Transmigrated as Investment Banker in Cultivation world

Beside him, Sebastian was patiently waiting for his turn to speak. Seeing that he wanted to say something, David nodded in his direction. After getting his permission, Sebastian bowed and placed a stack of paper in front of David.

"Manager, this is the report of recent events while you were absent."

David raised his eyebrows at his words and casually picked up the paper to take a look. The report was neatly prepared in beautiful handwriting, detailing the visitors to the bank during his absence.

"Thank you, Sebastian, you have worked hard." David looked at him and showered him with praises. Hearing David's words, Sebastian's face didn't change. He remained calm and collected, merely bowing as a sign of acknowledgment.

Going through the report, David realized the bank's business wasn't doing well. But it was to be expected; people wouldn't easily trust a financial institution that had recently emerged on the scene. After reviewing the report once, he placed it back on the table and closed his eyes.

David started to review his life since coming to this world. All of his actions had been on a whim and lacked a clear purpose. There was no ideology behind his actions. He was like a lost duck in the ocean, going wherever the current took him.

In this last mission, he realized many of his shortcomings. Firstly, he survived only because of his dumb luck.

Secondly, he had too little information. He lacked combat experience and only managed to defeat his opponent because of the element of surprise. He didn't even know how the Crystallisation of Life worked.

After being in this world for so long, he barely knew anything about it. Things couldn't go on like this. If he didn't change, his luck might not help him next time.

David's mind was flooded with thousands of questions. Sebastian and Mary didn't disturb him as they realized he was deeply lost in thought. Everything else could wait, but first, he needed to answer the most important question: What did he really want to achieve in his life? What was his goal? Did he want to become rich?

But what was the point of becoming rich when a random stranger could kill him and steal all his wealth?

David realized he didn't have a clear answer for that. After thinking for some time, he stopped and got up from his seat.

It was a question that couldn't be easily answered, so there was no point thinking about it. The first thing he was going to do was collect information.

With this thought in mind, he paid 10,000 spirit stones to the bank, and a status report appeared in front of him.

[Name: Sebastian Darkheaven

Age: 50,000

Potential: SS grade

Cultivation: Body Refining Rank 9

Crystallisation of Life: Darkheaven Transformation

Investment Grade: SS

Remark: Sinner of Darkheaven Empire, he with his own hands killed every single being in his Empire. His actions drew the ire of a supreme expert who vanquished his cultivation and threw him in the auction to be sold as a slave.]

David's eyes almost popped out of their sockets when he read the status report. Shocked senseless, he pinched his hand to make sure he wasn't dreaming. Only when he felt slight pain did he realize he wasn't dreaming.

After reading the end of the report, he looked at Sebastian, who was gracefully standing with a calm look on his face. He couldn't believe the gentle-looking man in front of him was a mass murderer.

After calming down, he closed the window.

[Request for status report.]

[Target: Mary Suian]

[Cost: 10,000 spirit stones]

[Yes/No]

He once again paid 10,000 stones, and this time his target was Mary.

[Name: Mary Suian

Age: 110,000

Potential: SSS grade

Cultivation: Body Refining Rank 9

Crystallisation of Life: Empress of Charm

Investment Grade: SSS

Remark: Single-handedly responsible for the complete destruction of multiple empires, another murder hobo.]

"110,000 years old," David thought, his expression darkening. Things weren't looking good for him.

"What is wrong with you, you moronic bank?" David cursed the bank in his head. He didn't know where the bank brought these people from.

At this time, Mary noticed David looking in her direction. She charmingly smiled at him. Seeing her smile, David felt a chill run down his spine. He was afraid. What if Ruby also turned out to be another murder hobo?

David felt as if he was standing on fire. Gathering his courage, he paid the bank 10,000 spirit stones again. Instantly, another window popped up in front of him. After taking a look at the window, David almost fainted.

[Name: Ruby Vermillion

Age: 1,000,000+

Potential: SSS grade

Cultivation: Body Refining Rank 9

Crystallisation of Life: Burning Desire

Investment Grade: SSS

Remark: Last living member of Vermillion clan, her heart is filled with vengeance. She will not stop until she finds the culprit behind her clan's demise.]

"Fuck! A million-year-old monstrosity." David shouted in his head like a maniac. He had a feeling that the bank wasn't safe anymore.

If not for the fact that he had absolute control over the three of them, he would have already escaped. Without even looking at the two of them, David hurriedly left for his room.

After seeing the status report, he wasn't in the mood to do anything. He needed some time to cope with the situation he found himself in.

While looking at David's back, Sebastian's eyes flashed with a mysterious light.

"How is this whiny kid going to help me?" Sebastian thought while frowning. Shaking his head, Sebastian could only trust the clown-faced man's words; after all, his life depended on it.

Mary, on the other hand, maintained her smiling face the entire time. No one could tell what she was thinking.
