The Strongest Man in the Universe

The Strongest Man in the Universe
Chapter 69



“What?”


“What?”


“What?”


Everyone who had been waiting for the dramatic fight was stunned.


This included Luna, who was so shocked that she froze.


Who's Howard Jackson?


Chairman of the SRU student council! The most handsome man in SRU! Moreover, he was rumored to be from a very powerful family. People like Leo, whose wealth comes from new money, are not even worth it to clean his shoes for him.


At SRU, even schools have to pay attention to what he says. However, a person like him should submit and apologize to David?


What is David's identity?


No matter the fact that Leo had kneeled before him. Even a famous person like Howard could not afford to offend him!


It was a little scary if people thought about it!


Since when was there someone so powerful at South River University?


Luna was dumbfounded too! After all, Howard was one of Zachary's men. Zachary Quinn, one of the eight great fighters in the T-Faction, was still a strong person even if he was hiding in the Capital now.


Naturally, Howard himself is no ordinary person if Zachary agrees to take her under his protection after meeting her.


Over the years Zachary had sent him to watch over her, he had never treated anyone but Zachary with such respect. In that case, does that mean the person standing in front of them is on the same level as Zachary?


Luna was actually not too interested in the internal events of the T-Faction. Otherwise, he would have heard that Zachary had escaped from River City with his tail between his legs not long ago. If he attributed that to the events before him now, he would have managed to deduce that David was the one who had expelled Zachary.


The Shoron family was a hidden noble family. If they have a plan to self-publish, they need to work with a strong, established family. As such, they had set their sights on the Quinn family, based in the Capital.


The Quinn family had also recently had difficulties in their development and were in desperate need of foreign assistance. Therefore, both sides instantly matched.


Marriage is the best way to ensure the unity of their collaboration, which is why both families are interested in making Luna and Zachary a couple and maintaining a strong partnership.


Luna was strongly opposed to being married for profit. However, she had no choice, as she was the family's only daughter. He was not given freedom of choice and could only accept what his family arranged for him. Zachary has been in love with Luna since they first met, and coupled with the efforts of both families, has decided that Luna is his wife.


Fortunately, Luna was young. He then chose to attend college in River City so that he could avoid Zachary. Luna never thought Zachary would send someone to spy on her!


On the other hand, David did not expect Howard to bow to him and apologize. He thought Howard was gonna hit him! David even prepares himself so that he can control his powers and avoid getting too badly injured on Howard.


After all, among them, one was a member of the SCC while the other was a member of the T-Faction. On one hand, they could be considered enemies, and he had just beaten his master a few days ago.


He thought that even if Howard didn't dare to hit him, he would at least talk rudely to him, right? Isn't this what happens on television?


Since when will the enemies approach each other and bow while apologizing?


How should he respond to that?


To be honest, it was because David had underestimated himself. He had always thought that he was not strong enough, but in reality, the strength he had just displayed was enough to frighten many people. Otherwise, Zachary would not have stayed silent after such a humiliating defeat.


It was incompatible with his identity as one of the eight great fighters in the T-Faction. The only reason he had not returned after such a long time was because he felt that he would not be able to manage the situation properly if he returned.


It was a face-saving matter limited only to the higher-ups from both sides, or at least between the eight great fighters of the T-Faction and the core members of the SCC. When the higher-ups of one side departed, the other party would send the appropriate members to meet them as well.


Ordinary members could go wherever they liked, as no one noticed them. Previously, if Charles had not been desperate to get himself promoted to a core member and reverse his family's declining situation, he could have pretended to see nothing. After all, he was only a high-level member of the SCC, and his position could not be compared to Zachary's position as one of the eight great fighters of the T-Faction.


All he wanted was to attract the attention of the three SCC bosses. As water molds itself into the vessel that houses it, the wise man adapts to his circumstances. Howard didn't think he was guilty of doing what he had done, and no one would laugh at him even if word got out.


At most, people at school who didn't know who David was would only think he was a coward.


Especially if he graduates soon. No matter how they tried, ordinary people in his school would never reach a level like him in their lives.


Howard continued to bow to David, not daring to straighten himself up before hearing David's voice. The only thing he could do now was maintain this posture.


Just then, David regained his senses and said, “Master Jackson, it would be a good thing for you to maintain a low profile! That student didn't commit a major offense just now. Is there a need to be so hard on her? If I don't catch him now, he will suffer severe injuries from falling from such a high altitude! You are at South River University in River City, not the Capital!”


As the saying goes, never attack someone who shows hospitality. Instead of playing by the usual rules, Howard chose to bow and apologize to him, causing David to feel a little embarrassed. After all, there was no deep hatred or resentment between them.


“Yes, Mr Liddell! I'll remember it!”


Only then did Howard stand tall and speak in his usual respectful tone. Feeling bored, David turned around and left.


He initially thought he would be able to pick up some tricks and learn how to control his strength. However, in the end, not only did he not learn anything, but he also felt like a monkey as everyone gathered together and looked at him.


Everyone near David automatically paved the way for him.


They initially thought there would be a dramatic fight, but it ended peacefully.


Everyone stared at the figure of David who was retreating with the same curiosity and respect. It seems that from today onwards, others will claim the title of the most influential person in SRU. It only took a little over half a month for David to go from being an unknown person to being the most influential person in SRU.


The speed at which things have developed is truly incredible.


No one knew what thoughts flashed through Luna's mind as she stared at the figure of David who disappeared. As David walks past Leo and Sarah, he seems to want to say something before realizing that he no longer has a relationship with her. It seemed that no matter what he said to her, it was useless.


Howard heaved a sigh of relief as he watched David leave without causing any trouble for him.


Ever since witnessing David's power that night, Howard had felt extremely pressured to face David head-on.


Those who had no foundation in martial arts would not be able to understand the kind of pressure he was facing. It felt as terrifying as asking an ordinary person to face a higher power.


“Nona Luna! Mr. Zachary arranged for me to keep an eye on you, and I hope that you will show some respect and concern for yourself. Things wouldn't be as fun as they are now if Mr. Zachary had to perform on his own.” Howard said before leaving the hall.


“Howard Jackson, what gives you the right to speak to me like that? Come back and tell Zachary Quinn that I'm not married to him yet! He has no right to control me now!” Luna said angrily as Howard turned around.


Howard's gone. However, his last conversation with Luna had placed many questions and assumptions in the minds of the students in the hall who had been watching them.


What does that mean?


It seems Howard was just sent by someone named Zachary Quinn to keep an eye on Luna. Does that mean Luna Shoron already belongs to someone else?


One can tell from the fact that Howard called the man as Mr. Zachary Quinn, that he was a force to be reckoned with. Compared to David, who was stronger?


What most of them are thinking now is that things will get really interesting if David starts having an affair with Luna and makes Mr. Zachary Quinn come to SRU and meet with David. However, based on David's attitude just now, it seemed like he had no interest in Luna Shoron, the most beautiful of the Three Goddesses of the SRU Campus.
