Chapter 591

“Yes! We will go as well!” David took the members of South River Province’s powerful families with him to the Nichols family’s residence. Currently, the Nichols family had not fully resurfaced yet. Franklin, the head of the Nichols family, had only brought these people along with him to dig up new prospects. Franklin and the two elders of the Nichols family were their strongest fighters. Now that they were dead, chaos had erupted in the Nichols family. David attacked the remaining Nichols family members who were masters in the Dragon Rank, and in doing so basically defeated all the people the Nichols family had sent out.

The remaining members were all arrested, and Cade them sent to the South River Province prison.

The issues that needed taking care of in South River Province were all eliminated after the Nichols family was defeated. Meanwhile, the Greg family did not even have to wait for David to issue an order before the powerful families of South River Province joined forces to destroy them. Since they had dared work with the Nichols family to cause trouble in Somerland, no good outcome was awaiting them. However, the issue with the

Nichols family had aided David in understanding the situation Somerland was in now.

He found the hidden families weak because he was looking at them from a position of immense power. He was too powerful for them. However, the Nichols family’s power could be seen when he compared them to the families of South River Province.

South River Province was a huge place, but on the surface, they only had Cade as their sole master in Dragon Rank Meanwhile, the other families had, at most, half-step Dragon Rank or peak Tiger Rankers as their most powerful fighters. What about the Nichols family? They had three peak Dragon Rankers. Additionally, they had multiple ordinary Dragon Rankers. There was no point in comparing the two. If they had not been intimidated by Somerland…

Taking over South River Province would have posed no difficulties to the Nichols family.

However, the Nichols family could only be ranked as mediocre among the hidden sects and families.

That could be seen from the fact they had chosen South River Province as their target.

This was because South River Province was ranked in the latter half of Somerland’s sixty-six provinces. Hidden sects and families who were on top of their game would choose to target Capital City, Springfield, or other high-ranking provinces.

The higher the province’s rank, the more abundant the resources it held, and thus, the greater the benefits it would bring to the hidden sects and families after they gained control of it. At that moment, there were probably hidden sects and families coming out of hiding in all of Somerland’s major provinces.

However, the Somerland government was still able to deter them since Mason had not died yet. Thus, the situation was still under control.

Even so, things would probably not remain under control for much longer.

When everyone came out of hiding…

That would be when true chaos erupted in Somerland. What had happened with the Nichols family this time could serve as a warning to these hidden families and sects, but it would not do too much good. This was because the Nichols family was not powerful enough yet. Moreover, Old Master Stefani wanted to keep the fact he had recovered a secret so they could launch an even more powerful attack against the foreign forces. What Franklin had said was not wrong.

It was true that the Somerland government was about to enter a

chaotic era both domestically and abroad.

In that case, since Old Master Stefani was figuring out a way to deal with the foreign forces… He, David Lidell, would be the one to intimidate the hidden families and sects within the country.

He would arrange for a meeting with Mason soon. After all, the Somerland government still had Team Dragon, right? Rumor was that all the members of Team Dragon were peak Dragon Rankers. He had plans to lead the team personally so they could exchange blows with these hidden sects and families.

David did not think well of these people. Back when they were needed, they had chosen to go into hiding.

Now, they were coming out of hiding to reap the plentiful resources. Were there really such wonderful opportunities in life?

Chapter 592

After the issue with the Nichols and Greg family had been taken care of, David spoke to Old Master Luther and Charles once more.

Now that he had issued the announcement, the Luther family would be the most powerful in South River Province.

They needed to consult David about how they should keep South River Province under control. David left after everything was settled. He had parked his car right outside the mansion. Old Master Luther and Charles walked David to the front door. They watched as David got into his car and only turned around to walk back into the house after he left. Old Master Luther wondered to himself, ‘Where on Earth is that young lass, Sandy?

David is leaving soon, but she has not even come to say her goodbyes.

Sigh… The girl is probably unable to bear this separation. Who knows, she might be hiding and crying in some comer!’ After David got into his car, he started the car’s engine so he could drive off. At that moment, the passenger-side door opened abruptly. A petite figure clambered in. David was stunned! Wasn’t this Sandy Luther? What was she doing here? “Dave!” Sandy called out shyly. “Sandy! What’s wrong?” David asked confusedly.

“Nothing’s wrong, Dave! I just wanted you to keep me company! I was constantly afraid during the days when my grandfather was ill and my brother was injured. I only felt relaxed and safe when I was with you,” Sandy said in a somewhat aggrieved tone.

David would have left again if she had not run after him today.

No one knew how long it would be before they met again.

“Sandy! Actually…” “Dave! I know! I just want you to keep me company! Is that alright?” Sandy said as she turned toward

David, a hopeful look shining in her eyes. “Well… alright! Where do you want to go?” David asked ruefully as he sighed inwardly.

His mind powers were extremely strong, which naturally meant he could detect the change in Sandy’s emotions and understand her true intentions.

However, he had no idea how he should break the news to Sandy.

He was already with Celia. Any feelings of affection he had for Sandy were like those of an older brother toward his younger sister. “You’ve agreed? Wonderful! Thank you, Dave!” Sandy said happily. “So, tell me! Where do you want to go?” David asked. “Anywhere! Anywhere works as long as I’m with you!” Sandy replied. David revved the engine and drove off. South River City was a place he was quite familiar with.

During his university days, he had traveled through almost the entire South River City while working his part-time job.

David drove Sandy to a secluded forest park.

This park was quite crowded during the day.

However, there were fewer people here during the evenings as there were no residential areas nearby.

Usually, only couples came here on dates in the evenings. David had decided to come here precisely because it was a quiet place. He felt that he needed to set things straight with Sandy. If he allowed things to continue the way they were now, the situation might spiral out of control.

He genuinely did not want to hurt Sandy, who was an intelligent and thoughtful girl. However, it would become even more difficult to deal with in the future if he did not set things straight now.

It made his head hurt!

Initially, he had wanted to set it aside and ignore it. ! He had planned to circle back to it after taking care of everything else eating up his time now. Unfortunately, he had not expected Sandy to run after him. It caused him to think that the situation might get out of control if he did not set it straight right now.

The duo walked up the mountain, and Sandy chattered away excitedly throughout the whole journey. It seemed like she was in an excellent mood.

It was her first time going on a solo date with David.

It was also her first time going out on a date with a guy.

They talked and laughed throughout the journey, stopping every now and then to take a break.

Half an hour later…

Chapter 593

The duo arrived at the top of the forest park’s tallest mountain.

They gazed at the lights shining out from the houses below them.

Both of them felt carefree and relaxed. “Thank you, Dave!” Sandy said abruptly. “No need for such formalities, Sandy! Your brother and I are friends, and your grandfather has also helped me in the past.” “That’s on them! I’m my own person! Let’s discuss our issues separately.” David had no idea what to say in response.

The duo fell into another bout of silence.

Several minutes later… David said, “Sandy! Actually, …” However, he only managed to get a few words out before Sandy interrupted him. “Dave! I know what you’re trying to say.” “You do?”

“Yes, I do! But I don’t want to hear it!”

David, “

A short while later, David said, “But I still think I should tell you.” “Alright then, tell me!” Sandy did not turn him down this time. David hesitated before saying, “Sandy, I actually already have a girlfriend!” “I guessed so!” Sandy said as she turned to look at David. She had tears in her eyes.

“Sandy, you’re still very young! You only feel safe around me because I saved you when you were in a moment of need. It also caused you to feel indebted toward me and feel the need to want to repay my kindness! But that’s not love. You’ll forget about me when you grow up and meet other wonderful guys.” “Dave!”

“Yes?”

“You may not have feelings for me, but you can’t deny the feelings I have for you.” “Sandy, you’re still young! You don’t know what true feelings are yet.” “Dave! Right now, I think about you during the day, at night, when I’m eating, and even when I’m asleep. I think about you no matter what I do, and I can’t distract myself no matter how hard I try. Tell me, what is it if it’s not love?” Sandy asked, tears shining in her eyes as she stared steadfastly at David.

David felt his hairs stand on end as Sandy stared at him. Right now, he would rather get into a fight against several God Rank guardians than face Sandy. “But… Sandy… I already have a girlfriend! We were high school classmates, and we are in a wonderful relationship! I’m planning to marry her once we’ve graduated.” “She must be beautiful, right? What’s her name?”. “She’s gorgeous! Her name is Celia Young!” “Celia? What a beautiful name! But… Dave! I won’t give up!”

“Huh?” Dave was stunned.

“I said, I won’t give up! Dave, you said that I’m too young now, but I’ll have grown up in two years. When that time comes, Ms. Celia won’t be that much better than me,” Sandy said solemnly.

“Sandy! There’s really no need for you to act this way! Can’t we be brother and sister? Isn’t it the same if I pamper you like a little sister?” David said, unsure if he should cry or laugh.

“No! Dave, there is no more room for anyone else other than you in my heart. If you and Ms. Celia get married, I will never get married. I’ll continue being your little sister for the rest of my life so that you’ll continue pampering me.” “Sandy! You’ll meet plenty of excellent boys when you head off to college. When that time comes, you might forget about me.” “That’s impossible. Dave! Do you think anyone else can be even better than you?” Sandy asked.

David was stunned!

He had no answer to that question.

Indeed, no one else could be better than him in certain areas.

This comparison did not just ring true when people of his age were compared against him. It would not take long before he would be even more powerful than Mason Stefani, the legendary old man himself. Sure enough! It was not a good idea for one to be too talented either!

David felt a headache beginning to form. “Ring ring… Ring ring…” Just then, David’s phone rang. He took his phone out and looked at it. Clinton Zimmerman? Why was he calling him? Could the ten-year appointment be starting now?

It was highly possible! After all, Lorraine had already made an appearance, and he had met her himself.

Chapter 594

The call connected. “Clinton!” David said. “David!” Clinton’s voice rang out from the other end of the line. “Clinton, what’s the matter?” David asked. “David! It’s time for the ten-year appointment. I’m asking for you to help me out!” Clinton went straight to the point. “Oh? When? Where?”

“The time has been set for ten days from today! It will be at the intersection of Somerland and Falconia, ten miles west of Dark Cape!” “Dark Cape!” “Yes, that’s right, Dark Cape!” “Why Dark Cape?” David asked out of curiosity. “It’s because the ten-year appointment is not just something between myself and Stan. Instead, it serves as the stage for all the youngsters of Somerland to compete for supremacy. Not only will the heirs of the major Somerland families be attending, but disciples of the hidden sects and families that will soon come out of hiding will be there too. Nearly all of Somerland’s best youngsters will be there. We’re afraid that accidents might happen, so we chose the location to be west of Dark Cape, where there are extremely strong magnetic fields,” Clinton explained. So, that was the reason! David immediately understood.

Since disciples of the hidden sects and families would be there too, he would still attend even if Clinton did not invite him.

He could use that opportunity to meet these so-called hidden disciples and save himself the trouble of finding them one by one.

“Don’t worry, Clinton! I’ll do what I promised you! See you in ten days!” “Thank you so much, David!” Clinton said gratefully,

David hung up the call.

He had just been wondering what the intention behind the ten-year appointment was.

Two men had been fighting over a woman ten years ago. Had it evolved into countless men fighting over a single woman today? That was impossible! Lorraine’s looks were undeniably good, and she had a magnificent style unmatched by her

generation. A normal man would have infinite reveries about her ever since the first time he laid eyes on her. However, it was unrealistic to say that a single woman had attracted the heirs of so many powerful families and the disciples of hidden families to flock towards her.

In that case, what was the reason?

For fame? Or for power? David thought about it carefully. If he was not mistaken, it was probably for fame!

There was an unprecedented appeal in being the one who gained fame by overpowering countless youngsters and becoming the leader of Somerland’s younger generation through the ten-year appointment.

It would also bring about immense benefits in the incoming chaotic world.

That was why everyone was so eager to join the ten-year appointment. After figuring out the key points… David no longer paid any attention to the matter. The ten-year appointment was a wonderful chance to become famous for someone else.

However, it was nothing to David.

So what if he became the leader of Somerland’s younger generation?

He did not need that kind of fame. It was too cheap for him.

His vision had long since surpassed such a goal.

Besides, his powers no longer allowed him to compare himself to these youngsters.

He would be bullying them if he did so! Just one of his fingers would be enough to push down these so-called prides of the younger generation so much that they could not raise their heads. However, he still needed to attend the event! When the time came, he would just go and assist Clinton and ensure he repaid the favor he owed.

As for the rest, he would forget about it! There was no need for him to stick out amidst these people. “Let’s go, Sandy! I’ll take you home!” David said.

“Dave, can you accompany me for just a while longer? Let’s go sit over there!” Sandy took several steps forward when she finished speaking and sat down on a stone bench.

David had no choice but to follow Sandy and sit down beside her.

“Sandy! I’m good friends with your brother, and your grandfather has helped me greatly! I

truly did not wish to hurt you!” David said after he sat down. “I know, David. There’s no need for you to feel guilty! You don’t have to feel pressured either. You’re right. I’m still young now. Perhaps I won’t like you anymore in two years!” “I’m so relieved that you’re thinking that way, Sandy!” David said. He heaved an inward sigh of relief at the same time. He had been worried that the girl’s emotions would spiral out of control.

Chapter 595

“Dave, I have a question for you!” “Ask away!”

“Besides the older – brother-like love you have for me, do you feel even the tiniest bit of any other feelings for me? Look into my eyes and answer me honestly! Don’t lie!” Sandy said as she turned around to look at David.

David was stunned. He had not expected Sandy to ask such a question.

At that moment, he had no idea how he should answer her.

Did he really have no other feelings for Sandy? That might not be the case! David could see hints of Celia in Sandy.

Stubborn!

Determined!

Understanding! It was tough to change their minds once they had decided on something. Moreover, they were not clingy!

You could visit her when you were free.

She would not annoy you when you were busy either.

Was there anyone who would dislike a woman like that?

Besides, Sandy used to be South River City’s bratty child. As the daughter of the Luther family, she could do anything she wanted in South River City. No one dared say anything, even when she skipped school for long periods and went clubbing. However, Sandy had completely changed simply because of what David had said. David’s words were even more effective than what Charles and Old Master Luther’s nagging.

If David said he did not feel even the slightest bit of any other feelings…

He would be lying.

Even so, what could he do?

He was already with Celia.

His relationship with Celia had already begun, and there was no way he would betray her.

Since nothing had happened between him and Sandy yet, he would have to nip it in the bud.

David’s gaze was shifty. He did not dare look into Sandy’s eyes.

David had little experience in dealing with relationships, and he had no idea what to do in a situation like this!

He did not want to hurt Sandy, but he did not want to betray

Celia either.

If word got out that he, a God Rank guardian, was stuck on a problem like this, He would probably become the town’s laughingstock. The belle would always be the hero’s toughest hurdle. “Sandy! Actually, I…”

“Stop! Dave, you don’t need to say anything more. I understand !” Sandy said as she smiled.

“Oh? Oh! Alright!” Sandy was delighted to see how embarrassed David was. It was a difficult sight to imagine!

One would find it difficult to believe that this was the man who had looked like a god at the Luther household today, who was so fearsome that even the powerful families of South River Province did not dare to breath to deeply when he was around, and who was able to destroy the Nichols family in the blink of an eye.

David’s behavior proved he had feelings for her. That was enough!

She had been afraid that David would turn her down without hesitation, and that he had no feelings for her other than brotherly love.

If that were the case, nothing would happen, no matter how persistent or determined she was.

Now, it seemed that it was the best possible situation for her.

David had feelings for her, but he already had a girlfriend. Moreover, they were high school classmates, which meant they had gotten to know each other even earlier, which was why he could not accept her. This, at least, gave her the motivation to continue forward. It was enough! The presence of hope was enough to give her infinite motivation! David would probably have an aneurysm if he knew what Sandy was thinking now. His momentary hesitation had given Sandy even more

motivation,

“Dave! Please take me home!” Sandy said as she got to her feet. “Alright!”

Chapter 596

After David sent Sandy home, he returned to South River International Residence. After showering, he stood before the huge floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the night view outside. He recalled everything that he had experienced after obtaining the system.

He had a lingering question in his heart. What was the system? Was it part of alien technology? Or did it travel to the present from the future like in television shows?

In any case, this was not something that could be created by the technology of the present world.

That was because the system was overly powerful. However, why would the system choose him? There were billions of people in the world. He was just an ordinary human among the global population. Was it because he happened to spit his blood on the system? Did it recognize him as its master after that?

How could there be such a coincidence?

He did not understand!!

Just while David was deep in thought, the phone rang again. David returned to his senses and took out his phone.

It was an unknown number.

The call then connected…

“Hello? Nice to meet you!” David said.

“Hello, David! I’m Lorraine Lovewood!” The clear voice of a female rang out on the other side of the call.

Lorraine Lovewood?

Why was she looking for him?

They had never interacted before, right?

“Nice to meet you, Miss Lovewood! Is there anything you need?” David asked.

“David, a youth event will be held ten kilometers west of Dark Cape in ten days’ time. I hope that you can take part in it! The heirs of all the prominent families in Somerland will

participate in the event. The hidden descendants will join as well! It’s the largest scale event to date. It’s the best opportunity for you to showcase your abilities as well,” Lorraine said. In ten days’ time?

Ten kilometers west of Dark Cape?

Was this not the ten-year appointment? Why was Lorraine Lovewood inviting him to the event?

“Miss Lovewood, this should have nothing to do with me, right?” David asked.

“David, the fact that you were able to appear in Old Master

Stefani’s residence and dared to attack the Gooding family proves that you’re not an ordinary person. You should be aware that it’ll be extremely useful for one to hold the title of the most powerful youth in Somerland before chaos arrives.” As expected!

This was exactly what he had expected.

Everyone was fighting to obtain the title of the most powerful youth in Somerland. Meanwhile, Lorraine Lovewood should just be an extra.

However, why was she doing this? Was she looking for more powerful support unit just to be on the good side of the most powerful youth of Somerland?

She was not from a weak sect. He could tell this from the abilities of the few people that had been by her side.

In any case, it did not matter!

All of this had nothing to do with him.

If he had not promised Clinton to assist him in the ten-year appointment, David would not be interested in the event at all.

No matter how grand such youth gatherings were, they were no different from child’s play in David’s eyes He was an adult, so of course he would not be interested in playing around with children!

However, since he had to be there anyway, he should just accept the invitation!

“Alright. I’ll be there in ten days, Miss Lovewood,” David replied. “I’ll give you a grand welcome then!” Lorraine hung up after saying. She still had to notify the others and invite them to the event.

She was holding the event in the name of the ten-year appointment.

Lorraine did not expect the words that she had simply blurted out ten years ago to have such a large impact.

Since that was the case, she would use this opportunity to expand its scale. By doing so, she could lure out all the capable youths of Somerland.

Chapter 597

The most powerful youth of Somerland could be selected through this event. This would be a major contribution on Lorraine’s end as well. It did not matter who eventually obtained the title as the victor would eventually owe her one. The higher their future achievements were, the more they would owe her. Meanwhile, there was the problem of her future spouse as well. She was willing to marry any man that could overpower all the other youths of Somerland! As a woman, and one who drove plenty of men crazy at that, she could only marry a man capable of leading the world in this era since she was not able to do so personally.

She had come up with this plan a long time ago. Otherwise, she would not have waited till now.

Her unrivaled looks!!!

Her unparalleled charm!

She was born with all of these qualities for the man that would be her spouse.

Only a man like this had the right to be with her. Initially, David planned to return to Capital City to discuss issues related to Team Dragon with Mason.

Plenty of hidden sects and families were starting to resurface in the world. Therefore, rules had to be set out to prevent them from messing around.

However, the ten-year appointment was about to begin, so he would only return to Capital City after that!

He would pay a visit to Dark Cape tomorrow. He wanted to take a look at the developments of Dark Cape. With his unlimited financial support, he believed that Dark Cape was now a place that could impress and shock the whole world. Besides, they had the support of a God Rank guardian like him. Dark Cape no longer feared any forces. The next day, David quietly headed to Dark Cape.

Meanwhile, over the past few days…

Countless hidden descendants and young men from prominent families in Somerland received invitations to the ten-year appointment event through text or call from Lorraine.

Lorraine would personally call those who were highly reputable.

Meanwhile, Lorraine would send out invitations to those with ordinary statuses but with the right to participate in the event through text.

These people reacted differently compared to David.

The young men that received the texts or calls all expressed their interest in participating in the event joyously. They all told her that they would make it on time. That was because the fact that they had received the invitation through text or call meant that they were worthy of participating in the event. This was considered a sign of approval.

On the other hand, those who were yet to receive the invitations stayed beside their phones at all times. As soon as their phones rang, they would be as overjoyed as a poor man that had just won the lottery.

On the other hand, their moods would instantly hit rock bottom the moment they realized that the call was not an invitation to the ten-year appointment.

The ways in which everyone showed off changed as well. Every time heirs of different families met up or attended a gathering of some sort, the first thing that they would ask about was whether the other had received an invitation to the ten year appointment.

They would then start showing off their invitation. This was proceeded by a load of nonsense and bullsh*t. Those who did not receive the invitation felt that they were beneath others.

Undeniably… Lorraine was quite good at creating a powerful force. The passion of all the youths in Somerland had been stirred up by her. Everyone was now anticipating the chance to flaunt their abilities during the event. Even if they could not beat out all the youths in Somerland, it would be fine as long as they gave an outstanding performance. This would be extremely helpful for their future development.

This was also the same for the hidden families and sect heirs that were about to resurface in the world.

After some hidden descendants that had no plans of resurfacing in the world so heard about this news, they immediately changed their minds and came out of hiding in advance.

Lorraine arranged for the event to be held in ten days as she was being considerate toward the hidden descendants that were yet to resurface in the world.

That way, they would have enough time to make preparations.

More hidden descendants would be able to take part in the event as well.

Once this news spread , Lorraine was confident that these people would not be able to resist the temptation of obtaining the title of the most powerful youth in Somerland.

Chapter 598

Dark Cape… Within the castle of Red Flame Mercenaries. David sat down on the main seat of the hall with a silver mask on his face. The higher-ups of Red Flaine Mercenaries were gathered below him. Red Flame Mercenaries were already extremely powerful now. With David’s unlimited financial support and his reputation as Captain Silver Face, Dark Cape managed to recruit many powerful people. Killer, the First Deputy Captain of Red

Flame Mercenaries, was finding it harder to keep these people in control.

He only had the abilities of a mid-Dragon Ranker. Meanwhile, two of the newbies in the Red Flame Mercenaries possessed abilities that were in the later stages of Dragon Rank. Not to mention Tulip, who was in the beginner stage of Dragon Rank, and the other deputy captain, Paul, who was at the half-step to Dragon Rank.

David looked at the higher-ups of the Red Flame Mercenaries beneath him.

Two of them were in the later stages of Dragon Rank There were five mid-Dragon Rankers. Eleven of them were in the beginner stages of Dragon Rank

Besides, Dark Cape had all sorts of advanced weapons.

This was truly an extremely powerful force.

However, this was not enough.

None of them were peak Dragon Rankers.

How could this be?

They still had to recruit more powerful figures. “Killer! Give me a report of Red Flame Mercenaries’ recent status!” David spoke up.

“Yes, captain!” Killer got up and responded courteously. After that, he started reporting some of the important things that had recently happened surrounding Red Flame Mercenaries. For example, he reported how many people they had recruited, how many weapons they had purchased, what abilities each of the newcomers had, how much they had spent, and so on. Killer gave an extremely detailed explanation.

One could tell that he had definitely put in the effort to report everything to David. However, David got bored while listening to his report.

He did not really care about these matters.

He was concerned about why it took them such a long time to spend his money!

Killer retreated to the side after speaking,

David just told him, “I believe that everyone knows how things are right now! Chaos is coming, both in Somerland and the entire world. Although our abilities are continuously rising, it still isn’t enough. We must continue equipping ourselves with more weapons and continuously grow stronger. That’s the only way we can survive the upcoming chaos.”

“Besides, if Red Flame Mercenaries just showcases our strong capabilities, it will be extremely easy for us to recruit talents during this period of time. Following the continuous appearances of hidden families and sects, a lot of people are looking for powerful support. Therefore, all of us must continue working hard. Don’t be afraid of spending money. I have plenty of it. Our main priority is to strengthen Red Flame Mercenaries, understood?” “We understand!” The higher – ups of Red Flame Mercenaries within the hall shouted out in unison. “Very well! Over the next few days, I’ll be staying here at Dark Cape. Do whatever you need to do without worries. I’ll take care of anything that happens. You can bring up any suggestions right now. I’ll consider anything that’s beneficial for Red Flame Mercenaries.” Everyone in the hall remained silent for a while.

Then, Rory, the military adviser, stood up and said, “Captain, there’s something that I’d like to report!” “Say it!”

“The geographical location of Dark Cape is really special. It’s located between the two major empires of Somerland and Falconia. We’re safe right now because both empires are at peace at this time. However, once this peace gets disrupted, we won’t be able to defend ourselves against any of these empires given our current abilities. Besides, they won’t hesitate to take over our territory as soon as the chance arises.”

“Go on!” David said after taking a sip of tea.

“According to what I know, the stabilizing force of Somerland, Mason Stefani, is on the verge of death. He won’t be alive for much longer. Once Old Master Stefani dies, Somerland will be thrown into chaos. By then, they won’t have the time to care about us and Falconia will definitely take action against us.

That’s because it’ll be easier and more convenient for them to invade Somerland after taking over our territory! That’s why Dark Cape is in danger right now! It’s also the reason why we can’t recruit more powerful people.”

Rory moved to the side after speaking. A lot of people began gossiping in the hall as well. Rory had given them an extremely clear analysis.

SO Besides, he supported his statements with logic and evidence. Everything that he had mentioned was likely to happen.

The two newcomers from the late stages of the Dragon Rank felt rather regretful at this moment.

Chapter 599

They had been in Chaos Land while the world was on the verge of chaos.

Thus, they wanted to join a more powerful force to survive the chaos.

However, it now seemed that Red Flame Mercenaries were not safe either!

They would have joined the top mercenary – Black Dragon Mercenaries if they had known about this.

However, there were too many masters in Black Dragon Mercenaries. They would be given a low status if they joined them

If they went to Red Flame, they would be the strongest besides Captain Silver Face and thus enjoy a high status. However, what good would a high status bring to you if you could not save your life? Could they have a higher status than being a captain in Chaos Land?

‘What should I do?’ They looked at each other. They badly wanted to back out.

However, they still had a half-step God Rank captain. Otherwise, they would probably want to leave right now. “That makes sense!” David nodded and said. Then, he asked, “Anything else?” One of the late stage Dragon Ranker got up and said, “Captain! I think Rory’s right! We’re in danger, so I suggest we abandon Dark Cape for now! Pick a safe place, and with enough money, we’ll soon rebuild a territory without having to live in constant fear!”

“I agree!” Another late stage Dragon Ranker echoed. “I agree!” “I agree!” “I agree!”

Almost all the other newcomers agreed to the suggestion,

They were all looking for someone to protect their lives. They were not trying to follow Red Flame Mercenaries to their death either.

However, none of Red Flame Mercenaries’ elderly said anything as they were all waiting for David to decide.

David was rather pleased with that.

At least Red Flame Mercenaries’ veterans were quite cohesive.

“I hear your suggestion, but Red Flame Mercenaries isn’t moving away from Dark Cape. Besides, we won’t be living in fear every day! Because… Red Flame has me!” David finished and unleashed an overbearing pressure.

An invisible storm began to blow through the hall.

Everyone felt like a boat in the sea that had been completely submerged. The suffocating feeling made them feel a tightness in the chest. It turned out that death could come so fast! Was this what it felt like to die? There was a look of horror on everyone’s face!

However, a moment later…

The suffocating feeling was gone.

Everyone came to their senses to find their clothes soaked with sweat. Everyone looked at David who was seated in the main seat with shocked eyes. How strong!

The two late stage Dragon Rankers had met half-step God Rankers before, and there was no way they could put so much pressure on them. They were like ants in front of an elephant when facing David.

They could not fight it!

It was only pressure. What if they started fighting? A half-step God Ranker was not capable of this! God Rank guardian?

That must be it.

Red Flame Mercenaries’ captain-Silver Face turned out to be a God Rank Guardian. Everyone had been fooled!

Chapter 600

Time passed day by day…

Dark Cape’s Red Flame Mercenaries started to evolve with David around.

Everyone was relieved when they saw what David was capable of.

A force with a God Rank Guardian and a force without God Rank Guardian were in two different situations. The former was a force no one would easily mess with. If you wanted to kill a God Rank Guardian, two or even three God Rank guardians of the same rank had to be dispatched at the same time.

If your opponent escaped, having a God Rank Guardian lurking in the dark, desperate for revenge, was not something any force could ignore.

This was why even Falconia would not mess with such forces. The top mercenary in the global underworld – Black Dragon Mercenaries was an example of this.

Black Dragon Mercenaries was originally a big country that had been invaded by Falconia. After the split, some senior officials came together to form the group. They hated Falconia so much that they often assassinated Falconia’s middle and senior officials.

To this day, Falconia still had no idea how to handle Black Dragon Mercenaries.

Of course, it was not that Falconia could not destroy Black Dragon Mercenaries. It was just that the price they needed to pay to do so was so much that it was simply not worth it! Red Flame Mercenaries also had a God Rank guardian, which gave them a little bit of peace of mind.

Everyone’s panicked heart slowly calmed down.

David’s lavish points were also increasing rapidly.

David’s body was now at God level 6, corresponding to a mid tier God-Ranker about to make a breakthrough to high rank If he had another one thousand lavish points, David would be able to break through to God level 7 and reach the later stages of God Rank. Such a realm was also rare amongst the God Rank guardians. Most God Rank guardians of various forces were still at the beginner rank. A few of them reached the mid-rank, and even fewer were high-rank.

Meanwhile, Mason had reached the peak of God Rank.

This made him the anchor of Somerland, capable of deterring the entire world. Even if he

fought alone against the nine powerful god-level guardians, he could still defeat them. Peak God Rank masters were terrifying.

On the third day in Dark Cape, David’s lavish points passed 1,000. He upgraded his body to level 7, and the corresponding realm reached the later stages of God Rank.

If David revealed his power now, the impact he would bring to the people, including those so called hidden sects and families would be unprecedented.

A 22-year-old high-rank God Ranker!

Anyone would dare not believe that such a monster existed.

There was still one week left until the 10-year appointment. According to the lavish points’ current growth rate, David’s body should be able to break through to God level 9 by then.

This was the critical point of the later stages of God Rank. One more step past this and his body would achieve level 10, and he would have reached Mason’s current realm-peak God Rank

A man of this realm was already the strongest man in the world who could take charge of an empire.

David was looking forward to the day when he would be invincible. Meanwhile, the whole of Somerland was starting to become chaotic. Somewhere in Somerland.

A locally well-known rotisserie.

There was a long line of customers waiting for roasted chicken.

There was only a certain amount of chicken every day. Once they sold out, there would be no more available for the day.

Therefore, people lined up to buy it early.

It was mainly because the roasted chicken here was delicious and had been around for decades.

However, while everyone was waiting in line, a man dressed in old-school clothing cut the queue.

This naturally caused dissatisfaction in the customers queuing behind.

“Who are you? Don’t you know to wait in line? What kind of a person are you?”

“Yeah! You’re a man! How dare you cut the queue?”

The man ignored them and stood in front, waiting for his roasted chicken. At this time, a tall man at the back of the line walked up to the front and grabbed the man who had cut the line.

“Don’t you f*cking know that there’s a line? “F*ck you!” The man who cut the line shouting and punched the tall man.

He hit the 200-pound man so hard that the man flew a few meters back. He blacked out right after he hit the ground.

“‘Murder!”

“Murder!”
