Cry All You Want!

[Chapter 66]

A park in River City

David and Pearl were sitting by a river.

Pearl told David about what she had been through for over twenty years.

David listened quietly and did not speak.

"Mr. Lidell, aren't I stupid? I give them whatever they want! If I don't have the money, I'll just loan it from someone else and save up to pay back the loan," Pearl asked when she had finished.

"Miss Pearl, you're not stupid. You're just too sentimental! The more you give, the more they take it for granted," David said after pondering it.

"Perhaps! But I've decided to live for myself for the next few decades after I've lived the first twenty years for them!"

"Miss Pearl, please invite your parents to the hotel for dinner tomorrow! I should do a little something since they've come this far.

If you need money, just go to the finance department and get it. No matter what decision you make, I will support you!" said David.

"Thank you! Mr. Lidell!" Pearl cried as she leaned into David's arms.

She thought David would look down on her because she had such a family, but he did not mind at all.

Little did she know that David's parents had died when he was a child, and his life with Uncle Tres was not much better than hers.

However, he had his Aunt Diana and Aunt Sally, who doted on him. Pearl had no one, so his heart ached for her.

She had her family's best interests at heart but eventually found that they only used her as a tool to make money.

"Miss Pearl! Cry all you want! You'll feel better crying it all out!" said David as he patted Pearl on the back.

Pearl wept in David's arms for about half an hour before getting up.

She was embarrassed to see that the chest area of David's clothes was wet with her tears.

"Mr. Lidell, I'm sorry! I wet your clothes."

"It's alright! Miss Pearl, come on! Let's go back."

The two returned to South River International Residence.

They soon realized Sam and the rest had left.

"Mr. Lidell, I'll go find them!" Pearl wanted to leave after finishing.

However, David stopped her.

"Miss Pearl, didn't you say you're going to live for yourself from now on? You should learn to say no. They'll get more brazen if you go to them now. Besides, they're adults. Nothing will happen to them.

"Al… alright! Good night, Mr. Lidell!"

Pearl entered her room once she said this.

She thought David was right. Since she wanted to live for herself, she should learn to say no.

David lay on the bed.

He looked at the system panel in front of him.

(Lavish points: 190]

He had 190 lavish points left.

He wanted to improve himself quickly.

Making up his mind, he spent 50 lavish points on his body.

The body column went from 50 to 100.

Suddenly, David felt hot all over his body. It was as if ants were crawling in his muscles. He felt sore.

The feeling lasted a full five minutes before disappearing.

David felt as if he had just come out of the water while it soaked into his skin.

Then, he calmly spent another 50 lavish points on his mind.

His head instantly felt drowsy. It was as if he was drunk. David closed his eyes and lay quietly on the bed.

A few minutes later, David felt sober.

He opened his eyes.

"Hmm?

'My vision seems to have improved a lot!'

He used to be a little shortsighted.

However, he could now even see a mosquito on the ceiling three meters high. Not only could he see it, he could also see which foot the mosquito was moving.

How amazing!

David quickly looked at the panel.

His body and mind had reached 100 points, and they seemed to have reached the maximum limit. Even the plus sign had disappeared! 'Does that mean I can't upgrade them anymore?'

'No way!

'I can't upgrade them so soon?'

'I have so much money left. What can I use the lavish point on?'

'Upgrading skills?'

'I can't even add 18 Dragon Taming Punches. What am I going to do with it?'

'You know what? Forget it. I'll work on it later.'

He had a feeling the system was not that simple.

David woke up feeling sticky.

He went to the pool.

'Miss Pearl should be in bed by now!

'What the hell! I'll just strip naked and jump in the pool.'

'Amazing!'

He swam two laps and cleaned himself.

David got out and observed his body.

There were no changes and no prominent muscles.

However, David felt an explosive force in his body.

He had a feeling he could kill a cow with one punch.
