The Strongest Man in the Universe

The Strongest Man in the Universe
Chapter 124



That afternoon, David and Celia went to attend their class. They still did not know about the impending calamity, where they were the protagonists.


While the students were in class, an article appeared on the Greenwood University campus forum.


“Celia Young, the prettiest girl at Greenwood University, is seen dating a stranger on campus!”


A photo of Celia's head leaning against David's shoulder was also attached. This surprised the forum participants, and the post got ten thousand views and thousands of comments.


This post instantly became the hottest post on the Greenwood University forum, and students started sharing it.


The post also began circulating in chat groups throughout the class. Everyone was wondering who this man was. People started looking for David.


In the end, thanks to some classmates in David's new class who saw him go with Celia, there is a conclusion as to who the mysterious stranger is. Thus, another post appeared on the university forum.


“The prettiest girl in Greenwood University was taken by SRU exchange student, David Lidell.”


This is a short but surprising post. At Greenwood University, any article that somehow relates to Celia, especially one that is gossip-themed, will always be trending.


There used to be rumors about how one of the Fantastic Four from Greenwood University, Hanley Chasez became Celia's boyfriend. There were even rumors about how Hanley openly claimed Celia as his goddess, and did not allow others to see her.


None of those rumors were confirmed, unlike this time when the picture was taken, making these rumors more believable. This resulted in a large crowd of Greenwood University students gathering outside David's class when the class ended so they could see the mysterious man who had stolen Celia's heart.


David and the other SRU exchange students were confused by the students' gazes, as they did not log into the Greenwood University forum nor were they in any classroom group chats.


This was why they had absolutely no idea what was going on, they only felt many pairs of eyes staring at them, especially David.


David's sudden furore has an external effect that increases attention to Amelia, Ava, and Luna. The large crowd realized that the three women from SRU were also very beautiful, and understood the saying about beauty in the South River from the very beginning.


Many men stared at Amelia and the other two beautiful women, which meant Howard received the least attention among the five exchange students.


Celia hasn't admitted anything yet. He wants to admit their guess, but David has yet to confirm their relationship and David wants him to wait. However, the fact remained that he did not outright deny anything. Thus, more rumors began to spread on campus. But it didn't affect David.


After the class ended, he did not wander around and directly left the campus. He had to continue earning luxurious points, and had no time to waste.


As soon as he left the door of the university, he went straight to his parking lot and left. As David leaves, a black MPV follows him.


It was ten o'clock in the evening when David returned to the hotel. Even though he gained more luxury points today, rising to 325 points today, he still thought it was too slow.


He called Pearl and told her to assign several members to the Capital so that she could simultaneously run businesses in two international metropolitan cities.


Pearl doesn't really understand what David wants to do, because East League International is already developing at a fairly high pace. They have invested over 100 billion in about a month and have become a much sought-after partner for investment options.


Not to mention that these investments have passed through rigorous checks and most of them promise huge profits in the future.


However, David seemed rather unhappy as he continued to urge him to spend more money on investments.


This puzzled him greatly, and he wondered how much money this young superior had. But his confusion will not hinder his work. If his boss asks the employee to be transferred to the Capital, then that is what he will do.


Several senior employees were immediately dispatched and would arrive at the Capital the next day to follow David's instructions.


The next day, Oliver calls David to meet. Oliver wants to persuade David to attend class, but David promises that he will donate more money to the school for development when he returns.


Oliver soon changes his mind and promises that he will handle everything for David so that he no longer has to worry about college. As he thought, money is everything. There is nothing that money cannot do, and if there is such a thing, just offer more money.


In the morning, David meets the people Pearl sent. It was a team of nearly fifty employees. David immediately took them to a Benz dealer and bought them each an MPV to make their trip more comfortable.


Later, he takes the team to the Starry Night Hotel and hands over the contract and materials from his car regarding the expensive house he bought recently. After this, he had them transfer ownership of the houses on behalf of the company. A team of fifty employees enter the lobby of the Starry Night Hotel with David.


“Halo, Mr Lidell, how can I help you?”


Ask the lobby manager of the tall, young, and beautiful Starry Night Hotel,


David is a check-in guest to a magnificent luxury suite. People like him were usually rich and powerful people, so they had to do their best to serve him.


“How many rooms are there in lantaiku?” ask David.


“Mr Lidell, you are currently living in the highest class luxury suite. There are a total of eighty-eight rooms on the floor of your room." replied the beautiful manager Lucille.


David turned around and looked at his employees to ask, “Do you mind sharing a room in a group of two? Suite pretty big.”


“Mr Lidell, just ordinary room is enough, no need for such expensive room!”


“Yes, Mr Lidell! We don't have to live in such an expensive place. Random space is pretty good." said the leader of this small team.


They were all senior employees who had a certain understanding of their generous superiors. They were not surprised by his suggestion, but they still rejected him out of courtesy.


“You're already here, so just listen to me. I will set everything.” said David.


Then she turned to the beautiful manager and said, “I want to order the whole floor. Can you discuss it with other guests and see if they are willing to move to another room?”


Lucille felt blood rushing to her head. He already had an idea of what David wanted to do when he heard him ask his employees if they would mind sharing a room, but it still felt like a dream when she heard David ask her this.


He had never seen such a generous boss who would book an entire floor of a magnificent luxury suite for his employees. He had worked at the Starry Night Hotel for several years and had seen many rich men, but this was the first time he had met someone like David. It costs over five million just for one night.


He wondered what company David owned, because he also wanted to work in it. He knew he would enjoy much better employee benefits under the likes of David than any other company.


“Please wait, Mr. Lidell, let me check it.” Lucille immediately ran to the front desk and began to ask the others.


David brought the team.


It's a big transaction. He was afraid David would move to another hotel if he didn't like his advice. He'll be screwed in that case, because David spends over five million a night per room. David is a big customer.


“Sure!” David thought about it and answered.


With that, he instantly booked the entire floor for half a month and climbed upstairs under the voracious gaze of the beautiful server.


Upon returning to his room, David realizes that he has earned another luxury point. Total of 326 points. Now that his employees were here, he could start spending money freely.


Unlike Pearl, she did not investigate before she spent the money. He just buys whatever he wants. To be honest, he did not even want to invest in any company. Instead, the plan is to buy the house directly.


After all, the Capital real estate was extremely expensive, costing tens or hundreds of millions for a house but only created small ripples in its luxury points.


Considering this is a magnificent luxury suite, all three meals are delivered to the rooms for free. The food was delicious so David did not have to take his employees out to eat.


After taking a two-hour break, David started to put together a team and everyone started to work. He handed over some real estate agents to the team and asked them to contact the people themselves.


All they had to do was tell him to pay after the contract was confirmed. In this way, his workload was very light, and he no longer had to look for these agents himself. After everyone is assigned, David receives an unknown call.


“Halo? Is this Mr David Lidell?” A man asked.


“It's true! And you?” David answered and asked.


“I plan to sell the house, but I don't want to hire an agent. I want to talk to you personally about pricing because real estate agents are too unreliable and expensive." replied the man.


“What kind of house do you sell? And how much is it?” David asked again.


He is not very wary about this, as he has been buying several houses lately and has left his number on some real estate agents. Therefore, there is nothing strange about the seller getting his number. As long as the house was not too cheap, he would consider it.


“This is the mansion my ancestors left me. They used to be court officials and nobles at the time, so the furniture and structures were made with high-grade ebony. Nothing was printed even though it had been for how many years, so I definitely sold it at a high price. Ordinary people can't afford a house like this, and I only contacted you because I heard that you've spent a lot of money to buy a mansion lately.”


“Sure. I'm free now, can you show me his house?” David thought about it and answered.


If the man is telling the truth, then this is a home worth seeing. He had bought a house that used to belong to a prince two days ago, and if this house was built in a good location, it would have to be sold for at least a billion dollars.


David is currently buying properties like crazy. In addition to earning abundant points to increase his strength, David also made preparations for the day that the system might disappear. At the time, he still owned these houses and enough money to maintain a comfortable lifestyle for the rest of his years.


“Ya sure!” The other party quickly agreed.


Both sides agreed on a place to meet. When David arrived, he saw a well-dressed man in his thirties waiting for him. When he saw the person, David's powerful mind power immediately caught the other party's sly gaze and nervousness.


'uh? Something's wrong with him David thought


David knew that this person did not call him to sell the house but for other reasons. However, David did not understand what this person wanted to do. Does he want to kidnap David and make David pay the ransom because of how generous David spent the money recently?


David didn't expose the man because he was curious about what he wanted to do. David was brave and skilled now, and he could easily fight against a hundred gangsters without breaking a sweat.


After meeting, the other party did not even tell David his name before bringing David home. The person promises that this will be a short distance and there is no need to drive.


Obviously something is wrong.


As David expected, the man took him to a quiet place and stopped in a narrow alley. David wondered if this was where they would threaten him to give his money to them. David started scanning his surroundings.


‘What? There's no one else? How did that happen?’


David expects there to be at least a few dozen men, not just one. No matter how David researched the person in front of him, the man facing him did not look like a powerful master.


“Enough. Just tell me what's going on. I don't have time to waste with you here. Explain yourself before I hit you!” david said, standing behind the man.


The man did not even respond, choosing to run forward and disappear in a corner of the building. David chuckles. He's faster than the world champion. Just as he was about to give chase, he felt a gust of cold wind enter his mind as his hair stood up.


David knew this feeling. She had felt it when she saved Celia from the truck years ago. This was a feeling that only appeared when he was about to die.


The strength of his mind was much weaker back then, so this feeling was not very strong, but now the strength of his mind had grown several times stronger than before, this cold gust of wind made him cold to his bones. If he hesitates any minute, David will die.


Without a second thought, David jumped up and dodged two to three meters to the side.


“Bang!”


After he jumped up, before he landed, a huge explosion sounded beside his ears. The ground where he stood just a moment ago was now left with a fist-sized hole. David turned to look at the situation behind him and narrowed his eyes.


'A sniper shot! Which is also very strong!'


If the bullet was able to leave a fist-sized hole in the concrete floor ten centimeters thick, the bullet would be able to blow half the body to pieces if it hit someone.


As a master at Dragon Rank, David began to break out in cold sweat. This is not for ransom, this is murder.


After landing, David did not waste a single second of time before jumping in another direction.


As he had expected, there was another crater where he stood.


After landing this time, David also did not hide and started running towards the person who shot him.


With David's current strength, it was impossible to shoot him with a bullet as he ran. The only chance the perpetrator had was to open fire as he stood still.


When David ran at full speed, ordinary people would only see shadows from the corners of their eyes.
