The Strongest Man in the Universe

Chapter 579

Now David's luxury points increase reached tens of thousands every day, especially after his purchase in a large, crowded area for the headquarters of the East League Trading Company. It cost him trillions of Stars Dollars, and for David this allowed him to earn tens of thousands of luxury points.

After the accumulation of the next few days, David's luxurious points had already reached 100 thousand. He then spent 100 thousand fancy points to the strength of his mind without hesitation. He added the strength of his mind to also rise from a level 10 Sovereign to a level 1 Pre-Saint.

Although his strength had not changed, every time he got 10 thousand fancy points after this, he could raise his Body by one level. David can become the Peak Pre-Saint with just 90 thousand fancy points.

As David looked forward to the moment he could break through to the True Saint, Valerio, the head of Treasure Trove, was receiving two guests in the living room at the Treasure Trove headquarters in the West End. The identities of these two people were certainly not simple as they could receive Valerio's personal acceptance.

They were Dax, the head of the Lightfoot family, and Koen, the grandmaster of the Saint Realm of the Lightfoot family. Both of them were top representatives of the Lightfoot family. One was the head of the Lightfoot family, and the other was a Saint Realm grandmaster active in the Star Kingdom. He would handle anything that the Lightfoot family could not solve.

Since the two of them were investigating the matter, it was clear how important the Lightfoot family was in this matter.

“Grandmaster Koen, Lord Dax, may I know why you came to Treasure Trove?” Valerio asked, neither humble nor arrogant.

Since the Lightfoot family and Fellowes were among the top five trading companies in the Central Sacred Continent, they were like enemies. Moreover, the support behind the two families was also at odds with each other. This caused Valerio to not fully respect the grandmaster Saint Realm of the Lightfoot family. Koen wouldn't dare do anything to her.

"Mr Valerio, the reason we are here is because of the death of our heirs, Cornelius and Archimedes. Please tell us everything you know" Dax said.

“Lord Dax, the Fellowes family is deeply sorry for the death of your heir. However, sorry, we don't have any leads for you to follow." Valerio shook his head and replied in an apologetic tone.

Valerio had learned from Alba that it was David who killed Cornelius and Archimedes. However, David is the family's hope of getting out of this predicament, so how is he going to complain about David?

Valerio even helped remove some traces. Therefore, it would now be more difficult for the Lightfoot family to find the murderer. After all, the West End was the territory of the Fellowes family, hence it would be easy for them to do something.

“Mr Valerio, according to what we know, Archi got into a fight with a boy named David at the Treasure Trove auction for fighting over treasure. Soon after, he died along with the Lightfoot family expert masters. I want to know more about this David guy" Dax said straightforwardly.

“Sorry, Lord Dax, Splendor are also one of the top five trading companies here, so you should know that the confidentiality of our clients is of the utmost importance to us, the family that runs the trading company. I can't give you any information about David. If I do that, how will our clients continue to trust us? If word gets out, we'll lose our client. I can't stand the consequences of this.” Valerio did not even think before rejecting Dax.

Neither Dax nor Koen expected Valerio to refuse even after the head and grandmaster of the family personally came to Treasure Trove to request information surrounding a young man.

'What's going on here?'

Although Valerio is telling the truth and client information is completely confidential for the trading company, it also depends on the particular situation. Now both Lightfoot family heirs have died in the West End. Therefore, when the head and grandmaster of the Saint Realm came to Valerio, he had to do his best to work together to put aside the suspicions surrounding the Fellowes family.

Valerio's immediate refusal led the Lightfoot family to suspect that the Fellowes' family was also involved in this. Otherwise, why would they not be willing to help with such a small matter?

This is not good for the Fellowes family. As the head of Treasure Trove, Valerio was among the core seniors of the Fellowes family. If a Saint was excluded, he was second only to the head of the Fellowes family. It was impossible for such a character to not understand this and still refuse. This makes Dax and Koen suspicious.

'Did anything suspicious happen?'

"Valerio, what do you mean? We just want information from one person, and you don't even want to do this little favor for my family?” Said Dax with a grim face.

“Lord Dax, instead I don't want to help you. If it was the information of ordinary people, I wouldn't mind giving it to you guys because it wouldn't affect us too much, but David is different. You also know that he spent over ten trillion Star Dollars on Treasure Trove just to fight Archimedes. Hence, it could be said that he was the most esteemed guest in Treasure Trove. Moreover, his identity is not simple, so I am unable to give you the information. Please understand." Valerio explained patiently.

At this moment, the Lightfoot family was already furious and had nowhere to vent its anger. Of course Valerio didn't want to start a fight with the Lightfoot family. However, David is the only glimmer of hope for him and his family after so many years. Therefore, Valerio would naturally not hand over David's information to the Lightfoot family. He would not do so even if he became an enemy of the Lightfoot family.

"Mr Valerio, David is our first target. If Archi's death has nothing to do with him, then so be it. If it was, no matter how complicated her identity was, she would have to pay for what she did. How many years has it been since someone provoked the Lightfoot family like this? Plus, the grandmaster took this very seriously. You have to think about it, are you sure you want to fight my family for David, a boy who appears out of nowhere?" Dax looked at Valerio and asked seriously.

Valerio was slightly amused after hearing that. He does not yet know David's specific identity. If David asks his teacher to come out, the Lightfoot family, whose two heirs have died, may have to come to them and apologize.

'No one can challenge your prestige, but you can challenge the prestige of a Sacred Saint?

If the Ginger family does not support you, you will be nothing in front of a Sacred Saint even with your great family, Saint Realm grandmasters, and endless wealth.'

David is obviously not afraid of the Lightfoot family, but it is still impossible for Valerio to hand over David's information. David's attitude did not scare him. However, if Valerio betrays David, the Fellowes' family will look bad. Anyone would be horrified if this happened.

In the future, it will definitely affect the relationship between the two sides.

“Sorry! Mr Dax, my hands are tied!” Valerio replied while shaking his head.

“You...” Dax stood up angrily, staring at Valerio with hostility.

“Valerio, I'll give you one last chance! Will you give us any information about David?” Dax asked with gritted teeth. It's like he's about to explode.

Valerio was completely disrespectful to the Lightfoot family. Almost all the major powers in Star Kingdom knew that the Palmore family would take action against the Fellowes family and take down Treasure Trove. Meanwhile, the Fellowes family could only let such giants do whatever they wanted.

They were a family that was on the verge of collapse yet they dared to become enemies of the Lightfoot family. How sloppy. The key is that Valerio even humiliated Dax in front of Grandmaster Koen.

'What will the grandmaster think of me now that I can't even finish something so small?

He will doubt my abilities.'

The two looked at each other. Dax's eyes were full of anger, while Valerio's eyes were the opposite. Surprisingly Valerio's eyes looked calm.

Just as Dax was about to say something rude, Koen who was silent at the side suddenly asked, "Valerio, do your words represent your family?"

“Grandmaster Koen, I'm not talented enough. Although I am not the head of the Fellowes family, I can still represent the Fellowes family in this regard.” Valerio replied.

"In other words, your attitude represents the attitude of the entire Fellowes family, right?"

"Fright!"

"okay! Very nice! Very nice! It seems that your family is determined to protect David, so I have reason to suspect you are colluding with him. Archimedes' death is linked to David. So does that mean your family might also be involved?” Koen narrowed his eyes and asked.

He's also very angry. He was a powerful Saint, but he was unable to control a Partial Saint. It doesn't make any sense!

“Grandmaster Koen, don't talk nonsense if you don't have proof. There are many reasons why we don't want to give you information about David, but we obviously didn't collude. We don't know if David had anything to do with Archimedes' death. He left after the auction and didn't contact us after that."

"Evidence? For us, your reluctance to provide the information we need is the best evidence. If you want to dispel any suspicions surrounding your family, you must cooperate fully with us to find the killer. Otherwise, don't blame me for taking action and forcibly taking you to the Fellowes' family for an explanation." threatening Koen.

"Grandmaster Koen, you are a Saint. If you want to fight, I am naturally powerless to fight. But I have said that my words represent my family. Even if you take me to them, the grandmaster will also give you the same answer." Valerio replied calmly.

He was not at all bothered by Koen's threats. Normally, he would be worried if Koen took action. If he were to be forcibly brought into the Fellowes family, he would lose his position as the head of Treasure Trove no matter what.

This is how big a family is. Prestige is the most important. The head of the Treasure Trove was second only to the head of the family. How could he be taken away by force?

It wouldn't have happened even if the other party was a Saint. However, Valerio was not afraid of Koen now that Grandmaster Roald was still in Treasure Trove. How did he let Koen act recklessly in the Fellowes' family estate?

“Valerio, are you forcing me to use violence on you?”

"No, I'm just telling you the truth!"

“Valerio, don't think I'm afraid of you! You consider yourself too tall. The Fellowes family is a family that is on the verge of collapse and will soon become history. How dare you be so arrogant in front of my family. Absolutely joke.” Koen said while sneering.

“Koen! I have always respected you because you are my senior, but do not be dissatisfied with small gains. Except for Holy Root TSA, the other four trading firms were of the same size. The difficulties facing the Fellowes family today will be what you face tomorrow. You can't be complacent for too long." Valerio stood up and said loudly.

Koen's words were very painful for the Fellowes' family. The problems faced by the Fellowes family today were basically known to all the rather conspicuous forces in the Star Kingdom. That was why the performance of Treasure Trove had plummeted over the years.

Valerio can't do anything about this. Not because he is incompetent. That's just a general trend now. All the grandmasters tried to find a solution, but they had yet to see any results. Naturally, they were in no mood to ask about the family and Treasure Trove.

"Ha ha ha ha! Valerio, your words are absolutely ridiculous. How can my family compare to yours? Even if we're going to deal with it, your family is gone, and you won't have any inheritance. Also, how do you know that my family will not reach the top during this long period?" Koen said while laughing out loud.

“You want to reach the top? Stop dreaming. If it were that easy, how would my family end up like this? Plus, Star Kingdom has been developed over the years but how many people have managed to reach its peak?”

“Just because your family can't, doesn't mean my family can't either."

"you guys? If I get my word right, Archimedes and Cornelius are the first and second heirs of your family, right? You still want to reach the top with the quality of your descendants? Very funny!" Valerio shook his head and said.

Then, he ignored the grim faces of Koen and Dax and continued, “The reason your family can get to where you are today is because of a woman. But my family has no habit of relying on women.”

Valerio knew that if the Lightfoot family did not get what they wanted today, they would be at odds with the Fellowes family. Since that was the case, he did not need to hold back anymore. The Fellowes' family will not betray David.

The more Valerio spoke, the darker Koen's face became. After he finished what he said, Koen's face became so dark it was scary. The Lightfoot family only gained their status now after marrying one of their direct female descendants into the Ginger family and using it to gain power.

Therefore, Valerio is not wrong to say they rely on a woman. However, it would be fine if he said this behind the Lightfoot family's back. But he was the first to dare to say this directly in front of a Saint from the Lightfoot family.

"Valerio Fellowes, you asked for it!" Koen said with gritted teeth and displayed his energy as a Saint.

Then, he reached out to grip Valerio's neck at lightning speed. He can't hold himself back anymore. How dare Valerio insult his family?

Even if Koen were to injure Valerio now, the Fellowes family would not dare to peek. However, Koen did not plan to kill Valerio.

The Fellowes' family was already in a predicament with no way out and they didn't have much time. The Lightfoot family did not want the Fellowes family to counterattack while on the verge of death. However, Koen still had to teach Valerio a lesson.

Since Koen was a Saint, Valerio a Partial Saint had no room to fight back. Hence, he could only watch all of this happen in front of him. Just as Koen was about to attack, he felt the energy of another Saint.

When the two energies collided, an invisible storm was created within the room, causing Valerio and Dax, a Saint Partial, to feel a buzz in their heads.

At the same time, the other party grabbed Koen's hand.
