Chapter 1931
“Zenon, I won’t pass your proposal.” Sid did not delay this time but refused directly.
“Why?” Zenon did not seem surprised and asked calmly.
He probably also knew that Sid had been stalling before.
“Do you know how much damage this proposal will cause Star Kingdom if it is passed? How much internal friction will there be? How many Saints will die? This will be a disaster for Star Kingdom,” Sid said aggressively.
“Lord Sid, I know that the mission of your family is to protect Star Kingdom, and I have always respected you, but I want to tell you you’re doing the wrong thing.” Zenon shook his head, still looking calm.
“Oh? I’m wrong? How am I wrong? Tell me.”
“You want to protect everyone’s safety, and there’s nothing wrong about that, but don’t you know that it will make everyone in Star Kingdom become flowers in the greenhouse? The powerful people grow step by step through battles. Without battles, where will we get powerful people? Don’t you realize that ever since you made the rules, there are fewer and fewer new Saints appearing? Even if they become Saints, they are also the kind of weaklings with no combat experience, which is worse than how they were before. If this continues, Star Kingdom will come to an end sooner or later, and…” Zenon said a lot in one breath.
Sid started frowning gradually as he listened to Zenon. This guy was acting differently from before, it seemed that he came prepared.
“Zenon, I understand what you’re saying, but I still don’t agree with your proposal because once it is passed, it will inevitably cause chaos in Star Kingdom. There will be countless casualties. Such a result is something that the entire Star Kingdom does not want to see.”
“Lord Sid, isn’t it just right to cause chaos in Star Kingdom? Survival of the fittest is the rule and also the law of nature. Why do you want to forcefully interfere with it of your own will? Just like a chrysalis breaks out of a cocoon and becomes a butterfly. The process of breaking free may seem dangerous, but every chrysalis has to go through it. If you can’t bear to see it and decide to help it, you will harm it instead,” Zenon continued to persuade him earnestly.
“Zenon, what you said is too one-sided. If Star Kingdom is in chaos, the strong will only get stronger and the weak will have no chance to stand out. As long as I am the head of the Saints Association, I will not pass your proposal, so stop talking nonsense. I still have something to do. You can go.” Sid began to get impatient. He knew what Zenon meant. As long as this proposal was passed, the Palmore family would be the first to start a war.
Then, Star Kingdom would be in chaos and get reshuffled.
After the integration of resources, most of them would fall into the hands of major forces, and ordinary people would never have the chance to stand out.
The Saints Association would also exist only in name.
Survival of the fittest was indeed a law of nature. However, as the head of the Saints Association, Sid would not stand aside and watch Star Kingdom become a breeding ground for evil where only the strong could survive. He wanted to guard this place.
He wanted to let ordinary people live and work in peace and contentment, and also have the opportunity to grow.
This was the mission of the Griswold family. It was also the direction that Sid had been working hard for.
At the very least, Star Kingdom had been quiet for a long time after he made the rules.
“Gosh, you’re so stubborn. Why can’t I get through to you?” Zenon sighed helplessly.
“Since you know you can’t get through to me, why bother coming here to say all these useless things? Get out of here, I don’t have time to waste with you.” Sid did not show Zenon respect and started to chase him away.
“Since you said that you won’t pass this proposal as long as you are still the head of the Saints Association, then, Sid, you shouldn’t be the head of the Saints Association anymore. You should retire to the second line to enjoy the rest of your life.”
As soon as Zenon said that, the scene immediately fell into an eerie silence.
The atmosphere was also getting more and more solemn.
Even the surrounding void became distorted with tiny cracks appearing.
The two Sacred Saints were confronting each other.
Any leakage of their energy would be horrific.
Even True Saint would need to stay out of the way for a while.
Sid finally started to pay attention as he stared carefully at Zenon in front of him.
‘Resign from the head of the Saints Association and retire to the second line to enjoy the rest of my life?
‘Who the hell gave him the courage to say that?
‘It seems that I was right. ‘Zenon really came prepared this time.’
Chapter 1932
However, Sid still did not quite understand how this guy would dare to say such things in front of him.
Was it because it had been too long since Sid had done anything, so everyone thought they could bully him?
Not only did some people dare to violate the ban and kill a Saint, causing heaven and earth to mourn, but there was also someone who dared to tell Sid to give up his position as the head of the Saints Association.
“Zenon! Are you serious about what you just said?” Sid narrowed his eyes and asked with a hint of coldness.
He was furious now.
Not everyone could take the wrath of Star Kingdom’s number one.
“Of course! Sid, you have violated the law of survival of the fittest, causing Star Kingdom to become such a mess and resulting in some useless people exhausting the limited resources of Star Kingdom. Therefore, several of the deputy heads are united in removing you as the head. However, given your contribution to Star Kingdom, you can still enjoy the treatment of being a deputy head of the Saints Association after you retire to the second line,” Zenon said seriously. Sid looked at Zenon.
He suddenly sneered and said, “Everyone, come out! Since you are here, why hide in the dark?”
After he said that, several space cracks appeared behind Zenon.
Several figures came out of it one by one and stood with Zenon.
There were three old men and one old woman.
Including Zenon, there were five of them in total.
They were the five deputy heads of the Saints Association.
Now, the six known Sacred Saints of Satr Kingdom were all gathered in one place.
Except for Zenon, the other five looked very old, especially the old woman with a cane. She seemed like she was on the verge of death.
However, these people were the most powerful in Star Kingdom.
Those five people seemed old, but one must know that Saints were immortal, and they would not need to go through an Eternal Catastrophe.
Therefore, the organs and cells of their bodies would not age like ordinary people. They could always maintain their peak.
They looked old because they had been living for too long and their mental age was old, resulting in them looking like this.
Sid looked at the five people in front of him and knew this would be troublesome.
Zenon asked the other five Sacred Saints to gather together to pressure him.
Even if Sid was very strong, he could not fight five people at once.
What puzzled Sid was that the Ginger family and the Palmore family were always at odds with each other, and they were always in conflict, so how did Zenon convince York Ginger?
Moreover, that old hag Primrose Cristobal was also here.
Back then, she made a promise to Sid, but now she was siding with Zenon.
The five Sacred Saint deputy heads of the Saints Association were gathered together.
It seemed that they were about to force Sid to abdicate.
Chapter 1933
“Prim, why are you getting involved with Zenon? And York, have you forgotten the past grievances between the Ginger and Palmore families?” Sid frowned and asked.
The Prim he was talking about was Primrose, the grandmaster of Evergreen Island in Star Kingdom.
York was naturally the Sacred Saint grandmaster of the Ginger family. Sid did not expect the two to get involved with Zenon.
The other two’s behaviors were within his expectations.
“Sid, my brother, just agree! Star Kingdom has been quiet for so long, and it’s time to shuffle the cards and clean up some garbage. This is the trend. You can’t protect the entire Star Kingdom by yourself,” the old woman, Primrose, persuaded.
“Lord Sid, as long as you pass Zenon’s proposal, you will main the head of the Saints Association. As for the grievances between the Ginger and Palmore families, you don’t need to worry about that,” York also said.
“What if I don’t pass it?” Sid asked.
“If you don’t, we can only forcibly remove you from the position of the head of the Saints Association. I hope you don’t blame us when the time comes.” It was Zenon who spoke this time.
“Haha! Good! Very good! Amazing! You must have been planning this for a long time, right? Zenon, I underestimated you. I didn’t expect you to gather everyone together.” Sid laughed.
He genuinely did not expect Zenon to unite the remaining four. It seemed that the saying was true.
There were no permanent enemies, only permanent interests. With enough benefits, even enemies could become friends.
“Lord Sid, no matter what, we have seen the contribution you made to Star Kingdom. Even if you are not the head of the Saints Association, you will still enjoy the treatment of a deputy head for life, and we will always respect you.”
“Zenon, you don’t need to be hypocritical, and I don’t need it. Since you dare to bring them here to make me abdicate, you must be very confident in your own strength. If you have the guts, let’s fight and show me how much progress you’ve made in the past year,” Sid stared at Zenon and said slowly.
At the same time, he stood up straight.
His Sacred Saint energy started pouring out.
When the other Sacred Saints showed up and stood next to Zenon, Sid knew Star Kingdom would return to its previous regime.
This was because he could not fight five people at the same time. Next, Star Kingdom would surely be thrust into chaos.
Now, Sid needed to vent the anger in his heart.
Plus, his target this time was Zenon.
No matter what, he had to teach that scoundrel a lesson.
Even if the other party disagreed, he could still pressure Zenon with his imposing aura.
He thought Zenon would not agree, but unexpectedly, Zenon grinned and replied,
“Since Lord Sid wants to test my ability, I will surely say yes as a junior.”
“Zenon, you’re pretty good.”
“You speak too highly of me, Sid.”
The two disappeared from their spot and went into an even deeper void.The rest of them quickly followed behind.
Chapter 1934
The new head of the Saints Association terrified the Fellowes family.
It was Zenon, the Sacred Saint grandmaster of the Palmore family.
Cedar’s mind went blank the moment he heard this news.
‘Zenon is the new head of TSA?
‘Does it mean his proposal will get passed directly?
‘Does it also mean Star Kingdom allows the Battle of the Saints now?’
This was such a destructive blow to the Fellowes family.
They thought even if the Pamore family took action against them, the Saints
Association would mediate the affair.
After all, the Fellowes family had three True Saints and countless Pre-Saints.
Judging from the Saints Association’s past behavior, they would not turn a blind eye to this.
Winning over David was also another preparation made by the Fellowes family because they knew that since the Palmore family wanted to take action, they would surely come prepared.
However, they were too prepared, and the Fellowes family was caught off guard.
Zenon directly kicked Sid out of power and became the leader himself.
Would Star Kingdom belong to the Palmore family from now on?
Zenon was now the head of the Saints Association so his family would live in peace.
Meanwhile, the Fellowes family was thrust into panic.
Their only hope now was David.
If something went wrong with David, then the Fellowes family’s destruction was imminent.
After Cedar entered the room and sat down, he forced himself to calm down.
He knew he could not panic now.He could not let David know that the Palmore family’s grandmaster had become the head of the Saints Association.
Otherwise, David would likely not do anything.
Nobody wanted to offend the head of the Saints Association.
David and his master were no exception.
They had to get David to side with the Fellowes family so that there would be a glimmer of hope for the Fellowes family.
The Fellowes family no longer cared about the shares anymore.
Their only thought was to save their lives.
“David, how many shares do you think you need to have in order to get your master to make a move?” After calming down, Cedar asked.
David’s perception was strong, so he naturally sensed something wrong with Cedar.
As soon as the other party spoke, he became more certain of this.
Cedar must be acting like this because of some news he just got. It was possible that the Palmore family was coming in hot, and the Fellowes family was overwhelmed.
However, David did not care.
He even felt that by doing this, the Palmore family was giving himself assistance to reach Sacred Saint as soon as possible.
After this, he had to thank the Palmore family.
If it were not for them, he would not be able to improve so fast.
“Cedar, how much can you give?” David asked back.
“It doesn’t matter how much we can give, what matters is how much your master needs. If our cooperation is successful but your master is not happy and still doesn’t want to come out, won’t it be a waste of effort?” Cedar said.
How would he care about these things now? If it was not for fear of David getting suspicious, he would even let David take 80% or 90% stake of the company.
“Then I would like to ask how much is Treasure Trove worth. Only when I know the approximate figure can I know how much I can buy with the funds given by my master. If I spend all the funds the sect accumulated for so many years, my master will surely come out. If not, we live as paupers.”
Chapter 1935
“Vai, you are the head of Treasure Trove, so you should know the value of Treasure Trove! Tell David!” Cedar looked at Valerio.
“Grandmaster, Treasure Trove has a lot of hidden assets, so the specific value is incalculable,” Valerio shook his head and said.
Although he was the head of Treasure Trove, Treasure
Trove had accumulated countless treasures through the development of the Fellowes family over the many generations. Many of these were invaluable.
There were also countless resources stored in each branch.
Hence, it was impossible to give a specific value in a short period of time. Even an approximate figure was difficult.
All the wealth and resources of Treasure Trove could be ranked at least in the top three or even the top two in Star Kingdom.
That was why the Palmore family made such a big fuss. It was so they could take control of Treasure Trove at all costs.
This was a huge cash cow.
It could continuously provide resources to the family so that the family could grow and develop.
“How long will it take to figure it out?” Cedar asked next.
“Not sure. It could be a long time,” Valerio replied truthfully.
‘That won’t work! The Palmore family has already started to make a move. Over time, things will become uncontrollable and there will be many changes. The loss of the Fellowes family is also immeasurable. David, what do you think?” Cedar looked at David, seeking his opinion.
“I also don’t think it’s a good idea to drag this on, so you should just name your price! To avoid hitches, I just did the math, and if I add up all the assets given by Master, I can probably come up with 4 hundred trillion Star Dollars. You can decide how many shares that will be,” David thought for a while and said.
This number was the result of his meticulous calculation.
Now David’s Body was at True Saint level 7 and his mind power was only at True Saint level 1.
2. million lavish points were needed to raise both of those to True Saint level 10.
He needed 20 million lavish points to upgrade to Sacred Saint level 1 after getting two
True Saint level 10.
At that time, his combat power would reach beginner Sacred Saint Rank.
However, that was not David’s goal.
Since this was the last transaction, he had to do everything at once and directly upgrade to the limit in order to look down on Star Kingdom and not be afraid of anyone.
He would need 9 million lavish points to get from Sacred Saint level 1 to Sacred Saint level 10 each. With Body and Mind combined, it would take 18 million lavish points.
Adding in the previous 20 million needed to break through to Sacred Saint Rank and the 1.2 million, the total would be 2. million lavish points.
Once he had 39.2 million lavish points, David’s combat power would surpass peak
Sacred Saint Rank and reach a whole new level. He had no idea what would come after Saint Realm.
Anyway, it was definitely not something a Sacred Saint could compare to.
Who else would be David’s opponent in Star Kingdom when the time came?
If he became a Sacred Saint, he would fight anyone who dared to challenge him.
As long as he spent 4 hundred trillion Star Dollars and got 40 million lavish points, everything would be resolved.
It did not matter if he spent the remaining Star Dollars or not.
Even if he spent all of it, it was impossible for him to continue to improve his combat power anyway.
Therefore, there was no need for that.
Forty million lavish points were enough to solve all his problems.
David’s words surprised the four members of the Fellowes family collectively.
‘Four Star Dollars?’
Although the Fellowes family was controlling Treasure Trove, the top three economies in Star Kingdom, they could not help feeling amazed that David was able to take out 4 hundred trillion Star Dollars at once.
They were all very curious.
What kind of sect was David from?
How could it have such a huge amount of wealth?
Even in long history of Star Kingdom, it should be by no means be unknown.
Chapter 1936
At this moment, in Star Kingdom, 99% of the forces would not be able to reach this level even if they gave everything they had.
“David, your sect is really admirable. There are only a handful of forces in Star Kingdom that can produce so much wealth, not to mention that you have been hiding for many years. I’m sure you must have been very popular back then,” Cedar said in shock.
‘That’s right! I’ve heard from Master that the sect was once brilliant, and it was not inferior to any forces at that time. Our wealth was also accumulated during that time.
As for why we went into hiding and got reduced to only me and my master, my master didn’t say anything and I dare not ask,” David said proudly.
“Since you’ve said that, Vai, let’s see how many shares these 4 hundred trillion Star Dollars can get me! Hurry up and sign the agreement, so that David can report to his master. I have to return to the Fellowes family and get ready for the Palmore family’s assault as well,” Cedar urged.
“Grandmaster, you’re letting me decide?” Valerio pointed at himself and asked with a confused face.
This was such a big deal, yet the grandmaster was letting him decide. Valerio felt a little apprehensive.
He would be fine if he had more time just like when David bought the 300 branches of Treasure Trove.
Given enough time, Valerio was confident he could come up with an accurate calculation so that both parties would not suffer losses.
It was a little difficult to ask him to estimate a number on the spot.
Treasure Trove still had tens of thousands of branches and all kinds of treasures accumulated over the years, so how could they be estimated immediately?
Giving out a random price would be irresponsible to both buyers and sellers.
“You are the head of Treasure Trove, so no one is more familiar with Treasure Trove than you. Who else could decide this if you’re not sure? Do you want me to decide?” Cedar said with a glare.
“Um… Well… Let me think,” Valerio stammered.
“Hurry up! Stop dilly-dallying. Since David asked us to estimate the value, he doesn’t care about the gains and losses. Therefore, we can’t let David suffer a loss, so you can just overestimate. It’s okay for us to suffer a little,” Cedar added.
The scene began to quiet down.
Valerio was carefully calculating what kind of number to give.
David did not rush him either.
Although he was flustered, he was okay with wasting a little more time.
Cedar could not hold back anymore after about a minute or so.
Zenon was now the head of the Saints Association, so time was running out for the Fellowes family.
Every minute and every second was precious to them.
“Valerio, can’t you do even this? You’re having so much difficulty giving an estimate.
Have you been the head of the company for so many years in vain?” Cedar asked angrily.
“Grandmaster, s-should we give 40% to Master David? What do you think?” Valerio asked cautiously.
If four hundred trillion Star Dollars accounted for 40% of the shares, then upon calculation, the total value of Treasure Trove would be a quadrillion.
This was actually a huge underestimation of the value of Treasure Trove.
As one of the five largest trading companies in the Central Sacred Continent, just the tens of thousands of branches and the resources stored were worth far more than this.
Furthermore, there were all kinds of rare treasures accumulated over the years.
Therefore, the value was even more inestimable. It was clear that Valerio understood the stakes when he stated a 40% shareholding ratio.
People could not beat the circumstance.
Currently, the Fellowes family had already reached the point of life and death.
What would they do if David’s master was dissatisfied that they were only giving so little?
Once the Fellowes family was annihilated, everything would go to the Palmore family. Therefore, Valerio stated 40%.
Chapter 1937
‘40%?’
Cedar considered it for a moment.
He figured this number was quite reasonable.
Valerio should have considered carefully based on the actual situation before stating this number.
Cedar would agree if he did not get the news just now.
However, it was different now.
Zenon had become the head of the Saints Association.
The Fellowes family would definitely not have David and his master on their side if they did not lose more money.
So, this was still too low.
Cedar thought for a while and said, “40% is a bit low, let’s do 50%! David, what do you think? We will each have half of the company and so it would not be in vain if your master decides to take action. After all, the Palmore family also has a Sacred Saint.”
‘50%?’
The hearts of the other three Fellowes family members sank.
It was not that they thought it was too high.
Rather, they could tell that the Fellowes family’s situation was not optimistic, otherwise, the grandmaster would not have given such a high percentage.
“Cedar, 50% is fine. Let’s compromise and do 45%! It’ll be easier to convince my master with this number. I believe he will be satisfied, and as long as he is satisfied, everything will be fine,” David said.
“Okay! Then let’s do 45%. David, you’ve invested four hundred trillion Star Dollars, accounting for 45% of Treasure Trove’s shares. Vai, immediately drew up an agreement. We still have things to do after we sign it.”
“Yes, Grandmaster!” Valerio replied.
After speaking, he got up and walked out of the room. He should do this as quickly as possible.
Shortly after, he came back with the agreement.
Both David and Cedar signed and pressed their fingerprints.
Cedar, as one of the three True Saints of the Fellowes family, could fully represent the entire Fellowes family.
After signing, David used the system to transfer 4 hundred trillion Star Dollars to Treasure Trove’s public account.
This money should have gone to the Fellowes family, but no one cared at that critical moment.
Money was not as important as their lives.
“David, I hope we will have a happy cooperation! I hope you can get your master here quickly and protect our common property,” Cedar stretched out his hand and said.
“Don’t worry! Cedar, I, David Lidell, am a man of my word and I will never let what happened last time happen again.” David also extended his hand and shook Cedar’s hand.
“Thank you!” Cedar withdrew his hand and bowed deeply to David.
He was hiding something important from David this time. He did not tell David about how Zenon became the head of the Saints Association because he was afraid that David would choose not to help the Fellowes family anymore if he found out.
After all, no one wanted to offend a top figure like the head of the Saints Association. Even David’s master was no exception.
So, Cedar could only hide it for the time being so he could bind David and his master to the Fellowes family.
Cedar had another question in mind.
What method did Zenon use to drive Sid, the number one of Star Kingdom, from the position of the head of the Saints Association?
It would not be so terrifying if he did it with the other four deputy heads.
If he directly defeated Sid and replaced him, then it would be very bad.
Cedar was afraid that even if David’s master came forward, he might still lose his family if that were the case.
If that happened, then it meant this was the Fellowes family’s fate.
In any case, David and his master were the last hope of the Fellowes family.
Even if Cedar could not save everyone in the Fellowes family, he had to keep the family’s heritage so the family could continue to pass on.
“Cedar, what are you doing? Get up!”
David wanted to help Cedar up, but Cedar bent over and refused to get up. He felt ashamed.
Seeing this, Roald, Valerio, and Alba hurriedly bowed to David.
“Please, Master David!” The three said at the same time. How would they dare to stand if the grandmaster was bowing?
Chapter 1938
David was helpless. He could only take a step back and bow back to Cedar.
The two bowed to each other like they were in a wedding ceremony in ancient times on Earth.
Cedar bowed because he felt guilty about David. He had dragged David into the
Fellowes family’s mess without David’s knowledge.
David bowed to thank the other party.
The Fellowes family was his great benefactor.
Without the Fellowes family, how could David achieve True Saint Rank in such a short time?
Soon, he would become a Sacred Saint, or perhaps even surpass Sacred Saint.
It was possible that this rate of improvement had never even happened in the level 8 civilization, level 9 civilization, or even the God Tier Civilization, let alone in Star Kingdom, a level 7 civilization.
Spending money alone was slow, and one would have to worry about attracting the attention of the powerhouses.
At that time, David did not have the strength to deal with it.
After meeting Alba, a lot of his troubles were solved, and he saved a lot of time.
Thus, David was sincerely grateful to the Fellowes family.
He also secretly swore in his heart that no matter what difficulties the Fellowes family encountered in the future, he would save them as long as he was around. He would never allow anything to happen to
the Fellowes family.
This was a promise from someone who was about to surpass Sacred Saint Rank.
This only cemented the fact that the Fellowes family would inevitably continue to grow bigger and stronger and achieve greater glories in the days to come.
“No! David, you can’t do this!”
Seeing that David had also bent down, Cedar quickly helped him up.
The two supported each other, but were grateful to each other in their hearts.
“Everyone, get up now. This feels a bit strange,” David said.
Alba and the others were unmoved.
They were waiting for the grandmaster to speak.
“David told you to get up, so you should get up,” Cedar said.
“Yes, Grandmaster!” The three of them straightened up.
They did not dare to get up without the grandmaster’s permission.
“David, since this is settled, I should leave. The Fellowes family still has a lot of things waiting for me to deal with.
Furthermore, the Palmore family is coming at us aggressively, so we also have to be prepared.”
“Cedar, go ahead. I will also contact Master as soon as possible to prepare him to come out. Please rest assured this time that I will definitely get him out and I will not disappoint everyone.”
“Thank you, David.” Cedar clasped his fists together.
‘You are welcome! You are welcome! This is what I should do.”
“Farewell!”
“Farewell!”
Cedar turned to look at Alba and the others before saying,” Roald, come with me. Let Vai and Alba stay here with David.”
‘Yes, Grandmaster!” The three replied at the same time.
Then, Cedar took Roald and left after tearing the space apart.
Only David, Alba, and Valerio were left in the room.
“Master David, we won’t bother you anymore. Just let us know if you need anything. We will always be on call,” Valerio also bid farewell.
‘Thank you, Mr. Valerio. I will also contact Master and ask him to come out as soon as possible, otherwise, it will be very troublesome if he is late,” David replied.
‘You should go on with your business, Master David. We will leave now.”
“Goodbye, Master David!” Alba said.
“Goodbye, Miss Fellowes.”
Valerio and Alba also left.
Now, David was left alone in the room.
After sending the two away, he sat directly on the floor and took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.
The most important moment had arrived.
David sat on the floor, adjusted his state, and opened the system panel.
His eyes fell directly on the lavish points in the last column.
[Lavish Points: 40015348]
He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the figure.
Even though he knew that there would be no accidents in the system, he would only felt relieved when he saw it.
There were indeed 40 million lavish points.
His strength was about to take another qualitative leap.
He would become an existence beyond Sacred Saint from late True Saint.
He would not have to worry about the four True Saint reputable elders of the Iridescent Sect and could easily rescue Celeste.
The Sacred Saint grandmaster of the Palmore family was also no longer a problem to him. David could take care of him easily.
The entire Star Kingdom would respect him.
Just like when he was the Master of the Milky Way in the Milky Way back then.
Since the strongest combat power in Star Kingdom was only Sacred Saint Rank, wouldn’t it mean that David was already the number one in Star Kingdom if he went beyond Sacred Saint Rank?
In reality, David never thought about being number one.
He just wanted to protect those around him.
This was true when he was on Earth, it was also true when he was in the Milky Way, and it was still true when he was in Star Kingdom.
However, he had no choice.
Even if he did not want to, there were always people forcing him to make breakthroughs.
Every time he went to a new place, there would always be some things that would make him work hard to spend money to get lavish points, which were then used to improve his strength.
When he first arrived at the Milky Way, he encountered the Sangruil Sinners colluding with the Nine- Headed Serpent Clan in an attempt to destroy the Milky Way Empire.
Should David just sit back and watch the humans of the Milky Way being eaten by the Nine-Headed Serpent Clan?
Obviously not.
Then, he came to Star Kingdom from the Milky Way and met Celeste who was locked up in the ice cavern.
To save her, he needed to become a Sacred Saint.
Fine, he had to work hard to spend money to improve his strength again.
David calmed down and thought.
Ever since he got the system, it seemed as if there were a pair of invisible hands pushing him forward such that he could not relax for even a moment.
Otherwise, how could it be possible to encounter such coincidences every time?
Of course, this was just David’s conjecture.
It was more likely that he got the system and used up all his luck.
That was why so many things happened ever since.
Now that he had encountered these things, he had to find a way to solve them.
‘Well, let’s start!’
David first spent 300 thousand lavish points to improve his Body from the True Saint level 7 to True Saint level 10.
Then, he spent another 900 thousand lavish points to increase his Mind from True Saint level 1 to True Saint level 10.
Under the influence of the double limit of his Body and Mind, his strength reached partial Sacred Saint.
However, the ascension had only just begun.
What happened just now was just an appetizer.
Breaking through to Sacred Saint Rank was the main course.
After getting over this hurdle, David would become one of Star Kingdom’s top fighters.
After adapting to the changes in his body, David clicked on the [+] button behind Body.
A window popped up.
[This breakthrough will consume 10 million lavish points. After the breakthrough, the host’s Body will change from the original True Saint level 10 to Sacred Saint level 1. Please confirm whether to proceed.]
Below were two options.
Yes and no.
David naturally chose yes without hesitation.
Another ten million lavish points disappeared.
The system displayed a line of words.
[The host’s Body is upgrading, please wait…]
Then, David closed his eyes and began to feel the changes brought about by his breakthrough.
As David upgraded his strength, Star Kingdom was in a commotion.
The Saints Association issued an announcement.
Chapter 1940
Sid was no longer the head of the Saints Association.
The new head of the Saints Association would be Deputy Head Zenon.
Once this message was published, it immediately caused an uproar in Star Kingdom.
It even directly surpassed the death of Nek the Saint.
No one could believe that it was real.
Sid was recognized as number one in Star Kingdom.
When he served as the head of the Saints Association, he set many rules that were beneficial to the weak.
That was how Star Kingdom stayed peaceful until now.
Now that this just and strict old man resigned from the position of head of the Saints Association, it also represented the end of an era.
A new era was upon them.
It was still unknown what changes this new era would bring about in Star Kingdom.
Ordinary people might not know the stakes, but many forces had already felt that something was wrong.
Because Zenon happened to be the one who proposed to abolish the old rules not long ago.
Sid, who was the head at the time, never agreed.
Now that Sid had stepped down, wouldn’t Zenon be able to implement his ideas openly now that he was the head of the Saints Association?
Star Kingdom, which had been quiet for so many years, was about to become chaotic.
This was what a lot of the forces were thinking.
They also all began to discuss countermeasures.
Besides, everyone still had doubts.
Why did Sid suddenly resign as the head of the Saints Association?
One must know that the lifespan of Saints was unlimited.
There was no such thing as birth, old age, sickness, or death.
No matter how long Sid lived, he would always be at his peak.
Therefore, who did Zenon think he was to drive Sid away and become the head himself?
Could it be that the number one powerhouse of Star Kingdom had changed hands from Sid to Zenon?
Probably!
Otherwise, it was impossible to explain why Zenon could become the head of the Saints Association.
The change of the head of the Saints Association made all the forces in Star Kingdom except the six top forces panic.
They started to act and gather their sphere of influence.
They were prepared to stick to one side for the time being and see how it would play out.
And among these forces, the one that was panicking the most was the Fellowes family.
The Fellowes family was originally an affiliated family of the Palmore family.
Every year, they would provide countless resources to the Palmore family for their family members to cultivate.
The relationship between the two had always been good.
However, as Treasure Trove grew bigger and bigger, its money-making ability also grew.
Gradually, the Palmore family’s appetite grew to match it.
The resources provided by the Fellowes family were initially 20% of Treasure Trove’s profits, and gradually, it increased to 30%, 40%, 50%, and finally 60%.
Despite this, it still could not satisfy the huge appetite of the Palmore family.
The Palmore family believed that the reason why Treasure Trove could develop to today’s scale was all due to their prestige.
Without the Palmore family, it would be impossible for Treasure Trove to become one of the five largest trading companies in the Central Sacred Continent.
Hence, they wanted more.
Not only that, but the Palmore family also believed that the Fellowes family had selfish intentions and concealed the profits of Treasure Trove.
Then, they began planning to seize control of Treasure Trove.
This led to the gradual deterioration of the relationship between the two.
The reason was that Treasure Trove was too profitable, which resulted in them being targeted.
If Treasure Trove was still a small or medium-sized business, the Palmore family would never go to such lengths to take over it.
Now, the two families had suffered a complete fallout.
The Fellowes family would do anything to help David, and in the eyes of the Palmore family, they were looking for help.
Therefore, in order to avoid any accidents, the Palmore family decided to speed up their plans and take down the Fellowes family even more aggressively.
