Chapter 481

David continued to stay in Capital city for a few days.

Aside from talking to Hugo, the head of East League Capitals in Capital City, about the investment direction of East League Capitals and urging him to speed up their progress, David would spend almost all of his remaining time with Celia.

Blue Enchantress had also been secretly protecting Celia, but as soon as David appeared, she would automatically disappear.

On this day, David was eating with Celia when he received several messages that caught his attention. The boy named Sawyer, who took his classmates to David’s penthouse for his birthday not long ago, had just returned to campus.

He was only locked up for a few days since his crimes did not involve the theft of any valuables and he was also still a university student.

of course, David did not want to do anything to him either. He just wanted to teach Sawyer a small lesson.

He could easily make Sawyer stay behind bars for a few years just by claiming that he lost something worth tens of thousands of dollars.

However, according to his observations, this kid would not just stay silent.

Once he went back to campus and found that the whole campus was talking about him, such a person who valued his dignity more than anything else would never accept reality.

David was also worried that Sawyer would do something drastic, so he quickly sent individual messages to ask the students to pay more attention to Sawyer, and if there was ever an emergency, that they must tell him immediately.

Just after sending the message, he received a phone call from an unfamiliar number. David looked at the number. ‘I don’t know this number.’ However, he still answered.

“Hello?”

“Are you David Lidell?” A female voice asked.

“Yes, I’m David! May I ask who you are?”

“I’m Elsa. Did you forget me? You said you’ll write a song for me but it’s been so long and it’s not done yet.” Elsa asked.

David was stunned.

He remembered who this person was.

He did say this to her back then, but he was just being polite!

He did not expect her to take this seriously.

‘This woman is a born socializer.’

“Hello, Miss Winters. I have not been free recently, so I’ll only write the song for you when I have time,” David said.

“When will you have time? I’ve been waiting all this while. I’m going to release a new album soon and I’ve recorded the rest of the songs. All I need now is a title song,” Elsa said.

“Miss Winters, I don’t think you should wait. I’m afraid that I will disappoint you. My ability to write songs is only average, and with your identity, as long as you say something, I’m sure many excellent songwriters and composers will be willing to write for you.”

“No, I only want your song. I think your writing is great. How about ten days? I’ll call you again in ten days. It’s settled then. I’ll wait for your good news, bye!” Elsa hung up without waiting for David to speak.

David was speechless when he heard the dial tone on the phone.

“What’s wrong? David?” Celia asked, looking up.

“It’s nothing. It’s from Empress Elsa Winters. Remember how I casually promised her that I’d write a song for her last time? Now she says she’s going to release an album and she wants to use the song I write as the title song.”

“Really?” Celia placed the fork down and asked excitedly while looking at David.

“Why are you so excited?” David asked, confused.

“I love Elsa, so of course, I’m excited that I can hear her singing a song you wrote.” “I haven’t started writing,” David said, feeling a little helpless.

“Hurry up then! When it’s released, I’ll definitely buy many copies of them for keepsake,” Celia said joyfully.

“Alright, I’ll make time to write one then.”

As David and Celia were discussing this, inside a luxurious villa in Capital City.

Elsa just ended her call with David when a woman in her thirties or forties said, “Miss, shouldn’t it be easy for you to ask for a song? If you just say the word, you’ll be able to choose from among the most exceptional composers and songwriters in the world.”

Chapter 482

“Leah, David is no worse than those expert songwriters and composers. Although he has only composed two songs so far, both of them are instant classics, and they were written as per his circumstances at the time.”

“Even so, it’s not worth so much of your attention. You’re…”

“Okay, Leah, I got it. You don’t have to keep reminding me. David is not an ordinary person either, and I’m just curious about him.”

“Yes, Miss.”

Elsa stopped talking.

She thought about the only two interactions she previously had with David.

Later, she also investigated David out of curiosity.

However, she could only find some superficial information. She could not get any details no matter how hard she looked, which was a bit strange.

Moreover, through her interactions with him, she could also feel that David was not anyone simple.

Women were curious creatures.

Besides, with Elsa’s current status, not many things could make her curious anymore.

Once something piqued her interest, she had to resolve her curiosity.

David returned to a house in Capital City.

‘Since Celia likes Elsa so much, then I’ll write a song.’ David started looking up Elsa’s profile on the web.

He needed to write songs based on Elsa’s previous genres.

Otherwise, if he wrote a ballad for someone who was doing hip-hop, it would feel a little bit incongruous.

Elsa Winters, the empress of love songs.

She debuted nearly ten years ago, and she was thirty years old this year.

She was not considered young anymore, and when he looked through the list of songs she had previously performed, he saw that they were all deep ballads.

It seemed that she had not tried other styles yet.

Hence, David knew what to do now.

‘Well then, let’s start writing!’

Sawyer was in a horrible mood today.

Even though he was mentally prepared, he still felt his face burning up when he felt the countless ridicule and disdainful gazes on him when he returned to campus.

When he entered the classroom.

“Hey, isn’t that Sawyer, the super-rich kid from our university? When are you taking us to your mansion?”

“Yeah, take us there so we can have a look. However, you have to find the right time. If not, it’ll be so embarrassing when the owner comes back again.”

“Haha… Pah! A kid from a rich family? Mother is the CEO of a listed company? She’s just a housekeeper who cleans houses!”

– “How embarrassing. Just own up if you’re poor. Why does he want to pretend to be rich? Now, the entire university knows about it. Sigh, if I were him, I’d just jump off from a building. How would I even dare to show my face around others?”

Sawyer could not handle such discussions about him. He ran off of campus before even finishing his lecture.

Then, he started wandering around the streets.

He wanted revenge.

Not only did he want to seek revenge against the person who exposed him, but he also would not forgive those people who defamed him on campus.

As for those students who looked at him with disdain in their eyes, he also wanted all of them to regret this too.

Now, his mind was getting increasingly messed up.

Whenever someone looked at him on the streets, he would think that they were mocking him, which caused him to badly want to go and slap them across the face.

He slowly formed an evil plan in his heart. He wanted to seek revenge against everyone…

Chapter 483

David wrote a song named Flower Woman that was more in line with Elsa’s temperament and the genre of her previous songs.

He was more than satisfied with the song.

At this moment, David could not stop himself from praising the power of the system. He was originally a person who had no knowledge of music, but ever since he started using lavish points to learn lyric writing and song composition, he had become very inspired to write songs and he was now completely proficient in music theory. This was incredible.

David felt that since he had been upgraded to a guardian, he could spend some lavish points to learn other skills like medicine or something similar.

These were lifesaving skills.

It would be best to learn the ancient traditional medicine of Somerland, which was also considered the essence of Somerland.

However, because Somerland once had a period of war, much of their traditions and heritage was lost.

Ancient traditional medicine was one of these lost arts.

There were very few ancient traditional medicine practitioners who had inherited real skills.

It was said that the ancient traditional medicine of Somerland was very powerful.

David looked at his system.

He already had 8564 points, and he would need a little more than 1000 points to reach 10000 points. After some contemplation, David added Somerland Ancient Traditional Medicine to the skills column to check it out.

Then, a window popped out of the system.

[Are you sure you want to learn Somerland Ancient Traditional Medicine? This will consume 1000 lavish points.]

“Damn!”

David almost started cursing.

Nowadays, it was becoming more and more tricky to learn new skills.

When he first started learning how to drive, write lyrics, compose songs, and the rest of the skills, he only needed to spend 10 lavish points.

Then, he spent 100 lavish points to learn Eight Extremities Fist.

Now, he needed 1000 lavish points to learn Somerland Ancient Traditional Medicine.

David was starting to wonder if the system was raising the price of the transaction.

Initially, he did not have many lavish points, so the system did not ask for much. Now that he had so many lavish points, it had also started to increase its prices.

‘Why don’t you just rob me directly?

‘Do you think it’s easy for me to earn lavish points?

‘It seems easy to others because it just requires one to spend money.

‘Who doesn’t know how to spend money?

‘It’s easy for you to spend three to five hundred million, or even one billion or eight billion. You can even spend tens of billions.

“Try spending a few trillion in a short period.’

If he did not improve his strength and status step by step, the current East League Capitals – would be nothing in the eyes of others.

At that time, he might get caught and questioned as others tried to find out where his money came from.

Only after one had an identity, status, and strength could one be befitting of the wealth they had. Otherwise, one would just be doing work for others with no benefit to oneself.

‘Forget it.

David finally decided not to learn Somerland Ancient Traditional Medicine for the time being.

1000 lavish points was way too expensive.

If he spent it now, it would take him another week to get it back

To the current David, strength was the foundation of everything. Only when his strength was upgraded could he do other things without any scruples.

He could also spend money more courageously and not worry about getting caught and being questioned.

After putting the song he had just written on the table, David was about to find a time to send the song to Elsa to end this matter so she would not call him again.

David did not have any ways to deal with a born socializer like Elsa.

He was a man, and it was not good for him to split hairs with her. After all, he promised Elsa before this, and the latter was also Celia’s idol.

The best course of action was to write a song to settle this matter once and for all.

The next day, David contacted Elsa and asked her to meet at a coffee shop.

Since a diva was involved in this matter, David chose a hidden private room to prevent Elsa from being recognized in the lobby and causing unnecessary trouble.

Empress Elsa’s fame was no joke. It would be huge if a scandal broke out.

Not long after David arrived, Elsa came in with a hat and a pair of sunglasses covering half of her face. “Miss Winters, please take a seat. I don’t know what you like to drink, so I just ordered something at random. If you don’t like it, you can change it,” David said politely.

After Elsa came in, she closed the door, walked over to David, and sat down. After that, she took off her hat and sunglasses.

– “Mr. Lidell, you’re being too formal. Just call me Elsa. I can drink anything,” Elsa said with a

. smile.

David looked at Elsa, who was seated in front of him. This was the first time he had looked at Elsa carefully.

She had a beautiful heart-shaped face and had light makeup on.

There was a smile on the corner of her mouth which was refreshing to look at.

She was an empress indeed. She vividly displayed the charm of a mature woman.

No wonder she was so sought after.

She was the type that would enchant both the old and the young.

Although they had met twice, it was at the banquet and there were a lot of people around. Therefore, David could not look at Elsa carefully, plus his attention was not on Elsa at that time.

When he was still in school, Empress Elsa’s name was already a hot topic on campus.

However, at that time he was so busy with life that he did not have time to pay attention to these things.

He did not follow celebrities, nor did he time or money to do so.

David was very shocked now that he was looking at Elsa up close.

Empress Elsa was a Dragon Ranker.

Despite how good she was at hiding it, how would she get away from the detection of David’s strong mind power?

In reality, if David used some of his mind power to detect it when they met last time out, he would have discovered this sooner. However, he was just not paying attention at the time.

Besides, who would expect a diva to be a Dragon Ranker?

Even if you were a star and you were so famous that your fame was known all over the world, your status would still be far inferior to that of a Dragon Ranker.

This was the essential difference.

It seemed that Elsa was not simple person either.

Being a star might just be her little hobby.

It was impossible for such a person to not have a powerful family behind her.

“Miss Winters, I’ve already written the song. The main reason I called you here today is to give it to you,” David said.

“Mr. Lidell, I’m so sorry, it’s just that I really like your songs. Coincidentally, I’m going to release an album soon, so that’s why I’m rushing you,” Elsa said apologetically.

“It’s okay. Since I promised you, I should do it. It’s just that I was busy during this time so it was a bit delayed. I happened to have some inspiration yesterday, so I wrote it then. I hope you’ll be happy with this.”

David said as he handed a playlist entitled Flower Woman to Elsa.

After Elsa took it over, she started looking through it.

‘Flower Woman?’

Elsa’s eyes lit up when she saw the name. Then, she started humming as it played.

Chapter 484

After the song ended, Elsa hummed along to it one more time.

It sounded so good.

She loved it!

This was a song that was tailor-made just for her.

Elsa had been very fond of music ever since she was a child. Furthermore, she was also very talented at this.

After she grew up, despite the opposition of her family, she embarked on the path of music.

As the eldest daughter of the Winters family, she did not have the right to make her own choices. Everyone knew that Elsa was not only very talented in music, but was also terrifyingly strong in martial arts.

She was undoubtedly the first among her generation that was worthy of the Winter family name.

Now, her family had no choice but to agree to her following her music career.

However, there was one condition, and it was that she had to go home to take a test every year. If she met the standards of the test, she could continue her career in music. If she failed, she had to give up her music and return home to concentrate on martial arts.

In the past ten years, Elsa managed to exceed all the expectations for the test.

With the support of her family, her music career was naturally smooth.

All the so-called bosses and investors who had no idea about her background and had untoward ideas about her would all be inexplicably ruined.

Over time, Elsa became a breath of fresh air in the entertainment industry.

Basically, she would be the one picking her songs and shows.

No one dared to force her to do anything.

The Winters family even bought the current company she was in.

Elsa loved the song Woman Flower. 1

The lyrics and music were all top-notch, and the most important thing was that they matched her temperament and performance style.

She was certainly right about David.

“Mr. Lidell, thank you. I love this song so much.”

“It’s good that you like it, Miss Winters. Right, after your album is released, can you give me some of your signed albums? My girlfriend loves your songs and she wants them as keepsakes.” “Of course! I’ll send them to you at once.”

“Thank you.”

The two then started chatting about some topics surrounding music.

Currently, David was an expert in music.

No matter what topic it was, he could chat happily with Elsa.

Elsa also became more and more interested in this man who knew so much about music theory at a young age.

From what she knew, David did not study music at all in school.

Just as David was about to think of an excuse to leave, his phone rang.

David took it out and looked at it.

It was from one of Sawyer’s classmates, so he quickly answered the phone.

“Boss, it’s Sawyer. He poisoned the food in the cafeteria and poisoned hundreds of people on campus. Now he is holding Zoey hostage on the rooftop and he’s going to jump off the building with her!” A female voice said nervously on the phone.

‘What?’

David was startled.

‘Hundreds of people were poisoned?

‘How is that possible?

‘Aren’t they on break now?’

“Aren’t you on break now? Is there no break for your campus?” David asked.

“Well, our campus contacted some movie sets, and after a few days, they’ll come here to pick some characters from among the student body here. The students here don’t want to miss out on this chance, so most of them are still hanging around. Hence, the university decided to continue classes.” “Alright, don’t panic yet. I’ll come over now.”

.

After David said that, he hung up the phone.

Then, he said to Elsa, “Miss Winters, I have an emergency and I need to leave now. Let’s talk when we have time.”

“Alright, go ahead if you’re busy, Mr. Lidell.” Elsa could tell that David was in a hurry.

David then drove to Multimedia University.

Hundreds of people were poisoned. This was troublesome.

Chapter 485

His suspicions were right.

This kid named Sawyer was a sociopath. He should not have been kind to him in the first nor give him a chance to reform.

Now, he could only hope that everyone was not too badly poisoned.

Otherwise, he would be largely responsible for this matter.

Although he was actually not at fault since he could not be held accountable at the end of the day, if dozens of people died, he probably would not be able to sleep peacefully for the rest of his life.

He could stop it anymore as the matter had escalated to this stage.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the Multimedia University, he saw countless ambulances coming out of the campus. Most of them were taking the poisoneď students and teachers to the hospital.

There were several police cars parked nearby as well.

The entrance of the Multimedia University had been cordoned off and they were most likely preventing people from going in.

Many reporters from different channels were stopped outside the gate.

David parked the car on the side of the road. Then, he found a hidden spot and looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to him. After that, he jumped into the campus of the Multimedia University.

After he entered the campus, David followed the voices.

Soon he saw two figures standing on top of a teaching block

Meanwhile, thousands of teachers and students were surrounding the bottom of the block.

There were some firefighters and police around too.

David hurried over and stood below to look at the two people on the roof.

One of them was Sawyer and the other was that cute girl whom David remembered, named Zoey. At this time, Sawyer was standing on the edge of the top floor, with the edge of the building being just one step behind him. He had Zoey’s neck in his left hand and a dagger in his right hand.

Right now, there should have been a negotiator on the roof talking to Sawyer.

Sawyer seemed to be very emotional.

He was still backing up and one of his legs was already dangling from the building, causing the thousands of teachers and students below to scream.

However, Sawyer retracted his leg again.

David wanted to go up to take a look, but he was worried that Sawyer would jump down with the girl while he was making his way upstairs.

Therefore, he figured he should just wait down here.

If they fell, he could still save them.

Even though Sawyer should die a thousand deaths, that girl was innocent.

The scene was chaotic, and everyone was discussing among themselves.

“It won’t be a pity if Sawyer dies. He poisoned so many classmates and teachers who ate in the cafeteria. I wonder how they are now.”

The two students in front of David were talking.

“They should be fine, right? Why do you think Sawyer did this? Is it because he was pursuing Zoey and was rejected? Is that why he wants to take revenge on all the teachers and students on campus?” “You do not know?”

“What should I know? I went home a few days ago and I just came back today to prepare myself for the casting.”

“No wonder you don’t know, it’s all over the campus these days. Sawyer has always given off the image of a rich kid on campus since he often posts luxury cars and mansions on his social media. However, those are all fake. He’s actually just a pauper!”

“Tell me what happened! Hurry!” The student also showed great interest when he heard this kind of gossip

“I think it was Sawyer’s birthday a few days ago, so he took some of his classmates to his house in Sky Court Residential Area not far away from the school. It is indeed a first-class mansion with a unit value of over 100 million. However, halfway through the party, the owner of the house came back. After some investigation, it was discovered that Sawyer’s mother is a housekeeper from a housekeeping company and Sawyer got the keys from his mother, snuck into someone else’s mansion, and told everyone that it was his.”

“Really? How insane! Sawyer is such a weirdo.”

“He’s not just a weirdo. I think he has a few screws loose. In the end, the owner of the house didn’t even pursue the matter, so Sawyer was only locked up for a few days. However, the moment he was let out, he did this. Say, is this something a normal person could do?”

“It must be because everyone found out his true identity after he came back. He couldn’t maintain his rich kid image so in the end, he wants to seek revenge on everyone.”

“He’s the kind of extreme person who should be locked up forever. He should never be let out.”

“He poisoned so many people this time. If he doesn’t die, I think he won’t even be let out in his next life.”

David was eavesdropping on their conversation, but his eyes were fixed on the two people on the roof.

If they fell from the building, he would save them even if he had to expose his strength.

Chapter 486

David was below the building, staring at the two people on the roof.

At this time, a large number of people came through the gates of the campus. “Make way! Sawyer’s parents are here, let them go up to talk to him.”

Everyone gave way as a few police officer hurried upstairs with Sawyer’s parents.

David looked at the people who went up.

If Sawyer’s parents went up at this time, they might trigger Sawyer even more because the people Sawyer did not want to see the most right now were his parents.

However, David did not stop them either. It would be better for them to jump down as soon as possible, so as not to waste his time here. After saving them, he would go to the hospital to see how the poisoned students were doing.

If it were not for the fact that there were too many people at the scene and he did not want to scare everyone, David would have flown up to save them.

Sure enough, after Sawyer’s parents went upstairs, within a few minutes, Sawyer started to lose control of his emotions.

After only hesitating for more than ten seconds, he jumped down along with Zoey… “Sawyer, no!” A middle-aged woman on the roof let out a distraught scream. David was ready below the building.

He went to the place where the two were falling toward at the fastest speed.

Just when Sawyer and Zoey were about to hit the ground, they were caught in each of David’s hands. Although the two jumped from the roof dozens of meters high and the impact was great, for David, who was halfway to God Rank, it was nothing.

David was holding one person in each hand.

Zoey had fainted from fright.

Although Sawyer was still conscious, he did not react for a while.

All the onlookers were stunned when they saw this scene.

This was against everything they had ever known.

How could one person catch two adults who jumped from the top of the seventh floor?

They were all university students and teachers.

Although they were in a media university and they were not majoring in physics, fools could be admitted to the university.

How strong was the impact of an adult jumping from the seventh floor?

Who would dare to catch them with their bare hands?

There was a news report last time about a two or three-year-old baby falling from the fifth floor and being caught by an adult man downstairs. In the end, the man dislocated his hands catching the baby.

This was serious enough, let alone catching an adult.

Anyone who dared to catch an adult would definitely be crushed to death, and there was no possibility of an alternative outcome.

Despite this, David caught two adults in each of his hands, and from the looks of it, it seemed easy to him.

‘Is that a normal f*cking person?

‘How incredible!

“That is Superman!’

The police were the first to react. They hurriedly stepped forward and tackled Sawyer to the ground before putting him in handcuffs.

Sawyer was now the main suspect of a serious crime.

Poisoning hundreds of people on campus was a felony.

Sawyer did not resist at all.

He might not have come back to his senses yet or he could have felt like he had already died once.

After this, two medical staff stepped forward and took Zoey from David’s hand before putting her on a stretcher and carrying her away.

“Thank you so much. Are you… Are you all right?” A police officer looked at David and asked. It was the first time he had encountered such a thing after being a police officer for so many years.

Even so, obviously, his level of acceptance was much higher than these students.

“I’m fine. I work out a lot so I’m in good shape,” David said with a smile.

At the same time, he moved his hands a few times to show him.

The police officer looked at David carefully and realized that he was indeed fine.

He patted David on the shoulder and said, “Young man, you’re not bad. You’re so talented, but next time, you should be mindful to your own safety and only help others while ensuring your own safety.”

Chapter 487

“I understand. Officer, I want to ask what happened to the poisoned teachers and students? Are their lives in danger?” David asked.

What he was most worried about right now was these poisoned people.

“I’m not sure, but it seems they are in pretty serious condition. Many people were already in a coma when they were sent to the hospital. I don’t know the specifics, so we have to wait for news from the hospital.”

“Which hospital are they in?” David asked again.

“Since there are so many people, one hospital can’t handle all of them so they are in Champion Hospital,

Deux Hospital, and Tres Hospital.”

“Thank you, Officer!”

“Kid, you haven’t graduated yet, have you?”

“Yes, I’m going to be a senior soon.”

“What are you going to do after graduation?”

“Uh… I haven’t thought about it yet.”

“If you want to work in my line of work after graduation, you can just come to me. You are very talented and I am very optimistic about you.” The police officer patted David on the shoulder again.

He was very optimistic about David.

David’s performance just now was that of a talented person. If he could get David to join him and cultivate him, David might have a promising future. “Thank you, Officer, I’ll come to you if I need it.” “Team, dismissed!” The police officer shouted.

Then, he left with his subordinates and Sawyer.

He was in a hurry to go back to interrogate Sawyer to see what kind of poison he used, where he got it from, and what was the motive for the poisoning.

However, no matter what the result was, Sawyer’s life was doomed.

As for whether he would get life imprisonment or the death penalty, it depended on whether any of these victims died.

It would be great if they were rescued, but the moment someone died from the poisoning, Sawyer not dying from the fall would be considered a delay to his inevitable death.

As soon as the police left, the scene immediately became lively.

“Damn, hero, you are too amazing. How did you do that? Can you teach me?”

“Hero, please allow me to worship you! You will be my master from today.”

“Hero, I want you to be my master too!”

“Hero, I want you to be my master too!”

Countless students from the Multimedia University gathered around David and asked for David to be their master.

David was too amazing just now.

He just caught two adults who jumped off the seventh floor with his bare hands. Even so, nothing happened to him.

Master!

He was definitely a master!

Luckily, the reporters from various media channels were stopped outside the gates.

If that scene was captured by them and was broadcasted or uploaded to the Internet, it would be hard for David to avoid going viral.

When he saw a lot of students surrounding him, David had no choice. He could only use some of his strength to flee quickly.

If not, it would be hard for him to escape if he was trapped.

“Where is the hero? Why is he missing?” The first student to get to the spot where David was previously standing asked.

The students that were crowding around started looking as well.

‘Where is he?

‘Damn, he’s missing!

‘How is that possible?

‘So many eyes were on him!’

“Did we really come across a master? He’s even more amazing than the characters in a martial arts novel. He suddenly disappeared when so many people were watching him.”

“Go find where he is. I want him as my master. I want to be a master too. I want to be chivalrous!” “I have to make him my master. I want to be a wandering hero!” The scene was very chaotic and everyone was looking for David.

However, by now, David had already gotten into his car and was driving to Champion Hospital.

Chapter 488

David drove to the Capital City Champion Hospital.

The entrance of the hospital was also very lively now.

Countless reporters and onlookers crowded the door waiting for the result as dozens of security guards blocked them.

Hundreds of students from Multimedia University had been poisoned. This was a big event, hence everyone wanted to get first-hand information.

David once again found a hidden spot and went straight to the second floor.

After searching the hospital for a long time, he finally found the place where the poisoned students were located.

At this moment, the deans, professors, and experts of Capital City Champion Hospital were gathered for a meeting.

They were given a briefing by Otto Swanson, the deputy chief of the health department in Capital City. Hundreds of university students had been poisoned. If they failed to handle such a huge case properly, it would cause social unrest and these people would be held responsible.

“Dean Griffin, you have to guarantee the safety of the students. I don’t care what method you use.”

“Of course, Deputy Chief Swanson, please be rest assured, we will try our best,” Dean Griffin said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

“Not try, you have to,”Otto said again in a more serious tone.

“Of course, we will.”

“Okay, let’s go see the students,” Otto said.

“Deputy Chief Swanson, have you caught the student who poisoned everyone?” Dean Griffin asked.

“I just got the news that he’s been caught,” Otto said.

“Ask him what kind of poison he used. We’ll be able to prescribe the right medicine if we know what poison he used.”

“They didn’t get anything from him. The perpetrator has lost his mind and he refuses to say anything.

There is nothing we can do.”

“What… What should we do then? If we can’t determine the poison, we can only run through a checklist which will take up more time. The longer we take, the more dangerous it will be to the victims,” Dean Griffin said anxiously.

“Go through the checklist at once. I’ll urge them again to see if they can get anything,” Otto said.

“Yes!”

Dean Griffin and the rest of the professors and experts quickly left the meeting room.

After that, Otto paced back and forth in the meeting room.

At this time, he was more anxious than anyone else.

After some contemplation, he decided to go see the victims in person.

David spoke to many doctors and nurses at the scene, but they had not found out what the victims had been poisoned with.

So, they could only perform some conventional treatments.

Many people soon started to fall into a coma.

Hence, David hurriedly stepped forward to check on a student who was in a deep coma. Using his strong mind power, he could feel the student’s weak heartbeat. It felt like a candle in the wind and rain that might go out at any time.

“This is bad!

“Who are you? What are you doing here?” David turned his head, just in time to see Dean Griffin arriving with a group of experts and professors.

“I am their classmate. The chancellor asked me to check on everyone’s situation,” David replied. “Nonsense, get out now. We’ll inform your university when the results come out. Your chancellor is also one to blame. It’s the holidays so why are the classes still ongoing? Great, everyone’s life is difficult now,” Dean Griffin complained.

“I’m a medical student so I can help,” David said.

“You’re studying medicine?”

“Well, I know traditional medicine that’s been handed down from generation to generation in my family.”,

“Alright, you can stay and help out.”

“Thank you, Doctor!”

“That’s the dean,” someone next to him said.

“Thank you, Dean!”

Dean Griffin ignored David and started looking at everyone’s symptoms.

The professors and experts behind him also started to scatter and observe the symptoms of the victims. “Dean, bad news! This victim’s heartbeat is very weak. I don’t think he will be able to hold on any longer!”

Dean Griffin, the experts, and the professors rushed over. David followed behind them too.

After some examination.

“Tell me what you think,” Dean Griffin said.

“Dean, we can’t confirm what poison is, so we can’t give our opinions.”

“Yeah, Dean. There is still no news from the laboratory. There are too many poisons that can cause this kind of symptom and we dare not give out opinions casually. If we make a mistake, it’ll be fatal.” “What did the lab say?”

“Dean, it’s still not confirmed yet and they’re still investigating,” someone next to him replied. “Everyone, you just heard what Deputy Chief Swanson said, right? We must guarantee the safety of the students, otherwise, everyone will have a difficult time in the future.” ‘Um…’

The experts and professors looked at each other, feeling a little helpless.

David watched from behind as the top professors in these hospitals struggled to come up with a solution. There was nothing they could do.

He could not just stand idly by and watch these students die!

He looked at the 8678 lavish points on his system pane before gritting his teeth and closing his eyes. Then, he added Somerland Ancient Traditional Medicine to the skills column.

Soon, a pop-up window appeared.

(Are you sure you want to learn Somerland Ancient Traditional Medicine? This will consume 1000 lavish points.)

‘Confirm!

David clicked without hesitation.

His lavish points dropped from 8678 to 7678.

After this, David felt a lot of knowledge regarding ancient traditional medicine fill his mind, as well as the identification methods and medicinal functions of countless herbs.

Furthermore, he also learned what kind of medicinal effects would be produced by the combination of various herbs.

Some were used for healing while some combinations were harmful. However, he seemed to not have clinical poison identification!

He only knew how to differentiate some simple symptoms.

‘What the f*ck is this?

‘Is the level of my skill not enough?’

– David glanced at the Somerland Ancient Traditional Medicine skill in the system. Sure enough, he was just entry-level at this skill.

‘F*ck!’

David could not stop himself from cursing at this moment.

He spent 1000 lavish points just to get an entry-level skill.

David had no choice but to upgrade it.

[Are you sure you want to upgrade Somerland Ancient Traditional Medicine? This upgrade will consume 1000 lavish points.]

‘Another thousand lavish points.

‘Why don’t you just rob me?’

As David scolded, he clicked the button.

‘Confirm!

He consumed another 1000 lavish points.

His lavish points dropped from 7678 points down to 6678 points.

David’s heart was in excruciating pain when he looked at the lavish points that he spent.

The skill Somerland Ancient Traditional Medicine on the system panel had been upgraded from Entrylevel to Expert.

David felt a lot of knowledge fill his mind again.

This time, he saw that there was finally a subject called clinical poison identification.

Chapter 489

All kinds of poisoning symptoms were imprinted in David’s mind, and he finally knew how to go about this.

He parted the crowd and walked to the front.

“Dean, let me take a look,” David said.

“You?”

Dean Griffin looked at David.

“My family has been practicing traditional medicine for generations, so maybe I can see what’s wrong.” David said and began to examine the critically ill patient.

After examining the patient’s entire body, David had an answer in his heart.

“Dean, these people are suffering from arsenic poisoning,” David said confidently.

“Arsenic?”.

“The scientific name is arsenic trioxide poisoning,” David explained it in modern scientific terms.

“Arsenic poisoning? Tell the laboratory to check for arsenic poisoning,” Dean Griffin said immediately.

“Yes, I’ll notify them right away,” someone replied.

“Dean Griffin, it should be arsenic poisoning. You can arrange for the treatment of this first, otherwise, the longer the delay, the more serious the poisoning will be.”

“Immediately prepare all kinds of medicines and equipment for arsenic poisoning. Once the laboratory confirms that it is arsenic poisoning, treat it immediately. Also, tell the laboratory to immediately pass the news to Deux and Tres Hospital once it’s confirmed.”

“Right away, Dean!”

While everyone was waiting anxiously, news finally came from the laboratory.

It was indeed arsenic poisoning.

The dean finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as the poisoning substance was identified, it would be easy to start treatment.

He immediately began to direct everyone to start treatment.

Modern medicine had already come up with a special drug for the treatment of arsenic poisoning Soon, several critically ill patients were treated, and their condition improved significantly. Their vital signs also gradually stabilized.

David felt relieved after seeing that.

After that, he quietly left the hospital.

Since there were experts and professionals around, he was not needed here.

Although he also had a treatment plan in his mind, since that traditional medicine was in decline, the hospital probably did not have a lot of the medicine he needed.

Thus, he did not tell them his plan.

After the matter was dealt with, David finally relaxed.

However, he was frustrated that it cost him 2000 lavish points.

If the system was alive, he seriously wanted to scold it.

That was such a trap.

Learning a skill and upgrading it had cost him 2000 lavish points.

He was about to break through his status of being halfway to the God Rank and finally become a God Rank guardian.

At that time, he would be regarded as one of the top people in the world today.

Looking at his pitiful 6678 lavish points, David wanted to cry but no tears came out.

He was now more than 3000 points away from 10000, and it would take him at least 20 days to reach it.

‘Ugh! I’m so sad!

David lamented how sad it was for him to spend 2000 lavish points.

Meanwhile, in Krum Mountain Range, one of the most mysterious mountain ranges in Somerland.

It was covered with magnetic fields more than centuries ago.

Neither planes nor satellites could detect this place.

In addition to that, a long-standing hidden sect-the Krums, was hiding here.

The Krums only accepted super talented people, and it was the elders in the sect who would often go out to find disciples.

Lorraine was a very talented disciple who was identified by the elders of the Krums when they had gone out in search of disciples.

Although Lorraine was frail and sickly since childhood, the elders of the Krums thought it was not because of a disease, but a unique physique.

Lorraine, who was brought back to Krum Mountain, fully recovered after more than ten years of cultivation in Krums Mountain. Gradually, she began to display the advantages of her unique physique.

Ten years ago, Lorraine went home.

This caused the competition between the first heirs of the two top elite aristocratic families in Capital City at that time, Stan of the Warners and Clinton of the Zimmerman family.

It caused the most dazzling duo of the younger generation in Capital City to turn against each other.

Lorraine was very patient, which was why she made a ten-year appointment with the two.

Although these two were the most dazzling among the younger generation in Capital City at that time, in Lorraine’s opinion, they could only be considered alright within the city. Furthermore, they still had a long way to go when compared to the entire country.

There were at least a handful of members in the Krums who could brush them aside.

Not to mention other hidden sects and families.

If they were to just look at Somerland, these two were undoubtedly people of limited outlook and experience.

The reason why Lorraine made the ten-year appointment was that the Lovewoods would not have been able to stand the pressure of two elite aristocratic families.

Now, the ten-year appointment was approaching.

Lorraine needed another trip home to settle this so-called ten-year appointment.

Otherwise, the Lovewoods would be sandwiched between the two elite aristocratic families and life would definitely not be easy for them.

Although she grew up in Krum Mountain from a young age, her parents were still in the Lovewood Manor after all.

It was not that they did not love Lorraine, on the contrary, they treated Lorraine like a gem when she was born.

However, the elders of the Krums promised the Lovewoods that in twenty years, they would return them a healthy and active Lorraine.

If Lorraine continued to stay in the Lovewoods without systematic treatment, she might not have even lived to be twenty years old.

For the sake of Lorraine’s body, the Lovewoods finally reluctantly decided to let the elders of the Krums take her back to Krum Mountain.

Lorraine was standing on a pavilion in Krum Mountain.

Her white outfit was fluttering in the wind like a fairy.

At the age of 30, she had the face of a 20-year-old as the years seem to have left no traces on her face. She had curves in all the right places, and her figure that fit the golden ratio completely displayed her maturity and plumpness to the extremes.

At the same time, one could feel the captivating etherealness that came from her.

Her skin was fair and supple.

If someone was watching her from a distance at this moment, they would surely exclaim, “She looks so much like a fairy who had walked out of a painting.”

It was true that the denser the magnetic field, the more it could delay aging.

Lorraine looked at the wonderland-like Krum Mountain ane felt a little lost.

She liked it here and she did not want to go back. However, she had no choice.

Her roots were with the Lovewoods, so she could not sit idly by. Plus, her master also said that the world was about to be in chaos, and all sects and families would come out of hiding.

The Krums were no exception.

She needed to go back to Capital City, join some families, and prepare for the Krums to come out of hiding.

This was the task given to her by the sect.

She also had to do it perfectly so she could live up to her teacher’s cultivation after so many years. While Lorraine was lost in thought, a voice sounded behind her.

“Lori, so you are here!”

Chapter 490

When Lorraine heard that voice, she knew who it was without turning around.

It was her senior, Fred East, a man that was loved by many.

Fred was different from her because he was not a disciple that was brought back by the elders of the Krums. Instead, he was born and grew up in Krum Mountain.

Not only did he look refined and elegant, but he was also extremely talented. Plus, he held a noble identity.

Only their senior, Grant, was superior to him in Krum Mountain.

“Freddy,” Lorraine called out softly, her voice mellow and melodious.

Fred stood behind Lorraine, his eyes infatuated as he looked at her back.

In his heart, this woman was the gift given to him by the heavens.

Even though this gift did not belong to him yet, he believed that sooner or later, he would completely have this gift to himself, and no one could stop him.

Not even Grant.

“Are you thinking about going home, Lori?” Fred walked up behind her and said.

“Yeah. I haven’t gone back in a decade, so I wonder about what had happened at home. I wonder if they still remember that I exist,” Lorraine said.

“Don’t worry, Lori. They would not forget you, they might have even been waiting for you to go back. Don’t worry, I’ll always stay with you. I’ve already asked for permission to go down the mountain with you,” Fred said.

“You want to go down the mountain with me?” Lorraine turned her head and asked Fred.

“Yeah, my grandpa has agreed!” Fred looked at Lorraine’s beautiful face and said a little excitedly.

“Isn’t Grant going with me?” Lorraine asked curiously.

“Grant is still going, but I’m going too. Both of us are going down the mountain with you.” “Oh!”

Lorraine did not speak after she replied. Then, she turned her head to continue to observe the scenery from far away that looked like a wonderland.

The mist was lingering around the towering mountains and precipitous ridges.

Fred did not speak anymore as he watched the scenery with Lorraine.

However, his mind was not on the scenery, but on the woman beside him.

No matter how breathtaking the scenery was, how could it compare to the woman beside him? Originally, Fred was not the one who was supposed to go down the mountain with her, but when he learned that Grant would go, he went to his grandfather, Norman East.

He asked his grandfather for permission to accompany Lorraine down the mountain and said he wanted to see the outside world.

He could not leave Grant alone with Lorraine. Although there would be other elders following them, it would still be dangerous.

In his opinion, Grant was his biggest obstacle when it came to Lorraine..

He could never give them a chance to be alone.

Meanwhile, his grandfather, Norman, was the senior elder in the Krums that second only to the head.

After Fred’s endless pestering, his grandfather had no choice but to agree to let him go. – Besides, in Norman’s opinion, the hidden sects and families were coming out of hiding soon and it would be better for Fred to go out early to see and experience it.

“Freddy, how many sects like ours are there in this world?” Lorraine asked.

“According to my grandfather, there are quite a few hidden sects and families like ours. He didn’t say how many, but the Krums are the top existence among the hidden sects,” Fred said.

“Then why did these sects and families hide from the world?”

“I heard that it was to avoid calamity. Some of them wanted to go out and occupy a place in this world, but they basically disappeared in the dust of history. Thus, it seems that staying hidden back then was indeed the best way to preserve strength.”

“I see, so when everyone comes out of hiding this time, will many hidden sects and families disappear into the annals of history?”

“Maybe, but don’t worry, Lori. The Krums have always been one of the top forces, and this has stayed true over time. We will only grow stronger and stronger. Those who disappear are the weak ones.” “Just like how the weak are prey to the strong, right?” Lorraine murmured.

“Exactly, just like how the weak are prey to the strong. This will always be the unchanging truth, just like how the Krums will always be the strongest party,” Fred said confidently.

At this time, a voice sounded from below. “Freddy, Lori, the head of the sect is summoning us!” “Freddy, let’s go!”
