I'm A Quadrillionaire

Chapter 116

Capital City!

Inside a quiet courtyard.

An old man and a young man were playing chess.

The old man looked like he was in his 70s or 80s.

Despite his age and a head full of silver hair, he still had a youthful-looking face and was in high spirits. He looked transcendental or ethereal, with no signs of aging.

The young man was younger, although he was at least thirty years old. Not very young, but younger, nonetheless.

"You're getting better and better at chess, Stan!" The old man said cheerfully.

"Still not as well as you, Mr. J!" Stan replied modestly.

The young man was Stan Warner, one of the Ts from Capital City's T Faction.

Stan Warner was known not only among the younger generation, but he was also famous among the older generation.

"Stan, chess is like life. You have to move when to take the proper move. When it's time to take one step forward, you take one step forward, and when it's time to take one step back, you do the same! move, you have to move. But lately, I've noticed that you've been hesitating," The old man said.

"You're right, Mr. J. I've been a bit confused lately!"

"It's because the ten-year pact that the three of you made back then is coming to a close, right? The Lovewoods' little girl is finally coming back after ten years."

"Mr. J, my brothers and I used to be super close, but we ended up having a falling out because of a girl. It was so bad that we don't talk anymore. I always wonder if I should've done things differently!"

"A damsel who's beautiful inside out and a gent of virtues are meant for each other. As the saying goes, even the king would skip his morning meetings for his fair maiden. Besides, that Lovewood girl is really quite the lady. You shouldn't worry too much about it. Just follow what your heart tells you."

"Yes, of course, Mr. J. I'll remember that!"

At that moment, Stan's phone rang.

It was Zachary calling and saying that he wanted to meet him!

Zachary had just come back to Capital City after doing some business in North River Province.

Stan had heard about what Zachary did in River City, but all of those were just rumors, and nothing was better than hearing it from Zachary himself.

Since Zachary returned from his trip to North River, Stan also wanted to know what exactly had happened to him in River City.

Seeing that the ten-year pact about Lorraine was coming to a close, of course he had to watch that powerful person that had suddenly appeared in the SCC closely.

They agreed to meet at their usual place, The Great Wall Club. The Great Wall Club was one of the top three clubs in Capital City and was a gathering place for all the famous people in Capital City, and was also T Faction's headquarters.

"Mr. J, I have something I need to do now, so I got to go. I'll visit you again next time."

"Alright, off you go! It's time for you youngsters to go after your future. There's no need to waste your time on an old man like me."

When Stan arrived at The Great Wall Club, everyone who saw him nodded at him and greeted him.

As he pushed open the private room on the top floor, he found Zachary already waiting inside. "T-man!" When Zachary saw Stan coming in, he stood up and greeted him.

"Zachary, tell me everything!" Stan told Zachary after sitting down.

"T-man, I went to North River Province for business and stopped by River City to ask Howard about Luna, and also to see her, but Charles found out about it..."

Zachary told Stan everything that happened, down to the very detail.

"Eh? Are you telling me that David has someone who can fight Mac and he himself is also extremely strong?"

"Yes! He held my sword with two fingers and shattered it with a snap of his fingers. Mac told me that even he couldn't do that! Mac suspects that he's at least at a peak Tiger Ranker, or even... higher!" Crush!

The cup in Stan's hand was crushed into pieces!

'He's a peak Tiger Ranker? Or even higher?'

Naturally, he knew what that meant!

According to Zachary, for David to have such talent that he could reach this point at twenty-something years old was incredibly rare.

If that was the case, that would mean that David was definitely the heir to the hidden aristocratic family.

Moreover, he was probably the first heir too.

'How did Clinton get such a powerful helper at the last moment of the ten-year pact?!' River City.

After David sent Jacey off to school at River City High, he went to the Golden Leaf Hotel. After that, he called Wayne and Gavin, who was in Shu City, to come back on their own.

He was not planning to go back to Shu City yet because he needed to wait for Aunt Sally to be back on her feet and go back to deal with the move. At the same time, he had to get his parents' compensation money back from Bobby as well.

'I also need to see if I can persuade Aunt Diana to move her family to River City as well.'

David had just taken a short nap in his office when he was woken up by a call.

When he picked up the phone, he immediately heard Hugh's voice.

"Dave! Have you already forgotten me?! How could you not have kept in touch with me all this while?!"

"It's not like that, Hugh! I've been quite busy lately and I haven't had any time to spare! I promise I'll visit Lake City when I find the time!" David replied.

"I know you've been busy. Everyone in the SCC knows all about your recent achievements! I didn't know you kept such deep secrets about yourself! I can't believe that you threw Zachary, one of the eight grea fighters of T Faction, out of River City pathetically," said Hugh.

He really did not expect David to be so powerful.

This was even though Bill told Hugh that David was the heir of the hidden aristocratic family when Hugh sold the Golden Leaf Hotel to David. Even so, there was a hierarchy to the heirs of the hidden aristocratic family, with some larger families having three or four heirs.

The treatment of each heir was different, from the first heir to the third heir or even the fourth heir

Initially, they thought that at most, David was a second heir, but after David showed what he was made o f, everyone was certain that the strength he possessed was definitely something only a first heir could obtain, and that he was most likely from some powerful family.

A man with a status like that was comparable to the big three SCC bosses.

He was also extremely glad that he had maintained a good relationship with David.

Now that he saw what David was capable of, he confirmed that it was indeed a wise move for him to introduce David into the SCC.

After everyone found out about what David did, he received the boss's affirmation, whichwas the final piece of the puzzle before he took over the Greenes.

"Oh, you flatter me, Hugh!" David said modestly.

"I'm not flattering you. There really aren't many people in the SCC who can stand up to Zachary, let alone drive him back to the North with his tail between his legs... Oh yeah, are you in River City now? There's someone who wants to meet you!"

"Who?" David asked.

"Come find out!"

"Sure. I'll be around River City anyway."

"I'll contact you again when we decide when to meet!"

David hung up the phone and began to ponder deeply.

Now that everyone was seeing what he was made of, he was also starting to meet some of the big names.

Even so, he felt that he was not strong enough, that he had not built enough influence yet, and that he was not powerful enough.

He knew that he had to find a way to spend more money.

'Why hasn't Miss Pearl made a move yet? She's been there for quite some time now.

'Doesn't she know how to spend money?

'Sigh!

David had never imagined that there would be a day when he would have trouble spending money!
