Chapter 311

Hanley looked at and waited for the two of them to make their decision.

As long as both of them agreed, he knew that Celia was too weak-willed to ignore her parents’ sufferings and insist on being with David.

Jon and Mindy shared a look.

It was just as they had deduced that morning.

This heir of the Chasez family was angry and jealous tjat Celia was with David instead of him, and that was why he had targeted them.

Mindy was about to ask Hanley to give them some time to consider their options.

Only for Jon to interrupt, “My apologies, Mr. Chasez, but Celia has the right to make her own decisions. We may be her parents, but that does not give us the right to make such decisions for her. If she likes you and chooses to be with you, we will not object. If she likes someone else and chooses to be with them instead, we will not object either.”

Mindy flushed. She did not expect her husband to decline Hanley so directly. She had already planned to persuade Celia.

“Oh? So you’re choosing option two, then?” Hanley asked darkly.

“It’s not that we’re choosing option two, it’s just that number two is our only option,” Jon replied.

Jon had always been a righteous man and it could be seen in his attitude and the way he handled his affairs. This was also why Mindy decided to start a business in a huff of anger back then.

He had the ability to improve his family’s living conditions back then, but he refused to earn money from gray areas of the law. Thus, Mindy decided she would enter the business industry and make her own money.

Jon would rather retreat to the county than sacrifice his daughter’s happiness for a brighter career.

“If that’s the case, then I’ll make it clear for you. You’ve worked for years in the business industry, Mrs. Young, now that something illegal has been found in your makeup products, have you ever thought that you would have to spend the rest of your life in jail?” Hanley asked sinisterly.

If they refused to agree when he was nice, then it was not his fault that he was being cruel now.

“What? You…” Mindy shouted in horror.

“Hanley! That’s not possible!” Jon said, suppressing his anger.

“Really? Just you wait, then!”

Then, Hanley turned and left the office with Elmer and Beautylish Group’s general manager following behind him.

“Jon! I don’t want to live the rest of my life in jail! Save me!” Mindy wailed.

She was truly afraid as the Chasez family was powerful enough to easily frame her for something like this.

“Don’t worry, I won’t let them get away with that!”

Then Jon pulled out his phone to call his old senior officer.

When Mindy blamed Jon for his unwillingness to use his power for benefits, she had no idea that the old senior officer had chosen Jon as his secretary because of Jon’s upright attitude. The moment Jon used his authority for selfish benefits, he would have gotten fired.

Jon knew that the old senior officer was a righteous man as well.

The call went through and Jon told the old senior officer everything that happened just now.

“Jon! Do as you planned, I’ll make sure your family stays safe. No matter how powerful the Chasez family are, they will never be above the law!” The old man said strongly over the phone.

“Thank you, Sir!” Jon said, tearing up. with the old senior officer’s promise, the couple let out a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone.

Knowing the old senior officer, he would surely do as he promised.

Next, the couple spread the news of the Beautylish Group selling their shares. Despite knowing that no one would buy, they still decided to try anyway. After all, there was the chance that an enemy of the Chasez family or someone unaware of the situation would be persuaded to buy it.

If they managed to sell the shares out, the debt was no longer their problem to deal with.

They did not hold too much hope as these shares were worth over three billion dollars but now had to be sold at five hundred thousand.

They wanted to set the price lower, but they were also afraid that any lower value would result i n arousing the potential buyer’s suspicion.

These shares were about to transform into a huge burden of debt. They were willing to give the shares away for free, let alone make a profit out of it. After Hanley left the Beautylish Group headquarters, he spoke to his butler after he got into the car, “Elmer, discover something in the makeup products you pulled off the shelf as I said just now. We’ll lock Mindy up first, I’d like to see if they still have the courage to talk to me

“Yes, Mr. Hanley!”

Elmer started making calls after replying.

Not too long later, however, Elmer received news that gave him a huge frown.

“Mr. Hanley, we’ve got a problem,” Elmer reported.

“What problem?” Hanley asked.

“Someone’s stepping out to protect Jon’s family, and it’s someone of pretty high status as well! We need another plan,” Elmer replied.

“Damn it! It must be that old b*stard! Just die already, old fart! Then immediately pull down the values of Mindy’s shares! Drag them as low as possible!” Hanely shouted angrily.

“Yes, Mr. Hanley!”

As the head of East League International’s Capital city investment team, Hugo had been keeping an eye on the changes in Capital city’s business world.

Progress has been rather slow these days, having only spent around a billion on purchasing housing every day. His superior was rather upset with him and so Hugo felt the urgent need to spend money somewhere as well.

However, Capital City’s business industry had its own inner circles, and it was difficult for a newcomer to join the circle.

Whenever they heard that some company needed investing, the investments were either

already done or East League was rejected when they went out to seek out new deals. Hence, East League had no opportunity to enter the market.

East League International had only managed to find a footing in Springfield because David personally got rid of a bunch of powerful families.

David was uninterested in investments of less than a hundred million, but they had no opportunity to invest in anything more than that.

Hugo sighed with irritation. His mission was very difficult.

He felt very frustrated.

Despite doing overtime every day, business was still far from ideal.

Yet today, he had received news that the chairman of Beautylish Group was selling 46% if Beautylish Group’s shares at the cost of five hundred million.

The team quickly started to find out more about this Beautylish Group.

In no time, data was collected.

Beautylish Group had a market share of eight billion dollars.

46% of that was more than three billion dollars.

They could not believe their eyes.

It did not make sense to sell shares worth three billion dollars at the price of five hundred million. Hugo could feel that something was wrong, but he decided to contact the other party first.

Chapter 312

Jon and Mindy decided to go home after releasing news that they were selling their shares.

They did not hold too much hope, but Mindy received a call from an unknown number not too long after they arrived home

The other party actually wanted to buy the shares of Beuatylish Group.

They were elated by the news.

As long as the other party was willing to buy, the Young family would be willing to sell their shares at any price. They were even willing to give the shares away for free.

Then, Hugo asked Mindy a question.

He wanted to know why the 46% of shares that was worth more than three billion were sold at just five hundred million.

Mindy then told him that it was because she accidentally made an enemy of someone she could not afford to, thus she wanted to sell the shares cheaply and leave Capital City.

Hugo could feel that there was more to the story, but he still decided to buy the shares. This five hundred million was a small amount to him compared to the tens of billions he had spent, but he thought that this was worth the risk.

As for accidentally making an enemy out of someone, Hugo did not care about that at all.

East League International made enemies in Springfield as well, but the incident ended with the other party being destroyed and the Springfield market opening to them.

If the same incident repeated itself in Capital City, East League International should be able to establish a foothold here as well.

If anything, he was afraid that the other party did not dare to make an enemy of East League instead.

Hugo expressed that he was willing to buy Beautylish Group’s shares and asked Mindy when she would like to sign the contract.

Mindy wanted to sign the contract as soon as possible, so she suggested signing it immediately.

With that, both parties were in agreement and immediately signed the contract.

Hugo brought the lawyer and contract with him as he went to meet Mindy and Jon at Beautylish Group’s headquarters.

Mindy did not even look at the contract properly, merely sweeping her eyes across the document that would transfer her shares to East League International and immediately signed.

As long as the shares were transferred to someone else, she could not care less how much she would earn from this.

After Mindy signed the contract, he quickly transferred five hundred million to her.

Mindy and her husband were elated when they received the five hundred million.

Not only was the problem resolved, but they now had a huge sum of funds as well. With these funds, the family would be able to live comfortably in Shu City.

All they had to do now was think of a way to convince Celia and David to return to Shu City with them.

They would have to move as quickly as possible before the Chasez family decided to make another move.

With this problem solved, the couple returned home to get a good nights’ rest.

The next day.

Elmer was about to cripple Mindy with debt when he suddenly realized that the shareholder of Beautylish Group had changed to someone else.

That was impossible

Elmer was confused.

No one in Capital City should dare to buy Beautylish Group’s shares now that the Chasez family had made it known that they were the ones behind the attack.

People would need to have a death wish to buy Beautylish Group’s shares anyway.

Elmer wondered if the buyer was the Chasez family’s rival and if they bought the shares just t o screw with the Chasez family.

He quickly searched this company up.

It was East League International Investment Group.

A company that had only appeared two months ago

Its headquarters were in South River Province and it had branches in both Springfield and Capital City In two months, this group had spent more than four hundred billion on investments.

After spending another five hundred billion, this company would have spent more than one trillion dollars.

Elmer was shocked.

There must be more to this company if they could spend so much cash.

It was highly likely that this company had the financial support of some extremely powerful hidden aristocratic family.

Elmer immediately told Hanley about this.

Hanley was enraged.

He had put so much effort just to push Mindy into a corner and force Celia to do as he wished.

Now all his hard work was for naught thanks to this East League International.

He could not accept this.

This company was an outsider, so what if they were wealthy? Not everything could be solved with money.

He was curious just how this outsider planned to hold themselves against the Chasez family.

At the same time, Hanley also realized that once Mindy had gotten rid of Beautylish Group’s funds, she would bring Celia away from Capital City.

Thus, he quickly arranged for someone to follow Mindy and her husband.

Jon and his wife finally got a good nights’ rest, after staying awake the whole night yesterday and finally solving their problems today. When they woke up, they originally planned to call Celia over to discuss leaving Capital City, only to realize that Celia had left the house early that morning.

They had no other choice but to book a flight to South River Province on Monday and wait for Celia to return.

Hanley felt worried when he received news that Jon and his family had booked a flight to leave.

He could not let Celia leave Capital City.

The moment she left, he would have no more chance to be with Celia anymore.

This was all East League International’s fault.

They were the ones who helped Mindy get rid of Beautylish Group’s shares and allowed her to leave Capital City.

However, now was not the time to think about that. He had to stop Celia from leaving Capital City.

He thought about what he could do.

He could not play dirty, as Jon had the old senior officer watching over him and the Chasez family had not yet gotten to the point of being above the law in Capital City.

There were a few powerful and distinguished wealthy families more influential than the Chasez family in Capital City.

Slowly, a cruel plan came to Hanley’s mind.

He was going to forcefully make her his.

He believed that the Chasez family had the power to protect him if he got penalized for such behavior.

Hence, Hanley called Ezra, and after confirming the location of Celia’s car, he drove over.

Celia had agreed to meet with two friends to shop in the mall.

After buying everything, they went their separate ways.

However, just after Celia watch her two friends leave, she bumped into Hanley.

“Celia! What a coincidence,” Hanley said with a smile. “Hello, Hanley,” Celia replied.

“It’s noon, Celia, how about we have lunch together?”

“Sorry, Hanley. I already ate with my friends just now. I’ve got to go home now. Bye!”

Then, Celia turned to leave, only for Hanley to grab her wrist.

“Come on, Celia. For me,” Hanley said, suppressing his anger.

“I’m really sorry! We’re not that close, please let go!”

Celia tried to shake Hanley’s hand off, but it was to no avail. Hanley might not have exerted much strength, but he was still a second-class peak level master. Celia was just a weak little girl, so naturally, she could not pull her hand away.

Their little struggle attracted the attention of the crowd.

“Let me go, Hanley!” Celia tried to struggle.

“Sorry, sorry. My girlfriend’s angry at me, we’ll get going now.” Then, Hanley dragged Celia away. The latter screamed as she tried to break free, but it was ton o avail.

Everyone assumed that this was really a fight between a couple and so ignored it and dispersed.

Meanwhile, Hanley dragged Celia towards his car,

He had already gone mad.

His grasp kept tightening around Celia’s wrist as well, and she teared up in pain.

She still could not get away.

She could also feel that something was wrong with Hanley today but there was nothing she could do about it.

Chapter 313

Hanley’s car was a short distance away and he practically dragged Celia over to it.

No matter how Celia struggled and shouted, it seemed hopeless. Just as Hanley was about to open the car door and shove Celia inside, someone finally stopped him.

Luna had also come out this weekend to buy some things and kill boredom.

Women, in general, had an innate enjoyment when shopping, be it fragile girls like Celia or aloof goddesses like Luna.

The last thing Luna expected was to see David’s rumored girlfriend Celia holding hands with another man at the entrance of the shopping mall.

She originally thought that Celia was two-timing David and decided not to poke her nose into someone else’s problems, but she slowly realized that something was wrong.

It was evident that Celia did not want to follow the man who was being dragged away.

Something was surely going to happen if the man managed to drag her into the car.

Since she was also a woman, Luna found it impossible to leave this matter to fester. Not to mention that Celia was David’s rumored girlfriend, and she needed an opportunity to get David on her side.

No matter what, she had to do something about this.

Just as Hanley was about to throw Celia into the car, Luna stepped up and stopped him.

Hanley looked at Luna and said, “Who are you? This is a matter between me and my girlfriend, get your nose out of my business!”

Luna was an absolute beauty as well, but Hanley was in no mood to appreciate it as his immediate goal was to get Celia into the car and forcefully take her.

The crush he had been pursuing for three years was about to be his. Hanley was excited.

Hanley did not care if his tricks were dirty anymore, he was willing to do anything to make Celia his.

“Save me, Miss! Please! I’m not his girlfriend, he’s trying to kidnap me!” As if seeing her savior, Celia begged Luna for help.

Celia did not know who Luna was, but Luna knew that Celia was David’s rumored girlfriend.

She had been studying David for quite some time these days and she needed a way to get the man to help her willingly.

“Who I am doesn’t matter. What matters is that Miss Celia over here isn’t your girlfriend.

What do you think you’re doing, hmm? Daylight kidnapping?” Luna said loudly.

This attracted the attention of many passers-by.

“Please help me call the police! I’m not his girlfriend, he’s trying to kidnap me!” Celia shouted at this moment.

Some people were already pulling out their phones to take pictures.

Hanley immediately let go of Celia’s wrist, his complexion flushing and paling with anger as h e glared at Luna

This stupid woman was foiling his plans. He had almost managed to shove Celia into his car before she showed up.

Plus, this woman knew who Celia was and that meant there was no way he could carry out his plans today.

However, if he let Celia leave today, she would leave Capital City with her parents tomorrow.

Hanley did not know what to do.

Freed, Celia immediately ran to hide behind Luna.

“Do you people not have any f*cking better things to do? F*ck off, what does my argument with my girlfriend have to do with you people, huh? F*ck off before I find each of you and make you pay later!” Hanley shouted at the crowd.

Those not wanting to cause trouble slowly moved away.

The majority were hesitant but slowly left as well after seeing the high-class sports car behind Hanley.

Only people of special family backgrounds could afford such an expensive car. These people did not find this gossip worth getting into trouble for.

Those who remained were people of somewhat powerful families and did not care about getting in trouble.

“Go ahead, don’t let me bother you! I’m just going to watch, I won’t say anything, take pictures, or call the police!” Said one of the ones who remained.

“Yeah, yeah! Don’t let me stop you, I’m just here to look at pretty girls,” said the others watching.

“Hmph! Are you sure you want to watch the T Faction at work?” Hanley asked.

The crowd’s expressions changed when they heard the words T Faction.

They were not completely ignorant of the world.

Among the youths in Capital City, T Faction was undoubtedly a circle that the majority wanted to be a part of.

Many people wanted to join the circle but had no one to bring them inside.

Within the circle were various youths of aristocratic families in Capital City.

Ordinary people could not join T Faction, but they also did not want to get into trouble with T Faction.

“I see, so you’re a member of the T Faction! Go ahead, then, I’ll get going now!”

Chapter 314

A moment later, the small crowd dispersed.

Hanley watched them leave before turning to glare at Luna coldly. “I’d mind my own business i f I were you! This isn’t something you can afford to poke your nose into! Be careful before you get yourself and your family in trouble for this.” “Oh? Even more reason for me to poke my nose into this, then! I’d like to see how you plan to get me in trouble,” Luna said with a smile, completely ignoring Hanley’s threat.

She might not be the favored child in the Shoron family, but she was still the oldest daughter. I t was not that she was underestimating Hanley’s capability, but she would be elated if Hanley had managed to get the Shoron family involved in this.

After all, that would break the current impasse.

As to what this T Faction was, she did not care about it at all.

Zachary was supposed to be one of the eight great fighters of Capital City’s T Faction.

Though that was before he made an enemy of someone he should not have and paid the price with his life.

Not even the Quinn family dared to stand up for him, let alone T Faction.

“Are you sure you want to poke your nose in this?” Hanley tightened his jaw and asked.

He was going to bring Celia away no matter what today, or he was going to lose his last chance.

The ire that he had been suppressing all this while exploded and he no longer cared about propriety.

So what if he forced himself on Celia?

Worse come to worst, his brother and grandfather would beat him up, but that was still a consequence he could bear.

“Yes,” Luna said seriously.

Hanley stared at Luna for a while before suddenly and quickly reaching out to grab Celia behind Luna.

He was going to bring Celia away forcefully.

“Thump!”

Yet, before he could touch Celia, he was kicked away by a long leg.

Hanley was confused.

He looked at the offending leg and found that it belonged to Luna.

“I said I was going to poke my nose into this, didn’t l?” Luna said calmly.

“Then I’ll get rid of you first!”

Hanley attacked Luna.

The two of them quickly got into a fight.

Hanley felt more afraid as he fought.

He did not expect Luna to be so strong and powerful to match a second-class peak level like himself.

After a few dozen rounds, both sides took a step back, unable to deal substantial damage to the other.

“Just who are you?” Hanley asked.

She was too young and powerful to be an ordinary person.

“That’s not something you need to know. All you need to know is that I won’t let you get away with what you have in mind today,” Luna said.

“Fine! I’ll remember you!”

Hanley said and thought about leaving. His plan to force himself on Celia was foiled and he needed to think of another way to stop Celia’s family from leaving.

However, at this moment, Luna suddenly had an idea and attacked Hanley just as he turned to leave.

Hanley did not expect Luna to suddenly attack and punched her instinctively.

This hit was supposed to be met with her palm, but Luna attacked slightly to the side and knocked her own shoulder against Hanley’s fist while her palm hit Hanley’s chest.

“Thump!”

Both parties staggered a few steps backward and Hanley knocked into his beloved car, leaving a dent in his expensive sports car.

Both of them had blood trickling from the corners of their mouths after regaining their footing.

“Miss! Miss! Are you alright?” Celia went up to support Luna and asked worriedly.

“I’m fine.” Meanwhile, Hanley glanced at Luna before turning to leave.

Chapter 315

After Hanley left, Luna and Celia were still rooted in place as a crowd gathered far away.

“Celia, help me get somewhere quiet,” Luna said.

“How about I send you to the hospital instead, Miss? You’re bleeding!” Celia said frantically.

“I’m fine, Celia. Let’s go somewhere else.”

“Okay, then.”

The two of them went somewhere less crowded.

“Thank you so much, Miss! Oh, right. How do you know my name?” Celia asked.

“I know David and I saw the both of you together before. Call David and ask him to come and fetch you, we don’t know if that person has any other plans and we might not be able to get away if he comes back,” Luna said.

“Yeah, okay.”

Celia pulled out her phone to call David.

David was currently in the bath when Celia called.

He had just spent a hundred lavish points he just earned, and his body stats had been enhanced from extraordinary level 5 to 6. He felt slightly heated so he decided to take a cold shower.

David was shocked when he heard that Celia had almost gotten kidnapped. He quickly put on his clothes and went straight for the location Celia sent to him.

By the time he arrived, he realized that Luna was there as well and looked rather injured.

“Celia, are you alright?” David asked.

Seeing David arrive, Celia finally let out a sigh of relief and went to hug David. Then she told David what happened with a pitiful and mistreated expression on her face.

Luna was internally elated when she saw how close the two of them were. It seemed like she had betted correctly.

“Is Hanley the one by the artificial pond that day you called me over for dinner?

“Yeah! That’s the one! He’s been pursuing me all this while, but I never accepted him!”

“Alright. I know, get in the car first.” “David, we should send this lady to the hospital first! She got hurt saving me!” Celia said.

“Don’t worry, I’ll arrange for something. Get in the car first,” David consoled.

“Alright!”

Then, Celia got into the passenger seat of David’s Benz G-Class.

“Alright, you can stop pretending now,” David told Luna after watching Celia get into the car.

“W-what do you mean pretending? I got severely injured from saving your precious little girlfriend! First, you show no gratitude, and now you’re even accusing me of pretending? What kind of man are you?” Luna shot back.

“I’ve met that Hanley before and he’s just a weak second-class peak level master. You expect m e to believe that you, a mid-rank master, got hurt fighting a second-class peak level weakling?” David asked expressionlessly.

“How…”

Luna’s heart stuttered.

This was impossible, David could not have known of her true strength.

Not when it was her biggest secret and had never told or revealed it to anyone else before.

Not even her family knew about this.

Nor did she plan to reveal it until she was certain she could win Wendy.

Her strength was her only trump card and David somehow knew about it.

Luna wondered how David managed to find out and internally exclaimed about how terrifying i t was.

She was in a cold sweat.

“You’re wondering how I know about your true strength, right?”

“How…”

“Let me make it clear, Luna, your plans are just boring tricks in my eyes. Did you think that just because you pretended to get injured saving Celia, I’ll be grateful to you and willingly help you with whatever you have planned?”

“How…”

All Luna could say was three consecutive “how’s” and not another word.

This man was terrifying.

He was very perceptive and extremely powerful.

Luna felt that it was impossible to hide any secrets from him.

She did not know that David’s mind power was so strong

Strong enough that he could not only perceive extremely small details, but he could also feel the martial arts realm of people weaker than he was.

Coupled with his clear mind, a quick deduction allowed him to recount pretty much what had just happened.

His powerful mind power also allowed him to watch the environment around him during combat, so he could make use of any advantage, find his opponent’s weakness, and attack them.

David had yet to meet someone whose mind power was stronger than his.

Leeman and Lucas may be physically stronger than he was, but their mind power was hardly as powerful as his.

David’s mind power was his unique advantage.

“While you did indeed use a few tricks, it’s also a fact that you saved Celia today. She might have faced irreparable trauma if not for you, so I can promise to help you do one thing as long as it does not go against my moral code. Think about what you want before looking for me again… and maybe don’t try to trick me again.”

After that David relaxed and the overpowering aura he emitted just now disappeared.

Luna felt cold.

David left with Celia, leaving Luna to shiver in the same spot.

Rather than being afraid of David’s presence, she was shaking in excitement.

She had only felt the same pressuring aura David had emitted just now from her father and grandfather.

David was no longer a Tiger Rank master.

He was much more powerful now, as a Dragon Rank master.

Luna’s father had only broken through to the Dragon Rank when he was almost forty, and he had been honored as a proper genius in the Sharon family.

David was only in his early twenties.

She had never heard of such a young Dragon Rank master before.

“Genius” was not enough to describe David’s excellence.

He was a monster, and had a wicked amount of talent.

David had only given off the feeling of being a Tiger Rank master more than a month ago.

Yet today, he was oozing with the power of a Dragon Rank master.

She wondered if he had been hiding his true strength all this while or if he had just broken through recently.

Not that any of that mattered. What most important was that David was stronger now, and the stronger he is, the more advantageous it was to her.

While her tricks had not managed to earn her David’s favor, all that mattered was that she had his word.

Now was not the time to cash in on this promise.

There was one more year until university graduation and that was when she would come clean to her family.

‘Grow stronger, David!

Become as strong as you can!

At this moment, endless hope burned in Luna’s heart.

‘I promised that I’d give you a huge gift, Wendy! ‘Here’s hoping that you can take it!

Chapter 316

David sent Celia home.

Jon and Mindy were at home packing up to leave Capital City the next day.

When David and Celia came back together, the husband and wife tried to convince them to leave alongside them.

Celia hugged Mindy and began to cry. When the couple asked, they learned that Hanley had almost kidnapped Celia.

It scared the hell out of them.

Then they told Celia and David what happened in the past two days and asked them to leave as well.

Celia was in tears when she heard everything her parents had endured for her without telling her because they were scared that she would worry.

Although David was calm on the surface, there was an evil fire in his heart that could not be extinguished.

‘How dare Hanley play dirty?’

David would say nothing if he were courting Celia regularly because she was indeed likable.

However, he was seeking trouble by playing dirty! It seemed Zachary’s death was not able to intimidate the heirs of aristocratic families, so he would do it again before these jerks came out and caused trouble in society.

Now that the Chasez family was involved, he would destroy the Chasez family and make them an example!

“Uncle, Aunt! Don’t panic. I’ll take care of this! I’ll give you a satisfactory answer,” said David. “You’ll take care of it?” Jon and his wife froze!

‘What does he mean?

‘David is just a student from a small county!

‘It involves Capital City’s first-rate aristocratic family.

‘How dare David say he’ll take care of it?

‘Did he get kicked in the head?’

“David, leave with us tomorrow! We’ve already bought tickets to your hometown-Shu City, and we’ll have a great time there too! Don’t do anything stupid! We can’t afford to offend the Chasez family!” Jon said.

He thought David was going to seek revenge on Hanley.

David could forget about ever getting out of prison if he was caught for doing such a thing.

“Aunt, Uncle! I know what to do! Wait for me!” David got up and left as soon as he finished speaking

He needed to vent!

“Celia, go get David before he does something stupid!” Jon yelled at Celia.

“Okay!” Celia replied and hurried out.

“I didn’t expect David to have such guts!” Mindy said.

“What guts? He’s being silly!

“His girlfriend was almost bullied. I’d look down on him if he did nothing!

“Do you think he’ll make it back in one piece?

“Don’t worry. He won’t even be able to get through the Chasez family’s door. Besides, he should come back after some time has passed and he has calmed down.”

David had just gotten in the car and was starting to drive away when Celia caught up with him.

“David, could you not go? Please! I’m alright!” Celia cried as she stopped David’s car. 3

David got out of the car and wiped Celia’s tears, saying, “Celia, trust me! I won’t do anything I’m not sure about! Go back and wait for me with your parents, okay?” “But… I’m scared! I’m scared you’ll never come back!”

“No! I’ll be back soon! Really. When have I ever lied to you?”

“You must come back then!”

“Certainly!” In the end, Celia chose to believe David.

Chapter 317

After seeing David leave with tears in her eyes, Celia returned home.

David called Team D, Special Task Force’s intelligence unit, to ask about Hanley’s whereabouts.

Then he called Falcon’s intelligence unit-Team Spider.

Soon, the two groups were able to locate Hanley based on the route his car took and sent the address to David.

The second heir of the Chasez family, Hanley was in a villa on the east side.

The eldest heir of the Chasez family, Hank Chasez seemed to be there too.

David smiled when he received the news. He could get rid of them once and for all.

As David made his way to where the Chasez brothers were, Special Task Force and Falcon’s intelligence unit reported that David had just inquired about the second heir of the Chasez family to their team leader and captain respectively.

After Team D’s team leader and Team Spider’s captain received the news and passed it on to Team A’s team leader Leeman and Team Vulture’s captain Lucas.

Lucas was confused when he received the message.

‘Did the second heir of the Chasez family offend David?

‘The heir of the Quinn family, Zachary, hasn’t been dead for long.

‘Why did someone mess with David again?

‘Wait a minute!

‘The Chasez family?

‘Is it the Chasez family I’m thinking of?’

Lucas immediately contacted Team Spider again. After confirming that it was the Chasez family Joseph was in, he immediately called David.

David was driving when his cell phone rang. He picked it up and saw it was Lucas, Vulture’s captain, but he simply chose not to answer it.

Things would get complicated if Lucas called and told him to stop. He insisted on killing Hanley, so he would rather kill him first and suffer the consequences later.

Lucas called David twice, but David did not answer, apparently on purpose.

“That brat! He’s giving me so much trouble!”

Lucas yelled and rushed to where Hanley was.

On his way there, he got a call from Leeman, the team leader of team A. They had the same idea.

Lucas was closer, so he was going to stop David.

They could not let David kill the heir to the Chasez family, or there would be trouble.

After Luna stopped Hanley from taking Celia away by force, he turned around and finally decided to go to his big brother for advice.

Due to Zachary’s death and the perpetrator being in Capital City, Hank chose to lay low for a few days and practice martial arts here, hoping to step into Tiger Rank as soon as possible.

“Hank! Her family is leaving Capital City tomorrow. What do I do?” Asked Hanley.

“Is your head filled with sh*t? How could you let them get away? You’ve humiliated the Chasez family,” scolded Hank.

“What can I do? I was about to succeed, but ab*tch saved her. She’s as good as me, and is also a t the second-class peak level. It was a draw.”

“Why didn’t you bring more people?”

“Who would have thought that someone would show up and disrupt my plans? Celia’s just a regular human being. If it weren’t for that b*tch, I’d be having my way with Celia by now.”

“F*ck off! All you have on your mind is women!”

“Hank! I must have Celia. Help me!”

“Are you sure you’ve looked into her background?”

“Absolutely. If they had some powerful background, why would they book a flight tomorrowt o escape?”

Hank thought it over and agreed, so he said, “How about taking someone to her house in the middle of the night and kidnapping her? Do I have to teach you everything?”

“Yeah! Why didn’t I think they’d be home tonight since they’re leaving tomorrow? Thanks, Hank!” Hanley said happily.

At this moment, a solemn voice rang out through the villa’s living room.

“Who are you going to kidnap tonight?”.

Chapter 318

David had just reached the entrance to the villa when he heard Hank and Hanley talking due to his strong mind power and keen senses.

‘How dare he think of kidnapping Celia in the middle of the night?

‘Is he disregarding the law?

‘If I don’t do it today, I will regret it tomorrow.

‘These people deserve to die!’

“Who is it?”

Hank and Hanley looked around.

They found that a young man had appeared in the villa’s living room at some point.

Hanley took a closer look. ‘Isn’t that David?’

“David, what… what are you doing here?” Asked Hanley.

“Do you know him?” Hank asked Hanley.

“Yes! He’s an exchange student from South River University. Celia’s with him!”

“Oh? David, is it? Do you know that trespassing is a serious crime? Are you ready to go to prison for the rest of your life? No, perhaps some accident will happen instead!” Hank looked a t David and said.

He was only a university student from the South River Province. As far as Hank was concerned, he could squeeze David to death at will.

“If that’s a serious crime, what about your crime of plotting to kidnap Celia tonight?”

“It’s none of your business because you won’t have the chance to expose us!”

“It is! In my opinion, it’s a capital crime!”

“Hahaha! A capital crime? Who do you think you are?”

“It doesn’t matter who I am. What matters is that Zachary’s death doesn’t seem to matter to heirs of aristocratic families like you. Everybody wants to push my buttons. Zachary wanted m e dead, and he died. You want to disturb the people around you, so you’re worse than he was and deserve to die more!”

‘What?’

Hank and Hanley instantly felt their heads spinning!

Every word David said made them look paler.

By the time David finished, they had gone from all smiles to shaking in fear!

“You… you… you killed Zachary? Did you… you… you… kill Zachary?” Hank asked in a trembling voice.

Why would he come here to retreat?

Was it not to hide from the jinx, David?

Stan said the guy who killed Zachary was still in Capital City and told them to watch out, lay low, and not to mess with the jinx.

The Quinn family could not afford to offend him! The Chasez family too!

However, he had led him right to their front door.

He did not doubt the authenticity of what David said because most people had no idea about it. Even he did not know the full details.

“Not only did I kill Zachary, but I’m also going to kill you! Any last words? I’m not going to pass them on though.”

Boom!

David could no longer repress his anger and instantly exploded with energy.

David set off a huge storm in the villa’s living room without any reservation. Even the tables and chairs began to shake.

Hank and Hanley felt the pressure on their faces. It crushed them so fast they could hardly breathe.

The force of a master in the Dragon Rank was not something that those in the first or second class could resist. Besides, David went all out this time.

Just the force he released made them powerless to fight back. They felt like a boat in the sea that could be sunk by the waves at any time.

“David… David! Don’t… don’t kill me!

“Help… help… help me!”

Hank yelled with all his might.

Though he knew it was pointless, asking for help when one was in a life and death crisis was instinctive!

Hanley could not speak at this point.

He was on the verge of fainting, unable to resist at his level.

Just as David was about to end it, a loud voice echoed through the villa’s living room.

“David, stop!”

Then, a force more powerful than David suddenly arrived and collided with his energy.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom…

The sound of explosions in the air rang in their ears!

Chapter 319

Hanley passed out under the double pressure.

Hank was the only one still hanging on. After all, he was also a first-class peak level master and was about to join Tiger Rank. He had a much stronger endurance than Hanley.

A tall figure suddenly appeared in the living room and stood in front of Hank and Hanley.

The pressure on Hank was gone, but his clothes were already wet with sweat.

Saved at last!’

Hank was relieved. He had no idea who the person in front of him was, but he did not care who it was as long as they saved him!

David stared intently at the person standing in front of Hank and Hanley.

Lucas!

The spirit of Somerland – Falcon-Team Vulture’s captain!

Lucas ignored David and looked at the Chasez brothers behind him.

He was relieved after making sure they were all right!

‘Great!

‘I made it in time!

If the Chasez brothers had died here, what happened next would have been troublesome.

“Leave first!” Lucas said to Hank.

“Thank you, Sir!”

Hank quickly picked up Hanley on his back, went past the two, and left from the other side of the living room, keeping his eyes on David in case he suddenly attacked.

David did nothing until the Chasez brothers left the hall.

He knew he could not kill them with Lucas here.

However, he needed an explanation!

“Why did you stop me?” David asked in a grim voice.

He was like a raging beast right now, ready to strike at any moment.

Lucas sighed when he saw David’s current state.

The Chasez family’s punks had somehow offended David, getting him all worked up.

Knowing David, there was no way David would have killed these two for no reason. “Because the

Chasez Brothers can’t die yet!” Lucas replied. “The reason!” “Because of someone!” “Who?”

“Justin Chasez!”

“Who is Justin Chasez?”

“The Chasez brothers’ uncle! The head of the Chasez family, Joseph Chasez’s son.”

David said nothing and continued to look at Lucas.

The answer was not enough to convince him.

“If the Chasez brothers died here today, Somerland would be in jeopardy! Many pillars of the country would have died due to your irrational behavior! You can’t bear the consequences for doing such a thing yet.”

David scowled. It would be troublesome if it involved the entire country of Somerland.

The Chasez family was just a first-rate aristocratic family in Capital City, similar to the Quinn family. Even if it was stronger, it would not be by much. Was it really that strong?

David was a little puzzled!

Why could he kill Zachary but not the heirs of the Chasez family, who were also a first-rate aristocratic family?

Lucas added, “If you want to kill the Chasez brothers or even the Chasez family, you have to get past Justin first. I will not stop you as long as you can get rid of Justin.”

“Is Justin strong?” Asked David.

“I’m no match for him!” Lucas replied.

‘What?’

David was surprised!

Lucas said he was no match for him.

Then he was currently no match for him too!

This was because he could not even beat Lucas right now.

Chapter 320

Lucas carefully explained to David why he had stopped him!

More than 20 years ago, Julius was popular in Capital City. He was so talented that he even eclipsed the heirs of several top affluent families at that time.

The Chasez family also had high hopes for him, treating him as the next head of the Chasez family, hoping that he could lead the family further up the rankings of affluent families.

Although Joseph chose Justin’s name in reference to justice, Justin was cruel, contrary to his namesake. Anyone who offended him would be tortured to death through various means.

Although the Chasez family tried to hide it, it was eventually exposed and attracted the attention of Special Task Force–the soul of Somerland.

Joseph sent Justin out of Somerland at a great cost.

Unexpectedly, Justin was like a duck in water when he went abroad. With his outstanding talent and strength, he quickly established a mercenary regiment amongst the chaos called Bloodthirsty.

Over the past 20 years, Bloodthirsty Mercenary became the third-largest mercenary in the global underworld

There were three main reasons why Somerland valued Justin so much.

First of all, Justin was strong and was already at the peak of Dragon Rank. Even if Lucas and Leeman joined hands, they were not his opponent.

Secondly, he was extremely powerful. He controlled Bloodthirsty Mercenary, the third-largest mercenary in the global underworld. It had tens of thousands of members and was well armed. Thirdly and most importantly, the Bloodthirsty Mercenary Justin controlled was on Dark Cape -strategically located on Somerland’s border with Falconia.

Although Dark Cape was only a small area, it was an important strategic location for both Somerland and Falconia.

Both Somerland and Falconia would put the other on the defensive if the other took control of Dark Cape.

The areas bordering the two countries were covered with virgin forests, except for Dark Cape. Besides that, the magnetic field inside the area was hundreds, or even thousands of times, stronger than outside.

All communications equipment would be destroyed in this place. Planes could not fly, and missiles could not launch as they would be disturbed electromagnetically and become disoriented once inside.

The only way to get to the other side of these connecting virgin forests was on foot without any electronic devices.

Dark Cape was the only place not disturbed by the magnetic field, so it was important to both countries.

Once controlled by one party, it was like putting a knife to the other’s neck.

Supposedly, no matter how good Justin was and how tough Bloodthirsty Mercenary was, it was a far cry from Somerland and Falconia.

The reason why he could occupy Dark Cape was he had found a balance between the two empires. Neither Somerland nor Falconia would allow the other to control Dark Cape, which gave a third party like him a chance.

Justin was Joseph’s son after all, and he was adored by the latter. Without Joseph, Justin would have been caught by Special Task Force by now.

Therefore, he would never sit idly by if something happened to the Chasez family. If David killed the Chasez brothers and destroyed the Chasez family, Justin would join Falconia’s side, and Somerland would be the one on the defensive.

Somerland would take the lead in attacking Falconia and not give Falconia a chance to deploy i n Dark Cape. If this were to happen, there was no telling how many other elites and pillars of the country would be killed. It was something Somerland did not want to see and was determined not to let happen.

It was why Lucas rushed over to stop David. If the Chasez brothers died today, they would have problems for a while.

The period of peace that had appeared after so long was about to be shattered.

David listened to Lucas’s explanation. He did not pay much attention to the rest, except for a few points.

Justin was a member of the Chasez family, at the apex of Dragon Rank, who controlled the thirdlargest mercenary in the global underworld and occupied Dark Cape—an important geographical position.

To get rid of the Chasez family, he had to get rid of Justin first. Otherwise, both Falcon and Special Task Force would stop him.

He was still not strong enough!

If he was strong enough, he could kill Justin and then the Chasez family.

However, Justin’s ability to control the Dark Cape intimidated both empires. He was not a normal character.

What could he do?

He was determined to destroy the Chasez family!

However, he needed to find a way to destroy Justin and Bloodthirsty Mercenary first.

“Captain! I want to see the difference between us!” David said suddenly.

At this moment, his energy suddenly exploded and his body appeared in front of Lucas.
