David didn't ask Marlee and the others to leave because he didn't think it was necessary. They are safe under the protection of the power of his mind. Now that David spoke, of course, Marlee stayed. He also did not want to leave and missed the battle between the Eternals.
He is only worried about influencing or distracting David, which is why he wants to leave. However, what David said to Marlee and the others sounded very insulting to Lou. It sounded as if David was looking down on him.
'You are just a rookie Ruler Ranker while I am a dignified Mid-Ruler Ranker. I'm one level higher than you and you dare to keep that burden while fighting with me. So sloppy. Do not think that you will win just because you initially won. The real battle is just beginning now.'
Lou was only relieved when his subordinates brought the merchant ship all the way. The people on the merchant ship were all his confidants whom he trained for many years, so he couldn't let anything happen to them. Otherwise, he would be alone.
Now that they were gone, Lou would fight without worry. However, after seeing David's appearance clearly, Lou muttered inwardly. 'This boy is very young.'
Just now, the other party attacked without saying a word, so he did not observe closely. Only now could he see clearly.
'If he became an Eternal at such a young age, it meant that he had quite a powerful strength backing him up. Did that bastard Willie lie to me?'
However, Lou could not give up this time so he could only hold back and say, “My friend, I was wrong, but we are all Eternals and you are so disrespectful."
"Is that right? But I think I've been too good to you? Do you think we don't know what you want to do with that kid named Willie? If I am not here today, the cargo of Marlee and the others who have worked so hard and gone through some life and death situations will be transported and looted by you. Do you think I still need to give you some respect?" david said coldly.
“My friend, you misunderstood me. I, Lou Sirr, am a serious trader. Of course, I will pay if I buy. It will not be taken for free. My price will definitely satisfy everyone, and I have nothing to do with the person you mentioned." Lou doesn't acknowledge his relationship with Willie.
'That kid caused so much trouble for me. I have to finish the calculations with him after this!'
"As a man, aren't you ashamed of lying like that? You might not even believe what you say! Do you think we'll believe it?" David sneering.
"My friend, that's outrageous!" Lou said while frowning.
Lou considers himself defeated because there is an Eternal hidden in the target merchant ship. He would be fine if he had to apologize or pay a reasonable amount of damage. However, he was a Mid-Ruler Ranker. Hence, he was still angry when the other party was so disrespectful.
"This is the Sacred Continent of the Center. This place can determine the rise and fall of a family. You unscrupulous traders only do things that go against your conscience. Don't you think you're overreacting?" David sneering.
"So, what do you want?" Lou asked.
"Bring here that kid named Willie, and you two should apologize to Marlee. Then, compensate them for having made them depressed. After that, this matter will be finished and I won't continue it anymore."
"No way! You really want me, an Eternal, to apologize to someone in the Universe? That's bullshit! If I do this, how will I show my face in this area in the future?"
Lou immediately rejected David's request without hesitation, he could still apologize to David the Eternal, however, he was indeed wrong. Rather, it was impossible for him to apologize to someone in the Universe Realm.
Is he so thick-skinned?
“I don't care, but if you don't apologize to Marlee, then I'll have to resort to violence. I hope you won't regret it later."
Lou laughed at David's words.
‘Sorry?
Did he think he could do whatever he wanted just because he was a rookie Ruler Ranker?
If I don't protect the confidants I'm carrying now and worry that they will perish after the battle, it's uncertain who will win!'
"You are gaining some advantage from me now and you really think that you are invincible as a rookie Ruler Ranker? Let me tell you, it is better not to stand out and know your limits. Don't be too cocky, otherwise.” Lou scold David loudly.
Just now, he was cruelly beaten by David and now he was also threatened. There was anger in his heart that did not know where to vent it. Although he was not an important person, he was still somewhat famous in the trading area around the Central Sacred Continent. This outsider in front of him did not show any sign of respect to him. Therefore, he could not be blamed if something happened.
As he spoke, Lou's voice disappeared. At this moment, he looked at David with wide eyes in front of him in shock. Because a three-long red sword suddenly appeared in David's hand. The long sword was not scary. What was terrifying was the long sword in the hands of the Eternal Golden Body.
It was no ordinary sword. It was a Soulbound Weapon, a priceless treasure! Lou had been a dishonest merchant for many years, but all of his savings were still not enough to buy a Soulbound Weapon.
The goal was to have his own Soulbound Weapon someday so that his combat power would skyrocket. The outsider in front of him actually possessed a Soulbound Weapon, and judging from the chill emanating from that sword, it was no ordinary Soulbound Weapon.
For a moment, Lou was jealous. He wanted to take the sword in David's hand for himself. Nonetheless, as the idea had just emerged, Lou quickly brushed it aside. He was only of a slightly higher rank than the other party. However, a first-rate Soulbound Weapon could completely cover this gap and kill him.
No need to fight. When the opponent took out the Soulbound Weapon, Lou knew he had lost. Even if he could defeat the other party, Lou would not dare to try. The other party was a young Eternal and he possessed a first-rate Soulbound Weapon. So, Lou wouldn't believe it if he said he didn't have a strong background.
'Can he break through the Eternal Realm at such a young age without any strong support?
Can he have a Soulbound Weapon that I can't even buy with my savings after so many years without a strong backing?
I can't afford to offend him! I won't be able to! I definitely cannot afford to insult this guy. I have to think of a way to quell his anger. I might have to spend a lot of money today.' Lou shook his head helplessly.
The reason he could be dishonest for so many years and not get into trouble was because he knew to read the situation. He would never offend a person he could not afford to offend. If he did, he would do anything and pay any price to obtain the other party's forgiveness.
Usually, people who know how to read the situation will live longer. Lou was still scolding David. However, his voice suddenly disappeared, confusing Marlee and the others. Everyone looked at David and saw a long sword suddenly appear in the hands of David's Eternal Golden Body.
Although the galaxy where the Jung family resides is in Star Kingdom, it is one of the most remote and relatively poor places. There, the Eternals were the number one authority, and no one dared to provoke them.
They had heard of Soulbound Weapons before, but they had never seen one. It was said that this kind of treasure could greatly increase the combat power of the Eternals and achieve a rank jump effect.
According to legend, the only weapon that could transform into an entity for use by the Eternal Golden Body was the Soulbound Weapon. Undoubtedly, the longsword in David's hand was the Soulbound Weapon. It was fitting that Lou suddenly fell silent while scolding David. David used a Soulbound Weapon.
Originally, David already had an absolute advantage against Lou. Now that he had taken out the Soulbound Weapon, his opponent would definitely suffer a crushing defeat.
Marlee looked at David. 'There are too many mysteries surrounding this young man. He even had a treasure like a Soulbound Weapon. What other secrets is he hiding that I don't know about?'
“My friend, you don't have to do this. Please no! It was just a misunderstanding. A misunderstanding!" lou shouted hurriedly.
At the same time, he retracted the Eternal Golden Body as he spoke. The Eternal Golden Body was a battle form of the Eternal. Right now, Lou had no desire to fight at all, so he pulled her out just in case the other party misunderstood and thought that he still wanted to fight by swinging his sword.
It was possible that the other party would do that judging from how he attacked without a word now. Right now, there was nothing in Lou's hands that could block the Soulbound Weapon in the other party's hands. If he did not hold back now, it would be too late if his opponent started to make a move.
“Aren't you stubborn just now? Didn't you say it was impossible? What's up now?”
David swung the Evil Splitting Sword in his hand and pointed it at Lou. Lou felt a chill on his back as he was directed by the long red sword.
'What kind of fucking sword is this?
From such a distance, I can still feel the chill running down my face.'
Lou had seen Soulbound Weapons before, but this was the first time he had seen someone who could pose a great threat to him before even making a move.
'What an invincible! This kid is truly invincible!'
“I'm blind, so I don't realize how strong you are. This time, I will admit my defeat. Whatever you ask, I, Lou Sirr, will do my best. Didn't you say you wanted that kid Willie to come over and apologize? I'll ask him to bring his *ss here now." Lou smiled wryly.
“If it's not wrong, you just said that you don't know Willie's man.” said David cynically.
“Umm...My friend, forgive me! We're just the ones fighting downstairs. The Star Kingdom's limited resources are controlled by a great power, so it's very difficult to find a way to obtain resources to improve ourselves." Lou shook his head and said helplessly.
“I can understand that you want to get the resources, but isn't it a little unreasonable to use such an indecent thing, anyway, by means of trapping those who visited the Central Sacred Continent for the first time? You want to increase your strength, but what about them? It would be fine for them if they could still survive."
“You're right. You taught me a lesson today. I will never do anything like this again in the future, and I will definitely be an honest trader and will never harm anyone again."
Lou's attitude surprised David. People who can adapt to circumstances are the hardest to deal with. The other party's attitude was so sincere, that David could not force himself to continue attacking.
The main reason for this was because their strength was similar. They were both Ruler Ranker Eternal Realm. Even with his Evil Splitting Sword, it was still difficult for David to kill his opponent. Since he could not kill his opponent, he would not attack in case he was seriously affected. David's gonna be fine, but he's worried this guy's gonna be after Marlee and the others.
“I'm waiting for your answer. If you don't satisfy me today, you know the consequences."
After he finished, David pulled the Eternal Golden Body and returned to the roof of the merchant ship. Naturally, dozens of adoring gazes greeted him.
The little girl Peggy immediately ran over and hugged David's thigh. He screeched happily, “Master, you are so amazing! From now on, Mom and I will count on you to protect us."
Marlee blushed when she heard that. Then he reprimanded seriously, “Peggy, what are you talking about? Come quickly and don't bother Mr. David. Have you been pampering me too much lately? Wait and see how I'll deal with you later."
Didn't Marlee really want what her daughter said?
Over the years, she wanted to find a reliable man to protect her and her daughter. However, Marlee was self-conscious. A man like David is destined to have no relationship with him.
Even if she doesn't have children, she still isn't worthy of David. Besides, he has a daughter now. The little girl looked at Marlee with a sad expression. He reluctantly let go of David's thigh before going to Marlee. David suddenly picked it up.
“It's okay, Marlee. He's just a kid! Words from a small child nothing wrong.” David hugged the little girl and said with a smile.
Even though he was an Eternal, in front of his friends, he had never been on the air. He would remain the same even if he became a Saint in the future.
"okay! Everyone, back to your posts first!” Marlee disbanded the group.
Then, he said, “David, don't mind him. Peggy never thought before speaking.”
“It's okay, Marlee! I don't mind.”
Right now, the little girl interjected again and said, “Bu, I've thought about it, you're a dearest person, and Master is my favorite person. He is very strong, as long as he protects us in the future, we will not be bullied again.”
“Peggy!” Marlee glared at the little girl.
Peggy was so frightened that she immediately put her head on David's chest, not daring to look at her mother.
"Alright fine! From now on, I will protect you and make sure no one dares bully you" David said attentively.
"Look, Mom, you've agreed" said the little girl with her head hidden in David's chest.
“David, don't spoil it too much. He's just gonna be getting sassy in the future."
"It's okay! He's just a kid so he should be pampered. By the way, Marlee, if they come to apologize later, just squeeze them out and show no mercy. You never know how many people these people have cheated for years and how much dishonest money they make. Make them pay dearly. I won't show my face later, but just call me if you need me.”
"Okay, I get it!" Marlee nodded and said.
The opponents did not dare to start a fight because they were so afraid of David. Hence, if their request was not too excessive, the other party would definitely agree.
“Alright, I'll go now."
After he finished talking. David walks down the cabin with the little girl in his arms.
Marlee looked at David's back in confusion. He loved and loved Peggy.
‘If only Peggy was really David's daughter. Then the three of us will be family. That scene would be too beautiful to imagine.'
