Emily Sullivan's attitude made the burly man's expression improve quite a bit. He snorted and said nothing more.

However, while the burly man stayed silent, someone else snorted and said, "Emily Sullivan, you've already been fired. Let me tell you, no one in the whole Donglu Town will let you work for them."

"You ruined someone else's mink fur and won't admit it—shame on you!"

The speaker was John Miller, who at this moment looked utterly indignant.

The onlookers around were all whispering, and since Emily Sullivan was not a particularly aggressive person, seeing the villagers pointing and gossiping, she felt a bit embarrassed.

"Smack!" A slap landed hard on John Miller's face, so loud that John Miller was caught off guard and sent flying.

"You... you... how dare you hit me!"

John Miller spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, gritting his teeth, but his mouth was now leaking air. Some even saw a few teeth in his spit.

"I hit you, and if you keep spouting nonsense, I'll kill you!" David Bennett shouted angrily.

"Officer Li... you... you heard that, he said he wants to kill me!" John Miller suddenly spotted a middle-aged man in a police uniform walking over and immediately cried out in misery.

"For this kind of troublemaking punk, Officer Li, you really need to teach him a lesson!"

Officer Li was the policeman in charge of this area, and seeing him approach, many people sighed for David Bennett.

Officer Li and John Miller had a pretty good relationship.

Officer Li's gaze fell on David Bennett. He was stunned at first, then a slight smile appeared: "You... are you Mr. David Bennett?"

"I am David Bennett!" Seeing Officer Li's reaction, David Bennett understood a bit and nodded lightly.

"Smack!" Without another word, Officer Li turned and slapped John Miller across the face: "John Miller, how dare you threaten Elite Bennett? Do you know that just this charge alone is enough to detain you for a hundred days?"

"Kneel down and apologize!"

Elite Bennett? Emily Sullivan looked at her beloved son, a proud smile appearing on her face.

"Let me tell you all, Mr. David Bennett has already mastered the Ape-Dragon Foundation Diagram. After passing the Xinglong Army's assessment, he is now an elite of our Grand Federation."

Officer Li waved his hand as he spoke: "This is the second elite to appear in Donglu Town in nearly twenty years."

Grace Howard was stunned, and so was Grace Howard's father. Almost everyone was dumbfounded.

An elite—David Bennett!

David Bennett opened his bag, took out five thousand yuan, and handed it to Grace Howard's father: "Grace Howard has taken good care of me, and she even spent money on me yesterday. Please, Uncle, take this money and use it."

Five thousand yuan! For many people in Donglu Town, this was an eye-popping sum. For a moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on Old Man Howard.

"Mom, this is the bank's employment form. Fill it out when you get home, and go to work at the bank tomorrow. I've already arranged it." David Bennett casually handed the employment form from his bag to his mother.

At this point, no one would be foolish enough to doubt David Bennett's words. They all knew that, with David Bennett's elite status, it was perfectly normal for his mother to receive such treatment.

The bank was the most enviable workplace in all of Donglu Town.

In the eyes of Donglu Town's residents, those who worked at the bank were high and mighty. And now, David Bennett had just become an elite, and his mother was entering the bank.

Emily Sullivan held the notice stamped with the bank's seal, feeling as if she was overwhelmed by a tremendous sense of happiness.

John Miller watched all this, his eyes full of fear. He never expected that the insignificant David Bennett would suddenly transform into a terrifying beast that no one could afford to provoke!

"As for John Miller, isn't he supposed to be detained for a hundred days? Then lock him up. I'm not a generous person!"

David Bennett looked at Officer Li, half-smiling.

"Elite Bennett, rest assured, I will make sure to take good care of Boss Miller." Officer Li replied respectfully, beaming.

Watching John Miller being taken away fiercely by Officer Li, David Bennett's desire for power grew even stronger.

He was determined to reach the very pinnacle of strength!

Chapter 9: Great Increase in Strength

A three-bedroom house with a large garden became the new home of the David Bennett family before sunset.

"Big brother is amazing!" Anna Bennett was full of excitement, happily darting from one room to another. Her joyful appearance gave David Bennett a great sense of accomplishment.

Mother Emily Sullivan was preparing dinner, and from the kitchen where golden deer meat was stewing, an intoxicating aroma wafted out.

Golden deer meat was truly a delicacy. Just thinking about it made David Bennett drool, but its price was truly headache-inducing.

Three thousand yuan per jin!

David Bennett had bought five jin at once, which meant fifteen thousand yuan was already gone, while this new house had only cost twenty thousand yuan.

A house, or a few jin of golden deer meat.

It sounded like a joke, but it was the truth. And according to the beast rankings, the golden deer was only the lowest D-class beast.

"Eat!"
