Time passed slowly.
On that day, David was sitting cross legged on his bed in the room with his eyes closed. He was practicing how to control his surging power.
Suddenly, he felt a violent shaking He opened his eyes immediately.
âWhat happened?
âDoes anyone dare to mess with one of the Central Sacred Continentâs top five trading companies?â
However, he did not use his mind power to investigate.
The situation was unknown now so it would be better to be careful.
In truth, even if David used his mind power, it would not matter if he was discovered.
After all, he was already a mid-Sovereign Ranker and there was nothing wrong with him having mind power. Thus, he would not cause a sensation.
He would be fine as long as he did not fully expose himself in front of a Saint.
Outside the merchant ship that David and Alba were on, a luxurious spaceship at least several times larger than it blocked the way.
The word âLightfootâ was engraved on the side of the luxurious spaceship.
On the Central Sacred Continent, any discerning person would know the origin of any ship named âLightfootâ.
It was the special means of transportation that only direct descendants of the Lightfoot family could use.
The Lightfoot family, like the Fellowes family, controlled one of the Central Sacred Continent topâs five trading companies.
The Fellowes family controlled Treasure Trove, while the Lightfoot family controlled Splendor.
The two trading companies were very similar in strength.
Treasure Trove ranked third among the top five trading companies, while Splendor ranked second.
The violent shaking just now was from the two ships colliding.
However, there were no casualties.
Both ships had decent defenses.
The collision just now did not even break through the defense, and the ship was unscathed.
However, the Lightfoot familyâs ship was much bigger than the Fellowes familyâs ship.
Even if it was not damaged, there was still a violent shake.
Alba frowned when she saw the Lightfoot familyâs ship.
Then, she ordered her crew to bypass the other party.
Unexpectedly, they still collided.
She knew that the other party did this on purpose.
She also guessed who was on the ship opposite her.
There was only one person in the Lightfoot family of this generation who would insistently pester Alba.
That was Cornelius Lightfoot, one of the top descendants of the Lightfoot family.
At the same time, he was also the second-in-line heir of the Lightfoot family, so he had a high status in his family.
Sure enough, not long after the two ships collided, a voice came from the Lightfoot familyâs ship.
âMiss Alba, how are you?â
âCornelius, how did you know it was me?â Alba asked in a deep voice.
She was traveling on Treasure Troveâs merchant ship which was not exclusive for the direct descendants of the Fellowes family. How did Cornelius know her exact location and even run directly into her?
âHahaha! Miss Alba, if I, Cornelius Lightfoot, didnât even have this ability, how could I be the heir to the Lightfoot family?â Cornelius said with a loud laugh.
Alba was lost in thought.
âWhat went wrong?
âIs there a spy around me who reported my whereabouts to Cornelius?
âImpossible!
âThose around me were all cultivated by the Fellowes family since childhood.
âSo how could they betray me?
âWhat the hell is going on?â
