Transmigrated as Investment Banker in Cultivation world

David, however, shook his head. Right now, he was in front of such a huge crowd; if he agreed to her terms so readily, it was going to negatively affect the bank.

When his train of thought reached this point, David became even more sure of his decision.

Moreover, he wasn't afraid of the so-called Void Refining experts; he also wanted to see what they were really capable of.

After witnessing David rejecting her offer wordlessly, a frown appeared on Red Lotus' face.

The crowd also wasn't able to stomach David's decision, and soon murmurs broke out once again.

"Who does this man think he is? Is he not afraid of angering the Void Refining expert? What if she goes on a rampage and kills us all?" Someone disgruntled said, his words true to some extent. If she really wanted to do something like this, no one present could stop her.

Following the example, many followed suit and started to loudly curse David for being shameless and greedy.

David looked at this scene without any emotion. At the same time, he also made a mental note of people who were shouting the loudest.

Red Lotus coldly harrumphed; she was starting to get annoyed by this young man's shamelessness.

Suddenly, the temperature around them seemed to have plummeted by tens of degrees, as if someone had suddenly flipped a switch.

The air seemed to have frozen, and beautiful crystals of ice started to appear in the surroundings.

David felt his blood run cold, but he still didn't budge, although he was feeling a little angry in his heart.

Just because she didn't like the price that he had quoted, she was willing to use force.

Just how narrow-minded she was!

"Manager!" Sebastian suddenly spoke in a solemn voice while looking at David.

Tendrils of golden mana had started to appear around Sebastian's body like golden dragons dancing in the wind.

Even the always playful Mary looked ready to burst out with power.

Ruby, although still aloof, but David knew if he ordered, she would lend him her strength.

Borrito was still unaffected by the pressure that Red Lotus was radiating, but he wasn't stupid. He could tell by the crowd's reaction that the situation wasn't good.

At this point, everyone seemed to have completely ignored the glowing screen.

The little girl beside Red Lotus felt helpless; she knew at this point her mother wouldn't listen to her.

As the crowd's hearts were about to burst from pressure, Red Lotus suddenly smiled, and the pressure disappeared from the surroundings like it never existed.

"Hmm! My little niece wasn't lying; you truly are no ordinary individual," Red Lotus gave David a deep look and meaningfully said.

Her words were loud and clear, heard by everyone present.

Once the girl beside Red Lotus heard her mother's words, her eyes seemed to have lit up with a strange light. She looked at David again, this time with deep interest.

"So this is the man the Elder was talking about."

Her unconscious muttering didn't go unnoticed. Red Lotus heard her innocent daughter's words and smiled, saying, "Don't worry, my little darling. I won't let history repeat itself."

David didn't know that he had already become famous in the Morgan family, one of the powerhouses of Nightblade City.

Sebastian also sighed with relief. Although he wasn't afraid of mere Void Refining experts, if he could avoid the battle, he would gladly do so.

The crowd also once again started to discuss among themselves.

"Who are these people?"

To be able to talk with a Void Refining cultivator so casually was something that all the people present could only dream of.

In the next moment, Red Lotus threw a pouch towards David.

David raised his hand and caught the pouch while looking at the woman in puzzlement.

"Let my daughter talk to that man," Red Lotus spoke, as if understanding what David's look implied.

David nodded; this was the best course of action that they could take.

He opened the pouch to take a look, and indeed there were hundreds of shining mid-grade spirit stones lying inside.

However, now he was used to seeing such wealth, so it didn't affect him much. If he had received such an amount of money in the past, he would have jumped in joy like a kid.

This little detail didn't go unnoticed by Red Lotus.

"Interesting." David's reaction was against her expectations, but not entirely.

David at this time looked at Lucas lying on the ground like a poor drunkard who had lost his soul.

Now that he had accepted the payment, it was time to make him talk.

Just as he was about to slap him, Red Lotus' voice echoed in the surroundings.

"Don't worry, I will take care of him."

Suddenly, a strange force seemed to wrap around unconscious Lucas' body and lifted him up in the air.

As if being lifted by an invisible cane, Lucas moved and arrived in front of Red Lotus' daughter.

"Sweetie, ask him whatever you want."

Hearing her mother's words, the innocent girl nodded solemnly.

Sebastian looked at this scene and sighed again.

"Manager, you should be careful while dealing with these cultivators at the Void Refining Realm," Sebastian got close to David and spoke in a barely audible voice.

"Yeah, Sebastian is right. At the Void Refining stage, cultivators' bodies go through tremendous change," Mary also chimed in from the sidelines.

Although Ruby didn't speak, her face seemed to say the same thing.

After this short incident, the crowd's attention was also back at the huge screen. They had long taken notice of Angelica's promotion to the next stage.

"At this rate, this girl will clear the stage and take whatever treasure is inside of it."

The crowd was starting to get worried; it was difficult to watch someone get rich while you yourself remained poor.

"Don't worry, I heard the young generation of the Darkbell family and Morgan family are also going to participate."

After hearing these words, the crowd regained their lost confidence. As to why no one from the Truth Seeker formation organization was participating, the organization rarely interacted with outside events, focusing mostly on formations.

Time continued to pass. Soon, half an hour passed in the blink of an eye. The Dimension gate started to shake once again.

"Borrito, it's your turn to go," Mary poked the arrogant duck's head and spoke from the sidelines.

Although a little nervous, Borrito nodded its little head.

David also looked at the duck with worry. He had earlier asked if he really wanted to go and had asked Borrito to reconsider his decision, but the duck was adamant in its decision.

So he could only give up.

Under the eyes of David and the other three monstrosities, Borrito made his way toward the portal while holding a cigarette in his hand.

The sight looked quite comical: a small duck slowly moving with the sea of people.

David didn't turn his head away until Borrito completely disappeared into the Dimension gate.

"Here is that little bastard," Suddenly he heard Mary's loud shout.

She was pointing at one of the corners of the huge screen with a small smile on her face.

It appeared their relationship wasn't as bad as it appeared on the surface.

David followed the direction which her finger was pointing at and soon found the figure of Borrito slowly making his way through the huge hall, albeit a little nervously.

Suddenly, the scene on the screen changed, and out of nowhere, five figures dressed in leather armor surrounded Borrito.

Witnessing the changing situation, a guilty feeling rose in his heart. He felt as if he had sent his child to the battlefield without any rhyme or reason.

Meanwhile, back inside the spiritual space, the duck's eyes suddenly narrowed, and his grip on the cigarette automatically tightened.

He vigilantly looked at the surroundings. Suddenly, Borrito jumped to the side.

Bang! Right where he was standing a moment ago, a figure clad in black landed.

"Come out!" Borrito wasn't afraid and loudly commanded.

Following his words, a small glowing circle filled with a multitude of runes appeared below his fluffy feet.

This was Borrito's innate formation filled with all his insights on the path of formation.

Suddenly, the formation rose from below and merged with his small body.

"One Star Formation - Light Enhancement"

Following the merger, Borrito's body suddenly seemed to have gotten a little bigger, his flippers a little shiny as if they had received a small upgrade.

Meanwhile, outside the Bloodmoon Ancestor spiritual space, Mary almost jumped in joy.

Formations which enhanced the body's fighting capability were difficult to master, and what was even harder was to use these formations to improve your own body's physical fitness, as most of the time they were used by formation masters on others.

David also looked at this scene with interest, not really understanding the significance of this scene.

However, unlike David, there were many people who were paying attention to David's gang after the short incident.

"Am I seeing things? What sort of formation master is this duck?"

"Can formations be also used in this way?"
