The Strongest Man in the Universe

Chapter 403

Galactic Warships were speeding in the void. Inside the ship were David and the others. This time, David is not just taking the Galactic Warship from Planet Grim. He also brought the middle-aged man who had been planted with the slave mark.

Or rather, the middle-aged man insisted on following David and wanted to serve him as his master because David had avenged him and the people on his planet. David has pity on this man. After all, he was almost like this guy.

The middle-aged man was named Balu. He had a peaceful and prosperous life on a small planet. According to Balu, the planet is very small even smaller than the moon. Not many people lived there, so it was still very primitive. This was until the Grim family left and destroyed their peaceful life hundreds of years ago.

At that time, Balu was very young, and his father was the head of the planet. After the Grim family imprints their slave mark on the planet, Balu and his family are taken to Planet Grim. From that day on, they lived like slaves.

Hundreds of years passed, and Balu did not know if anyone was still alive on the planet. Therefore, he hopes David can bring him back to his planet to examine his homeland.

To be honest, David could not refuse this request. He's not cold-blooded. Although he will waste more time, David decides to bring Balu back to his planet. The feedback of slave marks to their owners is closely related to the talent of the victim.

Although the Grim family planted their slave mark on the planet Balu, as the planet was still primitive and had limited talent, the feedback to the Grim family was not very good. Therefore, the Grim family had never improved in these hundreds of years.

If it were Earth, then the story would be different. David from another timeline said that after declining families such as the Tuffin family planted slave marks on Earth, they experienced a rise. Afterwards, Pavan, the eldest son of the family, became the Lord of the Milky Way.

In that timeline, the status of the Tuffin family was even higher than that of the Barlowe family, which was also the royal family of the Milky Way Empire. This shows how talented and rare the inhabitants of the earth are.

“Master, since you are so powerful, do you know how to remove that slave mark? I will pay whatever the price if I can remove the slave's mark.” Balu asked expectantly.

David did not answer. He shook his head to show that he did not know.

From what he knew, the bloodline curse of the slave mark was impossible to remove after it was planted. At the very least, such a level 3 civilization of the Milky Way could not erase it. It is not known whether other high-level civilizations can.

Even if David was strong and strongest in the Milky Way, he had limited knowledge. After all, he was from a remote planet like Earth and did not spend much time growing.

Balu was disappointed when he saw David shaking his head. If someone as powerful as David, who viewed the Grim family as ants, did not know how to fix it, then who else?

“You need not be too disappointed. Although we have no way of eliminating it here in the Milky Way, it does not mean that high-level civilizations do not either. We need to find out and find a way out for this problem.” David entertains

“I understand, Master. From now on, I will do anything to repay your kindness. I hope you can take care of me.” Balu said after kneeling in front of David and prostrating to him.

”Balu, you don't need to do this.” said David.

“Master, I won't wake you you you didn't say yes. I have no destination. I will only have a glimmer of hope if I am with you. Although I know I am weak, I promise your enemies will step over my corpse first if they want to hurt you.” Balu said firmly.

David knows Balu is sincere. In retrospect, David decided to defend Balu. He needs someone to work for him now. Right now, the people driving the Galaxy battleship are Pavan's people.

To be honest, David doesn't like this. But he was unable to find anyone suitable for the job, so he saved them. David would feel more comfortable using someone like Balu.

"Alright, you should stay with me from now on, but if you want, you can leave at any time. I'm not gonna stop you."

“Thank you, Master! Thank you Master!” Balu answered happily while prostrating non-stop.

“It's enough, stop it. I'm a very laid-back person, and I don't like this complicated etiquette at all. Don't do that to me again."

After David said that, he waved his hand and helped Balu with the strength of his mind.

“Yes, Master, I understand." After Balu said that, he took a step back.

“Balu, do you remember where your home is?”

“Yes, I still remember. Although so much time has passed, I always want to return to visit my homeland.”

“Go to the control room and tell them the direction. We'll stop by your house first.”

“Thank you, Master! I will never forget your kindness and grace!”

“I told you not to be too polite with me. Go.”

Balu left the room happily and headed to the control room. He was going back to the panet where he lived, so he was very excited.

After Balu left, David said, “Mia, we may need to change our plans. We're not going to Planet Royal right now because I just remember there's a lot of things I have to do.“

“It's up to you. I'll go wherever you go." said Mia.

“We'll please Balu first before doing the rest."

“Yes, David.”

Callisto Planet in the Kingdom

Today, the residence of the Callisto family is very crowded. This was because they had a family meeting, and almost all of the cores had returned. This time, they were looking for the first heir.

Initially, three people were entitled to fight over this position, Fergus, Beck, and Micah Callisto. Right now, Fergus is paralyzed. Since then, only Beck and Micah are left. Once the head of the next generation of youth was determined, the title would not be given to anyone else unless something significant happened.

The head of the younger generation will be the next head of the family. Everyone thought that since Fergus was paralyzed, the family felt a sense of urgency, so they wanted to determine the next heir as quickly as possible. Moreover, it was the Grandmasters who announced this.

At first the family was very worried when Fergus was paralyzed. After all, he used to be a direct descendant who was entitled to fight for the title of head of the younger generation. Even if he was paralyzed, they would have to find out who did that and make them pay for it.

But Fergus refused to answer when his family asked. Back then, he had already fused with the Nine Head Serpent's genes, and his strength skyrocketed. Therefore, he wanted to take revenge on David himself.

In addition, his family learned from Heathcliffe that this was related to the Boundless Planet. The Boundless Planet is linked to the Lutgen family and the Princess Astrid incident. Therefore, the Callisto family stopped investigating him.

They will only decide once this urgent matter is over, the Callisto family will not remain silent after David incapacitates Fergus. This was not because a second rank family among the eight leading families would do so.

But, due to being in contact with Princess Astrid and the Sangruil Sinners, the Callisto family had no choice but to tread carefully.

The selection of the Callisto family's first heir goes according to plan. It's free if they only have the power but can't convince the masses. Strength is necessary for large groups, but more importantly it coordinates the affairs of the whole family, leads the family down the right path, and strengthens the family.

Therefore, it is not a simple power struggle. The candidates will also be tested for other skills. Although Beck and Micah are the most likely leaders of the younger generation, that doesn't mean they're the only ones taking part in this election. Other direct descendants also took part.

No one could be sure if there would be a dark horse among them. But after a full day, there was no sign of a dark horse. The selection of the Callisto family's first heir concludes with Beck's victory with a bit of luck. But, even if Beck wins, he doesn't get any official recognition from the grandmaster.

He could only become the head of the younger generation if the Grandmasters admitted to it. Back then, he would control the entire family after the current head abdicated.

“Callisto family selection is over. Please move to the reception hall to wait for the Grandmaster so that we can pay our respects to our ancestors. After that, we'll announce the results."

The family core moved into the Callisto family reception hall one after another. On the way, Beck received blessings from everyone in high spirits. At the moment, it's decided. Beck will almost certainly be the next leader of the younger generation. Nothing's gonna change that anymore.

“Congratulations on his victory, Master Beck! Once the Grandmaster is here and we pay our respects to the ancestors, you will become the head of the younger generation.”

“Everyone expects you to win the last game, Master Beck! You will definitely lead the Callisto family to be more successful in the future.”

“Master Beck is a genius and rare family descendant. You were chosen in the Royal Region, so it's not strange if you won the last match.”

Countless family cores praised Beck. Beck did not dare to act recklessly when faced with so much goodwill from the core elders.

Even though he was only the head of the younger generation, he needed the support of these people after he became the true head and took over the family. If not, his life will be difficult. He could only stop being afraid of these people after he took complete control of the family.

“Thank you, Elder. From now on, I will need your support. If I make a mistake, I hope you can forgive me" Beck said.

"Master Beck, you're too polite. You are the head of the Callisto family's younger generation. Who would we support if not you?”

“That's right, we will definitely listen to your orders, Master Beck.”

Micah followed behind silently. He noticed everyone around Beck who kept praising him. He would be lying if he said he wasn't envious. Not only was he envious, but he was also jealous and hateful.

If Beck didn't exist, this would all be his. Even if Beck is almost certain to be the head of the younger generation, Micah won't. If something happens to Beck halfway through, like it happened to Fergus, everything will go back to Micah.

Micah looked at Beck in front of him with hatred in his eyes. The Callisto family made small talk and arrived at the reception hall of the Callisto family. The head of the family, Marco Callisto, did not sit in the main seat. Instead, he sat in the first row of the hall.

This was because the grandmaster was coming soon, and a chair had been reserved for him. All kinds of fine food and wine were placed on the tables in the hall.

After everyone sat down neatly, Marco stood up and said, “Thank you for everyone's hard work. Let's party. We will pay our respects to our ancestors after the grandmaster is here. Then, we will announce the last candidate of the head of the younger generation."

The middle of the hall became lively. As soon as they ate, someone raised their wine glass to toast Beck, the next leader of the younger generation. Beck did not refuse.

For those with strength, wine is like a daily drink to them. It will not affect their body no matter how much they drink. Micah looked at Beck with envy, jealousy, and hate.

Everyone toasts Beck when Micah drinks alone. This is the reality. A day ago, a few family nuclei still surrounded him in family gatherings like this. Now, there's no one around.

Time passes slowly. While everyone was drinking happily, two people walked into the reception room. All the family nuclei stopped what they were doing and returned to their seats. The one walking in front was an old man. That person was one of the five grandmasters of the Callisto family.

Cyrus Callisto, Mid-Infinity Ranker. Meanwhile, there was a man hiding behind a black robe behind Cyrus. The man covered himself completely. No one can see his face.

When they saw the old man, the elders of the Callisto family were shocked. According to ordinary practice, Cyrus, a Mid-Infinity Ranker, would never come here. Those five Grandmasters were Infinity Rankers. Two were at Mid-Infinity Rank, while the other three were at Infinity Rank Beginners.

Normally, they would dispatch a Grandmaster at the Infinity Ranking Beginners for an event like this. But this time, Cyrus, a Mid-Infinity Ranker, was here. It seems that grandmasters really appreciate this election.

Everybody saw Beck. Although this was only a small change, but it could indirectly prove how much the Grandmaster valued the head of this younger generation very much. Beck was so excited that he trembled. If Grandmaster Cyrus comes here, it shows how much the family appreciates him.

He decided secretly that he wanted to lead the family to go further. Even if they could not compare to the first rank of the Drake family, they should be far ahead of the family behind them.

Cyrus walked to the main seat without saying a word. The black-robed man also followed behind him calmly. At this moment, the elders in the hall stood up. They put their hands together, bowed, and greeted respectfully,

“Greetings, Grandmaster!“

"Sit down, everyone.” said Cyrus calmly.

“Thank you, Grandmaster”

When everyone was sitting down, Cyrus asked, “Have you chosen the head of the younger generation?”

The chief, Marco, came forward and replied, “ Grandmaster, we've got it."

Then, he turned to say to Beck, “Come here, Beck."

Beck calmed his excited heart and walked to the center of the hall.

He bowed and said, “Salam, Grandmaster. I hope you're okay."

Cyrus looked at Beck and said, "Good, you're not bad. I must praise you for standing out among so many Callisto.” children

"Thank you!" beck is excited.

"Don't rush to thank me. You still have to beat one more person to become the head of the younger generation.”

“Who?" Beck lifted his head and asked.

“I!" The black-robed man suddenly said.

Beck felt that this voice sounded familiar, but he could not remember who it was. Not only him, the others in the hall also felt the same way.
