It was possible that after hundreds of years, only David and Selena would be the ones among them who would still be alive.
When the time came, they could travel across the universe carefreely.
âLena is just a woman from a lowâlevel civilization, so how did she attract the recognition of such an aloof and remote Universe Enforcer like you, Celeste?â
David did not let Celesteâs words get to his head.
If Celeste wanted to take Selena away, she had to let him know why.
If not, David would not agree.
He had to be wary of other peopleâs intentions.
He could not believe someone he just met because of a few words.
Even if he got along with Amadi, David would not trust him fully.
Trust between humans needed to be built after spending time together.
Do you think Iâm lying to you?â Celeste asked.
Iâm just a little curious,â David answered.
You and Selena were born in a lowâlevel civilization while I am an aloof and remote Universe Enforcer, so why should I lie to her? As for why, I canât tell you yet. You wonât understand even if I tell you.â Iâm sorry. If you donât tell me why, I wonât let Lena go with you.â
At this moment, Amadi interrupted.
âDavid, you should agree since Ms. Celeste is now accepting disciples. You must know that countless chosen ones from good families wanted Ms. Celeste to take them as disciples, but she rejected all of them. Ms. Celeste is very wellâknown even in my hometown. This is the first time she is accepting a disciple voluntarily, so if you miss this chance, you wonât get it back.â
Amadi was nervous.
If Ms. Celeste successfully took Selena as her disciple, David might change his mind.
âAmadi, if you were me, would you hand the person closest to you to someone you just met when you still didnât understand what was going on?â
âUmâ¦â
Amadi was speechless after he heard that.
Selena smiled sweetly inside her heart when she heard David calling her his closest person.
She was relieved to let David decide for her. She believed David would make the right choice.
Even if Celeste was telling the truth, Selena still could not decide for herself.
If she left with Celeste, she would have to part with David for some time.
However, if she looked at it as a longâterm plan, this was undoubtedly the right choice.
âDavid, I am a Universe Enforcer and considered noble. How could I be as horrible as you think I am?â
Celeste asked unhappily.
âYouâve misunderstood me, Celeste. I just want to protect everyone around me. This is also the reason why I am working so hard to improve myself. If I canât even protect the ones closest to me, will it matter if Iâm in Eternal Realm or not?â
What David said touched Selena and the women around him.
As they looked at his tall figure, they were even more sure of their decision.
Celeste was speechless.
âThis punk is so annoying.â
Even though she understood why David was doing this, it didnât really matter. David did not know how to appreciate favors, and Celeste was a little annoyed by this.
âHeâs just someone at Eternal Realm from a small lowâlevel civilization, how dare he disrespect a Universe Enforcer?
âI wonder who gave him the courage to do so.
âThey who know no fear know nothing indeed.â
However, Celeste would not tell him them the truth.
The fewer people know about this, the better.
