The Strongest Man in the Universe

Chapter 516

"Pulse... Uh... Peggy, I can't be your father." David regained his senses and said helplessly.

"Why? Don't you like Peggy?” The little girl pouted and asked sadly. He was obviously not satisfied with David's answer.

"I really like Peggy, but I can't be Peggy's dad!"

"Why is that?" The little girl did not understand.

“Yah.. Because... Because your mother disagrees."

David didn't know how to explain it, so he could only blame Marlee. She loves Peggy so much and she is desperate to have a wise daughter, but she will work hard to have one with the one she loves. Although an adult woman like Marlee is very attractive to men, David cannot accept this buy-one-free-one deal. No matter how interesting Marlee was, she still lagged far behind Celeste. Therefore, his influence on David was also limited.

"No! Sir, don't worry! I would agree. He likes me and Mr. Father likes me too, so from now on, the three of us will never be apart." The little girl narrowed her eyes in two lines and smiled. He did not yet know what the word 'Dad' meant'.

He has not had fatherly love since childhood. Moreover, the children of the Jung family always bullied him. They will call him an orphan and an illegitimate child. It made the little girl miss a father in her heart. He would not be bullied or scolded if he had a father. If he had a father, his father would have protected him and his mother.

Now she has met David, a man who treats her well and who she really likes, so naturally, she wants David to be her father. After Marlee left the control room, she came to David's room. As he was about to knock on the door, he heard a conversation between David and his daughter Peggy inside.

He knew his daughter always wanted a father, but he never mentioned this to outsiders. Unexpectedly, such a request was submitted by his daughter after meeting with David. He seems to like David a lot.

Marlee must create an opportunity for them to escape when the merchant ship's defenses are breached. Even if he had to experience hell, he would not hesitate. Marlee's been watching David lately. From his judgment, David was not a bad person. He has a good personality and his image is perfect.

Therefore, if his daughter followed him, Marlee would also be relieved. Unexpectedly, such a request was submitted by his daughter after meeting with David. He seems to like David a lot. At the same time, after hearing David's reply, he was unwilling to think again.

'Have I fallen to this point now?

Can't I attract a young man like David?

Otherwise, why would he continue to reject Peggy?'

As she thought about this, Marlee did not forget to look down at her proud figure. He thinks he shouldn't have gotten worse, right?

Her figure did not change shape after giving birth to Peggy. Even if she undergoes a change, she just becomes more mature and plump. Compared to the youthfulness in the past, he was the most attractive in his current state. This is what most men like.

In recent years, Marlee has received private letters from many people, hoping to establish a secret relationship with her. If he agrees, Jung's family will be safe. Marlee rejects them all mercilessly, which is why the Jung family is in the place it is today. At this moment, David's voice again sounded from the room.

“Peggy, you are young, and you will understand a few things when you grow up. You can't call someone father indiscriminately. Your mother should like that man too.”

“As long as you agree, my mother will definitely like you, Mr.” Peggy said without hesitation.

“It won't count if you say it. Besides, not only does your mother have to like me, but I also have to like your mother. That is, we should like each other.”

"Did you not like my mother?" The little girl asked sadly.

Before David could answer, he continued, “Master, my mother is the most beautiful woman in the world. When a lot of disgusting men see my mother, they won't turn away. It seems they wish they could eat him alive."

“Peggy, your mother is indeed very beautiful, but it has nothing to do with her beauty or not. It depends primarily on the feeling. You don't need that person to be beautiful or amazing to like it. You will only feel affection if there is mutual interest after getting to know each other more.” explained David patiently.

This was the first time he had explained to a seven or eight year old girl what attraction was.

“Then what do you want to know about my mother? I can tell you. I have been with my mother since I was a child, so I know best.” asked the little girl.

David forced a smile and shook his head. He really did not know how he should explain this. Who can clearly explain to an adult what attraction is, let alone to a seven or eight year old girl?

One person's food is toxic to another. Everyone has different tastes. Relationships need to be nurtured slowly after two people get to know each other.

The probability of success of love at first sight is very low. A person was usually only interested in the other party's appearance the first time they met. However, if two people want to be together for a long time, character is often the most important factor.

There was silence in the room for a while.

Tok Tok Tok!

There's a knock on the door.

David breathed a sigh of relief. He did not expect that one day, he would be made speechless by a seven or eight year old girl. Of course Marlee's knocking on the door. If he hadn't knocked on the door to interrupt the conversation between the two, David was afraid that the naughty girl would have revealed everything about him.

David did not even ask who it was before letting the person directly in. He had withdrawn the strength of his mind after finding out about the situation around him, and now he was just chatting with Peggy. The question the little girl kept asking made David dizzy, so he didn't notice the person outside the door.

After Peggy finished speaking, she was still waiting for a response from Mr. David. However, he was interrupted by a knock on the door, which irritated him. He pouted and had an annoyed expression on his face. Marlee pushed the door open and entered the room. He looks like normal. Clearly, he had rearranged himself.

"Mrs Marlee!" David called.

"Mother!" The little girl cried out sadly.

“Peggy, what are you talking about? You look a little unhappy. Is Master bluffing you?" Marlee pretended to be a bitch.

The little girl shook her head. When he was just about to speak, David replied before him, “Marlee, we're not talking about anything. I'm telling Peggy a story. The ending of the latest story did not have a happy ending so she was a little unhappy."

"So so! Peggy, you're wrong. Because you want the story, you have to respect the end." - Critic Marlee Gently.

“It's okay, Mrs Marlee. He's just a kid! It's normal for him to be a little emotional." suggested David from the side.

“Thank you, David, for telling me the story. Oh yeah, you don't have to be stiff, just call me Marlee.” Marlee thanked me.

“Alright! You're too good, Marlee. It's just a small matter." Marlee walked up to Peggy and hugged her.

The little girl was still a little angry She struggled a few times before letting Marlee hug her without letting go. Time is running out Space pirates will soon break through the defenses of merchant ships. Marlee didn't want to make her daughter worry, so she rubbed Peggy's nose lightly.

The little girl inhaled a hint of fragrance and within a few seconds, she fell asleep peacefully. Only then did Marlee look at David, and say seriously, “David, I have something to ask you."

David had already noticed Marlee's movements. Combined with the despair he was in now, he probably knew what the other party wanted to say in his heart. However, David did not say it out loud or say he could finish it, but instead replied, “Marlee, please.”

“We met with space pirates, and they are the cruelest kind. With our current strength, we have no chance of winning at all. They will break through the merchant ship's defenses in no time" Marlee said straight to the point.

After he finished speaking, he looked at David. She hoped David would tell her, 'Marlee don't worry, they don't dare to do anything with me.'

If so, David must have been an important figure of a certain great power. However, David's next words really disappointed Marlee.

"I see, what do you want me to do?" ask David.

Marlee lost all hope. David can't deal with this group of space pirates. Then, he could only choose the second option.

"David, I want to entrust Peggy to you. Once they attack later, I will do my best to create an opportunity for you and Peggy to escape. I hope you can raise Peggy." Marlee looked at the little girl in her arms and said.

“But Marlee, can we escape? The opponent has not dispatched his strongest man.” asked David again.

“That's no problem. If I can't escape immediately, I'll ask them to release you and Peggy, otherwise, I'll die in front of them soon. There are not many women on this ship, and that bastard would not willingly let me die, ” Marlee said firmly. He knew how attractive he was to men, let alone the space pirates who had never seen women everywhere. Even in the galaxy where the Jung family is located, there are many men who are fascinated with Marlee. If he threatens the space pirates with his own life, the chances of his daughter and David surviving are very high. David understood. Marlee wants to use her body instead of her and Peggy's chance of survival. It may be a mother's love. David didn't think Marlee would do this for him. All Marlee did was for her daughter Peggy. Even if David wasn't on this ship right now, he wouldn't stand idly by even if he met a mother and daughter duo like this. “Marlee, actually..” David was just about to say he could take those guys down. However, before he could finish, the ship suddenly shook. His defense will be broken.

Brak!

The door then opened violently.

Fraser stood at the door. He hurriedly said with fear in his eyes, “Mrs! The merchant ship's defenses would be penetrated by space pirates. Please think of ways!”

Marlee immediately stood up, walked towards David with Peggy in her arms, and handed Peggy in his arms to David Then, she whispered in David's ear, “David, I will entrust Peggy to you. Please make sure she grows up happily."

After he said that, he left the room without looking back. When he turned around, two drops of tears fell on David's face. That looks pretty cool.

David wiped it with his hand and held it in front of his eyes. Those two tears represent Marlee's selfless love for her daughter Peggy. Even if he was in hell, he had to protect his daughter's safety.

David can imagine what would happen to a woman like Marlee if she fell into the hands of these space pirates. True hell is waiting in the form of tens or even hundreds of space pirates. He will have a fate worse than death.

After Marlee and Fraser leave the room, David cradles Peggy's little girl and unleashes the power of her mind. Transparent shields were formed before the defense of merchant ships was about to be penetrated.

With the intensity of his mind power, even if the Universe Realm pirates continued to attack until they died, they would still not break through it.

David wanted to see what the space pirates would do if they could not penetrate the merchant ships' defenses. At this point, he suddenly did not want these people to die too quickly.

David also wants to make these space pirates experience death in fear.
