David gave this some thought.It would definitely not work out for him if he spent too much time escorting them to the Imperial Capital.Considering the speed of the convoy, if they encounter any difficulties along the way and are delayed, they may not be able to reach within three or five days, perhaps even eight or ten days.This would mean months. Who could guarantee nothing would happen in Leila during this time?Emperor Lufian was a ticking time bomb that could go off at any time. He had to rush back as soon as possible.“Madam Chandler, since you’ve discovered my identity, there is no need for me to hide it any longer. I was the one who saved you the last time you were in danger. I came here merely to find someone to have a chat with and cure my boredom. That is all. I currently have something very important to attend to and I don’t have the extra time to escort you to the Imperial Capital,” David rejected her as gently as he could.David was rejecting Leticia again.Letic
When he heard her voice, the man riding an unusual beast immediately turned and came to Leticia’s side.“What do you need, Madam?” Captain Himmel asked respectfully.“Captain Himmel, thank you for escorting me and Zion safely so far. Without you, Zion and I would have died many times over. Don’t any of you worry because no matter how high a position Zion gets to, he will never forget what all of you did for him.” Leticia was sincerely grateful.“This is nothing, Madam! It’s our duty to escort you and the young master safely to the Imperial Capital. In fact, it’s been hard on you during this time with all the shock you’ve suffered,” Captain Himmel immediately replied.“Don’t say that, Captain Himmel. Too many of you have died to protect me and Zion. For the safety of the rest of you, I have decided to head to the Imperial Capital on my own. Once Zion and I leave, you can split the convoy into different teams to move. That way, more of you would be able to survive.”Leticia’s words
Captain Himmel charged toward David to try to save the Madam and the Young Master.The other guards followed suit.Nothing must happen to the Madam and the Young Master.Otherwise, it would be the end for everyone.When they approached David, they were suddenly blocked by an invisible shield.No matter how hard they tried, they could not break through.They failed despite multiple attempts.After attempting various methods to break through, everyone began to look at David in fear.They couldn't comprehend the nature of this ability.It was powerful enough to block so many people.Even their captain, the strongest among them, could not do anything.“Who are you, David?!” Captain Himmel asked loudly.“I’m just someone who found it too boring traveling on my own and wanted someone to chat with. Then I ran into you all I guess this is considered fate! I’ll help you escort Madam Chandler and Zion to the Imperial Capital. The rest of you should find other ways to get there yourse
He remembered how he had treated David since the very first day.Even till the end, he had given David unfriendly looks and kept referring to him as a rascal.Any other person might have already gotten into a fight with Captain Himmel.One of Captain Himmel’s team members suddenly said, “You mentioned during the last ambush that numerous Soul Fracturing Arrows had already hit the carriage with Madam and Young Master in it. It was clearly the end, but in the end, Madam and Young Master turned out fine. Could it be because of Mr. David’s help?”His words brought everyone’s memory back to that day.The guards in the forest might not be aware, but those guarding the carriage saw the whole thing.They had already given up then.However, before they realized what had happened, the Soul Fracturing Arrows had lost their function and the Madam and the Young Master turned out safe.Now that they were thinking about this.Who else could it be but Mr. David?“It must be Mr. David. He is
Level 4 Civilization, Boundless Galaxy.Planet Brechen, inside the palace of the Great Quinn Empire.A middle-aged man was lying on a luxurious bed. His face was pale and he looked quite weak, as if he could die at any minute.He was the Emperor of the Great Quinn Empire, Spencer Quinn. He was the man at the very top of the pyramid that was the Great Quinn Empire.One could say that Spencer was the person who dictated everything in the Great Quinn Empire.Yet, a man with so much power in his hands was now lying in a bed, immobilized. Even speaking took a huge effort.Numerous elderly men surrounded him as they carefully gave him a checkup.Each of them had sweat on their foreheads, and they wiped it away from time to time.It was proof of how anxious and fearful they were.These elderly men were well-known doctors in the Great Quinn Empire.They had been summoned to treat the Emperor of the Great Quinn Empire.A year ago, Spencer suddenly contracted a strange illness that th
The group of elderly doctors immediately knelt, begging for their lives, the moment Spencer started shouting about their incompetencies.They had heard of his reputation before arriving.The Emperor was now emotionally unstable and would execute any doctor if he felt even slightly unhappy.No one wanted to come.However, they had no choice.The army had escorted them here. Anyone who refused would have been executed on the spot.The elderly doctors had been feeling fearful throughout their journey to the palace. There was not a night that they slept well.They were scared of enraging the Emperor if they could not cure his illness.None of them had any confidence in curing him since even the palace doctors could not help him.“You’re a bunch of useless things! Useless!!! Drag them all out and have them executed,” Spencer roared.“Please have mercy, Your Majesty! Have mercy!”The elderly doctors trembled as they knelt on the ground.Begging the Emperor for mercy was the only
Spencer had said what he had to say.The ministers didn't dare utter another word.After all, he remained the Emperor of the Great Quinn Empire and still wielded complete control over the empire's military.They were brave enough to give their opinions, but not to go against the Emperor’s wishes.Otherwise, they might end up being executed too.Everyone fell silent.Suddenly, a voice broke the silence.“Even if you’re the Emperor, the Great Quinn Empire doesn’t belong only to you, does it?! The Great Quinn Empire belongs to the people. They may put you on your throne, but they can also drag you off it. It’s no wonder you were cursed with something so terrible when you’re such a selfish person.”“Who is it? Who dares speak?” Spencer asked loudly.Everyone turned in the direction of the voice. Three figures had somehow appeared in the room.There were two adults and a child of about ten.It was David, Leticia, and Zion.David immediately knew that someone had placed a curse o
It had been more than a year.Every doctor who treated him had failed to diagnose him and, because of that, they were unable to prescribe any medication.After all, who dared use his body as an experiment when he was the Emperor?Spencer had fallen into despair, which was why he was reminded of the illegitimate son he had outside of the palace. He had sent his men to bring the boy back to inherit the throne of the Great Quinn Empire after his death.Even though he did not feel anything for this son of his, the boy was still his blood. He was a much better choice than allowing his throne to be snatched away by another.Yet, today, someone had suddenly diagnosed his illness. It did not matter if it was true or false, but it gave Spencer hope.That was why he had ordered the guards out of the room and could not wait to ask more questions."It's true! You've been cursed, and it's a cruel one. Whoever did this to you is quite powerful. With that kind of ability, they could have easil
