Ch. 2651..2660
I am a quadrillionarire chapter 2651-As a strong powerhouse, Captain Himmel had experienced many battles, both small and big.
One could say that he was highly experienced when it came to combat.
He determined that the last attack was the enemy's last struggle.
The enemy had run out of Soul Fracturing Arrows.
Captain Himmel had been suppressing his rage this entire time, and he finally unleashed his anger. He was now about to make a killing out there.
"The enemy has run out of Soul Fracturing Arrows. Stay here and protect Madam and Young Master. I’ll be heading out there to slaughter those bastards.” Captain Himmel immediately ran into the forest before the others could react.
It was where most of the Soul Fracturing Arrows were shot from, and that meant it was where the enemy had hidden themselves.
Not long after, screams could be coming from that side of the forest.
With Captain Himmel's capabilities, handling those enemies was as easy as chopping vegetables.
All he needed to do was swing his blade and a blade force of several meters would be able to take the lives of dozens of their enemies.
Just when it seemed like a landslide victory for them, a voice suddenly rang out from within the forest.
"Mission failure! The target is under secret protection from an invincible powerhouse. Everyone, retreat!!!” It was clear that shooting several hundreds of Soul Fracturing Arrows at the same time did not garner any results, which led them to believe that a powerhouse was secretly protecting the target.
Anyone who could stop the attack of hundreds of Soul Fracturing Arrows was someone whose power surpassed their imagination.
A smile appeared on Captain Himmel's face as he roared with laughter. "You're retreating? I can't let you go that easily. Men, the enemy have been cornered. Attack!!!"
With that, he ran toward the direction of the voice.
Anguish screams continued from within the forest.
Not long after that, Captain Himmel returned with the remaining guards, all drenched in blood.
They had annihilated many of the enemy in this fight.
However, some had managed to escape.
That was not to say that the team had not suffered any loss.
They had lost one-third of the guards.
These were people who were the cream of the crop.
"Madam, Young Master, we've annihilated most of the enemy, but a portion of them managed to escape. Everyone has suffered major wounds in this battle and we're worried this might be a trick by the enemy to lead us away from you, which is why we did not give chase." Captain Himmel reported the situation respectfully toward the carriage that Leticia and Zion were occupying.
"It’s been hard on all of you, Captain Himmel. Zion and I will never forget your sacrifice. We will make sure you are rightly compensated once we reach the Imperial Capital," a voice spoke from the carriage.
"You're much too kind, Madam. This is our responsibility. It was our fault for not being able to protect Madam and Young Master well just now."
"Let bygones be bygones! There is no need to take it to heart, Captain Himmel. I'm well aware that you've done the best you can. Without all of your dedication during this journey, Zion and I would have died many times."
"Thank you for your forgiveness, Madam. May I inquire if we should continue our journey right now or take a rest to put things in order before leaving?" Captain Himmel asked.
"Let's take a rest first! Everyone is hurt and you would need some time to recuperate before we continue moving," Leticia replied.
"Yes, Madam!!!"
The guards immediately began taking care of their wounds.
Those who required medication took them, while those who required rest took their rest.
Two hours later.
Captain Himmel led the convoy to continue their journey.
Their destination was the Imperial Capital.
It was the capital of the Great Quinn Empire.
Not long after they started their journey, Captain Himmel, at the front, noticed a figure blocking the way of the convoy.
He took a closer look at the figure.
The figure looked a little familiar.
Was that the same guy who had blocked their path previously?
He had even given that guy money to send him off.
Why was he in front of the convoy again?
"Hey! What are you doing? Are you asking for a beating?" Captain Himmel asked sternly.
I am a quadrillionarire chapter 2652-His tone was brusque.
He was prepared to fight the moment this conversation took a negative turn.
Captain Himmel was sure that the young man in front of him was a spy sent by robbers, which was why he was so unfriendly.
David, who was standing in the middle of the route, began complaining in his mind.
If it was not for him, their Madam and Young Master would have gone to Hades. How dare they shout so rudely at him.
However, David was not a petty man.
He had decided to hide his identity, and it was unfair to blame the other party for acting rude toward him.
"Hey, good sir! I'm just looking for a ride. It would be nice if I could have some help," David replied politely.
"Ho! You really don't know when to give up, do you? Are you trying to get something out of us now that we’ve just experienced a big battle and are all wounded? Do you think I'm stupid? How about if I send you off your way with one swing of my blade?" Captain Himmel sneered as he said.
He took out his huge saber and pointed it at David.
"Why don’t you believe me, Sir?! I don’t mean any harm."
David shook his head with a bitter smile.
"You’re a loner on this barren land who moves faster than we do right now. How am I supposed to believe you? Would you believe it if it was you?"
That does it!
There was nothing else that David could do.
If he wanted to stay with them, he would have to show them some of his abilities.
He would just need to prove that he was stronger than Captain Himmel was.
No one would chase him away then.
David was just about to speak up.
That was when a voice suddenly rang out.
"What’s going on, Captain Himmel?"
The voice came from within the carriage. It belonged to the Madam, Leticia Chandler.
"Madam, it’s that young man who had stood in our way before. I'll chase him off right now. It won’t take much time," Captain Himmel replied respectfully.
He was about to move forward and take care of that ignorant rascal physically.
If that rascal insists on staying where he was, Captain Himmel would slash him with his saber.
This was all for the sake of escorting the Madam and the Young Master safely to the Imperial Capital.
It was safer to kill this young man than let him off.
However, Captain Himmel did not manage to do so.
It was because Leticia spoke up once more.
"Let him stay, Captain Himmel!"
"Huh???"
Captain Himmel was confused.
There might be some problem with his hearing.
Is the Madam allowing a stranger to stay with them?
Captain Himmel asked, "What did you just say, Madam? I didn't hear you."
"I said to let that young man stay! We’ll take him with us," Leticia repeated herself.
"But, Madam, we know nothing about that young man. He doesn't look like a good person. Keeping him with us would compromise your safety!" Captain Himmel tried to talk her out of it. 1 David nearly turned away when he heard this.
What did that man mean by him not looking like a good person?
That man looked like a bad person too!
His entire family must be bad people too.
If David had not arrived in time. Captain Himmel would not even have a place and time to cry out of misery.
"Sir! That doesn't sound nice at all. I think I'm still considered a good-looking guy even though a person’s looks don't determine whether they are good or bad. But I don't think I look like a bad person!" David could not help retorting.
"How dare you!!! I'm speaking to the Madam. There is no place for a rascal like you to interrupt!" Captain Himmel looked at David furiously.
I am a quadrillionarire chapter 2653-“Captain Himmel, I said to bring along this young man,” the voice spoke once more from the carriage.
He could tell that the Madam was determined about this.
Captain Himmel knew she would not listen no matter what he said.
In the end, he could only reply, “Yes, Madam!!!” After that, he turned to stare sternly at David.
His eyes spoke volumes.
It seemed to be warning David not to do anything stupid or he would suffer the consequences.
“Young man! Be on your best behavior now that the Madam has allowed you to stay out of the kindness of her heart.
You can’t afford to suffer the consequences if I find out you did something wrong.” “Don’t worry, Sir! I, David Lidell, have always been an upright person.
I won’t admit to anything I haven’t done,” David replied with a smile.
“Hmph!!!” Captain Himmel grunted loudly to express his unhappiness.
He later said, “Follow behind the convoy! I’ll get someone to watch over you.
If we find out anything wrong with you, you’ll get kicked out of the convoy if it’s a light penalty.
If it’s a serious penalty, we'll kill you on the spot.” “Captain Himmel! We have plenty of space in here.
Let the young man take the carriage with us!” Captain Himmel heard Madam Leticia’s voice.
This immediately surprised him.
“Madam, this can’t be allowed! No one knows where this fellow is from.
What if you allowed him into your carriage and it turns out he has bad intentions? We won’t be able to save you in time,” Captain Himmel tried his best to talk her out of it.
Allowing David to follow at the back of the convoy was the extent of his tolerance.
How could he agree to David sharing a carriage with the Madam and the Young Master? David may look more like the son of a rich family rather than a bad person.
However, one cannot judge a book by its cover.
Who would guarantee that this rascal did not have any bad intentions? “T have my reasoning, Captain Himmel.
Just follow my instructions.” “You can’t allow this, Madam! I can give in to anything you want, but not this.
This involves the safety of you and the young master.
Please forgive me for not being able to follow your instructions.” It was the first time Captain Himmel was going against her wishes.
It was not only for the sake of the Madam and the Young Master, it was also for him and the rest of his team.
Nothing must happen to them.
Otherwise, something worse than death would await him and the other guards.
“Captain Himmel, I know you’re objecting to this for the sake of me and Zion, and we’re grateful for you, but you’re only a guard at the end of the day and we’ re your masters.
I hope you understand where you stand.
All you need to do is execute our orders.
I'll bear the responsibility for any consequences,” Madam Leticia said firmly.
Captain Himmel was stunned and had no idea what to do.
It was the first time the Madam was speaking to him in sucha tone.
This meant that she was angry.
He was reminded that Madam and Young Master’s statuses would go through a drastic change the moment they arrived at the Imperial Capital safely.
They might even become the rulers of the Great Quinn Empire.
Incurring the wrath of the Madam was not wise.
It would only harm him, not benefit him.
However, Captain Himmel could not understand this.
Why would the Madam speak to him in such a way because of a stranger? Was it worth it? He had risked his life trying to protect and escort her and the young master.
Just like what he did in battle earlier.
He had almost died.
What magic did that rascal possess? Captain Himmel looked at David.
He was sort of good-looking and a little fairer than most.
He could be considered a young man who could attract the mature and the young.
Could the Madam be attracted to him? That was not possible!
I am a quadrillionarire chapter 2653-“Captain Himmel, I said to bring along this young man,” the voice spoke once more from the carriage.
He could tell that the Madam was determined about this.
Captain Himmel knew she would not listen no matter what he said.
In the end, he could only reply, “Yes, Madam!!!” After that, he turned to stare sternly at David.
His eyes spoke volumes.

What magic did that rascal possess? Captain Himmel looked at David.
He was sort of good-looking and a little fairer than most.
He could be considered a young man who could attract the mature and the young.
Could the Madam be attracted to him? That was not possible!
I am a quadrillionarire chapter 2654-The Madam had never stepped out of the carriage and should not have seen what that rascal looked like.
Besides, one needed to take her status into account.
She was the woman of the Emperor of the Great Quinn Empire.
Even if the Emperor was now seriously ill and did not have long to live, his closest aides would not allow anyone to take his woman away.
What Captain Himmel did not know was that Leticia was not Zion’s biological mother.
She was his mother’s twin sister.
Both of them looked too much alike.
When Captain Himme! looked at the portrait that His Majesty had created from memory, he recognized Leticia immediately as the woman His Majesty had acquainted with.
Leticia did not deny that identity so that she could accompany Zion to the Imperial Capital and care of him.
This was the same reason why Captain Himmel respected Leticia and accepted her as the Madam, even obeying her orders throughout the journey.
If Captain Himmel found out Leticia was Zion’s aunt, but not his mother, he might give her the same respect, but would not follow her orders that much.
This was the difference in status.
If Zion became the Emperor of the Great Quinn Empire, his mother would become the Empress Dowager.
If she was his aunt, it would be a different story.
“Madam! Please consider this again for the sake of your safety!” Captain Himmel continued to convince her.
“Don't worry, Captain Himmel! I have my reasons for this.
Just focus on your duty.
Once we arrive at the Imperial Capital, Zion will ensure compensation for every one of you who had bled for us!” Leticia replied.
“Sigh!!!” There was nothing Captain Himmel could do but sigh.
He did not dare offend Leticia.
This was the woman who would become the Empress Dowager.
The Emperor was still young and the Empress Dowager would be the one to make decisions for the Great Quinn Empire.
He had no choice but to agree to the Madam’s orders.
“Hey, your name is David Lidell, right?” Captain Himmel asked.
“Yes, it is." David smiled.
“You're pretty lucky to have met someone as kind as Madam, David! Since Madam is allowing you to share a carriage with her, hurry up! Don’t delay our journey.
As captain of the guards, I’d like to remind you that you should be aware of what should be done and what shouldn’t.
Think clearly of your actions, otherwise » Captain Himme) did not finish the sentence, but his threat was very clear.
“Thank you for the reminder, Sir!” David replied with a laugh.
He walked over to the carriage and when he brushed shoulders with Captain Himmel, he could feel the murderous intent emanating from the captain.
David knew that he was a highly experienced powerhouse on the battlefield.
However, he was only a powerhouse when pitted against others on this planet.
It was different when it came to David.
It was not only this planet.
Expand it even to the entire civilization.
The strongest of all the powerhouses would easily be defeated by David.
David ignored Captain Himmel’s animosity as he went straight toward Leticia’s carriage and got in without a second thought.
His initial intention was to find someone to chat with to relieve his boredom.
He had been on the road for half a year, which made David feel quite lonely.
The moment he arrived, he bumped into this convoy.
During their short conversation, this Madam piqued David’s interest, which led to what happened later.
If not for the words Madam said when David first blocked them, he might have already left.
It would have been easy to find someone to chat with on this living planet.
Imagine if David had left.
The battle they faced just now could not have been won without his help.
Leticia and Zion might have died in the carriage.
Fate was sometimes a very strange thing.
From another perspective, Leticia’s belief in the Heavens protecting Zion was somehow accurate as well.
After all, being able to bump into David was considered fate.
I am a quadrillionarire chapter 2655-David entered the carriage only to see the beautiful woman hugging a boy of about ten looking curiously back at him! “How do you do, Madam?” David greeted her with a smile.
“Please have a seat, Master David,” Leticia nodded and replied.
“Thank you, Madam!” David did not stand on ceremony as he sat opposite both of them.
Before he could speak, the beautiful Leticia spoke up first, “Where are you headed to, Master David?” Uri...
This question stumped David.
Where was he headed? He was headed to the level 9 civilization Leila.
However, he could not tell her that.
The answer would be frightening to others.
“1 don’t actually have anywhere to go.
I’m just a traveler who has the sky as a roof and the earth as my bed.
Anywhere is home,” David replied as he put up a noble look on his face.
“What a carefree life you lead, Master David! I’m quite envious of you,” Leticia exclaimed.
“What is there to be envious about? At the end of the day, I’m just a homeless wanderer who can’t be compared to bigshots like you,” David said with self-deprecating humor.
“That's not right, Master David.
Everyone has a right to live how they want.
What you see or hear might not be the truth.
Bigshots have their share of worries.
Ordinary people can enjoy happiness that bigshots might not have.
Ordinary people are always hoping to make it big, but they aren’t aware that, sometimes, bigshots would like to return to ordinary life.” “you're right! That’s not a bad way to put it.
I do agree with you.
You’re very wise, Madam,” David nodded.
“You’re much too kind, Master David.
I’m just an ordinary woman who doesn’t know much.
This is just a small opinion of mine,” Leticia replied humbly.
“You're much too humble, Madam.
What you consider a small opinion contains much enlightenment compared to others.” “Where have you visited during your travels, Maser David? Can you share your stories with me? To be honest, even though I’ma little older than you, I haven’t really been anywhere.” “You’ve missed out on too many interesting things, Madam.
It’s often said that it’s best to see the world with your own eyes rather than read them from books.
You should take some time to travel and see the world for yourself.
Whatever you read in books won't give you the experience found in the real world.” “Master David is right.
Unfortunately, I did not manage to travel in the past and I won’t be able to enjoy such luxury in the future,” Leticia said with a sigh.
She knew very well that it would be very difficult to leave once she stepped into the Imperial Capital.
Numerous eyes would be watching her no matter where she went in the future.
However, she had no choice but to go to the Imperial City as Zion's mother for his sake.
Otherwise, at Zion’s age, he would be eaten alive by those cunning royal relatives the moment he stepped into the Great Quinn Empire.
Even if she stayed by his side, it would not be a guarantee that Zion would inherit the throne so easily.
Many officials would come to sound them out the moment they arrived.
She had to be the one to deal with them.
“Why won't you have the opportunity?! You can leave if you want to and visit anywhere in the world,” David said nonchalantly.
“You are not aware, Master David, that there are many things out of our control.
There are not many who live as carefree as you do in this world.” Leticia shook her head slightly.
“That’s true!” Next, Leticia asked David about the places he visited and the cultures he experienced.
David combined his experiences from the Milky Way and the Star Kingdom to make up some stories for her.
This piqued Leticia and Zion’s curiosity immediately.
They were enthralled by David’s stories.
This was especially so for little Zion.
He was only about ten years old, and one could say that he had almost no life experience.
David’s stories were full of color and excitement.
They had opened up Zion’s imagination of the world.
He ended up happily referring to David as ‘Dave’.
David kept introducing different stories of the outside world to Zion with relish.
Zion’s eyes brightened from listening to them.
He promised himself to visit the places David told him about when he had the opportunity in the future.
I am a quadrillionarire chapter 2656-He had no idea that the places David was telling him about could not be found anywhere on this planet.
David was talking about other civilizations in the Universe.
David patiently answered each of the numerous questions posed by Zion.
After all, the reason he was here was to find someone to chat with and while away his boredom.
He was almost going crazy from not being able to speak to anyone for more than half a year.
The question and answer session between them passed quickly, and it was soon evening.
Under Captain Himmel’s lead, the team stopped and began setting up camp.
The maids in the other two carriages came out to make dinner.
Their responsibility was to take care of their masters’ daily lives.
David and Zion had a lot of fun with their questions and answers.
They had so much to talk about.
Even beautiful Leticia was enjoying the session.
She would interrupt once in a while, but most of the time was left to David and Zion.
It was not long before they heard Captain Himmel’s voice from outside the carriage.
Madam, Young Master, dinner is ready.
Would you like to have it outside or do you want us to bring it in?” “you can bring it in! We'll be having our meal in the carriage,” Leticia answered.
“Yes, Madam!!!” Captain Himmel replied and left to make preparations.
The Madam’s voice rang out again.
“Prepare dinner for three.
Master David will be dining with us.” “Yes, Madam!!!” The maids soon brought a sumptuous dinner into the carriage.
“Please help yourself, Master David!” Leticia said.
“Enjoy the dinner, Madam!” David replied politely.
With David’s current abilities, he no longer required food.
He could stop eating for ten thousand years and he would not die of hunger.
However, he had to hide his identity, and that meant he could not reveal anything too out of the ordinary.
Leticia got the maid over to clean up after they were done with dinner.
Zion could not wait to continue their conversation.
David stayed in the carriage alone that night to rest, while Leticia and Zion got out of the carriage to stay in the tent that was specially set up for them.
The next day, David and Zion spent the entire day talking about interesting things that happened around the world.
By the third day, David felt that it was almost time.
He had obtained what he had come for and had been chatting continuously for two days.
He was finished with all the talking he had missed out on for the past six months.
He felt it was time to leave.
There were still matters waiting for him to handle in Leila.
The hidden threat of Emperor Lufian was also still around.
As the only person able to stop him, David had to rush to Leila.
If Emperor Lufian lost control, David would still be able to stop him if he arrived on time to prevent massive damage.
So, David said his goodbyes to Leticia and Zion.
“Madam Chandler, Zion, thank you for bringing me along the way.
It is time to part and I should be going.” “You’re leaving, Master David?” “Are you going, Dave?” Leticia and Zion asked in astonishment at almost the same time.
“Yes! I have something to attend to, which is why I have to leave,” David nodded and replied.
“Can't you stay, Dave? Just accompany me for a few more days! I’ll be so bored after you leave!” Zion began to beg him with asad face.
After spending the past three days with him, Zion found himself liking this big brother a lot and did not want him to leave!
I am a quadrillionarire chapter 2657-Zion, I'd like to accompany you longer too, but there’s a lot waiting for me to do.
I can’t help but leave.
Listen to your mother and don’t be so stubborn, alright, Zion? You're a really smart kid.
You'll definitely do great things in the future,” David consoled him.
David thought they were mother and son after spending the last two to three days with them.
Only mother and son could have such a close relationship.
When there was an outsider, Zion would not refer to her as Aunt Leticia for fear that people would find out the truth.
“T’'ll be so bored once you’ re gone, Dave!” Zion was reluctant for him to go.
“Don’t you have your mother with you? How would you be bored? Besides, you’ve endured this on your own for so long, you can’t be unable to go back to your normal routine just because I showed up.
I'll be leaving soon, after all.” David finally convinced the little guy.
He was done saying goodbye and was about to leave.
Leticia suddenly knelt before David, accompanied by Zion.
This sight caught David by surprise.
“What are you doing, Madam Chandler?” David asked in confusion.
“Master David! First, I'd like to represent Zion and the guards out there to thank you for saving us.
If it wasn’t for you, we would have died at the hands of the enemy.
Second, as there might still be enemies waiting to ambush us along the way, I'd like to ask for your help in escorting us to the Imperial Capital of the Great Quinn Empire.
If you’re willing to help us, Pll promise you anything you ask for,” Leticia said seriously.
She had suspected for a while that David was the person who had saved them at that crucial moment.
After all, it would take some abilities for a young man to roam about a barren land filled with robbers.
That was why she had invited him to sit in their carriage.
After that, they began talking more.
Their conversation made Leticia even more certain about her assumptions David had talked about places that did not belong anywhere in the Great Quinn Empire.
That meant that David had either made up those stories or he had been somewhere outside of the Great Quinn Empire.
He could not have made up stories because they sounded like he had experienced them personally.
The fact that David could visit so many strange and unique places on his own convinced Leticia even more that David was the person who had saved them.
As for how David managed to accomplish that and make everyone forget what happened during that time, Leticia had no idea.
This could be what people meant when they said legendary powerhouses had their ways! Of course, even then, Leticia was not completely sure of David's identity.
Since he was not willing to share his secret, Leticia would not reveal any of her suspicions.
Leticia would keep this thought to herself forever if David followed them to the Imperial Capital.
However, David was about to leave.
Leticia could no longer pretend and had to do something.
There was still a long way to go before they reached the Imperial Capital.
No one knew what sort of danger lay ahead of them or whether it would it be even more dangerous than the last time.
Without David's help, it would be difficult to tell if they could reach the Imperial Capital at all.
That was why Leticia mustered up her courage and revealed the guesses in her mind.
She wanted everything voiced out in the open and to keep David with them.
As long as he was willing to stay with them, any danger they face on this journey would no longer be a problem.
David looked at Leticia kneeling on the ground.
Her head was lowered as she did not dare to look up at him.
David wondered what he had done to reveal his identity to this woman.
He did not think he made any mistakes! When he was controlling the power of the Law of Time, he had frozen time in this entire place.
When time was frozen, everyone’s mind would cease thinking.
Even if he walked past them, no one would notice him.
I am a quadrillionarire chapter 2658-Where exactly did he go wrong? Did she guess it? Or was she trying to trick him? David could not figure it out.
However, since she had already put this out in the open, he did not want to continue hiding anything.
There was no reason to do so.
So what if he hid this? What could happen even if he decided to reveal it? Who would be able to control his actions? David was now in a high position.
He decided to go with the flow.
If he was found out, he would just admit it readily.
Keeping it a secret longer would not be appropriate for him.
“I’m quite curious, Madam Chandler.
How are you so sure that it was me?” David asked curiously.
Leticia was delighted when she heard David's reply.
It was just as she suspected!!! She did not guess wrong.
The person who had saved them was the young man in front of her.
She was mentally prepared for this.
Yet, Leticia was so excited that she could not help trembling.
“Master David, if I told you I guessed it, would you believe me?” Leticia replied carefully.
David had admitted it.
She did not dare speak in the same tone to him as before.
This was a powerhouse in front of her.
All Leticia remembered was numerous Soul Fracturing Arrows shot at her.
The only thing she could do was to hold Zion tightly in her arms and use her body to shield him from harm.
However, when she opened her eyes again, all of the Soul Fracturing Arrows had lost their momentum and fallen all over the floor of the carriage.
Leticia had no memory of what had transpired.
She had never experienced such a strange occurrence before.
“Even if it was a guess, it won’t necessarily lead you in this direction.
Go on and ask Captain Himmel out there and see if he has the same guess as you.” “Master David! Actually, I noticed some clues while chatting with you, which slowly led me to this guess.
From the knowledge I have of the Great Quinn Empire, the places you mentioned did not match any location found in this Empire.
Moreover, a young man like you, having visited so many strange places, isn’t something an ordinary person can achieve,” Leticia explained.
“Alright! I was acting too callously.
I’m afraid I don’t have that much time to escort you to the Imperial Capital.” David stopped talking about this and changed the topic.
“To be frank, Master David, we’ve encountered more than dozens of ambushes during this journey.
When we started, we had hundreds of men with us, but, after only two-thirds of the journey, we only one-tenth of the men left.
Without you escorting us, another attack like before would ensure our death,” Leticia said grimly.
David was silent and said nothing.
After a while, he asked, “Can you tell me why are those people after you?” Leticia disclosed everything to David: their true identity, the reason for their journey, and the identity of their enemy.
Upon hearing her story, all David could think of was that this was such a clichéd tale of an illegitimate son trying to claim the throne but being thwarted by his scheming relatives.
However, this throne was not a minor one: it was the throne of the Great Quinn Empire.
He glanced at Zion.
Who knew this little guy was the heir to the throne? If they could arrive safely at the Imperial Capital, he would inherit it.
I am a quadrillionarire chapter 2659-David gave this some thought.
It would definitely not work out for him if he spent too much time escorting them to the Imperial Capital.
Considering the speed of the convoy, if they encounter any difficulties along the way and are delayed, they may not be able to reach within three or five days, perhaps even eight or ten days.
This would mean months. Who could guarantee nothing would happen in Leila during this time?
Emperor Lufian was a ticking time bomb that could go off at anytime. He had to rush back as soon as possible.
"Madam Chandler, since you’ve discovered my identity, there is no need for me to hide it any longer. I was the one who saved you the last time you were in danger. I came here merely to find someone to have a chat with and cure my boredom. That is all. I currently have something very important to attend to and I don't have the extra time to escort you to the Imperial Capital," David rejected her as gently as he could. >
David was rejecting Leticia again.
Leticia felt her breath being beaten out of her as she almost fell to the ground.
She had thought that they had built up a rapport after spending two to three days together, and David would be willing to escort them to the Imperial Capital.
Leticia did not expect to be rejected so many times.
"Mas… Master David!" Leticia called out to him but did not know what else to say.
"Dave! Please help us!" Little Zion began begging as well.
"Madam Chandler, Zion, it's not that I'm unwilling to help you out, but I really do have something very important that I need to do urgently. But I can offer you a choice right now."
David was willing to give them a choice, and that ignited hope in Leticia.
"What is it?" Leticia could not help asking.
"I don't have time to escort you with the convoy, but I can take you to the Imperial Capital of the Great Quinn Empire on my own. It depends on whether you are willing to accept this, or you can choose to travel with the guards out there. It is all up to you." This was the compromise David offered.
He was short of time, and this was the only thing he could offer.
David could take Leticia and Zion straight to the Imperial Capital of the Great Quinn Empire before leaving for Leila. This would not take too much time.
"I choose the first choice, Master David. Please take me and Zion to the Imperial Capital," Leticia immediately replied without a second thought.
Their guards were all wounded. They could not escort them safely to the Imperial Capital.
If they encounter another ambush like the last time, all of them would probably end up dead.
Leticia could not leave without David.
If she did, they might never make it to the Imperial Capital.
Leticia was not stupid.
She knew what the right choice was.
"Are you sure? If you let me take you to the Imperial Capital, you won't be able to prove your identity. That might incur unnecessary trouble. You have to think this through," said David.
"Don't worry, Master David! We have a way to prove our identities. All you need to do is to bring us to the Emperor of the Great Quinn Empire."
"Alright! Since you agree to this, we won't waste any more time. Let's go right now!" David stood up and said.
"Master David! Please let me inform Captain Himmel and the others about this. Those guards had given everything they had to escort me and Zion safely to this point. Most of them have been sacrificed, and those left are wounded. I can’t leave without informing them," Leticia begged in a soft voice.
*
"Sure!!! Go ahead and tell them! We have to leave as soon as possible."
'Thank you, Master David!!!" Leticia replied happily.
She could not disappear quietly and leave Captain Himmel and the others in the lurch.
Leticia went out of the carriage soon after.
The convoy was still moving speedily ahead.
"Captain Himmel!!!" Leticia shouted at the person at the front of the convoy.
I am a quadrillionarire chapter 2660-When he heard her voice, the man riding an unusual beast immediately turned and came to Leticia's side.
"What do you need, Madam?" Captain Himmel asked respectfully.
"Captain Himmel, thank you for escorting me and Zion safely so far. Without you, Zion and I would have died many times over. Don't any of you worry because no matter how high a position Zion gets to, he will never forget what all of you did for him." Leticia was sincerely grateful.
'This is nothing, Madam! It's our duty to escort you and the young master safely to the Imperial Capital. In fact, it's been hard on you during this time with all the shock you've suffered," Captain Himmel immediately replied.
"Don't say that, Captain Himmel. Too many of you have died to protect me and Zion. For the safety of the rest of you, I have decided to head to the Imperial Capital on my own. Once Zion and I leave, you can split the convoy into different teams to move. That way, more of you would be able to survive."
Leticia's words confounded Captain Himmel.
Did the madam just say she would leave for the Imperial Capital on her own?
What did she mean?
Before he was able to process her words, Leticia continued, "Captain Himmel, Zion and I will wait for you at the Imperial Capital. I hope all of you will arrive safely. Zion and I will be waiting there to welcome you.” With that, Leticia turned to enter the carriage.
It was only then that Captain Himmel snapped out of it and quickly asked, "What do you mean, Madam?"
Leticia did not reply because she was not sure if David was willing to reveal his identity.
Another voice came from inside the carriage.
"She means that I'll be in charge of taking her and Zion away first. You can split up your team and head to the Imperial Capital separately. That way, you would have a bigger chance of arriving safely."
David held Zion's hand and came out of the carriage after saying that.
"What are you doing, you rascal? I’m warning you, if you hurt Madam or Young Master, there would be no place in this world for you to hide," Captain Himmel warned him sternly.
Zion was a prince of the Great Quinn Empire, the only heir to the throne.
Madam was the Emperor's woman.
Their noble status was not something David could trifle with.
Captain Himmel’s words attracted the attention of the other guards.
Everyone surrounded them while giving David hostile looks.
They did not have a good impression of David from the very start.
However, they did not dare go against the Madam’s orders before this.
Yet, now, David wanted to leave with Madam and Young Master?
That was not possible.
If that fellow decided to do bad halfway through their journey, the Madam and the Young Master would be trapped with nowhere to get help.
They could not allow such a thing to happen.
This would implicate everyone's life and fortunes.
'This is a big world. Do you really think there is no place for me to hide?"
David smiled and repeated that sentence. He looked up at the sky before continuing.
"Captain Himmel, your idea of the world and mine are different. Your world is limited to the Great Quinn Empire, my world is the vast and limitless Universe and Galaxy. Do you think they are comparable?"
He did not wait for Captain Himmel to process his words.
David immediately took Leticia and Zion with him as they slowly ascended into the air.
Captain Himmel had no time to think as he shouted.
"How dare you!’! Put Madam and Young Master down!!!"
