Chapter 1662
If someone like Marlee, who was from a small force from a remote area, encountered space pirates, she would be lucky to survive alive, let alone keep her cargo.
Even so, countless merchant ships set off from various remote corners of the Star Kingdom to the Central Sacred Continent every day.
It was not that they did not know the dangers along the way, but after arriving at the Central Sacred Continent, the profits they would obtain were too huge.
Generally, it would be more than ten times or even dozens of times the value of the goods.
It was enough for them to raise the strength of their family to a higher level.
As the saying went, ‘There is no reward without risk.’
Therefore, even if they knew that it would not be an easy journey, and one slip-up might cost them their lives, countless people would still choose to go.
Star Kingdom was too big.
There were countless small galaxies like Green Apollo where the Jung family was located.
Some people liked stability while some people liked to take risks and gamble.
Treasure Trove’s merchant ship traveled the entire distance without encountering any accidents.
In the blink of an eye, more than a week had passed.
They were halfway through their journey.
David had been staying in his room this entire time. He was still adapting to the physical changes brought about by his soaring strength.
Occasionally, Alba would visit him and chat with him.
Their topic always revolved around David and the master behind him.
David knew that Alba was still inquiring about his situation.
He would also make up some things along the way, either consciously or unconsciously.
In any case, David had to be firm and claim that a Sacred Saint was standing behind him.
He had to convince Alba to proceed with the next plan.
In reality, Alba already trusted David 90%.
Alba had not seen his masters with her own eyes, which resulted in this remaining 10%.
She would not believe David’s words 100% unless she met David’s master, the legendary Sacred Saint and the strongest fighter in Star Kingdom.
Only then would Alba fully believe it.
Even so, her 90% trust was enough for her to gamble on David.
Alba had no other choice if she wanted to change her destiny.
David was her last hope.
Once that man was out, she would have to marry him unconditionally unless she found a new Sacred Saint as a backer for the Fellowes family.
The most important thing was that even if Alba was married, the other party would still not spare her family.
He would slowly erode the Fellowes family’s influence and finally achieve complete control, forcing the Fellowes family to forever provide them with a steady stream of cultivation
resources.
The Fellowes family controlled one of the top five trading companies on the Central Sacred Continent, which was a huge slice of pie.
Over the years, the Fellowes family had been looking for ways to save themselves as the other party’s appetite grew.
However, this opponent was a force with a Sacred Saint.
Who would dare to stand up to them?
There were only a few Sacred Saints in Star Kingdom, and everyone had their own affiliated forcés.
Therefore, no one would nonchalantly break this balance.
However, David’s existence gave Alba hope.
A Sacred Saint hidden in the shadows.
As long as she seized this opportunity, the Fellowes family might be able to get out of their current predicament.
