Chapter 1571
There was silence in the room for a while.
Knock knock knock!
There was a knock on the door.
David breathed a sigh of relief.
He did not expect that one day, he would be rendered speechless by a seven or eight-year-old girl.
Of course, it was Marlee who knocked on the door.
If she did not knock on the door to interrupt the conversation between the two, David feared the cheeky
girl would expose everything about him.
“Come in!” David did not even ask who it was before letting theme in directly.
He had retracted his mind power after learning about the surrounding situation, and now he was just
chatting with Peggy
The question the little girl kept asking was giving David a headache, so he did not notice the person
outside the door.
After Peggy finished speaking, she was still waiting for her Mister David’spliment.
However, she was interrupted by a knock on the door, which irritated her.
She pouted and had an annoyed expression on her face.
Marlee pushed the door open and entered the room.
She looked as usual. Obviously, she had rposed herself.
“Marlee!” David called out.
“Mother!” The little girl cried unhappily.
“Peggy, what were you talking about? You look a little unhappy. Did Mister bully you?” Marlee
pretended to be ignorant.

The little girl shook her head. When she was just about to speak, David answered before her, “Marlee,
we’re not talking about anything. I was telling Peggy a story. The ending of thetest story didn’t have a
happy ending so that’s why she’s a little unhappy.”
“I see! Peggy, you’re at fault. Since you want stories, you have to respect the endings,” Marlee
criticized softly.
“It’s okay, Marlee. She’s just a kid! It’s normal for her to be a little emotional,” David advised from the
side.
“Thank you, David, for telling her the story,” Marlee thanked.
“You’re too kind, Marlee. It’s just a small matter.”
Marlee walked over to Peggy and took her in her arms.
The little girl was still a little angry She struggled a few times before letting Marlee hold her without
breaking free
Time was running out
The space pirates would soon breach the merchant ship’s defenses.
Marlee did not want to worry her daughter, so she ran her finger lightly across Peggy’s nose. The little
girl inhaled a trace of fragrance and in a few seconds, she fell asleep peacefully. Only then did Marlee
look at David, and said seriously, “David, I have something to ask you.”
David had already noticed Marlee’s movements.
Combined with the desperation she was in now, he probably knew what the other party wanted to say
in his heart.
However, David did not say it out loud or said he could solve it, but instead replied, “Marlee, go ahead.”
“We ran into space pirates, and they are the cruelest kind. With our current strength, we have no
chance of winning at all. They will break through the merchant ship’s defense in a short while,” Marlee
said, going straight to the point.
After she finished speaking, she stared at David.
She hoped that David would tell her, “Marlee don’t worry, they dare not do anything with me around.”
If that were the case, David must be an important figure of a certain big force.
However, David’s next wordspletely disappointed Marlee.
“I see, what do you want me to do?” David asked.
Marlee lost all hope.
David could not deal with this group of space pirates.
Then, she could only go for the second option.
“David, I want to entrust Peggy to you. Once they attackter, I will do my best to create an opportunity
for you and Peggy to escape. I hope you can raise Peggy.” Marlee looked at the little girl in her arms
and said.
“But Marlee, can we even run away? The opponent has not dispatched their strongest person yet,”
David asked again.
