Chapter 866
After taking care of Bourne and the Chris family’s core seniors, David exchanged some pleasantries with Mason and the heads of Somerland’s forces before rushing back to Somerland.
He knew Celia must have freaked out when she saw him on the livestream.
Therefore, he had to get back as soon as possible.
David did not want to take the plane with Mason and the rest either. It was too slow.
It was faster if he was alone.
After saying goodbye to the crowd, David shot straight into the sky, turned into a beam of light, and sped off toward Somerland Capital City.
Watching David’s leaving figure, Mason and the other late God Rankers looked at each other and shook their heads with a bitter smile.
They were not too far behind to catch up with David.
They had no idea how he trained.
He was young but so strong.
God must have sent him here to deal with the catastrophe.
Otherwise, they could not fathom this boy’s training speed, which was unprecedented.
Mason and Somerland’s forces set out to take care of the aftermath.
It was the end of the supreme powerhouse fight between two partial Super-God Rankers.
It ended with David defeating Bourne, and Somerland obtained the ultimate victory.
It was a result that most people were happy to accept.
Comparing David’s integrity and Bourne’s despicableness, everyone wanted David to win.
However, this excluded some forces which had bad blood with Somerland.
Of course, even if there was a grudge, they were trying to bury the hatchet.
Even the Haran family, who had been at loggerheads with Somerland for decades, was doing everything they could to repair their relationship with Somerland and obtain forgiveness.
Otherwise, they had no place in the huge world.
David soon returned to Somerland Capital City and landed directly in front of Celia’s house.
As soon as he opened the door, someone hugged him tightly while weeping. David smelled Celia’s familiar scent and comforted,” Good girl. Don’t cry. I’ll be fine.” “David, promise me you won’t do anything dangerous again,” Celia said as she sobbed.
“Okay! I promise I’ll take good care of myself.” “You gotta keep your word. I don’t know what I would do without you!” Selena stood behind Celia, quietly watching the two hug each other.
She also wanted to hug David and tell him how worried she was while laying in his arms.
Unfortunately, their relationship did not allow Selena to do so yet.
Holding Celia, David looked up and saw another tearful face.
Selena was even more attractive than usual.
The eyes on the beautiful face were red and misty because she had just cried. There were also tear stains on her beautiful face.
It broke his heart more.
“David, thank you for saving my grandfather and father,” said Selena
“Don’t mention it, Miss Selena. It’s nothing,” replied David.
“It may be nothing to you, but it’s a huge favor to the King family.”
David had just gotten back, and his phone kept ringing.
They were from Pearl, Julia, Aunt Sally, Aunt Diana,
Amelia, Charles, Sandy, and so on…
Anyone close to David or had his phone number called. Not to mention his Whatsapp.
Countless Whatsapp groups tagged David to get him to say something.
The global live stream was too influential.
It enabled countless people to witness martial artists and David’s strength.
The powerful firepower from 70 to 80 heavy helicopters could not even hurt David.
It was way beyond what the average person could fathom.
It was way more intimidating than what they saw on TV or in movies.
Night time.
chapter 867
Celia became less passive. It seemed that David’s incident today had scared her.
It was a pity that she was only a weak ordinary person.
Her physical condition was obvious.
“David, is it uncomfortable?” Celia asked feebly.
“How can that be? How can it be uncomfortable when being with you is joyous?” David replied with a smile.
“I know it’s uncomfortable for you. Why don’t we… What do you think?” Celia muttered.
“Stop overthinking and go to sleep!” David replied with a smile.
“Don’t worry, David. I won’t be jealous. Really, I won’t. As long as you have me in your heart, I will always be there for you and never leave,” Celia said earnestly. David sorrily tapped Celia on the nose and said, “Silly girl, what are you thinking? You’re all I need. Besides, didn’t we agree not to talk about it first?”
“But…”
Celia wanted to speak, but David interrupted, “Good girl! No buts. I don’t want to talk about it right now. I only want to spend a few days with you. I have a lot of things to do afterward.”
“Alright!”
Celia lay in David’s arms and soon fell asleep.
Seeing Celia asleep, David got up quietly, went to the bathroom, and took a cold shower to get rid of the heat in his body.
Even though he told Celia it was fine, he did feel a little uncomfortable.
David wondered if he would no longer be human as he became increasingly powerful.
What would he achieve when he ran out of money in the system?
What kind of existence would he become?
Would he still be human?
He could now crush mountain peaks and walk on water.
When the time came, he might be able to break the void and crush the stars!
Although it was unbelievable , David still looked forward to it.
The stronger he got, the more open-minded he became. Casually draped in a towel, David stepped out of the bathroom.
As soon as he got out, a figure came over.
David froze.
He was puzzled.
Celia’s villa had many rooms and several bathrooms.
It was almost midnight. Selena should not be here even if she wanted to go to the bathroom.
Despite his doubts, David said nothing.
The two quickly faced each other, and David moved out of Selena’s way and continued walking.
However, Selena walked up to him.
David moved to the other side, yet Selena still blocked him off.
“David, there’s something I want to tell you,” said Selena.
Selena was wearing pajamas, showing off her great figure.
The two were very close.
David could not stand the unique smell.
To avoid embarrassment , David quickly replied, “Let’s talk tomorrow, Miss Selena! I’m going to bed.”
Then David stepped to the other side to leave. However, Selena stopped in front of him and would not let him go.“I want to say it now.”
“At least let me put some clothes on! I don’t look appropriate,” David said with a bitter smile.
He had only put on a towel.
“It’s okay! I don’t mind,” Selena said, unfazed.
“But I do! What if Celia gets up and sees us?”
“Celia wouldn’t mind either.”
“Alright, it would have been fine if you didn’t mention it. Now, I’m angry. Hurry and change your clothes. We’ll talk in the living room downstairs later.” David said and disappeared.
A Dragon Ranker like Selena could not stop a partial Super -God level master who wanted to leave.
chapter 868
Ten minutes later.
David and Selena had changed their clothes and were sitting in the living room.
“What is it? Go on!” David said. “David, I want to apologize to you,” Selena said apologetically.
“Apologize for what?”
“I shouldn’t have told Celia about martial artists and the catastrophe.”
“Alright, let’s not talk about it. Even if you didn’t tell her, she was going to find out about the global live stream sooner or later. I only want you to be nice to Celia. She really thinks of you as a sister.”
“I know that! I’ve always thought of Celia as my own sister too. But I really like you,
David. Besides, to convince the King family to spare no effort in sending someone to help Somerland, I lied to my family that I’ve gotten together with you and begged them to help you. I have no choice. Otherwise, I don’t know what to tell my family.”
David was stunned by Selena’s words.
Thinking back to the situation, the hidden forces had all put him off.
Only the King family did their best to help him.
He thought the King family was principled.
Only now did he find out it was due to Selena.
She said he had gotten together with him. Did that make him the son-in-law of the King family?
The King family probably felt that it would be impossible to explain that they had nothing to do with him, so they could only help him.
Besides, David now realized that Augustus and Delmont had looked at him the way an elder looked at a son-in law when Bourne unmasked him during the day.
They looked more excited than Mason.
David was a little puzzled at that time.
He had no idea why the two were excited.
Now, he finally understood why.
David could not be mad at Selena for what she did.
Firstly, it was due to Celia.
He could see that Celia thought of Selena as her sister.
When he was not around, Selena would not only keep
Celia company but also keep her safe. Secondly, the people the King family sent had helped stabilize Somerland.
Somerland did benefit from it.
“So, what are you going to do now?” David asked after pondering for a moment.
“My dad asked me to invite you to the King family house,” muttered Selena.
“You want me to go home with you as your boyfriend and the son-in-law of the King family?”
“Can we?” Selena asked, looking at David with her big expectant eyes.
David was about to say no.
However, he was reluctant to do so when he saw Selena’s expectant gaze.
“Even if I help you this time, what about the future? The lie will get exposed sooner or later,” David said with a sigh.
“So you agree?” Selena immediately asked happily.
“What about the future?”
“We’ll talk about the future later, and the catastrophe is coming. We don’t even know if we can survive it! Besides, didn’t you tell Celia you’d think about us after the catastrophe?” Selena said, blinking her big beautiful eyes.
David could only admit that Selena’s strategy was right.
Starting with Celia was like a guy starting with his mother -in-law when he was looking for a girlfriend.
When it worked, it would work wonders.
Thus, David agreed to go back with Selena sometime.
However, it would take some time.
Selena was delighted to accept.
As long as David agreed, it did not matter how long she waited.
What she feared most was that David would refuse and not give her a chance.
Over the next few days, David got a taste of fame.
His popularity had reached its zenith.
Tens of billions of people around the world had watched the live stream and remembered his face vividly.
David was now recognized wherever he went.
chapter 869
He was always immediately surrounded by a crowd of people.
This was not only in Somerland but also everywhere else in the world.
David had become an icon all over the world. Even famous singers and movie stars had to step aside for him.
No one was as popular as David.
If anyone dared speak ill of David in public, there would be immediate outrage and even a fight.
David could only stay at home and not go anywhere.
If he went somewhere a little more crowded, he would be surrounded by people.
They would ask him for photos, autographs, and contact information.
More often than not, they wanted to be his disciple.
David could not teach others.
He was still an amateur himself.
He only got to where he was today because of the system.
It had also been revealed that David was the owner behind East League Capitals.
David planned this revelation.
He was now the strongest man in the world.
However, the catastrophe was still a sword hanging overhead.
It could drop at any moment.
He could not relax yet.
Now that David had reached his current strength, he had to take responsibility.
The confirmation of the owner behind East League Capitals sent their reputation soaring.
Numerous companies flocked to East League Capitals to get in touch with them.
They would accept any offer-no matter how harsh, just to work with East League Capitals. Many companies would even offer a third of their shares to East League Capitals for free if they asked.
This was just so they could get in touch with David.
East League Capitals was committed to a fair partnership. It was almost always the partner who profited more.
After all, David’s goal was not to make money but to spend it.
It also made many people happy that David had won.
If Bourne had won, the whole world would suffer from the Chris family’s bullying.
East League Capitals began expanding quickly. Besides that, they were building branches all over the world, regardless of the cost.
David would invest in whoever reached out to East League Capitals.
He even paid more.
It gave people a better impression of East League Capitals.
In only one week, East League Capitals had invested in thousands of companies, and the list kept growing. David’s lavish points had also soared for the first time in history.
David was amazed at the speed of its growth. After spending more than a week with Celia, David planned to leave quietly. He first returned to South River Province to meet Aunt Sally and Aunt Diana.
Then, he needed to see Pearl.
She had been the busiest person during this period.
David asked her not to work so hard and leave everything to their staff, but Pearl just refused to do so. She probably thought it was the only way she could help David.
This was what made her valuable.
If she lost her value, how would she be qualified to stand beside David?
chapter 870
The global live stream had brought David from behind the scenes to the forefront of the media, where he was recognized by countless people and became the idol of many teenagers.
Ordinary people witnessed for the first time how strong martial artists could be.
Not only could they fly freely in the air, but they were also invulnerable to bullets.
Even heavy firearms like armor-piercing bullets and small artillery could not hurt them.
It was amazing.
Countless people were envious. They wished they could be the same.
However, David preferred not to be famous if he had a choice.
David thought keeping a low profile was the way to go. It was better to achieve great things quietly. Unfortunately , it was out of David’s hands, so he could only accept it.
Being famous did not do David any good.
Instead, it had caused him a lot of trouble and gave him many restrictions.
He had to be careful wherever he went.
He was scared of being recognized.
David had not been idle in the next few days.
He had all forces gather clues about the catastrophe.
However, the result they got made David depressed.
There was no substance to it.
In other words, they knew nothing except for the event, the time frame in which it occurred, and the name.
David even wondered if the people from ancient times were playing a prank.
However, the forces believed in the catastrophe.
It was not only recorded in history but also in ancestral teachings, which were handed down from generation to generation. Thus, David could only force himself to believe that the catastrophe existed.
Without knowing the details of the catastrophe, he could not make detailed plans.
David could only improve himself as soon as possible and do his best.
Fortunate, East League Capitals’ development was also in full swing, providing David with sufficient lavish points.
This was the only consolation for David.
Nearly half a month after the battle when David quietly returned to South River Province’s South River City.
David was slowly becoming a cult figure, but he was still the same person inside.
He did not want his friends and relatives to think that he had changed and had become distant.
Therefore, he decided to meet up with people he was close to.
At least this would make it clear that he was not that kind of person.
After arriving in South River City, David first met Aunt Sally, Aunt Diana, and their families.
Besides Aunt Sally and Aunt Diana, who were able to talk to David and give him a few words of advice, his other uncles, aunts, and cousins dared not speak to David.
They were afraid of offending him.
After all, David killed people without hesitation on the live stream.
Though the people he killed were villains, they were still frightened.
