Transmigrated as Investment Banker in Cultivation world

Chapter 177: Menial labour



Mary was satisfied by his reaction, and her gaze immediately softened, with a hint of tenderness appearing in her eyes.

In her heart, Mary felt bad for reacting so strongly, but she had no choice. Sometimes, you have to be strict in your actions; otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

It would be better for David to stay far away from immortals. It would be good if he never met them.

Although it was a selfish thought, Mary wished for such a peaceful life to continue forever. After all, what she had achieved in hundreds of thousands of years of relentless cultivation, in the end, she couldn\'t even control her own fate.

In her view, the life of mortals was peaceful, without the constant worry of death.

While the two were discussing, Zose had silently walked over and stood still, his head hanging down like a child who had been reprimanded by his parents.

David also noticed Zose\'s presence but didn\'t pay him attention for the time being, his eyes or rather his Divine sense were on the trio.

In the next moment, his eyes narrowed as he noticed a peculiarity. Although he could see a beautiful woman standing together with the father and daughter, his Divine sense failed to notice her presence, as if she didn\'t exist.

Just as he turned his gaze away from her, he even started to forget about her existence.

This was a feeling that he had never experienced before, and his heart rate unconsciously accelerated.

David immediately reacted and retracted his Divine sense, and coincidentally, at this moment, the eyes of the beautiful immortal woman were also on him.

"Ah! Young man, your actions are very rude."

A cold but playful voice resounded in his head like a demon\'s whisper. Hearing the voice, David felt a chill running down his spine and immediately turned his head to see where this voice was coming from.

Surprisingly, Mary and the others didn\'t seem to hear the woman\'s voice, as their expressions remained the same.

David immediately sighed once he realized this. Just as he was about to relax, the woman spoke once again.

"Little fellow, you are already at the Peak of Nascent Soul Realm, and you still don\'t know the basic sound transmission techniques?"

"Really? The damage caused by the Green Heaven Saint was so great that the world had not been able to recover after such a long time."

This time, the woman\'s voice was filled with pity and a faint sense of regret.

However, at the woman\'s words, David had the urge to roll his eyes. "Woman! You have just been freed from the coffin; shouldn\'t you be talking with your family?"

Of course, this is what David thought, because he was ignorant and couldn\'t understand the extent of an immortal\'s power.

With how powerful her consciousness was, she could perform hundreds of tasks simultaneously.

Right now, she had just spared David a glance, and most of her focus was still on her loving daughter.

Claire looked at her mother\'s beautiful figure and was feeling overwhelmed. She had thousands of questions that she wanted to ask, but she couldn\'t open her mouth and only looked at her dumbly.

In the next moment, the beautiful woman suddenly hugged her tightly. "My child, I have wronged you." Victoria looked at Claire lovingly and gently caressed her back.

Hearing her mother\'s voice and the warm touch on her back, Claire\'s shoulders shook, and she immediately started to sob like a little girl.

Father Theodore was mentally the same, but he managed to calm himself and took a deep breath.

In the next moment, he started to walk toward David with a serious expression on his face.

In just a few moments, Alchemist Theodore was in front of David, and he immediately performed a ninety-degree bow, saying in a deep voice, "I will remain eternally indebted to you."

Although his words were not loud, they resounded throughout the hall like thunder.

David hurriedly shook his head and claimed it was nothing, anyone would have done the same. Internally, however, he was immensely satisfied, especially after hearing the words "eternally."

He was sure even the Bank would also nod its head proudly at this scene.

Following Theodore\'s example, his daughter and the immortal wife Victoria also walked toward David after the end of their touching reunion and expressed their thanks.

"How did you manage to find the Nine Sun Branch? Such a treasure is extremely rare; you can even say that it\'s extinct," Victoria\'s eyes flashed with a strange light when she said those words.

She was not lying; it was completely impossible to find the Nine Sun Branch in the vast expanse region. She was genuinely curious, not just her, but everyone present, including the utterly miserable elder from the Whitetooth family, Zose.

Everyone\'s ears had perked up after hearing her question, and they intently looked at David, waiting for his response.

David felt great pressure after realizing that everyone\'s gaze was on him.

Ahem! He let out a fake cough and spoke with a solemn face.

"Actually, one day when I was going out for a walk, the branch suddenly fell from the sky," he said seriously.

Zose, after hearing his words, suddenly seemed to collapse to the ground.

What the hell? What do you mean by "fell from the sky"?

Seeing their disbelieving gazes, David could only spread his hands and let out a forced smile. He had no intention of explaining further.

Victoria also realized that the young man had no intention of explaining, so she decided to drop the matter. It was rude to interrogate her savior just after he had saved her. .net

Mary was only slightly curious; she knew in her heart that it was just a matter of time before the secret would come out in the open on its own.

Meanwhile, Claire looked at David with a complicated expression on her face. The reward that her father had promised included her hand in marriage, and she didn\'t resent it, as the decisions had been made with her consent.

But now that her mother had been saved, she didn\'t know how to feel.

"Let\'s go, everyone," David suddenly said. He had decided to return to the Bank; there was no point in staying here, and as for the reward, he was sure the Alchemist would go back on his words.

Borrito also nodded, saying he had gotten bored of this place and wanted to get out as fast as possible.

Mary also readily agreed.

"And you follow me," David suddenly looked at Zose and said in a cold voice.

The man shivered in fright after hearing David\'s words, realizing his good days had come to an end.

...

Three months have passed since that incident.

Nightblade Avenue, inside the Bank of Eternal Origin.

"The fuck are you working so slow for? Move your hands a little faster!"

The voice of an arrogant duckling resounded throughout the large hall.

Zose, who was carefully mopping the floor, gritted his teeth in rage, but he didn\'t say anything.

In exchange for his life, he had decided to serve the Bank of Eternal Origin for a hundred years as menial labor.

After saying his words, Borrito arrogantly walked away, taking special care to step on the place Zose had just cleaned.

This little scene didn\'t go unnoticed by David, who was calmly sipping his coffee, but he didn\'t bother stopping Borrito. The guy should suffer a little bit.

At the other end of the large table, the three monstrosities were busy doing their own thing, each minding their own business, not interfering.

From what David could tell, Ruby was very close to breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm, and the other two weren\'t far off either.

At the bank\'s entrance, Lucas and the Origin Guard stood, the former with his eyes closed as he meditated. He seemed to be turning into a second Origin Guard as time passed.

Of course, David welcomed this development with open arms.

Overall, the bank\'s atmosphere was peaceful and harmonious.

Just as he was about to place the cup on the table, a blue screen appeared in front of his eyes.

[Regretfully! You lost one of your clients today. However, the Bank of Eternal Origin can never suffer a loss.

Even if he died, the client will have to pay back somehow; therefore, his soul was captured. You now have the following options. Keep in mind that you can only choose one:

1 - Extract Client\'s Crystallion of Life (Super Knife, Grade - Uncommon)

2 - Extract Revks\'s memories from his birth till his death

3 - Any item that client owned in his lifetime

4 - Do Nothing, let the compound interest do its thing and decide again when the Client dies in his next life

Please note that capturing the soul and imprisoning it requires a large amount of mana, because of which you only have twenty-two hours left to make a choice.]
