David takes powerful family members from South River Province with him to the Nichols family residence.
Currently, the Nichols family has not fully reappeared. Franklin, the head of the Nichols family, only brought these people to dig into new prospects. Franklin and the two elders of the Nichols family are their strongest fighters. Now that they're dead, chaos has erupted in the Nichols family.
David attacks the remaining members of the Nichols family who are masters at Dragon Rank, and in doing so essentially defeats everyone sent by the Nichols family. The remaining members were arrested, and Cade had sent them to the South River Province prison.
The problems that needed to be dealt with in the South River Province were all eliminated after the Nichols family was defeated. Meanwhile, Greg's family did not need to wait for David to issue an order before the powerful families in South River Province joined forces to destroy them.
Since they dared to cooperate with the Nichols family to cause trouble in Somerland, no good results awaited them. But problems with the Nichols family have helped David understand Somerland's current situation.
He found the hidden family weak because he saw them from a very powerful position. He's too strong for them. However, the strength of the Nichols family was seen when he compared it to the family in South River Province.
The South River Province was a great place, but outwardly, they only had Cade as their sole ruler in the Dragon Rank Beginner. Meanwhile, the other families had, at most, Dragon Rank Partial or Peak Tiger Rank as their strongest fighters.
What about the Nichols family?
They had three Peak Dragon Rank levels. Moreover, they had some ordinary Dragon Rank. There is no point in comparing the two. If they weren't intimidated by Somerland. Taking over the South River Province would not pose any difficulties for the Nichols family. But, the Nichols family could only be ranked mediocre among the hidden sects and families. It was evident from the fact that they had chosen the South River Province as their target.
This was because South River Province was ranked in the second half of the 66 Provinces in Somerland. Hidden sects and families that were at the top of their game would choose to target the Capital, Springfield, or other high-potential regions.
The higher the provincial rank, the more resources it possessed, and thus, the greater the benefits it would bring to the hidden sects and families once they mastered it. At that time, there might be hidden sects and families coming out of hiding in all the major regions of Somerland.
But the Somerland government can still stop them because Mason is not dead. Thus, the situation is still under control. Even so, the situation might not be under control any longer.
When everyone comes out of hiding. It was then that chaos completely broke out in Somerland. What happened to the Nichols family this time could be a warning to this hidden family and sect, but it was useless. This is because the Nichols family is not yet strong enough. Moreover, Old Master Stefani wanted to keep secret the fact that he had recovered so that they could launch a stronger attack against the foreign party's forces.
What Franklin said was not wrong. It is true that the kingdom of Somerland will enter an era of chaos both at home and abroad.
Well then, because Old Master Stefani is thinking of a way to deal with foreign powers. He, David Lidell, would be the one to terrorize the hidden families and sects within the country.
He'll be arranging a meeting with Mason soon. After all, the kingdom of Somerland still has some Dragon Rank Masters, right?
Rumor has it that all the members of Dragon Force are Dragon Rank Masters. He had plans to lead the team personally so that they could exchange blows with these hidden sects and families.
David doesn't think well of these guys. When they are needed, they choose to hide. Now, they came out of hiding to take away many resources. Is there such a wonderful opportunity in their lives?
After the problems with the Nichols and Greg family were resolved, David spoke to Old Master Luther and Charles again. Now that he had made the announcement, the Luther family would become the strongest in the South River Province. They needed to consult David about how they should control the South River Province. David will leave after everything is settled. He had parked his car right outside the mansion.
Old Master Luther and Charles brought David to the front door. They watched David get into his car and just turned around to walk back home after he left. Old Master Luther wondered to himself,
'Where's the young lady, Sandy?
David was about to leave, but he didn't come to say goodbye. Hufh. Who knows, he would hide and not want to cry in front of someone!'
After David got into his car, he started the engine so he could drive. At that moment, the passenger door suddenly opened. A small figure entered.
David stupefied! 'Isn't this Sandy Luther? What is he doing here?'
"Dave!" Sandy called out shyly.
“Sandy! Is something wrong?" david asked confused.
“It's okay, Dave! I just want you to accompany me! I was always scared when my grandfather got sick and my brother got hurt. I just feel calm and secure when I'm with you" Sandy said in a slightly melancholic tone.
David will be gone again. If he hadn't caught up with her today, no one would have known how long it would have been before they met again.
“Sandy! Actually..”
“Dave! I knew! I just want you to accompany me for a moment! Is that okay?" sandy said as he turned towards David with a hopeful look shining in his eyes.
"Alright fine! Where are you going?" david asked in annoyance while sighing inwardly.
The power of her mind is powerful, which naturally means she can detect Sandy's emotional changes and understand Sandy's true intentions. However, he did not know how he should convey that to Sandy. She was already with Celia. Any affection she feels for Sandy is like a sister to her sister.
"Did you agree? Goody! Thank you, Dave!” Sandy said happily.
"So tell me! Where are you going?" ask David.
“Ke anywhere! Anywhere doesn't matter as long as I can be with you!" answer Sandy.
David started the engine and drove away. South River City was a place he knew well.
During his college years, he had traveled almost all over South River City while working part-time.
David escorts Sandy to a remote forest park. The park is quite crowded during the day. But the population here is less at night because there are no settlements around it. Usually, only couples come here at night.
David had decided to come here precisely because it was a deserted place. He feels that he has to solve the problem with Sandy. If he let things continue as they are now, things might get out of hand.
He really didn't want to hurt Sandy, the smart and kind girl. However, it would be more difficult to deal with in the future if he did not improve the present situation. It makes his head hurt.
The two walked up the mountain, and Sandy chatted excitedly along the way. He seems to be in a very good mood. This was the first time she had a solo date with David. It was also the first time she had ever dated a man.
They talked and laughed along the way, occasionally stopping to rest. Half an hour later the two arrived at the top of the highest mountain in the forest garden. They stared at the light emanating from the houses below them. Both of them feel happy and relaxed.
“Thank you, Dave!” Sandy said suddenly.
“No need for such formalities, Sandy! Your brother and I are friends, and your grandfather has also helped me in the past.”
“It was them! I am myself! Let's discuss our problem separately.”
David didn't know what to answer. Both are silent again.
A few minutes later, David said, “Sandy! Actually, ...”
But he only managed to get a few words out before Sandy cut him off.
“Dave! I know what you want to say.”
"really?"
"Yes I know! But I don't want to hear it, Dave!"
After a while, David said, "But I still think I should tell you."
"Okay, tell me!" Sandy didn't push him this time.
David hesitated before saying, “Sandy, actually I already have a girlfriend!”
"I already know!" sandy said as he looked at David. He had tears in the corner of his eyes.
“Sandy, you are still very young! You just feel safe around me because I once saved you when you needed it. It also makes you feel indebted to me and feel the need to repay me! But it's not love. You'll forget me when you grow up and meet another great man."
"Dave!"
"Yes?"
"You may not have feelings for me, but you can't deny the feelings I have for you."
“Sandy, you're still young! You don't know what that real feeling is."
“Dave! Right now, I think of you during the day, at night, when I eat, and even when I sleep. I think of you no matter what I do, and I can't distract myself no matter how hard I try. Tell me, what is it if not love?” Sandy asked, tears welling up as she stared at David steadily.
David felt his hair stand up as Sandy looked at him. Right now, he would rather fight with some psychopathic Guardian God Rank, than face Sandy.
“But... Sandy... I already have a boyfriend! We were high school classmates, and we were in an amazing relationship! I was planning to marry her when we graduated.”
"She must be pretty, right? What's name?"
"He's very pretty! Her name is Celia Young!”
“Celia? What a beautiful name! But.. Dave! I'm not giving up!"
"Huh?" David stunned.
"Say, I won't give up! Dave, you said I'm too young now, but I'll be growing up in two years. When the time comes, Miss Celia will not be better than me" Sandy said solemnly.
“Sandy! You don't have to act like this! Can't we just be brothers? Isn't it alright if I indulge you like a sister?" david said he wasn't sure if he should cry or laugh.
"NO! Dave, there's no room for anyone but you in my heart. If you and Miss Celia get married, I will never get married. I will continue to be your sister for the rest of my life so that you will continue to pamper me."
“Sandy! You'll meet a lot of brilliant men when you go to college. When that time comes, you may forget me."
"That's impossible. Dave's! Do you think others can be better than you?" ask Sandy.
David stunned. He has no answer to that question. Indeed, no one else is better than him in any given field. This comparison is not only true when people of his age are compared to him.
Soon he will become stronger than Mason Stefani, the legendary old man himself. Of course, it was also not a good idea for one to be too talented.
David felt a headache start to come.
Cring...Cring...The crane!
At that moment, David's phone rang. He pulled out his phone and looked at it.
'Clinton Zimmerman's? Why'd he call? Does the ten-year appointment start now?'
That's very possible! After all, Lorraine had already appeared, and she herself had met him.
