Chapter 1661
Alba chatted with David for a long time before she remembered why she came to visit David today.
She did not come all the way to see if David was fine or not.
Instead, she came to tell David in advance that they would be leaving for the headquarters of Treasure Trove tomorrow to participate in a large auction, so he needed to prepare soon.
“David, we’re leaving for the super-large trade zone due west of the Central Sacred Continent, which is also the headquarters of Treasure Trove tomorrow. You should prepare now,” Alba said.
“We’re leaving? Is the auction going to start soon?” David asked excitedly.
Things were a little urgent now.
He still needed 12 thousand lavish points to get to partial Saint.
Once he got there, he would not be scared of anyone as long as he did not meet a Saint like Nek.
He needed to spend at least 1.2 trillion at this auction to accomplish his goal. “It’s a relatively long journey. The auction will start as soon as we get there.”
“I have nothing to prepare, so you can just call me tomorrow, Miss Fellowes.”
“Okay! Then I won’t bother you anymore, goodbye!”
“Thank you, Miss Fellowes!”
After Alba left, David also walked out of the room.
He went to where Marlee lived and told her that he was going away for a while and would be back soon.
He asked Marlee to gain some knowledge about trading companies from Elmer.
Perhaps realizing that David had important matters to attend to, the little girl Peggy did not bother him this time.
Back in the room, David looked at the sealed wine jar on the table.
This jar of Exquisite Wine of Hundred Flowers and Fruits was reserved for Celia and the others. It could improve their physique and enhance their talents.
However, David did not have the time to go to the Iridescent Sect now.
He could only wait to see them after participating in the auction.
David had not decided whether to go to the Iridescent Sect to hand over the Exquisite Wine of Hundred Flowers and Fruits to Celia and the others first or only do so after he had sufficient strength.
After all, the reputable elders of the Iridescent Sect were an unknown factor.
If they sensed something within him, he might not be able to leave so easily.
In the past, the Iridescent Sect was Celeste’s sect, and Celeste’s status in the sect was nothing scoff at.
Therefore, David had been quite at ease over there.
However, things were different now. Celeste has been imprisoned, and she was in the ice which would cause most disciples to turn pale at the mere mention of its name.
The reputable elders of the Iridescent Sect, including Celeste’s teacher, had apparently abandoned her.
David did not want to visit the Iridescent Sect again before he had enough strength.
If he were to go back, he would do so only with the strength to crush the several reputable elders of the Iridescent Sect.
Not only to rescue Celeste, but also to take away Celia and others.
Compared to Celeste’s suffering in the ice cavern, Celia and the others were much safer.
After all, they were the disciples of Nova, the head of the Iridescent Sect.
As long as the reputable elders did not show up, they would not be in danger.
The most important thing now was to improve his strength as soon as possible and rescue Celeste from the ice cavern.
Every day of delay meant another day of pain.
“Celeste, hold on a little longer. I will come to rescue you soon, just wait for me!” David thought silently in his heart.
A person’s strength was the most important thing whether it was on Earth, the Milky Way, or Star Kingdom. David had a deep understanding of this.
The next day, David, Alba, several of Alba’s maids, and a group of guards left on a merchant ship unique to Treasure Trove.
No space pirate would dare to rob a merchant ship marked by one of the top five trading companies even if it was outside the Central Sacred Continent unless they no longer wanted to continue staying in
the Central Sacred Continent.
They would not dare to offend any of the top five trading companies.
Meanwhile, when it came to the small or medium trading companies, the space pirates would not go overboard after demanding a certain fee from them.
Chapter 1662
If someone like Marlee, who was from a small force from a remote area, encountered space pirates, she would be lucky to survive alive, let alone keep her cargo.
Even so, countless merchant ships set off from various remote corners of the Star Kingdom to the Central Sacred Continent every day.
It was not that they did not know the dangers along the way, but after arriving at the Central Sacred Continent, the profits they would obtain were too huge.
Generally, it would be more than ten times or even dozens of times the value of the goods.
It was enough for them to raise the strength of their family to a higher level.
As the saying went, ‘There is no reward without risk.’
Therefore, even if they knew that it would not be an easy journey, and one slip-up might cost them their lives, countless people would still choose to go.
Star Kingdom was too big.
There were countless small galaxies like Green Apollo where the Jung family was located.
Some people liked stability while some people liked to take risks and gamble.
Treasure Trove’s merchant ship traveled the entire distance without encountering any accidents.
In the blink of an eye, more than a week had passed.
They were halfway through their journey.
David had been staying in his room this entire time. He was still adapting to the physical changes brought about by his soaring strength.
Occasionally, Alba would visit him and chat with him.
Their topic always revolved around David and the master behind him.
David knew that Alba was still inquiring about his situation.
He would also make up some things along the way, either consciously or unconsciously.
In any case, David had to be firm and claim that a Sacred Saint was standing behind him.
He had to convince Alba to proceed with the next plan.
In reality, Alba already trusted David 90%.
Alba had not seen his masters with her own eyes, which resulted in this remaining 10%.
She would not believe David’s words 100% unless she met David’s master, the legendary Sacred Saint and the strongest fighter in Star Kingdom.
Only then would Alba fully believe it.
Even so, her 90% trust was enough for her to gamble on David.
Alba had no other choice if she wanted to change her destiny.
David was her last hope.
Once that man was out, she would have to marry him unconditionally unless she found a new Sacred Saint as a backer for the Fellowes family.
The most important thing was that even if Alba was married, the other party would still not spare her family.
He would slowly erode the Fellowes family’s influence and finally achieve complete control, forcing the Fellowes family to forever provide them with a steady stream of cultivation resources.
The Fellowes family controlled one of the top five trading companies on the Central Sacred Continent, which was a huge slice of pie.
Over the years, the Fellowes family had been looking for ways to save themselves as the other party’s appetite grew.
However, this opponent was a force with a Sacred Saint.
Who would dare to stand up to them?
There were only a few Sacred Saints in Star Kingdom, and everyone had their own affiliated forcés.
Therefore, no one would nonchalantly break this balance.
However, David’s existence gave Alba hope.
A Sacred Saint hidden in the shadows.
As long as she seized this opportunity, the Fellowes family might be able to get out of their current predicament.
Chapter 1663
Time passed slowly.
On that day, David was sitting cross legged on his bed in the room with his eyes closed. He was practicing how to control his surging power.
Suddenly, he felt a violent shaking
He opened his eyes immediately. novelbin
‘What happened?
‘Does anyone dare to mess with one of the Central Sacred Continent’s top five trading companies?’
However, he did not use his mind power to investigate.
The situation was unknown now so it would be better to be careful.
In truth, even if David used his mind power, it would not matter if he was discovered.
After all, he was already a mid-Sovereign Ranker and there was nothing wrong with him having mind power. Thus, he would not cause a sensation.
He would be fine as long as he did not fully expose himself in front of a Saint.
Outside the merchant ship that David and Alba were on, a luxurious spaceship at least several times larger than it blocked the way.
The word ‘Lightfoot’ was engraved on the side of the luxurious spaceship.
On the Central Sacred Continent, any discerning person would know the origin of any ship named ‘Lightfoot’.
It was the special means of transportation that only direct descendants of the Lightfoot family could use.
The Lightfoot family, like the Fellowes family, controlled one of the Central Sacred Continent top’s five trading companies.
The Fellowes family controlled Treasure Trove, while the Lightfoot family controlled Splendor.
The two trading companies were very similar in strength.
Treasure Trove ranked third among the top five trading companies, while Splendor ranked second.
The violent shaking just now was from the two ships colliding.
However, there were no casualties.
Both ships had decent defenses.
The collision just now did not even break through the defense, and the ship was unscathed.
However, the Lightfoot family’s ship was much bigger than the Fellowes family’s ship.
Even if it was not damaged, there was still a violent shake.
Alba frowned when she saw the Lightfoot family’s ship.
Then, she ordered her crew to bypass the other party.
Unexpectedly, they still collided.
She knew that the other party did this on purpose.
She also guessed who was on the ship opposite her.
There was only one person in the Lightfoot family of this generation who would insistently pester Alba.
That was Cornelius Lightfoot, one of the top descendants of the Lightfoot family.
At the same time, he was also the second-in-line heir of the Lightfoot family, so he had a high status in his family.
Sure enough, not long after the two ships collided, a voice came from the Lightfoot family’s ship.
“Miss Alba, how are you?”
“Cornelius, how did you know it was me?” Alba asked in a deep voice.
She was traveling on Treasure Trove’s merchant ship which was not exclusive for the direct descendants of the Fellowes family. How did Cornelius know her exact location and even run directly into her?
“Hahaha! Miss Alba, if I, Cornelius Lightfoot, didn’t even have this ability, how could I be the heir to the Lightfoot family?” Cornelius said with a loud laugh.
Alba was lost in thought.
‘What went wrong?
‘Is there a spy around me who reported my whereabouts to Cornelius?
‘Impossible!
‘Those around me were all cultivated by the Fellowes family since childhood.
‘So how could they betray me?
‘What the hell is going on?’
Chapter 1664
Alba could not find out the answer for a while.
“Cornelius, why did you stop me?” Alba asked.
“Nothing. I just want to invite you over for a meal and a chat. Will you do me the honor, Miss Alba? I have prepared good food and wine here,” Cornelius said.
“Sorry! I still have something to do, so I won’t accompany you!” Alba directly refused.
“Miss Alba, I came all this way just to see you, don’t you think it’s disrespectful for you to do this? How do you expect me to show my face on the Central Sacred Continent if you do this?”
“You can show your face however you want. How is that any of my business? I don’t have time to mess around with you. Goodbye!” novelbin
After Alba finished speaking, she commanded the merchant ship to avoid the other party and prepared to leave.
Yet, as soon as the merchant ship set off, the Lightfoot family’s ship stopped in front of them, blocking the way.
They changed direction several times in a row, but the other party still stopped them.
Alba was fuming so she asked loudly, “Cornelius, what the hell do you want?”
“Miss Alba, as I said before, I want to have a meal and a chat with you. As long as you say yes, I will get out of the way immediately after eating. You can think about it slowly, I have plenty of time,” Cornelius was not in a hurry said slowly.
Alba’s pretty face was flushed red by Cornelius’ words and her ample chest heaved violently.
She wished she could kill him with a sword.
However, she could only imagine such a thing in her mind. Alba could not do this in reality.
Aside from whether she could kill Cornelius, even if she could, she would not dare to.
On the one hand, Cornelius, as the second-in-line heir of the Lightfoot family, had a high status.
Alba’s status in the Fellowes family was not comparable to his.
On the other hand, although Treasure Trove was not much different from Splendor, it did not mean that there was not much difference between the Lightfoot family and the Fellowes family.
Many aspects were at play here.
Simply put, the Fellowes family was their backer’s affiliated family.
To put it bluntly, they would offer a large number of resources every year to seek asylum.
Even so, they would need to act according to their backer’s wishes.
Especially in recent years, the backers of the Fellowes family intended to swallow the Fellowes family.
However, the Lightfoot family was different.
The Lightfoot family already had someone who had established a firm foothold in the backing family behind them.
Once upon a time, a daughter of the Lightfoot family married into the family that was backingthem.
Just like Alba right now.
After the woman from the Lightfoot family got married, she counterattacked and was now an important figure in that big family.
The Lightfoot family’s situation also changed from that.
The Fellowes family was likely to be ruthlessly abandoned by the backers behind them but the same would not happen to the Lightfoot family.
This was the gap between the two families.
If Alba killed Cornelius and the Lightfoot family decided to pursue it, the Fellowes family could only apologize and obediently hand her over after paying a huge price.
Both families had Sacred Saints as their backers.
However, their situation was completely different.
The Lightfoot family lived a life of comfort and security while the Fellowes family was living in dire straits. Furthermore, their family might be destroyed at any time.
“Cornelius, I have something urgent to take care of now, how about I accompany you when I have a chance?” Alba took a deep breath and said aggrievedly.
“No way! Who knows if you will keep your promise after you go back? I dare not go to your Fellowes family to get you. Since I met you today, you have to have a drink with me before leaving no matter what.” Cornelius was not moved at all.
Tears welled in Alba’s eyes.
There was nothing she could do when it came to a scoundrel like this.
Should she go have a meal with Cornelius?
That was absolutely impossible.
She could not go even if she died.
Alba was not stupid. She had a fiance nominally so if she got into Cornelius’ ship alone, she would face an extremely miserable life no matter if something happened between them or not.
Chapter 1665
Inside the luxurious spaceship of the Lightfoot family, Cornelius was half-lying on a chair leisurely, surrounded by several beautiful maids massaging his shoulders and legs. He was enjoying himself a lot.
His purpose of stopping Alba, the third young mistress of the Fellowes family today, was to invite her to his ship for a gathering.
When Cornelius met Alba for the first time, he really liked this outstanding and talented woman.
However, Alba had a marriage contract, and her fiancé was one of the few top geniuses in Star Kingdom. Furthermore, the family behind him was at the top of the Star Kingdom pyramid.
Cornelius, as the second-in-line heir of the Lightfoot family, was not the kind of man who would think with his genitalia.
He could have any women he wanted, so why bother with Alba and her fiancé?
The reason why he took the risk to invite Alba to his ship was also that he had been entrusted by someone to piss off her fiancé.
The backer behind the Lightfoot family and the backer behind the Fellowes family never had a good relationship.
The younger generations of the two families would also compete in all aspects.
Once the news of Alba getting onto the Lightfoot family’s ship got out, her reputation was bound to take a hit.
The Fellowes family’s downfall would then be further accelerated.
At the same time, the reputation of Alba’s fiancé would also be affected.
‘So what if you are the top genius in Star Kingdom?
‘Your fiancée still got into another man’s ship.
‘Does anyone know what had gone on in there?
‘You will definitely be labeled as a cuck.’
For Cornelius, there was also a great risk in doing this.
After all, the person he was going to offend was the top among Star Kingdom’s younger generation in terms of status or strength
He might lose his life if he was not careful.
He was going all out.
Although Cornelius was the second-in-line heir of the Lightfoot family, the first-in-line heir was giving him pressure as well.
He had tried to turn the situation around through his own efforts.
However, after so many years, no matter how hard he tried, it was to no avail.
Slowly, Cornelius also understood that effort alone would not do.
If he did not think of a solution, he would not be able to compete with the opponent at all.
This was an excellent opportunity.
If he successfully completed the task his employer gave him, disgusted Alba’s fiancé, and made him happy, Cornelius might have a chance to compete for the position of the head of the Lightfoot family with his support.
The Lightfoot family was, after all, someone else’s affiliated family.
That guy might inherit the position of the head of his family in the future.
That was why Cornelius wanted to find a way to know Alba’s whereabouts and block her path.
He would get Alba on board no matter what.
He would not hesitate to use violence if he had to.
In truth, Cornelius would not do anything to Alba. He would just invite her over for a meal.
After that, he would announce to the outside world that he, Cornelius Lightfoot, had admired Miss Alba for a long time and since he met her this time, he decided to invite her over for a light meal.
He would let the public figure out what really happened themselves.
Even if the Fellowes family learned of this, they would not be able to find fault with him.
He did not do anything outrageous to Alba.
Was the younger generation not allowed to communicate with each other and eat a meal together?
“Cornelius, I have a fiancé. Do you think it’s appropriate for you to do this?” Alba asked.
“There’s nothing inappropriate about this! It’s just a casual meal and a chat. I won’t do anything to you,” Cornelius said indifferently.
“You must think about this carefully. If my fiancé comes out and finds out about this, what do you think the consequences will be?”
“Consequences? You’re not married to him yet. Even if you are, are you not allowed to have a meal with others? Your future life will be so boring if that’s the case.”
“Cornelius, I don’t believe you do not understand what I mean. Are you sure you can handle my fiancé’s anger?”
“Miss Alba, stop talking nonsense. Since I dare to do this, I dare to bear all the consequences. You have to have this meal with me today no matter what.” Cornelius was a little impatient.
In order to avoid further problems, he wanted to get this done as soon as possible.
He also needed to do this properly.
In order to compete for the head of the Lightfoot family in the future and have a chance of changing his current situation, Cornelius was not willing to throw in the towel just like that. novelbin
“You…”
Alba was left speechless after hearing Cornelius’ retort.
Chapter 1666
She did not expect Cornelius, the second-in-line heir of the Lightfoot family, to be such a rascal.
He was implying that he would not let her go if she did not have a meal with him.
‘What should I do?’
At this time, Alba was at a loss.
She tried to contact the Fellowes family but found that the signal had been cut off by Cornelius.
She could not do this.
If she boarded Cornelius’ ship, she would be charged with infidelity once this matter got out. It would not matter what she actually did there.
Even her family would be implicated.
When the man got out, what awaited her and the Fellowes family would be a devastating blow.
Judging from that man’s ego, how would he accept such a thing?
Alba even felt that Cornelius had come prepared to speed up the demise of her and the Fellowes family.
However, when she thought about it, something seemed off.
‘How could dare Cornelius do this?
‘How could he bear the anger of that man?
‘Could it be…’
Alba was startled and a cold light flashed across her eyes. novelbin
‘Is someone instigating this?
‘Who could it be?
‘Is it the backer behind the Lightfoot family?
‘This is the only reason why Cornelius would be so courageous.’
It was said that the two families were at odds with each other.
Thus, it was not entirely impossible that someone wanted to play tricks behind the scenes.
One had to acknowledge that Alba was one of the most famous talented woman on the Central Sacred Continent.
She was pretty smart.
She managed to analyze the general context of the situation from Cornelius’ actions today.
If no one was behind this, Cornelius would never dare to do such a thing even if he was given all the courage in the world.
However, even if Alba figured out what was going on, she did not have a good solution.
Cornelius obviously came prepared, so the people he brought must not be weak.
Meanwhile, Alba did not expect such a thing to happen at all so she only brought a few maids and guards.
From her point of view, no one would dare to do anything to her on the Central Sacred Continent.
At the same time, she was also the fiancé of that man in name.
Thus, she did not expect to see Cornelius behave with so much audacity.
If Cornelius resorted to violence, Alba would be helpless.
She thought of all the possible factors and was still unable to solve her immediate predicament.
The only variable here was David.
It was a pity that David could not reveal his identity.
Even if his identity was exposed, Cornelius might not believe him.
He was just a random person that claimed to be the disciple of a Sacred Saint.
There was probably no one who would believe him.
‘What should I do?
‘Am I going to fall into the hands of that rascal Cornelius today?’
According to Alba’s prediction, Cornelius just needed to force her into his ship and free her later.
He did not even need to do anything to her.
Once the news got out, it would be over for her and the Fellowes family.
There would be no chance of changing their fate.
At that time, even if David, a disciple of a Sacred Saint, wanted to help her, it would be extremely challenging.
Chapter 1667
While Alba was thinking of a way out of this, Cornelius was growing impatient.
It would be best if Alba would come over and stay with him for a while.
If she did not want to, Cornelius would have to force Alba to come over.
This time, he was fully prepared.
He also knew that the guards around Alba were only Immortal Rankers.
Thus, in order to avoid any accidents, he brought two beginner Sovereign Rankers along to make sure that the plan would be 100% successful.
As for the consequences, Cornelius did not care about this.
He did not control the life or death of Alba and the Fellowes family.
He only knew that he had to find a way to please his employer.
Only in this way could he have a chance to compete for the position of head of the Lightfoot family.
“Miss Alba, what do you think? As long as you come over and have a drink with me, I, Cornelius Lightfoot, promise you in the name of the Lightfoot family that I will never touch you, how about it?” novelbin
“Cornelius, just give up! I won’t go over to your ship,” Alba directly refused.
“So, you’re saying you won’t do it for my sake, right, Miss Alba? You are such a delicate woman so don’t force me to resort to violence. Since I know your whereabouts, I also know that the few guards with you are only at Immortal Rank. Their strength is far from enough.”
“Cornelius, I know your intentions. If you dare to act today, I will kill myself in front of you and see how you will explain my death,” Alba threatened.
After contemplating for a long time, this was the only feasible approach she could come up with.
If Cornelius dared to take action, then she would kill herself.
This was the only solution.
Once she died, no matter what rumors surrounded her, they would be self-defeating.
Cornelius also had to bear the wrath of the Fellowes family and that man.
Of course, Alba did not want to die.
However, she had no choice.
She was also betting that Cornelius would not dare to do this.
“Miss Alba, why are you doing this? I just admire you and want to have a drink with you. I said that as long as you come over, I won’t touch you at all. Why do you have to go to such extremes to solve this problem?” Cornelius said calmly.
Although his tone was calm, Cornelius had already stood up from the chair at this time. The
expression on his face was a little distorted and he was fuming on the inside.
After careful calculations, the only thing Cornelius did not take into consideration was Alba committing suicide.
If she really killed herself, then this entire thing would be ruined.
At that time, not only would he fail to please his employer, but he also had to be held accountable by the Fellowes family and Alba’s fiancé.
How would Cornelius endure all that without his employer’s support?
“Cornelius, I have already guessed what you are thinking. Someone must be instigating you behind your back! Since you want to stir up public opinion to p*ss off my fiancé, please whoever is behind you, and make the Fellowes family feel bad, I will kill myself to make you suffer the consequences. Try it if you don’t believe me!” Alba gritted her teeth after saying that.
She had completely exposed Cornelius’ plan.
However, Cornelius did not plan to admit it.
He was pretty strong. Even though he was exposed, and his fists were clenched tight, he could still calmly reply, “Miss Alba, you’re falsely accusing me. Everyone knows I admire you. I know you’re going to marry someone else soon and I won’t have a chance with you anymore. Can’t I have a drink and a meal with you before you get married?”
“To hell with that! Cornelius, this is my final decision no matter what you say. It’s either you let me go and I’ll pretend that nothing happened, or you take action and I’ll kill myself right here. I’d like to see if you can bear the consequences. Choose!”
The scene fell silent before a loud laugh was heard.
Chapter 1668
“Haha! Hahaha!”
The source of this laughter was none other than Cornelius.
Alba frowned as she listened to Cornelius’ maniacal laughter, and at the same time, her heart skipped a beat.
She had a bad feeling.
‘Will this guy do it?
‘Doesn’t he know what kind of consequences he will have to bear if I commit suicide and expose him?
‘Not only will he have to bear the pressure of the Fellowes family, he even has to bear the pressure from that man.’
After laughing, Cornelius said in an extremely gloomy voice, “Alba, you are very smart! As expected of a famous talented woman on the Central Sacred Continent, you can think of such a thing and threaten me with suicide. It’s a pity that you underestimated me. If I dared to come here, it’d mean I have already made enough preparations. Believe it or not, even if you commit suicide here today, nothing will be exposed, and I, Cornelius Lightfoot, will still be able to live comfortably.”
“Cornelius, the walls have ears. Sometimes being too confident is not a good thing!” Alba replied.
Cornelius’ words made her breathe a sigh of relief.
‘Is this guy trying to silence everyone?
‘There is a direct disciple of a Sacred Saint on board!’
Alba did not believe that David, the direct disciple of a Sacred Saint, would not have any means to save his life.
“Really? Then I really want to try, and I don’t believe you will commit suicide.”
“You don’t? Then come on! I’ll make you believe it.”
The two sides fell into silence again.
Cornelius was waging a fierce battle in his heart.
He wanted to bet that Alba would not commit suicide.
In the meantime, Alba was also betting that he would not dare to do anything.
Both were gambling and now, and the winner would take all.
Cornelius felt that even if he lost the bet, what happened today would not spread as long as everyone under Alba’s command was silenced.
This time, he only brought people who he could absolutely trust.
If he won the bet, he could gain the trust of his employer.
Then, he would have a guarantee when he competed for the position of head in the future.
Alba was also very nervous at this time.
After all, this matter regarded her survival.
Her forehead and palms were already sweating.
Several maids and guards surrounded her, ready to fight to the death.
“Miss Alba, don’t worry! If the opponent makes a move later, we will immediately take the Blood Bursting Pill and use our lives to fight to the death to try to create an opening for you to survive,” one of the strongest guards said.
“Miss! Just run away later, and we will do our best to block the enemy for you,” a maid also said.
A bitter smile appeared on Alba’s beautiful face under the veil.
Cornelius came prepared.
If they really fought, how would she escape?
“No! If Cornelius makes a move, you’d better run away by yourselves! If you can escape by chance, go back and tell the Fellows family what happened so they can avenge me.”
“Miss…”
“Stop talking! Cornelius came prepared this time, so it’s possible that none of us will escape.” At this moment, Alba thought of David.
‘Why hasn’t the Sacred Saint’s disciple come out yet?’
There was no way David had not heard what she said to Cornelius.
Cornelius has also stated that he would silence everyone.
‘How can David sit still?’
Chapter 1669
The tense atmosphere did not last long.
Just as Alba was wondering what David was doing now and why he did not show up.
Two old men suddenly rushed out from the luxurious spaceship belonging to the Lightfoot family,
They were very fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
One of them came to the rear of the Fellowes family’s merchant ship to prevent anyone on board from escaping.
The other went directly to the front.
Stretching out his right hand, a gigantic golden arm appeared and grabbed the merchant ship.
If one was at Eternal Realm Sovereign Rank, one could use the Eternal Golden Body as one liked and selectively use only certain parts of it.
That was to say, every part of a Sovereign Ranker’s body could instantly transform into the Eternal Golden Body and also control the size according to the specific situation.
This was unlike Ruler Ranks who could only turn their entire body into a golden giant if they wanted to use the power of the Eternal Golden Body.
At this time, the old man transformed his right hand into the appearance of the Eternal Golden Body.
The rest of his body remained unchanged.
That way, it would be more flexible in combat and could be retracted freely.
At the same time, he could concentrate his power in one place without being scattered.
The size of the golden palm was just right, and it was just large enough to grab the Fellowes family’s merchant ship.
Alba was startled when she saw the old men.
‘Oh no!’
They were Sovereign Rankers.
That scoundrel Cornelius actually wanted to take action.
‘What should I do?’
None of the people she brought along on this trip could stop these two Sovereign Rankers.
Was it really necessary for her to commit suicide to maintain her innocence and the stability of the Fellowes family?
Alba did not want to die just yet.
Although she was a woman, she was ambitious.
Ever since she was young, Alba had been the best of her generation in the Fellowes family.
However, because she was a daughter, the elders of the Fellowes family never valued her.
No matter how good she was, she was still unable to become the heir of the Fellowes family Alba was not happy about this, so she wanted to change the status quo.
She wanted to make the dinosaurs of the Fellowes family regret not taking her seriously.
However, now that she had run into that scoundrel today, all her ideas and aspirations were shattered.
Alba now only had two ways to proceed.
One was to commit suicide before Cornelius caught her, which could also ensure the temporary stability of the Fellowes family.
The other was to be forced to board Cornelius’ ship.
In the future, not only would she be accused of infidelity, but the Fellowes family would also suffer accordingly.
Those guys had always been eyeing the Fellowes family, so they would surely not let go of this opportunity to completely annex them.
During Alba’s brief internal struggle, the old man’s golden giant grabbed the merchant ship. They cranked up the merchant ship’s defense to block the giant golden hand from the outside. When the old man’s giant golden hand was blocked, he smiled contemptuously.
“They want to block the Eternal Golden Body of Sovereign Ranker with this little strength? ‘What wishful thinking!’
The old man tightened his giant golden hand slightly.
Crash!
A voice that terrified everyone on the merchant ship could be heard.
Then, the entire ship’s defense system collapsed completely.
The defense of the merchant ship was so vulnerable in front of the old man that it was easily broken.
After crushing the defense of the merchant ship, the old man did not continue to destroy it. If he wanted to kill these people, he would have destroyed the ship without hesitation. After this blow, no one on board the merchant ship would survive. novelbin
However, the purpose of the old man’s trip was to capture Alba, the third young mistress of the Fellowes family, instead of killing everyone.
He retracted his giant golden hand and rushed to the control room of the merchant ship in an instant.
The hard body was like tofu in front of this old man.
Chapter 1670
Bang!
The old man smashed through the body of the ship.
He had come into the control room to grab Alba from the crowd.
He was very fast.
After receiving the order from Cornelius to capture Alba alive, the old man only took a moment to destroy the defense system of the Fellowes family’s merchant ship and finally appear in the control room.
By the time Alba and her maids and guards reacted, the old man had already appeared in the control room.
The strength of a Sovereign Ranker was indeed terrifying.
“Miss, run away! We will block him for you!” a guard shouted.
The other guards and maids also reacted immediately.
Immediately, they took out a pill and prepared to swallow it.
This was the Blood Bursting Pill.
Once eaten, it would immediately detonate the blood inside one’s entire body.
The consumer would have their power amplified several times over for a short time.
Of course, the price they had to pay was also quite large as they would have to give up their life.
The Blood Bursting Pill allowed its consumer to overdraw their lives to fight. novelbin
They would use their life in order to get their power to skyrocket for a short time.
Even so, how would the old man give them a chance?
Even if they took the Blood Bursting Pill, they would not pose any threat to the old man.
However, if they were to take the Blood Bursting Pill, it would be troublesome to deal with the several Immortal Rank guards.
If he was slightly slow and they created an opening for Miss Alba Fellowes to kill herself, it would be very spell unnecesarry trouble.
In order to prevent any accidents, the old man yelled.
“You want to take the Blood Bursting Pill? No way in hell!”
Then, he exuded the strength of a Sovereign Ranker.
Boom!
The merchant ship shook violently. It was as if it could not handle the old man’s energy.
If this merchant ship was not Alba’s primary means of transportation and had undergone a special transformation by Treasure Trove, it would have already disintegrated.
Despite this, it was still a bit shaky and in danger of disintegrating at any moment.
The control room was in a mess, and everything shattered from the shock.
The guards and maids who were about to take the Blood Bursting Pill were all interrupted by the old man’s sudden outburst.
Following this, they could only give up taking the Blood Bursting Pill. Then, they stood next to each other to form a human wall to block Alba.
Several Immortal Rank guards stood at the front while exuding their energy to defend Alba.
As Alba’s maids and bodyguards, the task of these people was to protect the safety of Alba even at the expense of their own life.
However, they had underestimated the strength of the Sovereign Ranker.
After the old man exuded his energy and it reached the Immortal Rank guards, it directly smashed through their combined defense and sent all the maids and guards standing in front of Alba flying.
Only Alba was left standing in place alone.
It was as if she was under a freezing spell.
If Alba wanted to kill herself now, it would be too late.
This was because the old man was already in front of her and was about to catch her.
How would she have the chance to kill herself when a Sovereign Ranker got close to her?
Alba did not expect Cornelius to be so decisive as to take action against her so quickly.
He did not even give her a chance to react.
If she killed herself at the beginning, it would surely have worked.
However, she had hesitated.
No one wanted to die if they were not driven to desperation.
At this moment, as Miss Alba Fellowes stood in front of the Sovereign Ranker, she had no choice at all.
All conspiracies were futile in front of true strength.
She knew the other party would not listen to her no matter what she said.
As for other methods?
As the third young mistress of one of the top five trading companies in the Central Sacred Continent, she surely had a lot of treasures.
However, she would also need time to use it.
Would the other party give her a chance to do so?
Clearly, this would be impossible.
