“Mayor Salem, the reason I come here today is to hope that you can do me a favor.” David did not waste any time and went straight to the point.“You can just tell me anything, David. I will definitely not say no to anything I can help you with. However, if it’s out of my power, then I can only say sorry if I can’t do anything about it as well.” Salem’s statement was watertight.He would help if he could but if he could not, then there was nothing he could do.To put it more simply, he would help with minor matters but not big ones.For example, if it was about the Campbell and Marche families, then he would not be able to do anything.Of course, David knew what Salem was saying.He did not want Salem to help him with the Campbell and Marche families.However, he did not want the Marche and Campbell families to attack suddenly when he left the Spirit Cage to go back to the real world to have a breakthrough. He hoped Salem could help him delay if he was not around.Judging from t
While Salem was hesitating, David said again, “Mayor Salem, perhaps there won’t be any danger in just one day. It’s been five days and I don’t see the two families coming here to make trouble for me. They should still be making preparations. You can get a favor from me without wasting any effort, so why are you still hesitating? Do you think my favor is worthless?”“No! You’ve misunderstood me. To be honest, I knew you had a promising future the first time I met you, so that’s why I asked Arian to apologize to you. However, as a Birch family member, my actions represent my family and now that the Campbell and Marche families are working together, my family is also helpless,” Salem said with a bitter smile.David did not expect Salem to say no to him.He thought that as the mayor, Salem would be pretty bold and he would not have so many considerations.It seemed that he could not underestimate the collaboration of the Campbell and Marche families.Since Salem had said this, David w
An hour later, David appeared in a closed secret room inside Amber City’s mayor’s residence.To anyone from coming in and realizing he was gone, David did something to the door.The little girl Pebbles was sitting outside to watch the door for David. Her little hands were supporting her head.Salem was next to her. When he saw the cute little girl who looked like a porcelain doll, he asked, “Little girl, what’s your name?”“Grandpa, my name is Pebbles!” The little girl answered.Before he went into seclusion, David told her to listen to this old man.“Pebbles? What a cute name! Is David your brother?”“Yes.”The little girl tilted her head and thought about it.“Yes… and no.”“Yes and no? What do you mean?” Salem was confused.“He’s my brother now, but he won’t be when I grow up.”“Why?” Salem asked curiously.“Grandpa, you’re so stupid! It’s because I’ll marry him when I grow up. So, he won’t be my brother then,” the little girl said with a grin.The little girl was in a
One million lavish points disappeared.Signs started to show on his body as it started to warm up.Then, it slowly became more and more obvious.The muscles of his entire body also started to ache.Three hours later, the breakthrough for his Body ended.“Huff…”After David let out a long sigh, he opened the system.[Body: Ancient level 1 (You may upgrade one level using 10 thousand lavish points)[Mind: Ancient level 1 (You may upgrade one level using 10 thousand lavish points)[Combat: Beginner Ancient Overlord Rank[Lavish points: 1816253[Special skill: Cloning (level 5)]After taking a few deep breaths, David continued to upgrade his Body and Mind.Next, he would use the remaining 1.8 million lavish points to upgrade his Body and Mind from Ancient level 1 to Ancient level 10.The time he needed to upgrade to another level would be less than what was needed to upgrade to another rank.However, he would need to upgrade more times.In total, he would need to do the sam
Agatha and the powerhouses of the March family appeared at the descending point in Amber City of The Spirit Cage.Then, the people from the Campbell family showed up too.Now, the descending point of Amber City was very crowded.The crowd was in a very long line.As one of the eight main cities in The Spirit Cage, it had a very big descending point, so it could also hold a lot of people.However, more people were living in Amber City.Everyone wanted to run away so there would definitely be congestion for a while.Of course, not everyone had to get in line.There would be special privileges everywhere.People like the Birch, Campbell, and Vidales families of Amber City could enter and leave The Spirit Cage at any time.They had special passages that were separated from the normal passages, so they did not have to get in line.The forces were below the three families also did not need to get in line.They were all categorized according to strength.The people who were in li
How should he get through this half-day?Salem could not help but wonder, ‘Did David choose to go into seclusion at this time because he knew the two families would come?‘What’s the purpose of him doing this then?‘As long as he’s here, he won’t be able to escape.‘No matter what, I should try my best to buy time since I promised him.’After he sighed on the inside, Salem got up to get ready to face the powerhouses from the Campbell and Marche families.Outside the mayor’s residence.The two families’ powerhouses were already here.“Lady Agatha, this is the mayor’s residence, and the murderer David who killed Miss Fabiola of the Marche family is inside,” Egan stood next to Agatha and said respectfully.The seniors of the Campbell family had discussed this. They would let the Marche family take the lead and stay back as they did not want to be the first to take action.As Agatha looked at the great mayor’s residence in front of her, she did not barge in immediately. Instead,
“Pfft!”After Salem stood for a while, he vomited a mouthful of blood all of a sudden. He was staring at the old woman in terror.He did not know who she was.However, he could guess that she was from the Marche family.Salem did not expect this old woman, who seemed to be on the brink of death, to be so terrifyingly powerful.She injured his organs with just a tap of her cane on the ground.She was so horrifyingly powerful. Perhaps she was already on the same level as the grandmaster of Salem’s family–partial Overlord Realm.Only someone like that could be so strong after their soul came to The Spirit Cage.Salem never expected a partial Overlord from the Marche family to be here.He could not even delay for half an hour when it came to a powerhouse of this level, let alone half a day.If he knew this in advance, he would rather offend David than let him go into seclusion in his residence.Great, not only could he not fulfill what he promised David, he was even injured. Mor
The more experienced a powerhouse was, the less people would want to provoke them.Anyone had the means to save their lives.Of course, unless she had the strength to crush the other party, Agatha would not want to provoke that experienced partial Overlord of the Birch family.Salem was smiling bitterly.He had given up in his heart.What could he do when he was being pressured by someone at the level of a grandmaster?He could not do anything but obey.Should he give up everything just for David? Should he even give up his life?Clearly, that was impossible.He did not even know David for so long. He was only fond of David and figured he had a promising future so he wanted to invest in him.Even if they had been friends for many years, it was still impossible in this situation.Salem let out a helpless sigh and was about to give up, when he heard a clear and loud voice.“Who dares to act so recklessly in the mayor’s residence? Get lost now! Do you think you can stir up a r
