The Strongest Man in the Universe

Chapter 545

Bang out!

The old man destroyed the body of the ship. He came to the control room to retrieve Alba from the crowd. He's very fast. After receiving an order from Cornelius to capture Alba alive, the old man only took a moment to destroy the defense system of the Fellowes' merchant ship and finally appeared in the control room.

By the time Alba and her servants and bodyguards reacted, the old man had already appeared in the control room. The strength of a Sovereign Ranker was indeed terrifying.

“Nona, run! We will block it for you!” shouted a guard.

The other guards and servants also reacted immediately. Soon, they took out a pill and prepared to swallow it. This is the Blood Bursting Pill. Once eaten, it would immediately blow up the blood within one's entire body. Consumer power will be amplified severalfold for a short time.

Of course, the price they had to pay was also quite great since they had to give up their lives. The Blood Bursting Pill allowed its consumers to use their lives to fight.

They would use their lives to make their strength skyrocket for a short time. Even so, how did the old man give them a chance?

Even if they drank the Blood Bursting Pill, they would not pose a threat to the old man.

However, if they drank the Blood Bursting Pill, it would be troublesome to deal with some Immortal Rank guards. If she was a little slow and they created a gap for Miss Alba Fellowes to commit suicide, it would be an unnecessary matter. To prevent an accident, the old man shouted.

“You want to drink the Blood Bursting Pill? There's no way I'll let it!”

Then, he exuded the power of a Sovereign Ranker.

Duarr!

The merchant ship shook violently. It was as if it could not handle the old man's energy. If this merchant ship was not Alba's main means of transportation and had undergone a special transformation by Treasure Trove, it would have already been destroyed.

Despite this, it was still somewhat shaky and in danger of being destroyed at any moment. The control room was in a mess, and everything was shattered from shock. The guards and servants who were about to take out the Blood Bursting Pill were all interrupted by the sudden explosion of the old man.

After this, they could only give up drinking the Blood Bursting Pill. Then, they stood next to each other forming a human wall to block Alba. Several Immortal Rank guards stood at the front while emitting their energies to defend Alba.

As Alba's servants and bodyguards, the task of these men is to protect Alba's safety even at the cost of their own lives. However, they had underestimated the strength of the Sovereign Ranker.

After the old man radiated his energy and reached the Immortal Rank guards, it instantly shattered their combined defenses and sent all the servants and guards standing in front of Alba flying. Only Alba was left standing on the spot alone. It was as if he was under a freezing spell.

If Alba wants to kill herself now, it's too late. This was because the old man was already in front of him and was about to catch him. How did he have the chance to kill himself when a Sovereign Ranker approached him?

Alba did not expect Cornelius to be so resolute as to take action against him so quickly. He didn't even give her a chance to react. If he killed himself at first, it would definitely work. However, he hesitated.

No one wants to die if they don't despair. At this moment, as Miss Alba Fellowes stood in front of the Sovereign Ranker, she had no choice at all.

All conspiracies are futile in front of true power. He knew the other party would not listen to him no matter what he said.

Is there another way?

As the third young mistress of one of the top five trading companies in the Central Sacred Continent, she definitely had a lot of treasures. However, he also needed time to use it. Would the other party give him the chance to do so?

Obviously, this is impossible.

Alba stood there motionless. Now, he no longer had the right to act, and could only accept his destiny helplessly. He understood what would happen once he boarded Cornelius' ship today. Unfortunately, even though he knew, Alba had no way to change it.

He can't finish his deal with David anymore. As soon as he thought about this, Alba suddenly felt extremely angry. 'Why can't he give me a little more time?

I found a way to change my destiny and save my family.

But I was defeated by time.'

Alba can't accept this! If only there had been a little more time for him to build a good relationship with David, help David expand the company and finalize the deal, and meet with Mr. David, a Sacred Saint hiding in the darkness of the Star Kingdom, he would have a chance to change the fate of him and his family.

Although the chances of success were not great, this was the only hope Alba had after so many years. Now, because of that bastard Cornelius, all of his plans are falling apart. A cold light flashed in Alba's eyes as she stared fixedly at the old man who was approaching her quickly.

'That's all their fault.'

Regardless of his family's future and how sad his future will be, Alba will do everything to make Cornelius pay the price after this incident.

After the old man saw the light in Alba's eyes, he shuddered internally for some reason. Then he started laughing at himself.

If he were to complete the task today, they might have a huge backer behind them. How could they be afraid of a little girl in Ruler Rank?

After rearranging himself, the old man showed a cold grin at the corner of his lips. Then, his hand approached Alba. As long as he caught her, had her dine with Master Cornelius, and recorded it to share with the outside world, his mission would be considered a success.

The guards and servants around him who were sent flying could only watch the old man approach Alba. There's nothing they can do. Their strength is too low. The person with the highest combat power among them was only an Immortal Ranker. How could they defeat the Sovereign Ranker?

Cornelius also stared tightly at the merchant ship in the distance, his hands tightly clenched. He would be lying if he said he wasn't nervous. He had planned this for a long time. This was related to whether he could gain the support of his employer as he vied to become the head of the Lightfoot family in the future.

Cornelius should also appreciate this. With the support of his employer, his chances of becoming the head of the Lightfoot family could reach at least 80%. Without the support of his employer, it would be no more than 20%. This gap is very significant. That was why he took this big gamble.

‘Value from the speed of the Sovereign Ranker, there should be no chance for Alba to kill herself.’ Cornelius thought to himself.

Inside the control room of the Fellowes family merchant ship, the old man's hand was only a meter away from Alba. He will snatch the famous third young mistress of the Fellowes family. Alba accepted his destiny at this time. There will be no miracle. He did not understand why David had still not appeared.

‘Even if he couldn't beat the old man, he wouldn't be hiding in his room, would he?

Was he afraid of the Sovereign Ranker?

Is he really a direct disciple of a Sacred Saint?’

Alba started to question David in her heart.

‘Didn't a young man who had lived with a Sacred Saint not fear everything the first time he came out?’

Why was he so afraid of a Sovereign Ranker?'

It was too late for him to wonder about this. The old man was only a centimeter away from grabbing Alba. At this critical moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside Alba, and this figure was even faster than the old man.

Before the old man could react, the figure grabbed the old man's hand that stretched out toward Alba, preventing him from moving closer. The three of them looked strange this way. The figure that suddenly appeared was of course David. He could have taken action at the beginning, but he didn't.

He deliberately waited until the last moment. What David wants is for Alba to see the light in the final moments of despair. The shock caused by David's actions in the beginning would definitely not be as great if he acted in the last moment. In this way, he could be considered the savior of Alba.

Furthermore, Alba will try her best to help her make the trading company even bigger. As the third young mistress of Treasure Trove, Alba certainly has a lot of connections. If he helped David wholeheartedly, the effect would be immediately felt.

When the time comes, Alba will contact her network and David will spend the money in secret. With Alba covering it up, David can earn a lot of fancy points without showing his face. This was David's goal, and it was also the most ideal situation for him. Staying humble and spending a lot of money secretly has always been David's favorite technique.

The old man's hand was blocked when he was about to touch Alba, and he was also shocked for a moment. Clearly, his brain had not recorded what was going on. Then, he continued exerting force, only to find that he was unable to move his hand. He couldn't push it forward or pull it back. After exerting all his strength, he was still unable to move his hand.

'How is this possible?'

The old man panicked.

He was a novice Sovereign Ranker. Who can control it and keep it from moving?

When he recalled his opponent's unexpected speed, the old man finally realized there was another master on the ship, and this man was stronger than himself. He turned his gaze to the figure that suddenly appeared. The old man was stunned when he saw David.

The one who stopped him was a young man, and he was even stronger than himself.

'How is this possible?'

The old man's facial expression turned from panic to terror.

Alba did not close her eyes as the old man almost caught her. Instead, he kept his eyes open as if he wanted to remember them so that he could take revenge in the future. However, as time went on, the old man did not touch Alba.

Furthermore, the old man's face turned from panic to terror as he stared at him. From cold grins to panic, and then from panic to terror. Alba then turned her curious gaze from the old man to the hand that was outstretched at him.

When he looked at the old man's hand, Alba looked at the other hand on the old man's wrist. There is a clear difference when the two hands are next to each other. The skin on one hand is sagging while the skin on the other hand is firm and smooth.

The owners of both hands were clearly not in the same age group. Alba finally understood. Someone saved him. Because David was too fast, Alba's focus was only on the old man. He still did not pay attention to the other person next to him.

As he looked at that delicate hand, he turned his gaze and finally looked at the owner of that hand. What greeted Alba was a handsome smiling face.

“Nona Fellowes, are you okay?” ask David while grinning.
