After David takes care of all the Lightfoot family members, he returns to the Fellowes family merchant ship. Everyone greeted him with admiration. Wherever one is, the strong will always be respected. In addition, David was not only strong, but also extremely strong.
It shows how powerful the power behind it is. The waiter Alba looked at David with starry eyes. It's a pity that Miss Alba already has a fiancee, and that fiance's identity and power are just as frightening. Otherwise, this man and Miss Alba would be the perfect couple.
“Nona Fellowes, I have taken care of the Lightfoot family. When are we going?” ask David when he comes in.
“Mr David, I need to talk to you. Everyone, return to your respective posts, check the merchant ships, then let's continue the journey to the original route."
“Ya, Miss!”
Alba turned to leave. David follows behind her, but she does not realize that Alba has changed the way she calls him. He went from calling him David to Mr. David. Obviously, his performance today made Alba feel unworthy to mention David's name directly. David has conquered Alba with his power.
The two walked to the door of the room and Alba pushed the door before entering. This is supposed to be Alba's room. David stood at the door and hesitated for a moment before he boldly walked in. The stuff in the room was relatively simple. However, it was extremely neat and filled with an intoxicating scent.
At first glance one could tell it was a ladies room, however, it did not look like a room belonging to Miss Alba of Treasure Trove. He was born into a rich family, so shouldn't his room be luxurious?
"Please sit!" Alba beckoned David to sit down.
Then, he skillfully made a pot of tea and poured a cup for David. David was not ashamed. After sitting down, he picked up a teacup and drank his tea.
David doesn't know much about tea. Before, tea was something to quench thirst. However, when he arrived at the Eternal Realm, he did not even need to quench his thirst.
Alba sat across from David and shook her head when she saw how David drank tea. Tea leaves are of the highest quality, so the price is very high. Ordinary people would not be able to afford a single leaf after working hard for a lifetime.
'How can David drink tea like this?
Too bad.'
But Alba said nothing. He picked up his teacup and took a sip, which was much more elegant than David's gulp.
Both were silent for a moment. Alba never took her eyes off David. It was as if he wanted to see through it. David couldn't stand it anymore, so he asked the question he was worried about.
“Nona Fellowes, you asked me to kill Cornelius today. But I don't like problems. Are the people you bring reliable? They won't divulge what happened today, right?”
He has killed all members of the Lightfoot family. However, there were still many people on the Fellowes' side of the family. David wasn't a cold-blooded killer, so of course, he wasn't going to kill them. But there will definitely be hidden risks if these people stay alive.
“Don't worry, Mr. David. You can trust the people I brought this time. In addition, even if you take action, we are all responsible. If word gets out, the Lightfoot family won't dare to do anything to you if they find out about your identity, but we'll all die. They're not idiots, so they won't tell anyone" Alba said.
"That's great! But our plan must be accelerated. I hope you can help me more with trading companies and use Treasure Trove contacts to help me get it done as quickly as possible so I have the capital to compete with the Lightfoot family. If you are accidentally exposed at that time, I can protect you if the Lightfoot family comes to cause problems for you.”
“Master David, I'm actually curious, why are you so excited to start a new trading company and make it big?”
“My teacher assigned this task to me when I came out. This is also a test of her. I don't know the specific reason for that. I only knew that ever since I was young, I had to do what the old man said no matter what. Otherwise, I will be punished, and I can only ask for something from him after I finish the task." David explained.
Now, he blamed all unreasonable things on his non-existent master.
"So so! Then I would tell Elmer later and ask him to make preparations first. Once we participate in the auction, we will put all our focus on it. Don't worry, Mr. David, as long as we have the funds, I, Alba Fellowes, are confident to build a trading company in no time.”
Alba still did not quite understand the intention of master David to do this, but he did not doubt it. After all, he was a Sacred Saint. It was normal for them to make some strange tests for their disciples.
Cornelius is dead. Therefore, now he had no other choice but to rely on David. Otherwise, if word of what happened today spread and the Lightfoot family decided to pursue him, the Fellowes family would definitely leave Alba.
The Fellowes family was struggling, so they would not allow the family to fall into a worse state to protect it. Moreover, Alba was not appreciated by the family from the beginning. Therefore, what ended up happening to him still depended on his fiancee. Maybe he can get away with this. However, Alba did not want her life to be in the hands of the man.
“Before I leave, my master gave me a lot of money, so funds are not a problem. Miss Fellowes, tell me how much you need. However, I can only hide in the dark, so I want you to do everything on the surface for me" David said confidently.
"Sure!" answer alba.
“Nona Fellowes, forgive me for asking. You have to start a new path if you do this, right? Won't your family mind?”
“Do not worry about this. I am still the third young lady in the family. Even though they don't respect me, I still have status. The family allowed his direct descendants to conduct their own affairs outside. They won't ask as long as it doesn't threaten the family's interests."
"That's great. I hope we have a pleasant cooperation, Miss Fellowes" David said with a smile. Then he stood up and extended his hand.
As long as Alba worked a little harder and spent more money to give him more fancy points to increase his strength, it didn't matter if he had already killed Cornelius.
If the Lightfoot family dared to take revenge, David would not mind wiping them all out as well. However, according to what Cornelius said, the Lightfoot family had two True Saint grandmasters and three Pre-Saint. It was impossible to exterminate the Lightfoot family if David was not a Sacred Saint.
Alba stood up and reached out to shake David's hand. David felt that Alba's hands were a bit cold, yet it felt comfortable and soft. His hands are smooth and comfortable. It was as if he was touching high-quality silk.
Right now, he was so curious about Alba. She had a nice body, and her skin was also good, so she definitely looked beautiful. Currently, Alba's face behind the veil was flushed red. This was the first time she had stayed in a room with a man her age, and this was also the first time she had touched a man her age.
A woman of direct descent from a large family highly values her reputation and integrity. Even her fiance never touched her like this.
“Mr David, from today onwards, we can be considered to be on the same ship. We will rise and fall together, so please take good care of me in the future."
"of course! As long as Miss Fellowes can help me complete the task given by my master, then I am fine with the others.”
As the two spoke, the merchant ship began to move again and quickly headed towards the destination of this trip, the super large trade zone in the West End of the Central Sacred Continent.
Meanwhile, in the East End of the Central Sacred Continent, the Lightfoot family also took action. The second row heir died suddenly. It's not a small matter. The Lightfoot family controls Splendor, one of the top five trading companies.
They were a family with prestige and could be respected even in the entire Star Kingdom, let alone in the Central Sacred Continent. Compared to losing a second line heir, they valued more the prestige and honor of their family.
To put it bluntly, a direct descendant like Cornelius would appear again in a very short time. However, if they did not find the murderer and annihilated their entire bloodline, the damage to the reputation of the Lightfoot family might not be able to be easily undone.
Many people would gossip about the Lightfoot family's incompetence personally. The second row's heir is dead, and they can't even find the killer. Then, the Lightfoot family would become a laughingstock in Star Kingdom.
The entire East End Sacred Continent Center will be chaotic. If Cornelius' killer was not found, it would soon spread to the other four areas of the Central Sacred Continent. However, this turmoil will not greatly affect the society living below.
If the assassin could kill two novice Sovereign Rankers next to Cornelius, they would definitely be extremely powerful. This is not something a normal person can do. Therefore, the Lightfoot family began to trace their target from the place where Cornelius often visited while still alive.
Their target was an Intermediate Ranker or higher. However, to ensure that no one knew about his plan so that he could complete it without anyone realizing it, Cornelius spent a great deal of effort to cover all his tracks.
In the end, he had unknowingly helped the enemy. Not only did he die, but he also caused a lot of trouble for his family. They can't even find the killer to avenge him.
Cornelius did not know he was going to die. Now, the Lightfoot family searched the entire East End and found no clues. Hence, they could only proceed with the other four locations.
News of Cornelius' death also spread to several major powers. Everyone knew the second heir of the Lightfoot family died so the family was furious. Hence, they could only turn a single eye toward the Lightfoot family's extensive search.
If anyone dares to provoke the Lightfoot family now, the Lightfoot family will consider them guilty. If the Lightfoot family decided to chase after him, then it would be troublesome.
At this time, the family's first heir, Archimedes, took action. He did not care much about Cornelius' death. However, he had to think about the prestige of the family. This was also a challenge given by the senior of his family. At the same time, they wanted to train him.
If Archimedes could find Cornelius' killer and protect the family's prestige, he would be at the peak of his power. From then on, he would take over the family and become the head of the family smoothly.
Even if he failed, it would be a good exercise for him. That is why Archimedes attaches great importance to this operation. His area of responsibility is the West End, which is controlled by the Fellowes' family.
