Chapter 1239: Chapter 1239

“Mr. Barlowe. I genuinely can‘t explain this to you. I ran into someone chasing after the Dance Fairy when I arrived at the Royal Region, and shortly after, I ran into someone chasing after Princess Astrid. I feel helpless as well. I would feel guilty if I didn‘t save them, but if I save them, I would give myself a lot of unnecessary trouble. What do you think I should have done? Who can I vent to?” David said helplessly.

“David, I‘m sorry for causing trouble to you,” Mia said apologetically behind David.

“It‘s fine. Mia, you don‘t have to apologize. Even though I initially did not want to be troubled, you helped me a lot afterward. You made many things easy for me when I arrived at the Royal Region. If not, I wouldn‘t have kept you around,” David comforted.

“David, even if I don‘t think you‘re a Sangruil Sinner, I have no choice but to be suspicious because this is related to Astrid. That‘s why I have to be vigilant about this. Tell me about your experience in detail.

You should start from the moment you started to form memories until the present to prove your innocence.” David found this difficult.

‘How should I tell him my experience? I can‘t! ‘I can‘t tell him the truth.

‘I am from an indigenous living planet, and I can‘t tell him how I got to this stage.

‘Moreover, it‘s unrealistic for me to make something up. Nimbus is not like Astrid.‘

If David made something up, it would be proven to be fake very soon. If so, he would be at a disadvantage.

Even though David was not scared of Nimbus, it would be better to avoid any potential trouble. He did not want to be stuck in a deadlock with the empire.

After all, David would side with the empire if he had to choose between the empire and those half–

human, half–beast Sangruil Sinners.

Nimbus wanted to find out David‘s background by asking this. Perhaps he had already looked into David. Since David was not from the Royal Region but an indigenous living planet, they would not find anything even if he suddenly appeared in the Royal Region. 1 This was why Nimbus asked him this.

David racked his brain, yet he could not find a suitable explanation. Therefore, he could only reject the request, “I‘m sorry, Mr. Barlowe. Everyone has secrets, and I believe you have them as well. Plus, my experience is a little special, so I can‘t tell you about it. Please stop asking me to share this.”

“How can I believe you then? Or rather, how can you prove your innocence?” Nimbus asked.

“I have already reached this stage, so what can I do if you still don‘t believe me? Moreover, I can‘t prove anything,” David spread his hands and said begrudgingly.

“David, I‘m not satisfied with your answer,” Nimbus said, his face turning dark.

“Since you‘re not satisfied, should I leave the Royal Region? I won‘t participate in the battle between you and the Sangruil Sinners. I also promise never to return to the Royal Region to see Princess Astrid.

We will never interfere with each other‘s lives ever again.”

“Do you think I will let you leave now that you‘re here and refuse to explain yourself?”

“Mr. Barlowe, please stop forcing me. I have contributed to the empire by bringing Fergus to Planet Royal for you, right? Are you now preventing me from leaving? How is that reasonable?” David said sarcastically.

The two were talking to each other liárshly now. On one side, Mia was beyond nervous. She was worried that Nimbus would kill David if he were not happy.

“David, I‘m not forcing you. The Sangruil Sinners are bearing down on us menacingly after working with the Nine–Headed Serpent Clans from the Beast Galaxy. If we‘re not careful, everyone in the Milky Way will be affected, and there will be unimaginable casualties. You must know that the Nine–Headed Serpent Clan loves to eat humans, as this can help them grow quickly. If the Sangruil Sinners gain the right to rule the Milky Way, humans will become the Nine–Headed Serpent Clan‘s food,” Nimbus explained out of the blue.

He did not know why he did this.

Logically, Nimbus should make that scoundrel David‘s life difficult since David dared to speak to him that way.

However, Nimbus‘ intuition told him it would be best not to start a conflict with David.
