The Strongest Man in the Universe

Chapter 173

David returned to the Starry Night Hotel and saw his luxurious points.875 points.It did increase every day, but there was still a long way to go until he got 10 thousand points. The Dark Cape has not officially started burning money. Moreover, he had to get ready to leave the Capital.

First, he will go directly to Springfield to discuss overseas development with Pearl. Then, he would return to the South River Province to attend the class reunion. He will go to Celia's house tomorrow to say goodbye.

The most important thing is to increase his strength. Strength is the foundation of everything, and everything else is unimportant. He will protect everything he has as long as he has the power.

Next day

David came to Celia's house early in the morning. The treatment David received this time was completely different from before. Mindy was actually pouring water for David personally, which made David a little flattered.

David tells Mindy that he wants Celia to go to a high school reunion with him. Of course, Mindy easily agreed to it now. She hoped Celia would follow David up close.

Where would he find such a good son-in-law like David if something unexpected happened?

But, David told Celia to wait a few days before heading to the South River Province. He was going to Springfield first, and he wasn't going to take Celia with him for a while.

After bidding farewell to Celia and her family, David buys a ticket for the next day to fly straight to Springfield.

In the afternoon, David was resting at the Starry Night Hotel when Lucas called.

"David, are you still in the Capital?” Lucas asked by phone.

“Not” replied David.

“Give me your specific location."

“I'm at Starry Night Hotel."

“I'll pick you up in an hour. You can go down at about that time. There will be a black car with the license plate number XXXXX. You can only get in the car after you see it. I'm gonna take you to meet somebody."

"Who is that?"

"You'll know when we get there."

"All right."

After hanging up the phone with Lucas, David wonders who wants to meet him. Judging from Lucas's tone, it should have been a big figure.

An hour later, David came to the entrance of the Starry Night Hotel. A black car was waiting in front of the hotel. David walked over, saw the license plate, and got into the car. After David got into the car, Lucas started the car and started driving.

"Captain, who wants to see me?” ask David in the car.

"You'll know when we get here. Don't ask now.” says Lucas seriously.

David shrugged and stopped talking. After a while, Lucas said, “David, I have a question for you, you have to answer honestly."

"Please, Captain."

“Are you Silver Face?” Lucas asked.

David surprised. 'Have I been found out? How come? I planned it carefully. When I finally killed Justin, the power I showed was beyond the power of Dragon Rank. However, the strength I displayed normally would be on par with a Mid-Dragon Ranker. Why would Lucas suspect me? Impossible. No, Lucas must have tried to extract information from me by trickery.'

"Captain, what are you saying? Who's Silver Face?” david asked, pretending to be confused.

"Stop pretending. Even though I can't beat you right now, I'm still your captain and I have the right to scold you.” scolded Lucas.

“I really don't know what you're talking about, Captain!” David decided to continue to strongly deny.

"You still deny it, huh? Then I'll convince you. You execute this plan perfectly and you manage to hide your strength so that others will not suspect you. But do the people around you do the same?” Lucas asked.

David shuddered. 'Oh no! I forgot one person! Paul's! That person had been with me for a long time and he had even been injured quite badly while saving Charles in River City. If Lucas wanted to see this, he would be able to immediately find this flaw.'

“Why don't you talk now? Paul has been in Chaos Land for over a decade. Do you think I can't find anything about him when he returned to the country half a year ago? Are you stupid? You even made him the vice-captain of the Red Flame Mercenaries Force, If the people from Falconia knew, the Red Flame Mercenaries Army would be obliterated several times."

"Yes..Captain, I didn't mean to lie to you. I'm just worried that you won't allow it, so I don't dare tell you.” said David timidly.

"You're worried I won't allow it? The Dark Cape was an important place for the military, so everyone wanted to destroy it. However, the people in the two empires who had the ability to do so were always being watched by the other party so that they could not act blindly without thinking, but who would have thought a maniac like you appeared." the captain breathed a frustrated sigh.

Don't worry, I've removed all traces of Paul's return to Somerland. He is now a man who has always been abroad and never returned to his country."

"Thank you, Captain.” David heaved a sigh of relief and said with gratitude.

"You don't have to thank me. I was your captain at the end of the day, and now that the Dark Cape is in Somerland's hands, I still have to thank you.”

"unneeded. I didn't think much of it back then, I just wanted to destroy the support of the Chasez family and then destroy the Chasez family myself."

“You still make sense, son. Even though you have the power to destroy the Chasez family, you didn't do it right away. Instead, you do it step by step. This is good, so as not to add unnecessary trouble."

"Thank you for the compliment, Captain!”

"But how do you do it?”

“What do you mean, Captain?"

"You surpassed the peak of Dragon Rank at the age of 22. Absolutely maniac!”

Lucas doesn't know what words he should use to describe David at the moment.

"I don't know. It just happened after a few training sessions.”

“Damn it!” Lucas answered in one word.

"David, when you see that person later, please be more serious and stop acting reckless!” lucas is serious.

“Who is that person?” ask David.

“An old man who protected Somerland for almost a century and has given his whole life to Somerland, Mr. Chief of Staff."

David felt a deep sense of respect. Then, he replied seriously, “I understand!”.

After driving for half an hour with David in the car, Lucas entered a quiet alley with two armed soldiers standing guard at the entrance. After entering the alley, they continued to drive for a few minutes, passing through several intersections that were each guarded. Finally, Lucas stopped at the gate of a large manor.

“David, please,” Lucas said.

“‘Are you not logged in too?” ask David.

"You're the one the chief of staff wants to see, not me. Why do I have to go in?”

"Alright, I'll go in then."

David opened the door and got out of the car. Then he walked to the manor gate, gently pushed the door open, and walked in. Upon entering the gate, David felt like he was entering another world. There was a pleasant scene in front of him that looked like heaven.

Under a tree not far away, a gray-haired old man was sitting on a rattan chair with his eyes closed. Meanwhile, a young girl behind him lowered her head while massaging her shoulders.

After gently closing the door, David walked forward and stopped a few meters away from the old man. He did not dare to disturb the old man, so he just stood there quietly. The young lady who was massaging the old man's shoulder looked at David and smiled at him. David stunned. Isn't this the woman he saved last time?

He's really great. No wonder Lucas asked her to make sure the hostage was safe no matter what. His identity is contrary to the order of nature.

They both do not speak or make sounds. About ten minutes later, the old man in the rattan chair moved. He opened his eyes slowly to look at David. Then, David and the old man stared at each other for a moment. What kind of eyes does he have?

It seemed like he could see everything in this world. David felt as if the man had seen through his soul. The intense mental pressure overwhelmed David. David used the power of thought he was proud of to fight him for a while, but he was completely defeated. He quickly closed his eyes.

Tap-tap-tap-tap!

David finally stopped after staggering back a few steps. He leaned over while gripping the shirt on his chest with his right hand as he gasped for air. Large grains of sweat kept coming out on his forehead before falling to the floor.

At this moment, David was completely shocked. The old man was very strong. He put David under so much pressure that it was so huge it was unimaginable. One glance could almost make him lose his fighting spirit. Just one look!

He thought he had surpassed Peak Dragon Rank and he was considered halfway to another realm. Even if he could not compare to the people who had entered this world, he would not be much worse off. However, he realized that he was wrong about this. So wrong. He was unable to make any resistance at all when he faced this old man in front of him.

"David, you're not bad. You have reached this stage at a very young age. It could be said that you are the most talented person I have seen in over 100 years of my life" said the old man, his voice authoritative.

When the young lady behind the old man heard what he said, her face was also filled with shock.
