The Strongest Man in the Universe

Chapter 512

David continued to stay in the room for a while, then he followed Marlee to the diner.

Throughout the meal, Peggy kept staring at David. Therefore, David had no choice but to spend the entire meal at the table for the little girl to let him go.

After eating, David was taken to a separate room. The room is not luxurious, but fortunately it is relatively clean and tidy. This was in line with David's wishes. David doesn't have too many demands on this. As long as it wasn't too dirty or messy, he could accept it.

As David rested, the merchant ship quickly moved towards the entrance of the wormhole. The closer Marlee gets, the more tense she gets.

They will most likely encounter space pirates within the three days it takes to get to the wormhole entrance. After all, these were the most dangerous times.

With the little power they had on their merchant ships and no one in most Eternals, they would not be an opponent of space pirates.

Time passes slowly. The merchant ship immediately entered the high-risk area. Marlee's always tense. He prayed fervently in his heart not to meet the space pirates. Arguably, this ship brought the best of the Jung family.

The Jung family also did everything they could to avoid obstruction from the surrounding troops. The entire Jung family placed all their hopes on this merchant ship. They have to succeed.

If someone were to rob this merchant ship, what awaited the Jung family next was an eternal catastrophe. They will have no chance of coming back.

Marlee knew she was the reason the Jung family was in its current state. If he had not made a mistake back then, the Jung family would not have suffered such a fate. That's why I took the initiative to make this trip. He risked all his wealth and life on this ship.

If this merchant ship were to be robbed, he would not have the strength to return to his family. Marlee had already decided in her mind. This time he will live and die with the merchant ship. He will live if the ship succeeds, but if not, he will sink with him.

But his daughter, Peggy, is young. He still has his whole life in front of him. And his life can't stop here.

'If there was no other choice, I would have put Peggy in David's care, and I would have desperately created a gap for them to escape. After all, my daughter also really likes David.' Marlee thought to herself.

"Mom, what's wrong with you? Why don't you take a break?" Peggy rubbed her eyes and asked.

He wakes up and finds his mother looking the same as before going to bed.

“I'm fine. I'm not sleepy, you have to rest well!” Marlee stroked Peggy's daughter's cheek and whispered.

“No, if you don't sleep, I won't sleep either,” the little girl said with a frown.

“Alright! I'll sleep with you, okay?” marlee said and lay down next to Peggy, hugging her and preparing to go to sleep.

After a while, Marlee whispered, “Peggy, have you slept?”

“No, Mom. I'm awake and I'm not sleepy anymore" replied the little girl.

“Peggy, tell me, do you like David?”

“Yes. I like him!” The little girl replied without hesitation.

“Why do you like it, can you tell me?”

“I think Mister has a sweet smile that makes me feel comfortable. He's not aggressive at all. I like being with Mr."

“Then... will you be fine if I let you stay by the Master's side from now on?”

“Of course! Mom, can I really be with you from now on?" The little girl immediately sat down and asked excitedly.

Marlee also sat down and said, “Of course, you can!”

“It's good! Mom, from now on, mom, me, and Master will always be together and never apart, okay?”

“Peggy, you can't be too greedy. If you could only choose between mother and Master, who would you choose?

“Can't I have both? I like Mom, but I like Mister too" said the little girl puzzledly.

Marlee shook her head and said, “Can't.”

“Then I will choose you! I want to be with my mother forever." The little girl pouted.

Apparently, his mother remained the main one in his heart. After all, he had only known David for a few days.

“Then, do you not want the Master again?”

“I still want it! When I grow up, I will go to the Master." The little girl thought for a moment and said.

“Peggy, sleep. You must sleep to mature quickly.” Marlee lay back down hugging her daughter.

Marlee was worried. She knows that her daughter has fallen in love with David as soon as she sees him, because she has not had the love of a father since she was born. Jung's family has always been very unfriendly to Peggy, Marlee's daughter.

After all, why the Jung family is like now is because of Peggy. If Marlee hadn't gotten pregnant when she returned to the Jung family, she would still be sought after by countless large families because of her maturity, curves, and charm.

That way, the Jung family can still rely on Marlee to face the extended family and continue to increase their strength.

Unfortunately, Marlee returned to the Jung family pregnant. No matter how attractive and charming she was, no one dared to marry her, even if they wanted to.

Anyone who marries Marlee will soon become the object of ridicule by the countless families around her. Not only would he be criticized wherever he went, but even his family would suffer as well. No one can withstand such pressure.

Therefore, once Peggy was born, she was destined to be rejected by the Jung family. If it wasn't for Marlee who was the Peak Infinity Rank Universe and the top three in the Jung family, Peggy's days would have been harder and harder.

Precisely because of this, Marlee takes Peggy away on this journey even though she knows it will be very dangerous. If he disappeared along with the merchant ship, Peggy would suffer greatly in the Jung family in his absence.

Therefore, he might as well bring it himself and hand over their fate to the Gods.

After Marlee returned to the Jung family, many powerful people secretly contacted her and expressed their desire to have her. Plus, they also promised him a lot of benefits. However, the only requirement is that their relationship cannot be made public.

Still, Marlee rejected everything. He had once been above everyone at one point, so how could he be interested in those ordinary people?

In doing so, he also sped up the death of the Jung family. Finally, he had no choice but to fight to the death. Time passes slowly. About an hour later, Peggy fell into a deep sleep and Marlee stood quietly. They were at their most critical and dangerous time, so how could he fall asleep?

After getting dressed, Marlee left the room and went to the merchant ship's control room. He had to keep an eye on the situation of the merchant ship. As long as they could safely pass these three days, the journey would be a success once they reached the entrance of the wormhole.

Time passed slowly with a gripping atmosphere. Everyone on the Jung family merchant ship is always tense, except for the little girls Peggy and David. Everyone knows that now is the most dangerous time.

They'd be fine if they hadn't met the space pirates. Not only will the Jung family benefit greatly from this trip, but they will also benefit greatly.

If they encountered space pirates, it would be hard to tell if they could survive, let alone enjoy the rewards. In fact, most of the people on this merchant ship were hired by Marlee at a great price.

There are not many members of the Jung family here.

In order to attract the attention of the surrounding enemy forces and create an opportunity for Marlee to make this trip, the Jung family disbanded. This time, the Jung family could be said to have put all of their eggs in one basket. That's a big bet for the family.

Currently the merchant ship was getting closer to the wormhole, and it only took one day to reach it. They haven't had any accidents so far. They did not see the patrol team sent by the Sacred Central Continent, nor did they encounter any space pirates who would rob merchant ships. But Marlee still can't let her guard down.

Only after they reached the entrance of the new wormhole did he dare to say that they were safe. Before that, anything is still possible.

Inside the merchant ship's control room. An old man stood with Marlee as they stared at the merchant ship's sensors. If something approached the merchant ship, they would be able to notice it immediately and respond to it.

This old man was Fraser Jung, the senior butler of the Jung family and an Infinity Rank veteran. At the same time, he was also the elder of Marlee, although he was a distant relative of the Jung family. Marlee is a direct descendant of the Jung family and Peak Infinity Rank.

Although both come from

from different generations, there were still gaps in their identity and strength. Therefore, when Fraser saw Marlee, he had to call her Madam respectfully.

"Madam, we've passed two-thirds of the most dangerous stretch. As long as we last one more day, the merchant ship will reach the entrance of the wormhole. We'll make it this time. The Jung family will not just fall like that, and we will definitely return to our former glory days" Fraser said excitedly as he stood beside Marlee.

They've been oppressed for too long. He always dreamed that one day he would be able to come back. It could be said that the Jung family was fully prepared for this trip. They knew this from some sources that the Central Sacred Continent had recently lacked raw ores.

And these items are usually sold cheaply to some big trading houses, so they take most of the profits. The reason why no one dared to move them themselves to the Central Sacred Continent was because the distance was too far. So it is inevitable that there will be some accidents in the middle of the road.

Another reason is because of space pirates. If they were not careful, not only would they lose everything, but they would also lose their lives. A large trading house would not face such danger.

Generally, space pirates did not dare to rob merchant ships from large trading houses. But this time, the Jung family had reached a point of despair, so they decided to do it themselves.

The business side of the Jung family is severely suppressed by the forces around them and unable to make ends meet. If such a large family had no source of income, it would be difficult for them to survive any longer.

Therefore, they decided to gamble and try their best to send out this batch of raw ores. As long as they could reach the Central Sacred Continent safely, they would definitely sell this ship's cargo at a high price.

The Jung family can do a lot with that money. They were no longer restricted in such a way that there was no hope at all for them.

“We can't relax until we reach the wormhole entrance. Space pirates can appear at any time until we get there. Send an order to tell everyone to be alert. As long as we can reach the Central Sacred Continent and sell these items, I, Marlee Jung, will make sure everyone will get her profit.” Marlee looked at the sensor and said expressionlessly.

“Yes, Mistress!” answer Fraser.

He turned and left after speaking. He would notify the merchant ship staff one by one.

Shortly after Fraser left, Marlee's eyes narrowed. He had originally not relaxed, but now he instantly became even more nervous.
