The Strongest Man in the Universe

Chapter 153

David, whose body had reached an incredible limit, was already on par with Peak Dragon Rank. As the strength of his mind was also at its limit, his current strength surpassed that of Peak Dragon Rank. It was even a step outside of it.

One should not underestimate this move as it represents another level, a transitional realm that surpasses Dragon Rank but is half a step away from the next realm. This was also the dream of many Peak Dragon Rank masters.

This was because once they reached this state, it was only a matter of time before they could break through to the next level. He released this aura with all his strength, The entire building and living room started to tremble slightly. Everyone in the living room who was subjected to David's power felt like they were instantly frozen in a block of ice.

Not only did they feel cold, but they could not even move their fingers. This is the double pressure of the body and mind.

At this moment, when they were dealing with David, it was as if they were facing their natural enemy on top of the food chain so that they could not muster any resistance at all.

In the world of martial arts, even if one's strength was much greater than their opponent's, this would never happen. This is the effect of David's mind power. The strength of his mind was incredible, and he was able to suppress his enemies mentally to make his enemies feel admiration for him. Moreover, the two Dragon Rank masters were the most shocked in their hearts. Scarface is not a little better.

After all, he had only broken through the early stages of Dragon Rank not too long ago, so he did not really understand the gap in their ranks. He had just sensed David's power. And now, he only felt that David was even stronger than before.

But Killer is different. He was already a Mid-Dragon Rank expert, and he had seen more than one person who was at the Late Dragon Rank Stage. The strength that David was showing right now was beyond his imagination. The pressure of a Late Stage Dragon Ranker was much weaker than that.

'Could the captain have taken that step?’

Killer widened his eyes to look at David, who was sitting in the main seat casually, If that's true, then annihilating the Blood Thirsty Mercenaries wouldn't be as difficult as he had imagined. At this moment, he was very excited.

How many years has it been?

He had been in Chaos Land for so long and he had experienced life and death many times, but he was unwilling to go home. Even when his grandfather died, he did not return. It was all because he was waiting for this opportunity. Now, it finally arrived as well. He was finally able to avenge his parents.

The heavy aura quickly disappeared.

“What's on your mind?"

David asked in a flat tone as he stopped pressing them and lightly tapped the table with his fingers. Although he asked as if this was a negotiation, but it sounded like a death sentence that had been dropped by a judge, so no one dared to speak out against it.

“Because no one objected, then everyone, split up and go your own way. After a week, we'll regroup here. I hope none of you here have disappeared. Otherwise, there will be no place that can hide you in this vast world.“

"Don't worry, Captain, I will definitely complete the task and get more people to join the Red Flame Mercenaries.” Scarface immediately declared his loyalty.

“Yes yes! Me too, I will complete the task given by you, Captain."

“I too!”

“I too!”

David continued, “Of course, if you can get more people to join Red Flame, I will reward you after we defeat the Dark Cape and annihilate the Blood Thirsty Mercenaries. I will not let anyone who contributed to Red Flame feel any loss. All right, do it your own way."

The people in the room gradually dispersed. However, Killer was the only one who did not leave that place.

“Do you need anything?” David looked at Killer and asked.

“Ya, Captain.” replied Killer.

Paul and the gang immediately understood, so they left the living room.

“Tell me.”

“Captain, if we manage to defeat the Dark Cape, can you hand the final blow to Tyrant to me?” Killer asked.

"Ohh? Do you have a personal grudge against him?"

“Truly cannot be reconciled.” replied Killer with gritted teeth.

"Tell me about it.”

After David heard Killer's story, he couldn't help but look at him with a hint of pity.

He was the son of a wealthy family who lived a good life since childhood, but because his parents were kidnapped and killed by the Blood Thirsty Mercenaries, he said, he came to Chaos Land alone to avenge his parents. Then, he spent over a decade to grow to this stage.

Only Killer knows how much danger and life and death he's experienced along this journey. Such a person is worthy of admiration. It had nothing to do with strength, but instead, it was about his spirit.

“Of course. I will grant your request!” said David.

There was no need for him to refuse this kind of thing. As long as the result was the same, the process was not important, He had no grievances with Tyrant, and he only wanted to kill Tyrant so that the Chasez family would not have him as their talisman anymore. Back then, he could easily take action against the Chasez family.

Therefore, in the end, it didn't matter at whose hands Tyrant died. Moreover, Tyrant seemed to be the one who had committed many crimes.

In reality, not everyone in the mercenary world was a bad person. Many of the tasks the mercenaries performed were jobs similar to what the bodyguards would do. They just need to protect the safety of their employers. It's like a small team where Paul and his men used to be.

"Thank you, Captain!” Killer exclaimed excitedly.

Finally, there was hope for revenge, and his parents were finally able to rest in peace. He has waited too long for this day.

“But I also have one condition.” said David.

“I want you to join Red Flame completely and become the vice-captain of Red Flame. With Paul's strength, he is destined to be unable to control the Red Flame Mercenaries, and I cannot stay here forever. Thus, I need a strong person who can hold the fortress to lead Red Flame. What say?”

Killer thought about it and replied, “Alright, as long as you help me avenge my father, I will take your orders. A real man never retracts his words!”

Killer went back to where he lived. Before David got here, he was indeed the strongest, so he managed to occupy a dilapidated building. The weaker ones could only build their own tents. Fortunately, these mercenaries were ruthless and merciless people, so they did not care much. They can fall asleep even in the wilderness, let alone in tents.

As soon as Killer entered the building, someone asked, "Boss, what's the situation? Are we going to join in too? I think everyone's gone."

There were about seven or eight people in the room at this moment. They're fiddling with their weapons. Some were busy wiping their sniper rifles, while others were playing around with daggers in their hands.

After Killer entered, they all stared at him. The one who had just spoken was one of the dazzlingly dressed women. Moreover, these seven or eight people were Tiger Rank masters. Some of them were even Peak Tiger Rank.

They were clearly a powerful group that could not be ignored. Obviously, the Killer team values quality over quantity, preferring to recruit elites.

“I decided to disband our team and join the Red Flame Mercenaries.” Killer said.

“What? Boss, are you having a fever? Wh why? Isn't it good for us to stay together? Our target is small and we have a lot of mobility. Even the big mercenaries cannot do anything against us.”

“Yes, I think we're fine like this. Why should we join Red Flame?”

“Could Red Flame seriously want to attack the Dark Cape? Boss, we know you want revenge, but you will die if you do this.”

Everyone stopped doing what they were doing as they waited for Killer's answer. They could not accept the team's disbandment or their merger with Red Flame. They have worked together for many years and they have a strong mutual understanding when carrying out tasks.

In addition, they have a close relationship with each other. They would be scattered if they joined other mercenary units. Can they still trust their teammates if they join another team?

"I met the captain of the Red Flame Mercenaries today, and he is extremely strong.” Killer said.

“How strong?”

"I can't put any resistance in front of him. I suspect he has already reached the top and taken that small step.”

"What?" Everyone stared at Killer in shock.

Naturally, they understood what Killer meant. But how is this possible?

The captain of the newly formed mercenary group turned out to be a master at the top. Who's gonna believe this? There won't be!

Although they had yet to reach that level, they had been with Killer for many years and they knew how difficult it was to take that small step. There weren't many people at Dragon Rank Peak, but there were quite a number who were like them among the tens of billions of people in the world.

However, those who took that small step were extremely rare. This was because once someone took that step, it was only a matter of time for them to break through to that legendary realm. Tyrant, Dragon Rank number one, only existed in Dragon Rank. If the captain of Red Flame really took that step, he would no longer belong to the Dragon Ranker category.

If that was the case, Tyrant was definitely no match for captain Red Flame. Although the difference between the two was only a small step, the quality was completely different.

Killer went on to say, “The others did not go, but instead, they went to complete the task given by the captain. We will also leave in a moment to gather some strong people to join Red Flame.

Everyone will meet here in a week and wait for the next captain's order, and then we will attack the Dark Cape.”

"Boss, have you decided? You must understand that once we join Red Flame, they will not let us form a team of our own. They're gonna separate us all. We have established great cooperation and solidarity and I don't want to be in a team with anyone else. I don't trust them.”

“I too!”

“We are too!”

The rest chimed.

"Don't worry about this, after defeating the Dark Cape and destroying the Blood Thirsty Mercenaries, the captain will leave. At that time, I will become the first vice leader of Red Flame and will assign all of you to the elite team. Once we drop the Dark Cape, we will be able to settle down and we will not have to live a homeless and miserable life like this again.”

After hearing Killer's words, they were all slightly moved. If their leader could become Red Flame's first vice-captain, joining Red Flame was no longer an unacceptable position.

Plus, with the wealth and luxury shown by Red Flame, they would enjoy a much better life in the future.

"Boss, are you sure the captain didn't lie to you? Will they really hand Red Flame over to you after spending so much effort to form the Red Flame Mercenaries and take over the Dark Cape? Moreover, he even intends to let you become the first vice-captain? What's the purpose of him doing this?”

“I don't know the captain's purpose. Maybe he has the same hatred towards the Blood Thirsty Mercenaries as me, or maybe he wants to take the Dark Cape into his own hands, but I'm sure he won't lie to me. Moreover, a strong person at this level would not even bother lying to me" Killer said seriously.

Some people looked at each other and nodded.

One of them stood up and said, “OK! Since you said so, Boss, then we agreed to join Red Flame, but our team is inseparable, otherwise, our team is not, we won't be able to trust our teammates when we're on a mission."

“Just calm down, you won't be apart. If the attack on the Dark Cape this time succeeds, it might be our last mission, after which everyone can live in peace. The Dark Cape is a treasured land blessed by heaven. And you won't run out of money if you're there. The Blood Thirsty Mercenaries occupied the Dark Cape for nearly 10 years. And they never did a single mission" Killer said.

He and these people are brothers in life and death. Although Killer was in a realm much higher than theirs, he was never arrogant, and he never took any arbitrary actions. He would always discuss with everyone no matter what happened. That was why so many strong people were willing to follow him.

A Peak Tiger Rank had enough strength to become a captain and lead their own small mercenary group to receive missions. However, they were all willing to follow Killer because of his kindness.
