Chapter 816
It was as if he wanted to take Selena right here in the kitchen.
‘What the f*ck!
What am I thinking?
I can’t cheat on Celia!’
David admitted that he had almost fallen for Selena’s allure, but his mind power was so strong that he had managed to suppress his own desire.
Selena did not expect this.
She was certain that she saw blatant desire in David’s gaze.
She was so excited, thinking that she had succeeded.
After all, David was the kind of man to take full responsibility once he had slept with you.
However, a moment later, calm returned to David’s eyes and there was no sign of desire anymore.
Selena was both shocked and in awe. NO awe.The man had a terrifyingly strong grip on his self-control.
She could guarantee that David was the only young man who could hold himself back from her charm.
It made sense how David managed to become a supreme peak God Rank powerhouse at such a young age and achieve a success others could never imagine attaining.
Talent must account for part of his success, but so did self -control.
“Selena, I know that the King family wants me to join their ranks and your family may believe that a marriage union is the strongest tie to form, but I will not agree to a loveless marriage . Perhaps you were right about Celia, but so what? I don’t care. I can and will control myself. Not every man thinks with their lower halves and your allure does not affect me,” David replied calmly.
“David, since you became Somerland’s most powerful youth, I’ve only ever seen you as my future husband. There is a place in my heart for you. Even if I felt nothing for you in the beginning, I’ve found myself slowly falling for you, so it won’t be a loveless marriage. Celia will never be able to bear your children. Has it been your plan all along to die alone?” “A catastrophe is coming, and no one knows what will happen tomorrow, I don’t even know if all of us will survive it. There’s no point thinking about what will happen in the future when the catastrophe might destroy all your plans. Plus, I’ve never truly thought about having children of my own before.”
Selena wanted to say more when David interrupted her, “ Alright, enough of this. Celia’s come down, so go chat with her instead. I’m fine here by myself. Celia’s an innocent girl and she truly likes you. I know you approached her with hidden intentions, but all I ask is that you treat her genuinely and well.”
“Don’t worry. I like Celia too, I would’ve treated her genuinely even if you didn’t ask me to,” Selena replied sincerely.
“Good. Rest assured , I recognize the contributions the King family has given to Somerland . I will not stand by and watch should you need my help.”
“Thank you!”
Selena glanced at David once more before turning to leave the kitchen. David continued to busy himself and a table full of flavorful dishes was complete.
The three of them chatted and ate away happily, and any signs of the discourse in the kitchen vanished.
Chapter 817
The three of them ate dinner happily.
“David, do you have anything on tomorrow?” Celia looked up and asked hopefully.
“Nope!” David replied.
“Really? Then how about we go on a day trip somewhere? It’s been a long while since we went out to do something together,” Celia asked happily.
“Sure. I’m free these few days anyway, so we can go anywhere you want,” David replied with a smile.
At the same time, he also felt guilty.
He had been rather busy these days and did not spend much time with Celia.
There had even been a few consecutive days when he did not text nor call Celia, but she understandingly let him be.
This was a reason why David liked Celia so much, shë knew her limits and never overstepped despite how much she loved him.
Celia would never stick to him nor would she throw any occasional little tantrums.
Unlike when he was with Sarah.
With Sarah, he had to report his location every couple of hours if he did not attend class or she would get angry.
Sometimes, when David was too busy to text and reply to her, Sarah would spam David with calls.
Comparing the two, Celia was much more understanding, and this made David’s heart ache. He vowed to never hurt Celia.
“That’s great!” Celia said excitedly.
Then. she turned to Selena and said, “Come with us tomorrow, Miss Selena!”
“Sure!” Selena replied, wanting nothing more than to join them.
“Alright! That’s settled, then.”
After dinner, the three of them sat together and chatted a little more until it was time to rest.
When David was away, the two ladies would sleep in the same room.
However, this night, Selena attentively chose to sleep in the guest room instead of with Celia, causing the latter to flush in embarrassment.
Still, she retired to her bedroom with David.
There was no way David would let go of such a great opportunity, but the man heeded what Selena said earlier in the kitchen today.
Celia fell asleep less than two minutes after they were done.
She seemed truly exhausted, and this solidified what Selena said.
There was a difference in the physical condition of martial artists and ordinary people.
Despite also being made of bone and muscle, martial artists were slowly breaking the physical limits of ordinary people.
David felt this deeply but to him, this was not a valid reason to accept Selena’s advances.
After all, he was a gentleman youth with a traditional mindset who had undergone higher education.
Yes, he had been hurt before, but that was no reason to become a playboy and hurt other women’s feelings.
Even if he were to ignore the issue above, he should still accept Pearl first before Selena.
On that note, he had not even dealt with the matter regarding Pearl yet.
It would be a lie if David were to say that he felt nothing for Pearl.
Pearl had done a lot for him and her hard work could not be ignored when it came to the speedy growth of his strength.
In fact, Pearl even agreed to Walt’s outrageous request just to protect him and East League Capitals.No man could ignore such a contribution, and David was no different.
‘But Pearl is also just an ordinary person and she most likely won’t be able to handle me.’
David realized exasperatedly.
Thus, he decided not to think about it any further.
His primary mission now was to raise his strength quickly and deal with the catastrophe. He was rather curious about where the limit was when it came to spending money and upgrading himself through lavish points.
Super – peak God Rank most likely was not the limit, and he should be able to advance further and venture into a world no one has ever been to before.
He wondered if he would one day be powerful enough to squash the entire universe in his hand, strike stars and moons with his bare hands, or even stroll among the stars.
The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed.
After all, the system was just too miraculous.
Up until now, he knew nothing about the system other than the fact that he could gain lavish points by spending money and could upgrade his body and mind power as well as learn new skills by spending it.
The system had never made any attempt to communicate with him.
Logically speaking, something so high-tech should come with an intelligence system that explained how one could use the system, its features, and its history. However, David received no manual at all, let alone an intelligence system.
All he knew was that he could earn lavish points by spending money and then upgrade his body, mind power, and learn skills.
There was not even a manufacturing location or date.
If this system was a product it would be very questionable.David did not know what kind of entity the system was, but he was certain that the system was not a product on Earth.
Earth did not possess such a high degree of technological prowess yet.
Could this be some sort of alien civilization?
‘But why me of all people?’
There was nothing special about David and he was one of the countless ordinary people on Earth.
This was not a question he could answer now, but David believed that he would slowly learn the reason as he grew stronger.
He would one day find out what this system truly was and why it chose him of all people.
He felt like there was more than met the eye since something as high-tech as the system would not choose a host without reason.
There must be something he did not know, and he would eventual discover the reason as he grew stronger.
Like a little kitten, Celia curled into David’s arms and slept soundly.
With this, the two slept whilst embracing each other.
The next day, David and Celia browsed the streets of Capital City
Selena followed them the entire time, putting David under the limelight wherever they went.
Celia alone was already very stunning, but with an ethereal-looking Selena in tow, it was hard for people not to look.
David felt truly speechless about the fact that Selena also linked arms with him naturally like Celia was.
He and Celia were a couple. They had even done a homerun , so it was understandable if they linked arms.
Countless men turned to look at David with envy and
jealousy when they saw him walking closely with two almost-perfect ladies on either side.
They wanted nothing more than to replace David and be the happiest man in the world. No one understood the turmoil David felt.
David had many exquisite ladies pestering him, but it ached when he held himself back from the temptations and allure of those ladies.
Especially when Celia was too fragile to satisfy his needs, which made holding back take a lot of concentration and willpower.
Soon, the day was finally over. Both ladies had a great time.
Chapter 818
The next morning, the two ladies went to school together.
Bored and with nothing to do, David decided to call Hugo, the head of East League Capitals’ Capital City investment team, and had him gather all the heads of other regions for an online meeting.
Then, he went to the East League Capitals’ Capital City branch.
The goal of the meeting was of course to rush everyone to pick up the pace of development and to ignore everything else, including whether their actions would offend anyone or interfered with any powers, as David promised to deal with those issues himself.
All David cared about now was earning more lavish points as quickly as possible.
Once his strength increased and he advanced to being a super – peak God Ranker, then he would worry about the rest.
At the very least, he would not have to worry about the attack of newly awakened grandmasters like Bourne Chris.
Once the meeting was over, David left handsomely and under the admiring gazes of the employees in East League Capitals.
Three days later, David told Celia that he would have to leave for a day.
That night, he arrived at a high-end district in Capital City alone.
Tonight, he was going to make history.
His lavish points had reached the two thousand.
His mind power was at God level 8, and with the two thousand points, it would reach God level 10, which was the limit.
With both his body and mind power at the God level limit, David would become a superpeak God Ranker and arrive at a new level.
David sat on the bed and closed his eyes to collect himself.
It would be a lie to say he did not feel nervous or excited now, since he would truly be on top of the world once he took this step. After ten minutes, David opened his eyes.
jealousy when they saw him walking closely with two almost-perfect ladies on either side.
They wanted nothing more than to replace David and be the happiest man in the world. No one understood the turmoil David felt.
David had many exquisite ladies pestering him, but it ached when he held himself back from the temptations and allure of those ladies.
Especially when Celia was too fragile to satisfy his needs, which made holding back take a lot of concentration and willpower.
Soon, the day was finally over. Both ladies had a great time.
Chapter 819
“Celia, who is David to you?” Selena asked something else.
“A hero!” Celia gave it some thought before continuing, “He risked his life to save me once when I was most hopeless and desperate. Ever since then, he had always been a hero bestowed upon me by the Heavens. He’s the most perfect man in my eyes. In poverty or in wealth, in sickness or in health, I will never abandon him.”
Celia’s delicate features were filled with happiness and sweetness after she said that.
“Then would you be willing to sacrifice something for him?” Selena prodded. “As long as it’s what he needs, I’m willing to sacrifice anything,” Celia replied with determination.Selena immediately grew confident once she heard Celia’s reply.
Interpersonal relationships mattered a lot to David, so if she wanted him to accept her, Selena needed to get Celia to agree.
Of course, she would not fight Celia for David’s attention.
She and Celia might not have known each other for long, but Celia’s personality was something many men would find themselves drawn to.
In fact, even Selena herself was drawn to Celia’s personality and she believed that as long as she told Celia the truth, the latter would definitely be willing to make sacrifices because she was an understanding lady.
If David was unwilling to take a step in her direction, then she would take it for him.
She knew that her actions would anger David right now, but Selena believed that with time, David would come to thank her.
She knew that it was upsetting for men to have to hold themselves back all the time.
“Celia, you should be proud of David. Not only is he your hero, but he’s also everyone else’s. He has the weight of the entire universe on his shoulders, though not everyone knows about this. If anything were to happen to David, seventy billion people on earth and more than a hundred billion life forms would face a huge catastrophe.” “Could you be clearer, Miss Selena? I don’t think I understand you,” Celia asked. David had never told her these things before, and she never asked. Still, this did not mean Celia was uninterested in the things surrounding David.
“Alright. I’ll be more detailed, then.”
Selena proceeded to tell Celia about martial artists and even told her about the prophecy of the upcoming catastrophe.
She then told Celia that David would be the hero that would save the world from this catastrophe.
“Is that true, Miss Selena?” Celia asked in disbelief
“I wouldn’t lie about this,” Selena replied with certainty.
Celia fell silent. She did not expect David to have such high status and power.
As far as she was concerned, David was just a successful youth who had established his own business.She never thought to pay attention to things like status since she did not care about
David’s identity. Whether David was just a delivery boy, the owner of a large enterprise , or humanity’s savior, it did not change the fact that she deeply loved David.
Of course, Celia still felt extremely happy after hearing what Selena said since it meant that she had fallen in love with an outstanding man.
“Did you know, Miss Selena? David and I used to be high school classmates. During that time, I once slid and fell in the middle of the road as a huge truck was speeding toward me. I was terrified and I thought that I was going to die, but David happened to be delivering food nearby and he saved me from the truck.
He ended up spilling a dozen delivery boxes, but at that moment, I knew that David was going to be the man for me. “We were great friends from then on, until David got into a relationship with his girlfriend and started to distance himself from me. I was really sad back then, and I cried almost every night, but I slowly came to understand that love isn’t about having someone by your side, but rather knowing that he’s happy.
“After high school, I came back to Capital City for university. The only contact we had were the occasional blessing messages exchanged during festivities. Later, I found out that David and his girlfriend broke up, so I mustered the courage to confess to him. We got together afterward, but I never expected my happiness to come so soon.
“Therefore, it doesn’t matter to me who David really is. It’s all the same to me and I don’t really care. Even if he’s still a delivery boy, it wouldn’t change that I still admire him and love him the most.”
Celia simply told Selena about her and David’s story.
The corner of her lips quirked up as she retold the story, as she had only ever dreamt of and never expected to be with David
She had originally planned to give up as long as David was happy in life.
She had even entertained the thought of never marrying and dying alone since she could not accept the idea of any other man but David touching her.
Still, the Heavens had given her a chance to make her dreams come true and she now thought that she was the happiest woman in the world.
“Celia, do you know how great you are? Any man would love a girl like you, and I can see why David’s willing to suffer alone rather than risk putting you in harm’s way,” Selena exclaimed.
Celia’s smile fell the moment she heard what Selena said.
She asked nervously, “Miss Selena, is David alright? What do you mean “suffer’? Tell me!”
“Are you sure you want to know?” Selena asked.
“Yeah! Tell me, quickly,” Celia replied without hesitation.
“Are you sure, Celia? You’ll be in a lot of pain once you find out. And if David finds out that I told you, he’ll definitely blame me. With his current identity and strength , all it’ll take is a word from him and I’d be put through all eighteen layers of hell.” “Please , Miss Selena, tell me! Don’t worry, David won’t do anything to you as long as I’m here. He won’t even know you told him if I don’t say anything.”
Selena did not hesitate anymore. This was precisely what she wanted.
David loved Celia deeply and did not wish her any harm, but Celia loved David deeply as well.
According to her understanding of Celia’s character over the past few days, Celia would definitely compromise the moment she found out about the situation David was in.
This was Selena’s chance to make David hers, so she leaned down and whispered in Celia’s ear.
Chapter 820
A few minutes later, Selena moved away.
Celia fell into a deep internal struggle.
Selena’s words had truly shocked her. She did not know she could not bear David’s children.
Celia could not accept this reality.
Her mother even wanted her to get pregnant soon.
It made sense why she had yet to get pregnant despite being in a relationship with David for so long.
It was not uncommon to hear a female classmate in school temporarily stopping school because she had gotten pregnant.
Most of them had already gotten their marriage certificates too despite having yet to graduate from school. In reality, if Celia was willing to learn more about sexual activities, she could have, but she was just too innocent.
She had only ever seen people kiss on television her whole life and she had never tried to fully understand such things.
She assumed that being in a relationship with David ensured her pregnancy and she would then give birth to
David’s child.
She only learned that her assumptions had been wrong the whole time when Selena told her so earlier.
She tried to recall details of her time together with David and she seemed to recall seeing a sliver of disappointment in David’s eyes once.
Coupled with his other behaviors, Celia decided to believe what Selena said.
After a long while, Celia asked, “Miss Selena, then what should I do?”
“Celia, you’re just an ordinary person, your body is too fragile. David is slowly pushing beyond the physical boundaries of ordinary people, and that’s why this situation has occurred. You’re already an adult now, and it’s too late for you to start martial arts training,” Selena replied.
“That means I’ll never get to give birth to David’s child, right?” Celia shed a tear against her will.
She could not accept this. She wanted to bear David’s children. She wanted them to have many kids together.
“Don’t cry, Celia, There are other ways.”
“What way?” Celia quickly asked.
Selena then leaned down and whispered into Celia’s ear again.
Celia’s cheeks flushed and by the time Selena was done talking, Celia’s cheeks were blood red.
“Miss Selena, you’re a martial artist, right?” Celia suddenly asked.Selena was stunned.
She knew that her words would push Celia to think of some things as it was unavoidable.
Celia might be innocent, but she was not an idiot.
Selena had approached Celia with ulterior motives, though the previous few days had slowly changed her initial desire.
She initially wanted to get close to David and be with him. Not only because David was the most outstanding man she knew and that she liked him, but also because she wanted to pull the man into her family’s forces.
David did promise to help the King family when necessary, but there was no guarantee whether David would remember his promise once time drew on.
Thus, she needed a relationship to tie them together.
However, after getting to know Celia the past few days, Selena found a friend in Celia and now, she believed that even if she could not make David hers, she would still remain good friends with Celia and treat the latter genuinely.
David’s love for Celia could extend to the protection of the King family if Selena and Celia were great friends.
However, with the way things are now, Selena decided to tell Celia the truth.
After all, honesty was the most basic rule when it came to making friends.
“Yes. I am a martial artist but Celia…”
Selena wanted to explain herself, but Celia interrupted her.
“Miss Selena, there’s no need to explain anything, I don’t blame you. If not for you, I’d never have known how much David was sacrificing for me. Knowing him, he’d probably never tell me any of it at all. I’m not sad, all I feel is happy and guilty right now. Since you’re a martial artist, you should be able to endure it, right?” Celia spoke vaguely but Selena understood her anyway.
“I can. The King family is an ancient martial art aristocratic family. I’m pretty strong now, so I should be able to endure it,” Selena replied shyly.
She felt rather embarrassed hearing Celia ask so straightforwardly.
“Miss Selena, would you like to be with us?” Cèlia asked seriously.
“I’m sorry, Celia. I originally approached you because I wanted to be with David , but after getting to know you these days, I realized that you’re a really lovable girl and I understand why David loves you so much. If you could forgive me, can we continue being friends like this?” Selena asked, eyes red. She had truly been influenced by Celia’s kindness.
It explained why David could reject the marriage offer from someone as stunning as Lorraine and herself.
They were both slightly more beautiful than Celia , but their personalities did not hold a candle to the latter’s.
Selena accepted defeat.
“Miss Selena, I don’t blame you at all. If anything, I’m grateful to you. David means everything to me, and as long as he’s happy, so am I. I would die from guilt if I only found out how much he had sacrificed for me years into the future,” Celia patted Selena’s back and said.
“Thank you, Celia,” Selena said, flushed.
Her heart finally settled.
She felt like she had wronged Celia these days since the latter treated her with genuine kindness while she had approached the latter with ulterior motives.
Now that she had gotten Celia’s forgiveness, Selena’s heart settled.
More importantly, Celia had already agreed to her being with David, so all that was left was for David to agree as well.
David should have no reason to reject her anymore.
The two ladies rolled around in bed again and started saying things that would have men’s blood vessels bursting if they heard them.
Meanwhile, David still had no idea that Selena had told Celia everything and even gotten the latter’s approval.
It was unclear how he would react if he found out, but he would probably faint.
