The Strongest Man in the Universe

Chapter 724

In the Treasure Pavilion hall on Sole's trading street, the second-tier city in The Spirit Cage, David stared at the little girl in front of him who looked like a porcelain doll gripping her thigh tightly. His face was so red that he looked like he had been pinched.

In the end, David still could not help himself. He leaned over, stretched out his hand, and pinched the reddened little girl's face.

The little girl not only did not refuse, but she also raised her head and rubbed David's hand.

While he was doing that, he let out a pleasant sigh. "Hmm, this feels really good."

David was amused by the little girl's behavior and asked with a smile, "Little girl, what's your name?"

The little girl shook her head and said with a slight complaint, "Master, I completely forgot everything. When I opened my eyes, I found myself lying in a strange place and I couldn't remember everything. I don't know why I'm here and I don't know my name."

"Have you forgotten where your house is?"

"Yes!" The little girl nodded.

'He had amnesia.' David thought.

He has been studying traditional medicine systematically and is pretty good at it. So, he knew that amnesia could be serious.

"Little girl, can I check your body?" ask David.

After he finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong with this sentence.

'Why does it sound so awkward when I say it?'

Before he could figure out what the problem was, the little girl replied without hesitation, "OK!"

He didn't seem to show any resistance when talking to David. David stopped thinking about it. So, he crouched down and started to examine the little girl's body. After some careful observation, he felt that the little girl's soul was broken, which caused his amnesia.

'Could it be that his family put him into the Spirit Cage to nurture his soul? The probability is very high. After all, The Spirit Cage could recover soul power quickly. Why aren't there any adults with him? How would a little girl of 7 or 8 years old survive in The Spirit Cage? It would be terrible if he met a bad person. Or, did something happen to his family, and that's why they weren't with him?'

There were too many possibilities, so David was unable to determine the exact situation.

'I can only find out after his soul is restored.'

"Little girl, there's nothing wrong with your health. As long as you stay at The Spirit Cage for a while, you will recover slowly. Then, you will be able to remember your name, your relatives, and your home." David comforted.

"Is that true?" The little girl looked hopeful.

"Well, of course it's true! I never lie, but a child can't steal. Stealing will make you a bad boy."

"B-But the stuff I stole is all useful to me. I want to grow up fast and restore my memory. If I don't steal, it will take a very long time. I can't wait that long" said the little girl sadly.

David thought hard. Stealing this treasure should have been due to the little girl's instincts since eating it could hasten the recovery of her soul force.

Suddenly, he had an idea. 'Why don't I take the little girl with me? I can spend money to buy all kinds of treasures from the Spirit Cage for him to eat to help him recover his soul power. I don't need them anyway. I was happy as long as the transaction was completed and I had luxury points credited to my account. Regarding the purchased goods, it does not matter to whom I give it.’

David looked at the cute little girl in front of him. He was afraid to leave the little girl and make her take care of herself. It would be fine if they did not meet each other, but now that they met, it was fate. Moreover, what if such a small and cute girl were to meet an evil or lewd man?

Following him could also save a lot of time for the little girl.

Because he had to spend at least trillions, even quadrillion Dollar L in The Spirit Cage. With so much money, he could buy many treasures to recover his soul power.

After making his decision, David spoke with a flat face, "You can't steal anything that happens! It's a matter of principle! If you start stealing at such a young age, what will happen to you when you grow up? If everyone steals things that are as beneficial to them as you are, won't the world go awry?"

Since he had decided to keep her, David needed to guide her down the right path. Stealing is not allowed. Such a child could not have gone down the wrong path. Education should begin at an early age.

"T-Master, I'm sorry! I. I will pay them back double in the future." whispered the little girl.

He did not expect this man whose scent comforted him to suddenly change his tone of voice. Seeing the other party's reaction, David again felt a little depressed.

He held the little girl's face with both hands and said softly, "I'll help you pay them back for all the treasures you've taken. From now on, you'll follow me and stop stealing, okay? Just tell me what you need, and I'll buy it for you."

"Is that true?" The little girl's eyes twinkled and she asked excitedly.

"Yes! From now on, you'll follow me around and I'll buy you whatever you need."

"Good job! Thank you, Master!"

The little girl hugged David excitedly. He embraces David's neck and eagerly inhales David's scent. He felt his body recover when he smelled David's scent.

"Because you agreed to follow me, it will be difficult to call you nameless, so from now on you will be called Pebbles! What say?"

"Good! Cool! I have a name now! My name is Pebbles." the little girl cheered happily.

David stood with Pebbles in his hand and said to Thor, "Master Rivers, how much treasure has Pebbles stolen from you? You also have to gather everyone together and then calculate the value of all those treasures. I'll compensate you all."

Thor, Beanie, and the surrounding guards looked at David in disbelief.

'Is he really going to pay off the debt for this little girl? They just met! In three months, the amount of all the stuff Pebbles stole was truly incredible. No matter how rich you are, not how you spend your money. Does he think money fell from the sky?'

Thor did not know how to answer for a moment. He didn't know if David was being serious or joking. If he called everyone and then left, he was afraid they would run away.

Thor did not immediately reply, but asked, "May I know how I can call you two?"

"My name is David Lidell."

"My name is Beanie Nacht."

The two spoke one after another.

"Mr David and Miss Nacht!"

After Thor finished speaking, he pointed to Pebbles hanging on David's body and asked, "Are you sure you want to pay his debt? You're not kidding, are you?"

"Do you think I'm joking?" David asked back.
