“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
The trio gathered to make small talk, most of which were to establish a good relationship with David.The strength that David displayed had left Bill, an SCC core member, a little astounded. He thought that he did not have much chance of beating Zachary if he were ever to fight him.Besides, he was one of the top-ranking core members in SCC. Most of the core members were no match for the eight great fighters from the T Faction.David felt a little bored.He was not used to making small talks with a big shot like him.He did not see himself as a big shot yet, but others thought otherwise.Seeing that it was almost time, Bill said to David, “David, I’m not only here to meet you this time, but I’ve also brought you a message from the big boss.”He knew it!David knew that Bill had other intentions when he mentioned the big boss in the beginning.“Oh? I wonder who this big boss is? And what does he want? Hugh knows I just joined SCC and don’t have much clue in this area!” David as
What kind of woman was capable of turning two big shots against each other?David was really curious about Lorraine’s appearance.Was she truly comparable to an ethereal fairy?“Have you seen what Lorraine looks like, Bill? What kind of woman is capable of making two big shots fall for her, even at the expense of turning against each other?” David asked a little curiously.“Sadly, I was in Springfield at the time. When Lorraine appeared in Capital City, she didn’t stay long, hence I’ve never seen her. Such a pity!”Bill was equally curious about the type of woman Lorraine was, much less David.“How am I supposed to help when there are no instructions? What should I do?” David asked.“There’s no need to panic, David! The competition for the best amongst the younger generation is nothing more than a competition of power and ability. Who knows, maybe Lorraine will ask the two to fight instead, and that would be handled by the big boss’ own business such that you wouldn’t even have
