The Fellowes family had money, and they were among the top three richest families in Star Kingdom.
However, they did not have a Sacred Saint, so they were faced with a life-and-death crisis.
David hoped Alba could hurry up.
The Lightfoot family was surely doing something now.
However, David had no idea how strong the people they sent this time would be.
They should not be just peak Sovereign Rankers.
Last time, two late Sovereign Rankers and so many powerhouses died without a trace.
What would a peak Sovereign Ranker do to him?
It was possible more than half of them would be partial Saints or even Saints.
âI should lay low for now before I get to True Saint Rank,â David thought to himself silently.
He could still handle a Pre-Saint, but if the Lightfoot family sent a True Saint, he would need the Fellowes family to help him.
The next morning, Alba came to David.
She said she had decided on the location for East League Trading Companyâs headquarters. There were three suitable locations and she needed David to confirm it before she bought it.
David was excited upon hearing that.
âIâm going to start spending money!â
Of course, he would not delay something so important.
âMiss Fellowes, when are we leaving?â David asked.
âIf you donât have anything to take care of now, we can leave right away. We should do this as soon as possible. If we can build the headquarters, others will believe we have the strength and then choose to work with us,â Alba answered.
âNo! No! What do I have going on? The most important thing for me right now is to develop the company and complete my masterâs task. Shall we go now?â David asked quickly.
âOf course! Weâre the only ones going this time so we can just go from the space crack. Itâll be a little slow taking the merchant ship.â
âVery good! Itâs indeed too slow to take a ship. Miss Fellowes, Iâll take you later. Saints can travel in sixth- dimensional spaces, and itâll be faster than moving through fourth or fifth-dimensional spaces.â
âThank you, Master David!â
âYouâre welcome. I need to thank you. Youâve worked hard for the company. I donât know anything, so I am not much help.â
âWhat are you saying, Master David? We still need your help. I hope you can say a few good words to your master for us â
âOf course!â
Even though David was saying that, he thought, âWhat master? I am my own master!
âItâll depend on whether you help me get to Sacred Saint Rank and then Iâll determine if I can help you out of your predicament.â
âShall we go now, Miss Fellowes?â
âOkay!â Alba replied.
âExcuse me.â
After David said that, he held Albaâs hand.
This was the first time he brought someone into a high-dimensional space, so David did not know whether any accidents would occur.
Therefore, it would be better to hold Albaâs hand and keep her close to him.
This way, even if something were to happen, David could handle it immediately and protect Albaâs safety.
Under normal circumstances, Alba could only travel in fourth-dimensional spaces based on her strength.
When David held her hand, Albaâs peerless face under her veil turned red.
This was the first time she held hands with someone the same age as her.
Strangely enough, Alba did not feel disgusted.
After they finished their discussion, they got ready to head to Large Trade Zone 7 at the Central Sacred Continentâs West End.
That was where David rested the moment he came to the Central Sacred Continent and where East League Trading Companyâs headquarters would be.
As David held Alba and was about to tear the space apart, he stopped suddenly and stared straight ahead.
With his mind power, he sensed the space in front of him shifting.
Alba noticed something wrong with David, so she asked curiously, âWhatâs wrong, Master David?â
David did not answer Alba.
Instead, he said loudly, âWho is it? Please show yourself.â
