Chapter 50 (1/2)

“Hans, I didn’t stay for long in Pelan City. I only taught David Bodywork and how to use a warhammer. I didn’t teach him anything else, but as I said, David is a genius and he’s extremely good at Electronic Warfare. Did you know about that?” Galen asked after answering the question.

“Galen, are you mistaken? How can David be good at Electronic Warfare Retaliation? He’s doing poorly in all his subjects. How could he have what it takes to learn all that!?!” asked Hans, genuinely surprised this time.

“Hans, you really need to get to know your child better. David can locate the traps in the security system and control them. With that level of skill, he is definitely competent enough to get a decent job at any major software company,” Galen said while shaking his head.

“So, there’s a real possibility that Mr. Strat could have been killed by David?” Hans asked softly.

“It doesn’t matter if it was him or not. However, Mr. Strat’s lead is now broken. It’s going to be much more difficult to find out who’s really out to get David!” Galen exclaimed. He did not care if David was the one who killed Strat or not. As long as no one found out, he would be fine.

Hans was not a simple person, having come back alive from a near-death situation in Battlestar after having achieved some great things. Although he had lost his ability to fight, he still had good judgment.

In fact, he had discovered that Amos had been spying on David a long time ago. Although Amos’ death cut off all direct evidence, the only person who could command Amos was Mr. Strat.

Although Hans did not intervene with matters at work, the incident this time involved David and his wife’s father, Mr. Strat. Hence, he requested the professionals of the Law Department to look into the matter.

Except for Galen, no one else knew that he was investigating the matter.

He had even discovered that there was a force behind Mr. Strat, helping him grow his hotel and influence, but he couldn’t find out who the force was.

“I have a good relationship with the military. I’ll try to find out more about this, and if I do find out that it has something to do with David, you may have to use your connections to take David away in advance!” Hans pleaded, which was rare for him.

“Don’t worry, it’s a small matter. But in my opinion, David is incapable of hacking into the military city defense system. So, someone should have helped him!” Galen suggested with a chuckle.

He had spent about the same amount of time with David as Maron had, but he knew David better than Maron did.

The murderous intent in David’s body showed that David was not the kind of person to stay quiet and wait patiently after being attacked. That was a vengeful character that only armorers should have.

If David did not want to become an ordinary man, he had to experience the battlefield and that killing intent would protect him.

“Strat is dead?” Trainer Jeremy’s eyes were filled with horror as he looked at the information on his identity bracelet.

As soon as he saw that David was not far from the long-range sniper cannon that had fired the fatal shot that killed Mr. Strat, he became certain that David was the killer.

That psychic sensing was his ability, which he had gained from the recuperation of his soul.

Mr. Strat’s sudden death had broken his set-ups in Pelan City and caused his plan to be delayed by at least a few years.

There was a flash of white light on his body, after which he subconsciously crushed the alloy cup in his hand into a mass of iron.

He seemed to have sensed that he had lost his temper. He tossed the iron mass in his hand into the garbage can to the side.

If anyone was there, they would be able to discover just how powerful Trainer Jeremy was. He could squeeze the alloy cup into an iron ball with just hands, without any injury at all. That showed that he was extremely strong and had incomparable physical strength.

However, in this regard, he was different from ordinary armorers. Armorers without armor were still strong but their physical strength would not exceed that of an ordinary person by much.

The thing that stood out, however, was the white beam of light that flashed on Trainer Jeremy’s body. The momentary burst of power contained a special technique.

“Strat’s dead, but we still have to get that Statesman’s title. We have to plan everything all over again!” Trainer Jeremy muttered under his breath, restoring his usual appearance.

Mr. Strat’s death had shocked everyone in Pelan City. However, with Hans, the ‘Statesman’, around, no one took advantage of the opportunity to encroach on the interests of Strat Hotel.
