Chapter 111

Her husband Yousef had also persuaded her to go to a hospital in the city and have her back checked out, but she never agreed.

Naturally, she would not agree now either.

“Aunt Sally, I know you don’t want to spend money, but don’t worry. I’m already making money now, so let’s get you treatment, and let me lighten your burdens from now on!” David urged.

“You’re just a university student, so what kind of money are you making? I’m telling you, Dave, you better focus on your studies and don’t even think about getting involved in any illegal businesses! Otherwise how will you explain yourself to your parents? How will you explain yourself to me and your Aunt Diana?” Sally lectured Dave solemnly. “Aunt Sally, I really didn’t do anything bad! Don’t you know me? You watched me grow up!” David refuted with a wry smile.

The reason why he kept his wealth a secret from Aunt Sally before was that he did not want her to overthink.

He had originally planned to let Lily reveal his wealth slowly, but he did not expect that she would be too afraid to tell her mom.

He had no other choice now but to come clean.

Sally did not believe him, and she refused to go to River City for treatment no matter how David persuaded her.

She did not change her mind even when Yousef and Lily joined in trying to persuade her.

There was nothing else David could do but tell Aunt Sally, “My car is downstairs. If you don’t believe me, how about we go and take a look?” In the end, with everyone’s help, Sally arrived downstairs and saw David’s Benz G-Class.

Sally, Yousef, and Jacey’s eyes widened in surprise when they saw the luxurious G-Wagon. They were too shocked to say anything. Lily, however, was impassive to the three-million-dollar G-Wagon since she had seen David’s eighty million Bugatti Veyron.

Not to mention that she still had a hundred million that David transferred to her in her bank card. Though her family might faint in shock if she told them about it.

Yousef was rather knowledgeable, so he knew that this expensive-looking G-Wagon had to cost at least a million dollars.

He knew that David must have achieved quite a fair bit of success to be able to afford such an expensive car.

He was happy that David had achieved great things since he was like a son to Yousef.

David had lived in his house for two years, and Yousef had treated David with respect.

As a classic Benz model, the G-Wagon was a dream car for many men.

Even Jacey was dazed.

He could only dream of owning such a nice car

It was too awesome and cool-looking

He could imagine how envious his classmates would be if he drove it to school.

Since the car belonged to David, he knew he would have the chance to drive it one day.

“Dave! This is your car?” Sally asked, snapping back to reality. “It is, Aunt Sally! I promise, this is my car, and I did not buy it with any dirty money,” David swore.

“You’re just a university student. How did you earn so much money?” Sally still refused to believe him.

“It’s a long story, I can explain that to you another day, Aunt Sally. Let’s go and get your treatment first. Get in.”

Sally did not insist anymore. To her, David was like her oldest son. She had the right to enjoy the benefits her son brought her now that he was successful.

With that, Sally climbed into the car thanks to David and Yousef’s help.

David had called Wayne and Gavin and told them to go rest in a hotel.

After all, they had not gotten much sleep the previous night.

David planned to drive Aunt Sally and the others to River City himself.

After Aunt Sally recovered, he would return and deal with Bobby and Quin.

Chapter 112

David drove off with Jacey sitting exceptionally excited in the passenger seat beside him.

Sally, her husband, and her daughter sat in the back seat.

There was a reason this luxury car was worth three million. If it was any other car, Sally might have felt very uncomfortable due to her sprained back.

However, the G-Wagon did not jostle at all as it drove smoothly and comfortably on the road.

On the way to the hospital, David gave Charles a call and asked him to put in a word to River City Hospital to prepare for their arrival. David and the others arrived at River City Hospital at two pm the same day.

The Director of River City Hospital, Tom Lake, had already been waiting for a while when they arrived. Mr. Luther had put in a word for David, so he did not dare to make the latter wait.

“Mr. Lidell, we meet again!” Director Tom immediately went up to greet David when he saw the other alight the car.

“I’ll have to trouble you again, Dr. Lake,” David said politely.

“You’re too polite, Mr. Lidell! It’s our job.”

The two shared a polite conversation as they brought Sally to get an expert’s consultation.

At four pm, Sally went for surgery.

While Sally was in surgery, David went to check on Paul and told the man to focus on recovering before anything else.

It was almost five by the time the surgery ended.

The hospital had originally planned to admit Sally to the best hospital room there was, but Sally did not want to stay at the hospital. David had no choice but to fetch her to South River International Residence. 1 ‘Amelia should have gone home by now, right?

‘It’s going to be a huge misunderstanding if she’s still there.’ Thankfully, Amelia had left by the time they arrived at South River International Residence.

David let out a silent sigh of relief.

He made another call to Golden Leaf Hotel and asked them to send food over to South River International Residence since Aunt Sally was still injured and should not be moving around too much.

Golden Leaf Hotel was an eight-star hotel that did not do deliveries, but since this was the chairman’s request, the hotel had no other choice but to deliver it if they did not want to get fired. –

Sally and her family were shocked when they entered South River International Residence.

They did not understand how a third-year university student like David could afford such expensive housing

They could not imagine how much housing like this would cost in River City. They did not know whether it was a few million, or ten times that price.

They had never dared to imagine that they would one day get to live in a house so luxurious.

Jacey was jumping in excitement. He treated David’s house like his own, considering that he had been sharing a room with David for two years. He just jumped into the swimming pool upstairs and started bathing there. “Aunt Sally, Uncle Yousef, you can rest and recover here. Make yourselves at home,” David told Sally and Yousef.

“Dave, is this your house?” Sally asked.

“Mhmm.”

“Tell me the truth, where did you get so much money?”

“I earned it from a business I started with my classmate,” David replied. “Really?”

“You have to trust me, Aunt Sally! I really didn’t do anything illegal,” David replied exasperatedly.

“But…” Sally still wanted to insist but Yousef interrupted her. “Stop, Dave isn’t a child anymore. He’s an adult, he can make his own decisions. I trust Dave,” Yousef interrupted. Sally did not ask anymore after hearing her husband’s remark.

“Aunt Sally, Uncle Yousef, since you already know about my situation, I hope that you’ll agree to move over to River City. Jace can also receive better education here.”

Sally and her husband shared a look. It sounded like a good idea.

Jacey was usually seen with some questionable friends in Shu City.

There was no controlling that boy, nor did he show any desire to study well.

The fact that he got into high school was thanks to Yousef running around and treating a few people to dinner. Now, not only did he owe these people a favor, but he had spent quite a bit of money as well. If they moved to River City, a new environment might incentivize Jacey to direct his energy to do well in his studies. Not to mention that education in the city would surely be much better than what Shu City could provide.

Chapter 113

They were now most worried about their youngest son.

“Dave, I know that you’re successful now, but we’ve lived in Shu City for decades. Your uncle’s job is in Shu City, we don’t know what to do here.”

“Aunt Sally, all you guys need to do is move here, and you won’t have to work. If you truly feel like you want to do something, I can find you some easier work that will let you keep an eye on Jace at the same time.

What do you think?” David asked.

“Mom, Dad, just go with Dave’s plan! Jace is going to end up a delinquent if he keeps surrounding himself with those people back home.

If not for yourselves, then at least think of Jace!” Lily persuaded.

“I… Let us think more about this,” Sally replied after a while. “Alright, then. I do hope that you’ll agree, though. You did a lot for me, and it’s time I repay you. Plus, I own a hotel but there’s no one I trust to take care of it. I was hoping you could help me manage it.”

“You opened a hotel?”

“Yeah. I’ve been employing someone outside to help me manage it since I have school and no time to spare. So, I thought you could come and help me manage it, lest someone decides to mess with the accounts.” David did not care if the hotel made a profit or not. In fact, he wished for the hotel to make a loss, since that would earn him more lavish points.

He had only offered hotel management so that Aunt Sally and Uncle Yousef would move to the city.

He also wanted to persuade Aunt Diana and her family to move here as well.

David was never stingy with the people who were nice to him. Nor would he go soft on those who treated him badly.

Like his Uncle Bobby, for example.

He did not care about the two million. If he was being honest, David still would not care if it was twenty billion dollars.

He just did not want Bobby’s family to live luxuriously with his parents’ hard-earned money.

Thus, he was going to get that money back no matter what.

Just then, David’s phone rang.

Golden Leaf Hotel’s delivery had arrived.

David called the property staff and asked them to let the deliverymen in.

The property staffs’ motto when it came to wealthy residents like David was to fulfill all requests and do everything they could not to offend these residents, so the doorbell rang soon after.

David went to open the door.

Around a dozen good-looking servers entered the house with a plate of food in their hands.

Both Sally and Yousef were stunned by the sight. They were too shocked by everything that had happened today.

They wondered if this was how all wealthy people lived.

The table was filled with exquisite delicacies with aromatic scents that were pleasing to look at and smell.

David went upstairs to call Jacey for dinner only to find the latter playing happily in the pool.

“Dave! Can I drop by often and use your pool?” Jacey asked as he climbed out.

“If you can persuade your parents to move over to River City, I’ll let you live in my house,” David replied with a smile.

“Really?” Jacey exclaimed. “When have I ever lied to you?”

“Alright! I’ll definitely persuade them! Then I can swim here every day!” Sally and her family enjoyed the meal immensely. It was immensely delicious.

They had never eaten something so delicious in their entire lives. “Aunt Sally! This is food from my hotel. If you can help me watch over it, I promise you that you’ll get to eat it every day!” David tempted. “Mom! Let’s just move here, then! I want to study here!” Jacey piped up as well. He did not want to go back anymore, not when he could eat nice food and swim all day in River City. Sally and Yousef shared a look.

“Alright! We’ll move here.”

“Great! Then I’ll contact schools for Jace tomorrow.” “Dave! Can’t we wait a few days?” Jacey asked.

“No.” Sally, Yousef, and Lily collectively replied.

Chapter 114

The next day, David gave Sandy a call and asked her to arrange for Jacey’s high school admission. He planned to enroll him in the same one she was attending.

David’s hands were tied. He might be wealthy, but he had yet to build his own powers. His name was only well known among the SCC and T

Faction.

Ordinary people did not know him, and therefore had no reason to do as he requested.

As the second daughter of the Luther family, enrolling a student was pretty easy.

Within a few minutes, she informed David that Jacey was already administered and could come to attend classes.

Thus, David drove Jacey to River City High.

River City High was a renowned academy for wealthy children in South River Province. Despite being a private school, its teachers were experienced and very capable. Not to mention that with the Luther family supporting its operations, River City High had a very notable reputation in South River Province.

There were two kinds of students in this high school. Those who had outstanding grades and earned themselves a scholarship great enough to pay for their school fees, dorm fees, and living costs with extra allowance, or students from extremely wealthy families.

Sandy was already waiting for them when David brought Jacey over to River City High.

David was stunned when he first saw Sandy. He could not believe her eyes.

Sandy, who was still dressed like a delinquent two nights ago, had completed changed her look.

Her afro hairstyle was combed into twin tails, and her hooped earrings as well as heavy makeup were nowhere to be seen.

Donned in a short-skirt school uniform, the lady before David looked

like a pretty little girl!

Sandy was seventeen this year, studying her second year in River City High. However, because of her short height, she looked like a little girl around fifteen to sixteen years old.

Not even Sandy’s parents, grandfather, or her brother Charles recognized Sandy, let alone David.

They even suspected that something detrimental must have occurred to Sandy, which would explain not only the change in the way she dressed but also the fact that she stopped cursing as much.

Charles even asked Sandy the reason for this a few times, but she did not tell him anything.

Naturally, Sandy would not tell them that she had only changed because David told her to.

She definitely would not tell the teachers in school the reason either.

The fact that the Luther family’s fiend in human form had changed into an obedient lady shocked all the teachers in school.

“Dave? What’s wrong? Do you not recognize me anymore?” Sandy reached out to wave her hand before David’s face.

David snapped back to reality and replied, “Very good! It’s a huge change, I almost didn’t recognize you. But it’s good, you’re looking more like a student now!”

“That’s good, then! I’ll listen to whatever you say from now on, Dave!” Sandy walked over and chuckled as she wrapped herself around David’s arm.

David felt a little uncomfortable with Sandy’s actions. She was just a seventeen-year-old lady, and contact with some particular body parts was inevitable when she hugged him like that.

Maybe she just treats me as her brother!’ David told himself.

What he did not know, however, was that the last time Sandy hugged anyone like this was with her brother Charles before she started middle school.

David was the first person to experience such a privilege.

Fortunately, classes for the day had begun or other students would surely be dazed to see Sandy, the fiend in human form, hug another man’s arm so intimately.

At the same time, Jacey felt his soul freeze the moment he saw Sandy.

His heart started to race, and his blood started pumping faster.

Every organ within him felt like it was running at incredible speeds.

He had never felt this feeling before in all sixteen years of his life. At the age where he was confused, he felt utterly shocked when he saw Sandy, a girl around his age, yet already so exceptional.

All it took was a moment for Sandy to capture his heart. However, he quickly hid his thoughts when he saw Sandy act so intimately toward David.

“Sandy! Let me introduce you, this is my cousin, Jacey Greg!”

“Jacey, this is Sandy! Uh… my good friend’s younger sister.”

David introduced them to each other. “Hello, I’m Sandy!”

Chapter 115

Sandy kept one arm around David’s and reached out the other as she introduced herself to Jacey.

“Oh! H-Hi! l-I’m… I’m Jace, Jacey!” Jacey introduced himself with a stutter.

Then he quickly reached out to shake Sandy’s hand. Their palms touched, and that was enough for Jacey’s cheeks to flush red.

Sandy did not realize any anomaly with Jacey’s introduction and released her hand after shaking his. All her thoughts were on David.

David turned to look at Jacey when he heard him stutter.

He realized that something was wrong. Not only was Jacey blushing, but he stuttered as well. He looked like he had a crush.

David then glanced at Sandy. Her short-skirted school uniform and delicate features made her blossom with youthful energy. It was a stark difference from the Sandy he saw in Fuller Golden Sands two nights ago.

Indeed, her appearance would be extremely attractive for boys like Jacey who were in their confused stage of puberty.

David then decided that he would find time to talk to the boy. After all, Sandy was not an easy person to crush on. It would do Jacey some good to give up on Sandy as soon as possible, lest he ends up battered and torn. ‘Sigh. First love, huh!’

David’s first love that he had maintained for four years had left him in a pool of his own blood.

“I already put in a word with the school, Dave! So just bring your cousin to the administration desk and he’ll be enrolled,” Sandy said. “Thank you, Sandy,” David thanked politely. “Stop being so courteous with me, Dave!” Sandy argued, cheeks puffed up in displeasure. “Uh, alright, alright.” David raised his other hand to ruffle the top of Sandy’s head.

“Yeah! Let’s go, Dave!”

Sandy dragged David after her, enjoying the way he doted on her, while Jacey followed quietly behind them.

Sandy directly brought David to River City High’s logistics office and within ten minutes, Jacey’s enrollment procedures were completed.

Jacey was then brought to his class by the staff in the office.

Meanwhile, Sandy followed David to the school entrance.

“Go to class, Sandy!”

“When are you coming to my house, Dave?” Sandy asked, reluctant to leave.

“Not so soon. I’m a little busy these days, I’ll go visit once I’ve settled everything,” David replied after some thought.

“Alright, then. You have to come once you’re free, okay?”

“Yeah, I will, I will.”

“Then I’ll be going to class now, Dave! Bye-bye!”

“Bye. Pay attention to class and study well.”

“I will!”

Sandy then walked back towards the school buildings, though she turned to look at David every few steps.

David got into his car. However, the more he thought about Sandy’s behavior, the more he realized that something was wrong.

‘No way, she can’t possibly have gotten a crush on me, right?

‘She might have, actually!

‘Or else why would she change her appearance the moment I told her to?

‘She didn’t change when her family told her to.

‘What do I do now?

I mean yeah, I know I’m handsome and strong, wealthy, and successful…

‘I guess I left a deep impression with her by saving her when she was in extreme danger and feeling hopeless?

‘This feeling should pass after a while, right?’ Thus, David decided that he would minimize contact with her from then on.

Chapter 116

Capital City!

Inside a quiet courtyard.

An old man and a young man were playing chess.

The old man looked like he was in his 70s or 80s.

Despite his age and a head full of silver hair, he still had a youthful-looking face and was in high spirits. H e looked transcendental or ethereal, with no signs of aging.

The young man was younger, although he was at least thirty years old.

Not very young, but younger, nonetheless.

“You’re getting better and better at chess, Stan!” The old man said cheerfully.

“Still not as well as you, Mr. J!” Stan replied modestly. The young man was Stan Warner, one of the Ts from Capital City’s T

Faction.

Stan Warner was known not only among the younger generation, but he was also famous among the older generation.

“Stan, chess is like life. You have to move when to take the proper move. When it’s time to take one step forward, you take one step forward, and when it’s time to take one step back, you do the same! move, you have to move. But lately, I’ve noticed that you’ve been hesitating,” The old man said.

“You’re right, Mr. J. I’ve been a bit confused lately!”

“It’s because the ten-year pact that the three of you made back then is coming to a close, right? The Lovewoods’ little girl is finally coming back after ten years.”

“Mr. J, my brothers and I used to be super close, but we ended up having a falling out because of a girl. It was so bad that we don’t talk anymore. I always wonder if I should’ve done things differently!”

“A damsel who’s beautiful inside out and a gent of virtues are meant for each other. As the saying goes, even the king would skip his morning meetings for his fair maiden. Besides, that Lovewood girl is really quite the lady. You shouldn’t worry too much about it. Just follow what your heart tells you.”

“Yes, of course, Mr. J. I’ll remember that!” At that moment, Stan’s phone rang.

It was Zachary calling and saying that he wanted to meet him!

Zachary had just come back to Capital City after doing some business in North River Province.

Stan had heard about what Zachary did in River City, but all of those were just rumors, and nothing was better than hearing it from Zachary himself.

Since Zachary returned from his trip to North River, Stan also wanted to know what exactly had happened to him in River City.

Seeing that the ten-year pact about Lorraine was coming to a close, of course he had to watch that powerful person that had suddenly appeared in the SCC closely.

They agreed to meet at their usual place, The Great Wall Club. The Great

Wall Club was one of the top three clubs in Capital City and was a gathering place for all the famous people in Capital City, and was also T Faction’s headquarters.

“Mr. J, I have something I need to do now, so I got to go. I’ll visit you again next time.”

“Alright, off you go! It’s time for you youngsters to go after your future.

There’s no need to waste your time on an old man like me.” When Stan arrived at The Great Wall Club, everyone who saw him nodded at him and greeted him.

As he pushed open the private room on the top floor, he found Zachary already waiting inside. “T-man!” When Zachary saw Stan coming in, he stood up and greeted him.

“Zachary, tell me everything!” Stan told Zachary after sitting down.

“T-man, I went to North River Province for business and stopped by River City to ask Howard about Luna, and also to see her, but Charles found out about it…”

Zachary told Stan everything that happened, down to the very detail. “Eh? Are you telling me that David has someone who can fight Mac and he himself is also extremely strong?”

“Yes! He held my sword with two fingers and shattered it with a snap of his fingers. Mac told me that even he couldn’t do that! Mac suspects that he’s at least at a peak Tiger Ranker, or even… higher!” Crush!

The cup in Stan’s hand was crushed into pieces!

‘He’s a peak Tiger Ranker? Or even higher?’ Naturally, he knew what that meant!

According to Zachary, for David to have such talent that he could reach this point at twenty-something years old was incredibly rare.

If that was the case, that would mean that David was definitely the heir to the hidden aristocratic family.

Moreover, he was probably the first heir too.

‘How did Clinton get such a powerful helper at the last moment of the ten-year pact?!’ River City.

After David sent Jacey off to school at River City High, he went to the Golden Leaf Hotel.

After that, he called Wayne and Gavin, who was in Shu City, to come back on their own.

He was not planning to go back to Shu City yet because he needed to wait for Aunt Sally to be back on her feet and go back to deal with the move. At the same time, he had to get his parents’ compensation money back from Bobby as well.

‘l also need to see if I can persuade Aunt Diana to move her family to River City as well.’

David had just taken a short nap in his office when he was woken up by a call.

When he picked up the phone, he immediately heard Hugh’s voice. “Dave! Have you already forgotten me?! How could you not have kept in touch with me all this while?!”

“It’s not like that, Hugh! I’ve been quite busy lately and I haven’t had any time to spare! I promise I’ll visit Lake City when I find the time!” David replied.

“I know you’ve been busy. Everyone in the SCC knows all about your recent achievements! I didn’t know you kept such deep secrets about yourself! I can’t believe that you threw Zachary, one of the eight great fighters of T Faction, out of River City pathetically,” said Hugh.

He really did not expect David to be so powerful.

This was even though Bill told Hugh that David was the heir of the hidden aristocratic family when Hugh sold the Golden Leaf Hotel to David. Even so, there was a hierarchy to the heirs of the hidden aristocratic family, with some larger families having three or four heirs.

The treatment of each heir was different, from the first heir to the third heir or even the fourth heir

Initially, they thought that at most, David was a second heir, but after

David showed what he was made o f, everyone was certain that the strength he possessed was definitely something only a first heir could obtain, and that he was most likely from some powerful family. A man with a status like that was comparable to the big three SCC bosses. He was also extremely glad that he had maintained a good relationship with David.

Now that he saw what David was capable of, he confirmed that it was indeed a wise move for him to introduce David into the SCC. After everyone found out about what David did, he received the boss’s affirmation, whichwas the final piece of the puzzle before he took over the Greenes.

“Oh, you flatter me, Hugh!” David said modestly.

“I’m not flattering you. There really aren’t many people in the SCC who can stand up to Zachary, let alone drive him back to the North with his tail between his legs… Oh yeah, are you in River City now? There’s someone who wants to meet you!” “Who?” David asked.

“Come find out!”

“Sure. I’ll be around River City anyway.” “I’ll contact you again when we decide when to meet!” David hung up the phone and began to ponder deeply.

Now that everyone was seeing what he was made of, he was also starting to meet some of the big names.

Even so, he felt that he was not strong enough, that he had not built enough influence yet, and that he was not powerful enough.

He knew that he had to find a way to spend more money. ‘Why hasn’t Miss Pearl made a move yet? She’s been there for quite some time now.

‘Doesn’t she know how to spend money?

‘Sigh!

David had never imagined that there would be a day when he would have trouble spending money!

Chapter 117

In the afternoon.

David contacted Jenny, the saleswoman at South River International Residence. He asked her if there were still any units left in South River International Residence.

He was going to buy one for Aunt Sally and one for Aunt Diana before getting them a job at the Golden Leaf Hotel. Even if they had no skills, getting an easy job and giving them a few hundred thousand buckst o a million bucks a year would be enough for them to spend on whatever they wanted so that they would b e able to get a foothold in River City. Naturally, Jenny was overjoyed. She had just gotten millions from David only a short while ago, with the amount of money in commission she made being something she had never imagined she would ever have.

And now he’s buying another place from us again?

‘He’s some big shot!

‘What a freaking rich man!’

David went to the sales department to view the place with Jenny.

When he visited again, he stirred up some painful memories for the other salesladies.

They remembered how David stood in the lobby of the showroom for a few minutes and no one came forward to serve him. Instead, Jenny, the new girl, went up and reaped the benefits of it.

She earned millions in commission!

The thought of it made them so devastated that they could not breathe.

As soon as they saw David this time, those salesladies started to scramble and surround him.

“Sir! What can I do for you?”

“Sir! Are you looking to buy a house? I’m free to accompany you for viewing anytime!”

“Sir, here’s my card! If you need anything, just contact me anytime!

Anytime at all!”

“Um!!! Excuse me, girls! I’ve already made an appointment with Miss Jenny!” David squeezed out of the crowd after replying to them.

At that moment, Jenny walked over to him with the keys.

“Mr. Lidell! I’ve got the keys. We can go and see the place now! Please, after you!”

The two of them left together.

Everyone in the showroom started talking again.

“I bet that new girl Jenny must be sleeping with him!”

“I know right! Why else would he buy another expensive place from her?” “This girl makes herself up to be so innocent, but she’s actually a little slut! Pfft!”

Even so, anyone could hear the hint of envy and jealousy in the tone of their voice.

There were no more units in Block 1, so David casually looked around and bought one more similar unit each in Block 2 and Block 3 that was worth around 100 million each.

Back in the showroom, David left after paying a ten percent deposit and Jenny her that he would come back a little later to complete the rest of the procedures.

Another two hundred million in sales.

Together with the four hundred million sold last time, the commission Jenny earned from David alone was six freaking million bucks. Even the manager was jealous of her numbers, let alone the rest of her coworkers in sales.

A few of the people in sales were also beating themselves up with regret.

After that, David returned to Block 1, bringing Aunt Sally, Uncle Yousef, and his cousin Lily to see the place.

Although Aunt Sally had just had her operation the day before, her doctor said that she should get some steps in because it was a minor procedure and that she would be fine in around a week.

Chapter 118

After that, David led the three of them to Block

Although their unit could not beat David’s best unit, it still had an extremely luxurious design. After all, it cost a 100 million dollars.

“Dave, why are you bringing us here?” After looking around, Sally asked him.

“Aunt Sally, Uncle Yousef, what do you guys think of this place?”

David did not answer Sally’s question but instead asked them a question of his own.

“Dave, this place is spectacular, of course! But we can’t afford to buy a place like this!” Replied Sally.

Although she did not know the price of the place, she could tell it would not be cheap the moment she saw it. They had only been making ends meet all these years. Where would they get the money to buy a new place? “Aunt Sally, I’ve already bought this place, but I haven’t gone through all the legal procedures yet. All you need to do is bring your ID cards to complete the legal procedures and the place will be yours!”

Sally and Yousef could not believe that David was actually going to give them the place.

Although they had a hunch that David was going to give them the place when he brought them to see it, it was still a shock to them when it actually happened.

Sally quickly said, “What?! Dave, you worked hard to earn your money. We can’t accept this place!” “Yeah, Dave! This place is too expensive, we can’t accept it!” Yousef chimed in from the side. Lily was the only one who stood by the window admiring the view. That place would be her new home from now on. She never would have imagined that she would end up staying in such a luxurious place.

She thought to herself, ‘Since Dave offered, we should just take it!

What’s the point of saying no? He won’t accept our rejectiom anyway.’ Besides, she could not bring herself to tell her parents about the 100 million on her card either!

“Aunt Sally, Uncle Yousef, please accept this gift as a sign of my gratitude. If I hadn’t stayed with you guys and continued living with Bobby last time, I would’ve been constantly abused by him. Who knows?

Perhaps I would’ve grown up to become a twisted person.

“I remember when I first arrived at your place, I always kept to myself and was an extremely cold boy. It was you guys who showed me a family’s love which slowly made me who I am now! Now that I have the means, I want to repay you guys. If you guys don’t accept this gift, I’ll never be able to live with myself.” David said in a low voice.

Indeed, if he had not lived with Aunt Sally’s family for the past two years, he might have dropped out of school and taken a dark path of no return.

When Sally heard what David said, she started to sob quietly.

“Dave, you’ve finally made your mark now. I wish your parents were here to see it. If they were still alive, they’d be overjoyed to see how much you’ve achieved.”

Yousef looked at David and sighed regrettably.

When his wife Sally brought David home, Yousef was initially against it. After all, they already had a son and a daughter, and their family was not very rich. Besides needing to feed another mouth, he had to cover David’s school fees and living expenses too.

However, his wife insisted on it, so he had no choice but to accept. Although he was against it, he did not treat David differently since it was already decided that he was living with them.

Yousef thought that since that was how things turned out, there was no point treating Dave like how his Uncle Bobby treated him. Besides, he had enough enemies.

Yousef would either not let David live with them at all or let him stay with them and treat him the same as he would with his other children.

Luckily, Yousef was a very open-minded person. Typically, other parents with low income would not allow a nephew to stay with them when they already had a son and a daughter to take care of. Since they were at this point now, there was no more room for Sally and her husband to refuse his gift.

After that, David took Yousef to the showroom lobby to complete the legal procedures.

Meanwhile, Sally and Lily waited for them in their new place. The place was furnished luxuriously and had everything they needed. All they needed was to pack up and that would be their home from now on. After completing the legal procedures and paying the one hundred million in full, David got one more lavish point in the system, bringing his total to eighty-one points.

After settling Aunt Sally Sally’s family into their new place, David went to River City High to pick up Jacey and take him to his new place before going back to his home.

Chapter 119

The next day was a Sunday.

David thought that Hugh would contact him, but after waiting all day, he did not receive a call from him.

At night, David received a call from Tara. She told him that she had waited two days for him to call after h e had said he would go to her house that week

David then remembered that he had promised to go to Tara’s place this week, but because of what happened to Aunt Sally, he could not follow his initial schedule and told her that they would have to wait until next time.

In the afternoon David received good news.

Pearl called to say that the team was almost ready because Pearl had managed to catch the attention of quite a number of talents due to the high incentives they offered

David told her to invest in any good projects she saw and not to worry about the money. He even told her t o contact Andy to tell him that there was five billion for him to invest. After all, he had fifty lavish points and he wanted Andy to keep them first

Currently, he badly needed to spend money to get lavish points. He wanted to see if he could level up the system if he had more lavish points because he felt that he had not reached his peak for both his body and mind yet

According to Paul, some recluse masters would still be able to beat him at his current stats.

“How can I accept the fact that I’m not the most invincible person when I’ve cheated?

“Hurry up and level me up now!

‘Otherwise, what’s the use of this system?

After all, God had given him such a good opportunity He could not just waste it He had to make the most of it.

Just like that, another week passed by, and a new week began

Monday

David had classes in the morning

In the afternoon he attended his school’s martial arts club meeting

He went there to learn some secret techniques

Currently, he relied only on his body and mind, which he had leveled up. That meant he only possessed his current strength and reflexes to defend himsell, without knowing any other moves,

He wanted to learn some powerful techniques, or perhaps some martial arts to see if he could improve his combat power

Ever since he careless failed to add the 18 Dragon Taming Punches and got ten lavish points deducted, David no longer dared to add random skills, especially martial arts skills

He did not know if they even existed.

If they did not another ten lavish points would be deducted. He did not have much to begin with.

‘Sigh! I’m so poor!”

He went to one of the buildings in his university which was dedicated to all the clubs and societies.

Of course, clubs and societies had to pay a fee to hold their meetings there, but all the larger clubs were located there.

When David arrived at the martial arts club’s floor, he entered the room and saw a huge hall filled with people. There was at least a few hundred of them. There were both men and women, but the men were the majority, and all of them were sitting on their knees.

David was stunned!

‘Are they having their practice right now?

‘I thought the martial arts club practiced how to fight and stuff?

‘Why are they just sitting there and practicing their breathing?’ However, David took a closer look, he saw the practice had not started because most of them were still chatting with each other.

David found a seat in the last row and sat down.

He nudged a member next to him and asked, “Bro, what are we doing?”

The guys looked at David and asked, “Are you not a member of the martial arts club?”

“Er, well, I just started today and I’m just about to join you guys!”

“Well, you came just in time! Today, we’re going to get a talk by Luna

Shoron, who’s the president of our club and also one of the Three Campus Belles.” ‘Luna Shoron?

‘Isn’t she the most mysterious one out of the Three Campus Belles?

‘She’s the president of the martial arts club?

‘The president of the martial arts club is a woman? ‘You’ve got to be kidding me!

Chapter 120

‘Why hasn’t any of these men risen up?

‘I can’t believe they let a woman rule over them.’

“Hey, bro! Are you telling me that Luna’s the president of the martial arts club? Is she very good?” “Of course! She can beat anyone of us here with just three moves!”

“Is she that fierce? Will she be able to find a husband in the future?”

“Bro, are you kidding? President Shoron is one of the Three Campus Belles! Do you know how long the line is for the people who are chasing her? The line probably reaches all the way to SRMU!” ‘To SRMU?

‘Is he serious?

‘Even if you lined up all the boys in SRU, it doesn’t even reach SRMU!’ After that, David did not ask any more questions.

Instead, he just sat silently.

He wanted to see what this martial arts club president had to say.

Soon after, a fresh and competent-looking young lady with a ponytail dressed in white practice uniform came out from the backstage and walked to the podium. After that, she sat on her knees on floor like everyone else. ‘This must be Luna,’ he thought.

Although David had been a student at SRU for three years, he had always been at his part-time job during all his free time.

He knew that Aunt Sally and Aunt Diana’s family were struggling to make ends meet. By working all the time, he could take some burden off them as well as buy small gifts for Sarah or take her out for some good food once in a while.

That was why he never really knew much about Luna, the most mysterious one out of the Three Campus Belles. The one he knew best was Ava because they always had their classes together.

Although David was sitting in the last row and was a little far from Luna, thanks to his strong eyesight, he could clearly see Luna the moment she came out.

After a visual inspection, he could tell that Luna was at least 5’9″, almost as tall as him, and definitely one of the tallest girls in his university.

She had a delicate oval face, a pair of big eyes, long lashes, and a high nose bridge. Her facial features looked perfectly symmetrical, and she had no make-up on. She was an absolute natural beauty with surprisingly great skin as smooth as glass. It was no wonder she was one of the Three Campus Belles. With her mysteriousness, it was as if she had some type of ethereal aura.

David looked around at all the guys around him with their drool almost dripping out of their mouths.

He wondered if these men were there to learn martial arts or to watch the beautiful Luna.

After that, Luna started speaking from the podium.

“Hello, students!” Her voice was clean and crisp.

“Hello, President!” Hundreds of people shouted.

That startled David.

It sounded like he was listening to a nation’s ruler speaking.

“Today, I’m going to talk to all of you about what martial arts is!

“Martial arts can strengthen your body and also prolong your life!

“I’ve seen a hundred-year-old man who can still walk as if he’s flying.

“This is what I mean by the prolonged lifespan that practicing martial arts will give your physical bodies.

“To be good at martial arts, it starts with cultivating your mind!

“You can only achieve something in the martial arts if you start by putting your mind in the right headspace!

“Of course, if you want to go further in the martial arts, talent is the most important thing!

“Some gifted people can reach unmatched heights that no ordinary people can reach in their lifetime with just three years of training.” “Of course, I’m not trying to discourage all of you. Even if you don’t achieve anything, at least it helps you strengthen your body. “The spirit of martial arts is to control aggression without inflicting injury while the ultimate goal is to take conflict and find a middle ground. “Martial arts is not about violence, nor killing for the sake of killing, nor fighting for the sake of fighting. Instead, it is to quickly stop any killing and fighting, to protect and guard all beings, and to only use if push comes to shove, to be considerate of others, to turn martial arts into part of who you are, and to join heaven and earth in one breath.” After that, she continued to say a bunch of things.

David did not understand a word of what she was saying.

‘What the hell is she talking about?

I’m here to learn techniques, to learn how to fight, and to learn stances.

‘I didn’t come here to listen to you brag and talk.’

After listening to the long *ss talk, he still had not learn anything practical.
