The Strongest Man in the Universe

Chapter 64

Capitals

In a quiet courtyard.

An old man and a young man were playing chess. The old man looked like he was in his 70s or 80s. Despite his age and his head full of silver hair, he still had a face that looked young and high-spirited. He looked smooth or youthful, with no signs of aging. One man looks much younger. He was at least thirty years old.

“You're getting better at playing chess, Stan!” The old man said cheerfully.

“Still not as good as you, Mr J!” Stan replied humbly.

That young man was Stan Warner, one of the fighters from the T-Faction Capital. Stan Warner is known not only among the younger generation, but he is also famous among the older generation.

“Stan, chess is like life. You have to move when you have to take the right steps. When it's time to take one step forward, you take one step forward, and when it's time to take one step back, you do the same! Move, you gotta move. But lately, I've noticed you seem hesitant" said the old man.

“You are right, Mr. J. I've been a little confused lately!”

“That's because the ten-year agreement you three made back then is about to end, right? Little girl of the Lovewood family finally returned after ten years.”

“Master J, me and my brother used to be very close, but we ended up being at odds over a girl. It was so bad that we didn't talk anymore. I always wondered if I should have done something different!”

“A beautiful girl inside out and a virtuous man meant to blend in with each other. As the saying goes, even the king would miss his morning meeting for his beautiful girl. Besides, the Lovewood girl was really a pretty girl. You don't have to worry too much about it. Just follow what your heart tells you.”

“Ya, of course, Mr. J. I'll remember it!”

At that moment, Stan's phone rang. It was Zachary who called and said that he wanted to meet her!

Zachary had just returned to the Capital after doing some business in the South River Province. Stan had heard about what Zachary was doing in River City, but all of those were just rumors, and there was nothing better than hearing about it from Zachary himself.

Ever since Zachary returned from his trip to the North River, Stan had also wanted to know what had really happened to him in River City. Seeing that the ten-year agreement with Lorraine was coming to an end, naturally he had to pay close attention to the strong man who had suddenly appeared in the SCC carefully. They agreed to meet at their usual gathering place, The Great Wall Club.

The Great Wall Club was one of the top three clubs in the Capital and was the gathering place of all the famous people in the Capital, and was also the headquarters of the T-Faction.

“Master J, I have something I have to do now, so I have to go. I'll visit you again next time.”

“Alright, go! It is time for you young people to pursue your future. No need to waste your time on parents like me.”

When Stan arrived at the Great Wall Club, everyone who saw him nodded at him and greeted him. When he opened the private room on the top floor, he found Zachary waiting inside.

“T-man!” When Zachary saw Stan enter, he stood up and greeted him.

“Zachary, tell me everything!” Stan tells Zachary after sitting down.

“T-man, I went to South River Province on business and stopped by River City to ask Howard about Luna, and also to meet her, but Charles learned of my arrival.”.

Zachary tells Stan everything that happened, down to the details.

“Eh? Are you telling me that David has someone who can fight Mac and he himself is also very strong?

“Yes! He held my sword with two fingers and smashed it with a flick of his finger. Mac told me that even he couldn't do that! Mac suspected that he was at least at Tiger Ranker Peak, or even..Higher!”.

Prangs!

The cup in Stan's hand was smashed to pieces.

‘He is Peak Tiger Rank? Or even higher?’

According to Zachary, for David to have such talent that he could reach this point at the age of twenty was a very rare thing. If that was the case, it meant that David must have been the heir to a hidden noble family. Besides, he might be the first heir as well.

‘How did Clinton get such a powerful helper at the last moment of the ten-year agreement?!’

River City

After David sends Jacey to school at River City High, he goes to the Golden Leaf Hotel. Afterwards, he called Wayne and Gavin, who were in Shu City, to return on their own.

He had not planned to return to Shu City as he had to wait for Aunt Sally to get back on her feet and return to handle the move. At the same time, he also has to get back his parents' compensation money from Uncle Bobby.

'I also need to see if I can persuade Aunt Diana to move her family to River City as well.'

David had just taken a short nap in his office when he was woken up by a ringing cell phone. When he picked up the phone, he immediately heard Hugh's voice.

“Dave! Have you forgotten me?! How could you not keep in touch with me all this time ?!”

“It's not like that, Hugh! I've been pretty busy lately and I don't have time to spare! I promise to visit Lake City when I have time!” David answered.

“I know you're busy. Everyone at SCC knows all about your latest achievements! I didn't know you kept such a deep secret about yourself! I can't believe you threw Zachary, one of the eight

great fighter of the T-Faction, get out of River City miserably.” Hugh said.

He really didn't expect David to be so strong. This happens despite Bill telling Hugh that David is the heir to a hidden aristocratic family when Hugh sells the Golden Leaf Hotel to David.

Even so, there was a hidden hierarchy of heirs of noble families, with some large families having three or four heirs. The treatment of each heir varies, from the first heir to the third heir or even the fourth heir.

At first, they thought at best, David was the second heir, but after David showed some of his football, everyone was convinced that the power he had was definitely something that only the first heir could obtain, and it was likely that he came from a strong family.

A man of such status was comparable to the three big bosses of the SCC. He is also very happy that he has maintained a good relationship with David.

Now that he saw David's ability, he confirmed that it was indeed a wise move for him to introduce David to SCC.

After everyone finds out about what David is doing, he receives the boss's affirmation, which is the final piece of the puzzle before he takes over the Greenes.

“Oh, you flatter me too much, Hugh!” david said humbly.

“I don't flatter you. There really aren't many people in SCC who can fight Zachary, let alone chase him back North with his tail between his legs? There is someone who wants to meet you!”

“Who?” ask David.

“Come find out for yourself!”

“Sure. I'll stay around River City.”

“I will contact you again when we decide when to meet!”

David hung up the phone and began to ponder deeply. Now everyone is looking at him with a different side. He also started to meet some big names. Even so, he felt that he was not strong enough, had not built enough influence, and was not powerful enough. He knew he had to find a way to spend more money.

‘Why hasn't Miss Pearl moved? He's been there long enough now. Does he not know how to spend money? Huhh!'

David never imagined that there would be a day when he would have a hard time spending money!
