I’m A Quadrillionaire Ch 121-130

List

Chapter 121

It took Luna nearly half an hour before she finished speaking.

The majority of the members in the audience were in a dumbfounded state, just like David.

These male animals had only been attracted here because of the popularity of the Three Campus Belles. A s for learning martial arts? In these times, it was a much safer choice to make money.

David was rather impressed with Luna. She was obviously preaching to deaf ears, but she still managed t o speak with such conviction for such a long time. It was not a feat that any ordinary person could accomplish! “I’ll open the floor for questions now. Feel free to answer any questions you may have, and I will resolve them immediately!” Luna said as she sat down on the podium with her feet crossed.

“President Shoron, I would like to ask, do grandmasters still exist today? Isn’t this something that only appears in television shows and novels?” A male student asked as he stood.

“Grandmasters, in reality, are different from the grandmasters you see on TV or in books. It’s something that you will only be exposed to after you reach a certain level of cultivation in your martial arts training. S o, you wouldn’t understand it even if I explained things to you now,” Luna replied.

“President Shoron, will people like us ever be able to reach a high level of cultivation in our martial arts training?”

“It will be difficult! Martial arts is not something that can be mastered overnight, it requires constant practice from a young age. Even the most talented person will face limits in what can be achieved if they miss out on the best cultivation period.

“President Shoron, I heard a rumor that you and President Jackson, the most handsome guy in SRU, are a couple. Moreover, President Jackson has also put out word that he will not allow any guy to approach you.

May I know if you acknowledge this relationship?” A guy asked bravely.

Everyone present fell silent upon hearing his question. They all wanted to know how Luna would answer this question!

It was obvious that everyone was curious about this.

“Sorry, I will not answer any questions unrelated to martial arts! If there aren’t any other questions, I will b e performing a live demonstration.” The chaotic atmosphere of the venue showed that everyone was not satisfied with Luna’s answer.

Just then, two more people, one male, and one female walked in from the lobby. After hurriedly sweeping their gazes over the room, they walked over to David. The man’s knees buckled together as he knelt beside David.

“Mr. Liddell, I’m sorry, I should not have offended you. I hope you can forgive me and not hold a grudge against me if that’s alright with you? Can you please help put in a good word for me with the Luther family?” Leo pleaded as he knelt next to David.

After offending Sandy on that Friday night, the Luther family had begun attacking all the businesses his parents owned the very next day.

The Luther family was so powerful in River City that all the businesses his family owned became bankrupt almost instantly after their attacks.

None of the connections his parents had gotten in touch with the past two days had been able to do

anything. They did not know yet that it was because their son had offended the daughter of the Luther family

He had not dared to tell his parents the truth either, for he had no idea what his parents would do to him!

However, he had lost everything.

His parents had gone bankrupt, and the bank wanted to collect their debts. Now, almost everything of value in the house was sold. They had even lost their house.

Now, the life his family led was even worse than the life of the beggars on the street. His parents’ hair had gone gray overnight, and they were even considering taking their own lives to solve the problem.

After thinking about it, he determined that, based on Sandy’s respectful attitude to David that night, David was the only person who could save his family.

If David helped him plead to the Luther family for mercy, then his family would no longer be facing a crisis.

Thus, he dragged Sarah along with him to meet David and even made a promise to Sarah. If David agreed to help plead mercy for his family and resolve the crisis they were facing, he would marry her immediately. Honor was no longer important to him. If he could resolve the crisis his family was facing, all he needed t o do was switch schools to continue being the high-and-mighty Leo.

If the crisis could not be resolved, what his family would be facing was a life that not even a beggar would want.

Leo’s kneeling to David upon entering the room piqued the interest of many. Everyone gathered around, trying to figure out what was happening.

“Huh! Isn’t that Leo?” Someone in the hall managed to recognize Leo. Leo was somewhat well-known at South River University. After all, he was a trust fund baby!

He might not be the richest, but he was the most arrogant. ‘Wow! It is

Leo! Is he kneeling before someone in front of so many people? Who’s this person?”

Everyone directed their gaze onto David, wanting to know what sort of person had managed to make Leo get on his knees in public. Leo felt his face burning when he realized he had been recognized. He had never been this humiliated in his entire life.

However, he had no choice. The fate of his entire family was in David’s hands.

“Leo Tate! I didn’t do anything to you, did I? What’s the point in you kneeling before me and begging me?” David said slowly as he stood.

Chapter 122

Now that everyone had gathered around, David had no choice but to stand.

“Mr. Liddell, I was hoping that you could help me plead to the Luther family to show some mercy and let m y family go, if that’s alright?” Leo said.

“The Luther family is attacking you because you offended Sandy. What does that have to do with me? Besides, are we close? Why should I help you?” David asked in reply.

“…” Leo had no idea how to respond to David’s questions.

Were they close?

He had stolen David’s girlfriend from him, humiliated David, caused David to vomit blood, and even posted the pictures onto the campus network and group chats, making David the butt of the faculty’s jokes.

How could they be close?

It would be more accurate to say they were sworn enemies. Sarah gazed at David. He seemed to have turned into an entirely new person ever since they broke up.

In the past, if anyone were to ask who knew David the best, she would definitely be that person. However, she now realized that she did not know David at all.

How could a person’s personality have changed so quickly? Also, David had the means to help Leo’s family? To the point where Leo was willing to kneel and apologize to him?

Had he been keeping it a secret all this while?

Had he been putting their relationship to the test all this while?

Rumor was that some trust fund babies enjoyed disguising themselves as poor guys when searching for true love.

If that was the case!

Then, what had she done?

Had she given up on an extremely well-off trust fund baby who had been keeping his true identity a secret over several pieces of designer clothing and purses?

Moreover, this super-rich guy had loved, taken care of, accommodated, and forgiven her!

In that instant, Sarah felt her mind go blank!

She had lost a forest for a tree.

Leo grabbed Sarah, standing beside him, and pulled her back to reality.

“David! I…” Sarah was just about to speak when David interrupted her. “Sarah, are you trying to help his family plead for mercy as well?” David asked as he stared at Sarah.

“David, I hope that you can help Leo!” Sarah said after mustering up her courage.

She had no choice left.

David had already left her!

If she did not hold on to this last straw, she would be left with absolutely nothing.

“You hope? On what grounds are you basing your hopes? As my ex-girlfriend? As my high school classmate? Or as Leo’s current girlfriend?” David asked mockingly.

It was then that everyone in the audience understood what was going on.

David was the person who had been so angry that he vomited blood after Leo stole his girlfriend from him, and was also the person that Leo had taken pictures of and posted onto the campus network and group chats.

How many days had it been since then?

Now, Leo was kneeling before David?

Begging him for help?

How had the tables turned so quickly? Not even televised dramas would dare do this!

Chapter 123

“David Lindell! I’m begging you, alright? For the sake of our past relationship, can you help me just this once?” Sarah suddenly lowered her voice and began pleading.

Now, if she could get David to help resolve the crisis that Leo’s family was facing, she would be able to marry Leo and live a rich and lavish life.

That had always been a dream of hers.

She had that dream even back when she was with David. However, she had been hesitant to pursue it because of how kindly David treated her.

Otherwise, she would have never banished David to the sidelines when Leo professed his feelings for her.

“Sarah Jensen, you have no right to beg me! Everyone else has the right to beg me, but you don’t! I’ve done so much for you over the years, but I’m nothing compared to a few pieces of designer clothing and purses?

I’ve been blind for so many years, and I won’t be able to help you!

Goodbye!”

David strode off when he finished speaking.

However, Leo grabbed hold of his feet.

“Mr. Liddell, it’s my fault. It was all my fault! Please, help me this one time! You’re the only person who can help me now! My family will be done for if you don’t help me,” Leo sobbed as he clung to David’s feet.

David was his last hope now.

David was just about to kick Leo aside.

Then, another commotion rang out at the entrance.

Immediately, another person walked into the hall, with a large group of people following them in.

The person walking at the very front was Howard Jackson, the president of the SRU student council and the most handsome guy in SRU. He was also Luna Shoron’s official boyfriend.

“Wow! President Jackson is here. I bet he’s here to meet President

Shoron. They’re the faculty’s golden couple!”

“Come on, come on! Let’s go take a look!”

The crowd surrounding David and the others immediately dispersed and ran over to watch Howard and Luna.

David shoved a little harder and managed to push Leo out of the way. Ignoring Leo and Sarah, David also walked over to the crowd to see how Luna would respond.

Everything that had just happened to David and Leo just now had not affected Luna in the slightest.

There were several hundred people in the hall, but only around ten of those people had been watching David and Leo. The majority of them had still been standing around the podium and watching Luna’s live demonstration. On stage.

Luna was giving a live demonstration with an old member of the martial arts club.

It was what everyone had been waiting for.

Because they could get up close to the campus belle However, Howard walked on stage and said to the member, “What did I say? No men are allowed to get close to Luna! Did you think I was joking?” “S- sorry, President Jackson!

I’ll leave right now!”

The member said shakingly.

He had been the first to dash forth when Luna said she needed an opponent because he wanted to get up close to this beautiful lady.

After all, they would be engaging in actual combat!

There would be times when it was inevitable that their bodies would come into contact!

His thoughts were impure as well.

In the past, it was always female members who had taken the stage. However, for some reason, he wanted to try and take advantage of this opportunity today. To be honest, Luna was so beautiful that he was finding it difficult to keep himself under control.

Now that Howard was here, he could not help but feel a little guilty. Besides, Howard was also the president of the student council, and rumor was that he came from a very powerful family. It would not be wise for him to offend him.

“Freeze! Who allowed you to leave?”

Howard called out to the member who was about to leave.

“P- President Jackson! ..”

“Slap!”

The member did not manage to finish speaking before Howard interrupted him with a slap across the face.

“Slap!”

Another slap came soon after.

“Slap! Slap! Slap!”

Howard slapped him across the face five times! He had initially wanted to continue slapping him, but Luna stopped him.

“Howard Jackson, stop it!” Luna shouted.

“Miss Luna! Mr. Zachary Quinn told me to protect you and stop any men from coming near you, but he dared disobey my orders! He deserves to get beaten up!” Jackson said.

Then, he directed a forceful kick onto the member’s body.

That member felt an intense pain in his stomach before he felt his body turn weightless as he flew off the stage.

The stage was more than a foot above the ground. If one were to fall off it, they would at the very least be gravely injured!

Everyone standing nearby immediately ran away when they saw someone flying towards them, terrified that they would end up hurting an innocent person. Only David remained standing where he was. Upon seeing that the member was about to crash onto him, David reached his arms out, grabbed him, and then set him down on the floor firmly.

“Huh?”

Howard turned to look into the audience when he did not hear any cries of pain and then saw that they had been rescued.

Just as he was about to ask who had been so daring, he caught sight of David’s face. His pupils shrank as his heart pounded in panic.

Wasn’t that David Lidell?

He would never forget for the rest of his life what he had experienced on that night at Fuller Golden Sands.

One of the eight great fighters in T Faction, Mr. Zachary Quinn, whom he thought to be one of the most powerful people in the world, had fled back to Capital City with his tails between his legs after suffering a humiliating defeat. Several days had gone by now, but he was still too afraid to even make a peep.

That very person was David, an alumnus of South River University, and the person who had just saved someone’s life while standing offstage. Even Mr. Quinn had not dared come to seek revenge after suffering such a great loss. Did that not mean a minor character like him was about to get squashed like an ant?

What should he do now?

Apologize to him?

But there were so many people here.

If he were to apologize now, he would be destroying the image that he had cultivated for himself at South River University, right? How was he supposed to show his face around here anymore?

Yet, what should he do if he did not apologize and make the other person unleash their anger onto him?

He was someone that not even Mr. Quinn could afford to offend, much less himself!

Whatever! Whatever!

So what if honor was important?

Was was more important than his life?

Besides, this was their territory as well.

A bigshot like him would probably not hold a grudge against someone like him as long as he apologized, right?

After thinking it through.

Howard took several steps forward before he jumped off the stage and walked towards David.

David waved a hand and beckoned the member that Howard had just kicked off the stage to blend into the crowd standing on the sidelines.

Now, David stood and gazed right into Howard’s eyes.

Everyone was prepared to watch a good show unfold before them.

Just as they had finished getting ready to watch Howard deal with David. “Howard Jackson, stop it. If not, don’t blame me for forgetting my manners with you! Don’t think that I’ll b e afraid to beat you up just because you’re one of Zachary’s people!”

When Luna finished speaking, she took a few steps forward so she could get off the stage and stop Howard.

It was then that Howard said something that caused everyone present to widen their eyes so much that their eyeballs nearly fell out of their sockets.

They watched as Howard clasped his hands together and bow to David before saying:

“My apologies, Mr. Liddell! I should not have done what I did just now! I did not notice that you were present just now! I hope you will be generous and not hold a grudge against a lowly individual like me! I, Howard Jackson, sincerely apologize! I’m sorry!”

Chapter 124

“What?”

“What?”

“What?”

Everyone who had been waiting for a dramatic showdown was stunned.

This included Luna, who was so stunned that she froze.

Who was Howard Jackson?

President of the SRU student council!

The most handsome guy in SRU!

Moreover, he was rumored to have come from a scarily powerful family.

People like Leo, whose fortune came from new money, were not even worthy of cleaning his shoes for him.

In SRU, even the school had to pay attention to what he said.

Yet, a person like him had to bow down and apologize to David?

What was David’s identity?

Never mind the fact that Leo had knelt before him. Even a famous person like Howard could not afford to offend him!

It was a little scary if you thought about it!

Since when had there been someone so powerful in South River University?

Luna was astonished as well!

After all, Howard was one of Zachary’s men.

Zachary Quinn, one of the eight great fighters in the T faction, was still a powerful person even if he were hiding in Capital City now. Naturally, Howard was no ordinary person himself if Zachary agreed to take him under his wing after meeting him.

In the years that Zachary had sent him to keep watch over her, he had never treated anyone except Zachary with such respect.

In that case, did that mean that person standing before them was on the same level as Zachary?

Luna was actually not too interested in the internal happenings of T faction. If not, she would have heard that Zachary had fled River City with his tail between his legs not long ago.

If she connected that to the image before her now, she would have managed to deduce that David was the person who had banished Zachary. The Shoron family was a hidden aristocratic family. If they had any plans of publicizing themselves, they would need to work with a powerful, well-established family. Thus, they had set their eyes on the Quinn family, based in Capital City.

The Quinn family had also recently encountered difficulties in their developments and was in dire need of

foreign aid. Therefore, the two parties hit it off immediately

Marriage was the best way of ensuring the unity of their collaboration, which was why both families were interested in having Luna and Zachary become a couple and maintain their strong partnership.

Luna was extremely against being married off for benefits. However, she had no choice, as she was the only daughter of the family. She was not given the liberty of choice and could only accept what her family arranged for her.

Zahary had become smitten with Luna the very first time they met, and coupled with efforts from both families, had decided that Luna was his wife.

Thankfully, Luna was still young. She then chose to attend university in River City so she could avoid Zachary.

She never thought he would send someone over to spy on her!

On the other hand, David had not expected Howard to bow to him and apologize.

He had thought that Howard would hit him! David even prepared himself so he could keep his strength under control and avoid injuring Howard too gravely.

After all, between them, one was a member of the SCC while the other was a member of T faction. In a way, they could be considered enemies, and he had just beaten up his master a couple of days ago. He had thought that even if Howard did not dare hit him, he would at the very least speak to him harshly, wouldn’t he? Wasn’t this how things always went down in television shows?

Since when would the enemies approach each other and bow while apologizing?

How was he supposed to respond to that?

To be honest, it was because David had underestimated himself. He always thought that he was not powerful enough, but in reality, the power he had just demonstrated was enough to terrify plenty of people.

Chapter 125

If not, Zachary would not have remained silent after such a humiliating defeat. It did not fit his identity as one of the eight great fighters in T faction.

The only reason he had not returned yet after all this time was because he felt that he would not be able t o command the situation properly if he returned.

Although there was some hostility between T faction and the SCC, it was not that members of T faction could not cross over into areas that the SCC had control over, or that members of the SCC could not enter places where T faction was located.

It was a face-saving issue limited to only the higher-ups of both parties, or at least between the eight great fighters of T faction and the SCC’s core members.

When one party’s higher-ups set out, the other party would send out appropriate members to meet them a s well.

Ordinary members could go anywhere they pleased, for no one paid any attention to them.

Previously, if Charles had not been desperate to get himself promoted to core membership and reverse his family’s declining situation, he could have pretended to not have seen anything.

After all, he was merely a high-tier member of the SCC, and his position could not be compared against Zachary’s position as one of the eight great fighters of T faction.

What he wanted was to attract the attention of the SCC’s three bosses. As water shapes itself into the vessel that contains it, a wise man adapts himself to his circumstances. Howard did not think he was at fault for doing what he had done, and no one would laugh at him even if word got out.

At most, the people in school who did not know who David was would merely think he was a coward.

Besides, he was going to graduate soon. No matter how they tried, the ordinary people in his school would never attain the level he was at in their lifetime.

Howard continued bowing to David, not daring to straighten himself before hearing David’s voice. The only thing he could do now was to maintain this posture.

Just then, David returned to his senses and said, “Mr. Jackson, it’d be a good idea for you to maintain a low profile! That student did not commit a great offense just now. Was there a need to be so harsh on him? If I hadn’t caught him just now, he would have suffered grave injuries from falling from such a great height! You’re in South River University in

River City, not Capital City!”

As the saying goes, never strike someone showing friendliness. Instead of playing by the usual rules, Howard had chosen to bow and apologize to him, causing David to feel a little embarrassed. After all, there was no deep hatred or resentment between them.

“Yes, sir, Mr. Liddell! I’ll keep that in mind!” Only then did Howard straighten up and speak in a tone that was as respectful as ever.

Feeling bored, David turned and left.

He had initially thought he would be able to pick up a few tricks and learn how to control his strength. Yet, in the end, not only had he not learned anything, but he had also felt like a monkey as everyone gathered around and stared at him.

Everyone near David automatically cleared a path for him. They had initially thought there would be a dramatic showdown, but it had ended so peacefully.

Everyone stared at David’s retreating figure with equal parts curiosity and respect.

It seemed that from today onwards, someone else would be claiming the title of the most influential person in SRU. It had only taken David slightly more than half a month to go from being an unknown person to becoming the most influential person in SRU. The speed at which things had progressed was simply unbelievable.

No one knew what thoughts were running through Luna’s mind as she stared at David’s disappearing figure.

When David walked past Leo and Sarah, she seemed to want to say something before realizing that she n o longer had any connections to him. It seemed that no matter what she said to him, it would be pointless.

Howard let out a quiet sigh of relief when he saw that David was leaving without causing him any trouble.

Ever since witnessing David’s power the other night, Howard had found it extremely stressful to face David head-on.

Those who did not have any basics in martial arts would not be able to understand the kind of pressure h e faced. It felt as terrifying as asking an ordinary person to face a higher power.

“Miss Luna! Mr. Zachary arranged for me to keep an eye on you, and I hope you will show yourself some respect and care. Things will not be as pleasant as they are now if Mr. Zachary has to make an appearance himself.” Howard said before leaving the hall.

“Howard Jackson, what gives you the right to speak to me that way? Go back and tell Zachary Quinn that I’m not married to him yet! He has no right to control me now!” Luna said angrily as Howard turned around.

Howard walked away.

However, his final conversation with Luna had placed lots of questions and assumptions into the minds o f the students in the hall who had been watching them.

What did that mean?

It seemed that Howard had just been sent by someone named Zachary Quinn to keep an eye on Luna.

Did that mean that Luna Shoron was already taken?

You could tell from the fact that Howard addressed that person as Mr.

Zachary Quinn, that he was not a force to be reckoned with.

Compared to David, who was more powerful?

What most of them were thinking now was that things would become very exciting if David started an affair with Luna and made Mr. Zachary Quinn come over to SRU and meet with David.

However, based on David’s attitude just now, it seemed that he had no interest in Luna Shoron, the most beautiful of the Three Campus Belles of SRU.

Chapter 126

David had nowhere to go after leaving the building, nor did he want to return to the classroom, so he went to the tiny forest beside the sports field and stared blankly at the students on the sports field, sweating buckets.

He thought about his experience for the past half a month. It was truly like a dream.

Initially a pauper, his life was turned around because of a system. He did not realize how long it had been. A crisp and clear voice rang out beside David’s ear. “Are you David?” David turned his head to look. Luna?

What was she doing here looking for him?

Nevertheless, he replied, “Yeah!”

“Do you know Zachary?” Luna asked again.

“Sort of!”

“Are you friends?”

“Enemies!”

“Oh? Those who can qualify as Zachary’s enemy are no ordinary people!

It’s no wonder Howard is so afraid of you!”

“You’re wrong! I am an ordinary person!”

Luna did not dwell on this issue and asked, “Do you want to join the martial arts club?”

“I wanted to initially, but I don’t want to join anymore!” “Why?” “Why should I join when I can’t learn anything?” David returned the question.

Luna was a little angry after hearing David’s reply.

If David looked down on the martial arts club, was he not also looking down on her as the club president then?

“You think the martial arts club is just a girl fight?”

“Are there perhaps any real talents then? Didn’t you say it yourself that it is too late to practice martial arts now?”

“Since Howard is so afraid of you, David, and since you see Zachary as your enemy, I believe you’re pretty strong, right? Want to join the martial arts club as the vice president?” Luna invited him. “I’m sorry, but I’m not interested. Maybe you should find someone else!” David replied.

“David, I’ve been privately appointed to be Zachary’s wife, so since you’re enemies with him, don’t you want to piss him off? Or maybe embarrass him?” David turned to look at Luna.

This chick must be out of her mind!

‘What do I have to do with you not wanting to marry him?

‘Are you trying to use me as a gun? Or to use me as an excuse?

I’m not a fool!

This will bite back at him someday.

He merely won once by a fluke.

If he had to compare himself to Zachary, he lagged way behind!

David gave no reply.

He stood up straight away instead.

Luna was a little confused by David’s actions.

Were they not enemies?

She thought she would be able to get David to join the club by saying that.

It would be interesting to see if Howard would continue to interfere if that happened.

Besides, based on Howard’s reaction earlier, David was at least equal to Zachary, right?

If Zachary turned up, this would be a fierce battle between evenly-matched opponents, and it would be perfect if ended up being a lose-lose situation.

Seeing that David was about to leave, Luna immediately launched an attack at David out of desperation.

In her opinion, David had be good at fighting. Besides, she did not use all of her strength, so David should be able to block her attack.

On one hand, she wanted to test David’s skills.

On the other hand, she wanted to show David that the martial arts club was not merely girl fights. It actually carried weight.

David had just walked past Luna when he felt a gush of wind behind him.

Was someone attacking him?

His senses were extremely keen at that moment.

It happened so abruptly, whereas David was not very skilled at controlling his own powers.

Hence all the strength in his body burst out uncontrollably. It was done completely out of instinct.

Judging from his powers at that moment, a complete outburst could be absolutely terrifying.

All Luna felt was the aura of David gushing at her like a ferocious storm. She felt like a flat boat in the sea, at risk of being swallowed by the giant waves at any time.

Astonished, Luna had yet to react when a broad hand clenched her fair and slender neck like an iron pincer!

Luna felt suffocated; she wanted to cry!

David quickly snapped back to his senses and hurriedly let go when he saw himself gripping Luna’s neck.

Luna covered her neck and squatted on the floor coughing vigorously.

Her tears flowed like a broken dam.

David stood there awkwardly!

What he did in that very moment was completely out of instinct!

Blame this chick for attacking him without any warning!

How could he be blamed? No way!

After standing for a while, David finally squatted down and gently patted Luna’s back, hoping to help her feel slightly comfortable.

After one or two minutes, Luna finally eased up and stopped coughing. She turned around to look at David, her beautiful heart-shaped face and mesmerizing big eyes were red.

“Um… I didn’t mean it, Ms. Luna! I didn’t know you would attack me from behind! I did so out of instinct!” David said a little awkwardly.

.

“Are you saying that this is entirely my fault? If you had killed me earlier, that I was the one asking for it?” Luna asked in a slightly hoarse voice, no longer as crisp and clear as before.

Was that not the case?

Though David dared not say that.

“No! No! I overreacted! It’s my fault! My fault!” David replied.

“Since it’s your fault, what do you suggest we do? You could’ve killed me if you gripped a little harder just now. I was just trying to tell you that the martial arts club isn’t just a girl fight. I wasn’t even trying to hurt you.”

“What do you want then?” David asked.

“Join the martial arts club as vice president and agree to one condition!” Luna said.

David thought about it and said, “I can join the martial arts club, but I will not agree to your condition. Am I supposed to die if you ask me to?” “Don’t worry, it will not be against your own will. You can choose to do it or not. I’m fine with it even if you choose not to do it!”

“Really?”

“Mm hmm!”

“Alright then! But I will say this first! I will choose whether or not to do it according to my own will!”

“Sure! Deal!” Luna said with a smile.

David looked at Luna’s smile and figured that he might have fallen for it. Though it was true that if he had clenched a little harder just now, this gorgeous lady would have died.

It seemed like he had to learn how to control his power as soon as possible!

David left because some students were starting to notice what was going on. He did not want others to look at him like a clown.

Luna watched as David left.

Although she was still a little stunned, there was now a charming smile on her face.

Chapter 127

David left.

Luna remained standing on the same spot with a charming smile spread out across her slightly astonished face.

It seemed that she would have to rely on David to get rid of her ill-fated destiny which her family had set out for her.

However, did she want only to change the destiny that her family had arranged for her?

Perhaps she could strive for it? At the thought of this, Luna started breathing a little rapidly.

How many years had it been? She had long given up on such unrealistic ideas.

She did not even resist when her family arranged her marriage. She felt reluctant and at the same time wanted to leave the family, to break away from the trauma brought to her by the man from her childhood. At this critical moment, when she was about to graduate and fulfill the arranged marriage, she met David.

David’s abrupt outburst of strength had suffocated her. She had never felt such a strong aura even from her family’s elders.

This was an absolute genius!

A phrase came to mind.

Though they were peers, the disparity between their abilities was insurmountable. David was definitely a successor nurtured by a supreme power.

She might be the second-degree successor of the Shorons, but with the help of a powerful first-degree successor, she could take a chance. “You think you won, Wendy Shoron? Not necessarily! I will prepare a massive gift for you!” Luna silently vowed in her heart.

Another two days passed.

David had become the martial arts club’s vice president.

Though he continued to stay away from Luna.

He knew Luna’s intentions.

She wanted to use him to fight against Zachary. He was fine with that since they were enemies anyway and he might retaliate against him one day.

He accepted the vice president role merely out of a trace of guilt in his heart. Although Luna attacked him first, she had no intention of harming him.

It was true that he nearly killed her because he failed to control his strength.

It was hard for a socially well-behaved young man like him to accept the fact that he had killed someone.

Therefore, he treated the vice president role as an apology! As for the request, it would depend on his mood whether he agreed to do it or not. On this day, David received a call from Hugh. An SCC core member wanted to meet him.

They had already arrived at the Golden Leaf Hotel.

David took the afternoon off and went to the Golden Leaf Hotel. He arrived outside of the top-notch presidential suite where Hugh stayed in the Golden Leaf Hotel.

Knock! Knock!

David knocked twice.

Hugh opened the door in no time.

“David! Come in!” Hugh politely said.

He had no choice but to be polite. David was currently famous in all of SCC. Besides, David was considered an esteemed figure to him.

Inviting David into the SCC was the best choice he had ever made.

It was a steppingstone for him to inherit the Greenes in the future.

“How very kind of you, Hugh!” David said.

He then entered the room.

A man was sitting on the sofa.

When he saw David walking in, he got up to greet him. “I’ve heard a lot about you, David! My name’s Bill Fisher, SCC core member. I’m best friends with Hugh. I held some of the shares when you first bought Golden Leaf Hotel.” Bill said with a smile.

He was sizing David up while he was at it.

Young!

Too young!

He was shocked that the young man before his eyes was actually capable of throwing Zachary out of River City.

Moreover, Zachary had yet to make a move after the embarrassing ordeal, and that was enough to show just how terrifying this young man was. “You’re too kind, Mr. Fisher!”

Chapter 128

David was sizing Bill up as well while he spoke.

In his early thirties or so.

Gentle and elegant.

A modest gentleman, it seemed.

A lady killer for sure.

David did not sense a superior aura on him, but more of a breeze, which felt very comfortable.

The trio took their seats.

Bill poured David a cup of tea and said, “Try the tea, David.”

David could not refuse, so he picked it up and took a sip. There was a sweet aftertaste after drinking the tea, and it was a little fragrant too!

“Mm! It’s really good!” David said in a pretentious manner.

He did not know a damn thing about tea. He learned all of it from television.

He was a poor man who spent his holidays working a part-time job, so how could he have ever drunk such high-class tea!

He drank black tea and green tea before, but they all tasted somewhat the same. There was not much difference between them. If the tea experts knew what was on his mind right now, it would probably blow their top off.

This was no ordinary tea. The annual production of this tea was limited in the country, and those who were lucky enough to drink it were big shots.

“Right? Speaking of which, it is all thanks to you that I get to drink this cup of tea today, David. I don’t often get the chance to drink it. The big boss knows that I’m here to see you and has specially asked met o bring it to you,” Bill said with a smile.

The big boss? Who?

The founder of SCC?

David had some questions in his heart.

He did not ask. But if the other party was able to offer such a valuable tea to him, it would not be as simple as mentioning a word.

“It is very good indeed!”

David pretentiously took two more sips.

“Can you tell me what happened that day, David? We’re all very curious.

How did you manage to embarrass Zachary like that?” Hugh butted in.

Bill stopped drinking the tea and looked at David.

He wanted to know what happened that day too.

“There’s nothing interesting about it, really!”

David succinctly explained what happened that day, but omitted the part where he shattered the sword with a snap of his finger.

He thought it was not okay to boast about himself.

“You didn’t tell the truth, David. How can you omit the most interesting part? I heard that you caught Zachary’s sword with two fingers and shattered the alloy sword he had been carrying around for years with a snap of your fingers. That’s not something ordinary people can do!” Bill said.

‘If he knew, then why did he ask me to say it?’

It was truly difficult to read the minds of big shots.

“You made a mistake, Mr. Fisher. The most interesting part should be Paul and Mac’s battle. All I did was add a bit of spice at the end,” David said modestly.

Bill did not say a word.

He knew Mac Hill.

A veteran fighter on the Tiger Rank!

Though Paul, the Tiger Ranker around David, was one he had not heard of before.

A battle between two Tiger Rankers must be interesting.

Could Mac smash Zachary’s alloy sword with a snap of his fingers, though? Probably not!

That was a material developed by the most advanced technology.

This was why they valued David so much.

If this was merely a Tiger-Ranked escort, they would not have raised such a fuss to send a core member like him to meet David in person.

Zachary would not have abstained from acting until now either. He was so young yet so terrifyingly powerful, hence he must have come from a superior background.

Unlike martial arts novels and TV shows, there were no such things as strange encounters in this world where one would suddenly get one’s hands on a cultivation technique to practice the best martial arts. Or perhaps obtained skills passed down by a senior, instantly acquiring skills accumulated over dozens of years. Those were simply bullsh*t.

A person’s ability needed to be practiced one step at a time, and only those with the greatest powers could nurture a supreme genius like David.

Chapter 129

The trio gathered to make small talk, most of which were to establish a good relationship with David.

The strength that David displayed had left Bill, an SCC core member, a little astounded. He thought that h e did not have much chance of beating Zachary if he were ever to fight him.

Besides, he was one of the top-ranking core members in SCC. Most of the core members were no match for the eight great fighters of the T

Faction.

David felt a little bored.

He was not used to making small talks with big shots like these.

He did not see himself as a big shot yet, but others thought otherwise. Seeing that it was almost time, Bill said to David, “David, I’m not only here to meet you this time, but I’ve also brought you a message from the big boss.”

He knew it!

David knew that Bill had other intentions when he mentioned the big boss in the beginning.

“Oh? I wonder who this big boss is? And what does he want? Hugh knows I just joined SCC and don’t have much clue in this area!” David asked.

“The big boss’ name is Clinton Zimmerman, one of the three founders of

SCC, the strongest and the one with the most prestige.”

Bill then slowly explained Clinton’s intentions to David.

To put it simply, Clinton needed a favor from David, but what that favor was and when he needed that favor was yet to be decided, but it was estimated to be in six months’ time.

Clinton used to be friends with Stan from T Faction and they both grew up together.

They were both prominent figures in the circle and were just like brothers. They established T Faction together and were both at the center of attention.

However, a woman’s appearance ruined their brotherhood completely.

Lorraine Lovewood!

A woman of great beauty.

A woman that had stunned an era.

One that had both Clinton and Stan, two young men who had reached the pinnacle of success, fall in love with her at the same time. Lorraine was the youngest daughter of the Lovewoods, but due to her congenital disorder, she was said t o not be able to live past eighteen, hence was later taken away by a master.

She returned to Capital City at the age of twenty-two, arousing admiration of the young generation in Capital City as soon as she appeared.

Even Clinton and Stan, both who were at the height of their powers at the time, were no exception.

The two agreed to compete fairly, and the other would willingly admit defeat no matter who Lorraine chose in the end.

If Lorraine had chosen one of them, or neither, the two would not turn against each other.

However, Lorraine made a ten-year contract with the two instead. She needed to leave for another ten years. After ten years, she would marry the best among the younger generation.

Later, Clinton failed to obtain T Faction’s leadership position and moved to Springfield, establishing SCC with a heroic duo, forming two completely distinguishing powers with T Faction.

Clinton did not know how Lorraine would judge the so-called best among the younger generation. Today, Stan alone had the final say in T Faction, but in SCC, there were three different authorities, hence h e had already lost considerably in this aspect.

With the ten-year contract coming to an end, Clinton hoped that David could lend him a hand. With the ability that David displayed and the hidden forces behind him, he was certain that David could become his right-hand man.

David was stunned after understanding the circumstances of the matter. Clinton was not only SCC’s founder, but he was also. T Faction’s founder?

Two big shots had turned against each other for a woman?

Such a cliche plot actually existed in reality? He thought this would only happen in TV dramas!

Chapter 130

What kind of woman was capable of turning two big shots against each other? David was really curious about Lorraine’s appearance.

Was she truly comparable to an ethereal fairy?

“Have you seen what Lorraine looks like, Bill? What kind of woman is capable of making two big shots fall for her, even at the expense of turning against each other?” David asked a little curiously. “Sadly, I was in Springfield at the time. When Lorraine appeared in

Capital City, she didn’t stay long, hence I’ve never seen her. Such a pity!”

Bill was equally curious about the type of woman Lorraine was, much less David.

“How am I supposed to help when there are no instructions? What should I do?” David asked.

“There’s no need to panic, David! The competition for the best amongst the younger generation is nothing more than a competition of power and ability. Who knows, maybe Lorraine will ask the two to fight instead, and that would be handled by the big boss’ own business such that you wouldn’t even have to do anything anymore, David. We’re only seeking your help just in case.” Marvelous!

When the time came, he might not even need to do anything before being able to see Lorraine as well as the duet between the two big shots.

“Alright then! I agree. Just let me know when the time comes,” David replied.

As a senior member of SCC, he needed to show the big boss some respect. Besides, he needed this identity to expand his power. “How straightforward, David. From now on, you will be SCC’s core member. This is the big boss’ decision. I will send you some of the information regarding your authority and obligations as a core member later. Unlike a high-tier member, a core member is already considered

SCC’s senior member and can participate in major decisions.” Huh?

Did he just get promoted to a core member? That fast?

He did not even need to spend a cent.

David really wanted to spend some money.

His lavish points were not growing!

Pearl was not good at spending money either, and that troubled him a lot.

Hugh looked at David somewhat enviously. Core member?

How many SCC high-tier members were stuck at this point? In fact, he was not too concerned about being promoted to a high-tier member. As a businessman, goingt o great lengths to be promoted as a high-tier member was not worth the effort.

A core member, however, was something he absolutely dreamed of.

Why did Charles rush up to fight even though he knew he was not Zachary’s opponent?

He did it just so the three bosses would take notice.

Just so he could be promoted to a core member.

He braved through even if it meant risking serious injury or even death. This showed just how attractive being a core member was. If he could be promoted to a core member, then he would be able to make use of SCC’s powers, as that was a core member’s right. 1)

With that, his family’s crisis would be lifted, and even if his grandfather was no longer around, no one would lay a finger on the Luthers or River

City.

If anyone touched them, then they would be going against SCC, which was something no one dared to do.

The high-tier members did not enjoy such treatment. Even though they were SCC members too, others would still add salt to their wound and come and snatch a piece of the pie when their family was in trouble. SCC did not prohibit internal strife like that. The weak are food for the strong. That had always been the truth as well as T Faction’s way of doing things.

Not every member in SCC had forged a brotherhood. Many were waiting to stab each other in the back too.

It was only when facing T Faction would they fight against the common enemy together. This was a rule imposed by the three bosses. How long has it been since David joined SCC? And yet, he was already promoted to being a core member. If word got out, many high-tier members who were stuck at this level would be envious to death.
