After Sandy left Davidâs arms, David walked to Celia and the others before saying a little apologetically,â Iâm sorry I was late. Iâm also sorry for making you worry.â
Celia, Pearl, Julia, and Amelia all shook their heads, meaning that they did not blame David.
Then, they lined up to hug David one by one as if they had discussed beforehand.
David did not reject them, so he could only let them hug him for a while passively.
The first one was Pearl.
âMiss Pearl,â David greeted her.
Pearl did not say anything. She leaned against David and listened to his heartbeat silently.
She knew she did not have much time, so she only wanted to lean against him for a while. Her sisters were still waiting.
Then, it was Selena, Julia, and Amelia.
Finally, it was Celiaâs turn.
David was not as passive as he was with the others when it was Celiaâs turn.
This was his official girlfriend, and she was the only woman whom he had a substantial sexual relationship with.
This time, David walked to Celia himself and pulled her into his arms. He whispered, âIâm sorry for making you wait so long.â
Celia buried her head in Davidâs chest and inhaled the familiar scent. She murmured, âIâll be happy as long as you come back, David. Iâll always wait for you.â
After she said that, Celia remembered something. She suddenly lifted her head and asked David, âYou said youâll take us with you this time to see the outside world. Was this true?â
âYeah, of course! I will do anything I promised you, and I wonât go back on my word,â David said with a grin.
âThank you, David!â
Celia continued to bury her face into Davidâs chest.
David held Celia just like this, and no one at the scene made a sound to disturb them.
The bounty hunters from the Royal Region were still in intense fear. They were still wondering how to gain forgiveness from the Master of the Universe so that they could continue living.
Killing someone on the spot was better than keeping them alive to watch their demise gradually approach. The latter would be more torturous.
Pearl and the others watched the two in an embrace. They would be lying if they said they were not envious While they felt envious, they were also glad.
According to logic, anyone would feel upset seeing the man they liked hugging another woman in front of them.
Perhaps they might even hate that woman.
However, the women did not hate Celia at all.
After spending so much time together, they realized not only did men like Celia, even women liked her as well.
Sometimes, they would even joke that if they were men, they would fall for someone like Celia.
Celia and David separated after a long while.
David looked at Mason and the other powerhouses and said, âOld Master Stefani, everyone, thank you for what youâve done while I was not on Earth.â
âWhat are you talking about, David? Earth is not just your home, it is also our home. Itâs our duty to protect Earth,â Mason answered.
âYeah, Mr. David! Old Master Stefani is right. Weâre just protecting our home, so you donât have to thank us. On the contrary, we should thank you. If it werenât for you, Earth would cease to exist.â
âMr. David, youâre the pride of all earthlings. Who would have thought the Master of the Milky Way would come from a small indigenous living planet on the brink of the Milky Way?â
Everyone showed smiles after the Earthâs crisis was solved. Now, they all came up to praise David.
However, they were not wrong. David was indeed the pride of all earthlings.
After they exchanged pleasantries, David turned around to look at one of the Stellar Rankers and asked, â Tell me, how did you find this place, and who instructed you?â
When David asked that question, the Stellar Ranked noticed he could speak again.
Thus, he quickly replied, âMaster of the Milky Way, weâre bounty hunters from the Royal Region who were hired by Harlan Busch, the direct descendant of the Busch family. We initially didnât know what we were supposed to do, but when we were approaching, he told us he found an indigenous living planet and he needed our help to plant a slave mark.
âWhen we were about to take action, we heard your announcement that you were banning slave marks with the punishment for disobeying being our families destruction. Therefore, we stopped immediately.
However, we have no clue as to how Harlan found out about this place. You killed him just now.â
