Chapter 177: A New Problem
After Audrey spoke, everyone immediately changed the topic again, back to the cancer cure.
One surprising thing was that Audrey did not patent the drug.
It just showed that she was confident that others would not find anything similar. And that way, she didn't need to disclose the drug's ingredients to the public.
The press conference seemed to end after the topic of the patent.
After the press conference was over, Audrey and the others went straight back inside the university building while the reporters were busy making news.
The news was indeed quite horrendous, and what made the most noise was the price of the cancer drug.
Even the TokTak app was filled with the topic.
Of course, the majority of people supported Audrey's decision.
She is considered a kind and fair Goddess. The way she benefited was not from people with a weak economy but from the elite.
Since cancer is a disease that affects all walks of life where even quite a few billionaires are famous for it, so quite a few of the rich were uncomfortable with Audrey's decision.
They were worried that it would cost them too much money.
Meanwhile, David went to his class after the press conference was over.
Even if there was a big event at this university, classes would not be canceled.
However, even when the lecturer came and the lesson started, Jane didn't come to class so David seemed to be alone in the class even though there were other students.
It seemed that she was still busy with her business.
During class, David hardly listened to what the lecturer was saying as he started thinking about his activities after this and for today.
He felt that there would be no activities.
Of course, although he felt that he would be bored, he was also somewhat happy because he felt that he needed to relax once in a while.
Unfortunately, it didn't seem to be that easy.
When he was just thinking like that, he received a message from Mery.
(David, this is a big problem, the Morgan Family has discovered that Excalibur has gone missing. They even immediately suspected that it was done by Erza. You'd better come here.)
Reading the message, David couldn't help but roll his eyes.
This was too big a deal, which would practically make him very busy again.
Phew!
He sighed as he stood up. Even when he stood up, he was a bit slow, but he was quite fast when he stepped.
He exited the university building and went to the location Mery had told him about on his motorcycle.
The location made him knit his brows because it was close to the airport.
He wondered if Erza was going to America.
In no time, he arrived at the location.
He found the figures of Erza and Mery on the sidewalk.
The former looked like she was very uncomfortable while the latter seemed as if she was thinking.
Vrom!
The sound of David's motorcycle exhaust startled the two women so much that they almost jumped.
Seeing that it was him, they calmed down.
"Is the matter so serious? Aren't they just suspicious?" David asked Erza.
The latter shook her head.
She replied, "Their suspicions are already too strong. They even suspected that I stole it with Jane's help because only Jane could help without creating an obvious trail. The problem is that they have already detected that Jane came to the United States with me. Their suspicions became even stronger because I stayed in Europe after that day."
"I see!" In contrast to Erza's panic, David remained calm.
"David, do you have a plan?" asked Mery.
"Let's go to the Morgan Family," David said in response to Mery's question.
"Honey, what are you planning?" David's answer immediately surprised Erza.
"There are too many of my enemies now, I'd better try to make peace with your family," David replied, which confused Erza and Mery.
They were confused because David's answer was rather difficult to understand.
Actually, David had been thinking about that plan since he was on his way here.
"I will propose you to your family until they agree to me holding this sword. That way, all problems are instantly solved." David explained the gist of his plan.
This time, Erza and Mery were no longer confused, but they became more shocked.
"Are you serious, baby?" Erza asked him with her breath quickening with time.
"Well, if your family accepts me, things will be easy," David replied with a faint smile.
He didn't know what the Morgan Family was like. It might be difficult if they were like the Rothschild Family.
However, his relationship with Erza was different from his relationship with Jane.
If he proposed to Erza now, he came as a very powerful spiritual being, and had blood that was very useful to Erza.
This case could not be said for the Rothschild Family because even if he came to the family as an extremely powerful spiritual being, they would only become angrier because he had used their most valuable asset.
Once they knew that, they would only become angrier at him.
Hearing David's answer, Erza nodded very quickly.
"Sure, sure, let's go to my house and propose to my family," she said, looking very excited all of a sudden.
Of course, for her this was a very good idea, especially if everything went smoothly.
After that, she immediately invited David to the airport.
She and Mery were only on foot. The latter obviously had nothing else to do so she just wanted to keep following Erza, and they did need her to be a pilot.
David stayed on his motorcycle, looking for a quiet place so he could put it in his storage ring.
When he saw a dark alley, he entered it and exited on foot.
Maybe people who saw him enter the alley thought he parked his motorcycle there, but it was nowhere to be found.
At the airport, they moved quickly, heading for Erza's large plane that was parked alone in the VVIP area.
It did not allow any other aircraft to approach.
The last time using this plane, David traveled with Mery. Now there was an extra person.
They boarded the plane. As soon as the door closed, Mery went straight to the pilot's room.
Erza, on the other hand, immediately sat down on the sofa right beside the window.
"Ahhh..." She looked relaxed, as if there was no longer any burden on her mind.
"Honey, let's sit down," she said, inviting David to sit beside her.
David did sit next to her, but far enough away because he didn't think now was the time to do anything weird.
After that, he fastened his waist with the seat belt.
He chose to open his cell phone first.
Instead of doing strange things, it was better to calm his mind. After all, after he arrived in the United States later, things still had the possibility of becoming difficult.
Erza rolled her eyes, but she did not try to disturb him.
She sat quite calmly.
"Honey, let's go see my dad first," Erza said as the plane started to fly.
"Your father?" David showed an interested expression at that.
"He is the current United States Secretary of Defense," Erza replied.
After knowing her father's identity, David couldn't help but be surprised.
He quickly went online to see who the United States Secretary of Defense was.
As it turned out, he was a middle-aged man with blond hair. He had a handsome face but his expression gave a very fierce impression.
David instantly became pessimistic that things would be okay if they met that man first.
"What about your mom?" David asked.
Not that he had any strange intentions of asking about her mother, but he thought it might be easier to deal with a woman than a man, especially if the man had a thick military style.
"My mom is too much trouble," Erza replied.
"Why?" David asked again.
However, this time Erza smiled strangely.
"Honey, you're not imagining my mom, are you?" she said.
She even winked at him, teasing him.
Since she knew his relationship with Jane's mother, so she suspected that David also wanted her mother.
Only, she didn't look alarmed or angry.
In fact over time she only smiled wider.
"Don't think weird," David replied, rolling his eyes.
He wondered what made her say that her mother was troublesome.
"Actually, my mother is divorced from my father, so she is free, unlike Jane's mother who is still the wife of the Rothschild Family even though she is a widow," she added instead of listening to David.
She seems to want to keep talking on this topic.
"Your brain is really having problems," David said.
"I am like this," Erza replied. "Isn't it more convenient than Jane. If Jane knew of your behavior with your mother, she would definitely go berserk. However, I can support you with my mother, as long as you can truly conquer her heart."
