I Am Super Rich
David used his hands to gently hold Pearl's head which was shaking from side to side. He wiped the tears from her face, leaned over to kiss her on the forehead softly, and said gently," Miss Pearl, don't be afraid. Trust me, everything will be fine with me here. No one in this world can force you to do things you don't want to. No one."
Pearl was stunned.
This was the first time David had taken the initiative to kiss her.
She felt so happy at this moment.
Furthermore, David's words seemed to have magic power as they gradually calmed her extremely nervous heart.
She had so many things to say to him, but in the end, she only said one sentence.
"Okay, I believe in you."
David let go of Pearl, stood up straight, and turned to look at Walt and the gang.
Walt instantly felt cold all over.
The feeling of looking at death in the face he felt just now once again reappeared.
Even the two people who were halfway to God Rank behind him felt that something was wrong.
David had not shown his strength yet.
The only thing that radiated right now was his own murderous intent, and this alone made the three of them feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
Who was this young man?
He was so scary!
"Tell me, how would you like to die?"
David's voice was like hell, cold and biting.
"W- What are you trying to do? L-Let me tell you, I'm from the greatest family in the world. I am Walt Mosley, the second-in-line heir of the Mosley family. If you dare to touch me, what you will bear is the wrath of the entire Mosley family, no matter who you are! You and everything around you will be mercilessly destroyed by the Mosley family!" Walt said in a trembling voice.
He was also terrified at this time.
David's murderous intent was too powerful.
He felt as if he was walking on the tip of a knife, and he would face the threat of death if he was not careful.
Although the family behind Walt was very powerful, this place was not within the range of influence of his family.
He was the second-in-line heir of the Mosley family, so if he died here, his family would suffer a big loss.
If he had known earlier, he would ask his family to send two God Rank guardians to follow him.
Now, he just hoped that the Mosley family's reputation could stop the person in front of him.
Walt had a high status in the Mosley family.
Being the second-in-line heir was no joke.
This title could be ranked in the top ten among the huge structure of the Mosley family.
It could also be said that he was someone who held a place in the world ranking.
It was just that when he was faced with death, he seemed to be no different from ordinary people. No matter how high his status, he would still fear death.
David was taken aback when he heard what Walt said.
‘The Mosley family?
‘Isn't that one of the three ancient families that control Falconia?
‘It is also one of the five major forces in the world.
‘This is a family with a peak God Ranker.
‘No wonder Pearl would rather choose to sacrifice herself than tell me.
‘They are powerful indeed, but unfortunately, they ran into me.
‘Well then… let's start by baring my fangs at the Mosley family.'
Pearl grabbed David's hand nervously.
David grabbed Pearl's hand, smiled at her, and motioned her not to be nervous as he would handle this.
"The Mosley family? It is indeed powerful, as you guys are one of the five top major forces in the world with peak God Rankers. No wonder Miss Pearl is so afraid of you such that she'd let you do whatever you want without letting me know. Unfortunately, you're in Somerland and this is not a place where you can act recklessly. You shouldn't have continued to harass and follow Miss Pearl after she came back to Somerland. If you think that being a direct descendant of the Mosley family can scare me, you're going to be disappointed. Do you have any last words? I'll see if I can tell the Mosley family on your behalf," David said. So what if he was from the Mosley family? So what if he was from one of the five top major forces of the world?"
David was not afraid at all.
Wasn't the Mosley family just relying on that peak God Ranker?
He was also a peak God Ranker.
Whatever the consequences would be, he had to kill Walt. It just so happened that he had not fought with any peak God Rankers yet. Worse came to worst, he would just
fight them to test the limits of his combat power.
"W-Who are you?" Walt asked in a trembling voice.
How dare someone say such a thing after learning his identity? This was out of his expectation. Not only did David know the Mosley family, but he also knew that there were five top major forces in the world with peak God Rankers.
Obviously, his status was not that low.
‘Could he be the descendant of the Somerland higher-ups?
‘What should I do?'
Walt was thinking about how to get out of this.
He swore that as long as he could go back alive this time, in the future, he would never step out of the Mosley family's range of influence so freely again. Even if he wanted to come out, he would bring a few more God Rank guardians with him.
"You don't need to know who I am. You just need to know that if you offend Miss Pearl, I will kill you even if you escape back to the Mosley family."
"I-If that's the case, do you dare to let me go? You can come and kill me when I return to my family. If you really dare to come, I will not run away and I will even wait for you to kill me!" Walt exclaimed.
Right now, he just wanted to get out of here and escape from Somerland. As long as he returned to his family, he would be safe.
"Are you provoking me?" David asked with a half-smile.
"So what if I am? It's not like you're scared of my family. In that case, just let me go back. If you have the guts to do so, I'll respect you for being a man." Walt threw caution to the wind and continued to provoke David.
"If you didn't offend Miss Pearl, you would have successfully provoked me. Too bad, she's one of the most important women to me. You shouldn't spy on her, let alone force her. If I let you go today, how will I vent my anger?" David said as he bent down and hugged Pearl.
Knowing David's intentions, Pearl reached out to wrap her arms around David's neck and buried her head in his chest.
At this moment, she felt as if she was experiencing the happiest moment of her life.
Even if this happiness was short-lived, she would be content for the rest of her life.
David stood up with Pearl in his arms.
The two people halfway to God Rank also took a step forward at this time, stepping in front of Walt to block him.
"Miss Pearl, close your eyes and don't open them no matter what you hear," David whispered, lowering his head next to Pearl's ear.
"Okay," Pearl replied, blushing.
Then, she pressed her head firmly against David's chest and closed her eyes. Even if David planned to jump down with her now, she had no regrets.
"Are you guys…. ready to bear my wrath?" David lifted his head to say word by word to Walt and the gang.
David's strength increased by one level with every word he said. When he finished his sentence, the air in the room felt heavy.
Walt and the gang widened their eyes and looked at David in horror.
At this second, they felt a pressure that they never experienced before. They felt as if there was a weight of hundreds of millions of pounds on them. They could not move their bodies in the slightest. Their hearts started beating quicker and quicker.
It was getting harder for them to breathe as well.
It was as if there was a pair of huge hands grabbing their hearts. Walt was in the lowest realm, so he was almost scared to death by this horrifying strength.
Pungent yellow liquid started flowing down his pants.
David lifted his right foot while holding Pearl and took a step forward.
Boom!
A loud bang could be heard. The whole room looked as if a bomb had gone off in it.
Smash, smash, smash, smash!
The television, the bed, the seat, the wardrobe, and the windows all fell apart in an instant.
Walt and the other two were dazed by the loud noise.
Before they could react, their bodies had been knocked backward by the huge impact until they hit the wall.
Splurt!
Blood spurted out.
The three of them felt as if their whole body had fallen apart.
They could not exert any strength at all. Pearl closed her eyes tightly as she leaned against David's chest. She heard the sound, but she still did not open her eyes. It was because David just told her not to open them no matter what she heard. David walked slowly to Walt with Pearl in his arms.
At this point, the three of them were lying on the ground and could not speak. There were multiple fractures all over their bodies. Their internal organs were injured by the shock and there was also countless trauma to their bodies.
Pain swept through their bodies, but they were still conscious.
Thus, they could only let out some faint moans.
"Do you know why I didn't kill you right away? It's not because I'm afraid of the Mosley family behind you, but that it'd be too easy for you to die like this. I'll invite you to watch a big show soon. Live well."
After David finished speaking, he took Pearl and left the room. When he walked into the corridor, the aftermath team was already waiting outside.
These people were chosen from the Special Task Force and Falcon.
Their job was to deal with the aftermath of the discipline team.
They were not strong enough to be front-liners so they could only deal with the aftermath.
"Captain!"
One of the staff from the aftermath department of the discipline team called out respectfully.
"Bring the three people inside the room back. Remember, don't let them die," David said.
"Yes!"
David left with Pearl in his arms.

As the most high-end hotel in Capital City, such a loud noise suddenly sounding from the Starry Night Hotel was a shock Hence, the manager quickly brought the security team over to take a look, however, they were stopped outside by the people from the discipline team.
"Who are you? What are you doing? I'm the manager here. If you continue to get in my way, don't blame me for being rude," the manager said angrily to the discipline team.
The loud noise came from the most high-end area of the hotel.
None of the people staying here were easy-mannered.
Especially the one who checked into luxury suite 1 yesterday.
The manager of Mosley Financial Group in Somerland personally came over and booked the room.
That was Mosley Financial Group, the world's top consortium.
More than a dozen security personnel behind the manager immediately took out electric batons and got into fighting stances.
However, the staff of the discipline team did not take them seriously.
"The Somerland Discipline Team is carrying out business. All unrelated persons, please leave, otherwise, you will be dealt with seriously."
"What Somerland Discipline Team? I've never heard of it before. Get out of the way or I will not be held responsible for hurting you," the manager insisted.
He genuinely had not heard of the Somerland Discipline Team.
However, since he could be the manager of this place, he was pretty smart.
Until now, these people had not looked him in the eye at all, so they were definitely not to be messed with. Otherwise, he would have ordered the security team behind him to take action by now.
If there was not a very important guest living in this area, he would not want to get himself involved in this mess.
"If you haven't heard of us, it only means you're not qualified! Call your boss and see if he dares to talk to us like this!"
The manager did not dare to try to be brave this time.
Hence, he hastily took out his cell phone and called the boss of the hotel.
"Mark, what is it?" A middle-aged man's voice came through the phone.
"Hello, Mr. Inez, there's something I'd like to report to you," Mark said respectfully.
"What is it?"
"There was a loud noise in the VIP area of the hotel. I was about to bring someone to check it out, but I was stopped outside," Mark said.
"Huh? Who's so daring? How dare they behave atrociously in my hotel?" Mr. Inez seemed to be interested.
"They say they're the Somerland Discipline Team and they asked us to stay out of it or we will be severely dealt with," Mark said.
"What?" Mr. Inez exclaimed in surprise.
"Say… Say that again! Who are they?"
"The Somerland Discipline Team." Mark carefully repeated.
"Are you sure?" Mr. Inez asked again.
"Yes, I'm sure," Mark answered positively.
"Leave them be! No, cooperate with them with whatever they need as best as you can. I'll be right over. Don't offend them." Mr. Inez quickly hung up the phone after he said that, leaving a confused Mark behind. Even his boss was so scared. Who was the Somerland Discipline Team? No wonder they never once looked him in the eye.
Luckily, he was smart and did not go over the line and start a conflict with them. Otherwise, he would be done for. He would not even know how he died.
While Mark was about to go over to curry favor with them, he saw a young man walking out whilst carrying a woman.
Mark walked over. He wanted to ask what was going on when the two walked over. As David walked out with Pearl, he passed by the aftermath team from the discipline team.
Then, a few of the members bowed and said respectfully, "Captain!"
"You've worked hard. I'll leave the rest to you," David answered.
"This is what we should do."
David continued walking, leaving behind a stunned Mark.
‘T-This young man in his early twenties is the captain?' Mark felt as if his worldview had been turned upside down.
He thought after he became the manager of Starry Night Hotel, he could be said to have stepped into the upper class circle of Capital City In the end, he realized he still had a long way to go.
At least, he had never heard of a team like the Somerland Discipline Team.
If they could make his boss so nervous, then they were definitely very prestigious. Furthermore, a young man in his early twenties was the captain of such a powerful team.
---
David sent Pearl back to her place and asked her to rest well.
Then, he drove straight to Mason's residence. After going through several barriers, he arrived at the familiar courtyard. David got out of the car and walked in after pushing the door open.
"David, you're here." Mason was watching the news of Somerland at this hour in the courtyard.
"Old Master Stefani, I want to know about the Mosley family. Can you tell me more about them?" David said, getting straight to the topic.
"Why do you suddenly want to know about them? What happened?" Mason asked curiously.
He knew David would not be concerned about this for no reason.
"It's nothing. I had some conflict with the people from the Mosley family, so I want to find out more about them," David explained.
"You had a conflict with the people from the Mosley family? Was it serious?"
"It's fine. I can take care of it. It was just one of the hedonistic descendants."
"Since you can take care of it, I won't get involved. You've grown and you can assume personal responsibility. Let me tell you about this family."
---
After leaving Mason's residence, David reflected on what he had learned about the Mosley family from Mason.
This family was old and powerful.
In addition to a peak God Ranker, there were also three late God Rankers in that family.
Not only that, but they also controlled numerous small and medium-sized countries.
Every year, a steady stream of resources was sent to the Mosley family from all over the world.
The Mosley Financial Group was one of the world's top consortiums with inexhaustible wealth.
Although the Mosley family was not the strongest among the five top major forces in the world, it was scary enough.
David measured the gap between himself and the Mosley family.
Aside from having peak God Rankers on both sides, the other factors were basically worlds apart.
‘What should I do?' David was thinking.
This time, he had defeated the second-in-line heir of the Mosley farnily. Judging from the strength of the Mosley family, they would never give up. Not only would the other party not give up, but he himself would not forgive the Mosley family so easily. Sooner or later, the two sides would collide. Hence, he had to be fully prepared.
---
David went back to where Pearl was staying.
He quietly entered the room and glanced at Pearl. When he saw that she was sound asleep, he figured she had to be exhausted since she did not sleep for the entire night last night. Therefore, he walked out of the room and started busying himself in the kitchen.
At this moment, his phone rang. David grabbed the phone to take a look and noticed it was from Julia.
"Hello, Jules," David said after answering.
"David, are the three people we caught this morning from the Mosley family?" Julia asked.
"Yeah," David answered.
"What do you want to do with them?"
"Don't kill them yet. I need them for something."
"The manager of Mosley Financial Group in Somerland has contacted me and told me to release them at once. Plus, he demanded an explanation from us or risk suffering the wrath of Mosley Financial Group."
"Ignore them, I'll handle this."
"If this person can make the manager of Mosley Financial Group in Somerland so nervous, he must not be anyone simple."
"Indeed! He is the second-in-line heir of the Mosley family. His name is Walt Mosley. It is definitely not easy to be the second-in-line heir in this generation."
Julia was silent for a while and said, "David, no matter what you do, I will fully support you, but you have to be careful. Don't put yourself in danger. The Mosley family is terrifyingly powerful. If you can't handle this, just tell my great-grandpa."
"I know, thank you, Jules. But don't tell Old Master Stefani for now, he's waiting for the fish to take the bait, and right now we are at the most critical point. He can't be disturbed, or the fish will run away."
"But what if the Mosley family seeks revenge?"
"It's okay, leave it to me. Trust me, I can handle it."
"Alright, be careful."
"I know."
David hung up and was about to continue cooking.
Suddenly, he saw Pearl standing at the entrance of the kitchen.
"Miss Pearl, you're awake. Are you hungry? Go sit down for a while. The food will be ready soon," David said.
Pearl looked blankly at David and did not do anything. However, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
"What's wrong, Miss Pearl? Do you feel unwell? Did that bastard hurt you?" David walked over and asked in concern.
Pearl hugged David.
Then, she said while crying, "David, why are you so good to me? Couldn't I just let him do whatever he wanted to me so that I'd lose all hope for you? This will be best for everyone. Why do you have to shoulder such a heavy burden and offend such a powerful enemy just so you could save me? What should I do now? Why should I stay alive if I don't have you?"
"Miss Pearl, …" When David was about to say something, Pearl interrupted him.
"Don't speak! Kiss me!"
"Huh?" The moment David made a noise, Pearl pressed her lips against him.
Ten minutes later…
The two finally parted.
"Miss Pearl, you should go rest. The food will be ready soon," David said.
"No, let me help you," Pearl answered, her face red.
The two were busy making food in the kitchen together. Soon, a table of sumptuous dishes was prepared.
"David, will the Mosley family seek revenge after we offended them? I learned that their family is terrifying when I was abroad. It's all my fault. I wish I didn't go to that party at that time so that I wouldn't meet that scumbag Walt, " Pearl said reproachfully as she ate.
"It's alright, Miss Peal. In fact, I'm also very powerful now and I'm not afraid of them at all," David said with a smile.
"Really?"
"Of course! If you don't believe me, just wait and see. I'll give you a surprise soon."
"Okay, I believe you!"
At night, David still did not live with Pearl, but instead, he lived opposite Pearl.
Although he saw desire in Pearl's eyes, he could not do that just yet.
As he sat on the bed, David was a little excited when he saw his lavish points that had just broken 10 thousand.
If he could upgrade his mind power to God level, then he would be more confident fighting against the Mosley family by himself. His biggest weakness now was his lack of combat experience.
Compared to those masters who went all the way from low-level combat to peak God Ranker, he was still far behind.
In addition to that, the mind power was an important bargaining chip for him to make up for this defect.
The stronger his mind power, the clearer his mind would become.
Furthermore, his perception would improve and his reaction speed would also get faster. No matter how rich the enemy's combat experience was, he would be able to quickly find a way to deal with it. That was his trump card against the other peak God Rankers.
Based on past experience, a breakthrough or improvement in his mind power would not affect his realm.
He was now a peak God Ranker.
If he upgraded his mind power, he would still be a peak God Ranker, unless his mind power reached God level 10, which was the maximum.
If his physique and mind power were both at the God level double limit, he would go further and surpass peak God Rank to continue taking these small steps forward.
Right now, the breakthrough and improvement of mind power would not affect his realm, but it would be reflected in his reactions and perceptions. His mind power had been raised from the extraordinary limit to the God level, which was a very big leap.
One had to know that if his physique upgraded from the extraordinary limit to God level, he could upgrade from halfway to God Rank to becoming a God Rank guardian. Just like his physique, he would need to consume 10 thousand lavish points to upgrade his mind power.
David believed the benefits he would enjoy would be enormous. He looked at the lavish points on the system panel.
10192 points.
A [+] button had appeared after mind power.
David clicked on it without hesitation.
A window popped up.
--------------
[Host, are you sure you want to increase your mind power? This increase will consume 10,000 lavish points.]
--------------
David selected yes.
The system instantly went black.
Then, David felt a sharp pain in his head as if he was being torn apart. He held his head with both hands and lay on the bed, enduring the excruciating pain.
One minute…
Three minutes…
Five minutes…
The pain finally disappeared gradually. David opened his eyes. He felt as if his soul had been raised to a higher level.
His brain had never been so clear before. This feeling was too wonderful for words!
His mind power had been upgraded to God level, and this gave David some confidence in his heart.
He felt like he was the only conscious one in this world of drunkards, so he was even a little eager to test it out.
He was desperate to find a peak God Ranker to fight.
Unfortunately, there were no such suitable opportunities.
David gradually formed an idea in his mind.
At the same time that David was getting excited because of his mind power breakthrough, the news of Walt's detention in Somerland had been sent back to the Mosley family headquarters.
When Irwin, the manager of Mosley Financial Group in Somerland, found out that Walt was being dealt with by the Somerland Discipline Team, he immediately relayed the news. This was not something he could resolve anymore. Although he immediately contacted the deputy captain of the Somerland Discipline Team and asked her to release Walt while revealing the identity of Mr. Walt, the other party did not seem to buy it.
He also learned about the newly formed Somerland Discipline Team. It was composed of dozens of hidden families and sects in Somerland, plus Somerland's elite Team Dragon as well as some members of the Special Task Force and Falcon. It was responsible for maintaining the social stability of Somerland. Therefore, they had a lot of power. They even had the right to act first and report later in Somerland.
Meanwhile, he was simply the manager of Mosley Financial Group in Somerland.
In the eyes of ordinary people, he already stood at the top level of the financial circle.
However, to these official departments with real authority, he was just a lackey who was working under others.
He contacted some of his partners to try to exert pressure on Somerland together with them.
However, when those families and companies that cooperated with Mosley Financial Group heard that the other party was the Somerland Discipline Team, they scrambled away like rats encountering a cat. They were not willing to get involved at all. Although the Somerland Discipline Team was established only a few days ago, no force in Somerland dared to offend them now.
Irwin was also very troubled now.
This matter involved two of the world's top powers.
Without a peaceful resolution, his days as the manager of Mosley Financial Group in Somerland would come to an end.
By then, his status would also plummet. Irwin even started complaining about Mr. Walt.
‘What a hedonistic kid who only thinks with his d*ck.
'There are so many beautiful women abroad for you to dominate, and yet, you had to fancy a Somerland woman.
‘You even followed her to Somerland.
‘Great! You've offended the Discipline Team that is now in the limelight in Somerland. Aside from the fact that you've been seriously injured and detained, you even want to cause trouble for me.
‘I really don't know how you became the second-in-line heir of the Mosley family.'
Irwin could only pray that the two sides would resolve the matter peacefully and not make a huge fuss about it. Otherwise, it would be hard for Mosley Financial Group to maintain their foothold in Somerland.
And he, the manager of Mosley Financial Group in Somerland, would also lose his role.
---
Inside an ancient and luxurious castle in Falconia.
Several core executives of the Mosley family were discussing how to put pressure on Somerland to rescue Walt, the second-in-line heir of the Mosley family.
"I called everyone here today to discuss something with you. Not long ago, I received news from the Somerland branch of Mosley Financial Group that Walt was seriously
injured and detained in Somerland. Let's discuss how we should deal with this matter," the patriarch of the Mosley family sitting in the front seat, Paolo Mosley, announced.
"What? Walt was detained in Somerland with serious injuries? When did he go to Somerland? I saw him just a few days ago!"
"Paolo, is the news accurate? Somerland is in turmoil now, how dare they detain the direct descendants of the Mosley family?"
"I share the same doubts!"
"What happened?"
The core executives of the Mosley family present asked.
"The news is accurate. The general story is that Walt met a Somerland woman and pursued her, but then he was rejected by the other party. After that, the woman returned to Somerland while Walt flew to Somerland yesterday. The identity of the woman should not be simple. Walt only brought two people who are halfway to God Rank with him, so he was detained in Somerland as expected," Paolo explained the matter briefly.
"The other party knows that Walt is a direct descendant of the Mosley family, yet they dared to do this? Was it someone from the Somerland government?"
"Exactly! It was the newly established official branch of Somerland, the Somerland Discipline Team, which is also the department with the most strength among all the Somerland departments," Paolo said.
"Then, what else is there to say? Send a message directly to Somerland in the name of the Mosley family and ask them what they want. Do they want to fight with the Mosley family? We're already kind enough not to bother them during this special period, yet they dare to come to offend us? They really don't know what's good for them," said another late God Ranker from the Mosley family.
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
"I agree!" The others said.
"Bear, tell us what you think," Paolo looked at a young man in his thirties and asked.
This young man was the first-in-line heir of the Mosley family, Bear Mosley.
He was also Walt's cousin.
"Yes, Grandpa," Bear stood up and answered respectfully.
Then, he continued, "I think that since Somerland knows that Walt is the direct descendant of the Mosley family and still dare to detain him in Somerland, they will definitely not let him go easily. If we negotiate with Somerland in the name of the family, we, the Mosley family, will also be in a dilemma once they reject us."
"Everyone knows that Somerland's hero is in his decline and the country will fall apart soon, but because of this, everyone is afraid of Somerland's final counterattack. It is unwise for us to be hostile to Somerland now. If the negotiation fails, it will bring shame upon the family if we don't do anything to Somerland. On the contrary, if we take action, we need to be worried of Somerland's counterattack. In the end, even if we win, the family will suffer heavy losses. We will just be doing work for others with no benefit to ourselves while the other third party forces benefit from our fight."
After Bear said this, all the core executives of the Mosley family present began to think carefully.
Paolo nodded secretly. It was indeed unwise to go to war with Somerland now.
They might just be doing the dirty work for others while bringing no benefit to themselves just like Bear said.
Right now, all the forces of the world were staring at Somerland. However, no one wanted to be the first to take action and pave the way for other forces. Therefore, everyone was just watching.
The room fell into a short moment of silence.
A few minutes later…
"What does everyone think? You can speak your mind freely. We're looking for the most reasonable plan that suits the family's interest the best," Paolo said.
