After David finished his meal and was walking out of the eight-star hotel, he looked at the hotel entrance behind him. Pearl and a few attendants were sending him off while bowing. At that moment, David felt that the world was truly wonderful.

‘Who is Sarah Jensen anyway?

‘If I am willing, I can have a harem right now.’

What should he do next?

Of course, he should buy a house.

David did not want to stay in the dormitory anymore. There were four boys in one room, but now, only two of them were actively staying there. The other two were renting a place outside of campus with their girlfriends.

Moreover, he heard his remaining roommate was also madly in love with his girlfriend and was also planning to move out.

David initially wanted to rent a house with Sarah outside of campus, but Sarah refused no matter what he said.

When he thought about Sarah sleeping with Leo, David felt a pang of pain in his heart.

‘F*ck, I should have just used force back then. I let that punk gain all the advantages now,’ David cursed in his heart.

At this moment, David’s crappy second-hand phone rang.

He took a look at the caller ID and saw that it was from his roommate, Patrick Reed.

Even though he had moved out to live a simple life with his girlfriend, he and David were still very close since they had stayed together for more than a year.

Besides, the rent for the dormitory and the tuition fees were bound together. Even though he did not stay in the campus dormitories, he had already paid the rent thus nobody took up his spot in the room, so he would occasionally go back to their dormitory to play games.

David answered the phone.

“Dave, where are you? The three of us are in the infirmary but Dr. Shelton said you left. I heard what happened to you. Don’t do anything stupid, keep an open mind. Out with the old, in with the new. When you feel better, we’ll host a blind date to find a better person for you.” Patrick’s anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.

David felt comfort when he heard that. He replied, “Pat, what are you thinking? Why would I do something so stupid? Don’t worry. I’ll come back soon.”

“You sure?”

“I’m sure!”

“Tell me where you are now. We’ll come to find you.”

“Don’t. I’m already home. Don’t worry. I’ll be back in two to three days.”

“Really?”

“Yes, really!”

“It’s good for you to go back and relax. Think about your family who loves you and us three.”

“Alright, I’m not that stupid. Don’t worry! I’m hanging up now!”

South River International Residence.

The houses here were the most expensive in South River Province.

The average price per square meter started from two hundred thousand dollars.

Of course, this place was also in the prime location.

The entire South River International Residence was surrounded by the River Leeds. There was only one exit, while the remaining three sides were all facing the river.

Hence, the view was spectacular.

There were only six buildings here, and each of them was 38 stories tall. The smallest unit would be 200 square meters while the biggest one would be more than a thousand square meters.

This was truly the gathering place of the riches.

Luxury cars were parked everywhere in the parking lot and one would be too embarrassed to drive their cars that cost less than millions inside.

David walked into the showroom of South River International Residence.

When he entered the lobby, it seemed a little empty. Five to six salesladies were sitting together while they chatted. When they saw David, none of them wanted to approach him.

The South River International Residence had been selling for three years and yet there were still unsold units because it was too expensive. A small unit would cost tens of millions, so not everyone could afford to buy it.

When it started selling, a lot of people came to view the houses. The ones who could afford to buy all them bought them in the past two years. The ones who could not afford them still could not afford them until now.

So, most of the staff who worked here since the start of the sale had already left. A lot of the sales ladies left with millions in their pockets.

After all, a unit would cost tens of millions or even hundreds of billions. They would be able to make a fortune with the commission alone. Back then, the commissions would be two thousandths and now, the new staff’s commission had increased to 1%. However, by now, it was very difficult to sell any of the units.

Thus, a lot of them only worked here because they were guaranteed a basic salary.

When they saw David, they could tell he was not here to buy a house based on his outfit. So, everyone continued to chat they did not plan to pay attention to him.

David felt a little awkward at this moment. The people chatting were clearly ignoring him and there was no one at the front desk. So, he did not know who to ask even if he had questions.

However, after David stood there for two to three minutes, a young woman about 26 to 27 years old walked out from the toilet of the showroom.

Jenny Ward started selling for South River International Residence last month. She only got in because her uncle gifted the boss ten thousand dollars worth of gifts.

She was from a small rural area. She thought she would make a fortune if she could come to such a high-end place to sell houses. However, after a month of working here, she did not even get a single customer.

She could count the number of customers coming to view the houses over the past month on two hands. When the customers entered the door, the old staff would fight to welcome them. They did not give her any chance at all. Hence, she did not sell a single house after more than a month of working here.

Today, she spotted a young man about her age standing in the lobby the moment she walked out of the toilet. Those old staff seemed to be ignoring him, so she walked over to him.

“Sir, are you here to view the houses?” Jenny walked to David and asked.

“Yes!” David answered.

Jenny was thrilled. Finally, she had a chance to bring a customer to view the house.

“What type of unit are you interested in, sir?”

“What type do you have?”

Then, Jenny proceeded to tell David a bunch of information about the houses.

There were not a lot of empty units left. So, David did not have a lot of choices.

In the end, David chose a 500 square meter penthouse on the 22nd floor of Block 3.

Jenny took the keys from the front desk and then they went to view the unit.

The moment the two left, the staff in the lobby began talking about them.

“He’s seriously here to view the unit? He seems to be wearing cheap clothes and he looks like a pauper to me. Does he know where he is?”

“Yes, he needs to work hard his whole life to afford one square meter. Only a newbie like Jenny would take him to view the unit. Isn’t this a waste of time?”

“He might be from a rural area and has no idea about the price of a house here. When he learns the price, he might be scared sh*tless, haha!”

“Yeah, let’s wait and watch him make a fool of himself later.”

Two hours later.

David and Jenny went back to the lobby of the showroom.

The two sat in the chairs on the side of the lobby. Then, Jenny brought David a cup of tea.

“Mr. Lidell, are you satisfied with what you saw?”

Jenny asked as she sat down opposite David.

“Not really. The location of Block 3 is not that great. Are there units in Block 1?”

David figured the location of Block 1 was the best. Since he wanted to buy a place, he would buy the best one. He had all the money in the world anyway.

“Please wait a moment, Mr. Lidell. Let me check for you.”

Jenny picked up the tablet and started looking for David.

“Mr. Lidell, since the location of Block 1 is the best, there’s only one unit left. It’s on the top floor and it’s a large loft-style penthouse. It occupies the 37th and 38th floors of Block 1, and it’s the best unit in Block 1. The total area is 1300 square meters, so it’s a little costly. I don’t recommend you taking this unit.”

“Oh? Can we look at that?” David did not even ask the price and he immediately wanted to see the unit.

“Yes, but…”

“Alright then, let’s go!” David interrupted.

Jenny contemplated and answered, “Alright, Mr. Lidell. I’ll go get the keys.”

After Jenny got the keys and the two were about to go to view the unit, an old staff member in her thirties who still looked very attractive spoke from afar.

“Jenny, are you going to look at the best unit in Block 1?” She was closer to the duo, so she heard their conversation.

“Yes, Ms. James.”

“Jenny, I don’t want to criticize you, but not everyone who drops by can view the units here, let alone the best one in Block 1. The interior of the unit was designed by a very famous designer from overseas. Who’s going to pay for it if there’s any damage?”

“Ms. James, I’ll be very careful!”

“Jenny, you’re new so you don’t know the rules here. You need a good eye if you want to work in this field. Look at him, do you think he looks like someone who can afford a unit here?”

Ms. James pointed directly at David and said.

“Ms. James, I trust that Mr. Lidell is not someone like that.”

“Sigh, it’s fine if you don’t want to listen to me. However, you have to mop the floor after you come out. Don’t leave any footprints, understand?”

“I understand, Ms. James.”

After Jenny said that, she led David to the best unit in Block 1.

I thought penthouses are always on top of the building. How come there's one on the 22nd floor if all buildings are 38 stories tall?

    The moment they stepped through the door, David was stunned. There was no doubt, this was the best unit as the decorations and design were all extremely luxurious.David walked to the french window that was 3 meters high and more than 10 meters wide. As he looked out at the scenery in front of him, he felt like he was on top of the world.“Mr. Lidell, this is the best unit in Block 1. The glass on the french window in front of you is bullet-proof glass imported from overseas. It’s 10 centimeters thick and it won’t break even if someone shoots a guided missile at it. Plus, the opacity is very low, so it won’t affect the sunlight at all. This window alone is over ten million dollars. Also, the spectacular chandelier above you is imported from France.

    “Do you want to move in with me then? I can’t stay in such a big house by myself. This way, you can even save on rent.”David did not know why he said that. Rationally, he had only known Pearl for two days and it was so sudden for him to invite her to stay with him. However, since he said it, he still felt a little longing in his heart.Actually, David did not know how petty and low he was when he was with Sarah. He would always listen to Sarah, and he rarely had the right to speak.However, it was different with Pearl. Pearl would let him make the decision when they were talking or going on about something, and she would also ask him for his advice about anything.Of course, all men would have some machismo. Who would not want a woman who would treat them like a leader? Therefore, David was fond of Pearl’s way of talking and behaving, and subconsciously liked being around Pearl.“Is this… appropriate?” Pearl asked, a little hesitant.Even though she was saying that, she was very

    At this moment…On the 33rd floor of the Golden Leaf Hotel.Inside the chairman’s office.The general manager of Golden Leaf Hotel Sean Caldwell was standing opposite a man who was in his thirties.The man was sitting on the chairman’s seat. He was reclined in the chair and his legs were on the desk.This man was Golden Leaf Hotel’s chairman Hugh Greene. At the same time, he was also the biggest shareholder of the hotel.“Sean, did anything happen in the hotel recently?” Hugh asked.He came to South River Province for business, so he dropped by while he was at it. This occasion was purely by coincidence. Normally, he would only drop by once or twice a year.“Mr. Greene, everything’s great in the hotel. The business is rising steadily and there’s a 20% growth compared to the same quarter last year,” replied Sean.“Not bad. Sean, you did a good job. Your bonus at the end of the year will be doubled and the staff’s bonus will increase 50%.”“Thank you, Mr. Greene!” Sean bowed an

    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.
