The Strongest Man in the Universe

Chapter 92

Charles was the successor appointed by Old Lord Luther. Although the others were a little unsure, they had no say in the matter. Luther's Old Master was the Patriarch of the Luther family. No one dared to oppose anything he said. Even if anyone was unsure, they could only bury it in their hearts.

David follows Charles and his sister to the main hall. There was a wrinkled old man sitting on the sofa with a steaming teapot on the coffee table in front of him. Behind him stood four middle-aged men, two of whom had been seriously injured by Zachary's bodyguard, Mac, at Fuller Golden Sands.

“Grandpa!”

“Grandpa!”

Charles and his sister screamed as they each sat to the right and left of the old man. The old man nodded with a smile and looked at David.

“Halo, Old Master Luther!” David politely rebuked her.

Rupert said nothing but to judge David carefully.

It took about a minute or two before Rupert said, “Good! Goody! No wonder you beat Zachary. You are young and capable!”

“Old Master Luther, you flattered me too much. You're embarrassing me!” david said humbly.

“Dave, you don't have to be too humble. Zachary was already a big name in the younger generation, and he had the Quinn family backing him up. Not just anyone could kick him out of River City in such an embarrassing state.”

“I'm just lucky!”

“Luck is also a form of strength. Hurry up and sit down, Dave. Try the tea!”

Rupert asked David to sit down before slowly getting up to pick up a porcelain teapot and pour a cup of tea for David.

David takes a cup of tea and sips it, still feeling no different from the last time he drank with Bill, a core member of the SCC. He had no idea why all these great people loved tea. He was not interested in tea.

It's just tea! According to him, it was only to quench his thirst, and he had no interest in tasting it! However, since they were so serious, he had to pretend!

“Ya!” David answered with one word.

Rupert could see that David was being perfunctory but said nothing. Everyone has their own way of life. Since he doesn't like tea, he won't force it. It was like throwing a pearl in front of a pig to discuss tea with someone who knew nothing about it.

“Dave, first of all, I invited you here today to thank you. I don't know if Charlie and Sandy would be sitting here without you. Second, I want to meet you.” said Rupert.

“Old Master Luther, don't mention it. Charles and I are SCC members and good friends. Charles also always helped me, so it was natural for me to do so.”

Sandy became a little impatient seeing the two of them so polite. He suddenly interrupts, “Grandfather, Dave! Can you not be so polite? We will all be a family someday!”

The three people froze as soon as he said that! Charles and Rupert looked at Sandy with confused eyes. Sandy realizes it sounds wrong and wants to explain, but she doesn't know what to say.

He could only blush and say, “I'll go back to my room to do my homework. You can take the time to talk!”

Then, he got up and left.

After Sandy left, David chatted with Luther's Old Master. Then the Old Master Luther asked Charles to accompany David, rise, and ascend to the top.

Sandy blushed throughout lunch. He also continued to avoid David, not daring to look at him.

After lunch, David wanted to leave, but Old Master Luther called him into the study alone.

“Sit, Dave!”

Rupert was sitting on the couch in his study when he spoke to David.

David sat down, silent, and waited for him to say something. Old Master Luther must have called him here for something else.

“Dave, what do you think the Luther family is doing now?” ask Rupert.

“Famous!” David thought for a moment before saying.

He did not know why Rupert was asking that. However, as far as he knew, the Luther family was known in River City and the entire South River Province.

David froze before saying, “No way! I think Charles has what it takes!”

“Charlie was indeed outstanding among the third generation of the Luther family, but he was not capable enough to bear the burden of the entire Luther family. He needs more experience.”

David didn't know what to say. He did not understand why Old Master Luther had said this to him. He was not from the Luther family.

“Dave, I want you to protect the Luther family until Charlie can take over the Luther family himself.” Rupert said seriously.

“Hah? Old Master Luther, don't you think too much of me? How could I possibly protect Luther's family when it was at the height of his power? Are you kidding me?” said David.

'Rupert asked me to protect Luther's family? Isn't that a joke? How could I do that? Do I have to be so timid now that I can protect the Luther family? I want to activate the purchase feature, so my luxury points will skyrocket!'

“Dave, you don't have to resist so fast! Of course, I will not ask you to protect the Luther family for free. I'll give you the next big gift!” Rupert said calmly.

David was speechless.

‘It's not because of the big prize, okay?

I just can't afford to do it!’

He did not mind helping the Luther family when they were in trouble if he was able to do so. However, there was no point in asking him to do so now. He wasn't even sure if he could save himself!

“Old Master Luther, not because I rejected you. I just can't afford to do it. If I can afford it, I wouldn't mind helping the Luther family. After all, Charles and I could be considered good friends. Of course, if the Luther family needs help, then I will go forward!”

Rupert ignored what David said and continued to say, “Dave, do you know why the Luther family would exist when I was, but would fall without me? Luther's family was at its peak because of me, but I'm just an old man who lives one step away from death."

David doesn't know about it! He thought Old Master Luther was someone strong, but he realized that he was just an old man after meeting him. The power of David's mind was so strong now, but he could not sense the slightest threat from Old Master Luther. It might have been that Old Master Luther used to be strong, but now it was just an ordinary old man.

It was hard to imagine that a family that was currently at its peak was built by this old man. If the old man were to suddenly leave, Luther's towering family would collapse.

“I don't understand. Please explain, Old Master Luther!” said David.

It wasn't that he was curious or anything, but Rupert would naturally explain it since he brought up the topic. He just made it easy by asking.

Sure enough, Rupert continued, “That's because I have another identity!”

“What is it?” David asked confusedly.

“Pension of Team B Members National Special Task Force!”

“A retired member of the National Task Force. Team B Task? What kind of organization is it?” asked David curiously.

“Talking about this organization, need to talk about martial artists first. Martial artists never disappear. It was difficult for ordinary people to meet them. Dave, you should be the one who knows this the most, right?”

David knows this.

In the first twenty-one years of his life, he had never seen a martial artist, nor was he aware of the existence of a martial artist. However, ever since he acquired the system, he learned that just because he didn't know something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. His previous level was too low to interact with him.

It never occurred to him that there were people who were not afraid of weapons like those shown on television. Only after fighting Zachary at Fuller Golden Sands did he discover a group of people in the world with powers that only television has ever seen. At the same time, he accidentally joined the group.

Rupert continued and said, “Smartial artists are a group that can do a lot of damage. Some of them were already strong enough to withstand ordinary firearms, but not everyone in this group was strong enough to resist temptation. So, when they make mistakes, they are very detrimental to the community.”

“The state can no longer threaten these people with ordinary soldiers, and that is why the National Special Task Force was formed. They were law enforcement and state watchdogs established for martial artists. I used to be one of them but was seriously injured during the mission, so I became a retired member. Once you are in this organization, unless you commit treason or commit a major mistake, you will always be protected by the entire Special Task Force. This protection applies to your family as well. The ones supporting the Special Task Force are the nation. Although I'm retired, no one would dare to do anything to Luther's family as long as I'm alive. But if I die, the Luther family will be a delicious piece of meat with nothing else to protect it.”

David had some doubts after listening to Rupert's words. 'As long as Old Master Luther is alive, the whole Luther family is protected! How dare Zachary try to kill Charles at that time?’

Therefore, he asked, “Old Master Luther, why did Zachary try to kill Charles and Sandy even though you were still around?”

“That's because Charlie pulled the gun first, or Zachary wouldn't dare to kill Charlie and Sandy no matter how brave he was. Special Task Force only protects your family from harm, but they won't care if you try to hurt someone first and get hit back.”

That makes sense! No wonder Zachary, who initially wanted to reconcile, tried to kill Charles right after he pulled out his weapon. It turned out that he was scared at first!
