Ch. 2661..2670
I am a quadrillionarire chapter 2661-Captain Himmel charged toward David to try to save the Madam and the Young Master.
The other guards followed suit.
Nothing must happen to the Madam and the Young Master.
Otherwise, it would be the end for everyone.
When they approached David, they were suddenly blocked by an invisible shield.
No matter how hard they tried, they could not break through.
They failed despite multiple attempts.
After attempting various methods to break through, everyone began to look at David in fear.
They couldn't comprehend the nature of this ability.
It was powerful enough to block so many people.
Even their captain, the strongest among them, could not do anything.
"Who are you, David?!" Captain Himmel asked loudly.
"I’m just someone who found it too boring traveling on my own and wanted someone to chat with. Then I ran into you all I guess this is considered fate! I’ll help you escort Madam Chandler and Zion to the Imperial Capital. The rest of you should find other ways to get there yourselves!
Goodbye!!!"
David was done talking.
Captain Himmel and the dozens of guards could only watch.
A space tunnel appeared in front of David.
He took Leticia and Zion and entered the tunnel.
After that, the space tunnel vanished.
The sky became normal again.
Captain Himmel and the others could move again.
They were standing in shock. They stared in the direction David left with their masters, overwhelmed by what happened. They were astounded to the core.
"Cap… Captain! How… How did he… he do that? Did… Did he vanish into thin air? This is ridiculous? Was that some sort of magic trick?" a guard stammered.
'That… That was a… A space tunnel. Legend… legend has it that only super powerhouses who have achieved Eternal Realm can do that," Captain Himmel replied in disbelief.
It was evident that he was more knowledgeable than the others.
Planet Brechen was only a level 4 civilization living planet at the very edge of the Boundless Galaxy.
However, it was still recognized by the Boundless Galaxy.
That was why anyone of power on Planet Brechen would know a little about the Boundless Galaxy.
They would also know that the most powerful people in the Boundless Galaxy were those who had achieved the Eternal Realm, and they could create a tear in space and time.
"Eternal Realm? How powerful is that?" Someone asked.
"That would be the most powerful presence in the entire Boundless Galaxy. It's someone who is already at the peak and able to tear through space. That person would be able to travel through high-dimensional space, which is much faster than any other method of traveling. He would be able to reach the Imperial Capital from here almost instantly," Captain Himmel continued explaining.
'That's… That's really powerful. That would mean that rascal, David Lidell, is a Eternal Realm super…"
Before the guard could finish his sentence, Captain Himmel smacked him on the head. A crisp thud could be heard from the smack.
Smack!!!
"Cap… Captain, why did you hit me?" The guard was incredulous.
"I would freaking beat you to death! How dare you talk about Mr. David that way? You're even calling him a rascal? If you're asking for death, don't drag us along with you. Mr. David can turn you to dust with just a breath," Captain Himmel immediately scolded.
"But… But didn't you call him rascal too? Nothing happened to you," the guard mumbled.
"I… I… I…" Captain Himmel stammered for a long time, unable to explain himself.
He was breaking out in cold sweat too.
The fear within him was immense.
I am a quadrillionarire chapter 2662-He remembered how he had treated David since the very first day.
Even till the end, he had given David unfriendly looks and kept referring to him as a rascal.
Any other person might have already gotten into a fight with Captain Himmel.
One of Captain Himmel's team members suddenly said," You mentioned during the last ambush that numerous Soul Fracturing Arrows had already hit the carriage with Madam and Young Master in it. It was clearly the end, but in the end, Madam and Young Master turned out fine. Could it be because of Mr. David's help?"
His words brought everyone's memory back to that day.
The guards in the forest might not be aware, but those guarding the carriage saw the whole thing.
They had already given up then.
However, before they realized what had happened, the Soul Fracturing Arrows had lost their function and the Madam and the Young Master turned out safe.
Now that they were thinking about this.
Who else could it be but Mr. David?
"It must be Mr. David. He is the only one who could have saved Madam and Young Master without any of us realizing it."
'That's right! It must be Mr. David. I guess we owe our lives to David, Madam, and Young Master. Without David, Madam and Young Master would have died and it would also mean the end of us."
Captain Himmel remembered too.
Everything made sense if the Eternal Realm powerhouse, David, was the one who helped them.
Captain Himmel pulled himself together and interrupted everyone's chatter.
"We should stop talking about this for now. Mr. David had been big-hearted enough not to take offense with us. We were fortunate to have been able to meet him. Even though Madam and Young Master are safe, we are still in danger. After all, the enemy has no idea that Madam and Young Master have left. They will still try to attack us. It would be difficult for us to reach the Imperial Capital safely in our current condition."
"What should we do, Captain? Madam and Young Master will reach the Imperial Capital safely with Mr. David escorting them. Our life of riches is right in front of our eyes.
I don't want to die now.” 'That's right! We've survived so far, and so many have sacrificed. Victory is close. It would be a huge loss to die now."
Each of the guards turned to look at Captain Himmel.
"We need a good plan for everyone to reach the Imperial Capital safely and strive for every single one to survive.
Unlimited fortune and women await us in the future with a life of never-ending luxury."
Everyone's eyes brightened when they heard Captain Himmel's words.
They were all looking forward to such a life.
None of them said a word as they quietly waited for Captain Himmel's arrangement.
"Madam and Mr. David had already said we can't move together. It would make us an obvious target. The enemy thinks Madam and Young Master are still with us, so we need to split up and make our team smaller. We’ll meet at the Imperial Capital where Madam will be waiting to welcome us."
"Agreed!!!"
"Agreed!!!"
"Agreed!!!"
All of the guards agreed to the suggestion.
Currently, it was the most useful plan they had.
"Good! Let's split up right now. We will bring those maids sufficient abilities with them. Madam will be sure to show her appreciation once we arrive at the Imperial Capital and make it all up to us. All of you have to be clear on the fact that Madam will be the future Empress Dowager of the Great Quinn Empire."
"I’ll take a maid with me!"
"I’ll take one with me too!"
The dozens of people on the team quickly split into single or pairs. They vanished into the forest.
All three carriages were hidden.
They had to go on the road before the enemy figured out their plan.
Now that they had split up, the enemy would not be able to recognize them. Even if the enemy recognized them, they would not simply attack.
Once the enemy discovered the carriages, their plan would be exposed, and the enemy would do everything in their power to stop them.
I am a quadrillionarire chapter 2663-Level 4 Civilization, Boundless Galaxy.
Planet Brechen, inside the palace of the Great Quinn Empire.
A middle-aged man was lying on a luxurious bed. His face was pale and he looked quite weak, as if he could die at any minute.
He was the Emperor of the Great Quinn Empire, Spencer Quinn. He was the man at the very top of the pyramid that was the Great Quinn Empire.
One could say that Spencer was the person who dictated everything in the Great Quinn Empire.
Yet, a man with so much power in his hands was now lying in a bed, immobilized. Even speaking took a huge effort.
Numerous elderly men surrounded him as they carefully gave him a checkup.
Each of them had sweat on their foreheads, and they wiped it away from time to time.
It was proof of how anxious and fearful they were.
These elderly men were well-known doctors in the Great Quinn Empire.
They had been summoned to treat the Emperor of the Great Quinn Empire.
A year ago, Spencer suddenly contracted a strange illness that the palace doctors could do nothing about.
Faced with this, they decided to summon famous doctors from all over the Great Quinn Empire to find a cure for this illness.
However, the results were not good.
No cure was found, and no one could figure out the reason for his illness.
Every elderly doctor who examined him stated that they had not seen such an illness before.
They were not able to provide any treatment as no one could figure out the root of this illness.
Being of nobility, the Emperor was not someone they could test medication on.
Problems might occur if they tested medication on him.
If that happened, their families would not be spared from execution.
"Cough cough… What is the progress? Have any of you found anything?" Spencer coughed as he asked.
"Forgive us, Your Majesty! We have been practicing medicine for nearly all our lives but we've never come across such a strange illness," one of the elderly men replied respectfully.
"It's true, Your Majesty! We have seen many strange and difficult-to-cure illnesses after living for so long, but there is nothing like the illness you have," another elderly man added.
"Does this mean you have no way of treating my condition?" Spencer asked once more.
"Yes! Without the cause of your illness, we can't simply provide you with just any medication. It might cause your condition to deteriorate," the elderly man clenched his teeth in reply.
'You bunch of… Cough cough… useless things!!! Quack doctors!!! If you can't… Cough cough… Can't cure me, what use are you to me?" Spencer was enraged as he struggled to shout at them.
The maids at his side quickly came forward to help him up.
He had suffered much torment in the past year.
The man who was once spirited and full of vigor was no more.
What was left was a sick man who was tormented to shreds in bed.
The Emperor remembered how he was before.
It did not matter where he went.
All the officials and people of the Great Quinn Empire would kneel to him in respect. What a grand moment that was.
Yet, all he could do now was lie in bed. He even needed someone to help him with food and going to the bathroom.
Spencer could not accept this reality.
He was still young and had a lot of time to enjoy the luxuries and riches of this world.
Lying in bed this way should not be an option.
"Please calm down, Your Majesty! Forgive us for our incompetence and please spare our lives."
I am a quadrillionarire chapter 2664-The group of elderly doctors immediately knelt, begging for their lives, the moment Spencer started shouting about their incompetencies.
They had heard of his reputation before arriving.
The Emperor was now emotionally unstable and would execute any doctor if he felt even slightly unhappy.
No one wanted to come.
However, they had no choice.
The army had escorted them here. Anyone who refused would have been executed on the spot.
The elderly doctors had been feeling fearful throughout their journey to the palace. There was not a night that they slept well.
They were scared of enraging the Emperor if they could not cure his illness.
None of them had any confidence in curing him since even the palace doctors could not help him.
'You’re a bunch of useless things! Useless!!! Drag them all out and have them executed,” Spencer roared.
"Please have mercy, Your Majesty! Have mercy!"
The elderly doctors trembled as they knelt on the ground.
Begging the Emperor for mercy was the only thing they could do now in hopes of staying alive.
'Your Majesty, you've already executed many famous doctors. If this continues, it would create unrest among the people and would negatively affect the Great Quinn Empire. Please reconsider, Young Majesty,” a minister stood up to say.
"What's wrong? Are you starting to complain just because I’ve executed a few people? Do you think I’m becoming useless? Is that why you're not following my orders anymore?” Spencer was helped up by a maid and stared at the minister while half-lying in bed. There was murder in his eyes.
Cold sweat broke out on the minister's back when he was glared at by the man who was once at the peak of the Great Quinn Empire.
However, the realization that the Emperor had been bedridden for over a year without a cure, despite consulting every doctor in the Great Quinn Empire, gradually eased his anxiety. Essentially, this implied that the Emperor was incurable.
Since contracting this illness, the Emperor was not as capable as he used to be and has since lost the power he once wielded.
A beast without claws and teeth was no different from an ordinary animal, probably even worse.
"I’m speaking the truth, Your Majesty! These doctors who are trying to treat you come from every corner of the Great Quinn Empire and are held in high regard where they are from. You have executed many doctors in the past year and even some of the palace doctors weren't spared. If this continues, it would be bad for the Great Quinn Empire.
Please reconsider your decision, Your Majesty!" The minister tried his best to talk him out of it.
After that, a few more ministers came forward and spoke up.
"Please reconsider your decision, Your Majesty!"
Spencer was furious when he saw this as those ministers used to show him a lot of respect.
Before he contracted this illness, they would not even dare squeak, no matter how many he executed.
They might even smile and agree that those people deserved to be executed.
However, they were now ganging up against him.
His capabilities were not as before and his body was gradually shutting down. As a result, even his status was not as highly regarded as before.
He was still the Emperor of the Great Quinn Empire, but his power and respect were no longer as before.
The Emperor could no longer keep any promises he had made.
"Cough, cough, cough… Good! Very good! This is just great!" Spencer kept repeating this.
This was enough to show how enraged he was.
It was impossible for these ministers not to feel a little nervous. The person they were facing used to be the man who stood at the top of the Great Quinn Empire. Even if he was not as powerful as before, he was still able to exert a certain pressure on them.
"Please understand that we're doing this for the sake of the Great Quinn Empire, Your Majesty! We do not want your name to be tarnished over this!"
"What a great excuse, claiming that this is for the sake of the Great Quinn Empire and my reputation! I’m not dead yet! As long as I’m alive, The Great Quinn Empire belongs to me, Spencer Quinn. I'll execute whoever I want. Say another word more and I'll execute all of you too."
Spencer clenched his teeth as he said this with a murderous intent.
The ministers could not help shivering.
The Emperor was still the Emperor. Even if this illness had immobilized and kept him bedridden for more than a year, the instinct to kill, bred through his years on the battlefield, was still intact.
I am a quadrillionarire chapter 2665-Spencer had said what he had to say.
The ministers didn't dare utter another word.
After all, he remained the Emperor of the Great Quinn Empire and still wielded complete control over the empire's military.
They were brave enough to give their opinions, but not to go against the Emperor's wishes.
Otherwise, they might end up being executed too.
Everyone fell silent.
Suddenly, a voice broke the silence.
"Even if you’re the Emperor, the Great Quinn Empire doesn't belong only to you, does it?! The Great Quinn Empire belongs to the people. They may put you on your throne, but they can also drag you off it. It’s no wonder you were cursed with something so terrible when you're such a selfish person."
"Who is it? Who dares speak?" Spencer asked loudly.
Everyone turned in the direction of the voice. Three figures had somehow appeared in the room.
There were two adults and a child of about ten.
It was David, Leticia, and Zion.
David immediately knew that someone had placed a curse on Spencer Quinn the moment he saw him.
It was a very cruel curse too.
The curse would not immediately kill the victim, but would slowly destroy his mobility as he watched his abilities falter bit by bit. He would ultimately become paralyzed.
Nothing would help, no matter what he tried, and he would end up dying in despair, fear, and pain.
This process would take years.
Witnessing one’s gradual descent into their deathbed would be mentally devastating.
Even Spencer, who was the Emperor of the Great Quinn Empire, had to accept the truth.
'Who are you? How did you come in here? Do you know where you are?" a minister with a huge belly asked.
"Is it very difficult to enter here? Isn't this merely the palace of the Great Quinn Empire? You’re talking about it like this is a forbidden area. As for who we are, you'll find out in a moment," David replied casually.
"Men!!! There are assassins in here!" another minister shouted.
He viewed David and the others as assassins because of their sudden appearance.
Several guards in armor came rushing in.
However, the Emperor, Spencer, spoke up the moment they entered the room.
"Nothing is going on here. Get out, everyone!" There was an agitated tone in his voice that he could not hide.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The guards glanced at David, Leticia, and Zion when they heard the order and left the room obediently.
The others turned to look at the Emperor.
They did not understand why he would order the guards to leave and not arrest these three suspicious people.
"May I know your name, young man? What are you here for?" Spencer asked.
"You don’t need to know my name. I'm here to deliver this pair of mother and son. I believe you should know them," David replied.
Spencer looked at Leticia and Zion.
A few scattered memories began to fill his mind.
He immediately knew who they were.
Spencer did not realize that the woman in front was not the woman he once knew.
Leticia and her sister were identical twins. No one could tell them apart while she stood where she was.
Even Spencer could not tell the difference.
"I do! Of course, I do. I was the one who sent my men to bring them back," Spencer replied honestly.
"It's good that you do! Since you know who they are, my job is done. It’s time for me to leave." David turned to leave as he said this.
Spencer quickly stopped him. "Please wait, young man!"
'What else do you need?" David questioned.
"Young man, is it true what you said about me being afflicted by a cruel curse?" Spencer looked at David, his voice filled with agitation.
It was the first time someone had managed to diagnose him.
I am a quadrillionarire chapter 2666-It had been more than a year.
Every doctor who treated him had failed to diagnose him and, because of that, they were unable to prescribe any medication.
After all, who dared use his body as an experiment when he was the Emperor?
Spencer had fallen into despair, which was why he was reminded of the illegitimate son he had outside of the palace. He had sent his men to bring the boy back to inherit the throne of the Great Quinn Empire after his death.
Even though he did not feel anything for this son of his, the boy was still his blood. He was a much better choice than allowing his throne to be snatched away by another.
Yet, today, someone had suddenly diagnosed his illness. It did not matter if it was true or false, but it gave Spencer hope.
That was why he had ordered the guards out of the room and could not wait to ask more questions.
"It's true! You've been cursed, and it's a cruel one. Whoever did this to you is quite powerful. With that kind of ability, they could have easily killed you. I wonder why they chose to use such a method to torment you. You must have deeply offended that person!" David answered honestly.
There was no need for him to conceal anything. He shared all the information he had.
Cursed by someone?
A powerful person?
Kill him easily?
Spencer was stunned by what David had said.
He tried to recall, but he could not think of anything no matter how much he tried.
He had offended quite a lot of people over all these years However, Spencer could not think of any person so powerful.
He was not stupid.
Why would he offend someone powerful enough to kill him? That would be asking for death.
"Are you telling the truth, young man?! Have I really been cursed?" Spencer asked once more.
"Why would I lie to you? If you don’t believe me, so be it! You're dying anyway. This curse will cause you to lose your mobility slowly and be tormented to the very end. You can only watch as you become a dried corpse," David shrugged and said.
"Young… Young man, if you can tell that I've been cursed and know my symptoms clearly, do you know how to cure me?"
Spencer stared at David after asking, his eyes filled with hope.
It was the first time after this year that he saw a glimmer of hope. How could he not feel overwhelmed?
The elderly doctors, ministers, and maids all turned to look at David.
Each was deep in thought.
The elderly doctors hoped that David would be able to cure the Emperor.
This would ensure their survival. They would then be able to return to their normal, carefree lives.
Otherwise, they would end up executed here.
However, this thought was only limited to the doctors.
The ministers and maids did not wish for David to cure the Emperor.
It was very simple.
This was because the Emperor of the Great Quinn Empire was a dictator.
No one could talk him out of whatever he thought was right.
When he was in a bad mood, there would be a massive massacre.
His ministers were angry but no one dared say a word.
Even the maids who served him had to be extremely careful.
Any slight carelessness would end in severe punishment.
Since Spencer became the Emperor of the Great Quinn Empire, he had changed many batches of maids.
How could someone like that win the hearts of the people?
In fact, many were happy when he contracted this illness more than a year ago.
However, no one dared express it.
Once Spencer has passed, there would be many people celebrating his death in secret.
I am a quadrillionarire chapter 2667-Spencer's face was filled with expectation, but every person in the room held onto their own, but different, hopes.
David gave a small smile. "Of course, I can! A minor curse like that is easy for me to deal with."
Spencer immediately got worked up when he heard David’s reply. The few elderly doctors kneeling on the ground were excited as well.
They were almost crying.
There was no need to die. They were finally saved.
The ministers, maids, and even Leticia, who was beside David, were not particularly pleased.
Leticia did not wish for Spencer to continue living.
She had brought Zion here to inherit the throne of the Great Quinn Empire.
If Spencer was cured, there would be nothing to inherit!
As a citizen of the Great Quinn Empire, Leticia was aware of Spencer's reputation.
She had no idea why her older sister would have a child with a man like that.
Leticia would never want to stay in and live with such a man, nor did she want to have anything to do with him.
Besides, there was another problem.
If Spencer was cured and had a few more sons, Zion's position would be greatly threatened.
For all of these reasons, Leticia wanted to ask David not to cure the Emperor.
However, she could not say this out loud in front of Spencer, unless she was seeking death.
From what she had seen of David, Leticia did not doubt that he would be able to cure Spencer.
"Young… Young man! No, doc… Doctor! Please… Please help me undo the curse. I can give you anything you want if you can undo the curse on me. I can give you money, women, and even status. You'll rule over all and be subject only to me in the Great Quinn Empire from now on," Spencer began rambling.
He was quite agitated.
Spencer had finally found hope.
He had changed batches and batches of doctors, but no one could find the cause of his illness.
Spencer had never thought the cause would have been revealed by this mysterious young man.
The most important thing about this was that he claimed that he could cure this illness.
It did not matter if David was telling the truth.
Spencer was willing to believe it because he had no other choice.
After all, this was the only hope he found in this past year.
"Don't get so excited! Calm down! I'm not done with my words! I can undo your curse, but why should I?" David smiled.
Urm….
Spencer’s agitated expression suddenly froze on his face.
He looked at David incredulously.
What did he just say?
Did he say he was unwilling to cure the Emperor?
Who would dare disobey his orders in the Great Quinn Empire?
Did he mishear it?
Spencer was stunned and had no idea what to do.
The others were looking at David in disbelief as well.
What did the young man mean?
Was he tired of living?
He could undo the curse but refused to.
Was that not asking for death?
He might as well have said he did not know how to cure the Emperor!
Didav did not care whether they understood his behavior. Someone of his stature had no reason to put up any pretenses with the people he faced.
There was no need to pretend.
I am a quadrillionarire chapter 2668-He would just say whatever he wanted.
Be free with his thoughts!
So what if he was the Emperor of the Great Quinn Empire? David could choose not to help him. What could the Emperor do to David?
"Doc… Doctor! Can you at least tell me why you refuse to help me with the curse?" Spencer calmed down and asked him politely.
Someone like Spencer would have immediately ordered David to be locked up after hearing those words. He would then force David to undo the curse after torturing him for a bit.
However, Spencer did not do that after giving it some thought.
He was worried David would harbor hatred for him while conducting the treatment and hurt him instead. That would be a huge mistake.
"The reason is simple! I heard your conversation when I came here and know what kind of ruler you are. You carelessly decide the life and death of others, and kill the innocent when you're in a bad mood. It’s not too much of me to call you a tyrant. If I saved you, I might end up being the one responsible for all the deaths you cause next.
Saving you might end up hurting more people. I can't do something like that. You should just give up," David replied coldly.
David spoke as he thought.
Spencer's expression turned increasingly dark.
He had been the Emperor of the Great Quinn Empire for many years, superior to everyone.
All who met him showed him the greatest respect.
This was the first time someone had called him a tyrant to his face.
"You… Are… Calling… Me… A… Tyrant?" Spencer sputtered those words slowly.
He stared at David.
"Isn’t it true? Isn’t it what a tyrant does when he kills the innocent without regard just because he is in a bad mood? I’m being nice when I say you're a tyrant. The fact is, you're just a muddle-headed degenerate who has no morals. You should be grateful that I didn't kill a bad man like you, and you still expect me to help you undo your curse? You must be dreaming." David did not hold back as he said all this to Spencer's face.
He had heard every word Spencer said. The Emperor wanted to kill the doctors just because they could not cure him.
How was that right?
If Spencer had been a good ruler who strove for his people’s well-being and prosperity, David would have helped him with the curse.
It was an easy feat.
However, he was a lousy ruler who was cruel at heart. This was karma. He should be left to deal with this on his own!
"How… Dare… You… Call… Me… A… Degenerate!" There was hate in Spencer's eyes as he glared with clenched teeth at David.
"So what if I called you a degenerate? If not for you being already bedridden and immobilized, I would have rendered you paralyzed." David was not intimidated by the murderous look in Spencer's eyes.
Who would be afraid of an ant that he could easily pinch to death?
"Good! Very good!!!"
Spencer shouted toward the people outside the door." Men!!!"
Guards in heavy armor quickly entered the room.
"What do you need, Your Majesty?"
"Arrest this rascal. I want him to know the consequences of undermining and humiliating me," Spencer ordered.
"Yes, Your Majesty!!!"
The guards immediately went forward to catch hold of David.
Zion, who was standing next to David, grabbed tightly onto Leticia’s hand. He was feeling nervous.
Leticia patted his arm gently to calm him down.
After witnessing David's amazing abilities, Leticia was not worried about him at all.
She was not an inexperienced lady.
Who was David?
He was the legendary interstellar traveler!!!
This was a man who traveled through the galaxy.
How could a mere Emperor of the Great Quinn Empire do anything to him?
Everyone knew the dangers of the Universe. One minor mistake, and you would not even have a corpse left.
Without certain abilities, traveling through the Universe would be equivalent to death.
It was evident that David had been an interstellar traveler for quite a while.
Passing by Planet Brechen was just a coincidental stopover for him as he was looking for someone to have a chat with.
Leticia felt very lucky.
It was fortunate that she had met David. Otherwise, she and Zion would have been dead by now.
I am a quadrillionarire chapter 2669-When the heavily armored guards were about two to three meters away from David, an invisible shield suddenly blocked them from moving forward.
In the end, they had no choice but to take out their weapons and swing them at the invisible shield.
It was like punching on cotton. The effort was useless.
Everyone in the room saw what happened.
To be accurate, everyone's gaze had remained on David the moment he appeared.
This was a protected location within the palace of the Great Quinn Empire. One could describe it as the most heavily guarded place in the empire.
No ordinary person could enter this place quietly without being noticed by the guards outside.
In addition, David had blatantly called Spencer Quinn, the Emperor of the Great Quinn Empire, a muddleheaded ruler.
This astonished everyone.
If Spencer was not ill, he would have noticed all this.
However, he had been tortured by this curse for more than a year and had long lost his ability to think clearly.
All he could think about was how to continue living.
When he saw hope, he went all out to grab it.
Spencer only wanted to catch hold of David and get him to undo the curse.
He did not even consider if this could be done or not.
There was a possibility that, in his subconscious mind, there was nothing the Emperor of the Great Quinn Empire could not do.
'Your Majesty, there is something strange about this person. We are unable to get near him," the leader of the guards declared loudly.
Spencer had noticed this as well.
He stared at David. Spencer knew that David was very powerful and his guards were no match for him. Spencer used all of his strength to wave them off and said, "Back down! There is nothing you can do to him."
'Yes, Your Majesty!" The guards stepped away.
Spencer took a deep breath to suppress his anxiety. He asked, "Who exactly are you? Why do you insist on going against me?” "Am I going against you? I think I’m giving you a great deal of help. You should be grateful to me. Isn't this your son?! He'll inherit your throne after you die and become the Emperor of the Great Quinn Empire. I believe he would be nothing like you and won't become a tyrant. This is best for everybody." David pulled Zion in front of him while speaking.
"I can't die! I'm still young. I have so many ambitions I have yet to achieve. I can’t die now," Spencer roared.
"But you have to! No one can undo your curse besides me, and I'm not about to help a tyrant ruler," David smiled and rebutted immediately.
"No, no, no! I can't die! I'm the Emperor of the Great Quinn Empire. I have absolute control of the army. I can't die. You have to save me. No, you must save me. Otherwise, don't even think about being able to leave the palace of the Great Quinn Empire," Spencer shouted crazily.
David's words had agitated him.
It was as David had said: he was destined to die if David did not save him.
Spencer could feel his body degenerating every day. Life was flowing out of him. If this continued, he would die in less than a year.
As a man who once stood at the peak of the Great Quinn Empire, he was not prepared to end his life just like that.
"Are you threatening me? Do you think I won’t be able to leave when I manage to come in here without the guards noticing? What a joke. Would you believe it if I told you that even if I were to walk out just like that, your men wouldn't be able to get near me?" David smiled nonchalantly.
'You… Pfft…"
Spencer pointed at David. His anger got to him, and Spencer threw up blood. There was black mist mingled in his blood, clearly a mark of the curse.
I am a quadrillionarire chapter 2670-Spencer's condition worsened after throwing up blood.
"Alright! I’ve said everything I need. Be a good boy and follow the course of your destiny. Hand over your throne as the Emperor of the Great Quinn Empire after your death!
This would be best for everyone. Haven’t you seen the looks in your minsters' eyes? They are hoping for your death, but no one is brave enough to say a word due to your perverted use of power," David sneered.
"You…" Spencer was so angry that he could not say another word.
David ignored Spencer and turned to look at Leticia.
"Madam Chandler, I've got you safely to the Palace. It’s time for me to leave. Whatever comes next is your personal family issues. I shouldn't interfere with that."
"Thank you for escorting Zion and me here, Master David. If it weren't for you, we would have been killed during our journey. We will never forget what you have done for us.
Please accept my gratitude!"
Leticia knelt in front of David as she spoke.
Zion, who was at her side, immediately followed suit when he saw Leticia kneeling.
However, before their knees could touch the ground, a force pushed them upright, preventing them from completing their kneeling.
"You are too kind, Madam Chandler. I've mentioned before that I was simply here to chat with someone out of boredom. It was fate that brought us together. This suggests that you and Zion are not fated to die just yet," David remarked.
"Zion and I would like to show our appreciation, no matter what, Mr. David!"
'Thank you for saving us, Dave. I will never forget this," Zion thanked him obediently.
"Alright! I'll accept your thanks. Maybe one day we'll meet again.” David prepared to leave after saying goodbye.
He would be continuing his journey toward the level 9 civilization Leila.
This living planet and all its inhabitants were just passersby in his life.
Spencer watched as David was about to leave.
If David left, no one would be able to lift the curse on him. Death would be the only thing waiting for Spencer. He began to panic.
Just as David turned to leave, Spencer could not help stopping him. "Wait!!!"
David turned to look at Spencer.
"What is it? If you’re still thinking about getting me to undo your curse, you should save it. I’ve said before that I won’t help a tyrant ruler. This would only cause more deaths and it would be all my fault. I'm not looking forward to having that pinned on me."
"Doctor! If you can help me undo the curse, I, Spencer Quinn, swear to never simply kill another person again. I will also ensure that I will rule the Great Quinn Empire well and give my citizens a happy and secure life. Please give me a chance to change for the better, Doctor," Spencer said seriously.
He had finally given in.
As long as he could continue living.
He was willing to do anything.
Despite that, Spencer was unwilling to admit that he was a tyrant ruler.
However, if David claimed he was one, he would accept it. All he needed to do was to change, right?
David smiled when he heard this.
'Those words do sound like music to my ears."
Spencer was delighted to hear David say that.
Would that mean… There was hope?
However, David's next words plunged him into despair.
"However, I remember the saying that a leopard never changes its spots. I won't believe you no matter how sweet you're making it sound. It's almost impossible for one to completely change their personality. Even if you manage to keep it up for a while, you won't be able to keep it up for a lifetime. You'll regress to your original self very soon. Since I have no time to watch over you, you should just… Wait for your death!"
