The Strongest Man in the Universe

Chapter 407

“What can happen?" astrid asked with a confused face.

“If I'm not wrong, you're thinking of someone. Who'sis that? Is it a man?”

Astrid's stunned. He looked at his chest.

“Mother!” She screamed when she understood what her mother meant.

“I-I-Mother, a-a-what are you talking about?" Astrid asked while blushing in embarrassment.

His stuttering showed the nervousness he felt.

“You still deny it? You've been nervous since I started questioning you, Astrid. I birthed you. Do you think I won't know what you're thinking?" Gamora asked teasingly.

“I-mom, a-I really don't.” The red hue on Astrid's face had descended to her neck.

“Astrid, you are at an age when you start to have romantic feelings, and it's only natural that you have a crush on someone. I felt the same way when I met your father. But I was just wondering what kind of man he was. Do you miss him so much that you spend half a day thinking about him? Can you tell me?”

“I-mom, I. I.."

Astrid stuttered, unable to form a sentence even after a long time had passed. His mind is still fucked. He felt very nervous and agitated because others knew the secret he kept closest to himself.

It was difficult for him to accept it, even though that person was his mother, the person closest to him. Of course, what Astrid was most worried about now was whether her mother would ban this behavior.

After all, he had a sensitive identity. David is an adventurer. Astrid has been searching for information about David since returning to the Royal Planet.

However, there has been no strong family with the last name Lidell in the last dozen years, and no one to match David's identity. So Astrid knew David might come from a less powerful family or organization, and regardless of his strong skills he had developed from years of exploration, he did not have enough strength to support himself.

Astrid had been born into the royal family, and she knew how a strong family functions. Their families must be balanced if they want to get married. Even her mother, the Empress, was once one of the Lunar Palace's single women. Therefore, Astrid was afraid that her mother would forbid what she did.

"Don't worry, Astrid. Your father and I won't stop you as long as it's someone you like. We also have no special requirements about suitable families. After all, the entire Milky Way Empire is again under our control. Who else could be fit for that? But at least you should tell us what he is like, right?"

When Gamora finished speaking, she stopped thinking for a moment before continuing, “Also, you grew up in the presence of your father and brother, and they are your role models. I'm really curious about what power this guy has that keeps you thinking about it even after you come back.”

Astrid heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Gamora say that. He knew he would not be able to avoid this. So he decided to tell his mother the truth. He tells Gamora everything, from the moment David saves her to the moment they part.

When Astrid finished her story, Gamora was silent for a while before asking , “Astrid, how old is this David you're talking about?”

”I think he looks young he looks no more than two hundred years old." Astrid replied carefully.

"To be able to easily deal with a novice Celestial Rank Sangruil Sinner, he must possess a strength that is close to that of a medium rank power. To have such combat power at this age, this David was indeed worthy of the title as the Chosen One, even when compared to the entire Royal Region.”

“Really? Don't you think David's amazing, Mother? I was amazed by him too." said Astrid happily.

She was naturally happy when she heard her mother praise David. However, Gamora then changed the subject and said, “Unless that, even though David is good, there is still a certain distance between him and your father and your two older brothers. You may like him a lot now that he suddenly shows up to save you when you are most desperate. You will slowly forget it after a while.”

The smile on Astrid's face immediately stiffened. “Mother, David saved me was one of the reasons, but what made me love it more was how I felt when I was with him. I love listening to interesting stories from his adventures, I love playing the harp for him. I will not forget him no matter how long time passes.” Astrid said earnestly.

Seeing Astrid's serious expression, Gamora shook her head. He said with a smile, “Alright, alright! You don't have to be that nervous, Astrid. I just shared the possibility. Since you like him so much, take David to the Royal Territory and introduce him to your father after the matter with the Sangruil Sinners is resolved. If he doesn't dare to come, have your father bring him back in chains."

“Mother. you. you. you tease me.” Astrid said shyly while covering her face.

Gamora and Astrid continued chatting and laughing. However, there was another thought in Gamora's mind. Could David's appearance be a trap?

The traps set by the Sinners of Sangruil. With the aim of breaking into Barlowes. They could collude with outside and inner forces to attack the Barlowes in one fell swoop. If not, why is it a coincidence?

That a powerful young man suddenly appears to save Astrid at her most desperate moments when she confronts the Sangruil Sinners.

Most importantly, this person had only just returned after exploring the outside world for decades. Not even the Royal Region could know of its origin. It's kind of interesting.

Astrid was at an age determined by innocence, and she did not have the ability to discern anything. The Sangruil Sinners could make David appear at this time because they wanted him to exploit this fact.

Gamora felt this was very possible after thinking about it. It's just that he hasn't been able to tell Astrid about it yet. Based on how he looked just now, he might have been brainwashed thoroughly, so he might not believe it. It might even affect their personal relationships.

'God! It's hard to protect a girl forever! Even so, he should know something. Otherwise, this girl might sink deeper into his feelings. There was still a chance to save him since they had been out of touch for a long time. To do this, he must take David to Planet Royal.'

"Astrid, what is David doing now?

Why don't you invite him to Planet Royal

“Mother, I already invited David, but he said there was something to take care of so he couldn't come for now. But he promised he would come look for me at Planet Royal after his business was done.” Astrid replied.

“Is that? Are you two still in touch now?”

"Not really. Because I was afraid that if I chased after him every day, he would get annoyed at me, so usually I only talk to him for a while every few days.” Astrid said with her head bowed.

"Done! They're done!"

When Gamora saw Astrid's performance, she knew it was over. Now it's important for David to come to Planet Royal. This is so that they can determine their identity.

If he was a Sangruil Sinner, they would not be lenient towards him. If not, then he could join them. Otherwise, who knew what commotion this girl would make?

Kingdom Territory, Planet Kingdom! Inside the Imperial Palace of the Milky Way Empire. Emperor Nimbus had just finished customs when he met briefly with Empress Gamora.

After learning about some recent events in the empire, he immediately held a high-level meeting of the empire. Among them were the rulers of the four great halls, the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Red Finch, and Black Tortoise, the state ministers and imperial military generals, as well as the imperial princes.

This collection of individuals included almost all of the official rulers of the empire. It could be said that this was also the only time when all the upper level personnel of the empire faced the Sinner Sangruil.

“Who is ready to support the Empire?" Nimbus.

"We princes ready!”

“We ministers ready!”

All the high officials of the empire answered in unison.

“I called everyone here today because I want to discuss countermeasures. Therefore, I will not hide this from all of you. The members of the Sinners of Sangruil have been preparing for hundreds of years and they are threatening us. I retreated for a moment after fighting the leader of the Sangruilians, Moe Labate, because I was injured.” Nimbus said.

After he said that. Everyone present was surprised. The Emperor was an invincible existence in the entire Milky Way, yet was he really injured?

It's completely beyond their imagination. It was only fitting that the emperor had not shown himself for a long time.

No wonder she left the empress to handle everything. He took a step back to recuperate. It seems that Sinner Sangruil this time did not come in peace!

“Your Majesty, is Moe Labate, the Sinner King Sangruil, so powerful?Did he really hurt you? It's really unbelievable for me." a minister stood up and said in shock.

“That's right! It is surprising to me that there is someone in the Milky Way who can hurt the Emperor.”

Nimbus smiled and said, “You don't have to be too surprised. I, Nimbus, am a human being, not a god, I am not invincible in the world, so it is only natural that I get hurt. I fought against Moe Labate and although my injuries were not small, Moe Labate was much more injured than me. After more than a month of recovery, I have now recovered, so everyone can calm down!” Nimbus' words made everyone sigh in relief.

According to the Emperor's words. Moe Labate should be weaker than him. It's just fine. If Moe Labate is stronger than the emperor. The Empire will be in danger. However, faced with the Sangruil Sinners who had disappeared for hundreds of years, the high officials of the empire present were troubled.

Many major events had occurred in the Royal Region recently and were all related to the Sangruil Sinners.

It had never been raining but it was raining heavily, and these people had been in a peaceful situation for so long.

"Your Majesty, what should we do next?

There have been some riots within the Royal Territory recently." asked Wagner Barlowe, the eldest Prince.

"If anyone wants to say anything or any opinion, please say it. The purpose of calling everyone here today was to find a way to deal with the Sangruil Sinners without affecting the Kingdom. Let me remind you. First, that the empire was now facing a difficult time. I could have previously ignored your personal quarrels, but not anymore. I will not forgive anyone who turns his back on others" said Emperor Nimbus.

“We princes understand!”

“We ministers also understand!”

The Emperor's words were still quite a deterrent, and no one dared to oppose him.

“Good if you all understand! If you have any advice, you can voice it. If accepted, you will be remembered and rewarded for your services after the problem with Sinner Sangruil is resolved.”

“Your Majesty, many great events have occurred in the Royal Region during your recovery. The Grims, who were ranked fourth among the eight great families, were destroyed, and the ancestral lands of the Drakes, who were ranked first, had been laid down. There was a siege that left Grandmaster Drakes severely injured. This is likely the work of the Sinners Sangruil.”

“What do you mean maybe?

I think it must be the work of those bastards. They wanted to pollute the imperial water while the emperor recuperated, and then came to fish in the troubled waters."
