The Strongest Man in the Universe

Chapter 552

Mick takes David to the VIP area of Treasure Trove's headquarters. Since Alba says that David is his guest of honor, of course Mick will not ignore him. However, after parting ways with David, he immediately reported what he saw and his analysis to the senior of the Fellowes family.

Currently, Alba arrived outside the seventh master study hall of the Fellowes family, Valerio. This is also where he usually works.

Tok Tok Tok Tok!

Alba knocked on the door.

"Lake in!" An old voice came from the study.

Alba pushed the door open and entered. His study room was large and simple, and his bookshelf was full of different types of books. At least there are tens of thousands of books. An old man with reddish skin who shone with health sat in the study, staring at the documents on the table.

“Grandfather Val, Alba came to see you." Alba greeted with respect.

After hearing Alba's voice, Valerio raised his head and said with a smile, “Alba, you are here. Please sit!"

Alba wasn't being polite around Valerio. He found a seat and then asked, "May I know why you're looking for me?"

“Alba, you've been playing around for a long time. Have you had enough fun?”

“Kakek Val, I went there not to play, but to help.” replied Alba dissatisfied.

“No matter what you go for, it's been long enough. You should concentrate on your tasks now that you are back. Don't go out, stay home!”

"No! Grandpa Val, I still have to do something! You'll bore me to death if you lock me in the house." Alba refused.

He has not finalized his deal with David. Since he had already promised David, he had to help him build a trading company. That way, he could change his fate and help his family out of their current predicament. If he had to stay home, he could do nothing. Alba could not accept such an arrangement.

“What are you doing? You just research those stupid things. Plus, the seniors agreed to make you stay home. You can only obey and not fight."

"Why? Grandpa Val, why are you restricting my freedom? Is it because I am a woman and I cannot continue the ancestral line? Is that why you don't like me? Since I was young, no matter how hard I worked or how hard I proved myself, you never appreciated me. I don't mind all that stuff, it's my fault for being a woman. However, you didn't even let me leave the house and wanted to lock me inside right now. What good am I to live then?” ask Alba hard.

This was the first time he had spoken so loudly to a family elder. He has a lot of respect for Grandpa Val. But he was feeling frustrated, and it caused him to act on impulse. If he was convicted, he would not be able to help David set up his trading company. Then, his life will end.

Not only was he unable to change his fate, but his family would also gradually be swallowed up by the Palmore family.

It had been many years and he had finally met David, a disciple of the Sacred Saint master. Plus, he was also a Sacred Saint hiding in the Star Kingdom. God gave the Fellowes' family a chance to leave the Palmore family. In the end, the Fellowes instead wanted to destroy it.

Alba wants to tell Grandpa Val the truth now. However, he did not dare because he did not get David's approval. Alba's sudden harsh question surprised Valerio. He had not expected this obedient little girl to be snapping at him now. However, Valerio was not angry. Alba is one of the young people in the family she likes.

Since childhood, he showed incredible talent among the younger generation of the family, and he was also very smart. He is very good in all aspects. However, she was a woman, and she was unable to continue the ancestral line. Therefore, he could not be the heir of the family.

Valerio felt this was a pity. Alba's sudden outburst now was probably because he had already kept everything inside for too long. Valerio understood, so he would not criticize him.

Instead, he said solemnly, “Alba, you can only accept your destiny since you were born in a big family like this. There's nothing you can do. To be honest, I have always held high hopes for you, and I like you, but unfortunately, you are not a man! If you're a boy, I can guarantee that I'll make you the heir to the first family."

After Alba calmed down, she realized that she was overreacting. 'How can I talk to Grandpa Val whom I respect so much?

If I don't get his help as the Treasure Trove's in charge, how do I have so many opportunities to research the Soulbound Weapon?

Even if my biological grandfather was here, he wouldn't let me act like this.'

“Sorry, Grandpa Val. I just lost my temper and offended you. I'm sorry." Alba lowered her voice and apologized.

"It's okay. I know you've been holding him for too long. It would be better for you to get him out. However, the seniors decided to have you stay at home. You can't be too stubborn anymore. Otherwise, I can't protect you anymore.” Valerio sighed.

“That's because your fiancee, Mr. Anders Palmore, will be out soon. You have to stay home for a while. As soon as he comes out, you'll marry his family. Anders is the first heir to his family, and he has an incredible talent. Moreover, he was one of the most formidable geniuses amongst the younger generation of Star Kingdom. You must know all this, so that you will not be harmed after you marry her."

'Anders will come out?'

Alba's heart stiffened.

'What should I do?

I have not yet started my partnership with David. And David has not completed the task of his master. So, there's no way I'm asking David to help the family get out of Palmore's control right now. What am I supposed to do?

Even if David wanted to help me, he was helpless. Only his master, a Sacred Saint hidden in the Star Kingdom, can help me. David said he could only ask for something from his teacher if he had already completed his task. Now that he had yet to complete his task, how could he ask for this?

Why can't Anders wait any longer?

Is God trying to destroy my family?'

Alba felt very helpless. No matter how hard he tried, he still could not escape the fate arrangements. Anders announces that he will be out soon, and the family forbids him from approaching David.

If he could not work with David anymore, David and his Sacred Saint teacher would not help him. When Anders really comes out, he'll marry her soon enough. Furthermore, the Palmore family would slowly devour the Fellowes family.

In the end, the Fellowes family could only hand over the Treasure Trove left behind by their grandmaster to protect their heritage. Even so, the Palmore family probably wouldn't just leave them alone.

After that, the Fellowes' families would lose their assets that were passed down from generation to generation and could only struggle on the verge of death. They might even die someday.

At this moment, Alba was in a dilemma. The Fellowes' family would hate him, and the Palmore family would not like him.

'NO! Absolutely not! I can't give up like this! I have to bet so I can get my freedom.’ thought Alba firmly.

Alba wonders what she can do to make her family change their minds. He has to finish what he promised David. This is the Fellowes' family, and he, the only hope. Even if he failed in the end, he would have no regrets. He has tried his best. He might fail, but at least he had a little hope. If he did not try his best, he could only accept the fate arrangements. Alba's living environment made her bound not to accept her fate obediently. He had worked hard since he was young to fight his fate. But he never won. He had lost many times before. This time, he hoped that everything would change. “Grandfather Val, I don't want to be punished. I still have something important to do, can you help me? I'm begging you. Only once. After this, I will receive the family settings obediently.” pinta Alba.

Valerio was the person in charge of Treasure Trove, so he had a very high status in the family. Aside from a few Saint Realm grandmasters, he was second only to the head of the family. Alba might have a chance if she was willing to help him. “Alba, this is decided by the seniors. My hands are also tied, ”Valerio shook his head and said. “I don't believe you! Grandfather Val, you are the person in charge of Treasure Trove and you are ignoring the entire company. You have a high status in the family, so you can definitely help me, ”balas Alba. “You must tell me what is so important! If you tell me and I agree, I'll humble myself and speak for you in front of the head of the family so that you don't get punished. ” “I...” Alba stunned. He trusted Grandpa Val completely. However, Alba did not dare to tell him anything without David's consent. Moreover, he also needed to mention teacher David, a hidden Sacred Saint, for him to sound convincing. There was no point if David and his master were upset.

“Grandfather Val, I can't tell you now, but can you trust me? This is not just for me but for the whole family.” Alba said seriously.

"Oh? For family? Tell me, what are you doing for the family?” Valerio's interests are piqued.

He watched Alba grow up. This girl always had her own thoughts, and she always tried her best to prove herself. He would never take a family arrangement for granted. But as a woman, she still could not change her fate no matter how hard she struggled.

Based on Valerio's understanding of Alba, he wouldn't talk recklessly or talk nonsense. Since he said it was for the family, there must be a secret behind it. But, what is he planning?

Valerio.

“Grandfather Val, do you believe me?” ask Alba.

Valerio saw how serious Alba was, and he didn't look like he was joking. Combining their relationship and the girl's previous appearance, Valerio had no reason to doubt Alba.

“I believe! However, you have to give a reason to convince the head of the family." Valerio replied.

“Thank you for trusting me! I still can't tell you everything, but I can tell you that if I succeed, I may be able to help the family out of our current predicament. This is the only trace of hope I have found after all these years" Alba said after taking a deep breath.

“Help families out of what difficulties?” Valerio couldn't understand for a while.

“Helps the family out of trouble that the Palmore family is slowly eating. Help the Fellowes family regain their freedom and not be restricted by anyone anymore.”
