the Fellowes family who had already fallen into despair.
They had to seize this chance regardless of if they succeeded or not.
If not, they could only wait for their demise.
“Alright, goodbye, Mr. Valerio, Miss Fellowes. I won’t keep you here then,” David said.
He had gotten more benefits than he could imagine today.
He also needed some time to sort this out.
Not only was he a Saint now, he even got the acknowledgment of Valerio, the head of Treasure Trove.
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1762--From now on, the development of East League Trading Company would be smooth.
David could also be a True Saint soon.
“Bye, Master David!”
“Bye, Master David!”
Alba and Valerio got up and said at the same time.
“Let me send you off”
David got up after he said that as he walked the two to the door.
After he watched the two disappear from his view, he closed the door and went back to sit down, feeling the changes in his body.
After he upgraded from Eternal Realm to Saint Realm, his body would also change into the Saint’s body
From now on, he would not be threatened by the Eternal Catastrophe and would be truly immortal.
Of course, this did not mean Saints would not die.
On the contrary, they just would not die unless exposed to external factors.
If their body and mind were attacked by a strong external force, they would still die.
For example, it would be easy for a Sacred Saint to kill a Pre-Saint.
Furthermore, a Sacred Saint was just the strongest being in a level 7 civilization, not the entire universe
There were still level 8 civilizations, level 9 civilizations, and God Tier Civilizations.
Even though David was at Saint Realm, he could only relax for the time being and not let down his guard completely
On the other side, after leaving David’s place, Valerio said to Alba who was behind him, “Alba, I need to go back to the family for some urgent matters. I’ll leave Master David to you. You will be in charge of him now and you don’t have to care about anything else. You have to satisfy his every demand no matter what. I’ll give you the highest authority in Treasure Trove so make sure you don’t neglect him,
understand?”
“I understand, Grandpa Val,” Alba replied obediently.
“Alba, you’ve done a meritorious deed for the family this time, so the family won’t forget you. However you haven’t completed your mission yet, so you have to stay next to Master David to help him complete his master’s mission. This is crucial, so you can’t mess this up”
“Grandpa Val, what happened just now? Why did your attitude change all of a sudden? Have you confirmed David’s master’s identity?” Alba voiced the doubts in her heart.
“No, but I confirmed another thing.”
“What is it?”
“Alba, what does the strongest younger generation in Star Kingdom look like to you?” Valerio did not answer. Instead, he asked another question.
“It’s Anders and the others, right? Those three are already at partial Saint Realm, right? | heard Anders is preparing to break through partial Saint Realm so that’s why he is now living in seclusion. I don’t know
he’s succeeded. If he has, he’ll be on the same level as you,” Alba answered enviously.
Even if she did not like Anders, she had to admit that he was indeed one of the rare peerless geniuses in Star Kingdom.
He would be ranked even in the tens of thousands of years of history of Star Kingdom.
Alba knew she was miles apart from someone like that.
However, she was also much younger than Anders.
“Since Anders is the strongest younger generation among Star Kingdom to you, why are you still unwilling to marry him? You should know that there are a lot of women in Star Kingdom who want to marry him, and there are also a lot of geniuses among them too,” Valerio asked curiously
“Grandpa Val, I only met him once and I can’t see any emotions from his eyes, so he’s just a machine for cultivation. Interests are the most important thing for people like this. Even if I marry him, he will not spare the family for my sake. When that happens, we’ll be in a dilemma, so it’s better if we think of another solution while I still can I don’t want to see the family that gave birth to me and raised me get destroyed by my man,” Alba answered seriously.
“You’re right. Anders has his current achievements because of his character. It’s not just him, the others are no better than him. These people have something in common. They are all selfish and conceited, and they won’t change their minds for anyone,” Valerio nodded and agreed.
“Thus, I’ve been thinking of ways to escape Anders for the past few years. I want to cancel our marriage contract, but I have to help the family escape from the Palmore family’s control before I can do that. I’ve never found a chance until now. I finally saw a glimpse of hope after I met Master David.”
“You did the right thing, Alba. David will be our family’s last chance so you must treat him well. Don’t let him form any dissatisfaction toward us,” Valerio said solemnly.
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1763--” know, but I’m still curious. Grandpa Val, what did you confirm that makes you believe that Master David will be the person to changes our family’s fate?”
Valerio did not answer her question. Instead, he asked, “Alba, what do you think of David compared to Anders and the others?”
Alba was stunned. She never expected Grandpa Val to ask her that.
It seemed inappropriate to compare Master David with Anders and the others.
After all, David appeared much younger.
If he was a mid- or late Sovereign Ranker, he would already be a genius among geniuses.
“Grandpa Val, Master David seems weaker than Anders and the others on the surface, but he’s actually much younger. When he’s their age, I am sure he won’t be inferior to them.”
“Are you so sure that Master David can surpass Anders?” Valerio stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Alba. He was asking her with a half-smile.
Alba felt uneasy after Valerio looked at her like that. However, she still answered affirmatively, “Yeah! I am confident in him. He’s only inferior in terms of age. If we give him a little more time, I’m sure he’ll surpass Anders and the others.”
Valerio continued to walk forward. As he continued, he shook his head and said, “Alba, you might be wrong this time.”
“Are you not confident in him? Then, why do you trust him so much?” Alba asked in confusion.
“It’s not that I’m not confident in him, but on the contrary. He’s not on the same level as Anders and the
others.”
“Impossible! Master David is much younger than them, so how can you be sure he’s not on the same level as them? When David gets to Anders’ age, he will surely surpass him!” Alba retorted.
“Hehe, Alba. You might have misunderstood me. I didn’t mean that David is worse than Anders, I meant that Anders is inferior to David even if he and all the other geniuses were to combine,” Valerio said with a
grin.
‘Anders and the other geniuses are inferior to Master David?”
Alva was confused.
‘What does that mean?
‘Has David surpassed Anders?
‘Impossible!”
“Oh, Grandpa Val! What’s going on? Stop teasing me, okay? I’m so anxious now,” Alba said, feeling flustered.
“Alright, alright, I’ll stop teasing you. However, you can’t tell anyone what I tell you today. Once other people find out, our family will have a lot more competitors.”
“I got it, Grandpa Val. Tell me!” Alba urged.
“Alba, you’re still too weak so you don’t know what the energy David released just now meant.”
“What does it mean? Has he surpassed Anders and reached partial Saint Realm?” Alba widened her
12
beautiful eyes and asked in shock.
She had this thought in her head just now but did not dare to believe it.
“If Master David is a partial Saint, doesn’t it mean he’s much more talented than Anders and the others based on his age?”
“No… Master David just released the purest Saint Power and it’s much purer than a partial Saint’s. This means that he’s already a Saint and is not just a partial Saint,” Valerio lamented.
‘What?
‘Master David is a Saint?
‘He’s not a mid- or late Sovereign Ranker as I thought, nor is he a peak Sovereign Ranker or partial Saint,
but a real Saint!”
Alba was stunned.
She even forgot to walk as she froze on her spot.
Valerio also stopped walking. He knew Alba needed some time to come to terms with this.
He was also very shocked just now, let alone Alba.
Who would expect a young man to be a Saint?
Even the grandmasters might be beyond shocked after they found out!
A Saint was already the strongest person in Star Kingdom.
The forces with Saints were usually overlords in Star Kingdom.
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1764--The most important factor was how David’s age.
Among the known Saints in Star Kingdom, the youngest seemed to be from the Simmons family and he was about tens of thousands of years old.
If word about this got out, the entire Star Kingdom would shake.
At this moment, Alba had forgotten how to think.
She was thinking about the past.
She had been with a Saint the whole time starting from their first encounter and then getting all the way here, but she had no idea.
No wonder David dared to attack and kill Cornelius, the second-in-line heir of the Lightfoot family, without
hesitation.
Now, he was also unbothered after he offended Archimedes, the first-in-line heir.
Since he was a Saint, the Lightfoot family might not dare to do anything to him.
After all, the Saints Association stated that Saints could not start battles for no reason.
‘If David is already a Saint, how strong will his master be?
‘Is he a late Sacred Saint or peak Sacred Saint?
‘Master David is already so powerful and has such a terrifying background. Why would he be scared of the Lightfoot family?”
‘Right!’
Alba suddenly remembered.
She used to call David by his name when she had just met him.
Now, she felt scared just thinking about it.
This was disrespectful to a Saint
Thankfully, David was not petty.
If not, he would have to get another partner.
Since he was a Saint, it would be easy for him to find a partner.
Who could have imagined that David was on the same level as her grandmaster at such a young age?
“How is it? Have you come back to your senses? If you have, let’s go I have to go back to the family and tell this to the grandmasters,” Valerio asked when he noticed that he did not have much time left.
“G-Grandpa Val, you’re not joking, right?” Alba asked in disbelief.
“Alba, this is so serious. Do you think I would joke around? David is a Saint and I can tell from the Saint Power he exuded that it can’t be fake.”
“So you’re saying Master David is now comparable to the grandmasters? And he’s surpassed Anders and the others?”
“I don’t know if he’s comparable to the grandmasters. After all, I’m not a Saint so I don’t know the difference between them. However, Anders and the others are not even qualified to be compared with
Master David. Although they are older, they are much weaker. Even though they are partial Saints, it would take them thousands of years to break through to Saint Realm. With Master David’s talent, he might be in another unknown realm after that time.”
“Is he that powerful?” Alba murmured.
“He’s not only powerful, but he’s also…”
Valerio could not find the word to describe David for the time being.
“Grandpa Val, I know what you mean. I don’t think I can find another Saint so young in the history of Star Kingdom.”
“Therefore, Alba, you have a very important task right now. Since Master David only allows you to help him, you have to do it well. This is directly related to whether we can rely on David’s master to escape the Palmore family’s control.”
“I understand!”
The two continued to walk forward.
When they were inside the study, Valerio called over the other people in charge of Treasure Trove and asked them to work with Alba in the future. They should all attach the highest level of importance to Alba. Then, Valerio tore the space apart and went back to the Fellowes residence as fast as he could.
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1765--David did not stay long in the room.
After he got used to his new strength, he left the room and walked out of Treasure Trove.
Since Valerio said Archimedes and his protector were waiting for him outside with a lot of people, how
would David let them down?
Since David did not want to start a conflict with the Lightfoot family but Archimedes insisted on pursuing
this, Archimedes could not blame David.
He had already killed Cornelius and their feud would not end until one side died, so it would be fine if he killed Archimedes too.
Coincidentally, David wanted to try out a Saint’s strength.
After he came out of Treasure Trove’s headquarters, David chose a direction and jumped. Immediately, he turned into a flash of light and shot out.
This was a very lively area, so there were a lot of people. David did not plan to kill Archimedes and his people in one go, instead, he wanted to try out his new strength. Therefore, it would not be good if he accidentally hurt other innocent people.
Hence, he decided to lead the Lightfoot family members away to a secluded place to try out his strength.
If Archimedes dared to follow him with his people, then David would get rid of all of them at once.
Indeed, not long after David left, countless light flashes followed behind him.
The ones at the front were Archimedes and his protector, Bernard. At the same time, there was also the head of one of the Splendor branches.
That head was also a late Sovereign Ranker like Bernard.
Since Archimedes was the first-in-line heir of the Lightfoot family, all of the heads of branches in the Central Sacred Continent would have to respectfully call him Master Archi, except for the head of Splendor himself.
As for the people behind them, they were the powerhouses stationed at Splendor in the super-large trade zone at West End as well as the powerhouse the Lightfoot family sent this time to help Archimedes investigate Cornelius’ death.
They were not weak at all.
Aside from the 2 late Sovereign Rankers, there were 7 to 8 mid-Sovereign Rankers and also more than 10 beginner Sovereign Rankers.
There were more than 20 Sovereign Rankers altogether.
At the same time, there were also more than 10 Immortal Rankers here.
Even though there were no peak Sovereign Rankers, the strength of these people could annihilate more than 80% of the medium and small forces in Star Kingdom.
All of the Lightfoot family’s elites in West End had been deployed to take down David in one go.
Countless lights flashed across the sky like shooting stars. They attracted the attention of a lot of people, but no one dared to go and join in the drama.
These people did not look like they came in peace.
A lot of people got killed in Star Kingdom because they did not mind their business.
Eventually, people did not dare to be so wilful so anymore.
They would only go over to join in the drama if they were very confident in their strength.
David sped forward.
After an hour, he finally came to an area with towering mountains and precipitous ridges.
There was no one around them except for steep mountains and huge trees.
At the same time, he could even hear the roars of different wild beasts.
David figured this was a good place to be the Lightfoot family’s graves. Thus, he stopped at the top of a tree on a mountain to wait for Archimedes and the others to arrive.
A gigantic python that was about ten meters long was resting under this tree.
David could also feel the beast under his feet.
Its scales were silvery-white and there were two bumps on its head.
This python looked as if it was turning into a dragon.
However, David did not pay much attention to it.
This python had not even turned into a dragon, but so what if it did?
David was a Saint, so even a real dragon would have to bow its head to him obediently.
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1766--The python opened its eyes which were as big as basins before it lifted its head to stare at David. It stuck out its tongue that was emitting a chill.
“Hiss…”
Since David was hiding his strength, the python did not know how strong the person in front of it was.
Time passed second by second.
Suddenly, the python attacked.
Humans were its favourtie food.
Since this human dared to barge into its territory, he must be here to be its food.
The python approached David with its bloody mouth wide open. It wanted to swallow David and then continue its slumber.
However, when its mouth was about 5 meters away from David, the python felt as if it had run into an unshakable mountain.
Thud!
The huge shock caused the python to bounce back. Then, it went limp on the top of the mountain.
The python had a look of terror in its eyes.
It was enlightened and it knew it could not afford to provoke this human.
After it looked at David, it quickly turned to flee down the mountain after making sure it was safe. The places it slithered past were immediately thrust into chaos.
David never looked at the python this entire time, nor did he kill it.
All living things had souls and they all had a reason for being alive.
It was not easy for the python to grow to the stage where it would soon turn into a dragon. Plus, it did not hurt David, so David did not want to ruin the ecological balance here.
This was just a small interlude.
Not long after David started perching on top of the tree at the peak of the mountain, Archimedes arrived with more than 20 Sovereign Rankers and more than 10 Immortal Rankers.
When they saw David on the top of a mountain, they came not far behind David.
“David, this place is not bad. It has a nice view too, so it’s ideal to be your grave. Since this is the place you chose, you should be buried here. Don’t worry, I will find out the force behind you after you die and then uproot them. Soon, your family will be here to meet you,” Archimedes spat through gritted teeth as he looked at David’s back.
David had already become a knot in Archimedes’ heart since he first scared him into wetting his pants at the tavern and used money to trample on his dignity as the first-in-line heir at the auction.
Archimedes would not rest if he did not kill David.
Archimedes had already forgotten that he was in West End because his family sent him to investigate Cornelius’ death.
“What’s that trash’s death got to do with me?
He wanted David to die, and he wanted David to die from torture. After that, he wanted to eliminate David’s bloodline so that he would feel better.
David turned around slowly after he heard Archimedes’ voice.
He went from facing them with his back to facing them head on.
“Archimedes, I didn’t think you’d follow me. To be honest, I am impressed with your courage. Don’t you know I purposely led you here?” David asked with a smile.
“Hahaha! David, do you think I don’t know that? But so what? There’s nothing I don’t dare to do in the Central Sacred Continent. This time, I want you to know how tragic the consequences will be after you offend me. Not only you, but everyone related to you will also die. Go repent for your sins in hell!” Archiemdes guffawed and said.
He was not bothered by what David said at all.
So what if he did this on purpose?
Could he kill all of them?
Even if he wanted to, he needed to have the strength to do so.
The people Archimedes brought today could even fight a peak Sovereign Ranker, let alone a punk like
David.
Archimedes found out David’s strength from Bernard.
He was just a mid-Sovereign Ranker, so what could he do in front of so many powerhouses?
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1767--“Archimedes, it’s not good to always be overconfident. It’s better to stay humble. Your family is not the decision–maker of the Central Sacred Continent and you’re not qualified to do that,” David said calmly. “Haha! What a joke! What a hilarious joke! If I can’t be the decision–maker, does it mean you can? The ignorant are indeed fearless. David, do you know what kind of family we are? Do you know us? How dare you talk nonsense here,” Archimedes mocked and laughed maniacally.
It seemed that he was trying to vent all of his dissatisfaction.
David was his prey, and he could not run.
“I don’t! But of course, I have no interest in knowing either.”
“Very good, David. I will soon let you know how strong my family is. Let’s skip the nonsense. Do you want to surrender, or do you want us to take action? You can’t escape today no matter what,” Archimedes pointed at David and said.
He could not wait to take down David.
“I never wanted to run, but I never wanted to surrender either.”
“Do you want to fight back then? Or do you want to buy time and wait for rescue? Listen to me, no one can save you today.”
“Come on then! Let me see what you have to act so arrogant in front of me,” David said casually.
His actions enraged Archimedes a lot.
From Archimedes‘ point of view, David should not have this kind of expression after he chased after him with so many powerhouses. David should kowtow and apologize. Moreover, he should kneel and beg for mercy.
In the end, who would have expected that David would not take him seriously at all?
How would Archimedes accept this?
“David, you asked for this. Attack him! Take him down! I want him to wish he was dead!” Archimedes roared.
Once he said that, the late Sovereign Ranker beside him and the powerhouses behind him charged at David after turning into flashes of light.
Meanwhile, David stood his ground, waiting for them to approach him.
Archimedes was still standing on his ground. He never intended to take action.
He was already scared in the tavern.
That was the first time he had been so close to death.
Archimedes was scared, and he did not dare to approach David. He was worried that once he did, David would kill him.
Who was he?
He was the first–in–line heir of the Lightfoot family, so how could he stoop to the same level as David?
A late Sovereign Ranker was very fast.
In a blink of an eye, Bernard and the other late Sovereign Ranker were in front of David.
The two acted at the same time and they grabbed David on either side.
When they were about to touch David, David disappeared.
He vanished from where he was standing.
The two immediately stopped in their tracks and looked around curiously.
‘What happened?
‘Why is this kid gone?‘
The space around them was not moving, so it meant David did not escape through a space crack.
Even if he wanted to do that, he needed to have a chance to do so.
David could not do that under the eyes of two late Sovereign Rankers.
However, he did disappear.
The powerhouses from behind caught up with them at this moment.
Everyone had curious looks on their faces as they looked for traces of David.
Bernard remembered something and then immediately turned his head to look at Master Archi.
There was only one person there initially, but there were two shadows now.
Bernard’s eyes narrowed.
‘David!‘
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1768--‘Oh no! Master Archi is in danger!‘
Before ma
Before he could think about how David slipped away under his eyes and went to Archimedes, Bernard rushed over to save Archimedes.
At this moment, David said mockingly, “Don’t move! If my hand shakes now, Archimedes will have to say goodbye to the world. Don’t doubt me, I have a hundred ways to kill Archimedes. Of course, if you don’t believe me, you can give it a try.”
Unbeknownst to Archimedes, David was already standing behind him. At the same time, one of his hands was on top of Archimedes‘ head.
Just like how Nek treated him when he was in the Iridescent Sect.
Unfortunately, David had his powerful mind power to protect him, so he could resist Nek’s force, but Archimedes did not.
If David exerted some force, he could smash Archimedes‘ skull and inject Saint Power into his body. No treasures of heaven and earth would be able to save him then.
Archimedes was scared out of his wits.
He did not know when David appeared behind him.
He only noticed David was behind him when David started to speak.
He did not dare to turn his head or move. He also did not dare to speak.
He was scared that David would kill him by mistake.
The threat of death filled his mind.
This was the second time in Archimedes‘ lifetime that he got so close to death, and they were both caused by the same person.
Archimedes felt that David was his nemesis, and he was sent by God to torture him.
Before he met this kid, Archimedes thrived after living for so many yea
Now, he had fallen into David’s hands twice in such a short period.
‘I shouldn’t have come here!‘
Archimedes felt so remorseful.
David’s voice worked.
Bernard was about to take action, but he stopped after hearing that.
The others were also attracted by David’s voice, and they all looked over.
When they saw David holding Master Archi, they widened their eyes and did not breathe too loudly.
Arhcimedes was not the same as Cornelius.
The first–in-line heir and the second–in–line heir were vastly different in many aspects.
If Archimedes died, the Lightfoot family would go through an earthquake.
The entire Central Sacred Continent might even shake from its wrath.
1/2
None of the people here would be able to escape.
“David, calm down! Master Archi is the first–in–line heir of the Lightfoot family. If he dies, the entire family will be alarmed, and it might even alert the Saint Realm grandmasters. If the grandmasters take action, you will be found no matter where you hide. Think about your friends and family. They will all be affected because of you,” Bernard said loudly.
As Archimedes‘ protector, he would also be punished severely by the family if he watched Archimedes die in front of him and did nothing.
They might even make him a burial offering for Archimedes.
“Don’t do anything! Please don’t! We can talk about this. We can talk about this, Sir,” the other late Sovereign Ranker said quickly.
The people Archimedes brought were all worried that Archimedes would die, regardless of if they were Immortal Rankers or Sovereign Rankers.
David ignored those people.
He continued teasing Archimedes behind him, “Archimedes, why are you not speaking? Are you scared? Will you also feel scared too? Didn’t you want me to wish I was dead? You even said you want to uproot the force behind me and annihilate my bloodline, huh?”
“D–Dávid, p–please don’t do anything stupid! Y–You w–won’t benefit from my death. W–Why don’t you let me go and then we’ll go our separate ways, w–what do you think?” Archimedes stammered.
He was already scared out of his wits now that he was facing death.
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1769--“Tsk tsk tsk, what did I say just now? It’s better to stay humble. It’s not good to be too overconfident. You thought you had me wrapped around your finger, but you never realized that to me, you’re just an ant that I could crush at any time,” David shook his hand and continued to mock.
“Yes, yes, yes. You’re right! I should have been humble and not overconfident. I was enlightened this time.
let me go, I will listen to you and will never make the same mistake again,” Archimedes quickly
If you agreed.
His life was in David’s hands, so how would he dare to go against David?
Saving himself was the most important thing now.
As long as he could stay alive, Archimedes would do anything.
He would even kneel and kowtow to apologize to David, let alone agree to everything he said.
This also showed that people with a high status would still need to submit obediently in front of the threat of death.
As the saying went, ‘A living dog is better than a dead lion.‘
One would have nothing once they lost their life.
A lot of people said they were not afraid of death, but how many of them were truly unafraid when they facing death?
“Archimedes, you should be thinking of getting more powerhouses from your family to retaliate against me after you escape this, right?”
After David said that, Archimedes quickly promised, “No! I would never! David, don’t misunderstand. I never wanted to retaliate! If you let me go, I, Archimedes Lightfoot, the first–in–line heir of the Lightfoot family, swear I will never retaliate against you. We will mind our own business from now on.”
“Do you think I will believe you? Archimedes, do you think a promise would stop a selfish person like you? Only fools would believe you!” As David said that, he exerted more strength on his fingers.
As he felt David’s fingers tightening around his head, Archimedes was petrified.
He thought David was about to kill him, so he cried while sobbing, “David, Master David, Lord David, I was wrong. Please let me go! As long as you let me go, I will never retaliate against you!”
“Is this your Master Archi? The first–in–line heir and the future head of the Lightfoot family? He’s just so- so. Are you sure the family won’t collapse if it’s handed to such a craven and cowardly person?” David looked at Bernard and the others and asked.
“This is between the core seniors and grandmasters. I am only responsible for his safety, and I have no right to question it. No matter what, Master Archi is the first–in–line heir, and once he dies, the family will get the grandmasters. David, you should think properly about whether you can handle the wrath of Saints,” Bernard answered.
“Are you threatening me?”
“No! I was just stating the facts.”
“Are Saints so amazing to you all? Why do you think your grandmasters can scare me into releasing your master?” David chortled and asked.
He stunned everyone when he asked that.
me when he asked that
Everyone knew that Saints had the highest combat power in Star Kingdom.
They were all grandmasters in every force.
‘If Saints are not amazing, is there someone else more amazing than that?
‘Is this kid stupid?
‘He just asked Master Archi to stay humble but he’s looking down on Saints now.‘
“David, you can’t insult Saints. If the Saints Association hears about this, you will not have a place to hide in this vast universe. Let Master Archi go now, and we can pretend this never happened. If not, it won’t be our grandmasters who’re coming after you. Instead, it’ll be the Saints of Star Kingdom,” another late Sovereign Ranker said.
“Are you trying to scare me?” David asked indifferently.
“I’m not. Everyone in Star Kingdom knows that you can’t insult a Saint. Anyone who dares to go against it will have to pay a huge price or even lose their life. What you said has already insulted the Saints.”
“I can’t insult a Saint, huh? Yeah, this is a good rule. I like it.”
“David, what the hell do you want?” Bernard finally asked, unable to hold himself back anymore.
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1770--“What do I want? I want to ask you what you want after following me for so long?” David asked.
“We’re admitting defeat this time. What should we do for you to let Master Archi go? Just tell us. I know you should have your demands since you haven’t taken action after so long. Tell us and we’ll fulfill it for you.”
“Alright. I’ll tell you what I want. If you can help me take care of something, I will let him go,” David thought about it and said.
Bernard did not say anything.
Archimedes, who was under David’s control, cried impatiently, “Tell us! Tell us now! David, as long as you tell us, I will do my best to help you. There’s nothing I can’t do on the Central Sacred Continent!”
“When I was making my way here not long ago, I ran into a pretty arrogant guy, and I got into a conflict with him. He wanted to kill me, but he failed. So, I killed him. His family should be coming for me soon. Can you help me with that?”
“Sure sure sure! Of course! David, leave this to me. If his family dares to come to you, I will surely help you take care of it. No one on the Central Sacred Continent dares to disrespect me,” Archimedes yelled as if he had spotted a glimpse of hope.
It would be fine if David had any demands.
He was worried that David would be stubborn and then directly kill him.
If that happened, he would be so aggrieved.
“Right, before that guy died, he told me his name was Cornelius Lightfoot. You are Archimedes Lightfoot and you both have Lightfoot as your surname. Moreover, your names are both super pretentious so I’m guessing you should know each other,” David said while pretending to be dumb.
‘What?
‘Cornelius?
‘David was the one who killed Cornelius?‘
The smile on Archimedes‘ face froze.
Then, his body started to shake, and an intense fear filled his heart.
Since David dared to kill Cornelius, would he also dare to kill him?
Bernard and the other powerhouses were all stunned as they stood in the distance.
The reason they were here was that the family asked them to investigate Cornelius‘ death.
Who knew that the murderer was right in front of them?
At the same time, he also had Master Archimedes as a hostage now.
They were not idiots, and they could tell that David was playing them for fools.
Archimedes Lightfoot and Cornelius Lightfoot. One could tell from a glance that they were related, so how could David not know it too?
Furthermore, Cornelius had definitely told David that he was the second–in–line heir of the Lightfoot family before he was killed.
Bernard stared at David as his brain raced.
‘Why did David tell them that he had killed Cornelius?
‘Is he trying to make amends with the Lightfoot family in return for Master Archi’s life?
‘No!
‘He’s not an idiot, so he’ll know there will be no way in hell that we will reconcile.
‘He killed the second–in–line heir and now he wants to use the first–in–line heir’s life to reconcile?
‘How would that work?
‘What is David trying to do?
1
‘He knows there’s no way this matter will end peacefully, but he still said it.
‘Is he not scared of the Lightfoot family’s retaliation?‘
Bernard shuddered suddenly, then he looked at David in disbelief.
‘Unless… He wants to kill all of us?‘
