The Strongest Man in the Universe

The Strongest Man in the Universe
Chapter 232



David takes Celia home, greets Mindy and Jon, and then leaves. She would not stay at Celia's house today as she was going back to the South River Province the next morning.


As he left, David remembered that when he spoke to Elsa alone today, he felt a faint energy with a strong power of his mind. Although the other party was well hidden, he still could not escape the detection of David's powerful mind power. He should have been a master who was already at the Partial God Rank, and there was only a wall between them.


It made sense for a master who was already at the God Rank Partial to be at a party together like that. But why would Elsa take him to that room? Maybe he wanted a Partial God Rank master to investigate it?


But even Mason was unable to discover the hidden features of the system. That person was a new God Rank Partial, so how could he discover David's true strength?


'Wait first!' David suddenly thought of something.


What if Elsa tries to test it?


After the overlord who was at the Winters Family's God Rank Partial found nothing, he asked the maid to intentionally sneak in and pour the red wine in her hands onto Celia. Then it was as if by chance, he saw her and they tested her reaction. If he really could not save Celia back then, there must have been someone by Celia's side who would have helped her block the flying tray and the glass of red wine.


No wonder he had a first-rate master by his side as he saved Celia. It was someone who would save Celia if she was really late to help her.


That is, the scene of her saving Celia recorded by the surveillance camera. Elsa will definitely slow down and study the footage after she leaves. Therefore, his strength should have been revealed by now.


At that moment, the speed he could reach with his full strength and the help of his powerful mind strength was impossible for someone who was at the Partial God Rank.


Therefore, if they were to compare them, they would find that his strength exceeded that of a master who was at the Partial God Rank. Moreover, the only rank on it was the Guardian God Rank.


David did not expect that the first person to know that he had become a Guardian God Rank was Elsa.


Even Mason didn't realize he had broken through, and now, Elsa found out after some research


Elsa is really something else.


As expected of a woman who could become the Winters family's first heir. His strength, temperament, and knowledge were all extraordinary. Plus, he already had a backup plan.


Even if David knew now, he wouldn't have done anything to her. After all, he did nothing to hurt Celia. Even if he could not save Celia in time, someone would stop the red wine and save Celia.


David suddenly felt that he was still too inexperienced. His strength increased too quickly during this period, and this made him feel that if he was strong enough, he could uncover all kinds of devious plans and tricks. All the devious plots and tricks were nothing in the face of absolute power.


But he had forgotten that he had yet to reach this level, and he could not bully others with just his own strength.


If he thought about it carefully, he should be able to predict Elsa's plan. But he was too careless and did not think about it at all.


That's why he only regained consciousness after that happened. It seemed like he needed to pay more attention to other things in the future from this moment on.


Before he had absolute strength, he would have to use more of his brain. He will think of this incident as Elsa who taught him a lesson.


'At least, even if my powers are revealed, Elsa will not spread this information. And he will definitely step up his efforts to urge me to cooperate with the Winters family.'


But David doesn't really want to work with the Winters. David doesn't like sneaky women like Elsa. It would be exhausting to face it. He still likes a girl like Celia who is simple, cute, and not sneaky.


Next day


David left the Capital by plane early in the morning and returned to River City in South River Province.


After getting off the plane, David headed straight for River City Hospital.


Although Sandy had not had time to tell David by phone where the Hospital was treating Charles and Old Master Luther the day before, David suspected that it might be River City Hospital.


At River City Hospital, David went straight to Director Tom's office. David did not bother knocking on the door, instead, he simply pushed the door open and went straight in. With his rising status, David slowly adapted to this change. Tom is just a hospital director, so he doesn't deserve the courtesy of David.


With his current status as a Somerland lawmaker, David can completely ignore Cade, the Cabinet Minister for South River Province.


When David opens the door and enters, Tom, the hospital director, is immersing his head in a book.


After hearing the door open, Tom did not look up, instead, he said in a majestic voice, “Who told you to enter without knocking? Go out and knock first!"


He was always a man whose words were very influential in the hospital. No one ever enters his office without knocking.


Of course, it was not because no big person came to the hospital, but he would be told about the big man who would come first and he would often go out to meet them.


"Dr.Lake, long time no see" said David.


Tom lifted his head to look at David.


“Master.. Lidell?" Tom asked uncertainly.


“Yes, it's me. I guess you don't remember me, Dr. Lake"


Tom immediately got up from his seat. Then, he walked towards David quickly, and spoke while walking, “Why didn't you tell me earlier, Mr Lidell? Please sit! Please sit!"


David was someone he could not afford to hurt because he had a close relationship with the Luther family. Although he heard that Luther's family had been a bit shaky lately, they were still not people he could hurt as the hospital director.


“You're too good, Dr.Lake. I just came to ask if Charles and Old Master Luther were here.” David said.


"Lord Luther and Old Master Luther are indeed in our hospital."


"How are they doing now?"


"Mr Luther had just suffered some internal injuries, but not seriously. He should be able to get out in two days. It's just that old Lord Luther's wounds are coming back. Other than his old age, he might not have much time left. We did our best."


"Take me to them!"


"Of course, Mr. Lidell, please follow me."


Afterwards, Tom took the lead as David followed suit.


When they arrive at Charles's luxury ward, David can hear Sandy's voice chattering inside.


"Mr Lidel, Mr. Luther is here. I won't bother you anymore.” Tom said respectfully.


"Alright, no problem at all. I'll come back later."


After Tom said that, he left. David gently pushed open the door of Charles' ward. Later, she sees Sandy busying herself beside Charles' bed like a good girl. He doesn't look like the villain he used to be. After being criticized by David, Sandy completely changes herself. She went from being a naughty and troubled girl to a kind, friendly and obedient girl.


David's arrival immediately attracted the attention of Charles who was in the hospital bed.


“Dave?" charles shouted in shock.


"Charles, long time no see!" david said with a smile.


Right now, Sandy turned her head towards David, and suddenly exclaimed in shock, “Dave?"


"Sandy, long time no see. You've finally grown up!" david said softly.


She really didn't expect Sandy to turn out like that. He's like everybody else now. This change was not only on her clothes but also her personality. David has a new level of respect for him.


“Dave, you're finally here!"


Sandy immediately put down the apple she had peeled and ran to hug David. At this moment, Sandy finally could not hold back her emotions, and tears fell from her eyes. A seventeen or eighteen year old girl seemed to be barely able to bear what she had been through the past few days.


Her brother was injured and hospitalized, while her grandfather was in the intensive care unit. His relatives including his irresponsible parents did not immediately come to the hospital to visit them, instead planning to divide the family property after the old man's death.


He knew he couldn't cry. He should be strong and should not let his brother and grandfather see him cry because it would only make them sad. But when he saw David, he couldn't control himself anymore. Other than his brother and grandfather, David was the person he trusted the most in this world.


David patted Sandy on the back gently, letting her hug him and cry. He knows that Sandy has been under a lot of pressure lately. He also knows about Sandy's admiration for him. However, this was destined to not end well since he already had Celia.


To be honest, Sandy was almost the same as Celia. He came forward and saved the two of them at the most critical moment. Later, he left a deep impression on the two girls. He thought it would fade over time. But he knew that even time could not eliminate something rooted in the deepest parts of one's heart.


He saw this directly with Celia. He also could not avoid it this time. He felt he had to take his time and explain this to Sandy. It's just that he can't do it now.


'Hhh, I will think about this in the future.'


David didn't know how to explain this to the obedient little girl. She needs to find a day to take Celia to see Sandy. When the time comes, he must understand. Maybe he'll back off after he finds out.


Charles doesn't bother Sandy.


After a few minutes, Sandy stopped crying and let go of David with a red face.


Right now, Charles says, “Dave, sorry about that. This girl had been under a lot of stress for two days. It's all my fault as her brother."


"It's okay. I-i know. Just let him vent to me, otherwise it might endanger his health.” David said.


"Dave, Sandy told you, right?"


“Charles, we are friends. Besides, Old Master Luther helped me a lot back then. Then what exactly happened? Why can't you tell me?" david said accusing.


“Dave, it's okay. I can still handle it."


“Charlie, you lied. People said Grandpa was going to die soon and they were going to split up the family treasure. They also said that Luther's family offended some great people and they wanted to escape after dividing it all" Sandy replied quickly.


“Charles, what happened?" ask David.


"That's it. Grandfather's health was getting worse, so they thought our family would collapse. For that they are ready to come and get the advantage.” said Charles.


“Who has hurt you?"


“They are from the Alton family in River City. They found new support recently and they wanted to take control of River City. Therefore, my family is indeed their main target."


“Controlling River City? How dare this family say such a ridiculous thing. Isn't Cade gonna stop them?" David asked doubtfully.


"If it was just the Alton family, Mr. Nelson could naturally stop him, but the supporters the Alton family found this time around were very strong, so Mr. Nelson did not dare to offend them.” says Charles helpless.


“Cade dare not offend them? Are they from a hidden family?" ask David.


“Yes, they are the Nichols family, and they are very strong. Now almost all the families in River City did not dare to oppose them."


“How scary are they?" asked David curiously.


“The Nichols family has some very strong Dragon Rank Peak Masters, and the number is more than one.” said Charles bitterly.


'Top Dragon Rank!'


His grandfather was only a Tiger Rank in his prime. There is a huge difference between the two and that difference can be described as the difference between heaven and earth. Moreover, according to his grandfather, even people in Special Task Force Team A were only at the early and middle stages of Dragon Rank.


After reaching the highest level of Dragon Rankers, perhaps only Team A leaders possessed such strength. That's why he banned Sandy from telling David about this. This was because he felt his opponent was too strong. He did not think that David had the strength to contend with his opponent, so even though he was involved in this, it would only be a death sentence. He refused to tell David.


Finally, she doesn't expect Sandy to steal her phone and call David while he's sleeping. Now that David was here, he could only tell David what had happened.


Although David distanced himself after knowing the truth, he would not blame David. After all, in the face of such a powerful enemy, they did not have the slightest chance of winning. If David faced such an enemy, he could only choose secretly for the sake of the Luther family, or secretly provide the support he had in his power. Not because he feared death, but because he could not ignore the entire Luther family.


David was obviously shocked when he heard Charles' reply.


'More than one Peak Dragon Rank person? The Nichols family is really.. um... very strong!'


They were so strong that David felt he could crush them with one finger. You may not even need to use your fingers. With just one word, the Nichols family, a family so powerful and terrifying in Charles' eyes, would perish without leaving a speck of dust behind.


'This hidden family did not have someone who was in the Partial God Rank and they dared to call themselves strong? It's ridiculous! No wonder they only dared to reappear in such remote places as the South River Province.'


After Charles said that, he noticed David's reaction. Even though he didn't think that David would help him, he still had hope that a miracle would happen. Finally, after he saw how shocked David was, the last hope in his heart shattered. He breathed a helpless sigh in his heart.


Indeed, David seemed stunned to hear how powerful they were. But how Charles knew that David was surprised not because of how strong the other party was, but because of how weak they were. The Peak Master of Dragon Rank was nothing more to him.


He could crush them with a wave of his palm or just a snap of his finger!
