âYou⦠Fine! Iâll do as you say!â
The Spirit Cage.
Amber City, one of the eight main cities.
David and Arian were eating and drinking.
Arian suddenly said, âMaster David, since you regard me as a friend, I need to tell you something in advance.â
âArian, you can tell me.â
âThe two people you killed today are not simple persons. The manâs name is Perry Campbell and heâs the direct descendant of the Campbell family, one of the three major families in Amber City. And the fat woman is even more unique. Although I donât know her very well, her family*s definitely not weaker than the Campbell family. Now that youâve killed the two of them, what you will face is the joint pressure of the two major families,â Arian said seriously.
âI see. Arian, donât worry. If I dare kill them, I have enough confidence to face the forces behind them too. So, donât worry about that,â David replied indifferently.
âButâ¦â
Arian wanted to say something more so that David could be more vigilant.
Unexpectedly, David interrupted him immediately.
âArian, letâs drink first. I know how to deal with this and I am capable of dealing with the pressure from the two families. If you donât believe me, just watch.â
âAlright then! Since you are so confident, I wonât say anymore, Master David.â After speaking, Arian picked up his glass and downed it.
âArian, donât call me Master David, it sounds too weird. You are a few years older than me, just call me by my name.â
âI-I donât think thatâs a good idea.â Arian hesitated.
The power behind David was at least not weaker than the Campbell and Marche families.
Moreover, he was also an heir cultivated in secret, so he was likely to be in charge of this top force in the future.
Clearly, his status was much higher than Arianâs.
So Arian genuinely could not call him by his name because it would be inappropriate in terms of status.
âWhatâs wrong with this? This is how I make friends. I will address the people I like as my brother no matter what strength or status the other party is. If I donât like them, I donât care who they are, I wonât even look at them even if they have a sky-high background. Unless, of course, you donât consider me a friend, Arian.â
âSince youâve said so, I will look a little ignorant if I am still so argumentative, Master David,â Arian smiled forcefully.
âThen why are you still calling me that?â
âI-I mean David!â
âThatâs more like it. Weâre both men so why are you so coy, like a woman?â
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Outside Jumbo Court, Egan had arrived with a group of powerhouses from the Campbell family.
As he was looking at Jumbo Courtâs sign, Egan asked aloud, âIs this the place?â
âYes, Lord Egan, this is Jumbo Court. David who killed Master Perry and Miss Fabiola of the Marche family is inside,â a confidant next to Egan came forward and replied.
âWait outside, Iâll go in and meet David,â Egan ordered.
âLord Egan, I think we should go with you.:
âWhat? Do you think Iâm not Davidâs match? Do you think Iâll suffer a disadvantage?â
âNo, my Lord. Itâs just that according to the news from the people at the scene, there is a powerhouse protecting David in secret. The energy that person emitted immobilized everyone present. Even the guards of Master Perry and Miss Fabiola of the Marche family didnât have the slightest resistance and could only watch their masters being killed.â
âReally? Are they a man or a woman? How old are they?â Egan asked curiously.
Just the energy emitted by that person alone could immobilize the guards of the Campbell and Marche families.
It seemed that Egan should not underestimate this person.
Perhaps they were not much weaker than him.
âThis is the problem. Even though they emitted some of their energy and intimidated everyone, they never showed and no one knew who they were. They only knew that if they dared to move, they would die instantly.â
âItâs fine. Just wait outside. I donât believe that anyone in Amber City can hurt me.â
After Egan said that, he strode confidently into Jumbo Court, leaving the powerhouses outside.
