Transmigrated as Investment Banker in Cultivation world

While they were contemplating, David was going through the notifications he had missed. Most of them were useless, but he quickly found the one he was looking for.

This was the notification he had received when Bryan was vaporized.

[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 (Money Talks, Grade - Uncommon)

2 - Extract Bryan'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 as capturing the soul and imprisoning it requires a large amount of mana because of which you only have two hours left to make a choice.]

When David read the last line, his eyes shook, and his heart felt heavy.

The last option was the most ruthless, if exercised correctly.

If he didn't exercise his option again when Bryan died next time, the earlier sum might have turned into something that Bryan could never hope to repay.

"50,000 spirit stones compounding at the rate of 50 percent per month." He couldn't even imagine how much that would become in a couple of hundred years.

Maybe this was the real horror of the Bank of Eternal Origin.

Ever since he had witnessed the miraculous power of Domain Zenith Sovereign, he had unconsciously placed the bank in second position in his head.

It looks now he will have to re-evaluate.

Moreover, let's not even talk about the fourth option; the first option was enough to leave him speechless.

"Extract Crystallization of life."

"You mean Crystallization of life can be extracted." Now that he thinks about it, this option was even more sinister.

"That also means someone might also extract my own crystallization of life." At this thought, his eyes narrowed into two dots.

He couldn't ignore the possibility after all. The universe was filled with a myriad of weird abilities.

Second and third options also had their own benefits.

Now, David was in a difficult position; he didn't know what to choose.

But after thinking for a moment, he ruled out the first option.

Although he wasn't sure about the grades of Crystallization of Life, from its name, it didn't look useful or powerful.

And with that, David also eliminated the third and fourth options. Third, because he didn't know what items Bryan had in his possession, and fourth because he considered Bryan as his first friend.

If it was someone else, he wouldn't have to think much about it.

After weighing his options, he chose the second one, and the reasoning behind it was pretty simple. Of all the options present, it was the most practical one, given the fact he lacked important information about this world.

Here, Bryan's memories will surely come in handy.

[Please confirm your choice and find a suitable place to lay down as the process can take some time.]

[Yes/ No]

David hurriedly clicked on No; he didn't have the luxury to lay down.

In less than two hours, he will have to leave this place, or else he will lose this opportunity.

When he turned his eyes back to the trio, they were looking at him with weird expressions.

"Ahem! Sorry, I was lost in thought."

"Please share your thoughts."

David coughed and cleared his throat before speaking.

Recognizing the urgency of the situation, Sebastian refrained from commenting on his weird behavior just now.

"Manager, we need a diversion." Sebastian suggested. "If we can create a big enough distraction, we might be able to slip through the defenses."

When he said those words, his eyes were intently looking at the hulking monstrosity. The meaning behind his words was clear.

But David wasn't in a hurry; he patiently waited for Mary to speak.

But the words that came out of her mouth made him speechless once again.

"Why even bother with these cheap tricks? We can just bulldoze out of this place." Mary uttered those words with complete seriousness on her face.

David suddenly had the urge to facepalm, but he resisted and only rolled his eyes at her.

"Yeah, let's do that and get ourselves killed." David thought in his head and shook his head at her words.

"Okay! It's settled. The Origin Guard will attract their attention and create an opening for us to move."

"Three of you, be ready to move as soon as we have an opening."

With the plan in place, David ordered the Origin Guard to move out of the back door so as not to expose their current location.

Although the Origin Guard was over ten-feet-tall, despite that, when he moved, he created almost zero noise like a well-trained assassin.

The guard crossed tens of meters in the blink of an eye and appeared in the middle of the street.

Under the silvery rays of the moon, the Origin Guard looked extremely badass and domineering.

"Who are you?" One of the peak Foundation Building Realm Sithians seemed to have noticed the Origin Guard's presence and asked in an inquisitive tone as if the Origin Guard was going to answer his words.

Attracted by his words, the eyes of others were also focused on the Guard.

Instead of answering his question, a sword almost five feet tall appeared in the guard's hand. Without any hesitation, he slashed in the direction of one peak Foundation Building Realm Sithian.

Whoosh!

The sword drew a semi-circle in mid-air and split the air apart in two.

A long white slash filled with huge quantities of mana instantly appeared in front of the Sithians.

Within minutes, explosions and flashes erupted on the opposite side of the street.

"Now!" David commanded. They moved as one, dashing towards the city exit while the Sithian guards were busy dealing with the Origin Guard.
