Chapter 1861
West End of the Central Sacred Continent.
A middle-aged man was hovering above Treasure Trove.
He was not hiding how strong he was.
Terrifying energy was emitting from his entire body.
A True Saint! That middle-aged man was a True Saint! The people gathering around Treasure Trove were very excited to see this shocking scene.
They were looking at a living and breathing True Saint.
That was the highest combat power second only to Sacred Saint in Star Kingdom.
Countless people were looking at the sky in admiration.
Even though the energy coming from the True Saint was making them scared to look directly at him, this still did not stop everyone from wanting to worship him.
That man was too dazzling.
The Lightfoot family members below were in an uproar.
Their True Saint grandmaster was here, so how could they not feel frantic and excited? They almost screamed out loud, but they did not because they did not want to distract the grandmaster.
Cosme stood in the air right above Treasure Trove.
He was here to solve the problem his family had not taken care of after so long.
The first and second -in-line heirs were dead, but his family members were still quibbling over here.
He had no idea what was going on in their heads.
If Koen did not pass the message back saying that David, the murderer who killed the first-in-line heir of the Lightfoot family Archimedes, was hiding in Treasure Trove whilst being protected by the Fellowes family without being handed over, Cosmo would still have been kept in the dark.
The Fellowes family was already at the end of their rope, so how dare they go against the Lightfoot family? Even though they were not being controlled by the Palmore family, the Lightfoot family would still not be scared of the Fellowes family.
Although the Fellowes family had three True Saints while the Lightfoot family only had two, two of the Fellowes family’s three True Saints were still recovering and it was hard to determine how much power they could use.
Meanwhile, the Lightfoot family’s True Saints were healthy, and they could use their full strength.
The two families had to fight to find out who would win without external help.
Now, the Palmore family wanted Treasure Trove, the Fellowes family’s cash cow.
In the end, the two families would surely have a fallout.
Meanwhile, the Lightfoot family would be getting closer and closer to the Ginger family.
Considering one rising and the other was declining, what qualifications would the Fellowes family have to fight with the Lightfoot family? Were they dragging someone down with them since they knew they were going to die anyway? However, the Fellowes family must have the same level of strength if they wanted to drag the Lightfoot family down with them.
With Cosmo’s fiery temper, he would not bother about all this.
He would attack whenever he should.
At this moment, someone came from the ground.
This was Koen, the Pre-Saint from the Lightfoot family.
“Grandmaster!”
Koen came to Cosmo and greeted him respectfully.
One was middle-aged while one was old.
It seemed that Koen was older but in reality, Cosmo was much older than Koen.
This was because Cosmo had consumed a very rare treasure of heaven and earth which caused his body to change.
In reality, most Saints would let nature take its course when it came to their bodies, and they would not actively modify them.
---------Ads----------
---------------------------------------
Chapter 1862
They would pay more attention to strength.
According to ancient records, letting nature run its course would make it easier for people to reach their goals and better perceive the world.
Their cultivation would also be faster.
Only a very small number of Saints would care about their appearance and would try their best to find all kinds of treasures of heaven and earth to change themselves.
Cosmo was obviously one of them.
“Koen, is this how you do your job? Now that you’ve confirmed that the murderer is here, what are you waiting for? The family entrusted you with the matter, and this is what you’re doing? You’re embarrassing the entire family in front of so many people,” Cosmo questioned.
“Grandmaster, you misunderstood! I have already approached Roald and asked him for David, but he refused! The guy from the Saints Association was also there at the time.Plus, Roald admitted that David is in Treasure Trove, but he refuses to hand David over, so what can I do?” Koen said aggrievedly.
“You can’t do anything if they won’t give you David? Can’t you catch him yourself?”
“Grandmaster, you have no idea.This is West End after all, and it is the Fellowes family’s territory.We haven’t dispatched enough force.If we forcefully act, it will only cause mutual damage, and our losses will be even greater.That’s why I sent the news back to the family to ask for support, but I didn’t expect you to come.Now, we can show the Fellowes family our strength and show them the consequences of offending us,” Koen explained.
“Hmph!”
Cosmo huffed and did not speak anymore.He was agreeing with what Koen said.
They were in other people’s territory, so they would surely suffer if they were not powerful enough.
It would be truly embarrassing if they took action and lost.
Cosmo loved to use violence, but he would not attack someone stronger than him.He knew his own strength.
Koen also let out a sigh of relief and wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead.
His life would be a living hell if he could not make this grandmaster happy today.
Cosmo was a famous fighter, and he had a hot temper.
He would attack regardless of if he was at the right or not.
In his opinion, anyone with the biggest fist would be the boss.
He would fight whenever there was a disagreement.
If he could convince his opponent with force, then his word was law.
If he could not convince the opponent, then he would simply kill them.
Koen did not understand why the family allowed Cosmo to come out.
Of course, no one could stop Cosmo if he wanted to come, not even the other True Saint grandmaster of the family.
The two’s conversation was blocked and did not get transmitted down below.
The people below could only watch the two chatting in the air.
However, no one knew what they were talking about.
Moby from the Saints Association was also there.
As he looked at Cosmo hovering in the air, he frowned unconsciously.
‘Why is that guy here? ‘This might get a little tricky.
‘If Cosmo hurts David and alerts David’s master who’s hiding in the dark, then things will get out of control.”
Moby imagined what would happen next.
Cosmo caught David and under everyone’s watchful gaze, he would seriously injure or even kill David to reaffirm the Lightfoot family’s prestige.
At the same time, he would tell everyone this was the consequence of offending the Lightfoot family.
After that, David’s master would find out about this and then head to the Lightfoot family with endless fury to fight with the two True Saints and countless Pre-Saints of the Lightfoot family.
Based on Moby’s prediction, the chances of David’s master being a Sacred Saint were very huge.
If a personal disciple of a Sacred Saint was killed, the Ginger family might only show up to appease this Sacred Saint blinded with fury.
They might not even help.
In the end, the Lightfoot family would face a high possibility of being annihilated.
This would have a great impact on Central Region.
‘No, I have to tell TSA this as soon as I can.”
This was no longer in his jurisdiction.
A Pre-Saint like him did not even have the qualifications to intervene in this matter.
Chapter 1863
Cosmo and Koen hovered about Treasure Trove, waiting for the Fellowes family’s answer.
However, those three did not stand together.
Instead, they were split into two teams.
On one side was Roald by himself, while Tai and Anders were on the other side.
The Lightfoot, Fellowes, and Palmore family members were hovering in the air staring at each other like a balance of forces.
After Tai showed up, Cosmo started staring at him.
As a true Saint, he would only attach value to Tai, another True Saint.
However, Cosmo did not expect another True Saint to be hiding in Treasure Trove.
“Cosmo!”
“pai! ”
The True Saints called out each other’s names.
“I didn’t expect you to be here,”
Cosmo said with a dark face.
The Palmore family was the Fellowes family’s backer.
Even though the Palmore family was ambitious and the two families would have a fallout soon, they were not yet at that stage.
Meanwhile, the Palmore and Ginger families were also at odds with each other among the six top forces.
Therefore, Tai seemed to be coming for Cosmo no matter how one looked at it.
However, Cosmo did not understand how Tai knew he was there.
Or had he been waiting? At this moment, Cosmo had a question in his heart.
‘Who is David? ‘He’s just a brat who’s less than a thousand years old.
‘However, I’m a True Saint but I met so much resistance after arriving here.
‘with Tai around, I don’t think I can easily catch David today.”
“If you can come here, why can’t I?”
Tai replied coldly.
The two families were initially at odds, so he did not need to be kind to Cosmo.
“Tai, are you planning to intervene in our business?” Cosmo asked in a deep voice.
Since the facts were right in front of his eyes, he could not stop himself from asking.
However, Tai’s answer was out of Cosmo’s expectations.
“No, you misunderstood.We’re not going to intervene in your business.I’m just here to join in the fun,” Tai suddenly answered with a laugh.
If he did not have a fight with Roald that caused the two families to almost have a fallout, he would not have allowed Cosmo to wreak havoc over here.
However, things were different now.
Since Roald was so stubborn and insisted on passing what Anders said back to the family, Tai would let him deal with Cosmo himself.
Coincidentally, he could join in on the fun.
If the Lightfoot and Fellowes families fought, Tai hoped both sides would lose.
Then, the Palmore family could use this chance to take down the Fellowes family in one fell swoop.
That way, he could minimize his losses.
Why not?
“Oh? You’re not going to intervene?”
Cosmo was clearly doubting him.
“Yeah! Don’t you see that we’re not standing together? This is enough to tell you what’s going on, right? He can take care of his family business himself.I just happened to pass by and am here to join in the fun,” Tai said meaningfully.
Cosmo looked at Tai and then at Roald.
He noticed that there was indeed a problem between these two families.
‘Are they finally having a fallout? ‘Why haven’t I heard about it? ‘It’s impossible that no news got out concerning something so big, right? ‘I don’t think there is a fallout yet.
‘Perhaps the Fellowes family were thinking of ways to protect themselves and the Palmore family found out about this.
‘This means they are starting to have a fallout and they will start tearing into each other soon.”
Chapter 1864
“Tai, you said you won’t interfere.I hope you can be a man of your word in front of so many people in Star Kingdom.”
“sure!”
After getting a positive answer from Tai, Cosmo shifted his gaze to Roald and said, “Roald, hand over David, and then apologize to the Lightfoot family in front of everyone.After that, we’ll let this matter go and we won’t pursue your family anymore.What do you say?”
“No way!” Roald replied calmly.
“Are you rejecting me?”
Cosmo was stunned for a moment.
Then, he came back to his senses and asked in a sinister tone.
“David is an honored guest of Treasure Trove.No one can take him away unless he walks out by himself,” Roald answered irrelevantly.
“In other words, you think I can’t take him away?”
“If you want to take him away, you will have to step over my dead body.”
“I’m curious! Roald, do you think I dare not do this? Or do you think I am weak?” Cosmo asked with interest.
‘Roald is a mere Pre-Saint.
‘So how dare he say such a thing in front of me, a True Saint?’ If Tai was siding with the Fellowes family, then Cosmo would be uncertain whether he could take David away.
However, now that Tai had made it clear that he would not participate in this, so where did Roald get the courage to say that? “T think you’ll regret this!”
Roald replied inexplicably.
This confused many people.
Only Moby could understand what he was saying.
Because among these people, only he knew David’s strength and the background behind him.
If Cosmo really touched David today, he would regret it when David’s master went after him.
Not just him, but the whole Lightfoot family would suffer as well.
“Roald, you are too confident.Even if I raze this place to the ground and take David away today, your family may not even dare to go to war with my family.Do you believe this?”
Cosmo sneered.
Tai’s performance today spoke for itself.
The Palmore and Fellowes families had reached the brink of an acrimonious falling out.
Cosmo did not believe that the Fellowes family would dare to fight the Lightfoot family with all their strength at this time.
Therefore, he could take action regardless of the consequences today.
“I believe you, but I can guarantee that you will regret everything you do today as well, and it won’t be too long until that day comes.I hope you can bear it by then.”
Roald’s expression was still so calm.
He knew he was not Cosmo’s match.
The gap between the two was too great.
However, he also knew that Cosmo would not kill him, so he would just do his best to stop this and leave the rest to fate.
Even if something happened to David, his master would not blame the Fellowes family either.
Instead, the Lightfoot family would be doomed.
However, in this way, the Fellowes family’s hopes of getting rid of the Palmore family would be dashed.
Roald did not want anything to happen to David.
“Very good! Since you are so confident, I want to see how you want to make me regret it.”
After Cosmo said that, a cold light flashed in his eyes and his energy surged again.
Then, he asked sharply, “Roald, !’ll give you one last chance.Are you going to hand David over or not?”
There was an eerie silence in the sky.
All the members of the Lightfoot family below looked enthusiastically at the extremely domineering Cosmo.
This was the power and influence of a True Saint, and only other True Saints could compare.
Pre- Saints would not even be qualified to face him.
Meanwhile, the Fellowes family was feeling nervous for Roald.
They were worried that Cosmo would kill him without batting an eyelid.
It was very easy for a True Saint to kill a Pre-Saint.
The rest of them watching were enjoying this.It was very rare to encounter a collision between two big families.
They were not worried that they would be implicated.
There were too many people gathering here.
People from various forces were here, including Anders from the Six and most of the geniuses from Star Kingdom.
With the forces behind these people combined, Star Kingdom might be turned upside down.
Cosmos was not stupid, so even if he were to attack, he would avoid harming the crowd below.
Chapter 1865
Of course, David naturally heard the voices of Cosmo and others talking in the air.
A Saint’s perception was very strong.
Even if David did not release his mind power, he could still hear their conversation.
When Cosmo came over to Treasure Trove and called out for Roald to hand over David, David knew that this person was definitely a True Saint.
In addition, he was not just a beginner True Saint.
This was because the power exuded by the other party was too strong.
The arrival of the Lightfoot family’s True Saint caused David to immediately become like an ant on a hot griddle.
He was pacing back and forth in his room, praying in his heart that Alba would hurry up.
‘I hope the transaction will be completed before the other party takes action.
I also hope I will have time to improve after the transaction is completed.”
Either way, David would curse out loud no matter which situation it was.
Currently, David could not resist a True Saint.
Moreover, Cosmo was definitely more than a beginner True Saint.
Alba also heard Cosmo’s voice.
Just at this time, she finally completed the liquidation task after her unremitting efforts day and night.
She could not wait to tell David.
When David received the news from Alba, his eyes sparkled, and he almost jumped up in excitement.
He would still have some time if Roald delayed things a little longer.
After hanging up her call with David, Alba immediately contacted Valerio.
The two rushed to David’s room together.
Grandmaster Roald was no match for the Lightfoot family’s True Saint.
So, it was not safe here.
Valerio also panicked in his heart.
While David was waiting anxiously…
Knock knock knock! There was a knock on the door.
He came to the door in an instant and opened the door.
Alba was standing outside with Valerio holding a stack of documents in his hand.
“Miss Fellowes, Mr.Valerio, please come in quickly,”
David said quickly.
After the two entered the room, Valerio said, “Master David, the Lightfoot family’s True Saint Cosmo has arrived suddenly.I believe you have heard of this too.”
“Yeah, I heard that, but Mr.Valerio, let’s not talk about that now.Let’s finish the transaction first! I will then report to my master, and then I can raise the conditions.”
David had no mood to talk about these now.
This was very urgent.
The important things right now was to complete the transaction, get lavish points, and improve his strength.
He could talk about everything else after the crisis was resolved.
Valerio originally wanted to talk about the situation he was facing now, but since he saw how nervous David was, he only replied with one word.
“Alright.”
Then, he asked Alba to prepare the materials.
301 branches of Treasure Trove, together with the various resources stored in it, were all sold to David.
Each of them had its own sales agreement, which clearly stated the location, floor area, and stored resources.
These details filled the entire piece of paper which needed to be signed by David and Valerio.
Alba originally wanted to talk David through this, but David did not care.
Even if he was not in a hurry, he would not listen.
Furthermore, the enemies were at the gate now.
Valerio and David began to sign the papers one by one and stamped their fingerprints.
301 agreements were signed soon.
In the end, Alba summed it up and it came to a total of 205 trillion Star Dollars.
This amount did not reach the 230 trillion that David expected, and he could not be upgraded to peak True Saint, only to late True Saint.
2 million and 50 thousand lavish points, in addition to David’s original 660 thousand, would add up to 2.71 million.
Two million was used to upgrade his Body and Mind to True Saint.
With the remaining 710 thousand, he could continue to improve his Body to True Saint level 8.
The corresponding strength would be late True Saint.
Although this was less than expected, it was more than enough for David to get out of the current crisis.
Alba then provided David with Treasure Trove’s public account number.
David used the system to transfer all the money.
The money was transferred, the agreements were signed, and the fingerprints were stamped.

---------------------------------------
That was it!
Chapter 1866
David’s deal with Treasure Trove was completed.He did not care if Alba and Valerio were in the room.He could not wait to open his system.He skipped the front and went straight to the last part.
[Lavish points: 2715348] A look of surprise appeared in David’s eyes.
As the transaction was completed and the lavish points were in his account, David could now upgrade his strength.
He was staring straight at the lavish points on his system panel while chuckling to himself.
Meanwhile, Alba was sitting opposite him.
Valerio and Alba could not see David’s system.
What they could see was David staring at Alba while chucking.
He looked so happy too.
Alba’s eyes met David’s.
She noticed that David’s smile was genuine, and his eyes were filled with sincerity.
This made her plump and youthful face under the veil turn red, her heart was also pounding rapidly against her chest.
She kept wondering why David was smiling at her.
‘Does he like me? ‘He has never even seen my face! ‘What should I do if he confesses his feelings to me now? ‘David is a Saint, and he has a Sacred Saint master, so my family won’t say no, right?’ The
more Alba thought about this, the redder her face became.
Valerio also noticed something was wrong with the two.
‘What are they doing? ‘Are they casting amorous glances at each other? ‘How brazen!’ Valerio had a pretty good impression of David.
He was a Saint at a young age, but he was so low profile.
He was not as arrogant as the other Saints too.
Not like Anders from the Star Kingdom Six.
He was just a partial Saint, but he wanted to throw a party.
He was so desperate for the entire Star Kingdom to know of this.
The key was that David’s identity was not simple.
He was a direct disciple of a Sacred Saint.
His identity was enough to intimidate a lot of people.
If Alba ended up with David, then David would have absolutely no reason not to help the Fellowes family.
By then, when David himself became the Sacred Saint, the Fellowes family would have a Sacred Saint as a son-in-law.
This would be an indestructible relationship.
At that time, who would dare to peek at the wealth of the Fellowes family and disrespect the Fellowes family? When he thought about this, Valerio glanced at Alba calmly, and then quietly gave her a look.
He was telling her to hold on to this man.He would be her chance to change her destiny and the fate of the Fellowes family.
Alba had been with Valerio for many years, so she naturally understood what he was trying to say.
She silently took off her veil to let David see her face clearly.
This was the first time that Alba took off her veil in front of outsiders after she got engaged to Anders.
Under the veil was a stunning face.
It was fair and supple, like it could burst at any second.
At the same time, she was blushing slightly, which made her look even more tempting.
Alba had absolute confidence in her appearance.
David was fascinated by the number of his lavish points.
When he recovered, he found that Valerio and Alba were still in the room.
Thus, he quickly put away the system panel.
Then, what he saw was Alba’s appearance after taking off the veil.
‘How gorgeous!’ That was David’s first impression.
However, at the same time, he also had some doubts.
‘Why is she taking off her veil for no reason?’ 1 So, he asked, “Miss Fellowes, why did you take off your veil?”
“Huh? Uh…”
Alba fell into a daze.
Chapter 1867
The peaceful atmosphere above Treasure Trove did not last long.
Among the crowd, someone from the Fellowes family shouted,” Grandmaster, hand David over to the Lightfoot family! He only has a cooperative relationship with Treasure Trove. We don’t want to fight to the death for the sake of a stranger.”
If one person spoke, there would naturally be a second, a third… and even countless others.
“Yeah! Grandmaster Roald, hand over David. He’s not from the Fellowes family. We don’t need to offend the Lightfoot family because of him, right?”
‘Yes! I agree to surrender David.”
“I agree!”
Countless members of the Fellowes family spoke.
They all expressed that they wanted Grandmaster Roald to hand David over.
Roald glanced at the Fellowes family below but ignored them.
‘What a bunch of short-sighted guys.
‘Do I look like an idiot?
‘Will I turn against the Lightfoot family over a useless stranger?
‘If it weren’t for David’s strength and his Sacred Saint master, why would I be so desperate to protect him?’
“Roald, did you hear that? This is the will of the Fellowes family. Now that your family is asking you to hand over David. Are you going to continue to be stubborn and go against their wishes?” Koen asked.
“I told you, unless David comes out by himself, you can’t take him away.”
Even though everyone in the Fellowes family suggested handing over David, Roald still did not budge.
He knew with David’s perception as a Saint, he had definitely heard everything.
How could Roald miss this perfect opportunity to flatter David?
It was just the Lightfoot family.
He would not mind offending them.
Compared to a genius like David with a bright future and a deep background, the Fellowes family would naturally choose to side with David without hesitation.
Moreover, David was the Fellowes family’s hope of getting rid of the Palmore family.
“Roald, you are so stubborn! Have you ever considered that the Fellowes family will fall into the abyss because of you?”
‘This is my family’s matter, and it’s not something for you, an outsider, to worry about it!”
“Y-You are so stubborn!” Koen cursed angrily.
“Grandmaster! We, the Fellowes family, are not afraid of a fight, but we don’t want to fight for someone who has nothing to do with us.”
‘That’s right, Grandmaster! Even if we die, it will be worthwhile. We can’t just die for no reason. Just say yes to the Lightfoot family!”
“Grandmaster! Please think twice.”
The Fellowes family began to persuade Roald again.
They did not understand why the grandmaster was doing everything he could to help David.
He did not even hesitate to offend a big family like the Lightfoot family for him.
‘Is David more important than the entire Fellowes family?’
“Shut up!” Roald snapped loudly.
Those scoundrels kept asking over and over to hand David to the Lightfoot family.
If David heard this, he would definitely feel resentful.
If he mentioned this to his master when the time came, the fate of the Fellowes family might change again.
Roald’s words made the Fellowes family afraid to continue persuading them.
However, it was clear from their eyes that they were not happy.
They would not hesitate to die for the glory of the Fellowes family.
However, no one would be willing to die for an unrelated stranger.
“Remember, this is not my decision, but the entire family’s. As a Fellowes, I don’t need you to doubt me. The only thing you need to do is to carry out the family’s orders, do you understand?” Roald asked loudly.
Even though they were not happy, the Fellowes family members answered together,
“Understand!”
Koen looked at Roald furiously.
Chapter 1868
He did not know how he could convince such a stubborn man, so he could only hand him over to the grandmaster.
Deep in the Treasure Trove.
Valerio broke the awkward atmosphere inside the room where David was and said,
“Master David, the transaction has been completed, but this was only approved by the Fellowes family, not TSA. The grandmaster of the Palmore family is the deputy head of TSA and he has a lot of power. If you really want to take over these properties of
Treasure Trove, I’m afraid you have to ask your master to come out in person.”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Valerio! As long as you, the head, sign the deal, the transaction will be considered complete. It’s not up to the Palmore family to intervene in our affairs,”
David replied immediately.
He had obtained the lavish points, so it proved that the system had acknowledged that the transaction was complete.
It did not matter whether the Palmore family acknowledged it or not.
Anyway, all David needed were the lavish points.
As for those traded industries, would the Palmore family dare to stop him from taking over once his strength rose?
‘That’s good!”
Valerio breathed a sigh of relief.
After such a long time of hard work, he finally helped David complete the task.
‘I should be able to meet David’s master soon.
‘I hope my efforts were not in vain.’
The Fellowes family would be able to take this opportunity to escape the Palmore family’s control.
While Valerio was thinking to himself, David said, “Mr. Valerio, I still need your help.”
“Master David, what is it? I will definitely try my best to help you regardless of if I can do it or not.”
“Mr. Valerio, go out now and tell Roald that he must delay for a little longer. I will contact my master right away. There are some things that I must get his permission for before I can do them,” David said solemnly.
Even though he had the lavish points, the crisis was not over yet. He had to use up the lavish points to improve his strength to be considered a success. He could not be disturbed during this time.
“Okay! Don’t worry, Master David! I’ll go out and tell Grandmaster Roald that the Lightfoot family has to kill all of us if they want to catch you,” Valerio agreed without thinking.
In his opinion, how much time would it take to contact a person?
At most, it would only be a quarter of an hour.
The Fellowes family could buy this time.
However, they did not know that David’s breakthrough and improvement of strength would take far more than a quarter of an hour.
“Mr. Valerio, don’t worry. I, David Lidell, will always remember the kindness of the Fellowes family in my heart.”
“We can rest assured now that you’ve said that, Master David.”
“Before I take the initiative to come out, you must not disturb me.”
“I understand.”
Valerio left the room with the blushing Alba.
After the two left, David immediately sat cross-legged on the bed, unleashed his mind energy, and blocked the room to prevent anyone from disturbing him.
Then, he opened the system panel.
After clicking on the plus sign behind Body, a window popped up.
[This breakthrough will consume one million lavish points. After the breakthrough, the host’s Body will change from Pre-Saint level 10 to True Saint level 1. Please confirm whether to proceed.]
David chose yes without hesitation.
A burst of white light flashed, and the system panel disappeared.
After he closed his eyes, David carefully felt the changes in his body.
Pre-Saints and True Saints were both Saints.
David already had a Saint’s body, so this breakthrough would not take too long.
Chapter 1869
After Alba left the room, she put on the veil again.She was still a little confused.
Just now, David was obviously staring at her blankly.
As a result, she brought him back to his senses after she took off the veil.
Was he disappointed with her looks?
Impossible!
Alba was very confident in her appearance.
Otherwise, Anders would not ask her to wear a veil after the engagement.
Now, the facts were right here.
David came back to his senses after she took off her veil.
Thus, Alba was starting to doubt herself.
Just like that, Alba followed Valerio and quickly went up to a pavilion with a heavy heart. Under the gaze of countless people, she flew into the air and went to Roald’s side.
“Grandmaster!”
“Grandmaster!”
The two shouted at the same time.
“What are you two doing here? Hurry down.” Roald said, frowning.
Cosmo would not dare to kill him for fear of triggering the Fellowes family’s counterattack, but it did not mean he would not dare to kill the two juniors, Valerio and Alba.
“Grandmaster! Master David asked me to tell you that he needs your help to delay as long as possible. He is contacting his master and he will be able to solve the trouble soon.”
Valerio melted the soundwaves into a thread that entered Roald’s ear without spreading.
This was a unique method of sound transmission, but it would be best to use it in close proximity.
If it was too far away, someone might overhear it.
Roald was shocked when he heard that.
An astonishing gleam burst out of his eyes.
‘David is contacting his master? The Sacred Saint hiding in the dark?
‘This means as long as I hold on for a little longer, the family will be saved.’
At this second, Roald was filled with energy.
“Are you sure?”
Roald transmitted the sound in the same way.
‘Yes!” Valerio answered.
“Alright, I got it. You should go down now. I can take care of this myself.”
“Grandmaster, this is the most critical time for our family, let us stay here with you.”
Valerio and Alba’s arrival immediately attracted the attention of countless onlookers below.
Everyone started talking.
The people here were from all over the Star Kingdom.
Some knew Alba, and some did not.
“Hey! Isn’t that Valerio, the head of Treasure Trove? Who is that veiled woman?
Judging from her figure, she seems like another peerless beauty.”
“Brother, don’t you know who she is? Which hole did you crawl out of?”
“Is she famous?”
“Of course! That’s the third young mistress of the Fellowes family, Alba, a famous and talented woman on the Central Sacred Continent. Not only is she talented, but she’s also beautiful.”
‘Then why is she wearing a veil?”
‘You don’t know? My nickname is Know-It-All. Allow me to tell you about this. Did you see that young man in the Palmore family’s team?”
‘Yes!”
“He is one of the Star Kingdom Six, Anders Palmore, the first-in-line heir of the Palmore family. Not long ago, broke through partial Saint Realm at a young age, and he’s basking in the limelight.”
“I know this! Who doesn’t know about Master Anders? Get to the point.”
“Master Anders is engaged to Alba, the third young mistress of the Fellowes family. Miss Fellowes never wore a veil before, but ever since the two got engaged, Miss Fellowes put on a veil. It is said that
Master Anders requested it. He said he is the only one who can look at his woman.”
“I see! This is in line with his character. So domineering!”
‘Yes, but we lost our benefits. Since then, Miss Fellowes always wears a veil wherever she goes.”
Many such discussions popped up.
After Alba came to Roald’s side, she did not look at the members of the Lightfoot family but looked at the members of the Palmore family on the other side.
Her eyes fell on Anders, her fiance in name.
Sure enough, he was here.
Thankfully, she had helped David with his mission.
As soon as David’s Sacred Saint master got here, the Fellowes family would see a glimmer of hope and they would not care about the fallout with the Palmore family.
They could even choose to put up a fight.
By then, their engagement would also be called off.
Anders spotted Alba too.
Finally, he remembered that he was engaged to Alba.
Chapter 1870
For people like Anders, a woman was just a tool.
Strength and status were what he pursued.
Now that he had both, would he lack women?
Even so, when he heard many people below praising Alba, it filled him with a great sense of satisfaction.
He had indeed asked Alba to wear a veil.
Since she was Anders’ fiancee, she must be conscious and only let him appreciate her.
At this time, Alba suddenly made a decision that shocked everyone.
She raised her right hand and placed it next to her left ear.
Then, she took her veil off, revealing the peerless face under the veil.
A slight smile from her could touch the hearts of countless men.
Alba’s move stunned everyone present.
The scene fell into a brief silence.
All the men below were like animals as they stared blankly at the beautiful figure in the sky.
Immediately afterward, countless exclamations and praises erupted from the crowd,
“Damn, what a peerless beauty! She’s so beautiful!”
“It’s been so long since I saw her face and I didn’t expect her to look even more stunning than before!”
“How devastatingly beautiful!”
“Sure enough, I didn’t come in vain this time. It’s worth it to see the true face of Miss Fellowes!”
After the admiration, someone also started to question her.
“Didn’t you just say Miss Fellowes’ fiance, Master Anders, wanted her to wear a veil so that other men won’t look at her? Why is she removing her veil now? She’s even doing it in front of Master Anders and so many men!”
“H-How would I know?”
“Aren’t you a Know-It-All?”
‘Yes, but there are still things I don’t know about.”
‘Tch, what an undeserved reputation!”
Anders felt his face turning hot.
He never expected Alba to remove her veil in front of so many people.
Wasn’t she purposely humiliating him?
Just now, he was feeling good since everyone was praising his fiance.
Now, he was immediately slapped in the face.
Anders stared at Alba with an unpleasant expression on his face.
He wanted to go over there and slap that shrew.
Alba looked at him without fear.
In truth, she did this not only to disgust Anders.
She also wanted to make sure that she still had her charm.
What David did just now caused Alba to be filled with some self-doubt, so she could not wait to test if she was no longer attractive.
She had coincidentally pissed Anders off while she was at it.
Another reason she did that was to help David buy a little time.
If this were the past, Alba would not dare to do that.
Now that David was already contacting his master, she did not have any scruples.
It turned out that she was still very attractive.
Every man who saw her for the first time would lose his mind for a moment.
However, Alba did not understand why David was not affected.
‘Does he prefer me to wear a veil?
‘What a strange preference.’
It only took a very short time for Valerio and Alba to come into the air before Alba took off her veil to cause a sensation.
Cosmo had given Roald enough time, but it seemed that the Fellowes family was determined to protect David.
In that case, they should not blame him for being merciless.
