Chapter 821
The next day, David looked at himself in the mirror when he washed up and noticed some changes.
“Hmm…
I look more handsome and charming now.’ .
He did not have any bulging muscles, but the sheer power in his lean body was strong enough to destroy the entire world.
Considering his current state, David decided to call it partial Super-God level since he had already surpassed God Rank while the next realm would be supergod.
However, since David had yet to achieve Super-God level, he could only be considered partial Super-God Rank. If he wanted to break through this realm and achieve true Super-God Rank, he would have to accumulate at least a hundred thousand lavish points like before.
Which converted to around ten trillion dollars.
Not that David worried since he was already strong enough to truly stand on top of the world and no one would dare to ask him where his money came from no dragged off to be tested on.
No one would dare to, nor have the ability to, drag him off anyway.
According to David’s analysis, even if the grandmaster of the Chris family were to awaken, the man was not be strong enough either.
At most, Bourne would be at partial Super-God level, the same level he was at.
There was also the possibility that the grandmaster’s level was lower than partial Super-God too since he had been asleep for centuries and his body still needed to use energy when it was dormant.
Even if the amount used was infinitesimal, a few centuries ‘ worth of energy spent would still accumulate to quite the amount.
Still, there was no way the grandmaster was at Super God Rank, or it would not have taken him so much trouble to conquer the three major forces.
A mere shudder from a Super-God master would have the whole world kneeling at his feet.
As such, David could now spend money as he wished.
He knew that partial Super-God Rank was insufficient when it came to dealing with the catastrophe , so he had to continue spending. After washing up and eating a simple breakfast, David
decided to give Pearl a call and tell her to quicken the business of East League Communications.
He wanted coverage over the entire world, excluding the deep seas.
David wanted every corner of the world able to receive radio signals, including areas with strong magnetic fields.
It was going to be a huge project and a lot of money was required.
After all, a single signal tower could only provide coverage for a limited area, and Earth was huge.
She could only imagine how many signal towers would have to be built. Since many places did not have public roads, it meant human labor was required to transport building materials.
This was going to require huge expenditure, and after some thought, David realized that the lavish points earned from this project could easily help him break through to Super-God Rank.
Pearl did not hesitate and executed David’s plan.
In Pearl’s view, the initial investment was huge for this project but would result in gratifying returns once the construction was complete.
Especially when she realized that the whole world would communicate under East League Communications.
They were monopolizing the global telecommunications industry.
Most importantly, this was a project no one else could replicate, nor could other countries try to block as it was a technology that only East League Capitals had. This project would hold power over every country in the world, and once it succeeded, East League Capitals would instantly become the wealthiest and most powerful financial group in the world.
Even without these benefits, Pearl would still follow through with David’s requests without hesitation.
She did not understand David before, but after what happened with the Mosley family last time, she found herself beginning to understand David.
Pearl now believed that everything David did was with reason and all she had to do was follow through.
Falconia, the Chris family’s ancestral home.
Bourne was currently sitting in a large wooden tub. The tub was filled with water, bubbling with all sorts of gas. Within the water were all sorts of treasures of Heaven and Earth.
Bourne himself was submerged in the bubbling medicinal water as he absorbed the medicinal effects from the treasures of Heaven and Earth, trying to use them to replenish the energy he had lost during his centuries of dormancy. His body had achieved partial Super-God Rank centuries ago before he slept, so he was not fearful that the medicinal effects would be too much for his body.
Bourne’s current body was completely different from how it was when he first woke up.
Back then, he looked like a shriveled mummy, but his body had recovered a great amount after all the treatment these days.
He was still slender, but no longer shriveled. The amount of energy within his body was also downright terrifying.
Half an hour later, Bourne had absorbed all the medicinal effects in the water and he slowly rose from the tib.
He emerged from the water but remained cross-legged in the air above the tub.
A moment later, Bourne opened his eyes and exhaled, then flew over to the side. Two young and pretty ladies quickly approached him and wiped his body with soft towels.
Then they were about to help him into his clothes when he grabbed their arms.
Bourne had already held himself back for a long time.
He had not touched any ladies since he woke up because his body had yet to recover, and such activities would only cause him great harm, so he had not dared.
After such long treatment, his body had somewhat recovered, and he could slightly let go of his self-control.
A long while later, Bourne walked out with his clothes on to the location where the core members of the Chris family were waiting courteously.
They had waited for almost a day, but none of them dared to complain. After all, this was the Chris family’s grandmaster, someone who had managed to surpass the peak God Rank a few centuries ago.
Under his leadership, they are certain that the Chris family would achieve newfound glory.
“Bieber! Inform the other three forces that we are going to Somerland in three days. I want to reset the Earth’s resources to face the catastrophe. Those who follow me will emerge glorious, but those who are against me shall die. If Somerland dares to fight back, they will be killed,” Bourne said.
“Yes, Grandmaster ! Congratulations on your recovery, Grandmaster! May the Chris family’s glory brighten the world again,” Bieber exclaimed excitedly. “Congratulations on your recovery , Grandmaster ! May the Chris family’s glory brighten the world again,” Every core member of the Chris family shouted excitedly at the same time.
David still had no idea of the danger Somerland was about to face.
Not that he would feel nervous if he knew. If anything, he would only feel excited. Ever since he broke through God Rank and achieved partial Super-God Rank, he had wanted to meet this grandmaster of the Chris family.
Chapter 822
That night, Celia laid in David’s arms exhausted, but she did not fall asleep. Instead, she stared at David until he asked, “What’s wrong?” Celia would usually be asleep already by now.
“You’re so good to me, David,” Celia hugged David tightly and murmured. After learning some things about David from Selena last night, she now knew that the man was not only the most powerful person in Somerland, but he was also strong enough to stand on top of the world and was destined to protect all of humanity.
She did not care about David’s identity, but knowing that her boyfriend was extremely successful made her feel very proud.
Celia knew that she was just an ordinary girl and had no advantage in comparison to someone like Selena.
She was already extremely happy that David loved her so much, but it was a shame that she could not satisfy him or bear his children.
These things cut deep into her heart like thorns.
Celia knew that Selena spoke the truth, and this made her heart ache more for David.
The man she loved so deeply was willing to endure the stress and suffering himself just so he could provide her with the best.
“Silly girl. I’m the one the Heavens blessed you with,” David hugged Celia tightly and said.
The two hugged each other tightly, and after a few minutes when David thought that Celia had fallen asleep, he got up to go to the bathroom.
However, he had just moved a little when Celia looked up at him again.
“What’s wrong? Why aren’t you sleeping tonight?” David asked.
“David, does it hurt a lot?” Celia asked, her cheeks pink. “Does what hurt?” David asked confusedly.
“I read some books about this, and they said that if men don’t finish, it hurts for them while women can’t get pregnant either,” Celia replied awkwardly. When David heard what Celia said, he understood immediately that Selena must have told Celia something.
After all, Celia was too innocent to pay attention to such things or realize this problem.
It should have taken a few more years until after they got married and still remained childless for her to take the initiative and find out the reason for this. David’s expression darkened instantly.
‘How dare she.
‘Did she think that just because she’s from the King family I’d let her off so easily?’
To David, the King family was as easily annihilated as they were to be left alive.
Chapter 823
On second thought, David realized that he was wrong.
The King family had provided undeniable contribution when Somerland was in chaos some time ago. Every other family was superficially placating Somerland, but the King family had proved their unbridled support.
As a member of the Somerland Parliament and the captain of the Somerland Discipline Team, David could not pick a fight with Selena or the King family over such personal matters.
Doing so would only chill everyone else’s hearts.
However, that did not mean he would not give Selena a warning, or there was no guarantee what she would tell Celia next time.
It was only a matter of time before someone as innocent as Celia picked up such bad habits.
“Silly girl! What’re you talking about? I’m very happy with you, why would I be in pain? Don’t think too much, okay? Go to sleep,” David patted Celia’s head and consoled her.
“Don’t lie to me, David. I know. I didn’t understand these things before, but I do now.”
“Did Selena tell you something? Don’t listen to her or spend so much time with her. Who knows if she approached you because she really wanted to be your friend or for something more.”
“Miss Selena is great. Yes, she had her reasons, but she didn’t hurt anyone in the process. If not for her, I’d never know what you were enduring for me. I should be grateful to her instead.
“Silly girl! You’re only saying that because you don’t know what her true intentions are. Let me tell you, then. She’s here to steal me away from you. Her family needs my help, so they’re trying to tie me to them through marriage. That’s why she approached you. Do you still think she’s good now? Are you still grateful?” David asked with a chuckle. Since Celia already knew about these things, then David decided to tell Celia everything.
He was certain that once Celia learned about Selena’s intentions, she would start to avoid Selena.
Not even best friends could change the fact that Celia loved him.
“Yeah, I know! But I still think that Miss Selena’s a great person. I still want to thank her, and I’ve agreed to share you with her,” Celia replied seriously, her cheeks flushing red
‘What?!’
David looked at Celia in shock.
‘I must be hallucinating.
‘What did Celia just say?
‘Did she say she already agreed to share me with Selena?
‘Is this even real?
‘What the hell did Selena tell Celia?
‘How the hell did she get Celia to agree to something like this?!’
David quickly shook his head. “Stop joking about this. No way, I would never! Go to sleep!”
“David, I’m not joking! Miss Selena is a martial artist like you, she’s the only one who can satisfy you. If the three of us are together, you’ll be able to have children of your own.”
Celia’s cheeks were red, but her tone was certain. She did not seem to be joking. David also turned serious.
He looked at Celia and replied seriously, “Celia, stop thinking about this. I only want you, and you are enough for me. As for children, we’re still young and we haven’t even graduated yet. It’s way too early to start thinking about this now.”
“It’s not! David, I don’t want you to suffer every day because of me. I know that you think you’re respecting me, caring for me, and showing that you love and protect me, but the more you decline, the more uneasy and guilty I feel, and the more my heart hurts. Please , David , just accept Miss Selena, okay? I like her a lot too, she’s the prettiest lady I’ve ever seen,” Celia said excitedly.
David hugged Celia tightly.
He felt touched by how understanding Celia was and how she always had his best interests in mind.
David thought that it was worth it to be with Celia for the rest of his life, even if she was an ordinary person.
He thought back to when he and Sarah used to date.
David remembered being careful with her every day, terrified that he would accidentally do something to invoke her ire.
They celebrated her birthday once, and David remembered spending the money he saved from three months’ worth of part-timing to buy her a new phone.
Only for her to find someone else anyway.
Now that David was with Celia, he finally understood how happy it felt dating someone who was understanding and attentive.
Chapter 824
The two of them hugged each other tightly for a few more minutes before David finally spoke up. “Can we not talk about this anymore, Celia? There’s something important I have to deal with these days, and I don’t have the time to think about this.”
“Is it about the catastrophe?” Celia looked up and asked.
“Selena told you about this too? What the hell does she want?” David asked angrily.
He did not want the people around him to know about martial artists and the catastrophe because he did not want them to overthink it.
He was fine dealing with the pressure alone.
Yet, here Selena was, telling Celia everything.
This angered David greatly. This King girl was causing him more trouble than she was worth.
“Yeah. She said that you’re not only my hero, but all of humanity’s and life on Earth’s as well. I’m very proud of you, David, because you’re mine,” Celia said with admiration.
With that, most of David’s anger dissipated.
He was just a twenty-two-year-old youth, and he had yet to even graduate from university. The fact that the person he loved admired him so much made him very happy, so he was no longer angry about the fact that she had learned about this.
“Celia, since Selena already told you this, then you should know that I don’t have the headspace to think about children at all. I have more important things to worry about and this catastrophe is lingering over our heads like a guillotine . I don’t know when it’s going to drop and if I want to protect you, I have to work harder.”
“David, are we going to die once the catastrophe comes?”
“What are you saying? Don’t be afraid. I’m here, aren’t I? I’ll protect you. I’m so powerful right now that even Selena’s family, strong as they are, still need my help to deal with this catastrophe. But I’ll let you in on a secret, okay? I actually hid my true strength from them, so no one knows how powerful I actually am.” David comforted.
“Alright. With you here, I’m not afraid at all! Really. If worse comes to worst, we’ll just die together. I should’ve died a few years ago if not for you, so I’m already very happy that I get to spend the last days of my life with you,” Celia replied confidently.
David knocked Celia’s forehead and said, “Don’t say such inauspicious things. No one’s dying, okay? We’re going to live a long life together with a ton of children.
Stop thinking about this and go to sleep.”
Celia gave it some thought and replied, “Alright, then. We’ll talk about this later when you’re ready. Don’t go punishing Miss Selena, though. She’s my best friend now, so don’t scare her away. I don’t know where else I’ll be able to find such a pretty martial artist to be my friend
again.”
David chuckled wryly in response. “Yes, yes, alright. I won’t punish her, okay? Go to sleep, you have class early tomorrow.”
“D-David, do you want…” Celia’s cheeks her red as she whispered.
This was the first time she took the initiative, and she was extremely shy. Her face and neck were flushed hot and blood red, and David felt desire stir within him when he saw how alluring Celia was.
He quickly suppressed it, though, because even if Celia offered, he knew that her fragile ordinary body would not be able to endure it. David could not agree without thinking about her.
“Sleep, silly! Don’t force yourself or you won’t be able to go wake up for class tomorrow and everyone’s going to laugh at you. We can do more during the weekend.”
“Okay,” Celia replied with a pout.
The two fell asleep quickly in each other’s embrace, unlike Selena who could not fall asleep in the guest room.
She knew that with David’s intellect, the man surely knew that she was the culprit.
She was afraid of David’s wrath.
The next day, David made breakfast for the two ladies and then woke them up for school.
He did not wake Selena up personally since she was a lady, but rather woke Celia up and told Celia to wake Selena up instead.
Back when he was still with Sarah, David would bring breakfast to Sarah’s classroom every morning.
Sometimes he would still run out to buy supper in the middle of the night and send it to her dorm lobby.
From time-to-time Sarah would still pick on him and look down on him.
After breaking up with Sarah , David slowly understood that it did not matter how much you gave, a woman who had no feelings for you would never be touched and only take you for granted.
Chapter 825
If she did not love you, she would take everything you did for granted.
Such was the ending of a simp, as all their efforts reduced to nothing in the end. Up until this moment , David still could not say for sure whether Sarah loved him or not.
Perhaps she did, but that was before university started.
They were still in Shu City then, and Sarah had yet to lose herself in the colorful world outside.
What David regretted the most now was distancing himself from Celia. He thought that there was too big a difference between them and that he was not good enough for her, so he ignored her and chose to be with Sarah instead.
Now that the heavens were giving him another chance, he decided that he would treasure Celia and give her the best he could afford. He would love her only and protect her from any harm.
After the two ladies got out of bed sleepily and washed up, they sat down and started to eat breakfast.
Selena did not dare to look at David at all because she knew Celia must have already talked to David the previous night.
David was not an idiot, so he naturally knew that she was the one who told Celia in the first place.
All Selena felt now was nervousness and fear. After all, considering David’s identity and strength, not even the whole King family would survive making an enemy out of him, let alone Selena herself.
However, Selena had already made her move and there was no turning back.
David had also promised to help the King family should they need it.
‘Someone as powerful as David will keep his promise, right?
‘And what if my plan succeeds?
‘David still needs children of his own, and a huge family needs a considerable amount of legitimate children.’
There are many children under each branch of the King family, but only a select few of them were actually outstanding
Such was the case for many huge families. By producing many legitimate children, there would be a few among them who were truly outstanding. A family with too few legitimate children might suffer if those children all happened to be weak, and the family would then slowly meet its end. Even if her father Augustus was deeply in love with her mother, the family had still sought out a few other women for her father to produce more children. As such, she had seven half–siblings, all from different mothers.
Her father was very unwilling at that time, but he had no choice but to accept the family’s order.
This was also why Selena was willing to bet on this.
She did not believe that David and Celia would spend their whole lives together. They would not have any children like this, and even if David was willing, she knew that Celia would not be.
