Transmigrated as Investment Banker in Cultivation world

[Crystallization of Life needed for Breakthrough - 680/4000]

David turned his head away, and the window disappeared.

"Well, it was time to welcome the guest," David muttered with a smile on his face. With how powerful his divine sense was now, he was long aware of Arthur and his group's motives and presence.

When he had first detected them, David was surprised for a moment; he wasn't expecting to encounter Emilia here.

Surprise was all that he felt, after all, their encounter had been very brief, so their relationship wasn't that deep.

At this time, the giant gates of the bank were forcefully pushed open, and three figures barged inside.

Lucas and Zose, who were playing chess on the sidelines, were caught by surprise by such rude actions.

Lucas was about to teach them a lesson when he suddenly felt a hand landing on his shoulder.

Surprised, he turned his head only to see Zose looking at him with a solemn expression.

"What's wrong with you, old man?" Lucas was puzzled by Zose's expression. During the past years, their relationship had gotten closer, but he had never seen such an expression on Zose's face.

Seeing the puzzled expression on Lucas's face, Zose had the urge to beat this bastard to death. No wonder he was still a lowly Golden Core Realm cultivator—after years, he had no foresight to judge the situation at all.

Zose ignored Lucas and focused on the three people at the entrance, each of them radiating a terrifying aura, especially the young-looking man at the front.

However, Zose wasn't afraid. If this was another place, then he might have already been here...

When his train of thought reached this point, his eyes subconsciously landed on the ten-feet-tall monstrosity dressed in glossy black armor.

The feeling that Origin Guard gave these days to Zose was completely different from anything he had ever felt before.

It was as if he was facing the world itself.

"Come out, let me see who is affecting our sect's fortune," an arrogant voice of a lady sounded. The one who had spoken was none other than the girl dressed in a fiery gown, her eyes filled with clear disdain.

During all this time, although the revenue generated by the bank had grown tremendously, the interior of the bank had remained the same as it was before, without any change.

So it was understandable why the girl's eyes were filled with disdain.

Her voice was low but still made the eardrums of Lucas and Zose tremble.

Although Arthur didn't say anything, his thoughts were no different from the girl's.

He was also interested in seeing who could affect the fortunes of an immortal sect such as his.

Although his Green Heaven sect had stood for hundreds of thousands of years, there would still be some creatures who could threaten the sect's fortunes in the future when they grew up. The task of Arthur and his team was to end these threats before they had the time to grow stronger.

Arthur's team wasn't the only one dealing with these threats, but there were many other such teams moving throughout the Vast Expanse Region.

It was only because of these efforts that sects like the Green Heaven sect could stand tall for hundreds of thousands of years without anyone shaking their foundation.

The tone in which the girl dressed in fiery clothes spoke greatly irked Lucas, and he couldn't stop himself from lashing out.

"How dare you cause a ruckus in the bank! Are you stupid or something?" Lucas was furious. He had never seen such arrogant people in the bank; everyone who came to the bank acted extremely humbly, some would even flatter him with exaggerated smiles on their faces.

Seeing Lucas's behavior, Zose internally sighed, "This idiot!"

Zose was sure David would be watching this scene secretly, so he also had to say something now; after all, he couldn't appear ungrateful.

"Respected madam, sir, please tell me about your problems. I would definitely solve them," Zose politely said. He could only act like this; he couldn't afford to offend either of the two parties.

As soon as Zose finished speaking, a cold and extremely chilly gaze landed on his body.

"With whose permission did you speak? Did I allow you to speak?"

These cold words sent a chill running down Zose's spine.

Zose suddenly regretted speaking; he suddenly had the urge to cry out loud.

What do you mean by permission? Lady, are you not too fierce?

"How arrogant!" Lucas furiously said. He was angered to death by the girl's words; she didn't seem to put them in her eyes at all.

At this time, a frown appeared on Arthur's face. Although he didn't like the girl dressed in fiery clothes, she was still his teammate.

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly looked ahead.

A man with long black hair was walking toward them at a leisurely pace, a small smile playing at the corner of his lips, his eyes seeming to be filled with intrigue.

Arthur's heartbeats unconsciously quickened, and beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. Surprised, Arthur raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead.

With each step that the black-haired young man took forward, the pressure that Arthur felt doubled.

Zose also sighed; he knew in his heart that he had disappointed David.

"Impossible! How could you be here?"

At this time, a surprised shock filled with utter disbelief resounded throughout the hall.

Emilia pointed her finger in David's direction and spoke with her mouth open wide. For a moment, Emilia thought she was hallucinating, but the scene in front of her was as real as it could be.

Hearing her surprised shout, Arthur, who was under tremendous pressure, suddenly looked in her direction with an inquisitive look in his eyes.

"Long time no see, Emilia. How are you these days?" David smiled and said in a casual tone, as if he didn't care about these guys' earlier attitude.

Emilia, who all this time looked cold and distant, suddenly had a lost expression on her face.

"So you're the disturbance. Never knew even a Foundation Building Realm cultivator could become so annoying in the future," the girl dressed in fiery clothes haughtily spoke, not placing David in her eyes at all.

With her reaction, it also became apparent why Arthur didn't like her; such a woman was bound to attract trouble sooner or later.

Although David was already a mighty Yin and Yang Realm cultivator, he would still keep his outward realm at Foundation Building just to mess around and also make clients feel close and comfortable in chatting with him.

That didn't mean he would tolerate disrespect. Hearing the fiery girl's words, a frown appeared on his face.

He glanced at her briefly and then turned towards Emilia and slowly said.

"Emilia, on account of our past relationship, I can let this girl's rude behavior slide once, but if she acts like this again, I will personally break her legs and throw her out." David spoke with an easygoing smile on his face, as if his words didn't contain a naked threat at all.

"What did you say?"

A furious expression appeared on the girl's face and she said, David words seem to have touched her bottomline and greatly angered her.

"I thought you were only dumb but turns out you are deaf as well."

"Truly pathetic! What sins you must have committed in your previous life to end up in such a state."

Although it didn't suite his image, this time he went all out and verbally attacked her.

His words seemed to have worked as the girl's face was filled with indescribable fury, at this moment she wanted nothing more than to tear apart David like a doll.

It was at this moment, Arthur who had been quiet all this time, suddenly spoke, "Quickly kowtow and beg for senior forgiveness."

Arthur ruthlessly barked these words with stone cold face, he had realized David wasn't someone he couldn't afford to offend.

Although David's existence threatened sect fortune, but that sect's problem not his, he wasn't going to sacrifice himself just for this.

Arthur looked at the situation from the practical point of view, offending David was just plain stupid.

David could deduce the young man's thoughts and was amazed by the man's ability to adapt to the changing situation.

When he realized the situation was not in his favour, he was immediately ready to change sides to save his skin.

This time the girls dressed in fiery clothes was greatly shocked and looked at Arthur in confusion, not understanding why he was saying such words.

Arthur looked at her reactions and sighed in his heart, she was truly a naive girl.

Lucas also wasn't accepting the situation to change this fast, after all neither Dvaid or Origin Guard had taken action.

"I can't accept this, I will not apologize" the girl suddenly said, she had also realized that she was in trouble, Arthur behavior was too strange but still she couldn't apologize.
