The Strongest Man in the Universe

Chapter 576

The most important thing right now was to develop the East League Trading Company, spend money, earn luxury points, and reach the True Saint Rank realm. He would slowly research the stone after this.

If he can't, then he will ask Alba for help after arranging for Alba to take the company on the right track. David has been tinkering with it for a long time.

He had pinched, rubbed, squeezed, and thrown the stone, but other than learning it was so hard, he found nothing. 'Is this stone useless other than its hard exterior?'

David did not believe. If it were only hard to destroy, Archimedes would not have taken it with him. Based on the identity of Archimedes, he would only carry this stone if it was useful. Since the system did not plan to insert this stone, David would open the system itself to see if it would react. Then, David opened the system panel.

No changes to the system.

The East League Trading Company had not officially started to issue any money. Now, it's still in the preparatory stage. However, Alba told David that the East League Trading Company would start buying some villas as headquarters. They will soon start spending money.

After that, they would start spending more money if they wanted to build a branch in the middle or large trade zone, he said, they also needed to purchase a lot of resources after the East League Trading Company started operating normally in a short period of time.

This is what David wanted. His main goal in starting the East League Trading Company was to spend money and earn luxury points. It would be even better if he could spend trillions as quickly as possible to help him reach True Saint Rank.

System data is not interesting. Then, David took the stone and held it before his eyes. He wanted to match the stone with the system panel to see if the system could detect it. After the two meet, the system changes, and a new pop-up appears.

[Low-Level Space Stone: Space Stone is an ore with incredible power in the universe. This is a rare treasure. It has the power of space and after a few refinements, it can be used as storage. A low-level Space Stone had a storage space of one cubic meter, while a medium-level Space Stone had a storage space of ten cubic meters. Similarly, with each increase in the level of a Space Stone, its storage would increase tenfold and its value would also increase tenfold. A high-level Space Stone would have 100 cubic meters of storage. There were limited ways to use the Space Stone and not everyone could use it. Only people with the power of thought can use it. The use is simple: open up Space Stone's internal storage with the power of your mind to store your belongings. You can't keep a living thing in the Space Stone. Host, please be careful how you use it.]

The introduction ends here. A light appeared in David's eyes after he read it.

‘This is a treasure where I can store my stuff!'

This is very useful for David. Even though it was only a low-level Space Stone and only had one cubic meter of storage space so he could not put his sword sheath inside, he could at least put the Beautiful Grape of Hundred Flowers and Fruit into it.

It was quite troublesome to hold a wine jar wherever he went. Since a low-level Space Stone existed, there must also be an intermediate level one. If he could buy a medium-level Space Stone, he could put his sword sheath inside ten cubic meters of storage space.

He would ask Valerio when he had the time and see if Treasure Trove had intermediate-tier Space Stones for sale. If they had it, he would buy it no matter how much it cost. Not only could he earn luxurious points, but he could also use them to store his items.

David suddenly remembered something. Archimedes was only a partial Sovereign Ranker, and he did not yet possess the power of mind, so why would he be carrying around a Space Stone?

Does he need to ask for help from Bernard, someone with the power of mind, whenever he needs to keep or take something out of the stone?

That's possible. After all, Bernard was the patron of Archimedes and the two were always together. After he learned of this, another question came to David's mind. Since the system said that the Space Stone was something valuable, why not be judged?

He only knew the God of Thunder Hammer was worth over 11 trillion Star Dollars. As for how exactly, David did not know. According to the behavior of the previous system, it would show an introduction and assessment for each item David touched. However, it was not done for the last two items. What's wrong?

David compared the treasures the system appraised back then with the God of Thunder Hammer and the Space Stone. Then, he saw a very clear difference between them. Whenever the system introduces or assesses an item, it becomes something that does not belong to David. However, the God of Thunder Hammer and the Space Stone both belonged to him now. Can this be an excuse?

Perhaps the system thought the treasure already belonged to him so it was meaningless to judge them. David wouldn't spend money to buy something that already belonged to him, would he?

'Whatever! Forgetit! I will try it in the future to confirm this. For now, let's see what Archimedes has in his low-level Space Stone.'

David unleashed the power of his mind and touched the Space Stone. Then, he entered the small space easily. There's a lot of stuff in it. There were three Soulbound Weapons: two beginner levels and one intermediate level. There are also some memory stones.

Space Stone is very useful. After crushing the memory stone in his right hand, the contents of the stone appeared in his head. It contained the first three ranks of the Ninth Ranked Undulating Palm. It was said that his overwhelming strength could be combined after one had successfully learned it.

After superimposing the ninth rank, his strength would be terrifying. Unfortunately, there are only three ranks here.

As he held the low-level Space Stone, David got up and walked to the corner of the room to put the Beautiful Grape of Hundred Flowers and Fruit inside. David also placed other treasures inside. It would be easier to just carry the stone at a later time. After he did all that, he lay down on the bed.

Now, he would wait for Alba to spend more money so that he could earn more luxury points behind the scenes. David did not want to worry about the East League Trading Company.

After all, Marlee was her head, not her. Since starting from Earth, to the Milky Way, and now to the Star Kingdom, David realized something. Strength is the most important thing. Everything else would be useless without power.

Money and treasures are all external, and they can disappear at any time. The Fellowes family had money, and they were among the three richest families in Star Kingdom. However, they did not have a Sacred Saint, so they were faced with a life and death crisis.

David hoped Alba could hurry. The Lightfoot family must be doing something now. However, David had no idea how strong the person they were sending this time. They shouldn't just be a Peak Sovereign Ranker. Last time, two late stage Sovereign Rankers and so many expert masters died without a trace. What would a Peak Sovereign Ranker do to him?

Perhaps more than half of them were either a Saint Partial or even a Pre-Saint.

'I must hide for now before I reach True Saint Rank.' David thought inwardly.

He could still handle the Pre-Saint, but if the Lightfoot family sent a True Saint, he would need the Fellowes family to help him.

The next morning, Alba comes to David. He said that he had decided on a location for the headquarters of the East League Trading Company. There were three suitable locations and he needed David to make sure of it before he bought it. David was so happy to hear that.

'I'll start spending money!'

Of course, he would not delay something so important.

"Miss Fellowes, when are we leaving?" ask David.

“If you have nothing to take care of at this time, we can leave immediately. We have to do this as soon as possible. If we can build a headquarters, others will believe that we have the power and then choose to cooperate with us.” Alba replied.

"No! Nah! What the hell's going on? The most important thing for me right now is to develop the company and complete my master's tasks. Should we go now?" ask David quickly.

"of course! We're the only ones going this time so we can get away from the space rift. It'll be a little slow if it takes the merchant ship."

"Very good! It was too slow to get on the boat. Miss Fellowes, I'll take you later. A Saint can travel in the space of the sixth dimension, and it will be faster than moving through the space of the fourth or fifth dimension.”

"Thank you, Mr. David!"

"Thank you back. I'm the one who needs to thank you. You have worked hard for the construction of this company. I don't know anything, so I didn't help much.”

“What are you saying, Mr David? We still need your help. I hope you can say some good words to your teacher for us.”

“Of course!”

Even though David said that, he thought, 'What teacher? I am a teacher to myself! It will depend on whether you can help me reach Sacred Saint Rank and then I will determine if I can help you out of your predicament.'

"How about we go now, Miss Fellowes?"

"All right!" answer Alba.

"Excuse me."

After David said that, he held Alba's hand. This was the first time he had brought someone into a high-dimensional space, so David did not know if there would be an accident. Therefore, it would be best to hold Alba's hand and stay close to her. This way, despite something happening, David can immediately handle it and protect Alba's safety.

Under normal circumstances, Alba could only travel in the fourth dimensional space based on her strength. When David held his hand, Alba's unparalleled face behind his veil turned red. This was the first time she held hands with someone her age. Surprisingly, Alba did not feel disgusted.

After they finished their discussion, they prepared to head to the 7th Great Trading Zone in the West End of the Central Sacred Continent.

That was where David rested when he came to the Central Sacred Continent and where the headquarters of the East League Trading Company was located. Just as David was holding Alba and was about to tear through the space, he suddenly stopped and looked straight ahead. With the strength of his mind, he felt the space in front of him shift.

Alba noticed something was wrong with David, so she asked curiously, “What's wrong, Mr David?”

David did not answer Alba. Instead, he said loudly, “Who is that? Please show yourself.”
