The Strongest Man in the Universe

Chapter 533

“David, I want to ask, what do you plan for the future?” Marlee asked boldly.

''Planning for the future?' David was surprised by Marlee's question.

The next plan was to spend more money on the Central Sacred Continent, earn more luxurious points, and increase his strength. Then, he would go to the Iridescent Sect and save Celeste from the ice cave. Finally, he would go to Nek the Saint for revenge and show him what it was like to be an ant. That was David's plan.

However, he still had a long way to go before it could be realized. He was merely a rookie Ruler Ranker now, so it took him a while before he could get to the Saint Realm. There could be no accidents in between. However, David could not tell Marlee about his plans.

"Why are you asking?" David did not answer but asked rhetorically.

“David, to be honest, I don't want to go back to the Jung family right now. I wanted to stay in the Sacred Continent Center with Peggy and give her a good childhood, but I was unable to do so with my strength, so I'd like to see what your plan is and if there's anything you need from me.”

“Marlee, you don't want to go back to the Jung family? You want to stay here? Can you tell me why?" david asked suspiciously.

He really didn't understand what Marlee was thinking. Should he return and enjoy being treated like a hero after he risked his life for his family and managed to deliver the item to the Central Sacred Continent and earn a huge profit?

Why doesn't he want to come back?

“David, actually, my status in the Jung family is very awkward. I am to blame for the collapse of the Jung family. As a result, Peggy is disliked by the Jung family. She was often bullied and humiliated by other children of the same age. I was worried growing up in such an environment would have an impact on Peggy's character, so I wanted to wait for Peggy to grow up before coming back..."

Then Marlee briefly tells David about her experience and the cause of Jung's current family situation. David finally understood. She is a femme fatale! Once upon a time, Marlee was a famous beautiful woman in her hometown.

Many of the extended family around her family had been watching her. But he had high taste and did not like any of them. So she came out secretly for a while, but she returned pregnant, making many large families feel disappointed and angry. They therefore banded together to suppress the Jung family and caused the Jung family to suffer a continuous decline.

In the end, they had no choice but to do everything and let Marlee risk her life to make this journey.

David wants to know who Peggy's father is. Since Marlee looked down on the direct descendants of the surrounding forces, the man who could make her pregnant would definitely not be too bad. So far, Marlee has never mentioned the man who impregnated her.

‘What kind of story is behind all this?'

David was curious, but since Marlee didn't mention it, he didn't want to ask.

Now the other party has mentioned this. David will implement his plan a little earlier. Originally, he planned to participate in the auction first, increase his strength to the Sovereign Rank, and then obtain a certain amount of power as well as the right to speak.

Then, he would set up a trading company. This trading company was the key for him to break through the Saint Realm. No matter how much money he spent, he would not spend as much as a trading company. David had thought about this a lot.

The newly established trading firm was a gold-swallowing beast that required a steady flow of money for support. This is what he needs. David had a lot of money, but his strength was too low.

Hence, he was unable to set up a trading company right now, and there was nowhere for him to spend money even if he wanted to. Judging by their recent interactions, Marlee could be considered someone to be trustworthy, and David would let her run a trading company when the time came.

It was like asking Mia to buy a trading company in the Milky Way. David's principle of hiring people has always been the same. That ability is not important. Instead, loyalty is the key.

“Marlee, since you said that, no matter how evil I am, I will not escort you back. Worry not! Stay here and don't worry." David thought for a moment and said.

"David, you don't have to push yourself. If you don't need me, then I'll take Peggy back. I've brought enormous benefits to the Jung family this time, so I'm sure they won't treat us as before" Marlee explained quickly.

“All completed. Marlee, I'll be leaving here in a few days to attend the auction in the super big trade zone. You can stay here for a while. During this period of time, you should carefully study how to set up and run a trading company. I'll need this information soon."

"Learn how to set up and run a trading company?" Marlee's eyes suddenly widened, and she asked in shock.

"David, do you want to set up a trading company?"

He never thought that David would have such an idea. Establishing a trading company in the Central Sacred Continent not only required the support of a strong force, but also a lot of money. This is not something that can be done with a little money.

Half of the trading volume of the Sacred Continent Center was controlled by five large trading companies. Treasure Trove, where Marlee and David are now, is one of the top five trading companies. The countless remaining small trading firms would split the remaining 50.

Although there was at least half of the cake left, one should know that the total number of small trading companies in the Central Sacred Continent reached millions or even tens of millions. The survival of these trading companies will not determine how strong they are.

That's because the top five trading firms aren't interested in the small trading zones they sit in. The top five trading companies only have branches in the middle trade zone. The 50% share is fully split between millions of small trading companies.

In the Sacred Central Continent, many trading companies went bankrupt every day due to poor management. Marlee never expected David to set up a trading company.

“David, you should think twice about this issue. Setting up a trading company is not that simple, it requires a lot of money in the early stages" Marlee said.

He knew that the power behind David was not weak. But he is still young. Where would he get so much money?

“Marlee, don't worry! I didn't get this idea all of a sudden. Since I said it, I must have made all the preparations. When we return from the auction this time, we will start from this big trading zone and establish a trading company. In the future, it will spread throughout the Sacred Continent Center.”

Seeing David's stern gaze, Marlee knew that whatever she was saying now would be useless, so she stopped persuading David. A direct descendant of a powerful force like David would never give up unless he suffered a significant setback.

"So, what can I do for you?" ask Marlee. He stopped persuading David.

“First of all you should learn the process of establishing a trading company. After I return from the auction, I will give you full responsibility for the matter" David said.

"I? Nah! Nah! That's impossible! David, this matter is too important. I have absolutely no experience in this field, so I definitely cannot do it and I can influence your plans. You have to find someone else! I can help you do whatever is in my power." Marlee quickly refused.

Let him take full responsibility for the establishment of a trading company?

How does he know anything about these things?

The establishment and operation of a trading company involves too much capital and contacts. Marlee was just someone from a small place. Although he had come out and gained some experience, it was also very limited. He was just a hick in the eyes of the people in this Central Sacred Continent. How could he be responsible for such an important matter?

If David entrusted this matter to her, she would definitely fail.

“Marlee, you have to believe in yourself. You can do this. I'll give you the funds and I'll solve your problem. You just have to follow the normal process, and you don't have to think about any other problems."

“Um... I cannot! That's the impossible! David, I don't even have the slightest bit of experience in this, handing it to me will only ruin your plans! You have to find someone else! I really can't do it.” Marlee pleaded.

He should be happy that David left such an important task to him. However, Marlee did not know about the trading company. He worries that if he agrees and fails to do well, David's plans will be ruined. If David gave her something in her power, Marlee would definitely agree without hesitation.

“Marlee, I can't calm down if I have to entrust this matter to others. I have a principle in hiring staff and I will only use people I trust. If I don't trust someone, no matter how capable they are, I won't use them. This is my first time coming to the Central Sacred Continent and you are the only one I can trust, so please help me!"

"Can't! David, don't force me, okay? If I can help you, I won't even hesitate, it's just that this matter is too big. With my skills and knowledge, I could not see any chance of success. I really want to help you, but I'm even more afraid that if I don't do well, I'll ruin your plan."

Marlee was so anxious she wanted to cry. He even scolded himself in his heart, 'Why didn't I educate myself in the first place?

I should have learned more about trading companies and studied them thoroughly. If that happens, I can complete the important task that David entrusted to me now. I can even help David share some of his burden. However, I had already missed the ship, and it was too late to regret it now. I can't turn back time.'

After all, how did Marlee know that she would meet a man like David in the future?

Not only did he save her life, he even wanted to entrust her with such an important matter. If only he had known, he would have gone nowhere and stayed home every day to study. Then, he would secretly wait for the day to meet David.

Seeing Marlee refuse to agree, David had no choice but to back off and say, “Marlee, why not think casually before rejecting me so quickly? You have to study it slowly and then we will discuss how to proceed after I return. What do you think of this?”

“B-Good. I can learn it first, and if it really doesn't work, you can't force me!" Marlee agreed after thinking about it.

He would feel ashamed if he refused again. It was a blessing to him that David did this.

“OK, it's decided then. Marlee, study hard. Don't push yourself too much. Don't worry, I won't force you.”

“Good. Thank you, David! Then I'll be back first.”

“OK, I will ask Treasure Trove to find someone to teach you so you can learn faster.”

The two then went together. David then goes to find Alba to explain his intentions. He hopes Alba will arrange for someone who knows more about this to teach Marlee.

“David, did you say you want to set up a trading company?” ask Alba astonished.

He was shocked to hear David's request.
