The Strongest Man in the Universe

Chapter 573

“Archimedes, not good always overconfident. Better to stay humble. Your family is not a decision-maker in the Central Sacred Continent and you are not qualified to do that" David said calmly.

"Ha ha ha ha! Really joke! What a funny joke! If I can't be a decision maker, does that mean you can? A fool knows no fear. David, do you know what kind of family we are? Do you know us? How dare you speak nonsense here." Archimedes mocked and laughed madly.

It seemed like he was trying to vent all his dissatisfaction. David is his prey, and he can't run.

"I don't know! But of course, I am also not interested to know.”

“That's great, David. I'll tell you soon how strong my family is. Let's skip the bullshit. Do you want to give up, or do you want us to take action? you can't escape today, no matter what." Archimedes pointed at David and said. He could not wait to beat David.

“I never want to run, and I also never want to give up.”

“Do you want to fight right now? Or do you want to buy time and wait for rescue? Listen to me, no one can save you today."

"Come on! Let me see what you have to act so arrogantly in front of me" David said casually.

His actions made Archimedes very angry. From Archimedes' point of view, David should not have this kind of expression after he chased after him with so much power. David had to bow down and apologize. Moreover, he had to kneel down and beg for mercy. In the end, who would have thought that David would not take him seriously at all?

How did Archimedes get this?

“David, you asked for this. Attack her! Drop her! I want him to wish he were dead!” Archimedes.

As soon as he said that, the late stage Sovereign Ranker beside him and the expert masters behind him attacked David after turning into a flash of light. Meanwhile, David stood tall, waiting for them to approach him.

Archimedes was still standing in his place. He never intended to take action. He's been scared in the tavern. It was the first time he was so close to death. Archimedes was terrified, and he dared not approach David. He was worried that once he did, David would kill him.

Who her? He was the first heir of the Lightfoot family, so how could he bow to the same level as David?

The late stage Sovereign Ranker was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, Bernard and the other late stage Sovereign Rankers were in front of David.

The two acted at the same time and they would capture David from both sides. When he touches David, David disappears. He vanished from where he stood. The two immediately stopped in their tracks and looked around curiously.

'What's going on?

Where did the boy go?‘

The space around them did not move, so that meant David did not escape through the space gap. Even if he wanted to do that, he needed a chance to do so.

David could not do that under the supervision of two late stage Sovereign Rankers. But he did disappear. The troops behind caught up with them at this moment. Everyone had an inquisitive expression on their faces as they searched for traces of David.

Bernard remembered something and then immediately turned his head to look towards Archimedes. At first there was only one person there, but now there were two shadows. Bernard's eyes narrowed.

‘David! Oh no! Mr. Archi is in danger!'

Before he could think about how David slipped away under his eyes and went to Archimedes, Bernard rushed to save Archimedes.

Right now, David said mockingly, “Don't move! If my hands tremble now, Archimedes must say goodbye to the world. Don't doubt me, I have a hundred ways to kill Archimedes. Of course, if you don't trust me, you can try it.”

Unbeknownst to Archimedes, David was already standing behind him. At the same time, one of his hands was on Archimedes' head. Just like how Nek treated her while in the Iridescent Sect.

Unfortunately, David has a powerful mind power to protect him, so he can fight against Nek's powers, but Archimedes does not. If David exerts force, he can crush Archimedes' skull and inject Saint Power into his body. There were no treasures of heaven and earth that could save him back then.

Archimedes was scared to death. He did not know when David appeared behind him. He only noticed David was behind him when David started talking. He did not dare to look or move. He also did not dare to speak.

He was afraid that David would kill him by accident. The threat of death filled his mind. This was the second time in Archimedes' life that he was so close to death, and both were caused by the same person. Archimedes felt that David was his mortal enemy, and he was sent by the Gods to torment him.

Before he met this child, Archimedes developed rapidly after living for many years. Now, he had fallen into David's hands twice in such a short amount of time.

‘I shouldn't have come here!’ Archimedes was very sorry.

David's threat worked. Bernard was about to take action, but he stopped after hearing that. The others were also attracted by David's voice, and they all turned their heads. When they saw David holding Archimedes' head, they widened their eyes and did not breathe too hard.

Arhcimedes is not the same as Cornelius. First line heirs and second line heirs differ greatly in many aspects. If Archimedes dies, the Lightfoot family will experience an earthquake. The entire Sacred Central Continent might even be shaken by his anger. No one here can escape.

"David, relax! Mr. Archi is the first heir of the Lightfoot family. If he died, the entire family would be shaken, and might even alert Saint Realm grandmasters. If the grandmaster takes action, you will be found wherever you hide. Think about your friends and family. They will all suffer because of you.” Bernard said loudly.

As the patron of Archimedes, he would also be severely punished by his family if he witnessed Archimedes die before him and did nothing. They might even make it a burial offering for Archimedes.

“Do not do anything! Please no! We can talk about this. We can talk about this, Mr.” said another Sovereign Ranker quickly.

The people that Archimedes had brought were all worried that Archimedes would die, regardless of whether they were Immortal Rankers or Sovereign Rankers.

David ignored those people.

He kept teasing Archimedes in front of him, “Archimedes, why don't you speak? Are you scared? Can you also be afraid? Didn't you just wish that I would die? You even said you wanted to uproot the power behind me and exterminate my bloodline, right?”

“D-David, t-please don't do anything stupid! You-you're not gonna benefit from my death. W-Why don't you let me go and then we'll split up, b-what do you think?" Archimedes.

He was already scared to death now that he was facing death.

“Ck ck ck, what did I just say? Better to stay humble. It's not good to be too confident. You thought I had been in your grasp, but you never realized it, to me, you were just an ant that I could crush at any moment." David held his head while continuing to mock.

"Yes yes. You're right! I should have been humble and not very confident. I'm enlightened this time. Let me go, I will listen to you and will never make the same mistake again. Do you agree?" archimedes said quickly.

His life was in David's hands, so how did he dare to fight David?

Saving yourself is the most important thing now.

As long as he can stay alive, Archimedes will do anything. He would even kneel down and kowtow to apologize to David, let alone agree to everything he said. It also suggests that people of high status should still submit obediently in front of the threat of death.

"Archimedes, you should have thought of getting more power from your family to avenge me after you escaped this, right?"

After David said that, Archimedes immediately promised, “No! I would never do it! David, don't get me wrong. I never want to retaliate! If you let me go, I, Archimedes Lightfoot, the first heir of the Lightfoot family swore, I will never repay you. We will take care of our own business from now on.”

“Do you think I'll trust you? Archimedes, do you think a promise would stop a selfish person like you? Only a fool would believe you!”

As David said that, he exerted more power on his fingers. When he felt David's fingers tighten around his head, Archimedes froze.

He thought David was going to kill him, so he cried while crying, “David, Mr David, Mr David, I was wrong. Please let me go! As long as you let me go, I will never repay you!"

“Is this your Mr Archi? First line heir and future head of the Lightfoot family? He's just plain ordinary. Are you sure that the family will not collapse if it is handed over to a cowardly and cowardly person like this?” David looked at Bernard and the others and asked.

“It's between senior core and grandmaster. I am only responsible for his safety, and I have no right to question it. No matter what, Master Archi was the first heir, and once he died, the family would report to the grandmaster. David, you must think well of whether you can handle the wrath of the Saints." Bernard replied.

"Are you threatening me?"

"No, no! I only state the facts.”

“Is a Saint so amazing to all of you? Why do you think your grandmaster can scare me into releasing your master?" David chuckled and asked.

He surprised everyone when he asked. Everyone knew that a Saint possessed the highest combat power in the Star Kingdom. They were all grandmasters in every generation.

'If the Saints are not amazing, is there anyone else more amazing than that?

Is this kid stupid?

He had just asked Master Archi to remain humble but he looked down on the Saint masters now.‘

“David, you can't insult a Saint. If The Saint Association hears about this, you will have no place to hide in this vast universe. Let Mr. Archi go now, and we can pretend this never happened. Otherwise, not only our grandmasters will chase you. Instead, it will be an entire Saint from Star Kingdom.” said another Sovereign Ranker.

“Are you trying to scare me?” David asked indifferently .

“I didn't mean that. Everyone in Star Kingdom knows that you cannot insult a Saint. Anyone who dared to oppose him would have to pay a heavy price or even lose his life. What you said has insulted the masters of Saint.”

“I can't insult a Saint, huh? Yeah, it's a good rule. I like it.”

“David, what do you want?" Bernard finally asked, unable to contain himself anymore.

“What do I want? I'd like to ask what do you want after following me for so long?" ask David.

“We admit defeat this time. What should we do for you to release the Master Archi? Notify us. I know you definitely have your demands because you haven't taken action after all this time. Tell us and we'll fulfill it for you."

"alright. I'll tell you what I want. If you can help me take care of something, I'll let it go." David thought about it and said.

Bernard said nothing. Archimedes, who was under David's control, shouted impatiently, “Tell us! Tell us now! David, as long as you tell us, I will do my best to help you. There is nothing I cannot do in the Central Sacred Continent!”

“When I came here not long ago, I met a man who was quite arrogant, and I got into a conflict with him. He wanted to kill me, but he failed. So, I killed him. His family had to come to look for me. Can you help me with that?"

“Surely, I can sure! Sure was! David, leave this to me. If his family dares to come to you, I will definitely help you take care of him. No one in the Central Sacred Continent would dare to disrespect me." cried Archimedes as if he had caught a glimpse of hope.

It'll be fine if David has demands. He was worried that David would be stubborn and then instantly kill him. If that happened, he would be greatly harmed.

“Oh yes, before the man died, he told me that his name was Cornelius Lightfoot. You are Archimedes Lightfoot and you both have Lightfoot as your last name. Besides, you two are so pretentious, so I think you should get to know each other" David said, pretending to be stupid.

'What?

The cornelius?

David was the one who killed Cornelius?'

The smile on Archimedes' face froze.

Then his body began to tremble, and a strong fear filled his heart. Since David dared to kill Cornelius, did he also dare to kill him?

Bernard and the other expert masters, were all dumbfounded as they stood in the distance. The reason they're here is because the family asked them to investigate Cornelius' death. Who knew that the killer was right in front of them?

At the same time, he also had Archimedes as a hostage now. They're not idiots, and they know that David played them like a fool. Archimedes Lightfoot and Cornelius Lightfoot. At first glance one could tell that they were related, so how could David not know that?

In addition, Cornelius had told David with certainty that he was the second heir of the Lightfoot family before he was murdered. Bernard looked at David as his brain raced.

'Why did David tell them that he had killed Cornelius?

Was he trying to make amends with the Lightfoot family in exchange for the Archi Master's life?

No way! He's not an idiot, so he'll know there's no way we'll make peace. He killed the second line heir and now he wants to use the life of the first line heir to reconcile?

How did that happen?

What is David trying to do?

He knew there was no way this matter would end peacefully, but he still said it. Was he not afraid of the Lightfoot family's retaliation?'

Suddenly Bernard shuddered, then he looked at David in disbelief.

'Except ... He wants to kill us all here?'
