It took Luna nearly half an hour before she finished speaking. The majority of the members in the audience were in a dumbfounded state, just like David. These males had only been attracted here because of how popular the leader of the Three Campus Belles was. As for learning martial arts? In these times, it was a much safer choice to make money. David was rather impressed with Luna. She was obviously preaching to deaf ears, but she still managed to speak with such conviction for such a long time. It was not a feat that any ordinary person could accomplish!“I’ll open the floor for questions now. Feel free to answer any questions you may have, and I will resolve them immediately!” Luna said as she sat down on the podium with her feet crossed. “President Shoron, I would like to ask, do grandmasters still exist today? Isn’t this something that only appears in television shows and novels?” A male student asked as he stood. “Grandmasters, in reality, are different from the grandm
Now that everyone had gathered around, David had no choice but to stand. “Mr. Liddell, I was hoping that you could help me plead to the Luther family to show some mercy and let my family go, if that’s alright?” Leo said. “The Luther family is attacking you because you offended Sandy. What does that have to do with me? Besides, are we close? Why should I help you?” David asked in reply. “I…” Leo had no idea how to respond to David’s questions. Were they close? He had stolen David’s girlfriend from him, humiliated David, caused David to vomit blood, and even posted the pictures onto the campus network and group chats, making David the butt of the faculty’s jokes. How could they be close? It would be more accurate to say they were sworn enemies. Sarah gazed at David. He seemed to have turned into an entirely new person ever since they broke up. In the past, if anyone were to ask who knew David the best, she would definitely be that person. However, she now realized that
“David Lindell! I’m begging you, alright? For the sake of our past relationship, can you help me just this once?” Sarah suddenly lowered her voice and began pleading. Now, if she could get David to help resolve the crisis that Leo’s family was facing, she would be able to marry Leo and live a rich and lavish life. That had always been a dream of hers. She had that dream even back when she was with David. However, she had been hesitant to pursue it because of how kindly David treated her. Otherwise, she would have never banished David to the sidelines when Leo professed his feelings for her.“Sarah Jensen, you have no right to beg me! Everyone else has the right to beg me, but you don’t! I’ve done so much for you over the years, but I’m nothing compared to a few pieces of designer clothing and purses? I’ve been blind for so many years, and I won’t be able to help you! Goodbye!” David strode off when he finished speaking. However, Leo grabbed hold of his feet. “Mr. Liddell,
“What?”“What?” “What?” Everyone who had been waiting for a dramatic showdown was stunned. This included Luna, who was so stunned that she froze. Who was Howard Jackson? President of the SRU student council! The most handsome guy in SRU!Moreover, he was rumored to have come from a scarily powerful family. People like Leo, whose fortune came from new money, were not even worthy of cleaning his shoes for him. In SRU, even the school had to pay attention to what he said. Yet, a person like him had to bow down and apologize to David? What was David’s identity? Never mind the fact that Leo had knelt before him. Even a famous person like Howard could not afford to offend him!It was a little scary if you thought about it!Since when had there been someone so powerful in South River University? Luna was astonished as well!After all, Howard was one of Zachary’s men. Zachary Quinn, one of the eight great fighters in the T faction, was still a powerful person eve
If not, Zachary would not have remained silent after such a humiliating defeat. It did not fit his identity as one of the eight great fighters from T faction. The only reason he had not returned yet after all this time was because he felt that he would not be able to command the situation properly if he returned. Although there was some hostility between T faction and the SCC, it was not that members of T faction could not cross over into areas that the SCC had control over, or that members of the SCC could not enter places where T faction was located. It was a face-saving issue limited to only the higher-ups of both parties, or at least between the eight great fighters of T faction and the SCC’s core members. When one party’s higher-ups set out, the other party would send out appropriate members to meet them as well. Ordinary members could go anywhere they pleased, for no one paid any attention to them.Previously, if Charles had not been desperate to get himself promoted t
David had nowhere to go after leaving the building, nor did he want to return to the classroom, so he went to the tiny forest beside the sports field and stared blankly at the students on the sports field, sweating buckets.He thought about his experience for the past half a month. It was truly like a dream.Initially a pauper, his life was turned around because of a system.He did not realize how long it had been.A crisp and clear voice rang out beside David’s ear.“Are you David?”David turned his head to look.Luna?What was she doing here looking for him?Nevertheless, he replied, “Yeah!”“Do you know Zachary?” Luna asked again.“Sort of!”“Are you friends?”“Enemies!”“Oh? Those who can qualify as Zachary’s enemy are no ordinary people! It’s no wonder Howard is so afraid of you!”“You’re wrong! I am an ordinary person!”Luna did not dwell on this issue and asked, “Do you want to join the martial arts club?”“I wanted to initially, but I don’t want to join anymore
David left.Luna remained standing on the same spot with a charming smile spread out across her slightly astonished face.It seemed that she would have to rely on David to get rid of her ill-fated destiny which her family had set out for her.However, did she want only to change the destiny that her family had arranged for her?Perhaps she could strive for it?At the thought of this, Luna started breathing a little rapidly.How many years had it been? She had long given up on such unrealistic ideas.She did not even resist when her family arranged her marriage. She felt reluctant and at the same time wanted to leave the family, to break away from the trauma brought to her by the man from her childhood.At this critical moment, when she was about to graduate and fulfill the arranged marriage, she met David.David’s abrupt outburst of strength had suffocated her. She had never felt such a strong aura even from her family’s elders.This was an absolute genius!A phrase came to
David was sizing Bill up as well while he spoke.In his early thirties or so.Gentle and elegant.A modest gentleman, it seemed.A lady killer for sure.David did not sense a superior aura on him, but more of a breeze, which felt very comfortable.The trio took their seats.Bill poured David a cup of tea and said, “Try the tea, David.”David could not refuse, so he picked it up and took a sip. There was a sweet aftertaste after drinking the tea, and it was a little fragrant too!“Mm! It’s really good!” David said in a pretentious manner.He did not know a d*mn thing about tea. He learned all of it from television.He was a poor man who spent his holidays working a part-time job, so how could he have ever drunk such high-class tea!He drank black tea and green tea before, but they all tasted somewhat the same. There was not much difference between them.If the tea experts knew what was on his mind right now, it would probably blow their top off.This was no ordinary tea. T
