The Strongest Man in the Universe

Chapter 399

"You said it was David who would offend them, not me. Before you know someone, it's better to be their friend than to be their enemy. Who knew if he was hiding his extraordinary strength or identity? Let him go. We have to go back now. I can finally make my family proud. I want to see how they'll reward me." Callan left after he said that.

The old man followed behind him. Inside the Octagon that just left Planet Staub.

“David, are we going to Planet Royal now?" ask Mia.

"No, we will go to the Grim family first.” replied David.

“Family Grim?”

“Ya, family Grim.”

“Why?”

“We will ask for an explanation. Lucifer lied to me just now. Not only did he waste my time, he even tried to disrespect you. How can we just let this go?”

“David, forget it. The Grim family was ranked fourth among the eight leading families. You can't compare them to the Tuffin family, who will be off the list. We might not get anything if we go there.”

After Mia said that, she recalled something and added, “David, instead of me underestimating you. I know you're strong, and you're not afraid of them. But I don't think that's necessary. Anyway, we didn't lose anything.”

“What do you mean? I lost so much time. Also, don't you see how Lucifer wants to kill me? I can't let this go. Besides, I have other goals too."

“What is it?" ask Mia.

“Because you have decided to follow me, I have to show you how strong I am so that you will not be afraid and nervous to do anything in the future.“

"I'm sorry, David. I've humiliated you.” whispered Mia apologized.

"Well, you don't have to apologize to me. Just listen to me. We'll go to the Grim family for an explanation, then we'll head to Planet Royal." David decides.

“Ya, David.” replied Mia.

The Octagon begins to accelerate towards the planet where the Grim family lives. At this time, Lucifer was on the Milky Way Warship heading to his residence. Although the two ships were departing one after another, the distance between their journeys was not much different. But the Milky Way Warships were much faster than the Octagon.

Lucifer is awake. But he still could not accept the fact that it had been defeated by Callan. He still could not understand this incident. Why would the Black Demon Palm, the fighting skills taught by its grandmaster be able to lose its effect?

His grandmaster inspected his Black Demon Palm before he left the family, and it had indeed reached the initial level. If he could hit Callan with a sneak attack, he would not be able to handle the Black Demon Palm.

Moreover, he had used the Black Demon Palm many times, but Callan was still alive and well. He was not affected at all. Either there was something wrong with his Black Demon Palm, or Callan had the skill to fight the Black Demon Palm.

If it's the first one, it'll be easy. He could ask the Grandmaster to take a look at him after he returned. If the latter, then it would be troublesome. He should notify the Grandmaster as soon as possible.

The Grandmaster's threat against them would be reduced if the Elrod family had a way to fight the Black Demon Palm. This is bad news for the Grim family.

Three days later. Grim Planet.

This is where the Grim family, one of the eight leading families in the Milky Way, lives. The Grim family was ranked fourth among the eight leading families.

They were extremely strong, and a declining family like the Tuffin family could not compare to them. The Grim Family was one of the giants even among the Royal Region.

The Milky Way warship descends on Planet Grim. When Lucifer came out, the people waiting for him took him to the main residence. The core of the Grim family was waiting for him here.

After three days, they learn about Master Lucifer's fight with Master Callan in an arena on Planet Staub. In the end, Callan defeats Lucifer even being trampled and humiliated.

This matter had spread throughout the entire Royal Region. The second rank of the family was close. One in the fourth rank, and one in the fifth rank, so they had long been hostile. This was not only a fight between the first two heirs, but also a fight between their families.

However, the results surprised everyone. Beyond a doubt, Lucifer suffered a crushing defeat. Now, the Grim family became the laughingstock of the entire Royal Region. Everyone would talk about this during their conversation.

How could the first heir of the Grim family be so weak?

Does this mean they have no more promising offspring now?

After all, Lucifer has really humiliated the Grim family.

Although he was unable to change the fact that he had lost, his family still needed to know what had actually happened. Lucifer had been cultivating with the Grandmaster this year, so how would he lose to Callan?

If the Grandmaster found out about this, he would be furious.

"Right then, you were on par with Callan, and now you were easily defeated after cultivating with me for so many years? You even let him step on you? Isn't that the same as telling the world that I'm a terrible teacher?"

Lucifer was taken to the hall. The hall was filled with people. Looks like they're going to have a trial together. There are many direct descendants in large families such as the Grim family. Today, the people who were on the scene were just a few parents who had important roles.

As the eldest son, Lucifer was terrified by such a difficult situation.

“The unfilial son, Lucifer, is here to meet all of you.”

Lucifer is standing in the middle of the hall. He put his hands together, bowed, and said respectfully.

As the firstborn and the first heir, he did not need to prostrate. If the other children made a serious mistake and humiliated the entire family, they would kneel on the floor begging for mercy. The scene was silent.

Nobody said anything. The head of the Grim family, Derry Grim, said nothing as he sat in the main seat. Of course, the others would be careful not to speak before him. Lucifer knew he had humiliated his family and did not dare to be rash anymore.

“I have insulted the family and caused severe damage to the surname. I beg the family elder to punish me.“ Lucifer spoke again.

“Good if you know you have humiliated us. Do you know how long we haven't been humiliated like this? Plus, you, the eldest son and first heir of the family, are the one who caused great damage to the family name and made us the laughingstock of so many people in the Royal Region. How do you expect us to face the family ancestors?” Derry scolded loudly.

“Grandfather, I was wrong! I'm willing to accept the punishment.” Lucifer lowered his head and muttered.

“Do you think you can reverse losses by saying that? I don't mind you losing to someone else, but you lost to Elrod, that punk. You've always been balanced with him, but now you've lost to him not even being able to fight back! Do you want to tell everyone that Grandmaster is a terrible teacher?”

“Grandpa! I can't make any excuses about how I lost either. Until now I still think how it could happen!”

“Yes, Grandpa!”

Next, Lucifer told Derry everything. But he doesn't tell Derry how he set up a trap to lure David and Mia.

He had only said he had been locked up for so long, so after he had completed the Grandmaster's task and been released, he wanted to get out and clear his mind. Then, he came to the Staub Planet arena for fun.

Unexpectedly, Callan also came. After that, the two started fighting, and then the fight turned serious.

The hall was silent after Lucifer declared what had happened.

“You said you used the Black Demon Palm on Callan, but nothing happened?" ask Derry.

“Yes, Grandpa. The grandmaster had already examined me after I learned the Black Demon Palm, and that was why he let me out. But, against Callan punk it was useless.” said Lucifer sadly.

“Are you telling the truth? I'm telling you, you better not lie. Otherwise, do not think to step out of this door.”

“Crut, Grandpa. Believe this. Why would I lie about this? Although I'm usually a bit of a bastard, I wouldn't lie about such a serious matter." Lucifer patted his chest and promised.

“Then do you have any guesses about the cause? You are the party involved and the only one who knows what happened in the fight.”

“Grandfather, there are two possibilities. Maybe something is wrong with the Black Demon Palm that Grandmaster taught me, or the Elrod family has a way of fighting it" Lucifer replied.

After Lucifer said that, Derry scolded, “You bastard! What nonsense is that! Do you doubt the Grandmaster?”

“I'm just saying that it's a possibility. If the Black Demon Palm was not the case, then it meant that the Elrod family had a way to fight the Black Demon Palm. If not, why didn't it work on Callan? I don't just use it once. I used it many times, but it never worked. That's why I'm exhausted and gave the bastard a chance to defeat me.” roared Lucifer.

He knew he had to move her to family attention. Only by doing this could he escape. Otherwise, the grandmaster would not have let go of it so easily after causing great damage to the reputation of the Grim family.

If he could confirm that the Elrod family had a way to fight the Black Demon Palm, he might even get a reward! After all, the Elrod family was a mortal enemy. It was no joke if the enemies of the Grim family found a weakness in their fighting skills.

It would be better to find out and deal with it earlier than to find out when the two families were at war. If that happens, it will be too late.

Indeed, after Lucifer said that, the hall became rowdy. The core elders of the Grim family began to discuss amongst themselves.

They all know that this is not a laughing stock if Lucifer is telling the truth. The two families will fight sooner or later.

If the Elrod family hid this information and only revealed it while they were fighting, the Grim family would suffer considerable losses. Elrod's family may have turned things around and severely damaged the Grim family.

Lucifer is a good example of this. Before he knew the secret of the Elrod family, he spent a lot of his energy every time he used the Black Demon Palm. If Lucifer used the Black Demon Palm two or three times and still did not inflict any damage to the enemy, he would definitely lose.

Unless the enemy is also using their combat skills to fight against him. If so, he would have a chance as both sides would be equally exhausted. But Lucifer is clearly not talking about this. Callan did not use any combat skills to fight against his Black Demon Palm.

When everyone was busy discussing, the head of the family, Derry, spoke.

“Someone go and bring me someone from prison. We'll see if Lucifer's Black Demon Palm style works or not.”

Obviously, Derry was also aware of this seriousness, so he needed to test it out on someone. If Lucifer's Black Demon Palm was fine, they would have to tell the grandmaster about this.

“Ya, Mr. Derry.”

Immediately, someone stood up and replied before leaving the hall.

”Lucifer, if you tell the truth, the family will not only forgive you for your mistakes, you will even be rewarded.” Derry looked at Lucifer and said with satisfaction.

Derry wasn't as angry as he was, he was like everyone else. Derry looked grateful, and the other core family elders looked delighted as they looked at Lucifer.

‘This child is truly a family lucky star. The grandmaster, who had been trapped in his realm for so many years, suddenly got a breakthrough the moment Lucifer was born. Now, after he was given freedom, he immediately learned the big secret of their enemy.‘

Did the Elrod family really find any weakness in the Black Demon Palm? This is useless to other families, but the value of this information cannot be measured for the Grim family. Moreover, the chances of Lucifer's Black Demon Palm not functioning were too small. After all, it was the grandmaster who had examined it himself.

"Thank you, Grandpa! It is an honor for me to contribute to my family. But I felt bad for humiliating the family right after I came out of seclusion.” Lucifer said humbly and apologized.

Even though he said that, he was overjoyed in his heart. He finally dodged this bullet. Not only did he dodge this bullet, he even gained more recognition from his family, further cementing his position as a good-luck carrier for the Grim family. In the future, he will have more speaking rights in the family.

“Master Lucifer, please don't say that. You are the lucky star of the family. Were it not for you, we would not have known about the Elrod family knowing the weakness of the Black Demon Palm. We will suffer greatly while we are engaged in battle in the future.”

“It's true! Master Lucifer is our lucky star. When you were born, Grandmaster had a breakthrough, and now, you helped us avoid trouble ahead.“

"I wonder how you hurt, Master Lucifer. I have some good treasures of heaven and world to treat serious wounds. I bought it with a lot of money, and I hope you're willing to use it."

"I have pellets here, too. It is effective for healing the body. Please accept this.”

The core elders were concerned about Lucifer's injuries and all of them gave him treasures that could heal his wounds. They know Lucifer's position in the family is unshakable now. In the future, the family will be handed over to Lucifer. Therefore, it will be useful in the future if they infiltrate into a relationship with Lucifer now.

Derry looked at this scene with a smile on his face. Lucifer is his granddaughter. Therefore, he was happy to see this sight.

"Thank you for your concern, elders. Since all of you are very sincere, it would be impolite if I refused.” replied Lucifer while grinning.

Then, he received the treasure that the elders had given him. Those items were extremely valuable, so it would be useless if not taken away.

"You're too humble, Master Lucifer. You've been hurt for the sake of the family, so as your parents, this is what we have to do."

"Yes. Master Lucifer, you do a lot for the family, so this is nothing.”

After making small talk, everyone returned to their seats. Lucifer was also asked to sit on one side to wait for the prisoner.

“Lucifer, how are you doing right now?" ask Derry.

“Grandfather, I just got tired. But I'm fine now.” replied Lucifer.
