[Chapter 172]
He dared not unleash his aura on Rupert either. After all, he was scared he would kill the defenseless old man.
David had no idea that people would not think of a system at all.
You could only get stronger, step by step. There were no shortcuts or serendipity.
Even the most gifted person need to start at an early age. They would only live a mediocre life once they were past their prime.
Therefore, the rational assumption would be exactly as Rupert had said. It would be the same even if someone really did look into his background.
"Dave, don't be alarmed. We're friends, not enemies. You should thank me for looking into you. I concealed your identity after I finished my investigations. There have been at least three parties looking into you afterward, but they found nothing," explained Rupert.
The aura David released earlier was strong!
Although he did not direct it at him, as a former master in the Tiger Rank, he still had the perception even though his powers were gone.
David was strong, stronger than he was at his peak!
It made him more determined to bind the Luther family with David.
Only in this way could the Luther family continue to flourish, while it would no longer be impossible to extend their influence beyond South River Province.
South River Province could only be considered below average amongst the provinces and cities in the country. There were still many more opportunities out there.
Besides, he found that David was a good person after his investigation.
At the very least, he would repay the kindness of those who helped him.
His health deteriorated day by day. As a master in the Tiger Rank, he was not very old. If he had not been seriously injured, he would have lived for another 20 or 30 years with proper care.
However, he felt that his time was coming and had to find a partner for the Luther family.
David seemed like the best fit for this.
David, who was already a little relaxed, was nervous again when Rupert said that.
'At least three parties looked into me?
'Who?
'Zachary should be one of them!
'But who are the others?'
'David could not figure it out!
The unknown was the scariest. He seemed to have caught the attention of some forces. "Old Master Luther, I'm sorry. I got a little nervous just now. But I can't defy my mentor. I do need an identity," David said as he played along with Rupert.
Since he said he had a mentor, then so be it! It would explain his sudden transformation
"Dave don't mention it. The reason I'm telling you all this is because I want you to work closely with the Luther family."
"Old Master Luther, what do you mean by Special Task Force Team B?" asked David.
"Special Task Force is divided into four teams A, B, C, and D. Team C and D are only responsible for the events triggered by the first-class martial artist, while Team B is the watershed responsible for the events triggered by masters in the Tiger Rank," explained Rupert.
"What about Team A? Isn't there a Team A?" asked David.
"Team A is elusive. They only show up when Team B can't settle an incident, which is rare, so I don't know much about them either."
"Dave, referring you to the Special Task Force is just one of the two big presents I'm giving you."
"What's the other one?"
