Chapter 231

The more mysterious it was, the more curious the bystanders and various media outlets would be. Hence, the reputation of East League

International in the Springfield investment community began begun to grow gradually.

At this time, East League International released a message under David’s instruction.

All individuals and companies that needed investment or financing could get in contact with East League International. As long as they passed the evaluation of the company’s inspection team, they could get a capital injection from East League International.

At this time, many people with dreams started to contact East League

International. They all wanted to get an investment to realize their dreams.

These people and companies needed funds ranging from millions to tens of millions. There were even people who needed hundreds of millions and even billions.

Naturally, David wanted to accept all the orders. He lacked lavish points now and he needed to get more of them as soon as possible.

However, he was rejected by Pearl. She still needed to do further investigations before injecting capital in consideration of the future development of the company.

David could not do anything at this time. After all, Pearl did this out of consideration for him and she was helping him save money. Besides, he could not tell her the truth, so he could only compromise and follow Pearl’s method. However, he asked Pearl to lower some of the standards so that he could cast his net as wide as possible.

At the same time, East League International also began to recruit talents.

East League International had been very popular in Springfield recently. The company was not only powerful, but it offered extremely good benefits. As soon as the recruitment information was released, it attracted the attention of elites from all walks of life.

Many people came to apply for the job. In just two days, East League International had grown from a team of dozens of people to more than 200 people.

Although the company paid well, it only recruited elites from all walks of life, which meant it shut out many fresh graduates.

It also caused university students to jointly denounce East League International on the Internet, trying to pressure East League International to change its requirements and give fresh graduates some opportunities.

The salary at East League International was good and it offered almost three times more than other companies for the same position. Some positions even offered five times more than the market rate, so of course these university students dkd not want to give up.

However, would this affect East League International?

Of course not!

What David intended was to use a high salary to recruit someone to work for him, not someone that he would need to cultivate.

Although he was also a university student, and it was indeed unfair to do so, but he did not have a choice. The company was now in a period of rapid development.

There was no time to nurture new talent.

After this period had passed and the company gradually stabilized, he would consider recruiting university students.

An investment company would not need too many people. The most important thing was the legal team because as they invested in more companies, more and more legal issues would appear.

Therefore, as long as they were a well-known lawyer, East League International would welcome them with open arms so that they would become one of them.

David also asked Paul to bring the people from the security department to Springfield. Although River City was the headquarters of East League

International, the focus was now on Springfield.

The security personnel were all people who had worked as mercenaries abroad. While ensuring the safety of the staff of the company, they also worked part-time as drivers.

Now Paul’s security team had grown to more than 30 people.

Another pesky week had passed.

The company had been very busy this week. They were busy inspecting new investment companies and recruiting new employees. Pearl was also very busy because she would be busy attending various conferences.

Only David was free.

This could not be helped because he was the boss.

He would stay in the grandest luxury suite of Starry Night Hotel every day, watching his lavish points rise little by little.

Why was he not going to the company?

Right now, the media across Springfield was now looking for David, the founder of East League International.

He did not want to show up just yet.

In a week, the lavish points gradually increased by more than 300 points, bringing the total to 328 points.

Chapter 232

Since East League International was developing rapidly in Springfield during this time, many decisions had to be handled by the owner, David.

Therefore, David’s trip to Capital City was delayed again and again. However, in his opinion, getting lavish points was the most important thing for him at the moment.

Everything else could wait.

East League International had gradually emerged in the Springfield investment community, attracting the attention of many media outlets and companies. This was also very beneficial for David. 1

It was reflected in the increase of lavish points over the past few days.

Hence, instead of stopping it, he asked Pearl to spend some money to promote the company to increase its popularity and attract more individuals who needed money.

David would not have dared to do this if he had not joined the National Special Task Force.

After all, his foundation was too weak, so even if the Luthers from River City helped him hide his identity, he probably would not have been able to hide it for long.

The strength of the Luthers was still somewhat different from that of the big families in Springfield.

However, it was different now that he had joined the National Special Task Force. After all, his files had been erased by Team A. Now, neither the media nor the big families could find out his identity.

That was why he dared to spend money so recklessly.

Otherwise, if his details were ever exposed, it would be really hard for him to explain where so much money came from.

At this moment, what he urgently needed to do was to rapidly develop his power and improve his strength while taking advantage of the support of the National Special Task Force.

At a later stage, after he was able to increase these two aspects, then he could deal with all sorts of major forces head on. When the time came, it would not matter even if his identity was exposed.

David had been staying in the room of Starry Night Hotel every day for the past few days. Although he was elated watching the lavish points slowly rise, it was very boring for him to stay there for one week straight. With more than 300 lavish points in hand, David could no longer wait to play around with the skills column again.

The last time he attempted to use it, he failed to learn 18 Dragon Taming Punches and ten lavish points were deducted as a penalty. This made him feel distressed for such a long time.

After all, he had very few lavish points at that time.

Now that he had more lavish points, he wanted to add skills again.

The role of the skills column was definitely greater than he had imagined.

He had thought about this issue carefully over the past few days.

Now, it could be said that he only had strength but no martial arts skill at all.

The battles were also always straightforward. He would only need to suppress his opponent directly with all his strength, but this only worked on people who were weaker than him.

If he was fighting someone who was stronger than him or on the same level as him, he would probably suffer a crushing defeat if he relied on brute force alone,

In fact, David overlooked a problem, and it was his mind power. His mind power could be said t o be stronger than those of the same level or even a level higher than him.

Combining his powerful mind power and his strength meant that even though he had not learned any skills to generate his strength or martial arts moves, he was definitely not weak compared to others of the same level.

of course, if it could be coupled with skills and channeled through martial arts moves, he would naturally be stronger.

Therefore, he still needed to learn some martial arts moves in order to make full use of his own strength and deal the most damage.

However, he needed to be careful this time.

He could not just add blindly like in the past.

The 18 Dragon Taming Punches added last time were moves used in martial arts novels and did not exist in real life. That was why he failed. The driving skills, basketball skills, and piano skills he had added were all things that certain people knew in reality.

Therefore, this time, he had to make sure that other people knew these martial arts before he tried to add them.

David turned on his computer and started searching the Internet to see what kind of fighting techniques were available in modern martial arts. After he dug around, all kinds of fighting techniques appeared in front of him. For example shadowboxing, Singing Spring Fist, Form-Intention Fist, Eight Extremities Fist, and so on.

As for which ones he would choose, David felt that a firm and ferocious style would suit him best. He did not like a gentle fighting technique.

After thinking it through, David felt that Singing Spring Fist, Form-Intention Fist, and Eight Extremities would be suitable for him.

Shadowboxing was too gentle.

In the end, David did some research and decided to try out Eight-Extremities Fist because it has a technique called Mountain Lean, which David felt was made just for him.

What would be the advantage of this?

Of course, it would be immense power and strong physical fitness brought about by the improvement of the physique.

Chapter 233

Mountain Lean’s ultimate move relied on power and physical strength to better display its formidable power.

After thinking about it, David added Eight Extremities Fist to the skills column.

Unexpectedly, another window popped up.

“Does Host David Lidell want to add a new skill Eight Extremities Fist?

This addition will cost 100 lavish points.”

“Damn!” David cursed.

‘What the hell?

‘Is 100 lavish points the f*cking starting price to add a skill now?

‘Wasn’t it just ten lavish points before?

‘It’s raising the price while taking advantage of the situation! David hesitated for a long time but finally choosing ‘yes’. He would just use the lavish points! Getting lavish points was much easier right now anyway.

At present, learning these martial arts skills was a way to quickly increase his strength. He could not waste this opportunity.

100 lavish points were deducted.

Now, there were 228 points left.

David felt the same as the time he added other skills. More thoughts started appearing in his brain and he felt as if he had been tempered with countless times.

This state only lasted for dozens of seconds before, but this time, it had lasted for nearly five minutes before it ended.

“I see!”

When it was over, David lamented.

No wonder it needed so many lavish points.

There were so many things to learn about the Eight Extremities Fist. It was categorized with six big ways of opening and eight postures. Plus, there were all kinds o f finishing blows, all of which were very powerful. This was definitely worth the 100 lavish points. The skills that could be added with just 10 lavish points would not be able to compare to this.

You would truly get what you paid for.

David looked at the interface of the system.

He had a new skill, which was the Eight Extremities Fist.

However, it was placed in the front of the menu, separate from the previous skills.

Moreover, he was only at the entry-level of the Eight Extremities Fist now. If he wanted to rise to the top, he might still need to spend a lot of lavish points.

For the time being, he still needed to raise a thousand lavish points to improve his mind power.

After he improved his mind power, he would consider upgrading the Eight Extremities Fist.

His body had been upgraded to extraordinary level 1 and he had also learned Eight Extremities Fist, a strong and ferocious fighting technique. Now, David was brimming with self-confidence and he desperately wanted to try to see how far his current strength could go. From what he knew, when his physique and mind were both at the ordinary limit, he should have the strength of the peak Tiger Ranker. Now, his body had broken through the ordinary limit and reached the extraordinary level 1, so his strength should also be at Dragon Rank. Per the rules of the National Special Task Force Team A, if a backup member wanted to become an official member, his strength had to surpass the Tiger Rank and reach the Dragon Rank.

In other words, if he exposed his true strength now, he could be directly promoted to an official member of Team A.

However, David was not ready to expose this for the time being.

A sly individual would always have more than one plan to fall back on just like how a rabbit would always dig three burrows. Even rabbits knew to leave a way out for themselves, let alone humans.

He would not get any benefits from exposing his hand too early.

Furthermore, his current background was already enough for him.

Chapter 234

East League International’s unscrupulous spending in Springfield naturally offended some people.

Originally, some investors were still undercutting the price of promising companies in hopes o f obtaining greater benefits at a lower price. However, as soon as East League International stepped in, they swallowed up all the shares at a higher price, which enraged a lot of the investors.

This act united a lot of people, who then used their connections to block out East League International from the Springfield investment community.

This led to some restrictions on the development of East League International. After all, an individual could not invest in a company alone.

The boss was not a fool either, so they would not let East League International hold too many shares. If that was the case, wouldn’t they be handing the entire company to others on a silver platter?

Therefore, under the blockade of countless investors, many companies started to stop interacting with East League International.

Pearl also reported the matter to David.

David thought about it and decided that they could not allow this.

If East League International’s development was restricted, he would not be able to spend his money. If he could not spend his money, he would not be able to get lavish points. If he could not get lavish points, how would he improve his strength? He had to figure out a way to resolve this.

In the end, David decided to release the news of the Daniels’ fall from grace after going against East League International. That way, he might be able to intimidate the weak.

This was his original intention behind destroying the Daniels, but in the end, the matter was blocked by the Zimmermans because Clinton was the one who helped him finish it.

David was going to put the news out. Of course, he would say that it was wholly done by East League International.

However, he could not tell everyone himself. If he tried, he would only be tooting his own horn and the credibility of the matter would be greatly reduced. Hence, he needed to find a powerful person to help him with this.

After thinking about it, David thought of one person, and that was Rhonda.

In the past few days, he had nothing better to do so he started researching about the powerful forces in Springfield online.

The Rogers was known as one of the top four families of Springfield while a family like the Daniels had no chance in Springfield at all. Rhonda was probably one of the Rogers from Springfield and her status was probably nothing to scoff at.

Thus, he called Rhonda to explain his intentions, hoping she would do him a favor.

Rhonda agreed to help David after consulting her brother Tony. Less than an afternoon after the Rogers released the news, the dozen or so people in the group that had been working together to block East League International all quit.

Moreover, the first to exit the group was the organizer and also the admin of the group.

The Daniels were destroyed, and they still wanted to block out East League International? This would be courting death!

The organizer, in particular, moved the company to another city as soon as he quit the group.

He could not stay in Springfield anymore because he might one day be destroyed without even realizing it.

The Daniels were a family with a history in Springfield, and if such a powerful family could disappear in less than a day, then small fries like them would not be able to escape.

With that, East League International finally gained a strong foothold in Springfield.

Meanwhile, David was also preparing to leave Springfield and go to Capital City to complete the formalities for the Special Task Force and Falcon.

At this time, David received a call from Oliver, the chancellor of South River University.

“Mr. Carson, hello,” David answered the phone.

“Hello, David,” Oliver replied politely.

He did not put on the airs of a chancellor in front of this student who had donated 100 million t o the university.

“May I know why you’re looking for me, Mr. Carson?” David asked.

He was also curious why Oliver called him. He could not be here to ask

David to go back to the university, right? He had just donated 100 million to the school.

Was it because of Sarah?

He should not be the one responsible for that, right? Leo was the real culprit, okay?

“David, our school will send several students to Greenwood University in Capital city this week for exchange and study. Given your outstanding performance, we are going to let you join as well. Do you have the time?” Oliver asked.

The quota to go to Greenwood University in Capital City for an academic exchange program was decided by the heads of the university at a meeting.

Those who could go were the top students of South River University.

After all, they would represent the entire South River University by going there.

Although David performed well in school, he still had a long way to go compared with the real top students.

As for why he got this spot, it was entirely because of the 100 million he donated to the university as well as his mysterious and unknown identity. None of the heads of the university wanted to offend this cash cow right now.

If he could donate 100 million while he was still studying, who knew if he would donate again i n the future? And if he donated 100 million the first time, the next donation would definitely b e at least 100 million too. Therefore, Oliver proposed to give David a spot at the meeting, which was then passed with a unanimous votes.

David was also a little surprised when he heard that Oliver was asking him to go to the exchange at Greenwood University. However, he quickly felt at ease.

He was no longer the David he used to be.

Furthermore, this kind of exchange and learning opportunity was not available to everyone. Those who could go were the best of the best in the university. Besides, this would also be a high point in their academic life.

David had heard of it before, but it had nothing to do with him. In high school, he was still the top student in the school, but when he came to South River University, a top-ten institution in the country, he was completely defeated by everyone else.

If it were somewhere else, David definitely would not go because he still had a lot of matters to handle, and these things were meaningless to him now.

However, he could still join in if they were going to Capital City since he himself was going to Capital City to take care some business anyway. “Okay, I happen to need to go on a business trip to Capital City anyway,” David said.

“That’s good, it’s decided then. Are you going on your own or are you going with us? I will be leading the team this time,” Oliver asked.

“I’ll go by myself.” “Alright, just call me when you’re in Capital City.”

“Sure, thanks, Mr. Carson.”

“You’re welcome.”

After hanging up the phone, David called Pearl and told her that he was about to leave. If there was anything she needed, she should just call him.

Naturally, Pearl did not want David to leave, but the problem in Springfield had been resolved and she did not have a reason to stop him.

Therefore, she could only wish David a safe journey.

David got on a plane to Capital City that afternoon.

He only called Pearl and did not tell anyone else.

Pearl originally wanted to send him off but was stopped by him. Her identity was a little sensitive right now, and she had gained a little fame in Springfield. After all, the money that flowed out of her hands had reached more than 100 billion. If the media found out about this trip, David’s identity might be exposed.

He had gotten a lot of returns from his trip to Springfield this time. Not only did East League International enjoy a huge improvement in its development, but his ability also improved by leaps and bounds.

Additionally, his lavish points were also increasing at a steady rate. He believed that he could soon increase his mind power too.

Chapter 235

While David was heading to Capital City.

South River University. The chancellor’s office.

Oliver summoned several students to his office, namely Howard, Luna, Ava, and Amelia.

These were the students who were participating in the academic exchange this time. They were also the top students selected through meetings with the heads of the university.

Of course, it did not necessarily mean these top students did the best academically.

Nowadays, one’s grades in university did not mean everything and other aspects had to be considered comprehensively as well.. Moreover, the participants for academic exchanges were generally selected from the third and fourth-year students as students would still need to focus on their studies in their first and second year.

As for why the committee chose the three belles that were recognized by the university… this was also out of the comprehensive consideration of the university.

First of all, the three of them were pretty good in their studies and they were well-rounded students.

Furthermore, since they were going to another university for academic exchange, they would b e representing the entire South River University, so the university could not send over the students who were not pleasing to the eye.

When students from other universities saw that this was the level of the university, it would definitely affect the reputation of the university.

They were not in senior high where everything was based on grades anymore. Other attributes were very important too.

“You guys go back and prepare to leave for Capital City tomorrow to participate in the academic exchange jointly held by our university and Greenwood University,” Oliver said to them.

“Alright, sir,” Howard, Ava, and Amelia replied at the same time.

However, Luna did not answer.

“Sir, I’ve not been feeling well recently and I don’t want to participate,” Luna replied.

The other three students and Oliver looked at Luna in surprise.

Did she just say that she did not want this excellent opportunity that others were dying to have?

That was Greenwood University!

One of the world’s top universities!

Being able to participate in academic exchanges at a university would definitely be a rare opportunity in your university life. “Miss Shoron, you should think about this clearly. This is a good opportunity to improve yourself. If you don’t go out there to have a look, you will never know what’s the difference between you and them,” Oliver said.

“I can’t go because of health reasons, sorry.” Luna still insisted.

She really did not want to go to Capital City because there were two people there that she never wanted to see in her life. Wendy Shoron, and Zachary Quinn.

However, she knew she could not get them out of her life, so she would just delay it for as long as possible

“Alright, since you’ve decided, I’ll ask someone else,” Oliver said.

Although he was surprised by Luna’s decision, he could not force her since she genuinely did not want to go. There are many people who want to go.

‘Luna, you are not the only outstanding one at South River University.’ If Luna did not go, then Howard could not go either.

Even though he wanted to go home, he did not have a choice. After all, the purpose of him coming to South River University was to keep an eye on Luna.

If he went back on his own and enraged Mr. Quinn, all those years of him trying to curry favors with the man would have been in vain.

He finally was able to enjoy a closer relationship with the Quinns and he would be able to complete the task Mr. Quinn gave him in a few months.

He did not want any problems arising right now.

However, he planned to talk to the chancellor in private as he would be disrespecting the university if he mentioned it now.

“Sir, aren’t there five students going to the academic exchange this time?

Why are there only four of us here?” Howard asked.

From what he knew, the previous exchange always had five in a team, but this time, there were only four people present. This made him ask the question curiously.

Chapter 236

“There will be five people this time too. The last student will go to Capital city himself, not with us,” Oliver said.

“Who else is there?” Howard asked.

The other three were a little curious too.

“David Lidell,” Oliver replied.

“What? David?” Howard asked loudly.

When she heard that the last person was David, Amelia was overjoyed.

She was finally going to see David again.

Since the last time David escaped, she had not seen him for almost half a month.

She was embarrassed to contact David. After all, the two almost crossed the line last time and she was the one who took the initiative. As a girl, she was quite ashamed about this too.

However, she did not expect David to not contact her for so long, which angered her a little.

Luna was also delighted.

‘David is going to Capital City too?’

Ever since she learned of David’s strength, she gradually formed a plan in her heart. This was a plan to get out of her original fate.

In this plan, David was the most critical person.

Therefore, since David was going to Capital City, she had to go too.

Ava was the only one who did not have any reaction after learning that the last person was David.

Although she and David were in the same class, they had not exchanged more than ten sentences in the past three years. Even if David had been a bit eye-catching recently, what did i t have to do with her?

“What? Do you have something you want to say about that, Mr.

Jackson?” Oliver asked a little unhappily.

“Who are you to talk so loudly in my office? Are you disrespecting your chancellor?”

“No, I have nothing to say,” Howard said quickly.

He did not expect it to be David!

David used to be an unknown character, but after he exposed his strength in Fuller Golden

Sands Entertainment Center last time, Howard was a little reluctant to meet him again.

He was Zachary’s subordinate, and since David and Zachary were at odds with each other, it would mean that he and David were also enemies. However, he could not afford to offend David, so naturally, he was reluctant to run into the latter if it could be helped.

Because of David, the title of the most handsome guy in SRU he worked so hard to establish had also been put to shame.

“If there’s nothing else, you all should go back and make some preparations. Since you’re not going, Miss Shoron, you should go back to class,” Oliver said to them.

“Sir, I’ve thought about it and this kind of opportunity is rare. Although I am not in good health, I still want to go and experience it,” Luna said suddenly.

“Huh? Miss Shoron, have you thought it through? Can your body take it?”

“Yes, sir. I’ve thought about it clearly and my body is absolutely fine.” “Great, you should also go back and get ready then. We’ll depart tomorrow morning.”

The four then left the chancellor’s office.

However, they looked at Luna a little suspiciously.

She refused to go just now but as soon as she heard that David was going, she immediately changed her mind. Everyone could see that there was something fishy with this.

Could the rumors circulating the university not long ago be true?

It was unknown who first spread this rumor, but it was said that after David became the vice president of the martial arts club, he started to have an affair with President Luna.

However, since David was absent from class for the past half month, this rumor did not cause that much of an uproar.

However, Amelia did not feel too good about this.

She was the first one to notice that David was different, but in the end, not only did she fail to get her hands on him, she also started having more rivals.

Meanwhile, Howard felt that this matter was getting serious. He needed to report this to Mr. Quinn.

Luckily, they were going to Capital City this time. Once they were in Capital City, it would be M r. Quinn’s territory, and at that time, no matter how strong David was, he would still have to submit obediently. .

Chapter 237

Capital City, a city with a long history and rich culture.

It was also ranked as the world’s largest international metropolis. In recent years, due to the geographical location of Springfield, its economy had gradually begun to catch up with Capital City, but Capital City’s overall ranking as the world’s number one metropolis was still unbreakable.

When David arrived in Capital City, he did not contact the Special Task Force and Falcon immediately since it was already evening. Instead, he planned to go to a hotel, rest for a night, and then contact them the next day.

David had also longed to come to Capital City for a long time. Now that he was finally here, he was ready to experience this city’s rich history and culture.

David left the airport and took a taxi.

“Driver, get me to the best hotel nearby,” David said after getting into the car.

The driver was a middle-aged man. As soon as he heard David’s accent, he knew that he was not a local. In addition, David did not pay much attention to his clothes, so he looked like an ordinary person. Therefore, he thought to himself, ‘Youngsters these days have such exaggerated opinions of their abilities. He’s asking for the best hotel as soon as he opens his mouth.

“This is Capital City, the world’s largest city. Does he know how

expensive the best hotels here are?’

It was no exaggeration to say that the price of staying one night in the best luxury suite in this kind of hotel was almost the same price as a house in some small cities in remote areas.

This was no joke!

However, since the other party had asked, he did not say anything and took David straight to the ten-star chain hotel, Starry Night Hotel. David did not know how much the driver detoured, but he reached the Starry Night Hotel after half an hour and did not question it.

After all, it was not easy for the people living in the low ranks of society.

Plus, he did not lack money anyway.

After paying the fare, David entered the Starry Night Hotel.

However, the middle-aged driver did not leave, but instead, he waited in place.

In his opinion, it would not take long for David to come out after being frightened by the super high price inside. When that happened, he would drive David around for a while to find him an ordinary hotel. In that way he would be able to make a lot of money.

Aside from detouring for a while, he even snuck in two extra trips with David. The most important thing was that David never questioned him. It was not easy to find this kind of person.

Five minutes later…

‘Why hasn’t he come out yet?’

Ten minutes later…

Half an hour later…

“Damn, I ran into someone who played dumb to take advantage of me. F*ck me, I misjudged him and wasted half an hour,” the middle-aged driver cursed and drove away.

Once David entered the hotel, he walked to the front desk.

“Sir, how can I help you?” A beautiful woman at the front desk of the

ho el asked politely.

“Get me a room,” David said.

“Alright, sir. May I know if you want a single room or a double room?

Do you want a standard room or a luxury room?”

“Get me the most expensive room in your hotel.”

“Sir, the most expensive and luxurious suite in our hotel costs 188888 dollars per night. Despite the high price, it will also have high-quality service that matches the price. Are you sure you want it?”

“Yes.”

“Alright, may I know how long you need it for?”

“I’ll have it for a week first.”

“Alright, please wait.”

The beautiful woman started to operate the computer skillfully and was done in less than a minute.

“Sir, the luxury suite will be yours for a week. The total is 1322216 dollars, please choose your payment method.” David chose fingerprint and confirmed the payment. d David followed the attendant upstairs under the admiring eyes o

au VIU LUVIU

The room was soo f the receptionist.

Then, he followed the attendant to the 68th floor.

“Sir, this is your room. You can contact us anytime you need anything. There’s a call button in the room, and when you press it, we’ll get to you as soon as possible.”

“I got it. Thanks.”

After David entered the room, he shut the door, took a shower, and then lay down in bed to rest.

At the same time, he was wondering if he knew anyone in Capital City. After all, when someone got to an unfamiliar place, the first thing that would come to their mind was whether they had any acquaintances around.

However, after thinking about it, apart from Celia, a high school classmate, there seemed to b e no one he knew in Capital City. He originally came from a small county, and since he had low self-esteem because of his childhood experiences, he did not have any particularly good friends.

Most of his classmates were in South River Province and some were in other provinces. Not everyone could get admitted to an international metropolis like Capital city. Aside from Celia, he was already considered the best prospect to come out of Shu City High.

Finally, he sent a message to Celia.

Since he promised Celia that he would contact her, David kept his promise.

Now, he only wanted to follow his heart. He would do whatever he wanted to do and there was no longer any need to cower away from his desires.

David: (Celia, I’ve already arrived at Capital City. I’ll come to see you when I’m finished with m y business. You’re at Greenwood University, right? I was sent by my university for an academic exchange at Greenwood University this time. We will be classmates again!] In less than a minute, Celia replied to his text.

Celia: (Really? That’s great! Hurry up and finish your work then, I’ll wait for you.]

f

David: (Okay, I’ll rest first. I just got off the plane and I’m a little tired.

Goodnight.]

Celia: (Okay, rest well. Goodnight.]

After Celia sent the message, a smile started appearing at the corners of her mouth uncontrollably.

Coincidentally, Mindy, who was sitting opposite her, spotted it.

“Celia, is that David person coming to Capital City?” Mindy asked. However, Celia ignored her. She was still staring at the phone and smiling.

“Celia!” Mindy called out again.

No reaction.

“Celia!” This time, she was being quite loud, which scared Jon, who was sitting on the side.

“Huh? Mom, can you be softer? Are you trying to scare me to death?

I’m not deaf,” Celia said unhappily.

“Be softer? You wouldn’t hear me even if I call you ten times in a soft voice.”

“N-No, what do you mean?” Celia muttered.

“What do you mean no? I called you twice and you didn’t even react.

What’s so exciting? Is David in Capital City?”

“N-No! He said he’ll only come in a few more days. He even said that he was sent by his university to do an academic exchange in Greenwood University,” Celia answered.

“Oh? Sending students from South River University to Greenwood for academic exchange? That’s not easy. It seems that David is doing well in SRU. Only students who perform well in school will get a place in this kind of exchange.” Jon was the one who spoke this time.

“Of course! I have a good eye,” Celia said proudly.

She was elated when she heard her father praising David..

Chapter 238

Mindy glared at Jon.

She thought to herself, ‘You talk too much.’

So what if David could go on to become a postgraduate student and then obtain a Ph.D. at South River University?

His family and the environment in which he grew up already determined his future achievements, and he would never be able to reach Mindy’s standards.

The best way to handle this would be to make David take the initiative to leave Celia.

“Celia, since David came to Capital City to have an academic exchange at Greenwood, I won’t care if you meet at school, but I won’t allow you to go out alone with him, do you hear me?” Mindy said.

“Why?” Celia asked.

“You’re a girl! How is it proper to do this? Do you still have any shame?”

“Mom, what are you saying?” Celia said blushing.

“What am I saying? What do you think I’m saying after you two lived together for more than a year? Listen, you could do anything you wanted back when we were not around, but don’t even think about it now. I will keep an eye on you.”

“I don’t want to talk to you anymore. I’m going upstairs to sleep.” Celia went upstairs with blushing cheeks.

After Celia went upstairs, Mindy directed her anger at Jon again.

“Jon, what was the meaning of that?”

“What did I do?” Jon asked innocently.

“What did you do? Are you starting to like David? Do you want to bring them together?”

“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with David, his family conditions are a little bit poor, that’s all. As long as he knows how to improve himself and graduates from a prestigious university, Celia will definitely not suffer in the future.”

“You… You’re trying to piss me off too, aren’t you? How is David worthy of my daughter? He’s just a hillbilly from a poor and remote place!”

“Darling, you have to think like this, if Celia marries that Joshua person just as you asked, can you guarantee that he will always treat Celia well? The Houstons have so many rules, so what i f they bully Celia? Do you think you can go and stand up for her?”

“I… Why not? And what you said won’t happen, didn’t you see how

Joshua looked at Celia? How could he bully Celia?”

“You don’t understand men. The easier it is to get something, the less he will appreciate it. Joshua came from a big family and he’s obviously a playboy. He’ll definitely treat Celia well at first, but as time goes by, he’ll start having other intentions. When the time comes, our daughter will suffer. Plus, it’s normal for the sons of a big family to have three or four wivest o ensure that they can carry on the family name. They will not worry about how Celia feels.”

“Tell me, what are the benefits of marrying David then? If you can convince me now, I won’t oppose them being together.”

“I think we can make David our live-in son-in-law. We only have one daughter, so we’ll be worried no matter who she marries. Plus, if Celia is married, think about how lonely we’ll be. What will happen if we grow old? It’s good that Celia is so close to David. Just let them marry each other and stay with us. That way, we can see her every day and David won’t dare to bully her either. When we’re old, we can retire and play with our grandchildren too,” Jon said.

This was what Jon came up with after thinking it through.

Mindy had been running around out there for the past few years and she still had the impression that Celia was still the good girl.

However, Jon had been staying with Celia this whole time and he knew how she really was. Even though she looked soft, it was hard to change her mind once she had decided on something

If they forced her to break up with David, there would be serious consequences.

He only had one daughter and he did not want to risk this.

Hence, he kept thinking about how to convince his wife and not his daughter.

Mindy was speechless at that moment.

She admitted that her husband had convinced her.

Right now, she was debating in her heart.

On one hand, she hoped that her excellent daughter would marry someone even more excellent. That way, she would enjoy an improved reputation in the world.

Furthermore, she could show off in front of her business partners, friends, and even classmates.

Chapter 239

On the other hand, if things ended up like what her husband said, what if Celia married into a big family and got bullied? Were they capable of helping their daughter get justice?

Moreover, she did not want her daughter to leave her. If David was as ambitious as her daughter said, after he graduated from a prestigious university, they could get him to be their live-in son-in-law, and when the time came, she could hand over the company to him so that she could take care of her grandchildren. How good would that be? Plus, she would always be able to see her daughter every day.

When she was thinking about this, Mindy’s anger disappeared in an instant.

“We’ll see after we meet David. If he is as good as Celia said, I will no longer object to them being together, but after marriage, they must live with us and be our live-in son-in-law,” Mindy thought for a while and said.

“Alright, let’s wait until we meet David. I don’t think he will refuse. It’s better to stay in Capital City than to return to Shu City. If they have children in the future, they can get a better education here too,” Jon said. Jon was truly a government servant to the core. He was so good at reasoning, and he was able t o make Mindy submit in just a few sentences.

Capital City, the Great Wall Club.

Zachary was lying on his stomach while enjoying the massage service of several young beauties.

The phone rang

A beautiful woman grabbed the phone, pressed the answer button, and placed it next to Zachary’s ear.

“Hello, who is it?” Zachary asked.

“Mr. Quinn, it’s me,” Howard said over the phone.

“Howie, what’s the matter?”

“Mr. Quinn, our university arranged for five students to come to

Greenwood University in Capital City for an academic exchange tomorrow. Miss Luna and I will be there,” Howard said. “Oh? Luna is coming to Capital City too? That’s good, I haven’t seen her in a long time. How’s she doing these days?” Zachary asked.

“Pretty good, but… one more person is coming.”

“Who?”

“David.”

“David’s coming to Capital City too? Are you sure?” Zachary sat up immediately and asked.

“Yes! Also, I need to tell you something.”

“Go on.”

Howard told Zachary about David becoming the vice president of the martial arts club, how he was rumored to be having an affair with Luna, and also how Luna changed her mind at the last minute when they were in the chancellor’s office.

“I got it. Anything else?” Zachary replied without any expression on his face after hearing this.

“No, Mr. Quinn,” Howard said carefully.

He knew that Zachary had to be in a bad mood now.

“Alright, that’s all. Contact me if there’s anything else.” After Zachary finished saying that, he hung up immediately and then smashed the phone on the wall across from him with all his might. Smash!

The women who were massaging him trembled in fear.

“David, since you have the balls to come here, then let’s settle our old and new accounts together. I will not let you leave Capital City!” Zachary said through gritted teeth.

Not only did David cause him to lose his face in front of the other fighters in T Faction, he even dared to touch his fiancé. How bold of him to do so!

‘Since you dare to come to Capital City, then don’t blame me for being vicious and merciless.

Chapter 240

David had no idea that Howard had told Zachary about him promising the chancellor Oliver that he would join the academic exchange at Greenwood University.

Or that Zachary, a Capital City local, was waiting for David to walk right into his trap.

If Stan from T Faction did not prohibit him from seeking revenge against David because he did not want to cause unnecessary trouble when the ten-year appointment came, he would even have taken someone straight to River City to retaliate against David.

Zachary had never suffered from such a loss since he was a child. During this time, he had completely become the laughingstock of the T Faction. It was one thing for the eight great fighters to laugh at him, but some irrelevant people even dare to talk about him behind his back too. They were really trying to court death.

David’s trip to Capital City this time was destined to be chaotic.

of course, even if he knew about it, he would not take it to heart. After joining the National Special Task Force and Falcon, and enjoying a huge improvement in his strength a few days ago, Zachary was no longer worthy to be his opponent.

The next day, David texted Leeman, the leader of Special Task Force

Team A, early in the morning, saying that he had arrived in Capital City.

Leeman asked David to tell him where he was and then asked David to wait, saying that someone would come and pick him up. About an hour later, David received a call stating that the person who was here to pick him up had arrived at the Starry Night Hotel in a pure black off-road vehicle.

When David walked out of the entrance of the Starry Night Hotel, he saw a black off-road vehicle parked at the entrance. Hence, he got straight into the car.

The driver was a middle-aged man. After David got into the car, he did not talk to David, let alone question David before driving away. Along the way, the other party had no intention of speaking, so David did not ask any questions. They soon drove for about half an hour.

The car turned from the bustling street into a quiet alley where two guards were standing guard. After driving for another five minutes, the car finally stopped.

“Go in, the team leader is waiting for you inside.” This was the first time the middle-aged driver spoke.

“Thanks, man,” David said, opening the door and getting out of the car.

In front of him was the gate to a courtyard house.

David pushed it gently and the door opened. Then, he walked in. The courtyard house was huge, and it was surrounded by trees. There was a pond in the middle of the estate, at the center of which stood a huge rock.

After David walked past the pond, he saw an old man in his sixties sitting on a rattan chair under a tree. He was reading a newspaper while a young man in his thirties stood behind him.

The old man put down the newspaper in his hand and looked at David. In an instant, David felt a huge pressure coming towards him and he instinctively let out his aura to resist it.

‘So strong,’ David thought to himself.

“Huh?

“What’s this?”

Leeman sensed that something was not right, but he did not say anything. Instead, he said to the person behind him, “Otis, go get David’s documents and the other one that needs his signature.” “Yes, sir.” Otis left the courtyard house after he said that. When he walked next to David, he glanced at him inexplicably.

“You’re David Lidell?” Leeman asked after Otis left.

“Yes, that’s me. And you are?” David asked.

Even though he knew this person might be the team leader of Special Task Force Ream A, it would be better to make sure.

“I am Leeman Scholl, and I am your team leader.” Indeed, Leeman answered.

“Hello, Team Leader Scholl,” David greeted.

“David, we didn’t ask you to come here this time for anything major.

Mainly, it was to give you the papers representing your identity as a backup member of Special Task Force Team A and for you to sign a non-disclosure agreement. Since you joined Team A, you are now one of the country’s employees. However, due to the particularity of our work, we are generally not allowed to reveal our identities.” “Yes, sir,” David replied.

“As a backup member of Team A, I believe you’ve read some of the rules and regulations, and also the authorities and obligations. Hence, I will not go into that. Rather, I have a question to ask you,” Leeman looked at David and said.

“Team Leader Scholl, please go ahead.”

Leeman stared at David without speaking.
