Two middle-aged men walked up to David, Marie, and Hannah—one was tall and fat, while the other was short and skinny!One was Homer Mulligan, a famous director directing Marie's movie, and the other was Mr. Wilson, who Marie chatted with initially."Mr. Mulligan!""Mr. Mulligan!"Marie and Hannah shouted at the same time.They disliked Homer.However, they had no other choice. Although Homer was not as influential as the director holding the banquet today, he was already a first-tier director in the country, and a starlet like Marie could not afford to offend him.Otherwise, they would not have to work so hard finding investors. They could just quit on the spot!"Marie, I'd like you to meet Mr. Wilson. He's interested in our movie," Homer said to Marie."Mr. Mulligan, I've spoken to Ms. Kent, but she doesn't seem interested in my company's investment!" Mr. Wilson said pointedly."Oh? What's going on? Marie, why don't you hurry up and apologize to Mr. Wilson? Our last investor
What if they disagreed with each other? Who should they listen to?A sole investor saved a lot of trouble as they only needed to please one person, which was preferable for them."Can I switch out the director?" David asked with a smile."Huh?" Homer looked puzzled.Not only him, but Marie and Hannah also looked stunned.They had no idea David would make such a request.Homer immediately understood.David must have had a grudge against him for scolding Marie earlier.Was he not humiliating him when he scolded his woman in front of him?He regretted it now. He should have gotten the facts straight first.What should he do now?Although he was the head of the movie, the investor was the core of the project.Without investors' money, the project would never go forward. On the contrary, any director with a bit of fame could replace him.If David did become the backer for this movie, he could replace him with just one word.The reason was simple. The project could work without
Homer froze on the spot.'What did I hear David say just now?'He'll invest ten... one billion dollars first?'He'll top up if it's insufficient later on?'If the funds were at his disposal, he was confident that the film would become famous both locally and abroad.By then, he could take the next step and become an internationally renowned director.Although he was now a locally renowned director, his status was greatly different from an internationally renowned director, though there was only a one-word difference in the title.Just look at any internationally renowned director's premiere. Their appeal was more than ten times stronger than for the films he had released.It seemed that he had been kicked out of the equation.He had been pulling the strings for the film. However, as soon as the money was in place, it seemed there was nothing left for him to do once Hannah got in touch with the screenwriter and producer to find a new director.'What should I do?'Is my opport
She even went so far as to think he was a swindler with good looks.Fortunately, she did not say that out loud.She felt herself blushing now."Why... why didn't you say so, you damned girl?" Hannah said, blushing a little."I told you! But you didn't seem to care much. Huh... Hannah, why is your face so red?" Marie asked as she looked at Hannah's face."I'm fine! I'm fine! I'm going to go to the washroom. Chat with Mr. Lidell!" Hannah covered her face and ran away.Hannah washed her face in the washroom and looked at herself in the mirror.Although she was already more than 30 years old, her figure was just like a young girl's. She even had a mature appeal that young girls did not have.Even after washing her face, her bare face was no worse than typical celebrities.She was confident about herself. Many young men liked mature women like her.However, she did not seem to have seduced David at all.Did he only like innocent girls like Marie?She was also attracted to an alm
The film finished.Jeffrey was back on stage."I believe everyone is deeply touched after watching the film. So am I. I also shed tears numerous times during the filming."Thus, I've decided to do whatever I could to help these children. I would like to ask you to extend a helping hand and donate generously to give these children hope."I, Jeffrey Hubbard, assure you that every penny raised tonight and a taken from the film's box office proceeds will go to every location in the film to help build schools that can shelter the children from the wind and rain. Thank you!"Jeffrey gave a deep bow to the audience, which broke into thunderous applause.David had a flash of inspiration as he applauded.'Build schools?'I can build it too, right?'Lavish points might not increase when I give money away, but I can turn it into something else before donating it!'It was just like how he donated one hundred million dollars to the charity gala in Lake City and did not get any lavish poin
East League International, a two-month-old company, gained instant popularity. People were also wondering how much money the company had as they had announced a one hundred billion donation to build schools.Many media outlets also began to tally up East League International's assets.This statistics were even more startling.East League International had almost four hundred billion dollars in assets, all invested in the last two months.What did that mean?East League International had invested over three hundred billion dollars in the last two months and was still investing billions of dollars every day.It was all real money.It was not the same as the market value.Could a trillion-dollar conglomerate hold two hundred billion dollars in cash?Certainly not!East League International spent real money.They had spent over three hundred billion dollars in two months, and now they were planning to spend another one hundred billion dollars on charity. That was over four hun
They watched Pearl speak bravely and with ease as she faced the country and a large number of media reporters on TV.Billy and Leigh knew Pearl had changed. She was no longer the good girl who would never fight back, rebuke, and always had her family's best interest at heart.These two months had been difficult for the three of them. Pearl used to give them twenty thousand dollars of allowance every month, which had lasted for gone on for two years.Not many could earn twenty thousand dollars a month, not even those in their small county or the city, let alone poor mountain villages.They had gotten nearly half a million dollars in the past two years. Even if they had spent more lavishly, they could not have finished it all in the poor mountain village.However, Sam was a disappointment as he not only lost the tuition fee from Pearl through gambling, but he also owed a lot of debt. Because of this, he stopped gambling after meeting Minnie.However, he still had to pay his debt!
The Quinn family house in Capital City.Zachary was sitting in front of the computer, waiting for the results.According to Howard, David had skipped school these days, and he had no idea whether the dark web mission had succeeded.However, they said they would reply in a week, and today was the first day after a week.Soon, there was a message from the dark web.Dark Web: [Mission failed!]Dark Web: [Would you like to continue posting the mission or cancel it?]Dark Web: [If you continue to post missions, you will need to increase your bounty by no less than 10%. If you cancel the mission, your bounty will be refunded.]'Failed?'How could it fail?'Zachary could not believe it!The dark web was a global underworld liaison site for the elite hitmen of the underworld.If the dark web's men failed, who else could he contact?Did he have to wait until T-man and Clinton's ten-year deal was over to touch David?God knew when the ten-year date would be over.How much longer d
The Overlords felt it the most intensely.Without the suppression of the curse, the Metaverse would inevitably usher in a huge batch of new Almighties.The Super Sky Demons who survived the explosion were stunned.This was the first time the Sky Demons had encountered a counterattack from a lower cosmic plane.That had never happened before.The self-detonation was so powerful that not even the Super Sky Demons could withstand it.Although not fatal, it seriously injured them and made them lose most of their combat power.One explosion could seriously injure those Super Sky Demons in the center. If it happened again, even a Super Sky Demon would die.David was fighting the Sky Demons alone.Blaze and the others could only just watch. They could not even get close, let alone help David. Moreover, they did not want to distract David while he was fighting.At that moment, they finally realized the kind of genius that had appeared in the Metaverse.The news that the Sky Demons h
Rush out?Blaze hesitated when he heard what David said.Even if they could break the seal, they would still have to face the main force of the Sky Demons.Outside the Metaverse was an army of Sky Demons. They were constantly monitoring the movement of the Metaverse and the surrounding universe.The Super Sky Demons were in at least double digits.However, when he recalled David’s performance just now and how he killed two Super Sky Demons, he felt relieved again.“Are you sure?” Blaze asked.“Let’s give it a try. How will you know if you don’t try it?” David replied.“Okay, we’ll take a gamble with you! The Sky Demons will attack us sooner or later anyway, so it’s better to fight now. What do you think?” Blaze said and looked at everyone.“Let’s kill them!” All the Almighties shouted in unison.After being trapped here for so long and watching the comrades around them die one by one, everyone had long been suppressing the anger in their hearts.Now that they finally had the
However, they killed so many Sky Demons this time without any losses, which was unimaginable before.“Blaze, do you like this gift?” David smiled.“Haha! Of course! I love it! David, you gave me a big surprise. We were already in despair. We only hope that we can one day break the seal and send some young people out so we can still have some hope, but at this critical moment, you showed up. It seems that God doesn’t want us to die just yet.” Blaze laughed.David was also a little confused at this time.Some things were too coincidental.Did the system show up at this time so he could give the Metaverse some hope?What if he had died on the way?Or what if he was careful and did not grow so quickly?Wouldn’t the Sky Demons have already invaded the Metaverse by now?Who created the system?Now, it seemed that it was not a product of the Metaverse.If someone in the Metaverse could create such a heaven-defying thing, why would they be sealed by the Sky Demons and trapped for su
With David's cautious character, he would not take risks himself.If something went wrong, it would be too late for regrets.Wouldn’t it be better to use a clone?He could summon another if it got injured or died. Moreover, it could also self-detonate to injure the enemy at critical moments.So, right after the battle, he quietly summoned a clone.The one holding the Evil-Splitting Sword was just a clone.Meanwhile, his main form was watching this with the other Almighties.When Blaze and others heard David ask them to watch the show, they did not ask any questions and stared at the battlefield curiously.They wondered, ‘Did this kid really just become an Almighty?‘Moreover, that sword is not simple. It can actually restrain Sky Demons.’David's clone was facing the siege of countless Sky Demons and two Super Sky Demons. Then, he found the right moment and threw the Evil-Splitting Sword in his hand at one of the Sky Demons.When the Sky Demon saw the Evil-Splitting Sword co
The best result that Blaze and others could think of is to open a gap in the seal and send some young people out so that the Metaverse’s bloodline could continue.They never thought they could beat the Sky Demons; it was almost impossible.The Sky Demons were so strong that only ten Metaverses at their peak could defeat them.The current Metaverse should just forget about this.“Hahaha! You? Do you know who we are? We have destroyed countless low-level cosmic planes like yours, and you are the first one who dares to threaten us,” the Super Sky Demons laughed.The other Sky Demons also laughed.“I’m not threatening you. Aren’t you very strong physically? Let’s see if you can recover the part of your body that my Evil-Splitting Sword chopped down.” David smiled slightly.When he killed dozens of Sky Demons just now, he discovered that his Evil-Splitting Sword seemed to have a very strong ability to restrain the Sky Demons.Since it was deadly against Sky Demons, Super Sky Demons
The Sky Demons sent out two Super Sky Demons this time, hoping to annihilate the Almighties in one fell swoop and completely take over the Metaverse.They had spent a long time weakening the Metaverse.They reduced the Almighties from more than a thousand to less than a hundred. This was the moment they were waiting for.Those Almighties who had survived were all the elite of the elites. Even the lowest strength among them were at mid-Origin Realm. Therefore, it was easy to kill them.Hence, that was why the Sky Demons dispatched two Super Sky Demons to kill them with one blow.At first, neither Super Sky Demons paid much attention to the Metaverse.After all, the only two peak Almighties were seriously injured and were no match for them.As long as they dealt with Blaze and Eros, it would be much easier for them to deal with the mid and late Almighties.However, as time passed, the two Super Sky Demons gradually realized something was wrong. The Sky Demons they brought with th
“Got it!” David replied loudly.Although he was a little dissatisfied, he still agreed with the other party’s plan.This was a good time to see how strong the Super Sky Demon was and make sure it would be appropriate to summon some of his clones.“Go!”Blaze took the lead, jumping up from the ground and shooting into the sky.The rest of the Almighties followed, with David hiding among them.At this time, countless huge black shadows descended from the sky, and two Super Sky Demons were in the lead.“Surrender! Otherwise, you will die!” The ferocious-looking Super Sky Demon opened his terrifying mouth.“F*ck you!” Blaze yelled.They originally lived a peaceful life in the Metaverse and were at peace with the surrounding universe.However, these scoundrels showed up and sealed the Metaverse. Then, the Origin Realm Almighties died one after another to protect their homeland.From more than a thousand people, the number of the Almighties dropped sharply to less than a hundred.
“Leave one of the Super Sky Demons to me. You and Eros can deal with the other one.”The moment David finished saying that, he got the Evil-Splitting Sword, and his whole temperament changed drastically.He seemed to fuse with the Evil-Splitting Sword and become a decisive and sharp-edged weapon.The Evil-Splitting Sword, combined with the energy emanating from David, caused even the Almighties standing next to him to take a few steps back unconsciously.After they came back to their senses, they blushed and stared at David in disbelief.They were experienced Almighties, yet they were actually shocked by a newcomer. How could this be possible?At this time, everyone’s eyes were focused on David, including Blaze and Eros.As peak Origin Realms, the two felt it more deeply than others.After David and the sword in his hand merged, they formed an extremely terrifying force that even made Blaze and Eros feel a strong threat.One must know that they were the strongest in the Metave
As Blaze finished speaking, four figures quickly descended from the sky before he could act.Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!In the blink of an eye, they fell to the ground.Then, four ragged Almighties rushed over and landed on the platform.The four were responsible for monitoring every move of the Sky Demons, and they tried to come back to report the situation when they noticed something was wrong.However, in the end, they still could not escape the Super Sky Demon’s attack. So, all four suffered varying degrees of injuries.However, it was not easy to kill Almighties, even if a Super Sky Demon did it.“Are you four okay?” Blaze asked.“Don’t worry, Blaze, I won’t die so soon. The Super Sky Demon is so powerful! He seriously injured four of us with just one move,” one of the middle-aged men replied, spitting out a mouthful of blood.“A Super Sky Demon is equivalent to a peak Almighty. You are only in mid-Origin Realm, so naturally, you are no match for him! How many Super Sky Demo
