Chapter 1671


    Alba stood there motionless.


    Now, she no longer has the right to act, and could only ept her fate helplessly.


    She understood what would happen once she boarded Cornelius’ ship today.


    Unfortunately, even if she knew, Alba had no way to change it.


    She could notplete her deal with David anymore.


    Once she thought about this, Alba suddenly felt extremely angry.


    ‘Why couldn’t he just give me a little more time?


    ‘I found a way to change my destiny and save my family.


    ‘But I was defeated by time.’


    Alba could not ept this!


    If only there was a little more time for her to build a good rtionship with David, help David expand the


    firm andplete the deal, and meet David’s master, the Sacred Saint who hides in the dark of Star


    Kingdom, she would have the opportunity to change her and her family’s fate.


    Although her chances of sess were not great, this was the only hope that Alba had after so many


    years.


    Now, because of that rascal Cornelius, all her ns had shattered.


    A cold light shed in Alba’s eyes as she stared fixedly at the old man approaching her rapidly.N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    ‘It’s all their fault.”


    Regardless of her family’s future and how miserable her future would be, Alba would do everything to


    make Cornelius pay the price after this incident.


    After the old man saw the light in Alba’s eyes, he shuddered internally for some reason.


    Then, he startedughing at himself.


    ‘She’s just the third young mistress of a family that’s about to copse and she’s not even an heir, how


    much power could she have?’ 2


    If hepleted the task today, they might have a huge supporter behind them.


    How could they be scared of a little girl at Ruler Rank?


    After rposing himself, the old man showed a cold smirk on the corner of his lips. Then, his hands


    approached Alba.


    As long as he caught her, got her to have a meal with Master Cornelius, and recorded it to share with


    the outside world, his mission would be considered a sess.


    The surrounding guards and maids who were sent flying could only watch the old man approach Alba.


    There was nothing they could do.


    Their strength was too low.


    The person with the highestbat power among them was only an Immortal Ranker. How could they


    defeat a Sovereign Rankerer?


    Cornelius also stared closely at the merchant ship in the distance, his hands were sped tightly


    together.


    He would be lying if he said he was not nervous.


    He had been nning this for a long time.


    This was rted to whether he could get the support of his employer when hepeted for the head


    of the Lightfoot family in the future.


    Cornelius also had to value this.


    With the support of his employer, his chances of bing the head of the Lightfoot family would be at


    least 80%.


    Without his employer’s support, it would be no more than 20%.


    This gap was not insignificant.


    That was why he took this huge gamble.


    ‘Judging from the speed of a Sovereign Ranker, there should be no chance for Alba tomit suicide.’


    Cornelius thought silently in his heart.


    Inside the control room of the Fellowes family’s merchant ship, the old man’s hand was only one meter


    away from Alba.


    He was about to seize the famous third young mistress of the Fellowes family.


    Alba also epted her fate at this time.


    There would be no miracles.


    She did not understand why David still had not shownup.


    ‘Even if he can’t defeat the old man, he wouldn’t hide in his room, right?


    ‘Is he scared of a Sovereign Ranker?


    ‘Is he really the direct disciple of a Sacred Saint?’


    Alba started questioning David in her heart.


    ‘Shouldn’t a young man who’s been living with a Sacred Saint be fearless of everything the first time he


    came out?’
