I'm A Quadrillionaire novel Chapter 490

Chapter 490
When Lorraine heard that voice, she knew who it was without turning around.
It was her senior, Fred East, a man that was loved by many.
Fred was different from her because he was not a disciple that was brought back by the elders of the Krums. Instead, he was born and grew up in Krum Mountain.
Not only did he look refined and elegant, but he was also extremely talented. Plus, he held a noble identity.
Only their senior, Grant, was superior to him in Krum Mountain.
“Freddy,” Lorraine called out softly, her voice mellow and melodious.
Fred stood behind Lorraine, his eyes infatuated as he looked at her back.
In his heart, this woman was the gift given to him by the heavens.
Even though this gift did not belong to him yet, he believed that sooner or later, he would completely have this gift to himself, and no one could stop him.
Not even Grant.
“Are you thinking about going home, Lori?” Fred walked up behind her and said.
“Yeah. I haven’t gone back in a decade, so I wonder about what had happened at home. I wonder if they still remember that I exist,” Lorraine said.
“Don’t worry, Lori. They would not forget you, they might have even been waiting for you to go back. Don’t worry, I’ll always stay with you. I’ve already asked for permission to go down the mountain with you,” Fred said.
“You want to go down the mountain with me?” Lorraine turned her head and asked Fred.
“Yeah, my grandpa has agreed!” Fred looked at Lorraine’s beautiful face and said a little excitedly.
“Isn’t Grant going with me?” Lorraine asked curiously.
“Grant is still going, but I’m going too. Both of us are going down the mountain with you.”
“Oh!”
Lorraine did not speak after she replied. Then, she turned her head to continue to observe the scenery from far away that looked like a wonderland.
The mist was lingering around the towering mountains and precipitous ridges.
Fred did not speak anymore as he watched the scenery with Lorraine.
However, his mind was not on the scenery, but on the woman beside him.
No matter how breathtaking the scenery was, how could it compare to the woman beside him?
Originally, Fred was not the one who was supposed to go down the mountain with her, but when he learned that Grant would go, he went to his grandfather, Norman East.
He asked his grandfather for permission to accompany Lorraine down the mountain and said he wanted to see the outside world.
He could not leave Grant alone with Lorraine. Although there would be other elders following them, it would still be dangerous.
In his opinion, Grant was his biggest obstacle when it came to Lorraine..
He could never give them a chance to be alone.
Meanwhile, his grandfather, Norman, was the senior elder in the Krums that second only to the head. After Fred’s endless pestering, his grandfather had no choice but to agree to let him go.
– Besides, in Norman’s opinion, the hidden sects and families were coming out of hiding soon
and it would be better for Fred to go out early to see and experience it.
“Freddy, how many sects like ours are there in this world?” Lorraine asked.
“According to my grandfather, there are quite a few hidden sects and families like ours. He didn’t say how many, but the Krums are the top existence among the hidden sects,” Fred said.
“Then why did these sects and families hide from the world?”
“I heard that it was to avoid calamity. Some of them wanted to go out and occupy a place in this world, but they basically disappeared in the dust of history. Thus, it seems that staying hidden back then was indeed the best way to preserve strength.”
“I see, so when everyone comes out of hiding this time, will many hidden sects and families disappear into the annals of history?”
“Maybe, but don’t worry, Lori. The Krums have always been one of the top forces, and this has stayed true over time. We will only grow stronger and stronger. Those who disappear are the weak ones.”
“Just like how the weak are prey to the strong, right?” Lorraine murmured.
“Exactly, just like how the weak are prey to the strong. This will always be the unchanging truth, just like how the Krums will always be the strongest party,” Fred said confidently.
At this time, a voice sounded from below.
“Freddy, Lori, the head of the sect is summoning us!”
“Freddy, let’s go!”
