The Strongest Man in the Universe

Chapter 179

Inside the center of the castle in the Dark Cape, David asks Killer to summon the higher-ups of the Red Flame Mercenaries to meet.

Soon, they arrived one after another.

First vice-captain, Killer.

Second vice-captain, Paul.

Third vice-captain, Tulip.

There was also a skinny young man and looked weak. David remembered that he should be someone from the members of the Blood Thirsty Mercenaries Force.

'Why is he here?' David glanced at Killer.

When Killer saw him, he stood up and said, “Captain, he is a former advisor to the Blood Thirsty Mercenaries. His name is Rory Hudson and he is a native of the Dark Cape. I have looked into his past and he has never killed anyone while he was in the Blood Thirsty Mercenaries Army. Basically, he would only help the Blood Thirsty Mercenaries Army with internal affairs. Many of his ideas are beneficial to our development, and he has a good reputation in the Dark Cape, so I decided to keep him.”

“Rory Hudson greets you, Captain.” The skinny man stepped forward and bowed to David.

David looked at the man closely. He didn't seem to be very old and looked like he was 27 or 28 years old. He was a little thin and he did not have much strength. He should have been in the second or third grade, which was slightly stronger than ordinary people.

“Are you a native of Dark Cape?” ask David.

“Yes, Captain!” answer Rory.

“Since you used to be an advisor to the Blood Thirsty Mercenaries, you should have studied the Dark Cape carefully before. Tell me, what is the current situation in the Dark Cape?”

“Captain, I believe that although the current situation of the Dark Cape seems good, it is still based on the balance between the two kingdoms. Once the balance between the two kingdoms starts to tilt slightly, the Dark Cape will begin to be destroyed."

“Oh? Please be more specific!”

“Dark Cape is located between two kingdoms, and it is the only place without any magnetic interference, so it is a very important strategic point. None of the two kingdoms would allow either one to obtain it. So that was the reason why this place could be controlled by the current Blood Thirsty Mercenaries and Red Flame Mercenaries. But once the balance between the two kingdoms is broken, the Dark Cape will be in a precarious situation. The Dark Cape was just a small boat in front of the two kingdoms and could be swallowed by the huge waves at any moment. No matter which side the Dark Cape leaned on, it would only end up being destroyed."

“So, how can this problem be solved?” ask David again.

“If you want to solve the problem, first, no matter which power occupies the Dark Cape, there must be a top-class combat power to deter all parties. Tyrant's power as a Peak Dragon Ranker was actually not enough, and they should at least have power on par with yours, Captain. Second, the Dark Cape must find a way to attract the surrounding magnetic field so that the two kingdoms cannot use the massive power of the scale of deadly weapons in the Dark Cape. Both of these conditions are indispensable. The rest is to strengthen Red Flame and arm the Dark Cape.”

After Rory spoke for a while, he stopped talking. He trusted David to understand what he was saying. From David's tax write-off in the Dark Cape to his royal purchase of advanced weapons, David is definitely the one who will achieve great things.

He had wanted to convey this opinion to Tyrant earlier, but Tyrant was not strong enough to hinder all parties, so he let go of that thought. Even if he spoke his mind and Tyrant did as he was told, anyone with the power of David would be able to eliminate the Blood Thirsty Mercenaries. As such, both conditions were undeniable, the Dark Cape would not be safe if either of them were not applied.

“Rory, it's good you can think about this. I will leave the development of the Dark Cape to you. The three of them will work together with you and I'm sure you also want to protect your hometown, right?”

“Yes, Captain!” Rory answered happily.

Although he had been recruited by the three vice-captains of Red Flame, everything was still uncertain in the absence of the captain. It was because he knew that the Silver Face was the true ruler of Red Flame. Now that he was finally confirmed by the captain, he was naturally above the moon.

Moreover, the Red Flame Mercenaries were much more humane than the Blood Thirsty Mercenaries. They only kill people who deserve to be killed. Unlike Blood Thirsty Mercenaries which operates with confidence ‘besides us nothing deserves to live’. Furthermore, Tyrant was truly a psychopathic lunatic.

Red Flame also exempted the Dark Cape from taxes, which would be astronomical. Which group of mercenaries did not wish to occupy the Dark Cape for sky-high taxes?

He was a little confused about the true intentions of Red Flame occupying the Dark Cape.

“This time I am here to tell you that the Dark Cape will be the future base of the Red Flame Mercenaries. We must make this place into an entity that is not afraid of any power, including the two kingdoms. So Killer, you should quickly buy various weapons and equipment that I requested.”

“Good, Captain.” replied Killer with respect.

“The advanced equipment made here two days ago can pull the magnetic field to hide the Dark Cape after it is assembled, I also hired a technician to come. It won't be long before the Dark Cape can stop getting a major missile strike. Coupled with the strength I showed, we have fulfilled the two conditions that Rory mentioned. After this, I'll leave the rest of the development for all of you."

“Really?”

"really?"

"really?"

The three vice-captains asked at the same time.

“Of course, I won't joke about this.”

Everyone present was very excited. The Dark Cape would be a place that was not afraid of any strength, and they would be much more comfortable staying here.

“For anyone who has relatives and friends, you can ask them to move to the Dark Cape. This place is very large and there are still many places that have not been developed. I want to turn it into an independent country.”

“Yes, Captain!”

For the next period, David watches over Julia in the Dark Cape. The magnetic field pull is not as simple as David thought. It was not an easy thing to do even after the devices were assembled, as they would buy the need to run a lot of experiments. Thus, his progress was very slow.

It didn't feel like a month was almost over. Julia is not finished. Every day, he would work more than ten hours a day. David will let him rest if necessary. So there should be no reason to worry that he will get sick.

As per his past instructions, the Dark Cape had bought a lot of weapons. They even bought eight submarines and one aircraft carrier from the black market Chaos Land. In addition, Pearl gradually began to execute her plans overseas while the East League Capitals in the country were growing steadily. David's luxury points have increased greatly.

That has increased from 1200 points half a month ago to over 3600 points now. It's getting closer and closer to 10,000 now.

Time passes day by day. David's fancy points basically increased by an average of over 100 points each day. At this rate, it would not take long for David to improve his physique and reach the next realm. When that happened, he would absolutely not be afraid anymore.

Ten days or so passed and David's luxurious points had reached 5000 points. On this day, everyone in the Dark Cape was suddenly unable to make calls with their cell phones. All wireless communication is cut off. Only a home phone can be used. However, it only took a few minutes before recovering. Everyone is not so dizzy.

Meanwhile, in the Dark Cape's central castle, several core members of the Red Flame Mercenaries Army were cheering happily. Experiments pulling magnetic fields have finally worked. In the future, the Dark Cape will no longer need to fear a remote-controlled missile attack. Once detected by the radar, the magnetic field pull will be activated immediately and the missile will lose direction or even jam. This is great news for the Dark Cape.

Only David, supported by the whole country of Somerland, could achieve this goal so quickly. Otherwise, it might only be possible after they wait for this technology to become popular.

Currently, there are only a few large countries in the world that can manipulate magnetic fields to this level. Julia worked more than ten hours a day for more than 20 days and she had lost a lot of weight.

Dark Cape

Inside Central Castle's lab. Several core members of the Red Flame Mercenaries had left the lab and they summoned the middle-tier members of Red Flame to inform them of the news.

“Nona Stefani, thank you!” David thanked me sincerely.

From now on, he did not need to intentionally hide his identity. Even if it was exposed, it didn't matter. Falconia has powers similar to Somerland's. Without the threat of long-range missiles, he would not be afraid as long as they did not send troops to attack directly.

If Falconia sent the troops, Somerland would naturally not remain silent. The top-tier combat power of both sides was under the supervision of the other party, and once one made a move, they would soon be discovered by the other party. Thus, the two kingdoms would not act rashly.

This is especially true in the current situation where everything is unknown. As the magnetic fields continued to expand, they would become an absolute force to control the world. No kingdom can defeat them.

“David, you don't have to be so polite to me. You're also one of us in Somerland. Plus, you even saved me last time" Julia said exhaustedly.

He had been in a high-pressure work environment for over twenty days and it was indeed heavy for him. After all, he was just an ordinary person.

“Nona Stefani, rest first. You've been working for days so you should rest well. We'll only come back when you've recovered enough" David said.

“OK. But you need to stop calling me Miss Stefani. Just call me Jules.”

“Um... I think it's inappropriate.” said David hesitated.

Jules sounds too familiar, and David is not used to this.

“What's inappropriate about this? My friends all call me that, or are you telling me that you don't see me as your friend?” Julia asked.

“Cannot be! You have helped me so much, how could I not consider you my friend? Just come to me if you need anything in the future. As long as it's in my power, I won't say no.”

“You yourself said that. I'll be back to rest now. Right, since we are friends, what should you call me?” Julia asked mischievously.

“N-Miss Jules?”

“Nona?” Julia looked at David and let out a questioning voice.

“Jules, get back to rest now.”

“Now it sounds better.”

After Julia said that, she left with a smile.
