The Strongest Man in the Universe

The Strongest Man in the Universe
Chapter 358



Led by the patrol ship Planet Boundless, the Octagon descends on a massive platform on Planet Boundless. After landing, David and Mia are first out of the Octagon, while the others follow behind them.


David is not at all worried that Pavan's former followers will talk nonsense because they all understand that their life and death are in David's hands. They will die on the spot if David activates the power of his mind.


As soon as the two got off the Octagon, someone immediately greeted them.


“Dance Series, hello! Lord Burke is waiting for you not far ahead.”


”Please lead the way!” said Mia.


“Please follow me."


As soon as the two exited the platform and walked through the corridor, they saw more than a dozen people waiting not far from there. Mia observed the crowd.


'Fergus? Why is he here?'


He was one of the many who pursued him and also one of the few matching supporters he set out to be. He had once thought, he would probably spend the rest of his life with this person.


Of course, that was before. Right now, Mia just wants to follow David. Although Fergus has a strong background, Mia has a premonition that Fergus is not as polite and as good as he looks on the surface.


She always had an indescribable feeling of depression when she was with him. However, he did not feel that way with David. Mia trusted her intuition, so from the bottom of her heart, she preferred to be with David.


Right now, Fergus, Burke, and the others are also seeing Mia. But when they saw David beside her, they all felt doubtful.


‘Why did this guy come out with Mia?'


Everyone knows that Mia only has women around her. Why are there men now?'


“Ha ha ha ha! Welcome, Fairy Dance. This is an honor!" Burke laughed out loud and greeted.


At the same time, he stretched out his rough hand and was about to hold Mia's hand. She wanted to feel what her delicate little hand felt like.


But Mia did not welcome his hand. Instead, he placed his hands on his stomach and bowed.


“Lord Burke, nice to meet you.”


Burke had extended his large hand, but he was unable to hold Mia's hand. It makes him feel a little awkward.


As he frowned and was about to explode, Fergus took a step forward and said, “For a long time no see, Mia."


"Hello, Mr. Fergus" said Mia as she bowed towards Fergus.


"Mia, you don't have to be that nice to me. Who's this next to you?" ask Fergus while looking at David.


"This is Mr. David. If it wasn't for him, I probably wouldn't have made it to Planet Boundless to see all of you.”


Fergus felt his heart beating. Immediately, boundless anger began to appear in his chest. The killing intent in his heart overflowed, and he could barely resist killing David on the spot.


'So this is all b*stard's fault! Otherwise, Mia will be mine now!‘


But Fergus is the third direct descendant of the Callisto family, so he's shrewd. He managed to control his emotions in just the blink of an eye. But, David managed to detect it using the power of his mind.


David tilted his head to look at Fergus. The killing intent he felt just now came from this person. Although subtle and the person manages to control it, it still cannot escape the power of David's mind.


David was a little confused. Why did this person have killing intent towards him when they had just met for the first time? When he used the power of his mind to check the extreme possessiveness in Fergus' eyes, then looked back at Mia, he understood.


'So he's the reason.'


The other party must have misunderstood his relationship with Mia. This situation happened to him more than once, he had found something similar to Celia. After that, he almost exterminated the Chasez family. From Mia's point of view, Fergus' status wasn't that low. But, if Fergus dares to take action against David secretly, David doesn't mind repeating what he did to Chasez's family to him.


“What is going on? What problem did you encounter, Fairy Dance? I want to see who dares to touch the guest I invited. Don't they want to live again?” Burke said with a horrible look.


“Lord Burke, you don't have to worry. We had just met a group of space pirates on the way, and they chased us out of the Milky Way's core. If Mr. David happens to be nowhere near me to save me, I might not make it to this banquet" Mia said sadly.


“Space pirates? How dare those bastards appear at the core of the Milky Way? They must be tired of living because they dared to take action against my guests. Fairy Dance, rest assured, I'll tell my father about this matter and have him bring people to clean up this lawbreaking bastard."


Burke's father, Ramos, was a key figure in the military of the Milky Way Empire. Thus, he could mobilize the imperial army to get rid of the space pirates. But, these space pirates should not be underestimated either.


They are not without basis. Some gangs of famous space pirates are often supported by big guys in secret. In many cases, before the army could come to clear them, they had received the news and retreated for a while.


“Then I want to thank you, Lord Burke. Even though Mr. David wiped out all the space pirates that were chasing me. If General Ramos could come to suppress them, it would also make passing businessmen feel more comfortable while traveling."


It was only then that Burke and the others began to look at David. Since he was able to save Mia and kill the space pirates that were chasing her, David might not be an ordinary person.


“May I know where David came from? Maybe some of our elders know him.” asked Fergus.


He wanted to know more about David. Knowing ourselves and our enemies can help us win a hundred battles. David spoils his plans, so Fergus is unlikely to dispel his anger towards him. But, before Fergus does anything, he must first understand David's background.


"I'm just a lazy commoner" replied David


"David, you must be kidding me. How could a slacker have the power to kill a group of powerful space pirates so easily?"


“I am a slacker. I don't care whether you believe it or not.” David said as he shrugged.


“David, do you disrespect me?” Fergus asked in a wicked tone.


“It's up to you.” said David indifferently.


David had no intention of feigning courtesy towards someone who was narrow-minded and who had shown murderous intent to him when they first met. As soon as he got off the Octagon, he unleashed the power of his mind. The strongest person here was only a Late Stage Cosmos Ranker.


After paying 10 billion Galaxy Dollars to the Meteor Chamber, David received 100 luxury points. Then, he spent 80 luxurious points to increase his mind power to Cosmos level 10. His physique and strength of mind had reached level 10 Cosmos.


Currently, David's combat power had reached the Celestial Rank Partial. No one on Boundless Planet could block his blow if he released all of his energy.


David's words surprised everyone present. Even Burke looked at him in surprise. ‘Who is this kid? How dare he disrespect Fergus like that? Either he's an idiot who doesn't know Fergus' identity, or his background isn't inferior to Fergus', and that's why he dared to do this. In the Milky Way, not many powers could compete with the Callisto family. Everyone can count everything with two hands, but none of them have the last name Lidell.'


Fergus was stunned too. He stared at David for a long time before he could return to his senses. How long had it been since his friends dared to talk to him like this?


As Mr. Fergus of the Callisto family, and one of the strong contenders for the would-be head of the family, even the host of this banquet, Lord Burke of the Boundless Planet, who had just barged into Cosmos Rank, was, wouldn't dare to talk to him like this.


He was just a punk who suddenly appeared beside Mia. Who gave him that courage? Could it be because he saved Mia and killed some trash, so now he thought she was invincible?


“Good! Very nice! You are so great! David, I will remember you.” Fergus said with gritted teeth.


If Mia wasn't here, she would've killed David on the spot.


“I'm always good.” replied David calmly.


“Mr Fergus, please don't mind this. Mr. David has been out of the Milky Way for years and has just returned from an expedition from the edge of the Milky Way, so he doesn't know much about the current structure of the Milky Way Empire or about you.” Mia explained quickly.


Everyone is dumbfounded. It seems David has just returned from an expedition on the edge of the Milky Way. It's worth it that he dares to talk to Fergus like that. Situations like this were not uncommon in the Milky Way Empire.


If one could find the ancient ruins left behind by the powerful or find the original planet of life, they might be able to prosper soon. But, the people who will take so much risk are generally individuals who are not very likeable but are unwilling to keep quiet and accept their fate.


“I see, you just came back from exploring outside. No wonder you dared to speak to me like this. It seems like you really don't know much about the situation in the Milky Way Empire! But since you saved Mia, I won't fight with you today. I hope you can behave yourself."


“Thank you, Mr Fergus!” Mia thanks him.


David initially wanted to say something. This Mr. Fergus showed murderous intent the first time they met just because he was with Mia. On the surface, he was a simple man, but secretly, he was narrow-minded.


This guy is like a cold, venomous snake, and he might bite David one day. David's usual practice for this potential danger is to take action first and prevent it before it happens.


Fergus' status is not low. David only needed to trigger him with a few words before he took action. In this way, David can solve the dangers hidden in place.


But, before David could say anything, Mia touched him lightly. He thought about it and decided to forget it.


‘I will protect Mia's dignity and not complicate it. Anyway, I'm not used to this place. If I want to gain a foothold here in the future and spend money to earn luxury points, I still need Mia's help! I have to prioritize that first.'


Therefore, David just smiled and said nothing. Burke and the others understood now. They thought David was a strong man who could fight Fergus head-on, but who knew that he was actually a clueless idiot.


As the host, Burke needs to say something now.


“Dance Series, please come with me. We will hold a welcoming reception for you.”


“Thank you, Lord Burke.” said Mia.


The group followed Burke. They originally wanted Mia to walk in the middle, but she refused. Mia insists that she will walk with David behind, leaving Fergus even more annoyed at David.
