[Chapter 89]
Zachary and the gang sat in the car. Howard was driving in front while Zachary and Mac sat behind. Normally, Mac would be the one driving, but since he was severely injured, only Howard could drive.
Howard would need to send them back to North River Province.
In the car.
"Mac, what level is David at?" Zachary asked.
He wanted to know the strength of David, who was younger than him.
"Sir, I can't tell. He only showed an ounce of his aura, but it already horrified me. Plus, I can't smash the sword with a flick of a finger like him. I think he's at least at the peak of the Tiger Rank or even higher!" Mac replied after thinking about it.
"Above the Tiger Rank? H-How is that possible?" Zachary asked in shock.
"Sir, you should know that there are always people who can do better. Some of them are extremely talented. Back when I was in the underground wrestling ring, I met a guy that was not any inferior to David," Mac explained patiently.
"Mac, do you think I have a chance to reach that level?"
"Sir, you're pretty talented, so if you are willing to work hard, you'll be able to do it."
"However, how much further will they progress once I reach a level like them?"
This time, Mac did not answer.
It was because he did not know how to answer.
There were differences in human beings, just like how someone's starting line was the goal that others would never be able to achieve in their lifetime.
Some people were born to be very talented. They could reach a super high level with just a bit of hard work
However, others would not have such talent, so no matter how hard they worked, they would always be stuck in the same spot.
That was why he did not know how to answer this question. Zachary was talented, but there was still some disparity between him and those real geniuses.
"Mr. Quinn, I know that guy," Howard said as he drove.
"Oh? You know him?" Zachary asked.
"Yeah, he's a student from SRU!"
"A student from SRU?"
"Yeah!"
After that, Howard told Zachary some rumors about David. Then, he also sent the photos he saved on his phone to Zachary.
"So he's deliberately keeping a low profile on campus!" Zachary asked.
"That should be the case!" Howard answered.
How interesting. He was such a powerful person, but he was pretending to be low profile. He did not even do anything after his girlfriend was stolen from him. What kind of person was he?
David sent Paul to Champion Hospital. Even though it was at night, most of the leaders of the hospital were waiting for them. Because of this, David figured Charles had notified them in advance.
After a full body checkup, they found that there was nothing seriously wrong with Paul's body. However, there was some damage to his internal organs, so he needed to recuperate for some time.
David asked the hospital to proceed with the hospitalization process. He would not be staying far from his mother's room, so that way, he could go and accompany his mother whenever he wanted.
He could actually stay right next-door to his mother, but Paul was worried that his mother would be worried if she knew that he was hurt, so he realized it would be better if he stayed a little further from her.
"Paul, you have to recover properly. You can go accompany your mother when you're free. Don't think about anything else. After you and your mother are discharged, you can stay in River City. I'll arrange everything for you," David said to Paul in the hospital room where he stayed.
"Thank you, sir. I'll ask two of my friends to replace me while I'm in the hospital. They've been traveling abroad with me for many years and they're not any worse than me," Paul said.
