He can hear that something is not right because
pearl's tone of voice.
“Nothing, you have to tell me where you are.”
After Pearl finished speaking, she quickly added, “And don't lie!”
“I... uhuk uhuk! I... uhuk uhuk!”
Before David finished speaking, he coughed a few times.
Pearl heard David coughing continuously and felt a sharp pain in her heart. He could not hold back his tears anymore and they were flowing profusely. She quickly covered her mouth with her hands, trying not to let herself cry out loud.
“David, you.. A-What's wrong with you?” Pearl asked in a sobbing voice.
“I'm fine. Uhuk Uhuk Uhuk! Miss Pearl, this is just a mild flu, don't worry.” replied David.
“Where are you now?”
“I have something to take care of in Falconia, I'll be right back, uhuk uhuk... Miss Pearl, you don't have to worry about me, it's my first time here, so I just. uhuk uhuk, not used to that. I'll get well soon.” David's voice coughs constantly coming through the phone.
Pearl felt as if her heart had been pierced with a knife. He's not stupid. Mosley's family is destroyed, and David happens to be in Falconia. In addition, due to his own affairs, David becomes a mortal enemy of the Mosley family.
How did such a coincidence happen?
As the general manager of East League Capitals, Pearl could be considered to be in the top class. He had long known about the existence of martial artists. The physique of a martial artist was much better than that of an ordinary person. They can't catch a cold. David must have been hurt.
After connecting all the dots, Pearl was almost certain that David was the one who broke into the Mosley residence with a mask and caused all the casualties. Plus, he only did this because he wanted to avenge her. Now, he was even injured for wanting to avenge her.
“David, can you stop lying to me? Are you hurt?” Pearl asked while crying.
“B-How can I get hurt? Miss Pearl, stop thinking too much.”
“Yesterday, someone wearing a mask broke into the Mosley family home. They destroyed the ancestral home of the Mosley family that had existed for hundreds of years and caused many casualties for the Mosley family. David, are you that guy? Other than you, I can't think of anyone else who would take such a big risk to do such a thing.”
“Nona Pearl, so you... you already know? I plan to go back and tell you. uhuk uhuk.... as a surprise.”.
When David sees that he has been revealed, he decides to stop hiding. Anyway, Pearl will find out sooner or later. It was just that he was surprised Pearl would get the news so quickly.
“David, why are you doing this? You didn't even think of your own safety to avenge me. If something happens to you, what should I do?" Pearl finally could not help herself and shouted loudly.
“Nona Pearl, don't cry. I'm sure that I can do it. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so stupid as to face them head-on." David quickly entertained.
“You sure? If you're sure, why are you hurt?"
“It's just a minor injury. I'll be fine after a few days of recovery. The Mosley family was almost self-destructed, and even their grandmaster was seriously injured. I believe they will not be able to recover for a long time. What do you think, Miss Pearl? Uhuk Uhuk Uhuk... I'm amazing, right?” david said proudly.
“David, do you think I would be happy if you did this? You're wrong!” Pearl said angrily while crying.
“Hah? Miss Pearl..me...”.
David didn't know how to answer for a while. Originally, the main purpose he had taken action against the Mosley family this time was to avenge Pearl. Since Walt the hedonist wants to use the deterrent powers of the Mosley family to force Pearl to submit to him, then he will act directly against the source.
He would crush Walt's hopes and let him die in despair. However, Miss Pearl's reply made her a little dazed.
‘Shouldn't Miss Pearl be happy and excited?
Why does he sound so angry?' David's confused.
"David, I hate Walt and I hope all the bad things in the world happen to everyone in his family, but I don't want you to get hurt. Even if you combine all the lives of the people in the Mosley family, they will be nothing compared to a single hair on your head. I don't want you to go to the Mosley family to avenge me, I don't want you to get hurt for me, I just want you to be healthy, do you understand?" pearl said while sobbing.
David stunned. He would be lying if he said he wasn't moved. She had not expected herself to have such an important place in Pearl's heart.
“Nona Pearl, stop crying, I understand.” whispered David.
“You don't understand! If you understand, you won't do it and make me worry so much about you."
“Miss Pearl, this is just what you think in your heart, but do you know what I think in my heart? I won't let anyone treat you like that, no matter who he is or how strong his background is, I won't let him bully you like that. I'm confident to fight them this time, but even if I don't, I'll definitely make the Mosley family pay the price."
Now, it was Pearl's turn to be stunned. He should be happy at the moment because David's words show that he is also very important to him. However, he could not stop his tears.
“David, I want to see you now. I want to see you right now, right away! Wait for me!” Pearl hung up after speaking.
After he packed up, he headed to the airport. David is in the town closest to the Mosley family estate in Falconia today. He smiled bitterly as he listened to the tone on the phone. He was going back to Somerland, so why did Miss Pearl come here this time?
‘Forget it, I'll just wait for him.’
“Uhuk Uhuk!”
After that, David coughed a few times.
This time, although the Mosley residence was badly damaged, the entire Mosley family also suffered heavy losses. However, Marlon was not weak either. After all, he was already a supreme master at Peak God Rank a few decades ago.
Marlon discovers weakness in David, which causes David to suffer a severe blow and injure his organs. Although not too serious, it took several days to recover. That's why he didn't come home yesterday. David is an expert in traditional medicine, so he knows very well his condition.
He shouldn't have moved too much after being injured yesterday, and he should have stayed for another day. After last night's treatment, she felt much better, and she's ready to come back today. However, Pearl knew what had happened and was coming to her place. So, David could only wait for Pearl to come.
In the afternoon.
Tok Tok Tok!
There was a knock on the door of the hotel room where David was staying. He got up and went to open the door. As he opened the door, David saw a beautiful, crying face. Before she could answer, she smelled a sweet scent and her body was tightly embraced by Pearl. David passively took a few steps back.
Then, he gently closed the door. Pearl just hugged David tightly and did not speak. Meanwhile, David also kept quiet wisely. After a few minutes, Pearl let David go. Then, he just stared at her silently while David also looked down at the pretty face in front of him. His eyes are a little red and swollen. Apparently, she had been crying for a long time.
“Nona Pearl ..”
“What's the problem? What's wrong? David, did I hurt you? Over where? Show me!” Pearl quickly got up from David and asked nervously.
“It's okay, Miss Pearl, it's just a minor wound. I'm a doctor, so I understand my body's situation and I'll be fine in two more days.” David sat down and said.
He did it intentionally. His injury was not serious, and after treating himself last night, he was almost cured. The reason for that was that he was worried that things would soon spiral out of control. Judging from Miss Pearl's attitude, it didn't seem like she was going to give up until she got what she wanted. Therefore, he could only do this to appease Miss Pearl.
Even though she had been holding back for a long time, it would be unfair for Miss Pearl if she slept with him like this since she already had a boyfriend.
“David... You... Where do you hurt yourself? Tell me!” Pearl asked worriedly
“I experienced a bit of trauma in my chest, but I'm fine now.” replied David
“What? Chest injury? Injury to your internal organs is a big deal. Come on, David, I'll take you to the hospital.” Pearl stood up and tried to drag David to the hospital for an examination.
“Miss Pearl, I don't need to go to the hospital. The doctors at the hospital are not as good as me. It's really just a minor wound. I won't joke with my body.” said David.
“What is true?” Pearl asked in disbelief.
“I'm serious!” David answered firmly.
“Good. If you're not feeling well, be sure to tell me and I'll take you to the hospital."
“OK!”
Both were silent for a moment. Pearl was the first to ask, “David, is what you said on the phone true?”
“What?” ask David.
“That you won't let anyone bully me, no matter who it is.”
“Of course, Miss Pearl, unless you are willing, no one in this world can force you to do anything, not even a God.” David replied seriously.
“Then, sleep with me now.” Pearl said as she looked at David.
“Hah?” David stunned.
“I said, I want you to sleep with me now.” repeat Pearl.
“Nona Pearl, we can't do this. I'll do something else, but not this because it's unfair to you" David said with a wry smile.
“Why not? How is that not fair to me? I like you and you have me in your heart, David. I cannot fall in love with anyone else in my life except you.”
“A... I already have a girlfriend.” said David in a heavy voice..
“I don't care! I just want you! I just want to have you, even if it's only an hour, David, can you leave me with good memories?” Tears streamed down Pearl's face again as she spoke.
“Miss Pearl, I can't. It's just that we're late to meet. Celia is my high school classmate. He has been waiting for me for a few years, so I cannot let him down.”
“Then why are you so good to me?”
“Because I also have you in my heart. I want to protect you and I don't want anyone to hurt you. Unfortunately, right now, I can't give you what you want" David said with a heavy heart.
He's in a lot of conflict right now. She already had Celia in her heart, but now, Pearl had also gotten into it. Can she see Pearl fall into another man's arms? Of course not. Therefore, he did not know what to do. It was like entering a dead end.
Pearl looked at David. None of them spoke, but he could not stop the tears from flowing. David could not stand the atmosphere in the room. Just now, he saw something different in the emotions shown through Pearl's eyes.
Therefore, he thought about it and said, “Miss Pearl, give me some time. If we are still alive after the disaster, I will definitely give you an answer, okay?”
“Does that catastrophe really exist?” ask Pearl.
“According to the records of some ancient sects, the catastrophe did exist, but no one knew what exactly it was.” replied David.
“When will disaster occur?”
“I don't know for sure.”
“If catastrophe doesn't come in another twenty or fifty years, will you let me continue like this?”
“Then let's set it for five years.”
“OK, then we agree.”
Pearl stopped crying.
He will be satisfied as long as there is hope. What she feared the most was that David would not offer her any hope and was immediately cold to her. If so, he would lose the meaning of existence in this life.
Now, David is a reason for her to live. Plus, he could still wait for another five years. Five years later, he was only thirty years old. Even though he was no longer young, he would be in his prime.
“Ya, we agreed.” replied David as well.
He had to do this.
At that moment, he saw despair in Pearl's eyes. This surprised him so much. If he finds no reason to delay this, David is afraid Pearl will do something stupid. When that happened, it was too late for him to feel regret.
However, if he went too far with Pearl now, he would disappoint Celia. The only way now is to postpone it as long as possible. He would decide when he finally could not delay it any longer.
Disaster is coming, and no one knows what the future holds. Since Mason said that the calamity really exists, it will most likely come eventually.
The mood finally subsided. Pearl is back to the way it was. His eyes were no longer full of despair, but were replaced by hope. David finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He originally wanted to leave by plane tonight. However, Pearl rejected whatever he said. He insisted that he rest for two more days and that he only return to the countryside after he recovers. David could only agree after seeing Pearl's stern gaze. Although she knows she's fine, but Pearl isn't.
Right now, after the two major events he and Mason created in Somerland, no one else dares to come out to cause trouble. The country is in a state of peace. Therefore, it made no difference if he returned earlier or later.
