Chapter 491
After Lorraine finished speaking, she jumped lightly, her body floating down the pavilion like a piece of cotton
Fred also jumped down.
The pavilion where the two wete located was at least six or seven stories above the ground. However, when the two landed, they did not even make a sound, which was enough to prove their strength.
“Freddy, Lori.”
When he saw the two come down from the pavilion, the 20-year-old cloaked young man on the ground bowed and greeted respectfully.
At the same time, his eyes were full of envy.
“Come on,” Fred said.
“After you, Freddy, Lori,” the cloaked young man bowed and said respectfully.
The status of these two was abnormally high within the Krums.
One was the grandson of the senior elder, while one was the direct disciple of the third elder.
They were both top-notch talents in their generation.
When Fred and Lorraine walked in front of the cloaked young man, he eventually straightened up and followed behind them.
As he looked at Lorraine’s back, the cloaked young man’s face was full of admiration.
There was no one in this generation of the Krums who did not admire Lorraine.
Of course, they had another senior, Jacinta Baker, as well, and she was not bad either.
They walked all the way to Krum Hall.
The cloaked young man who followed behind them stopped outside long ago. It was because he could not go in without the head of the sect summoning him.
In the spacious and quaint hall, there was an old man with a youthful appearance and white hair on the main seat.
Below him was a man in his thirties.
This man is wearing a green shirt and was carrying a sword on his back.
When he heard Fred and Lorraine’s footsteps, he turned around.
Beauty in the high places was unparalleled indeed. The beauty of this man was unmatched in the world. This man was not inferior to Fred in any aspect.
He was the senior of the Krums-Grant Stone.
In addition, he was also the direct disciple of the head of the Krums. At the same time, he was also the most powerful person in their generation.
Of course, Fred always refused to accept this. It was because he was a few years younger than Grant and he thought that he would definitely be stronger than Grant when he reached his age.
“Disciple Fred is here to see you, Head! Greetings, Grant,” Fred said respectfully while bending his waits. Even though his status was pretty high in the Krums, he still had to bow and greet these two when he met them.
“Disciple Lorraine is here to see you, head! Greetings, Grant,” Lorraine bowed and said in an equally respectful manner.
“The reason I summoned the three of you is to tell you that it’s time for Lovewood to go home. Coincidentally, our sect has decided to come out of hiding too. So, you two should go back with Lovewood and make preparations for us to resurface,” said the head of the sect.
“Yes, Head!”
“Yes, Head!”
“Yes, Teacher!”
The three replied at the same time.
“Alright, go back and make preparations. You’ll leave in three days. The seventh elder and ! ninth elder will also go with you. The purpose of your trip this time is to make the name of the Krums well-known to the others.” “Yes, Head!”
“Yes, Head!”
“Yes, Teacher!” After the three finished talking, they left the hall.
Chapter 492
David was looking at his lavish points every day.
He finally accumulated enough lavish points to break through and then it dropped by another 2000 points, so one could only imagine his mood at this moment.
After three days, his lavish points finally broke through the 7000 mark, reaching more than 7100. This could be regarded as some relief for his depressed mood.
At this time David received a call from Julia.
“David, my great-grandpa wants to see you!” Julia cried on the phone.
David was stunned for a moment, he felt that this matter might be a little serious. Thus, he quickly replied, “Alright, I’ll be there right away.”
David was surprised when he saw Mason again because Mason looked even older now.
The inevitable aura of death was becoming increasingly obvious.
At first, David wondered if it was because he had learned Somerland Ancient Traditional Medicine.
However, as soon as Mason opened his mouth, he disregarded that thought.
Mason was indeed reaching his limit because he evidently could not speak with the strength he once had.
“David, cough… I might not be able to make it to the one-year deadline I told you last time. I need you to take care of Somerland for me next, but I don’t think they will take action for the time being,” Mason said weakly.
Last time, he told David that he had one more year to live and that he could help him hold on for another year. However, from the looks of it, it now seemed impossible.
“What happened? It’s only been a few days. Why did this happen all of a sudden? Wasn’t he fine last time?” David asked Julia.
Julia said through tears, “Grandpa fought with some people a few days ago. He fought nine God Rank guardians headed by Falconia all by himself. Four of them were seriously injured, four were slightly injured, and one of them died.”
“What?’
David shuddered and looked at Mason blankly.
He fought nine God Rank guardians all by himself?
Four were seriously injured, four were slightly injured, and one even died?
T-This result was going to go against the laws of nature!
He originally thought that when he reached the level of God Rank guardian, everyone would be about the same.
However, Julia’s words just now subverted his imagination.
Mason fought nine God Rank guardians alone and was even able to kill one person, seriously injure four people, and injure the remaining four.
This showed that even if they were all God Rank guardians, the gap between them would still be huge.
He thought that once he broke through to become a God Rank guardian, he could rest easy.
However, it seemed he was still miles away.
At the very least, he had to upgrade his physique and mind power to the limit of God Rank just to have peace of mind.
At this moment, David felt a strong sense of urgency.
At the same time, he had a question in his heart.
“Where do so many God Rank guardians come from? Aren’t there only five of them in Falconia?” David asked in confusion after he recovered from the shock.
“Let me answer this question for you,” Mason said.
“Although there are only five God Rank guardians in Falconia, there are three ancient families behind Falconia. These three families are very mysterious and have existed for hundreds of thousands of years. We know very little about them, and this time, it is not only Falconia, several other forces are taking action. The Haran family, who I banished from Somerland decades ago is also taking action now. “The three masked peak Dragon Rankers you brought back are from the Haran family. They were one of the oldest families in Somerland. However, when Somerland was in chaos decades ago, they wanted to take over Somerland and make ordinary people their slaves. Thus, I banished them from Solermand. I didn’t think my compassion back then was returned with hatred. Now, they are helping our sworn enemy, Falconia, to attack Somerland. When Dirk was fighting Blaze, a God Rank guardian from Falconia, he was nearly critically injured because he was ambushed by people from the Haran Family.” ‘Dirk, the God of Military, was nearly critically injured because he was ambushed. “The people from the Haram family are everywhere!’
Chapter 493
Not only did they unite with the people of Falconia to attack old Master Stefani, but they also went after Dirk, the God of Military. Furthermore, the people from the Haran family had killed more than a dozen Somerland elites before David found them. ‘How many grievances were there?’ David did not understand.
After saying so much in one breath, Mason felt a little tired and started gasping violently.
Julia quickly took out the oxygen tube and let Mason have a few breaths.
“Great-grandpa, stop speaking,” Julia said with tears in her eyes.
David also felt a weight on his chest.
The legendary old man who once ruled the world and had fought nine God Rank guardians by himself not long ago was speaking with so much difficulty now.
“I’m fine.” Mason calmed down after taking a few breaths of oxygen.
“David, this battle was actually provoked by myself. The purpose was to send a message at the last moment to shock everyone who wants to attack Somerland. If it happened a year later, I estimate that I wouldn’t even have the energy to take action. Even if I die now, as long as we keep things quiet, they would not dare to strike again in such a short time.”
“Great-grandpa! You won’t die, you won’t!” Julia cried at one side.
Ever since David came in, Julia’s tears never stopped.
It could be seen that Julia had deep feelings for her great-grandfather.
“Old Master Stefani, is there really no way to save you? Isn’t the magnetic field able to delay aging now?
Is it not working for you now?” David asked.
“If it didn’t work, I’d already be buried in the ground. How can a normal person have a chance to live till my age? I’m not afraid of death, but right now, Somerland has both internal and external troubles, and Dirk and you still need time to grow. If I die and you have no other way, just stick to one side. Give up other parts of Somerland and leave some hope for the nation,” Mason said with a sigh.
David was observing Mason using the Somerland Ancient Traditional Medicine he had just learned. He thought that he had seen something, but it was a little vague and not very clear. “David, I’ll leave Julia to you from now on, I hope you treat her well.”
“Huh?”
David was busy observing Mason, so he was a little confused when he was interrupted by this statement.
“This is my only request as an old man who is about to die. I hope you can agree,” Mason said solemnly. David looked at Mason inexplicably.
‘What does it mean?
‘Is he asking me to marry Julia?
‘What the hell is this?’
He had a girlfriend and he still had not figured out what to do with Pearl.
Would it not be even messier if Julia was added into the mix?
“Old Master Stefani, um… I actually have a girlfriend,” David said.
Although he did not want to disappoint this old man who had dedicated his life to Somerland, but he had no other choice.
Otherwise, it was going to get messy.
Right now, two women were enough to give him a headache, so wouldn’t it be worse if Julia was also involved?
“It’s okay if you have a girlfriend. I’m not close-minded. Which of the capable people in ancient Somerland didn’t have multiple wives and mistresses? I just need you to promise me that you will treat Julia well in the future,” Mason said with a grin.
David had no idea what to say at this moment.
If everyone was as open-minded as he said, David would not have to struggle so much.
“Old Master Stefani, it’s not that I don’t want to promise you this, but I’m afraid that I won’t be able to handle the relationship between them,” David said with a wry smile.
“Don’t worry, Julia is not that kind of ignorant girl. As long as you agree, she will definitely handle the relationship with your girlfriend properly. Can’t you agree to the last request of a dying person?” ‘Um…’ David was speechless for a moment.
Chapter 494
David looked at the 7153 lavish points on his system panel with a wry smile.
He did not want to use it.
He wanted to accumulate it and break through to the God Rank as soon as possible to become a guardian.
That way, he would have some ability to defend himself.
Today’s society was too dangerous, so even a God Rank guardian was not invincible.
Mason killed one of them only a few days ago.
However, if he did not use it, his current knowledge level of Somerland Ancient Traditional Medicine would not be enough to determine Mason’s physical condition. He only had a vague idea of what was going on, but not the whole picture.
It was fine if he did not learn Somerland Ancient Traditional Medicine because he would not understand either way.
However, he now held half of the knowledge, so everything still appeared ambiguous to him. This was such a horrible feeling.
Moreover, Mason dedicated his life to Somerland, so even if there was only a slim chance, David would not stand idly by and watch this old man die. Not to mention Mason also wanted to entrust Julia to him.
If Mason was really dying, could he refuse the old man’s only request?
Afraid not!
David felt a headache coming when he thought about being entangled with three women at the time.
Therefore, it was best to upgrade Somerland Ancient Traditional Medicine to try to save Mason. Not only could it continue to protect the stability of Somerland but he could also flee from Mason’s last request.
It would be the best of both worlds.
However, he would need to consume his poor lavish points again.
David made up his mind that when he went back, he would directly give the heads of East League Capitals a death order. Everyone had to help him spend 200 billion within half a month, if they could not, they would be sacked.
He had to spend money wildly to get lavish points without caring about the cost now.
He could not worry about so many things now.
He would not care if he was exposed as long as he could become a God Rank guardian in a short period. If he could upgrade his physique and mind power to the limit of God Rank, even Mason not even be his opponent.
At that time, even if ten or twenty God Rank guardians came at him, they would only end up being tortured by him.
‘F*ck, I’ll just do this!
David gritted his teeth and continued to upgrade Somerland Ancient Traditional Medicine.
He spent 1000 lavish points again.
It dropped from 7153 points to 6153 points.
David was so heartbroken.
Somerland Ancient Traditional Medicine had been improved from expert to perfection.
Once again, David received countless pieces of knowledge about Somerland Ancient Traditional Medicine in a flash.
When he used the technique of Somerland Ancient Traditional Medicine again and looked at Mason, what he saw was completely different.
He could see Mason’s physical condition clearly at just a glance, and it was no longer vague and ambiguous as before.
Mason had indeed reached his limit, and the functions of various organs in his body had begun to seriously decline.
Within a month, Mason would pass away.
Now there was only one way to save Mason, and that was to combine the medicinal powers of more than ten kinds of treasures of heaven and earth to rejuvenate Mason’s decayed organs, thereby having the effect of prolonging his lifespan.
However, it would be extremely difficult to combine the medicinal power of several kinds of treasures of heaven and earth.
If it was not for David, who upgraded his knowledge of Somerland Ancient Traditional Medicine to perfection, no one in this world would have been able to do it.
The combination of drug effects was too complicated, and accurate to the unit of micrograms.
If there was even a little imbalance, all the medicinal effects would be disrupted and the effect would be greatly reduced.
By then, it would not have the effect of rejuvenating the various functions of the body, instead, it would only be regarded as a supplement at most.
David could do it now, but it still depended on whether he could find the dozens of these treasures of heaven and earth.
Chapter 495
If he could find them, Mason would have at least another five to ten years to live.
If he could not, then he would not be able to do anything.
It could only be said that Mason’s life was destined to end here.
He had done his best and the system was not omnipotent, so it could not pull the treasures of heaven and earth out of thin air.
“David, what do you think? Have you not figured it out yet? Can’t you agree to the last little request of a dying man? In truth, I can’t help it either, the world is about to be chaotic, so I just want to find a safe haven for Julia to spend the rest of her life in peace.
This is the only thing I, her great-grandpa, can do for her,” Mason said, looking a little desolate.
“Great-grandpa, I don’t want to leave you,” Julia cried.
“You silly girl, I can no longer protect you, so David is the best final destination for you.”
“Old Master Stefani, what if I said I could save you, but I still need something?” David asked suddenly. Upon hearing what David said, Mason and Julia were taken aback.
“David, stop joking with an old fart like me. If you really don’t want to, I can’t force you. I can only blame Julia for not being blessed that way. I know my body best. I’m not injured or sick, I’ve just reached the end of my life so no one can treat this,”
Mason said with a sigh.
He knew his situation well.
Many experts in the medical field had come to examine him, but no one could cure death and no one could escape from it.
Everyone would experience birth, old age, sickness, and death.
He could feel that he had less than a month left.
Mason did not believe what David said, but Julia next to him seemed to have grabbed ahold of this final straw.
“David, are you serious? Can you really save my great-grandpa?” Julia asked nervously.
She was afraid that it was just a hallucination and David would say no.
“Of course. I can save Old Master Stefani, but I still need some items,” David answered.
“What do you need? As long as they exist, I’ll definitely get them for you,” Julia asked.
“Thousand-year-old ginseng, thousand-year-old knotweed, thousand-year-old bracket fungus, snow lotus…” David listed out more than ten herbs.
Then, he said, “If they are all a thousand years old, then we can extend Old Master Stefani’s life by ten years. If you can’t find thousand-year-old herbs, 500 years is fine too, but it’ll only extend Old Master Stefani’s life by 5 years.”
“Okay, I’m going to look for it, I will definitely find the ones that are thousand years old, I will definitely be able to!” Julia said. When she was about to go out, Mason stopped her.
“Julia, wait a minute!”
“Great-grandpa, I’m going to find the herbs for you, I’ll definitely find them,” Julia said.
“You have nowhere to look now. Plus, these medicinal materials will not be sold on the market at all.”
“Then… What should I do?” Julia asked a little unwillingly.
“Wait until I make everything clear.” Mason looked at David after he said that. “David, can you really save me?” Mason asked seriously.
If he could continue to live, of course, he would be more than willing to.
It was not that he was afraid of death, on the contrary, it was because he wanted to continue to protect the land of Somerland.
If he could live another ten years…
By then, Dirk and David would be able to take the lead and Somerland would no longer be afraid of prying eyes from all sides.
“Yes, but I need the herbs I just mentioned,” David said.
“The herbs won’t be a problem. Are you confident in
this?”
“I am,” David answered firmly.
“Alright, I believe you. I hope you won’t disappoint me.”
“Don’t worry, Old Master Stefani. I would never joke about this kind of thing. However, I have to have all of the herbs. Just like you said, they might not be sold in the marketplace.”
“Even if they’re not sold on the market, I think some hidden sects and families should have them. Since they want to resurface, it’s normal to ask something from them as the official authority in Somerland,” Mason said confidently.
As the supreme ruler of Somerland, his confidence in this showcased his strength.
Moreover, he just fought nine God Rank guardians not long ago. With this result, no one would dare to cross him during this period.
Chapter 496
David went back to his residence and saw that he still had about 6000 lavish points left. He wanted to cry but he did not have any tears.
The collection of the herbs needed for Mason should still take some time, and only after he had everything could David start to prepare them.
With the knowledge of Somerland Ancient Traditional Medicine in his mind, since he was proficient in the medicinal properties of all these herbs, it was actually quite simple to prepare the medicine. The dosage needed to very precise, but if he got the dosage correct, there should be no problems.
His current focus should be on lavish points, so all he needed to do was to raise his lavish points to 10000 as soon as possible and then first break through the extraordinary limit of his physique. Otherwise, he would not feel safe doing anything now.
Mason killed one of the God Rank guardians.
That was to say, even if he entered the God Rank and became a guardian, he was still basically powerless to fight back when he encountered someone like Mason.
Who knew how many other powerful people were hidden in this world?
If it happened, wouldn’t his life be over? He might not even be able to flee.
Therefore, it was not enough to just become a God Rank guardian, he needed to continue to improve, while becoming a God Rank guardian was only the first step.
David could not think about anything else at this time.
He called Hugo, the head of East League Capitals in Capital City
“Hello, Mr. Lidell, how are you?” Hugo said respectfully on the phone.
“Hugo, tell all of the regional heads and project heads of East League Capitals that we’re having a video conference in an hour,” David said straightforwardly.
He needed to put some pressure on these people. After he heard those things Mason said, he felt very stressed too.
“Alright, Mr. Lidell. I’ll do it now.”
“Okay, I’ll be there in an hour.”
One hour later…
Inside the meeting room in the East League Capitals Capital City branch.
David was seated at the main seat.
The regional and project heads were all on the huge screen.
“Everyone’s here, Mr. Lidell,” Hugo said, standing at one side.
“Okay, start the video conference now.” “Alright,” Hugo replied.
Then, Hugo said to the big screen, “Hello, fellow colleagues, we’re hosting this video conference at the last minute today because the chairman wants to personally convey some instructions to everyone.
Everyone, please welcome Mr. David
Lidell, chairman of East League Capitals.”
There was a round of applause from everyone in the video.
David stood up and said to the big screen, “Today I called everyone to this last-minute video conference because I need to tell you all something. You just need to listen quietly, and you don’t need to talk.
“I’m very dissatisfied with the speed of development of the East League Capitals recently. Although we are very fast compared to other companies, it is still not enough, and it is far from my standards.”
Everyone was shocked when they heard what David said.
Originally, they were quite satisfied with the development of their respective sectors. They also thought that the chairman would praise them and they were wondering whether they would be able to receive more bonuses at the end of the year, but they did not expect this to happen.
The people came to the meeting did not expect such an outcome because the development of East League Capitals was indeed fast enough compared to other companies. They simply did not expect the boss’ standards to be so high.
Chapter 497
“Next, I hope you can pick up the pace and speed up our progress. Just do whatever is beneficial to the development of East League Capitals, I don’t care how much you spend and you don’t need to report to me. Of course, the company will also check the accounts in the end, so you’d better not engage in any crooked means, especially since I treat you pretty well.”
The reason why David said the last sentence was because once the money in his system was misappropriated by these people and was not spent on actual things, the system would judge it as a gift so his lavish points would not increase.
However, even David wanted to know how the system did it or how it came to the final judgment.
It was just that this was destined to be unanswered. “I hope to build East League Capitals into a world
class giant as soon as possible. The development of other companies is all about ctting costs, but I will never ask you to save money. Instead, I will only make you spend money like your life depends on it, which is also equivalent to giving you unlimited right to spend money. If you can’t do it well, it’ll prove that you don’t have the ability for the role.
“If you don’t have the ability, then I’ll just replace you with someone else, someone who has the ability, someone who can spend money, and someone who can quickly encourage the development of the company. Meanwhile, you can just watch as others receive huge salaries and bonuses, live in huge mansions, and drive luxury cars. I believe you are not willing to let that happen, right?
“If you encounter any invincible resistances in the process of the development, such as the obstruction and threat of some local forces, just report it to me directly and I will personally take care of it.
“After today’s meeting, I hope to see some changes in everyone’s behavior. The deadline for this will be in half a month, whereby I will observe everyone’s results. If you meet my expectations, you will get 5 times your annual bonus at the end of the year. If you don’t, I’ll just get someone else to replace you.” David’s words terrified the heads.
As far as they knew, the boss had never spoken in such a serious tone before. It seemed that the boss was really dissatisfied with everyone’s work during this period.
They also started to feel a strong sense of crisis.
They had gained the envy of many of their colleagues for being able to hold high-level positions in East League Capitals.
It was because the treatment at East League Capitals was extremely good.
It was so good that they did not even bother to take advantage of their work.
They would even be wary when others tried to take advantage of it.
The salaries and bonuses they normally received were more than five times that of some of their peers. Additionally, they even received huge bonuses at the end of the year.
Now, the boss even said that if his expectations were met, the huge bonus would be increased five fold.
Everyone was always full of energy working under such a boss.
They would get more money here in one year than they would working ten years in their previous companies.
If they were discovered to be pulling cheap tricks, they would be putting the cart before the horse. No one would be stupid enough to do this.
“Okay, that’s it for today’s meeting. Although my tone is a little heavy, it is also to spur you on so that East League Capitals can enjoy better development. I hope you don’t take it to heart. Work hard to get a good result in half a month so that you’ll get five times your initial bonus at the end of the year and go home to enjoy a good new year.” Clap clap clap clap clap!
A round of applause could be heard from the screen.
The video conference then ended.
David took a sip of his tea in the meeting room. He had said so many things in one breath and was parched.
Meanwhile, Hugo stood next to him quietly.
“Hugo, you heard what I said just now so I won’t repeat myself. I hope you can work hard. Capital City is the best platform available, and you have a far better starting position than them. I hope you won’t let me down.”
“I understand, Mr. Lidell. I’ll work hard to meet your expectations.”
“Alright, I’ll get going now. Continue to work hard. East League Capitals will not mistreat you in the future.”
“Yes, Mr. Liddell.”
Hugo walked David out of the front door of the East League Capitals Capital City branch respectfully.
Chapter 498
David left the East League Capitals Capital City branch.
The reason he started this video conference was not to build East League Capitals into a world-class giant as soon as possible as he claimed.
He simply wanted everyone to spend more money, so he could get more lavish points and improve his strength as soon as possible.
However, he could not tell them this because they would think that he had a few screws loose.
Therefore, he could only say that he hoped that the company would develop faster. If the company wanted to develop, it would naturally need to spend money.
Moreover, he had made it very clear that everyone had the right to spend unlimited money. He felt that these people should be able to understand him.
David left the meeting as if nothing had happened, but the whole of East League Capitals could be described to be in great disorder.
The boss set a deadline of half a month, whereupon he would check everyone’s results. If they did not meet the standard, they would be replaced. This was not a joke.
All regional and project heads were taking the lead in working overtime.
Although David just wanted to spend money and did not want to see any results, no one thought the same as him.
In other words, normal people would think this way?
What boss would only ask their employee to spend money and not pay attention to the result? How was this possible?
There was no such precedent.
They would only think that David wanted to see the results. However, if he wanted results, spending money was essential.
Thus, everyone was working overtime to over complete their tasks.
Even if they were not doing this for the five-fold bonus at the end of that year, they needed to at least keep their jobs.
Where would they find such a good job if they lost it?
It would be too late to regret by then.
It was only half a month, and it would be over if they clenched their teeth and endured it. After the video conference, the entire East League Capitals went into overdrive.
The heads worked overtime day and night and the people working below them could only follow and do the same.
No one wanted to lose their lucrative salary from East League Capitals.
The day after David’s meeting, the growth rate of his lavish points started to pick up a bit. It was not huge, but it was obviously much faster than before.
This showed that everyone understood what he said.
He believed that in the next period, his lavish points would grow rapidly.
This time, David was also throwing caution to the wind, and he was ready to muster up his courage to do this regardless if he was exposed.
He would improve his strength first.
When he entered God Rank and became a guardian, in addition to his status as a member of the Somerland Parliament, how many people would dare to do anything to him?
Furthermore, once Mason got all the herbs, he could keep Mason alive for another five to ten years.
With Mason, an extremely powerful person who fought against nine God Rank guardians alone, as his backer, he would not need to worry anymore.
Judging from Mason’s confidence, he should have no problems getting all of the herbs. Even if he could not find the ones that were a thousand years old, 500-year-old ones would do. At worst, he could still live for another five years. i
Five years!
David did not need that long either. According to his plan, he would be able to reach the double limit of God Rank in one year at most.
When that happened, he would be able to put his abilities to good use in this vast world.
Mason should not be his opponent at that time, but David wanted to see how it would feel to fight more than ten God Rank guardians at the same time alone.
How domineering would that be?!
Soon, a week had passed.
During this week, David would accompany Celia most of the time as he observed the growth of his lavish points on the side.
His lavish points were now approaching the nine thousand mark.
Chapter 499
This delighted David.
When he saw that the 10000 mark was getting closer, he would be lying if he said he was not nervous.
God Rank guardian!
It was a realm that many people dreamed of, and he was about to reach it in just a few months.
One had to keep in mind that he just got into martial arts a few months ago, and now, only five months later, was about to become one of the top martial artists in the world and become a God Rank guardian.
This was unprecedented.
Of course, the frenzied expansion of East League Capitals had also caused a lot of problems.
David received a lot of calls from the heads. Except for in Springfield, a city where he had shown his prestige and the cities that Clinton had informed beforehand, his company had run into resistance everywhere else.
Even Capital City was no exception.
Hugo also encountered a lot of resistance.
However, David asked them to avoid those hurdles for now and that he would deal with them when he had time.
All he needed to do now was settle Mason’s matter first.
Julia called him almost every day to tell him not to travel too far because they would get all the herbs soon.
This girl was undoubtedly the most attentive when it came to the matter of whether Mason could continue to live for a few more years.
As a result, David would receive several calls from Julia when he was at Celia’s house. Celia did not react, but Mindy was a little suspicious.
On this day, David was eating and chatting at Celia’s house.
Ring ring
The phone rang again.
David did not need to see who it was to know that it was probably Julia.
Mindy and the others lifted their heads to look at David, so he could only answer the call magnanimously.
They would only be suspicious of him if he tried to
hide it.
After David picked up the phone, Julia said urgently before he could speak, “David, I got all the herbs. Come quick, my great-grandpa is getting weaker and weaker.”
“Alright, I’ll head over now. Don’t worry,” David said.
After speaking, David said to Celia’s family of three who were still eating, “Mr. Young, Mrs. Young, Celia, I have something to deal with now. You should take your time with the meal.”
“You should go and take care of your emergency first,” Jon said.
“David, are you full? Would you like to take something to eat on the road?” Celia asked.
“No, I’m full.”
“Alright, be safe.” “Okay, I’ll head out now.” David left in a hurry.
He now needed to use Somerland Ancient Traditional Medicine to allocate various herbs and combine their various medicinal properties to re energize the functions of various organs in Mason’s body, so that they could continue to work.
Mason was in critical condition right now. The last time he fought against the nine God Rank guardians alone, he had consumed the last remaining energy in his body.
Although he concluded that Mason would live for another month and he would be in a very sorry state during this time, it was just as Mason said, if he did not provoke this battle to deter the forces who wanted to take action against Somerland, he might not get the chance to do anything else in the coming year.
He managed to show his prestige in this battle, but at the same time, it accelerated his death. Now, he might only be able to lie in bed now and might even have problems walking.
All of his organs’ functions were declining, and this was not a joke.
If David did not learn the magical healing art that was Somerland Ancient Traditional Medicine, Mason’s death was basically a sure thing.
With that, David left the residence, got into his car, and sped forward.
Chapter 500
The moment David left Celia’s house, Mindy put down her spoon.
“What the hell happened to the two of you? How could you let David go just like that? Don’t you want to ask him what he’s doing? Jon, you too! Celia might not be that smart, but don’t you understand? David is always answering the phone behind our back these days. Now, he even left right after answering the phone. Something fishy is clearly going on,” Mindy said angrily.
“Then why didn’t you ask?” Jon asked back.
“…” Mindy did not know how to answer for a while.
She could not speak to David in a questioning tone as before after she discovered David’s current status and background.
However, as David’s future mother-in-law, she could not stand seeing David, the super eligible bachelor, seemingly messing around outside.
She was deeply afraid that her daughter’s boyfriend would end up getting stolen.
A handsome and rich man like David was simply the most eligible bachelor among the current crop. In today’s society, there was probably not a single young woman who would be unmoved and did not want to wrap him around her finger after she meeting him.
“Mom, David is not that kind of person. He must have had an emergency, so don’t overthink it,” Celia said.
“Why are you still siding with him? Do you know what he’s doing outside? You’re always staying at home and you don’t even know to follow him to see what’s going on. You won’t even know who to cry to when someone steals him from you,” Mindy said, looking at Celia while feeling like she had not lived up to her expectations.
“Alright, you are so busy every day minding your multi-billion-dollar small company. David manages such a big company with trillions of assets, so of course, there will be a lot of things going on. Isn’t it normal to have some emergencies?” Jon asked.
“Right, now that you’ve said that, I remembered that East League Capitals seems to be expanding a little fast recently and they seem to have encountered some trouble in Capital City,” Mindy thought for a while and said. “What kind of trouble?”
“What kind of trouble?”
Jon and Celia both asked at the same time.
“I don’t know either. I just heard from others that they might have disturbed other people’s interests because they expanded too fast. Now, they’re being targeted and the other party seems to be a big family company that’s no worse than East League Capitals. They’re an old force in Capital City too.” “Is it serious?” Celia asked anxiously.
“I told you I’m not clear about that. It is difficult for small potatoes like us to understand the inside story of this kind of struggle between large capital groups. If you want to know, you can ask David when he comes back.”
“I think I better not. I don’t want to cause more trouble for him.” Celia said.
“Oh, you! How did I give birth to such a soft-hearted daughter like you? Right, you have been with David for so long, so have you ever gotten pregnant?” Mindy asked suddenly.
“Huh?” Celia was confused. She did not know why Mindy would ask her this.
“What do you mean huh? I’m asking whether you’ve
gotten pregnant or not.” “N-No…” Celia whispered.
“No? Are young people taking such good precautions now?” Mindy asked curiously.
“I-It’s true!” Celia said.
“Alright, let’s do this. Ask David to move in here or you can move out to stay with him. We won’t stop you. If you get pregnant, give birth to the child. A lot of people get pregnant or had given birth when they’re still in university. You can just get married after you graduate,” Monday thought about it and said.
“Mom! What are you talking about? How could I do this?” Celia said, her face turning red.
