At this moment, the only remaining black–horned ship‘s hatch opened.
Erwin walked out with the remaining dozens of elites.
They did not stop in the air. Instead, they descended in front of David and the others.
Then, they fell to their knees.
Erwin burst into tears and said, “David, Lord Truman, Dance Fairy, we were blinded with obsession and
believed what Burke said, so that‘s why we attacked you. Now, we‘ve realized our mistakes, and we‘ve
paid enough for that. Please spare us. The hundreds of thousands of family members of the Gatsby
family will be eternally grateful for you. From now on, we will do everything you say and be your
affiliated family. Please forgive us and give us a chance to correct ourselves.”
“Please forgive us and give us a chance to correct ourselves.”
The other elite of the Gatsby family spoke as well. Now was not the time to worry about their prestige.
This was the only way to stay alive.
If Truman said no, David would turn a family of hundreds of thousands of people to dust in mere
seconds.
No one doubted if David could do so. From what he did just now, such a feat would just be negligible
for him. He could destroy more than ten black–horned ships without moving a muscle, so what would
happen if he acted?
Who could resist?
For the sake of the hundreds and thousands of lives, Erwin could only kneel and beg for mercy.
He could only plead for the Concord family to spare them. David did not say anything. He let Truman
decide. He would respect Truman no matter if he decided to let them go or kill them.
After all, this was the Concord family‘s business, and it was their family member who died.
He could only help and not decide for them.
If the Gatsby family killed an earthling, David would not hesitate to take action to destroy them.
Earth was David‘s weakness, and he would not allow anyone to touch it. If not, they would suffer his
crazy retaliation. Even if the Milky Way Empire emperor hurt Earth, David would hide in the dark like a
venomous snake. Then, he would kill the emperor and overthrow the Milky Way Empire once he had
enough power. These were his principles. He could not care less about some things. However, some
things were his weakness, and no one could touch them. There was a quote in Somerland that suited
David.
‘Anyone who touches the weakness of a dragon will die.‘
Truman knew it was time for him to speak.
As he looked at Lord Erwin of Blue Star, who previously had so much power on his knees, crying and
begging for forgiveness, Truman felt like he was in a dream. To be honest, Truman could not ask David
to destroy the Gatsby family and kill hundreds of thousands of people.
However, the memory of the Gatsby family killing his family members mercilessly just now was still
fresh in his mind.
Truman would not be willing to let the Gatsby family go just like that. In the end, he decided to accept
Erwin‘s proposal. He would make the Gatsby family his affiliated family. The Gatsby family would give
the Concord family everything they had; from now on, they would take orders from the Concord family.
Truman knew this was a corrupt practice. Still, if David broke up with Mia after some conflicts, and
stopped being the Concord family‘s backer, the Gatsby family would surely seek revenge. When that
happened, the Gatsby family would not be merciful to the Concord family. However, they had no
choice. Truman could not kill the hundreds of thousands of Gatsby family members and solve this
problem once and for all.
Hence, this was the only way.
He hoped his daughter could stay forever with David, at least for over a hundred years! After over a
hundred years of rapid development for the Concord family, and over a hundred years of weakening for
the Gatsby family, their strengths might be reversed. When that happened, the Concord family would
no longer be scared of the Gatsby family.
