I’m A Quadrillionaire

Chapter 366

Joseph shuddered.
‘Did something happen to Justin?’
It had to be said that experience definitely mattered. Joseph was very powerful to be able to support
the Chasez family and have it stand strong for so many years
Just from those two little things alone, he could tell that something must have happened to Justin.
He turned to the guests of the major families in the hall and said, “I’m sorry everyone, the party is over.
We have some things to deal with. I’ll invite you all to my humble abode again another day.” :
In this situation, normal people could see that the Chasez family had gotten into trouble, but even
though some people from the smaller families were curious, they did not dare to offend the Chasez
family, so they slowly left.
Those from big families were not so easy to get rid of. After all, how could they miss this interesting
event?
Joseph did not care about these people, as he was desperate to find out what was going on.
Stan also quietly contacted his family at this time.
“Falcon, the spirit of Somerland is conducting official business, so please don’t get in our way, Old
Master Chasez,” Lucas said.
“What the hell is going on? Please tell me,” Joseph-asked.
Lucas did not answer Joseph but continued to stare at the two senior executives of Bloodthirsty
Mercenaries.
Seeing that the other party was not answering him, Joseph said to Hank, who was standing next to him,
“Hank, call your uncle.”
Hank took out his phone and dialed Justin’s number, but no one answered even after a long time.
“Grandpa, no one is picking up,” Hank said in a flustered voice. Joseph’s heart sank
He knew something must have happened.
“Did something happen to my son, Justin? Sirs, please tell me!” Joseph bowed to Lucas and asked
respectfully.
Seeing Joseph’s attitude, Lucas sighed and replied, “Old Master Chasez, I was ordered to come and ask
the two senior executives of the Bloodthirsty Mercenaries to come back with me to aid with an
investigation. As for other matters, it’s inconvenient for me to speak to you about them.”
Joseph wanted to say something more, but he was interrupted by a voice.
“Justin the Tyrant is dead. He was killed by a man named Silver Face and Dark Cape has been breached,
so that’s why the two senior executives from the Bloodthirsty Mercenaries wanted t o escape.”
The person who spoke was Chase, the second son of the Snow family.
He had just been told the news of Justin’s death by T-man Stan, so he naturally knew what the T-man
meant. He wanted Chase to help him break the news.
Of course, he was more than happy to do this for Stan.
Since Hank became T Faction’s second T-man, he had been extremely arrogant and had suppressed
Chase many times. Thus, Chase had disliked him for a long time.
He was the happiest to hear the news of Justin’s demise.
When these words came out, everyone was shocked.
The news was like a bolt from the blue for Joseph, Hank, and Hanley.
“Chasey, stop bullsh*tting! My uncle is the number one in Dragon Rank, so how could he be killed?”
Hank retorted angrily.
“Haha! He’s just the number one on the Dragon Rank and not the world’s number one! So how is it
impossible? I heard that the person who killed him had gone beyond the peak of the Dragon Rank. He
could even float in the air for a short while with his own power.”
Joseph looked at the two senior executives of the Bloodthirsty Mercenaries. When he saw that they
were not retorting, he knew this had been confirmed. Then, his vision turned black and h e almost
passed out.
The current Chasez family was built on Justin’s reputation, so if Justin died, everything would be gone.
Furthermore, during this period, the Chasez family had offended a lot of families because they were
expanding blindly.
The next period would determine the Chasez family’s fate. It was possible their family would become
history because of this.
“Grandpa!”
Hank and his brother quickly supported Joseph.
Even though the brothers could still stand, their shaking hands and feet could not hide their panicking
hearts.

Chapter 367 Dark Cape.


David sat at the main seat in the hall of the castle.
What was left of Dark Cape now were the people from the Red Flame Mercenaries.
All the other mercenary groups had left and they had also been paid accordingly.
The small and medium mercenary groups got enough money, while David sent the three large
mercenary groups three silver secret orders.
However, the silver secret order was also conditional. It could only be used to save people, not kill them.
Moreover, if they did something heinous, David would not help them either.
Although the captains of the three large mercenary groups were somewhat dissatisfied, the strength
Silver Face displayed currently was too strong and they did not dare to refute it.
Moreover, they did not waste any effort in attacking Dark Cape this time. As soon as Justin the Tyrant
died, the Bloodthirsty Mercenaries were like rats leaving a sinking ship.
However, since David promised them this, he would do as he said.
In addition to that, there were only two thousand people from the Red Flame, but even if Justin the
Tyrant was dead, they would not surrender so easily when they were facing tens of thousands of people
from the Bloodthirsty Mercenaries.
Thus, they still played a huge role.
Some mid-rank and senior executives from the Bloodthirsty Mercenaries who did not have time to
escape were currently kneeling on the ground of the castle hall.
“Killer, give me a report of the search,” David said. “Roger that, Captain. We found more than a
thousand prisoners in the castle. They were the people from a luxury cruise ship that the Bloodthirsty
Mercenaries hijacked and they were very rich. The Bloodthirsty Mercenaries should have wanted to
extort their families,” Killer said.
“Free all of them.”
“Alright, I’ll send them all back to the cruise ship later.”
‘Anything else?”
“We also found various torture tools in the castle which should be the tools Tyrant uses to torture the
enemy. Plus, there was also a pond where many piranhas were bred. A thick layer o f human bones had
already accumulated at the bottom of the pond.”
“Drain the water from the pond and find a place to bury the human bones. Then, fill in the pond again.”
“Sure.”
“Also, get rid of all the taxes in Dark Cape. Cancel the checkpoint tax for the two empires too,” David
said after he thought about it.
“Captain, we won’t have a source of income if we do this. Bloodthirsty Mercenaries used the checkpoint
tax to build their strength. Even though Bloodthirsty Mercenaries left a lot of wealth here, they will all
be used up soon if we don’t have any source of income.”
“It’s okay, I will inject funds into Red Flame. Next, you need to buy all kinds of the most advanced
weapons and equipment in the world, arm Dark Cape well, and buy a few submarines and aircraft
carriers to park them at the Bay of Dark Cape.”
“Sure, but this requires a lot of money and we at Red Flame don’t have enough people right now.”
“Don’t worry about the money. You should also start recruiting people as soon as possible, but ensure
the members of Red Flame pass a test of character. I don’t want people who are heinous no matter how
strong they are,” David said seriously.
“Yes, Captain. What about the senior executives of the Bloodthirsty Mercenaries?” Killer asked.
“Investigate their past. If they committed serious crimes, execute them on the spot. If not, give them a
chance.”
“Captain Silver Face, please spare us! We will follow you in the future and promise not to do bad things
again! We were also forced. If we didn’t do what Tyrant said, we would also be tortured to death by
him.”
The mid-rank and senior executives of the Bloodthirsty Mercenaries who were kneeling on the ground
kept begging for mercy.
“Take them away,” Killer yelled.
Soon, these people were taken away.
The hall fell silent again.
“Killer, I want to make Dark Cape a fortress that is not afraid of the two empires, so we’ll need a lot of
advanced weapons and talents. We have to do it soon. I will spend a lot of money to find talents who
study magnetic fields. I want to see how we can attract the nearby magnetic fields so we can utilize it, at
least so that Dark Cape cannot be locked onto by any missiles,” David said seriously.

Chapter 368
“I understand, Captain.”
“I may not stay in Dark Cape in the future, so I’ll leave it to the three of you here. Killer is the first deputy
captain of Red Flame, Paul is the second deputy captain, and Tulip is the third deputy captain. As for
how to split the subordinates, discuss it among yourselves. I hope that when I come back again, I will see
a brand-new Red Flame.”
“We will definitely live up to your expectations, Captain,” the trio replied together.
Tulip was naturally very excited; She had indeed taken the right step.
In an instant, she changed from a bar owner to the deputy captain of the third largest mercenary group
in the global underground world. 2
It was not an exaggeration to call it an instant success.
David was gone, along with the Blue Enchantress.
Blue Enchantress had great talent and ability. Not only was her perception very strong, but her ability to
conceal herself was also outstanding. Furthermore, she was halfway to the Dragon Rank. It was only a
matter of time before she would break through to Dragon Rank.
If he took her back and kept her by Celia’s side to protect her, it would definitely be beneficial.
Before leaving, David invested one trillion in Red Flame to let them build up Dark Cape properly. Plus, he
also told them that they could ask him for more if it was not enough.
Paul was not surprised by this.
David was loaded and he had seen it before.
However, Killer and Tulip were a little surprised.
The captain actually gave them a trillion in cash. Some small countries around Chaos Land did not
necessarily have so much cash reserves. 1
The captain was truly as rich as a country!
Capital City in Somerland.
The guests at the Chasez family’s party had all left.
The two senior executives of Bloodthirsty Mercenaries were also taken away by Lucas.
Facing Lucas, the team captain of Team Vulture in Falcon, who was a peak Dragon Ranker and Vulture
Two who was at the late stage of the Dragon Rank, they had no chance of winning at all.
Thus, they could only follow Lucas back for the investigation obediently. Luckily, they recalled that they
had not committed any crimes in Somerland.
“Grandpa, what should we do?” Hank asked in a shaky voice.
Justin was dead, so the Chasez family was also collapsing. The people currently in the family were not
enough to support a first-rate family.
Hanley was spacing out at one side.
He had not come back to his senses until now.
How did the Chasez family, which was still in its prime, suddenly fall into this state?
The feeling of instantly falling from heaven to hell made him unable to recover for a long time.
Joseph said to the butler, “Elmer, hurry up and return all the gifts you received today. Return twice the
amount of gifts from the families below first-rate, five times for the first-rate families, and ten times for
the elite aristocratic family. You have to do it quickly.”
“Sir, we have received too many gifts this time. If we do this, the Chasez family will suffer greatly and we
will not be able to recover for many years,” the butler said.
“Now is not the time to think about this. In recent days, the Chasez family has blindly expanded and
offended many people. Now that Justin is gone, no one can deter them. If they unite, the Chasez family
will not be able to resist them. I can only hope that doing this will temporarily quell their anger.”
“Yes, Sir. I’ll do it now.”
After speaking, the butler quickly left the villa.
Chapter 369
“Grandpa, w-what should we do? Uncle is gone so David will definitely not let us off the hook!” Hank
asked in a trembling voice.
When Hanley heard David’s name, he also came back to his senses and asked anxiously,” Grandpa,
David will definitely come back to seek revenge on us this time, what should we do? You have to save
us.”
“You two should go pack your things. I’ll get you out of Somerland right away,” Joseph said.
“Oh! Okay… Okay!” The two brothers replied quickly.
“But this time we can’t use our ordinary route. I will find a way to send you to the border of Somerland
and you will go through the old-growth forest to get to the other side.”
“Huh? Why?” Hank asked.
“David is a member of Falcon. With Falcon’s intelligence network throughout Somerland, you will
definitely be detected if you follow the ordinary route. Even if you flee abroad, he can still chase after
you. Also, there are magnetic fields interfering in the old-growth forest so even planes don’t dare to
enter it. Hence, it’ll be safer to leave through there.”
“But… But the old-growth forest is so big, can we really walk through it?”
“You are already at the first-class peak level and you are about to enter Tiger Rank. Hanley is also at the
second-class peak level. Didn’t you always say you can’t break through it? This is an opportunity for the
two of you to pass through the old-growth forest, and it’s possible you’ll b e able to go further if you
manage to get through the forest. It will also be good for you in the future,” Joseph said.
“Grandpa, but…”
“No buts! If you don’t do this, you can only wait until David shows up at your door. When that happens,
no one will be able to save you.”.
“Alright, let’s go!”
“You don’t have to worry. When you get to the other side, I will prepare a lot of money for you. Then,
you can live well in any place you want. When this wave passes, I will find a way to bring you back.”
Joseph sighed inwardly as he watched the brothers frantically leaving.
He knew that this time it would be difficult for the Chasez family to cross this hurdle.
Hank was too radical and offended too many people during this time. He even offended the Warner
family which was an elite aristocratic family.
Joseph could have stopped it, but he did not expect his son Justin to be killed suddenly.
As long as Justin was at Dark Cape, the Chasez family would be fine.
What a pity…
He just hoped that the two brothers could keep the family name alive and return to Somerland one day
in the future.
Joseph got up and left the villa.
He still had a lot to do.
In addition to his eldest son, the father of Hank and Hanley who only knew to fool around outside, he
still had three daughters.
He needed to settle them down and try to distance them from the Chasez family so that they could live
a good life. It would be best if they could also leave Capital City.
At this moment, Joseph suddenly seemed ten years older.
The Chasez family, which he barely kept afloat, was finally in a desperate situation because of Justin’s
death.
At night.
After several transfers, Hank and Hanley were finally transported by truck to the old-growth forest on
the border of Somerland.
As long as they could get past this forest, they could reach a medium-sized country on the opposite side.
They would not get to Falconia if they started from here.
Since the distance here was shorter, they decided to walk there.
They each had a backpack strapped to their backs.
There was a simple sleeping bag and some food inside the backpacks.
It would take at least half a month to walk out from this point. Although there were many beasts in the
old-growth forest, they were not a threat to Hank, who was about to break through the Tiger Rank. The
only thing they needed to pay attention to was not to be bitten by venomous snakes and insects. This
would be rather troublesome.
With the help of the moonlight, the two stepped into the dark old-growth forest.
After walking a few hundred meters forward, they found flat ground and planned to rest here for a night
before setting off during the day.
It was extremely dark at night in the old-growth forest.
Even though the moon in the sky was big, round, and bright, it was blocked by the lush vegetation and
the moonlight could not pierce through at all.
To avoid being attacked by beasts while sleeping at night, the two took turns to keep watch.
The night passed quickly.
Early the next morning.
The brothers continued moving.
After two days in a row, the tension between the two of them gradually relaxed.
Although they had to stay away from home, they were okay with it as long as they could survive.
When they recalled the feeling of being on the verge of death when they met David about a month ago,
the scene played vividly in their minds.
They had no room for resistance in front of David at all.
Besides, even if they went abroad, they would still live a good life. Before leaving, Joseph gave them a
bank card which contained a huge amount of money. It would be enough for them to spend for the rest
of their lives without worries.
“Hank, do you think we will ever have a chance to go back to Somerland?” Hanley asked as he walked.
“Of course, we can. I believe Grandpa will handle the matter well, but definitely not anytime soon. We
need to wait for this fiasco to pass,” Hank replied.
“How long will that take?”.
“How would I know? It’s all your fault, you bastard! If you hadn’t offended David, why would we need to
leave the country?” Hank scolded.
“How was I supposed to know that David was so skilled? He’s just an exchange student from SRU, and
even if we stayed home, we’d still suffer. So, I thought it was better to come out guns blazing lest we
became laughing stocks.”
“I told you a long time ago to not only think about women every day because they would sooner or later
be the end of you.”
“Celia is different from other women! If only my uncle was fine, then even if I forced myself o n Celia, I’d
still be fine too! Why couldn’t Uncle last for a few more days?” Hanley said with some regret.
He was about to go and abduct Celia from her house after the party his family hosted. However, his
Uncle Justin got into trouble while they were at the party.
‘Why are you still thinking about Celia right now? Are you nuts?”
“I’ll not give up if I don’t get my hands on Celia!”
“You…”
Before Hank could finish speaking, someone finished his sentence for him.
“You’ll never get the chance in this lifetime anymore.”
Goosebumps immediately appeared on the brothers’ arms.
“Who’s that?”
“Who’s talking?”

Chapter 370

“Long time no see, Chasez brothers!”


David suddenly appeared in front of the two of them. “David!”
The Chasez brothers exclaimed at the same time.
“W-Why are you here?”
“If you guys can be here, why can’t I?” David asked with a grin. However, his smile gave the Chasez
brothers chills all over their bodies. It felt like the bone piercing cold in the winter.
“Impossible! We were so secretive! It’s impossible that you found out!”
“Secretive? That’s just what you think. You were saved by someone last time, but do you think someone
will save you this time?”
“David, w-what do you want to do? Let me tell you, my uncle just got hurt and ran away. If you dare to
touch us, he will definitely seek revenge against you,” Hank said nervously.
He wanted to use Justin’s reputation to seare David away.
“Oh? Justin’s just hurt? Why didn’t I know that?” David asked, pretending to be puzzled.
“There are a lot of things you don’t know. We are going to meet my uncle. He is already on his way to
pick us up. If you don’t leave, you won’t be able to walk away when my uncle arrives. M y uncle is the
number one in Dragon Rank.” Hank felt that this was working so he quickly added.
“Hahaha…” David could not hold back his laughter anymore.
“W-What are you laughing at? You better leave soon, as my uncle is arriving soon!”
“I’m laughing at you two for trying to threaten me with Justin while you’re on the brink of death. How
ridiculous!”
“W-What’s so ridiculous No matter how good you are, you are no match for my uncle!”
“Aren’t you curious why Justin died? He’s been in Dark Cape for so many years, but why did he die
suddenly after you offended me?” David asked suddenly.
The Chasez brothers stared at David in horror when they heard what he said.
“No… It’s impossible! My uncle is number one in Dragon Rank! You can’t kill him! That’s impossible!
Absolutely impossible!” Hank cried in horror.
“You… You… You…”
Hanley was also looking at David in horror. He had been stammering for a long while, but he could not
utter a single word.
“Impossible? I’ll show you whether it’s possible!”
After David said that, his body shifted and he went in front of the Chasez brothers in an instant. He
reached out his hands quickly and grabbed both of their necks.
Hank and Hanley tried to pry David’s hands off, but they found that no matter how much force they
exerted, David’s grip would not budge.
After David grabbed their necks, his body slowly lifted into the air.
One meter…
Two meters…
Five meters…
Ten meters…
Twenty meters…
After David grabbed the brothers’ necks, they felt their bodies rising and they thought that David had
lifted them.
However, after a while, they realized that their bodies were still rising, and only then did they realize
that David was holding them up with his hands as he rose into the air.
How was this possible?
Only a legendary master that went beyond the peak of Dragon Rank could do that, right?
Was David telling the truth?
Did he really kill Uncle Justin?
While the brothers were shocked, they were also feeling infinite remorse.
They killed the biggest supporter of the Chasez family, Uncle Justin.
If Joseph knew this, who knew if he would have directly shot these two imbeciles.
If they did not offend David, Justin would not have died.
The Chasez family could still rely on this powerful figure to continue to grow. Soon, they would have
become one of the elite aristocratic families.
After this, he, Hank Chasez, would be ahead of a lot of his peers and become the head of an elite
aristocratic family in Capital City.
Even T-man Stan could not compare to him.
At this moment, if Hank could move, he figured that he might have killed his younger brother.
Everything was his fault.
Moreover, the root of all this was a woman.
Hanley ruined the entire Chasez family for one woman.
Even his Uncle Justin, who was number one in Dragon Rank, was dead because he had been implicated
by Hanley
At this moment, if Hanley had the choice, he would never provoke Celia again even though she was
indeed beautiful, pure, and exactly the type he liked.
What was a woman compared to his life?
If he did not provoke Celia, he would still be the second son of the Chasez family.
The Chasez family would continue to develop with Justin as their support.
His status would continue to rise, and he could find ten women or even a hundred women.
He would have all the women he wanted.
However, it was too late.
There was no medicine for remorse in this world.
Just like David said, they would need to be prepared to suffer the consequences of what they had done.
“Guys, when you see Justin in hell, tell him the person who killed him was me, David Lidell, and the main
culprits are his two nephews.”
After David finished talking, he did not give any time for the Chasez brothers to react before h e exerted
some force on his hands.
Crack!
Crack!
Hanley and Hank’s necks were snapped.
David loosened his grip and their corpses fell from a height of more than 20 meters.
A few seconds later…
Thud!
Thud!
The sounds of them falling to the ground could be heard.
Meanwhile, David flew in the direction of Somerland.
He could hover in the air and fly for a few moments after he went beyond the peak Dragon Rank.
However, since it was only a short period, David needed to land so he could rest very soon after.
He heard that after he took another step forward, he would be able to soar in the sky.

Chapter 371

The Chasez brothers died so silently that very few people knew about it. Only Falcon and some of the
people in the Special Task Force knew.
By the time David returned to Capital City from Dark Cape, the Chasez brothers had already left, then he
used Falcon and the Special Task Force to locate where the two had gone before chasing them all the
way there.
Joseph thought his two grandsons had left Somerland.
Although he was very cautious, he still underestimated Falcon’s intelligence network, not to mention
the help of the Special Task Force. The intelligence networks of these two organizations combined
almost completely enveloped the entire country.
David returned to Capital City after killing the Chasez brothers and called Lucas, trying to use Falcon to
uproot the Chasez family.
David had never liked this kind of family that would take the side of the evil-doer.
However, Lucas said he did not need to do that anymore.
The Chasez family was now a target of scorn. Not only were they forced to give up the industries they
expanded this month, but even the family’s original core industries had been devoured by other major
families.
The most ruthless among them was the Warner family, who had always shared a good relationship with
the Chasez family.
It was just that Hank was arrogant, conceited, and unbridled after learning that Justin was supporting
their family and had offended too many people in the process.
Although he became the second T-man of the T Faction, none of the high-level members of the T Faction
obeyed him.
Now that Justin was dead, it was only natural that everyone would take advantage of them.
The Chasez family began to decline rapidly, and the two heirs paid the price for their actions.
Yet, no one knew that David was the instigator behind all this.
With the exception of Paul and Blue Enchantress, whom he brought back, no one knew that he was the
man named Silver Face who killed Justin.
Although David thought he had done this flawlessly, there were still people suspecting him.
After Lucas talked to David on the phone, an idea flashed across his head.
He thought this was too coincidental.
Justin occupied Dark Cape for nearly ten years and navigated the two empires with ease without any
problems. Why was Justin killed suddenly after the Chasez family offended David? Furthermore, the
person who killed him was also wearing a mask.
He told David about Justin, and he also said that as long as Justin was occupying Dark Cape, the Chasez
family would be protected by Somerland because, in this special period, Somerland did not want any
troubles arising.
It did not take long for David to return to South River Province. As for what he did when he was back
home, no one knew. Plus, no one even knew where he went.
Days later, Dark Cape was breached, and Justin died.
According to their investigation, Red Flame Mercenaries was formed last month.
Exactly not long after he stopped David from killing the Chasez brothers. If David did all of this, then the
motives and timing would be exactly right.
The only thing that did not match up was that Justin was number one figure in Dragon Rank and the man
named Silver Face who killed him surpassed the Dragon Rank.
David’s strength, judging from the last time he attacked Lucas, should have just entered the late stage of
the Drank Rank, which was still far from a peak Dragon Ranker.
Thus, it was impossible for David to be Silver Face, who had killed Justin, unless he hid his true strength.
‘However, is this possible?
‘How old is David?
‘Yet, if this is true…’
When Lucas thought about this, he was astonished.
David was only 22 and his strength was beyond the Dragon Rank, and he had taken that legendary small
step.
This was indeed a little unbelievable.
Hence, Lucas decided to properly look into Red Flame Mercenaries.

Chapter 372
If David was Silver Face, then the person who went to the Chaos Land to form Red Flame in the early
stage must be someone he trusted very much.
Hence, he should start with the original organizer of Red Flame.
This was very important to Somerland’s future.
However, it also needed to be done in secrecy.
David did not know that Paul was the key to revealing his identity.
However, it did not matter if he was exposed to Somerland as it could better reflect David’s
value.
However, Falconia could not know about this yet, at least not until David had suddenly reached the next
level and Dark Cape had not been turned into a war fortress by David. Otherwise, Red Flame would be in
danger.
There was also the possibility of prematurely triggering a war between the two empires.
What David needed to do next was to continue spending money and improving his strength.
At this moment, he had returned to the luxurious suite of the Starry Night Hotel in Capital City.
Meanwhile, Blue Enchantress was sent by him to protect Celia.
Looking at the more than 500 lavish points he accumulated in more than a week, David was a little
speechless.
‘When will it reach 10 thousand points if it’s growing at such a slow rate?’
He did not dare to reveal his identity when he was not strong enough.
He also hoped that one day, when he became stronger, he would reveal his identity and shock
everyone.
No matter what family they came from, as long as they provoked David, he would directly destroy them.
There would be no need to formulate plans and schemes while considering various other factors.
However, for now, he should first think about how to get more lavish points.
Right now, he mainly had his teams in Springfield and Capital City helping him spend money. However,
this was obviously not fast enough.
Fortunately, after Dark Cape stopped taking checkpoint taxes, it still needed to purchase various
advanced weapons and equipment, which would also need a lot of money.
‘I wonder when I can reach 10 thousand lavish points?’
Two weeks ago, Oliver, the dean of South River University, had brought Amelia and the other three
students back to campus. Howard was so scared of David that he left the country and he probably would
not dare to come back in a short time.
David continued to ask for leave because of the matter with the Chasez family and did not follow them
back.
At the same time, Oliver just told David that he must go back to class next semester.
The holiday was coming soon, so David was planning to go to Celia’s house tomorrow and tell them the
truth. He was also a person of status now, so his mother-in-law could not look down on him. After this,
he planned to return to South River Province.
The high school class reunion had been arranged in the group chat and it would be hosted after the
holiday.
Frankly speaking, if there was a university reunion in the future, David would definitely not go.
This was because he felt that he had no relationship with his classmates in university. Everyone was too
realistic. Except for his roommates in the dormitory, David hardly communicated with others. Of course,
other classmates would not talk to a poor guy like him either.
However, he could still go to the high school class reunion. At that time, nobody really cared much about
things like status as much, and they would not be as snobbish as they would be in university.
Everyone had a good relationship in high school.
David was delivering food part-time in high school and nobody looked down on him. Better still, they
would occasionally also give him business.
During college, his classmates would despise him and sneer at him.
So David would still value his friendship with his classmates in high school.
He would go look around during the gathering and try to help those in need. He needed manpower and
he did not lack money anyway.

Chapter 373
East League International was making steady progress under Pearl’s leadership, but it was nowhere
close to David’s goal.
He wanted to be the man who could control the global economy, so it was not enough to develop
domestically, and he had to send some people to develop abroad.
With unlimited financial support, he was not afraid that he would mess up because there was n o issue
of him breaking the capital chain.
After thinking about it, David decided to take the time to visit Springfield and get Pearl’s opinion.
It was undoubtedly the best choice to have Pearl go abroad. After all, she graduated from a famous
university and was someone he could trust, but he still needed to ask her. If she did not want to go, he
would ask someone else.
The next day, David drove to Celia’s house, just in time to see Mindy going out.
Mindy glanced at the G-Wagon that David drove and did not ask anything.
She just said to David, “David, if you’re free, you can just stay here. My husband and I have something to
tell you when we come back at night.”
“Okay, Mrs. Young, then go ahead and take care of your business. I’ll wait for you,” David said.
Mindy left home. Right now, she had a lot to deal with.
During this time, the two of them went through the most tortuous and bizarre stages of their lives.
First, since her daughter refused to date the heir of the Chasez family, she was targeted by a big family
like the Chasez family. Both her career and her husband’s work were hit hard.
When they were preparing their family to leave Capital City to avoid being targeted, the Chasez family
suddenly stopped beating down on their family.
She thought that all the hardships would be worth it, but who knew that within a few days, the news
that the Chasez family was relying on someone powerful made all their partners dare not cooperate
with them anymore. Plus, her husband’s superior was also afraid of offending the Chasez family and
decided to dismiss him. Therefore, the couple was in a dilemma again.
A few days ago, she heard about the news that the Chasez family was completely destroyed. Then, her
company was prospering because of the support of the big sponsor of East League International, and her
husband was immediately rehired and obtained the position he always dreamed of.
It could be said that after this catastrophe, their family really began to take off.
David parked the car and entered the villa.
Celia was sitting on the sofa watching television.
When she saw David walking in, she jumped up from the sofa excitedly. “David, you’re finally here! Let’s
go shopping! I’ve been very obedient and I haven’t gone out this entire time. I’m going to go insane
soon,” Celia said happily.
“Okay, I’ll go out with you, but we have to come back early. Your mother has something to tell me,”
David said with a grin,
“Then let’s go now. Give me a second, I’ll go up and change.”
After Celia finished speaking, she ran upstairs wearing her slippers.
Soon, Celia changed into a set of refreshing and comfortable sportswear and walked downstairs. Then,
the two went out together.
They only returned home in the evening.
By this time, Mindy and Jon had both returned.
After they had dinner, the entire family sat in the living room.
David knew Mindy had something to tell him, so he was not in a rush to go back. He also had something
to tell Celia and her family.
“David, you’re going on break soon, right?” Mindy asked.
“Yes, Mrs. Young. I think it’s in a few days time,” David answered.
“Since you’re on break, don’t go back to South River Province. Stay in Capital City and I’ll get you
something to do. At the same time, I’ll bring you out to experience different aspects of society,” Mindy
said.
She had discussed this with her husband. Since their family crisis was resolved, they should plan their
future properly.
Their daughter Celia had chosen David, so they should arrange for something for David to do during this
break to start cultivating him sooner.

Chapter 374
After this incident, Mindy was also a little physically and mentally exhausted. If she trained David early
and handed the company to the young couple, she would be able to enjoy life earlier.
“Huh? Um, Mrs. Young, I have plans for when I go back,” David said.
“What is it?”
“Um… My high school classmates organized a gathering this holiday and we haven’t seen each other for
three years, so I want to go back and join them.”
“What’s so good about a high school gathering? David, since you are already with Celia, you will be
staying in Capital City in the future. You will gradually distance yourself from your high school friends
from that small county in the future. You’re in a different circle than them. Just like that Benz Celia
secretly bought for you. It cost several million, so do you have any of those in your small county?” Mindy
asked.
“Mom, I didn’t buy that car for David!” Celia interrupted at one side.
Although she was also curious about where David got the money to buy such a good car, she would not
ask. She knew that David would tell her when it was time. If not, she would get a bad reaction from
David.
“Shut up. Do you think I don’t know that you youngsters value face the most? I don’t want to criticize
you but a few million is nothing for our family. Furthermore, sooner or later, my company will fall into
your hands, but since you’re young, you have to work hard. Don’t just think about peacocking all day
long,” Mindy lectured.
Jon looked at the newspaper and almost burst out laughing.
“The cheek of her to lecture the kids.
‘She is much older and she’s more competitive than anyone else.
‘She’s not even ashamed of saying this.’
However, he could only say this in his heart, he did not dare say it in front of Mindy.
Otherwise, he would be poking a hornet’s nest.
“Mom… I really didn’t…”
Before Celia could speak, she was stopped by a look from Mindy.
David could not hold it anymore even when he was just listening to this at one side.
‘What’s going on?
‘Does she think that I’m someone who wants to depend on a woman?
‘What a joke!
‘I’m the richest man in the world now and my strength is beyond the Dragon Rank.
‘If I have a friendly duel with Lucas and the others now, I’ll be able to defeat him in seconds!’
“Um… Mrs. Young, I actually…”
Before David could finish, Mindy interrupted him, “David, I know you youngsters have very big egos.
However, you have to think about your current situation. When you take over my company with Celia in
the future, I won’t care what kind of car you buy. However, you’re still students now so try not to drive
such a good car to campus.”
Mindy was only saying this because she was worried that David would attract a lot of attention from
other girls.
David’s looks and temperament were very outstanding. If he drove such a good car to campus, he would
surely be the most popular person among the girls.
She was sure that her daughter bought that car for David. If not, how could a university from a small
county afford a car that cost millions?
Plus, she did not care about the money. She was only warning that David was someone from a county
and he could only drive such a good car and stay in such a good house because he was with Celia.
She wanted David to always remember this. If not, would David be able to hold himself back when he
faced all those women in society when he took over the company?
Even though she was confident in her daughter, men nowadays would not appreciate things that came
too easy.
Besides, most of the successful men she got into contact with had several mistresses, but their wives
had no idea. Or even if they knew, they would have one eye closed because they did not want it to
affect their family.
She did not want her daughter to be wronged like that.

Chapter 375
“Mrs. Young, actually, I want to tell you…”
“Alright, I know what you want to say, but I’m a little tired now and I’ve been busy these few days. Let’s
talk about it next time we have a chance. It’s settled then, come over and be my assistant after your
break. I will show you the world and expand your horizons.”
With that Mindy got up and went upstairs to rest.
David sat in the same place and was a little stunned.
‘What kind of woman is this?
She’s too overbearing!
She didn’t even let me finish.
‘H-How did Celia and her dad live with such a woman for so many years?
‘Especially Mr. Young.’
David glanced at Jon.
He noticed that Jon was already used to this.
David took another look at Celia.
She was looking at David apologetically.
‘Alright.
Originally, I wanted to tell them the truth today, but I failed again. So even if you find out in the future,
don’t say that I deliberately hid it from you. You didn’t even give me a chance to speak at that moment.’
“David, don’t mind her, that’s how she is. She decides everything and it’s hard for others to change her
mind, just get used to it. Don’t take what she said to your heart, in truth, she’s not evil. It’s all for your
own good,” Jon defended Mindy.
When David saw Jon behaving this way, he figured that Jon might have gotten used to this a long time
ago.
Only a good-natured person like Jon could live with Mindy for decades.
If it was other people, they might have gotten a divorce a long time ago
However, luckily Celia did not inherit her mother’s bad temper. If not, he did not know how such an
obedient and cute girl would turn out.
“It’s fine. Mr. Young, I don’t mind. I know she’s doing this for my own good. It’s late now, so i
f there’s nothing else, I’ll head back,” David said.
“Go ahead. Drive safe.”
“I’ll leave now. Mr. Young, Celia, goodnight.”
“Goodnight.”
“Goodnight.”
David left.
“Dad,” Celia called out.
“Alright, it’s good enough that your mother didn’t force you two apart. What else do you want?” Jon
asked.
“But she can’t say those things either.”
“It’s for your own good. She’s constantly warning David to watch who he is. What are you going to do if
you get married to him and he’s always indulging in sensual pleasures out there when he takes over
your mother’s company? You’re so soft so you’ll only swallow your grievances. Your mother’s just
worried that you’ll be wronged in the future. Why didn’t you inherit your mother’s temper?” Jon asked.
“Do you think anyone would dare to court me if I did?” Celia asked him back.
“You can’t say this in front of your mother. If not, she’ll never let this drop,” Jon warned.
“But… I didn’t buy David that car.”
“No?”
“No!”
“Are you sure?”
“Yeah!”
“Did you ask him where he got the money to buy the car?”
“No. I think he wanted to tell us just now but my mom didn’t give him a chance.”
“Well, you should ask him. Your mom didn’t like the idea of you two dating at first so if David did
something illegal out there, you two would really not have a chance.”
“Huh? I’ll ask him when he comes over tomorrow. I don’t believe that he’d do something like
that.”
“Oh, you. The intelligence of a woman in love is so worrying.”
David was driving on the road.
After this, he definitely had to go back.
Not only did he have to go back to South River Province, he had to go back to Springfield.
