Chapter 1671
Alba stood there motionless.
Now, she no longer has the right to act, and could only accept her fate helplessly.
She understood what would happen once she boarded Cornelius’ ship today.
Unfortunately, even if she knew, Alba had no way to change it.
She could not complete her deal with David anymore.
Once she thought about this, Alba suddenly felt extremely angry.
‘Why couldn’t he just give me a little more time?
‘I found a way to change my destiny and save my family.
‘But I was defeated by time.’
Alba could not accept this!
If only there was a little more time for her to build a good relationship with David, help David expand the firm and complete the deal, and meet David’s master, the Sacred Saint who hides in the dark of Star Kingdom, she would have the opportunity to change her and her family’s
fate.
Although her chances of success were not great, this was the only hope that Alba had after so
many years.
Now, because of that rascal Cornelius, all her plans had shattered.
A cold light flashed in Alba’s eyes as she stared fixedly at the old man approaching her rapidly.
‘It’s all their fault.”
Regardless of her family’s future and how miserable her future would be, Alba would do everything to make Cornelius pay the price after this incident.
After the old man saw the light in Alba’s eyes, he shuddered internally for some reason.
Then, he started laughing at himself.
‘She’s just the third young mistress of a family that’s about to collapse and she’s not even an heir, how much power could she have?’ 2
If he completed the task today, they might have a huge supporter behind them.
How could they be scared of a little girl at Ruler Rank?
After
recomposing himself, the old man showed a cold smirk on the corner of his lips. Then, his hands approached Alba.
As long as he caught her, got her to have a meal with Master Cornelius, and recorded it to share with the outside world, his mission would be considered a success.
The surrounding guards and maids who were sent flying could only watch the old man approach Alba. There was nothing they could do.
Their strength was too low.
The
person with the highest combat power among them was only an Immortal Ranker. How could they defeat a Sovereign Rankerer?
Cornelius also stared closely at the merchant ship in the distance, his hands were clasped tightly together.
He would be lying if he said he was not nervous.
He had been planning this for a long time.
This was related to whether he could get the support of his employer when he competed for the head of the Lightfoot family in the future.
Cornelius also had to value this.
With the support of his employer, his chances of becoming the head of the Lightfoot family would be at least 80%.
Without his employer’s support, it would be no more than 20%.
This gap was not insignificant.
That was why he took this huge gamble.
‘Judging from the speed of a Sovereign Ranker, there should be no chance for Alba to commit suicide.’
Cornelius thought silently in his heart.
Inside the control room of the Fellowes family’s merchant ship, the old man’s hand was only one meter away from Alba.
He was about to seize the famous third young mistress of the Fellowes family.
Alba also accepted her fate at this time.
There would be no miracles.
She did not understand why David still had not shownup.
‘Even if he can’t defeat the old man, he wouldn’t hide in his room, right?
‘Is he scared of a Sovereign Ranker?
‘Is he really the direct disciple of a Sacred Saint?’
Alba started questioning David in her heart.
‘Shouldn’t a young man who’s been living with a Sacred Saint be fearless of everything the first time he came out?’
