I’m A Quadrillionaire chapter 553
“Mr. Powers, you have no idea. Old Master Gooding found the details surrounding Star Sect in the top-
secret vault in Somerland. As for why we’re working with you guys, it’s because Old Master Gooding
not only found that you’re very powerful, you’re even rivals with the Krums,” Ben explained.
“Oh? Your family has beef with the Krums?” Kit asked.
“Yes, one of the disciples of the Krums is a member of the Lovewood family, and my family has huge
beef with them.”
“How can you prove that?”
“This is no secret in Capital City. You’ll find out if you ask around. Plus, we already shared grievances
as far back as three years ago. Back then, we didn’t know the Krums were backing the Lovewoods, if
not, my family would not have ended up like this.”
“Really?” Kit asked.
However, his tone was not icy anymore. Instead, it was laced with a hint of surprise.
If what Ben said was true, then this would be astronomically good news for Star Sect.
The Krums were Star Sect’s biggest enemy.
They would not be able to get along peacefully with or without the Gooding family.
If that was the case, the best choice was undoubtedly to work with the Gooding family as there would
be great benefits for both sides.
The Gooding family had someone to support them in their fight against the Krums and Star Sect had a
collaboration partner to aid them with their resurfacing. Hence, they could proceed with the next step in
their plan.
This was definitely a win-win situation.
“Everything I’ve said is true. Not only that, a few days ago, the people from the Lovewoods came to my
house to protest, along with three disciples from the Krums and two elders. They made us lose out face
and become the biggest joke in Capital City.”
“Alright, I’ll go back and tell the head about this. If we confirm that everything you said is true, then we
can continue to talk about the collaboration between us. Don’t worry. If we’re able to collaborate
successfully, Star Sect will protect you from the Krums and your family will not need to fear them
anymore.”
“If that’s the case, thank you, Mr. Powers! However, since Star Sect is categorized as a dangerous sect
in Somerland, the Chief of Staff in Somerland, Mason Stefani, said that we can’t work with sects like
you. So, we have to do this in secret, and we can’t give ourselves
away. If not, my family will be in danger and Star Sect will have no hopes of resurfacing. Only after
Mason is dead will we not need to fear anyone and be able to show ourselves openly.”
“Alright, if Star Sect agrees, we’ll do everything according to the Gooding family’s plan.”
Both of them immediately got along, and both sides soon went back to report the discussion.
Once these two forces successfully collaborated, they would not be inferior to the Krums and
Lovewoods. They might even have a slight upper hand.
After all, the Krums and Star Sect were rivals. These two sects were in a stalemate when facing each
other as they were evenly matched.
However, the Lovewoods could not rival the Gooding family.
However, the Goodings did not know that Mason had been cured by David and he had recovered to the
peak of his powers. Moreover, he could still go on for ten more years.
If they had known this, they would have instantly choosen not to work with Star Sect.
If not, if they were exposed, their family would lose their foothold in Somerland.
The best result the Gooding family could hope for would be to be banished from Somerland like the
previous hidden family, the Haran family.
Alternatively, they might completely disappear from the annals of history.
A lot of families in Somerland were still working with hidden sects and families as they wanted to find
protection for the impending troubled times.
The more powerful a family was, the more powerful the sect they would work with.
One could imagine how chaotic the world would be not long after these hidden sects and families came
out from hiding.
Nobody knew which of these families and sects would rise and which of these sects and families would
be destroyed.
However, all of this had nothing to do with David.
He was still proceeding with his money-spending plan. He was still not strong enough after he had
entered God Rank. Hence, he still needed to continue working hard.
