Chapter 1672
‘Why is he so scared of a Sovereign Ranker?’
It was too late for her to wonder about this.
The old man was only a centimeter away from grabbing Alba.
At this critical moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside Alba, and this figure was even faster than the old man.
Before the old man could react, the figure grabbed the old man’s hand that was stretched out toward Alba, preventing him from moving any closer.
The three of them looked strange in this way.
The figure that suddenly appeared was naturally David.
He could have taken action at the start, but he did not.
He deliberately waited until the last moment.
What David wanted was for Alba to see the light in the last moment of despair.
The shock caused by David taking action at the beginning would definitely not be as great as if
he acted at the last moment.
In this way, he could be regarded as Alba’s savior.
Next, Alba would try her best to help him make the trading company bigger.
As the third young mistress of Treasure Trove, Alba surely had a lot of connections.
If she helped David wholeheartedly, the effect would be immediate.
When the time came, Alba would contact her network and David would spend money in secret.
With Alba covering him, David could get a lot of lavish points without showing his face.
This was David’s goal, and it was also the most ideal situation for him.
Keeping a low profile and making a fortune in private had always been David’s favorite technique.
The old man’s hand was blocked when he was about to touch Alba, and he was also taken aback for a moment. Clearly, his brain had not registered what was going on yet.
Then, he continued to exert force, only to find that he could not move his hand.
He could not push it forward nor retract it.
After exerting all his strength, he still could not move his hand.
‘How is this possible?’
The old man panicked.
He was a beginner Sovereign Ranker.
Who could control him and render him motionless?
When he recalled the unpredictable speed of his opponent, the old man finally realized there was another master on board, and this man was stronger than himself.
He turned his gaze to the figure who had suddenly appeared.
The old man was stunned when he saw David.
The person who stopped him was a young man, and he was even stronger than himself.
How was this possible?
The expression on the old man’s face turned from panic to terror.
Alba did not close her eyes when the old man almost caught her.
Instead, she kept her eyes open as if she wanted to remember him so she could seek revenge in the future.
However, as time passed, the old man did not touch Alba.
Furthermore, the old man’s face turned from panic to terror as she stared at him.
From a cold smirk to panic, and then from panic to terror.
Alba then turned her curious gaze from the old man to the hand that was reaching out to her.
When she saw the old man’s hand, Alba saw another hand on the old man’s wrist.
There was a clear difference when the two hands were next to each other.
The skin on one of the hands was loose while the skin on the other one was tight and smooth.
The owners of the two hands were clearly not in the same age group.
Alba finally understood.
Someone had saved her.
Since David was too fast, Alba’s focus was only on the old man.
She still did not notice another person next to her.
As she looked at the smooth hand, she redirected her gaze and finally saw the owner of the hand.
What welcomed Alba was a handsome smiling face.
“Miss Fellowes, are you alright?” David asked with a grin.
