'Is this the first heir of the Lightfoot family?
Genius in Star Kingdom?
He's such a coward!'
David did not understand how they chose Archimedes as the first heir. 'Is there no one else?'
David could no longer bear the pungent smell, so he threw out Archimedes. After which, a flash of light flashed across the sky.
Boom!
Archimedes disappeared in that explosion, his body turning into dust. The first heir of the Lightfoot family just died. It was clear that the Lightfoot family would do something big after both of its heirs died in quick succession.
Grandmaster Saint Realm will also come out of seclusion. The entire Sacred Continent Center might be involved, and everyone would be tense. Two heirs from such a large family died, so the family must have wanted to find the killer and exterminate their bloodline to save their face. How would outsiders look at them if they didn't do that?
It's no longer about the death of their heirs, it's about the reputation and glory of the Lightfoot family. If their heirs died, they could only spend more time and resources cultivating others. However, it would be a big deal if their reputation was tarnished.
Thus, the Lightfoot family would definitely do something big to save face. Now, they will focus more on the West End. After killing over thirty expert masters from the Lightfoot family, David acted as if nothing had happened. He slowly got used to the law of the jungle.
If he wanted to survive and stay alive, he could not be kind. If he were to let Archimedes and the others go, Archimedes would definitely bring a stronger person from his family to immediately take revenge. He won't stop until he kills David.
Although David was not afraid, it would be better to kill Archimedes alone to reduce the problem and solve it for good. After clearing things up, David saw something floating in the place where Archimedes died.
"My Saint's energy can't destroy this thing, so this might be something good.”
David took her with him. Then, he turned around and said into the air next to him, “Nona Fellowes, come out if you're done watching. We have to go back now. It would be troublesome if one were to see this. The Lightfoot family is big, so it'll be troublesome if they repay you."
After David said that, he saw the air in front of him tremble. Then, a crack appeared and a beautiful figure came out from there. That figure belongs to Alba.
After he exited Valerio's study, he heard that David had left Treasure Trove's headquarters. He knew David was going to find Archimedes, so he followed him. In the end, he saw something he would never forget.
Even though he found out that David was a Saint from Valerio, he was still very shocked when he saw this happening in front of him. Dozens of expert masters were killed just like that, leaving no trace. Among them were even two late stage Sovereign Rankers. They were considered quite powerful in Star Kingdom. However, they could not fight David at all.
‘Is this like a Saint?
He is very strong. Even a partial Saint like Grandpa Val could not compete with David.'
This was the first time Alba had seen a Saint in battle. The Fellowes family had several Saint Realm grandmasters, but they all lived in seclusion, and they rarely came out. Therefore, Alba had never seen them kill anyone.
Alba walked out of the space crack and looked at David, who was standing proudly in the air. His eyes sparkled in surprise. At the same time, he could not calm himself from the shock. Who would have imagined that this young man was a Saint?
If he was only a Saint, Alba would not be too excited. After all, there were Pre-Saint, True Saint, and Sacred Saint. At the same time, his family had more than one True Saint master.
The key is that David is very young. His future potential and his master who was behind him were the real reason why Alba was so excited. He was a very young Saint, so his achievements in the future were endless.
Alba appeared in front of David in midair and put his hands together. After which, he placed it on the right side of his waist and bowed slightly to pay respect to David.
He said, “Master David, Alba greets you.”
“Nona Fellowes, what are you doing?” david asked to know.
“Mr David, please forgive me if I ever offended you in the past. Please don't put it in your heart. I am myopic so I cannot see your greatness. Now that I see it, I know you are already at the top of Star Kingdom. I am very impressed.”
"Miss Fellowes, we are friends, and this has nothing to do with our identity or strength. I don't want to mix other things into this, so I don't tell you my strength. This time, I took action only because of Archimedes and Cornelius. I don't want to ruin the relationship between us.”
“Mr David, it is an honor for me to be recognized by you and be your friend. I am the reason Cornelius did that so I will do everything in my power to serve you, Sir. Then, I will build the East League Trading Company as soon as possible so that you can go back and report to your teacher.”
David wanted to say something, but when he heard what Alba said in the end, he gave up. Nothing else mattered as long as Alba could build the East League Trading Company. The Lightfoot Family had grandmasters who were at True Saint Rank, so he also had to upgrade himself to True Saint Rank. Otherwise, it would be too challenging for him to fight a True Saint as a Pre-Saint, even if he had the power of mind, Evil Splitting Sword, and God of Thunder Hammer.
“Thank you, Miss Fellowes. I need to trouble you with the East League Trading Company. As long as I can show some results to make my teacher happy, you can ask me for whatever you want and I will fulfill it as best I can. If I can't handle it myself, I'll let my teacher handle it."
Alba had a joyful expression on her face. He's waiting for that. Judging from David's status in his teacher's heart, as long as he said something, his teacher would definitely agree. The Fellowes family needed the most help from a Sacred Saint right now.
“Thank you, Mr. David. Let's go back now. I want to get to work now and get the job done from you as soon as possible" Alba said.
He's already impatient. Anders will break through to Saint Rank Partial immediately, and will be out at any time. When that happened, the Palmore family would definitely come to talk about their marriage. Therefore, he had to do something during this period.
"That's what I expected." David smiled and said.
He also hoped that Alba could soon build the East League Trading Company. Of course, spending money to earn luxury points was his main goal. The two tore through space and returned to the Treasure Trove headquarters using the high dimensional space.
Not long after they left, people began to approach this place slowly. There are still people who are not afraid of death or who are confident in their strength to come forward to have fun. However, David left no trace, so these people could only return disappointed.
In the East End of the Central Sacred Continent, there was a quiet and unadorned building complex. It was the ancestral home of the Lightfoot family. Countless family members would cultivate here.
Currently, the head of the family, Dax Lightfoot, was writing in the study. She loves to write, so she will spend a lot of time doing it every day. When he focused on his writing….
Tok Tok Tok!
Everyone in the Lightfoot family knows that Dax doesn't like to be bullied while he's writing. Therefore, something terrible must have happened if that person were to knock on his door just now.
Although not happy, Dax still said, “Log in!”
A white-haired old man entered after opening the door. This person was the senior butler of the family, Duke Lightfoot At the same time, he was also a Peak Sovereign Ranker.
"Lord Dax" the Duke called out respectfully after he entered.
"What's so urgent?" ask Dax.
“Lord Dax, we just got word that Mr. Archi has passed away. His life plaque has just broken. The other people who died with him were all expert masters sent by the family. Everything is dead and no one survived.”
Booms!
"What's? Archi is dead?” Dax slammed his hand against the table when he heard that.
“Yes, Mr. Dax. It's true, I've confirmed it." replied the Duke.
He would not dare to tell Dax anything that had not been confirmed.
“Gather everyone for a family meeting. I want to see who dares to kill our two heirs. Do they think we are weak? How dare they bearded lions in their nests! They are really chasing death.” furious Dax.
"Both master. I'll have a meeting now."
The Duke left the room after he said that. Dax stood in his place, his blood boiling.
'How long has it been since the second heir died?
We haven't found the killer yet and now the first heir is dead too?
They clearly slapped the Lightfoot family's face! Who is so brave?
If I do not find them and exterminate their entire bloodline, I will not be able to quell the family's anger.'
Not long after…
Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong!
Nine bell sounds echoed in Lightfoot's main residence, breaking the silence. Many people came out of the buildings. Then, they jumped into the air and flew into the main hall. The nine sounds of bells are the highest meeting order in the family. Anyone who heard this should head to the main hall no matter what they did.
Inside the main hall of the Lightfoot family, the head of the family, Dax, was sitting on the main seat with a grim expression on his face. The other core was the same as him. They all had abnormally serious expressions on their faces. Clearly, they had learned of Archimedes' death.
The Lightfoot family is tense now that their two heirs are killed one by one. If they failed to take care of this properly, the blow to their family's reputation would be unrivalled. Plus, there were two late-stage Sovereign Rankers among the people who died.
In the end, everyone died, which showed how powerful their enemies were. Normal people can't do this. They might even have to ask the grandmaster to handle this.
They needed to ask the grandmaster to handle this and at the same time, they also needed to do something.
Two of their heirs died, so they could not remain silent. Otherwise, the outside world would consider the Lightfoot family weak!
David and Alba return to Treasure Trove headquarters together. Later, Alba utilized her identity as Treasure Trove's third young mistress to begin focusing on the development of the East League Trading Company. With the orders of the head of Valerio, the clients and the Treasure Trove platform were all opened for the East League Trading Company.
It is easy to develop a trading company with enough money and platform. They only need to buy items during the initial phase. First, they bought several villas and determined the location of the headquarters. Then, they set up several branches in different medium and large trade zones. Once that is done, they can start operating.
Treasure Trove gives companies all these channels. As for staff? They could only transfer a portion of the Treasure Trove. However, David also tells Alba that he can use the staff, platform, and resources of Treasure Trove, but he has to spend money. In other words, the East League Trading Company had to buy it from Treasure Trove.
This is the point and David will not break it. He claimed that they wanted to pay off his debt properly and he did not want to use his identity to take advantage of the Treasure Trove.
In reality, he only wanted Alba to spend more of her money so that she could earn more luxury points. When Alba saw how serious David was, he did what he said. After all, David has all the money in the world. For Alba, money is not important, and she does not spend her money easily. This is in line with David's goal.
As Alba worked hard for the East League Trading Company and David did nothing, the two great families of the Middle Holy Continent, the Lightfoot family and the Fellowes, were, had asked their Saint Rank grandmaster to come out of seclusion.
The Lightfoot family wants to find the man who killed Archimedes and Cornelius, while the Fellowes' family wants to make sure that David doesn't lie about his identity.
If Valerio were to tell the truth, not only would David be a young Saint, but he would also have a Sacred Saint as his teacher.
In order to keep the family glory and escape the control of the Palmore family, the Fellowes family was willing to bet for this. They knew about the Palmore family's ambitions. However, they never had a chance to escape.
Now that they had the chance, the family would attach great importance to it. That was why they sent Saint masters forward.
David had no idea that the Saint masters from both families had come out for him. Currently, David was fiddling with an object that fell from Archimedes' body in his room. It was a stone the size of his fist. It had a smooth surface, like jade from Earth.
Since this thing did not disintegrate under his Saint Energy, then it must be something good. However, David saw it for a long time but still did not know what it was. He could not find the secret of this stone. The system also does not show him the history of this stone.
He wanted to ask Alba to see him. Since Alba had a lot of knowledge and experience, she probably knew what this was. However, Alba was very busy with the East League Trading Company, so she did not want to bother him for now.
