Chapter 1756
“David, I’ve told Grandpa Val about your cooperation. He needs to understand something about you. Don’t worry though, Grandpa Val is the person I trust the most in the family. He’d never hurt me,” Alba promised carefully.
She was worried that she would enrage David.
After all, this was between the two of them. Now, she had let a third party know about their secret without David’s consent.
Of course, David would not be mad.
He was a Saint now, so he was more confident.
Just now, David was at a disadvantage when facing Valerio. Now, he was the one in charge.
It would be good for the head of Treasure Trove to know this.
With his help, David believed East League Trading Company’s development would be even faster.
If they were developing faster, he would be spending money faster too.
David looked at Valerio and said, “What do you want to know, Mr. Valerio? You can ask me. I’ll tell you everything I know.”
“David, I heard your master gave you a Soulbound Weapon when you came out.” Valerio contemplated before asking.
He decided to start with the first-rate Soulbound Weapon Alba mentioned.
“That’s right!” David answered directly.
“Can I see it? Don’t misunderstand me. I heard Alba say that your weapon is very unique and I am very interested in Soulbound Weapons, so that’s why I’m curious and want to see it. I don’t mean anything else.”
“That’s fine.”
David got up after he said that. Then, he placed the wooden sheath on the table.
“Feel free to look at it. However, I have to tell you that you can only look and not have any ideas about this. My master gave this to me, so it’s not for sale. My master will not spare me if I sell it,” David added.
“Don’t worry. A nobleman will not steal. I just want to look at it and I will never have any other ideas about it,” Valerio said.
“Go ahead then.” David gestured to Valerio.
Valerio carefully opened the sheath.
Crack!
A long sword with a red light appeared before his eyes.
At the same time, there was also a bone-piercing chill as an infinite amount of piercing energy rushed before him.
‘What is this?
Valerio was stunned when he saw the Evil-Splitting Sword.
As the head of Treasure Trove, he had seen a lot of treasures over the years. Normal people could not compare to Valerio in terms of knowledge and experiences.
Even Alba, who loved researching weapons since she was young, was miles away from Valerio.
‘This must be it!
‘This long red sword in front of me is definitely a first-rate Soulbound Weapon!
‘It’s even the best among first-rate Soulbound Weapons!’
Valerio had seen the two first-rate Soulbound Weapons the Fellowes family owned. They were nothing. compared to this sword.
This was surely a weapon qualified for a Sacred Saint.
Unexpectedly, David’s master gave it to him.
Since he could give such a precious weapon to his disciple, Valerio could see how close they were.
It was no exaggeration to say that not even fathers and sons would have such a good relationship.
“David, may I know what this sword is called?”
“My master said it’s called the Evil-Splitting Sword. It can slash through all things evil and everything in the universe.”
“The Evil-Splitting Sword? What a good name! Since your master can give you such a precious treasure, you must have a good relationship with him,” Valerio lamented.
“Of course! I was relying on that old man ever since I was young, and I am his only disciple. How can we not be close?” David said as if it was a matter of course.
Valerio smiled bitterly on the inside.
‘This kid is simple-minded, so he might not know what this means.
“Even fathers might not be so good to their biological sons.
‘Not only did he give David trillions of Star Dollars before he came out, he even gave David a first-rate Soulbound Weapon that can represent his identity.
“Anyone with a discerning eye would not attack David once they saw this sword. ‘It’s because they won’t be able to handle the rage of the sword’s true owner.”
Chapter 1757
After the wooden sheath was closed, the chill from the Evil-Splitting Sword disappeared and the room went back to normal.
Valerio lamented in his heart.
He had been the head of Treasure Trove for so many years and he had seen so many treasures, but this word shocked him the most.
This was undoubtably a sword that was hard to come by.
Even the Fellowes family’s first-rate Soulbound Weapons could not compare to it.
Perhaps only a Sacred Saint would have the qualifications to wield it.
Of course, Valerio would not exclude the fact that David might have found this in a ruin somewhere in the universe.
However, the possibility of this was so low that he could just ignore it.
It was not that easy to go into ruins.
A ruin with first-rate Soulbound Weapons would surely have a high civilization. Even calling it a narrow escape would be underestimating it.
If anyone below Saint Realm went there, they would surely die. It would be hard to stay alive, let alone come out with a treasure.
“Thank you for letting me see such a rare weapon, David. It opened my eyes. I’ve been the head of Treasure Trove for so long, but this is the first time I’ve seen such a precious treasure. It’s so shocking.
I would like to meet your master if I have the chance,” Valerio praised magnanimously.
“You’re too kind, Mr. Valerio. You should have a chance to meet my master in the future. I came out this time with a mission from him. When I left, he said that our sect had been hiding for so long and it was time for us to come out. If not, Star Kingdom might soon forget about us,” David said casually.
“May I know the name of the sect you’re in? Is it in any historical records?”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Valerio. I can’t tell you for now. After all, I just came out and I haven’t completed my mission, so he won’t let me reveal too much about our sect. If not, I will be punished once he comes out.”
“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have asked a question like that. Please forgive me,” Valerio said apologetically.
He was making himself look very humble.
One could even say that Valerio was treating David with a completely different attitude this time.
Just now, he viewed David as a junior.
Now, he viewed David like he was Anders, the heir of one of the top six forces in Star Kingdom.
Even though David was still younger than Valerio, his status and identity were completely different now
Valerio did not dare to treat Anders like a junior nor criticize him.
Since David could spend 11 trillion Star Dollars on the auction just to beat Archimedes, Valerio knew this kid was not simple. That was why he summoned David.
However, money did not mean anything.
The Fellowes family was loaded, but they still ended up in this state.
If they did not find a way to save themselves, everything the Fellowes family had would go to someone else, and their family’s glory would also become history.
The David Valerio saw right now was not just rich, he had a first-rate Soulbound Weapon. It was something money could not buy nor measure.
There were a lot of high-level Soulbound Weapons being auctioned off in Star Kingdom.
However, no one had auctioned off a first-rate Soulbound Weapons before.
Chapter 1758
If a first-rate Soulbound Weapon was being auctioned, it would surely cause an uproar in all the forces in Star Kingdom, including the six top forces.
In the end, the only ones who would be qualified to buy it would be one of the six forces with a Sacred Saint.
The others should not even think about it.
Because of David’s identity, Valerio humbled himself as best as he could to get on David’s good side.
He believed 80 to 90% of what Alba said now.
“You don’t have to blame yourself, Mr. Valerio. I got Miss Alba Fellowes’ help the moment I came to the Central Sacred Continent, so I am very grateful. If you need me in the future, please tell me. I will not say no as long as it doesn’t go against my principles. Plus, my master said I should make more friends now that I’m out here. Miss Fellowes is my second friend and I treat all of my friends sincerely.”
David lied without even batting an eyelid.
He kept trying to create a special identity for himself in front of Alba, which was that of the disciple of a Sacred Saint.
Only by doing that could he get Alba’s support in building and developing a new trading company.
Now, Alba had almost completely believed him.
Even so, this was not enough.
It would be best if she could help him develop the new trading company and spend trillions of Star Dollars.
However, he did not know how long this would take.
This meant she could only help David get millions of lavish points to upgrade from Pre-Saint to True Saint at most.
Meanwhile, it would take tens of millions of lavish points to get to Sacred Saint. It would be almost impossible for him to achieve this in a short time if he tried using ordinary methods.
Therefore, David soon formed a crazy and courageous plan in his head.
He believed that East League Trading Company would reach a certain scale by the time he reached True Saint Rank
When that happened, he would discuss a merger and acquisition with the grandmasters of the Fellowes family.
Didn’t they want to escape their current predicament?
Once it was successful, David would be a Sacred Saint and become one of the strongest people in Star Kingdom.
In addition to his mind power and the God of Thunder Hammer, he would excel among the Sacred Saints.
When that happened, it would not matter if he had a Sacred Saint master as support.
This was because David would be his biggest support.
If he wanted to make that plan a reality, he would need to do this step by step.
First, he needed to make Alba and Valerio believe him 100% and dispel all of their concerns.
“Thank you, Master David. I’m honored to be your friend,” Alba thanked David from one side.
“Don’t say that, Miss Fellowes. Since we’re friends, we should treat each other as equals. It will make us sound like strangers if you say things like how honored you are,” David interrupted.
“I got it, Master David,” Alba said in a small voice.
“David, may I know when your master will come here? I want to meet him on behalf of the family. If you don’t think I’m qualified enough, I’ll ask the grandmasters to do it,” Valerio said suddenly.
“What are you saying, Mr. Valerio? There’s no such thing as being qualified or not. My master is very easygoing, so he doesn’t have a lot of rules. You can see him anytime you want if he’s around, but I’m afraid now is not the time. I have to complete his mission before I can contact him,” David said after some contemplation.
After he heard that, Valerio thought to himself, ‘I think he’s only easy-going with you! How will he be so easygoing with others? If Sacred Saints don’t have a temper, would they still be Sacred Saints?”
Chapter 1759
“David, what’s the mission your master gave you? Do you need us to help you?” Valerio asked.
“Yes, of course! But I have an agreement with Miss Fellowes, and she agreed to help me,” David answered.
“What about other things? For example Archimedes and his protector Bernard. From what I know, they are out there waiting for you. Not only that, Bernard even contacted the head of Splendor’s branch to ask him to set traps around here just for you.”
Alba was worried. She said anxiously, “Master David, you should not go out for the time being. Archimedes won’t wait for too long. As long as you’re in here, he won’t dare to come in to take action.”
“Don’t worry, Miss Fellowes. I will take care of him myself. If he dares to do anything to me, I will make sure he never returns home,” David said casually.
He did not sound like he was bothered about Archimedes
David had predicted that Archimedes would wait for him out there.
After what happened in the tavern and the auction, judging from Archimedes’ vengeful character, he would not spare David after being hit by these dual humiliations.
However, David was not the same as before.
Back then, he was only a mid-Sovereign Ranker. Even though he was not scared of Bernard, the late Sovereign Rnker, he was not confident he would beat him.
Now, with Archimedes’ help in the auction, David was a Saint.
What was the difference between Archimedes and an ant to David now?
If the Lightfoot family did not send their Saint Realm grandmasters, it would not matter how many people they sent over.
“David, Archimedes is the first-in-line heir of the Lightfoot family after all. Moreover, not only does the Lightfoot family control Splendor, one of the top five trading companies, but they also have the Ginger family as backer. It’s better to not offend them. I will mediate it and get you two to meet so you can resolve the conflict between you two. What do you think?” Valerio suggested.
“Mr. Valerio, do you think I’m scared of them?” David asked with a grin.
“I know you’re not, but ultimately, you just got here and you have a mission from your master. It’s better to avoid trouble,” Valerio explained.
David scoffed and shook his head. He said, “No, Mr. Valerio, you misunderstood me. My master gave me a mission, but before I left, he also said we shouldn’t cause trouble, but not to be afraid of anyone. No matter who they are, we will pay back ten times if they dare to bully us.”
Boom!
After he said that, David released a little of his Saint Realm energy.
The temperature of the room plummeted, causing Alba and Valerio to shiver. They felt as if they were in a ten-thousand-year-old ice cavern.
Just a second ago, it was bright and sunny.
However, in the next second, it was freezing.
The two experienced what it was like to be trapped in a combination of sharply contrasting elements.
After David did that, he retracted his energy after he had achieved his goal.
Alba was fine.
Since she was initially weak, it was normal for her to not be able to resist David’s mid- or late Sovereign
Rank energy.
On the contrary, Valerio was different.
At this moment, he was completely shocked.
As a partial Saint, he knew what the energy David released meant.
That was Saint power.
It was much purer than his.
They were on completely different levels.
Now, Valerio’s mind was blank.
No matter what, Valerio could not wrap his head around how a young man like David could be a Saint. ‘Is he still human?”
Chapter 1760
The strongest one among the most talented geniuses in Star Kingdom was only a partial Saint after getting unlimited resources from their force. Among them was Anders, a peak Sovereign Ranker.
However, this harmless-looking young man in front of Valerio had secretly surpassed all the younger generation in Star Kingdom and got into Saint Realm one step ahead of them.
How unimaginable!
How unfathomable!
Valerio could not even describe David with the words genius, the chosen one, or lunatic.
‘How did he do it?
‘I don’t think there’s someone like him in the history of Star Kingdom.”
David’s energy disappeared in a flash.
Alba was the first to come back to her senses.
Perhaps this was what they meant when they said ‘They who know nothing fears nothing’.
She had no idea that David was already at Saint Realm, so she was not as shocked.
When she saw Grandpa Val frozen on his spot, she asked in confusion, “Grandpa Val, what’s wrong? Are you okay?”
Her voice pulled Valerio, who was still stunned, back to reality.
“N-Nothing,” Valerio answered, sounding a little unnatural.
He only had one voice in his heart after coming back to his senses.
‘I must get on David’s good side!
‘This kid’s master might not only be a beginner Sacred Saint. He might even be a late or peak Sacred Saint!
‘From what I know, the grandmaster of the Palmore family is only a beginner Sacred Saint. Even if they are hiding their strength, that person would not be over mid-Sacred Saint Rank.
‘Therefore, they would need to bow their heads respectfully in front of a late or peak Sacred Saint.
“If David’s master can speak for us, then we might be able to escape the Palmore family’s control effortlessly.
*This is good news for the Fellowes family!
‘It seems that God doesn’t want the Fellowes family to die out
‘When the family was losing all hope and is about to die out, a god-like person shows up out of nowhere and runs into Alba, the direct descendant of the Fellowes family.
‘Isn’t he here to save us?’
Valerio thought excitedly to himself.
“Mr. Valerio, do you still think I’m scared of the Lightfoot family now? So what if their grandmaster comes for me? I still have my master even if I can’t defeat them. He doesn’t have a lot of good points, but he’s extremely protective of me. If i was even slightly hurt by the Lightfoot family’s grandmasters, my master might annihilate them if he gets mad.”
“M-Master David, I was too short-sighted. If you need anything in the future, please ask. We will do our best to help you,” Valerio said respectfully.
This was a world where the strong people got the final say.
Whoever was strong would be respected.
Even if Valerio was older than David, he still had to respectfully call David Master David when he was in front of a young Saint like him.
“You’re too kind, Mr. Valerio. Miss Fellowes can help me. However, if your family can support Miss Fellowes, it will be amazing. As long as I can complete my mission, I will put in a few good words about your family to my master,” David hinted.
He knew he had suppressed Valerio by releasing some of his Saint Realm energy.
Next, with the help of Treasure Trove, one of the top five trading companies, East League Trading Company would surely experience rapid growth.
“I understand. Alba, you should focus on helping Master David now. If you need anything, just tell me. You don’t need to worry about the family, I will convince them. Remember, you must make Master David happy,” Valerio looked at Alba and said seriously.
“I got it, Grandpa Val.”
