The Strongest Man in the Universe

Chapter 296

Capital, residence of the King family

There was a debate between the core of the family. The focus of the debate is whether to continue sending people to join the Somerland Disciplinary Team to support Somerland and stabilize the domestic situation.

By now, most of the King family had come out of hiding and come to the Capital. This is where they choose to reappear. As the most powerful family among all the hidden groups, they naturally had to choose the most prosperous place to reappear.

Only a small number of people lived in the hidden world to take care of the family elders. Now, being gathered here was the core of the King family.

“News has arrived from Somerland Disciplinary Team. They hoped that all the hidden families and sects would continue to send people to support them. Tell me, what do you think?” Delmont King, the patriarch of the King family, asked.

However, the room was quiet, and no one stepped forward to comment.

After a while, Delmont spoke again, “Cameron, Augustus, you two first.”

Augustus and Cameron are the pillars of the current King family. They were also strong contenders to become the next patriarch.

When they heard the old man calling their names, Augustus stood up and said, “Dad, I think now is the time Somerland needs our help the most. As the Somerland family, we must continue to send people to support them. The King and Somerland families have always had such a good cooperative relationship that we cannot ruin it like this. If Somerland collapses, I guess we, the King family, will not survive either.”

“August, you are wrong. We've given Somerland a lot of help. Of all the hidden families and sects, we have contributed the most. Even if we no longer send people to support them, Somerland cannot blame us for that. Given the current situation, it is difficult for Somerland to survive, and all we need to do now is maintain our strength so that we can protect ourselves in the future." reply Cameron King immediately.

“Cam, providing help at a time when one is in need will make others more grateful than helping people who are not in need. Now is the time when Somerland needs help the most. We must continue to support them. Somerland is very powerful, so I doubt they lack any hidden means. Perhaps this was just one of their traps set up with the intention of delivering a painful blow to the first person out of line."

“Augustus, it's just your assumptions. Is the current situation in Somerland not clear enough? Even if Mason hadn't died, he was already on the verge of death and he could only fight at most one more battle. That would be the moment when he used his final burst of strength. Even if he could withstand the first wave of attacks, what about the second wave and the third wave? What can Somerland do to fight back? If Somerland wants to pass through this calamity safely, we will need a master at the other highest Peak God Rank realm, but is that possible? Of course not! Our family can't be tied to the same ship as Somerland. Instead, we must find a way to save ourselves. We have sent so many people that we, the King family, can say that we have done our best.”

“Cam, don't forget the ancestral teachings. They want us to win every battle at all costs. David, captain of the Somerland Disciplinary Team, performed brilliantly at the selected grand event and was also unanimously recognized as the number one young generation in Somerland. According to the news from our fifth brother, he has become a Guardian God Rank at such a young age, and most likely he is the one. Hence, now was the best time to win her heart. We can't miss it.”

“Augustus, you said that it was only a possibility, and it is uncertain that David was the one. I admit that his talent is indeed outstanding, but in the face of the current situation in Somerland, a Beginner God Ranker like him cannot do much. The major powers in the world would no longer give him the opportunity to develop. Once we get David on our side, we will most likely be the target of some great power. You will push our entire family to the brink of death!"

Augustus and Cameron had a heated argument. Both express different opinions. These two were the best among this generation of the King family. One hopes the family will continue to support Somerland in order to gain Somerland's support and win the heart of David, who may become a foreseen legend. In addition, others hoped the family would stop supporting Somerland and save its power for self-protection.

To be honest, both make a lot of sense. They each also had the support of some of the core members of the family. This is not unilateral Patriarch of the family. Delmont, also hesitated a little. This decision is related to the path the family will take in the future.

Therefore, he must be careful.

In addition, some elders in the family explained that they were old and out of touch with the community, so they were no longer involved in family matters. Now, the family core can only discuss and decide for itself.

“Raymond, tell me what you think.” Delmont said, staring at Raymond, the number one person among the King family's younger generation.

When Raymond heard Delmont call him, he stood up and said, “Grandfather, I think we can combine the opinions of Uncle Cameron and Uncle Augustus. Since Somerland wants people, then we will send some people with ordinary powers to keep the family strength as much as possible. Then, we can join other powerful groups depending on the situation. If Somerland had a hidden way, then it was best to be able to withstand the attacks from the great powers led by the Haran family. We contribute the most among all the hidden groups, so they can't blame us. If Somerland really reaches the point of destruction, we will retreat in time and find another way. With the power of the King family, we will have absolutely no trouble protecting ourselves if we unite with some powerful family or sect.”

“Yes, very good. What Raymond said made more sense. Before the situation is completely clear, it is not advisable to place too many bets. If we win it will certainly benefit the King family, but if we lose, the thousand-year-old King family Sect will also be affected" Delmont said as he nodded.

During this critical time, Delmont refused to be too radical. With the idea of relaxing and keeping his name clean, he assumed it would be fine as long as he protected the millennial foundation of the King family during this turbulent time.

The core of the King family present all expressed their agreement. It's a fair compromise. They would not completely offend Somerland and they could even withdraw depending on the situation.

Neither Augustus nor Cameron objected. Apparently, they also found it somewhat impossible for the family to go with their own opinions. Therefore, they would accept a compromise that everyone could accept.

Both of them were strong contenders to become patriarchs of this generation. Taking one's opinion would embarrass the other. At this critical moment, the family is clearly not going to do this.

The reason why Delmont is still the patriarch of the family is because he fears a new patriarch will divide the family because both Augustus and Cameron each have their own supporters.

They could only wait until the situation stabilized before considering another patriarch. Just as Delmont was about to make a decision, a sharp female voice suddenly sounded in the hall.

“Grandfather, I have something to say!”

The core of the King family present looked to the source of the voice. The one who spoke was Selena, the beloved daughter among the younger generation of the King family. He has won the love of the family elders.

Selena is thinking about how to convince the family to support Somerland fully. He promises David that he will not expose David's powers. However, he does not want his family to miss the opportunity to befriend David.

Whether David was one of the people mentioned in the prophecy or not, he did not know.

However, he can be sure that David is the key to dealing with future disasters. He was a Late Stage God Rank in his early twenties. What concept is this?

The strongest combat power of the King family was only the Mid-God Rank, and the youngest among them was his grandfather Delmont. He was now over eighty years old. It was said that he broke through to the God Rank Late Stage over ten years ago.

He only broke through to the last Mid-God Rank at the age of 70, which was already very outstanding in family history. David was only in his early twenties and had reached the strength of a Late Stage God Rank. Selena feels that David was born to face the impending doom.

Based on Selena's intuition, she felt that there was something David was hiding, but at the same time, it felt really overwhelming. The reason for that was if David's open strength was one level higher, then he would be a Master at the highest Peak God Rank realm. This was the ultimate combat power that only the five major powers in the world possessed.

The King family, a family with a history of thousands of years, does not have it to this day. He was almost convinced that Somerland was playing a big game. The weakness they showed now was only to confuse the world. This is a great time to curry favor with Somerland and David. There's only one chance. Once missed, it will be too late to regret later on.

Therefore, Selena thought about it and said firmly, “Grandfather, I hope that the family will try their utmost to support the Somerland Disciplinary Team, support David, and help Somerland stabilize the situation in the country. Believe me, the benefits that families get will ultimately be beyond our imagination. This is an opportunity for our family to take off again, so don't miss it.”

After Selena said this, all the core of the King family at the scene was shocked, including her father, Augustus Spare, there was no attempt to support Somerland completely. This would completely tie the King and Somerland families together.

Once Somerland is unable to survive any longer, the King family will also be heavily involved. It might even damage the foundation of the King family that had survived for thousands of years. No matter how powerful the King family was, it could not be the opponent of the other four large groups in the world.

It was because they all had a Peak God Rank that was their decision maker, but the King family did not. This will be a big bet.

The sisters Augustus and Cameron had argued despite their differing views, but they did not dare to risk the whole family in such a big gamble as Selena did. It would be crazy to do that. If they were careless, the entire King family would be ruined.

Delmont stared blankly at Selena. Not only Delmont, but all of the core of the King family present also saw this blessed princess of the King family. They found out that he was not joking. Instead, there was a very serious expression on his face.

“Selena, take back what you just said. Family matters like this are not something a girl like you can discuss.” Augustus.

“Dad, believe me, I will not joke with the entire King family. This is our chance. If we miss it, we won't have another chance" Selena said seriously.

“You ..” Augustus shook his head and said nothing.

He knows his daughter's character. He would not say such uncertain things recklessly. Since he dared to say it, he must have a basis to do so. He knew his daughter had been in contact with David at a grand event of selected people in Somerland. He might have found something.

“Selena, if you want us to try our hardest to support Somerland and David, you have to give me a reason! You should know that once we bond with Somerland, it will be difficult to back off and we will have no way out" Delmont said as he looked at Selena.

Selena was also a little anxious at that moment. That's because he hasn't found a way to convince Delmont.

He knows how strong David is.

However, he could not tell them.

‘What should I do?

I can't convince Grandpa if I don't tell you the truth.’

Everyone was waiting for Selena's answer. They wanted to see what reason he had to make the family risk everything.

“Grandfather, please trust me.”

Selena held back for a long time, only to say this.

“I believe you, but there are so many people in the King family. How could they trust you? It's not just about us, it's the whole family. If you want us to support Somerland, you have to say something to convince everyone. If you can't, then I'm sorry, I can't promise you this" Delmont said.

Selena's panicking. As a member of the King family, he could not help but see the family lose this opportunity to take off.

“Grandfather, it's because.. It's because I've become David.” said Selena with a flushed face.

“WHAT?"

The core members of the King family present all looked at Selena in surprise. They never thought Selena would give such an excuse. Even Augustus would not think of it. The daughter he had raised for over 20 years had secretly belonged to someone else?

‘When did this happen? Could it be that it happened towards the end of the grand event of the chosen people? No wonder he didn't go with me and went straight to the Dark Cape. But this development is a bit too fast, isn't it? David, that bastard. He tricked my wonderful daughter secretly.'

Although Augustus had a high opinion of David, he could not accept it upon hearing this.

“A-What did you say?” Delmont asked, returning to his senses.

“Grandfather, I'm actually David's woman now, which means David is now the son-in-law of the King family. Even if we don't help him now, with this relationship, the King family can't escape and we will also be involved. We must do our best to help Somerland through this difficult time so that we are not left behind in the situation that will happen" Selena said.

It's decided now. He decided to be careful for the sake of his family. Although they might not understand him now, he believed that soon the whole family would thank him.

“You... You... You are stupid!” Delmont said bitterly and hatefully.

“Grandfather, even though I'm stupid, we have no other choice. Plus, when the family sent me to the grand event of the chosen people in Somerland, wasn't it so that I could marry the number one among the younger generation in Somerland? Plus, David was recognized as the number one person among the younger generation in Somerland, so I advanced first and managed to become his woman first. I act according to the family settings.”
