The Strongest Man in the Universe

Chapter 125

About eight hundred yards from David, in an abandoned building less than twenty stories tall, a tall stranger watched as David ran towards him.

This man, Tucker, put the sniper rifle back in his hand into his box and started muttering angrily to himself.

He did not expect to miss his target at all, especially when he had never missed a single shot before. He failed this time!

He was the top forty-eight assassin on the dark web. His combat ability might not be the strongest, but he was definitely the top ten among snipers and was good at disguise.

As far as he was concerned, no one was strong enough to remain unharmed when he shot them. No matter whether the target was a master in Tiger Rank or Dragon Rank, they would still die when shot.

Therefore, he accepted this mission so arrogantly.

Many people did not dare to accept the mission in the Capital of Somerland, but he was not afraid. All he had to do was shoot his target and then go undercover, and there was nothing wiser than that. He's not like any other killer.

He did not kill his targets by beating them. He only needed a good spot and to lure his target to stand right where he was about to shoot.

As far as he was concerned, a billion was more than enough to kill a Peak Tiger Ranker. Therefore, he was very surprised that he had failed. After quickly storing his sniper rifle, he threw the suitcase on his back and turned to leave. Tucker moved quickly, and with three to four steps, he had descended the stairs.

David might not know where his opponent was exactly, but from the trajectory of the bullet, he could measure the general direction in which the sniper was located. This is because snipers tend to choose the highest point in the area. As for how David knew about this, well, he might not be a sniper but he had seen a sniper on a television show.

David arrives at the first floor of the abandoned building. A few hundred meters was no big deal to him now given his current ability. It's just that in the area there are many dilapidated houses and uneven roads, so it took him longer than necessary to get there.

Just as David arrived at the bottom floor, he saw a tall man in a baseball cap walking quickly out of the building with a rectangular box on his back.

Goddamnit! David was angry. He did not need to ask to know that this was the person who had shot him. Since this fellow wanted to kill him, David did not wait a moment longer before he went to beat up the man.

"Bang!”

With the strength of his body and the strength of his mind developing to the maximum, a heavy aura of pressure flowed out.

David rushed towards the man who was still at the exit of the stairs. Without holding back, he landed a special skill from the Eight Extremity Fist.

'Eight Extremity Fist, Metal Mountain Shove!'

Tucker muttered angrily to himself as he ran down the stairs. Just when he arrived at the corner of the stairway exit on the ground floor, he saw his target appear before his eyes. Tucker was dumbfounded and he quickly turned around to run up the stairs again.

He could not win in close combat against a Tiger Rank master, so his only choice was to create distance and shoot his target.

He had more than just a sniper rifle in his hand.

However, just as he was about to turn around and leave, he felt a suffocating pressure crawl over him.

‘What?’

Before Tucker could react, David had already appeared before him.

Bang out!

Tucker felt a huge force hit himself.

“Pfft!”

A mouthful of blood gushed out from Tucker's mouth while his internal organs felt like they were being crushed. The pain almost knocked him unconscious as his body flew backwards.

David pushes Tucker with his body but does not pull back the force used, so Tucker hits the wall behind him again. This time, there was also a loud crashing sound.

A huge hole that was more than ten centimeters deep appeared on the concrete wall.

One could not imagine how much power David gave to this blow. Tucker immediately felt his spine being crushed by the impact.

"Pfft!”

Another mouthful of blood spewed out.

The two broke through the wall and fell to the floor on the other side. The main difference between them was that Tucker was left lying on the floor with a breath of breath and on the verge of death while David stood upright on the ground.

Tucker wanted to get up but could only move his head, his body unable to exert any strength.

Slowly, Tucker had consumed all his energy and endless darkness enveloped him. David walked up to Tucker and tried to feel his pulse.

“F*ck... he's dead!"

'God, why are you so weak? I haven't even asked who sent you to kill me!'

Although this was his first assassination attempt, David was somewhat unaffected by it. He knew that if he didn't kill, he himself would be killed. Seeing this killer's face, David realizes that this person is a stranger.

The Falcon is in charge of things regarding foreigners causing trouble in the country, so David immediately calls the Vulture Team Captain, Lucas.

He tells Lucas that a stranger came to kill him and used a very powerful weapon to do so. Then he sent his address to Lucas.

Lucas told David to stay where he was because he was going to leave quickly. After about twenty minutes, David saw a military helicopter flying towards him before stopping on the roof of an abandoned building. Soon, Lucas and a few others arrive before David.

“Master!” shouted David.

“What happened?” Lucas asked.

David goes on to tell Lucas what happened.

“Find out who he is!” Lucas tells a female team member who came with him.

“Good, Master!”

Three female team members arrived in front of Tucker and took out a bottle of chemical solution and poured it over Tucker's face before cleaning his face with clear water. Next, they took out the scanner and scanned Tucker's face before connecting the scanner to the laptop. After a while, a female team leader reported,

“We found it, Sir. The name of this man was Tucker, the top forty-eight assassin on the dark web. He was quite famous among assassins because despite only having the strength of a novice Tiger Ranker, he was very skilled with all kinds of firearms.”

“Who did you hurt until this guy hired someone from the dark web to kill you?

they must have had a lot of money" Lucas told David.

David's first thoughts were Morris and Gunther because they were alive but missing. As far as he was concerned, only the two of them had a blood feud with him.

“How can I know? I'm just a student, who can I hurt?” David said desperately.

David takes Lucas and the others to where he first dodged a bullet to the final location of his fight with Tucker, detailing what happened all the time. Lucas and the others shuddered when they saw two fist-sized holes on the concrete floor.

They could already imagine the damage such a sniper rifle could inflict if it hit someone.

Then when David takes them to where he killed Tucker, Lucas can't help but praise David's power internally. There's a big hole in the concrete wall.

The most important detail is David's young age. David has a lot of potential. The other female team members looked at David with admiration and respect as well. They were amazed to know that such a young man could possess such overwhelming strength.

David leaves, leaving Lucas and the others to clean up the mess, as they are more experienced with things like this. Lucas informs David that the female team member is from Team Spider, the team responsible for the Falcon intelligence network.

He also tells David to only contact them if there is any additional information he needs and that these women will tell David if they find any new leads. With that, they exchanged contacts.

David did see the spider's motives on their arms. His uniform was supposed to have a Falcon bird motif as well, but he had never worn it since receiving the uniform.

As soon as he returned to the Starry Night Hotel, David felt an urgent need to grow stronger. What happened today was extremely dangerous, and if the strength of his mind was weaker, he might not feel any danger in time and lose his life.

Even if he did not die, such a powerful caliber sniper rifle would definitely cripple him. That's frightening.

He had to raise his luxurious points to a thousand and increase the strength of his mind so that it could break through ordinary limits. The power of one's mind is too important. It could sense danger before it happened.

He not only needed to increase his mind power, but also his physical stats. He was still too weak right now but there was already someone targeting him.

More importantly, he did not even know who his enemy was.

Not knowing is the scariest of all. What if a powerful hit man like Lucas was after him again?

He couldn't guarantee a safe escape from a master like Lucas or Leeman.

At the very least, David had to raise his martial skills to the second level or he might not feel safe. He needed a lot of fancy points for that.

'How can I get more points in a logical way?’ David thought before calling Pearl.

“Halo, Mr Lidell!” Pearl greeted from the end of the phone.

"Miss Pearl, there are some items I want to buy so help me find them. I want you to buy it as soon as possible, and buy the best there is. Money is not a problem.” said David.

“What do you want to buy?” Pearl asked.

“I want an island, an airplane, and a cruise ship. Get jets and helicopters, and buy the most luxurious yachts there is.”

“Are you sure you want to buy these items, Mr Lidell? I think it would be more cost-effective to use money to invest. Those items will only go down in value, so you won't get anything out of them." said Pearl.

“It's okay. Just invest it as I said, money is not a problem. Oh, and the progress is a bit slow, so hurry up, okay? If you feel you have recruited enough people, then assign them reliable ones to other provinces and cities for development! I want East League International to be a world-class investment company.”

“Alright, I understand, Mr Lidell!” Pearl replied.

Since David had already given the order, there was nothing else he needed to say. He just wanted to know where David got the money from. Not even a wealthy family would allow their son to spend money like this. He's very confused. Not that he was in a position to interfere.

Secret Base in the Capital

Lucas's waiting for Tucker's lab report. An old man with a mask walked out of the lab.

“How, Old Cole?” Lucas asked.

“Sniper is a customized model of the Falconia black market. The bullets were also specially made to produce great damage. He also has some kind of special firearms, and according to our analysis, these weapons must have been broken into small parts and shipped to our country. But about how they were sent, we're not too sure about that. However, it is clear that this man is very good at using firearms.” Old Cole reports.

“The most important part of the case is this firearm. We need to know how they got into this country. We have to figure it out and break that supply chain, or the public will be at great risk if these weapons find their way into gangsters and other criminals" Lucas said.

“Tell your people to relax a little next time. This person was strong enough to become a Tiger Ranker, yet his organs were completely destroyed. There was not a single unbroken bone in his upper body. People like him are far more useful to live than to die." scorned Old Cole.

“He's new. I'll tell him to hold back next time."

“Oh? Vulture team has new members?” ask Old Cole.

“Yes, Number Ten!”

David did not leave his hotel room for the next few days, fearing he would be shot in the head if he came out. He doesn't even know who his enemy is. He could not guarantee that he would be able to sense danger again like he did last time.

He still had too much money to spend, so he could not die so quickly. He closed the curtains tightly and did not dare to walk near the window.

There was a building as tall as the hotel across from his room, and he was afraid someone would try to shoot him from the opposite building.

Fortunately, under his constant calls and insistence, he earned quite a lot from purchases in Springfield and the Capital. He has up to 578 luxury points now.

Its employees have contacted the channel to buy islands, planes and cruise ships. He could buy it at any time and earn a lot of fancy points.

David does this all while sitting patiently in the luxurious and magnificent suite at the Starry Night Hotel.

He had already decided that he would not leave the room until he achieved a breakthrough of his mind power. Nothing is more important than his life. When he had no other business, he would send a message to Celia or the high school group chat.

Spider's team had contacted him yesterday and told him they found the man who lured him into the alley. The man is a local resident in the Capital and comes from a fairly wealthy family, but has a gambling addiction that causes his wife and children to abandon him.

The man had a huge debt and was offered a hundred thousand just to lure David into the alley, so he did as he was told. Without a doubt, Tucker must have been the one behind the offer.

‘Damn it!'

One hundred thousand of these almost made David lose his life. One more day passed, which was now the third day since David locked himself in the room. On this day, Pearl finally called David and told him that she had contacted all the channels she wanted to buy.

However, due to the sudden demand, the price was slightly higher.

David didn't care whether the items were the most expensive or not. In fact, he was happy that they were more expensive now. After transferring the money to Pearl, David began to wait for his luxury points to add up.

From day to night, there were three updates to his luxury points. He had earned a total of nearly three hundred points, reaching a total of 864 points.

David doesn't care how he spends his money as long as it gives him more fancy points. Then he transferred all the new assets under the name East League International.

He needed over a hundred more points before he reached 1000 luxury points. This meant that he had over ten billion dollars to spend.

Not to mention that a luxurious 1000 points could only raise his mind power to the same level as his body stats. He still needed more luxurious points before he could further increase the strength of his mind and body.

Therefore, David randomly contacted people he knew and tried to find someone who could help him earn more points in a short period of time.
