Chapter 1766
The python opened its eyes which were as big as basins before it lifted its head to stare at David. It stuck out its tongue that was emitting a chill.
“Hiss…”
Since David was hiding his strength, the python did not know how strong the person in front of it was.
Time passed second by second.
Suddenly, the python attacked.
Humans were its favourtie food.
Since this human dared to barge into its territory, he must be here to be its food.
The python approached David with its bloody mouth wide open. It wanted to swallow David and then continue its slumber.
However, when its mouth was about 5 meters away from David, the python felt as if it had run into an unshakable mountain.
Thud!
The huge shock caused the python to bounce back. Then, it went limp on the top of the mountain.
The python had a look of terror in its eyes.
It was enlightened and it knew it could not afford to provoke this human.
After it looked at David, it quickly turned to flee down the mountain after making sure it was safe. The places it slithered past were immediately thrust into chaos.
David never looked at the python this entire time, nor did he kill it.
All living things had souls and they all had a reason for being alive.
It was not easy for the python to grow to the stage where it would soon turn into a dragon. Plus, it did not hurt David, so David did not want to ruin the ecological balance here.
This was just a small interlude.
Not long after David started perching on top of the tree at the peak of the mountain, Archimedes arrived with more than 20 Sovereign Rankers and more than 10 Immortal Rankers.
When they saw David on the top of a mountain, they came not far behind David.
“David, this place is not bad. It has a nice view too, so it’s ideal to be your grave. Since this is the place you chose, you should be buried here. Don’t worry, I will find out the force behind you after you die and then uproot them. Soon, your family will be here to meet you,” Archimedes spat through gritted teeth as he looked at David’s back.
David had already become a knot in Archimedes’ heart since he first scared him into wetting his pants at the tavern and used money to trample on his dignity as the first-in-line heir at the auction.
Archimedes would not rest if he did not kill David.
Archimedes had already forgotten that he was in West End because his family sent him to investigate Cornelius’ death.
“What’s that trash’s death got to do with me?
He wanted David to die, and he wanted David to die from torture. After that, he wanted to eliminate David’s bloodline so that he would feel better.
David turned around slowly after he heard Archimedes’ voice.
He went from facing them with his back to facing them head on.
“Archimedes, I didn’t think you’d follow me. To be honest, I am impressed with your courage. Don’t you know I purposely led you here?” David asked with a smile.
“Hahaha! David, do you think I don’t know that? But so what? There’s nothing I don’t dare to do in the Central Sacred Continent. This time, I want you to know how tragic the consequences will be after you offend me. Not only you, but everyone related to you will also die. Go repent for your sins in hell!” Archiemdes guffawed and said.
He was not bothered by what David said at all.
So what if he did this on purpose?
Could he kill all of them?
Even if he wanted to, he needed to have the strength to do so.
The people Archimedes brought today could even fight a peak Sovereign Ranker, let alone a punk like David.
Archimedes found out David’s strength from Bernard.
He was just a mid-Sovereign Ranker, so what could he do in front of so many powerhouses?
Chapter 1767
“Archimedes, it’s not good to always be overconfident. It’s better to stay humble. Your family is not the decision–maker of the Central Sacred Continent and you’re not qualified to do that,” David said calmly. “Haha! What a joke! What a hilarious joke! If I can’t be the decision–maker, does it mean you can? The ignorant are indeed fearless. David, do you know what kind of family we are? Do you know us? How dare you talk nonsense here,” Archimedes mocked and laughed maniacally.
It seemed that he was trying to vent all of his dissatisfaction.
David was his prey, and he could not run.
“I don’t! But of course, I have no interest in knowing either.”
“Very good, David. I will soon let you know how strong my family is. Let’s skip the nonsense. Do you want to surrender, or do you want us to take action? You can’t escape today no matter what,” Archimedes pointed at David and said.
He could not wait to take down David.
“I never wanted to run, but I never wanted to surrender either.”
“Do you want to fight back then? Or do you want to buy time and wait for rescue? Listen to me, no one can save you today.”
“Come on then! Let me see what you have to act so arrogant in front of me,” David said casually.
His actions enraged Archimedes a lot.
From Archimedes‘ point of view, David should not have this kind of expression after he chased after him with so many powerhouses. David should kowtow and apologize. Moreover, he should kneel and beg for mercy.
In the end, who would have expected that David would not take him seriously at all?
How would Archimedes accept this?
“David, you asked for this. Attack him! Take him down! I want him to wish he was dead!” Archimedes roared.
Once he said that, the late Sovereign Ranker beside him and the powerhouses behind him charged at David after turning into flashes of light.
Meanwhile, David stood his ground, waiting for them to approach him.
Archimedes was still standing on his ground. He never intended to take action.
He was already scared in the tavern.
That was the first time he had been so close to death.
Archimedes was scared, and he did not dare to approach David. He was worried that once he did, David would kill him.
Who was he?
He was the first–in–line heir of the Lightfoot family, so how could he stoop to the same level as David?
A late Sovereign Ranker was very fast.
In a blink of an eye, Bernard and the other late Sovereign Ranker were in front of David.
The two acted at the same time and they grabbed David on either side.
When they were about to touch David, David disappeared.
He vanished from where he was standing.
The two immediately stopped in their tracks and looked around curiously.
‘What happened?
‘Why is this kid gone?‘
The space around them was not moving, so it meant David did not escape through a space crack.
Even if he wanted to do that, he needed to have a chance to do so.
David could not do that under the eyes of two late Sovereign Rankers.
However, he did disappear.
The powerhouses from behind caught up with them at this moment.
Everyone had curious looks on their faces as they looked for traces of David.
Bernard remembered something and then immediately turned his head to look at Master Archi.
There was only one person there initially, but there were two shadows now.
Bernard’s eyes narrowed.
‘David!‘
Chapter 1768
‘Oh no! Master Archi is in danger!‘
Before ma
Before he could think about how David slipped away under his eyes and went to Archimedes, Bernard rushed over to save Archimedes.
At this moment, David said mockingly, “Don’t move! If my hand shakes now, Archimedes will have to say goodbye to the world. Don’t doubt me, I have a hundred ways to kill Archimedes. Of course, if you don’t believe me, you can give it a try.”
Unbeknownst to Archimedes, David was already standing behind him. At the same time, one of his hands was on top of Archimedes‘ head.
Just like how Nek treated him when he was in the Iridescent Sect.
Unfortunately, David had his powerful mind power to protect him, so he could resist Nek’s force, but Archimedes did not.
If David exerted some force, he could smash Archimedes‘ skull and inject Saint Power into his body. No treasures of heaven and earth would be able to save him then.
Archimedes was scared out of his wits.
He did not know when David appeared behind him.
He only noticed David was behind him when David started to speak.
He did not dare to turn his head or move. He also did not dare to speak.
He was scared that David would kill him by mistake.
The threat of death filled his mind.
This was the second time in Archimedes‘ lifetime that he got so close to death, and they were both caused by the same person.
Archimedes felt that David was his nemesis, and he was sent by God to torture him.
Before he met this kid, Archimedes thrived after living for so many yea
Now, he had fallen into David’s hands twice in such a short period.
‘I shouldn’t have come here!‘
Archimedes felt so remorseful.
David’s voice worked.
Bernard was about to take action, but he stopped after hearing that.
The others were also attracted by David’s voice, and they all looked over.
When they saw David holding Master Archi, they widened their eyes and did not breathe too loudly.
Arhcimedes was not the same as Cornelius.
The first–in-line heir and the second–in–line heir were vastly different in many aspects.
If Archimedes died, the Lightfoot family would go through an earthquake.
The entire Central Sacred Continent might even shake from its wrath.
1/2
None of the people here would be able to escape.
“David, calm down! Master Archi is the first–in–line heir of the Lightfoot family. If he dies, the entire family will be alarmed, and it might even alert the Saint Realm grandmasters. If the grandmasters take action, you will be found no matter where you hide. Think about your friends and family. They will all be affected because of you,” Bernard said loudly.
As Archimedes‘ protector, he would also be punished severely by the family if he watched Archimedes die in front of him and did nothing.
They might even make him a burial offering for Archimedes.
“Don’t do anything! Please don’t! We can talk about this. We can talk about this, Sir,” the other late Sovereign Ranker said quickly.
The people Archimedes brought were all worried that Archimedes would die, regardless of if they were Immortal Rankers or Sovereign Rankers.
David ignored those people.
He continued teasing Archimedes behind him, “Archimedes, why are you not speaking? Are you scared? Will you also feel scared too? Didn’t you want me to wish I was dead? You even said you want to uproot the force behind me and annihilate my bloodline, huh?”
“D–Dávid, p–please don’t do anything stupid! Y–You w–won’t benefit from my death. W–Why don’t you let me go and then we’ll go our separate ways, w–what do you think?” Archimedes stammered.
He was already scared out of his wits now that he was facing death.
Chapter 1769
“Tsk tsk tsk, what did I say just now? It’s better to stay humble. It’s not good to be too overconfident. You thought you had me wrapped around your finger, but you never realized that to me, you’re just an ant that I could crush at any time,” David shook his hand and continued to mock.
“Yes, yes, yes. You’re right! I should have been humble and not overconfident. I was enlightened this time. let me go, I will listen to you and will never make the same mistake again,” Archimedes quickly
If you agreed.
His life was in David’s hands, so how would he dare to go against David?
Saving himself was the most important thing now.
As long as he could stay alive, Archimedes would do anything.
He would even kneel and kowtow to apologize to David, let alone agree to everything he said.
This also showed that people with a high status would still need to submit obediently in front of the threat of death.
As the saying went, ‘A living dog is better than a dead lion.‘
One would have nothing once they lost their life.
A lot of people said they were not afraid of death, but how many of them were truly unafraid when they facing death?
“Archimedes, you should be thinking of getting more powerhouses from your family to retaliate against me after you escape this, right?”
After David said that, Archimedes quickly promised, “No! I would never! David, don’t misunderstand. I never wanted to retaliate! If you let me go, I, Archimedes Lightfoot, the first–in–line heir of the Lightfoot family, swear I will never retaliate against you. We will mind our own business from now on.”
“Do you think I will believe you? Archimedes, do you think a promise would stop a selfish person like you? Only fools would believe you!” As David said that, he exerted more strength on his fingers.
As he felt David’s fingers tightening around his head, Archimedes was petrified.
He thought David was about to kill him, so he cried while sobbing, “David, Master David, Lord David, I was wrong. Please let me go! As long as you let me go, I will never retaliate against you!”
“Is this your Master Archi? The first–in–line heir and the future head of the Lightfoot family? He’s just so- so. Are you sure the family won’t collapse if it’s handed to such a craven and cowardly person?” David looked at Bernard and the others and asked.
“This is between the core seniors and grandmasters. I am only responsible for his safety, and I have no right to question it. No matter what, Master Archi is the first–in–line heir, and once he dies, the family will get the grandmasters. David, you should think properly about whether you can handle the wrath of Saints,” Bernard answered.
“Are you threatening me?”
“No! I was just stating the facts.”
“Are Saints so amazing to you all? Why do you think your grandmasters can scare me into releasing your master?” David chortled and asked.
He stunned everyone when he asked that.
me when he asked that
Everyone knew that Saints had the highest combat power in Star Kingdom.
They were all grandmasters in every force.
‘If Saints are not amazing, is there someone else more amazing than that?
‘Is this kid stupid?
‘He just asked Master Archi to stay humble but he’s looking down on Saints now.‘
“David, you can’t insult Saints. If the Saints Association hears about this, you will not have a place to hide in this vast universe. Let Master Archi go now, and we can pretend this never happened. If not, it won’t be our grandmasters who’re coming after you. Instead, it’ll be the Saints of Star Kingdom,” another late Sovereign Ranker said.
“Are you trying to scare me?” David asked indifferently.
“I’m not. Everyone in Star Kingdom knows that you can’t insult a Saint. Anyone who dares to go against it will have to pay a huge price or even lose their life. What you said has already insulted the Saints.”
“I can’t insult a Saint, huh? Yeah, this is a good rule. I like it.”
“David, what the hell do you want?” Bernard finally asked, unable to hold himself back anymore.
Chapter 1770
“What do I want? I want to ask you what you want after following me for so long?” David asked.
“We’re admitting defeat this time. What should we do for you to let Master Archi go? Just tell us. I know you should have your demands since you haven’t taken action after so long. Tell us and we’ll fulfill it for you.”
“Alright. I’ll tell you what I want. If you can help me take care of something, I will let him go,” David thought about it and said.
Bernard did not say anything.
Archimedes, who was under David’s control, cried impatiently, “Tell us! Tell us now! David, as long as you tell us, I will do my best to help you. There’s nothing I can’t do on the Central Sacred Continent!”
“When I was making my way here not long ago, I ran into a pretty arrogant guy, and I got into a conflict with him. He wanted to kill me, but he failed. So, I killed him. His family should be coming for me soon. Can you help me with that?”
“Sure sure sure! Of course! David, leave this to me. If his family dares to come to you, I will surely help you take care of it. No one on the Central Sacred Continent dares to disrespect me,” Archimedes yelled as if he had spotted a glimpse of hope.
It would be fine if David had any demands.
He was worried that David would be stubborn and then directly kill him.
If that happened, he would be so aggrieved.
“Right, before that guy died, he told me his name was Cornelius Lightfoot. You are Archimedes Lightfoot and you both have Lightfoot as your surname. Moreover, your names are both super pretentious so I’m guessing you should know each other,” David said while pretending to be dumb.
‘What?
‘Cornelius?
‘David was the one who killed Cornelius?‘
The smile on Archimedes‘ face froze.
Then, his body started to shake, and an intense fear filled his heart.
Since David dared to kill Cornelius, would he also dare to kill him?
Bernard and the other powerhouses were all stunned as they stood in the distance.
The reason they were here was that the family asked them to investigate Cornelius‘ death.
Who knew that the murderer was right in front of them?
At the same time, he also had Master Archimedes as a hostage now.
They were not idiots, and they could tell that David was playing them for fools.
Archimedes Lightfoot and Cornelius Lightfoot. One could tell from a glance that they were related, so how could David not know it too?
Furthermore, Cornelius had definitely told David that he was the second–in–line heir of the Lightfoot family before he was killed.
Bernard stared at David as his brain raced.
‘Why did David tell them that he had killed Cornelius?
‘Is he trying to make amends with the Lightfoot family in return for Master Archi’s life?
‘No!
‘He’s not an idiot, so he’ll know there will be no way in hell that we will reconcile.
‘He killed the second–in–line heir and now he wants to use the first–in–line heir’s life to reconcile?
‘How would that work?
‘What is David trying to do? 1
‘He knows there’s no way this matter will end peacefully, but he still said it.
‘Is he not scared of the Lightfoot family’s retaliation?‘
Bernard shuddered suddenly, then he looked at David in disbelief.
‘Unless… He wants to kill all of us?‘
