While David was thinking of ways to shorten this time…
Tok tok!
He heard a knock at the door.
"Get in" said David.
Alba pushed the door open and entered. "Hello, Mr. David" said Alba politely.
“Nona Fellowes, you don't have to be polite to me. Thank you for your hard work. I can see what you've done for me and I'm very grateful." replied David politely as well.
“You don't have to thank me, this is what I have to do. Plus, I'm not doing well enough and I need to work harder.”
“Please do not underestimate yourself, Miss Fellowes. You've done pretty well. If you are tired, you need to rest. I'm not in a hurry. Don't work too hard. If you get sick, I'll feel responsible."
Although David said he was not in a hurry, he thought otherwise in his heart. He had killed two heirs from the Lightfoot family, so such a large family must be furious by now. They might have come to look for David at any moment. David would not be confident facing the Lightfoot family if he did not reach True Saint Rank.
“Thank you for your concern, Mr. David. However, this is nothing to me. I don't need a break. I need to finish my job as soon as possible. This is also an order from grandmaster.” Alba rejected David's offer.
Anders is going out, so how's Alba's mood for a break?
In fact, he wanted to clone himself so that he could send them elsewhere to start more branches. He wanted to establish a foundation for the East League Trading Company as quickly as possible. Then, he wanted to increase his popularity and attract clients.
Even if Treasure Trove was willing to give its clients to the East League Trading Company, the East League Trading Company should also have the ability to take over their operations. How can a client trust a company if it has no basis?
“If that's the case, I won't try to persuade you. I'll keep saying the same thing, if I can finish my teacher's assignment, get her confession, and make her happy, I'll help you with your family's problems." David patted his chest and said.
“Thank you, Mr. David.” Alba bowed and thanked.
Afterwards, he immediately continued, "But Mr. David, this time I need to tell you something my mummy is here."
"What's that?"
"The Lightfoot family is furious with the death of Archimedes, and they have sent more than half of their family's strength in the West End to find the killer. They even sent a Saint."
"Oh? A Saint? How many? What's their strength?" ask David.
He was worried that the Lightfoot family would send a True Saint. If that was the case, it would be difficult.
David was only a Pre-Saint, and even with the Evil Splitting Sword and the power of his mind, he was not the opponent of a True Saint. What David did not know was that the True Saint Rank was the main force of the Lightfoot family. So, how could they send it so easily?
Only if the Pre-Saint they sent failed would they send their True Saint master. This problem will develop slowly.
“Mr David, they sent a Pre-Saint named Koen Lightfoot.” replied Alba.
When David heard it was only a Pre-Saint, he sighed in relief silently. It would be fine if it wasn't a True Saint. David would not be afraid even if they sent two Pre-Saint, let alone just one. Even if the Lightfoot family found out about him, that Mid-Pre-Saint named Koen would not be able to do anything to him.
Of course, if he could avoid being caught, then that was the best. If Koen finds out about his strength, he will definitely ask for the family's help. When the time comes, the Lightfoot family will probably send their True Saint master.
“Thank you, Miss Fellowes, for coming to let me know. I understand, so don't worry, Miss Fellowes, I'll be ready." David nodded and said.
“Actually, Mr. David, you don't have to worry too much. The family has erased all traces of you, and the grandmaster and Grandpa Val are trying their best to handle the Lightfoot family. Even if the Lightfoot family sent a Saint and half of their family troops, it would not be easy to find you. By the time that happens, you may have already completed your task." added Alba.
The reason he was quick to tell David about this was to get David mentally prepared not to go out for now. If the Lightfoot family found David, they would definitely send their True Saint master. At that moment, unless David asked his teacher out to help, then it was impossible to deal with the Lightfoot family.
If teacher David came out early, doesn't that mean he has failed in his mission?
Alba is also worried about this.
Second, he wanted to tell David that the Fellowes' family did all they could to help him so that it would increase David's affection for the Fellowes' family. Then, when it was his turn to help the Fellowes family in the future, he would put in a lot of effort.
“I wonder why the Lightfoot family is not approaching me now because they are a big family and also a native of the Central Sacred Continent. Turns out Roald helped me in the dark. When this matter is over, I will definitely say thank you to him" David said suddenly.
“Mr David, equally! These are the things we have to do. If nothing else, I'll go to work first. Mr. David, try not to go out at this time. People from the Lightfoot family have already appeared in this huge trading zone.”
“Nona Fellowes, don't worry! I will not go out, and please tell Roald that I will remember everything the Fellowes have done. I, David Lidell, am not an ungrateful man. You'll see this firsthand in the future" David said seriously.
This was the response Alba wanted. After getting a positive answer from David, he turned around and left after saying goodbye, to continue his work.
The headquarters of East League Trading Company has been renovated. They also bought branches. However, they did not move fast enough. After all, they need to send someone to investigate the actual site.
They need the most prosperous location, so they cannot just buy the property blindly. Otherwise, it would not achieve any unwanted effects even if they spent money.
David asked the East League Trading Company to have at least one headquarters and three hundred branches that could operate normally. Then, the task will be considered complete.
He already has a base. He had also bought about 100 branches, so now he needed 200 more branches. Many of them are commercial companies that cannot continue to operate, and the location is not bad either, which means they can save time for renovation. Alba wants to complete the task immediately.
Over the next few days, the West End continued to be tense. After days of investigation, the Lightfoot family found several people who had sat very close to David at the auction site and found out what David looked like from them.
Then, they found a painter to draw it and issued arrest warrants in every major trading zone. Although the portrait is not 100% David-like and only about 90% similar, it is more than enough.
Anyone who sees David will be rewarded with 100 million Star Dollars and help from the Lightfoot family if they report David to the Lightfoot family.
With the huge rewards on offer, it immediately attracted many people to participate. It could be said that the entire West End, and even the entire Central Sacred Continent, was filled with spies for the Lightfoot family. Luckily, David hasn't been out since he got here!
Portraits of David began to circulate in all the trading regions of the Central Sacred Continent. Physical and electronic versions are available. There are also two paragraphs of text at the bottom of the portrait.
[From! David Lidell, male, is estimated to be a thousand years old. This person is associated with the accidental death of Archimedes Lightfoot, the first heir of the Lightfoot family. The Lightfoot family hereby issued a warrant. Anyone who saw this person, no matter who they were, would be rewarded with 100 million Star Dollars and an important favor from the Lightfoot family once it verified its validity. If anyone manages to capture and bring David alive to the Lightfoot family, they will get a reward of 10 billion Star Dollars and three favors from the Lightfoot family. Since David may be disguised to hide from everyone's identity, as long as you find someone similar to David, you can provide information to the Lightfoot family. Regardless of whether it is David, you will still be given the appropriate gift. Of course, please be careful, if the Lightfoot family finds out that the report was designed to get a reward, don't blame the Lightfoot family for not having mercy!]
As soon as the warrant from the Lightfoot family came out, it immediately attracted a lot of attention. Ten billion Dollar Stars is number two. What really caught everyone's attention were the three important favors promised by the Lightfoot family. The Lightfoot Family was one of the top five trading companies in the Central Sacred Continent. They were the actual controllers behind Splendor and had several Saint Realm grandmasters. Moreover, they had more than one True Saint. They were ranked top even in the entire Star Kingdom.
If one could get three favors from them, one could do whatever they wanted in Star Kingdom as long as they did not offend a power stronger than the Lightfoot family.
Most importantly, the warrant issued by the Lightfoot family stated that everyone was qualified to participate. Many people hunted by their enemies, as well as criminals sought by the government, saw their chances.
If they help the Lightfoot family find David, capture him, and take him to the Lightfoot family, does that mean they can change their destiny and stop living the fugitive life?
It's too tempting. It's more than just a flirt. It would be better to bet on this than to hide all the time and continue living in fear. It's not every day that they have this opportunity. If they missed this, they would never have this chance again. Plus, didn't the warrant say that David was only about a thousand years old?
He is still very young, so he will not be too strong. If they're lucky, it'll be easy to catch David. Therefore, once the Lightfoot family issued this warrant, countless criminals from the Central Sacred Continent began swarming to the West End.
Plus, as the news spread, the fugitives from Star Kingdom also headed to the West End. Not only them, even the medium to small forces sent people to start looking for David. No one wants to miss the opportunity to establish a close relationship with the Lightfoot family.
This clearly showed how powerful the Lightfoot family was to be able to gather so many supporters. The Lightfoot Family not only controlled Splendor, one of the top five trading companies in the Central Sacred Continent, and had countless assets, they even had several Saint Realm grandmasters.
Moreover, they had the Ginger family, one of the top six major powers in the Star Kingdom as support. They have money, power, and even background. Who would dare to offend such a family that was at the peak of its power?
After the warrant was issued, David's name and portrait became popular in the Central Sacred Continent. It was believed that it would soon spread through Star Kingdom. Although no one knew who this young man of less than a thousand years old was, they knew this child would not live for long. How many people offended the Lightfoot family survived?
They were completely negligent to consider whether David alone could go against the Lightfoot family. The power in Star Kingdom that was not afraid of the Lightfoot family could be counted with two hands. Meanwhile, there were no direct descendants bearing Lidell's last name in the force. If David has the power to fight the Lightfoot family, they won't issue a warrant to look for him.
