Transmigrated as Investment Banker in Cultivation world

The sun was shining in the sky. Like usual, Nightblade City was filled with hustle and bustle, with people moving in and out of the city in large droves.

It had been almost a week since David arrived in this city. During this period of time, he toured the city every day, and now he was quite familiar with it as a result.

The city had a population of fifty million people, most of them cultivators. Like every populous city, it was also filled with inequality to the extreme.

Of course, that had nothing to do with David. He was even happy with the situation as it was now; if everyone was wealthy, who would he give loans to?

"Are you sure you don't want to come?" David asked as he prepared to leave the inn where they were currently staying.

"Yeah, I won't be able to join you," Mary said and sighed.

"Okay," David nodded and walked out of the room.

It wasn't just Mary who wasn't going to join him; even Borrito had something to do today.

He would have to go alone, as Sylvie had also left some days ago.

If it was someone else, they might have complained about being left alone; however, David was someone who liked being alone.

Dressed in a white long suit with gold-trimmed sleeves, he walked out of the inn with a confident gait.

His black hair, which had grown long during this period of time, was tied together in a neat ponytail behind his head.

Other cultivators were dressed in traditional robes with a single sword hanging on their waist. David stuck out among the crowd like a sore thumb.

He attracted the eyes of everyone wherever he passed by.

The beautiful ladies would point their fingers in his direction and discuss something among themselves in hushed voices with excited expressions on their faces.

The young, hot-blooded men would coldly snort in disdain and turn their heads away in a huff.

The old cultivators who had reached the end of their lifespans smiled when their eyes landed on David.

David didn't care about these people's reactions and walked through the street with a confident gait. He could only walk, as flying in the city was strictly prohibited.

His destination was Nightblade Avenue, the most prosperous area of the city, filled with numerous high-profile stores like the Bald Monk Wine Shop and some other high-profile organizations.

Although he couldn't fly, his speed was insanely fast, covering hundreds of meters of distance in seconds. If David wanted, he could move at an even faster speed, but he didn't, as every time he tried to move at high speed, the golden floor beneath his feet would flicker with unknown symbols.

When David first witnessed this scene, he was confused and searched for information about it online.

"Nightblade Surveillance System? Huh!"

If your speed suddenly increased, you would become a target for surveillance, and your location would be sent to the law and order team to make sure you didn't try to run away after committing any crimes.

Although highly invasive, the system was highly effective. Even with so many cultivators present in Nightblade City, the weaker cultivators could still live peacefully.

While thinking about numerous things, David arrived at the pre-decided meeting point.

Indeed, there was already a cultivator dressed in a neat grey robe standing with a patient expression on his face.

This was Nemo, an agent who was going to show him a suitable place for rent.

Nemo seemed to have noticed David, as immediately in the next moment, his eyes flashed, and he said in a loud voice, "Mr. David, here!" He flailed his arms in the air to attract David's attention.

David had already found him and was moving toward Nemo with a smile on his face.

"Ok! Now let's go," David said immediately after walking near him. He had no intention of wasting any more time.

Nemo was also someone who didn't like wasting time. Immediately after David's words, he led him toward Nightblade Avenue.

Nightblade Avenue was located in the middle of the city, sprawling over a large area that could easily fit hundreds of Smallsun villages.

It didn't take them long to reach their destination.

David also realized without being told by anyone where he was.

The air suddenly felt fresher and purer. The small streets that they had been walking through all this time suddenly widened.

Every single building built in this place screamed wealth.

Moreover, the golden floor seemed to have comparatively even more runes than before.

The floor shone under the bright light of the sun.

"Mr. David, follow me," Nemo said without dilly-dallying, leading him to a small-looking building to the side.

"Here, Mr. David, this is a D-grade building owned by the Truth Seeker Formation organization," Nemo started, showing David various buildings.

"It comes with size-adjustable formations pre-installed."

Nemo went on to explain at great length all the information about the building that David needed to know.

"As this is a D-grade building, its contract can change anytime," Nemo spoke with a sigh.

D-grade buildings would have been sold like hot cakes if not for this clause.

Every residential area in Nightblade Avenue was divided into four grades: A, B, C, and D, with A-grade enjoying all the best-class facilities.

"It's quite expensive for a D-grade building. Show me something better. Moreover, it should be somewhere at a prominent location," David spoke while deeply looking at Nemo. Did this guy think he was a pauper? At this thought, his eyes unconsciously narrowed.

"Ok, Mr. David," Nemo calmly nodded and led him to another two-story building.

Compared to the previous building, this seemed to be made entirely out of violet crystal.

"This is the best B-grade building that is currently available."

"It is fitted with world-class formations, handmade by the experts from the Truth Seeker Formation organization. As is the case with our building, this place is also owned by the Truth Seeker Formation organization."

Not to say anything about this small building, Nightblade City was completely owned and controlled by the Truth Seeker Formation organization.

The surveillance system and sky missile formations were all the brainchild of this organization.

It wasn't like there weren't any other organizations besides the Truth Seeker Formation organization. There were some other individual families and organizations like the Alchemist sect and Bald Monk Wine Shop, but all of them paled in comparison to the local overlord.

"Rent!" Before Nemo could start babbling nonsense, David cut him off and then asked the most important question.

"It is quite cheap for a month. You only have to pay ten mid-grade spirit stones or a million low-grade spirit stones. Moreover, the price is non-negotiable."

When Nemo said those words, his eyes seemed to flash with a strange light. If this deal succeeded, he would get a percentage of the rent as a commission.

David's expression remained unchanged even after hearing the exorbitant amount. He had already expected the rent to be sky-high, so Lucas' words came as no surprise.

Still, he sighed internally. The mission to make the bank the richest organization in the world suddenly seemed to have become even harder.

"Ok, let's finalize this building," David said in the end. There was no point in wasting any more time; he suddenly would not get a better deal out of nowhere.

"Understood, Mr. David. Please wait for a few minutes while I prepare the contract," Nemo immediately started to rub his palms together in excitement and hurriedly said.

At this time, two people dressed in yellow robes suddenly appeared beside David.

One man and one woman, both of them in their mid-twenties with long, flowing black hair.

"Today, I, Rin Morgan, represent the Morgan family, and I am here to rent this building on the Morgan family head's behalf."

The one who spoke was the woman. Her tone was confident and slightly rude at the same time.

"Morgan Family?" Nemo' eyes immediately darkened.

Although David was still new in the city, he had also heard about the Morgan family.

While David and Nemo were feeling surprised, the woman, Rin Morgan, hurriedly walked towards Nemo and threw a pouch in his direction.

"Take this pouch. There are sixty mid-grade spirit stones inside of it, advance payment for six months."

At this time, David wasn't paying attention to her. His complete focus was on the window in front of him.

[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 (Rugius, Grade - Uncommon)
