Transmigrated as Investment Banker in Cultivation world

While David was looking inside the storage rings to find something valuable, Sebastian arrived, carrying a petite young woman on his shoulders. Although curious about what David was going to do with her, he didn't ask.

After placing the woman on the ground, Sebastian patiently waited.

"What a poor bastard," David muttered in disdain after finding nothing of value inside the storage rings. "Was he carrying these storage rings for show?" Sadly, no one was going to answer his question.

Given that they attacked him early in the morning, the group must have must have been desperate.

After shaking his head in annoyance, he moved toward the girl lying on the ground.

Slap!

"Get up," David slapped the girl across her cheeks to wake her up.

The girl seemed to be already awake and was only pretending by closing her eyes. She hurriedly got up and looked at David fearfully.

"Sign this agreement." David coldly spoke and threw the spiritual agreement in her direction.

The girl caught the agreement with her shaking hands and looked at it.

"Loan of 100,000 thousand spiritual stones," she read out loud in a shaky voice, her mind in turmoil, especially looking at the bodies of her crew lying not far away from her.

"Hmph."

"Did I tell you to read it? Stop wasting my time and quickly sign it."

David coldly huffed and urged her to sign the agreement fast.

But the girl only looked at the agreement and didn't say anything.

The girl wasn't stupid; she could feel that there was something wrong with this agreement. Otherwise, he would not have forced her to sign it.

"You are going to die if you don't sign this agreement in ten seconds, and I will not repeat my words," David calmly announced.

"Kill me, but I am not going to do it," the girl said with newfound determination. The more David urged her, the more adamant she became in denying.

After hearing her words, David looked at her for a long time and silently thought.

Was he trying too hard?

"Alright." He muttered while sighing. Just as he was about to end her life for good, he was interrupted by Mary.

"Ah! Master, let me help you." Mary walked closer to the girl and charmingly smiled, her eyes turning into two crescent moons.

"Ara, ara... Don't be a bad girl."

"You have to follow master's instructions. If the master tells you to do something, you have to do it without asking."

Mary's eyes were devoid of any emotions when she uttered her last words. Her usual playful demeanor had completely disappeared, replaced by a cold and impossibly calm face.

As she got closer to the petite girl, her eyes started to glow with white light.

The girl felt a cool energy invading her mind like a parasite. Realizing the severity of the issue, she tried to resist.

If someone from the Vast Heaven region were to see her struggle, they would have surely laughed at her ignorance.

Trying to resist the Empress of Charm!

How laughable!

And in the next moment, the girl's eyes turned blank.

"Sign the agreement." Mary lightly ordered.

The girl instantly followed her instructions without delay.

David instantly received the notification from the bank of successful loan disbursal.

But David ignored it for the time being. He and Sebastian looked at her with a strange look in their eyes.

"Will I be able to resist her control?" David couldn't stop himself from asking such a question.

David made a mental note of trying to find out how to defend against such an attack in the future.

But in reality, David didn't have to worry too much about it. The last time someone tried to attack his mind, they died a miserable death.

Now, he couldn't kill this woman, nor could the ancient trio, as they were part of the bank.

Of course, not in a literal sense. If they killed her, it would be useless as the recovery option wouldn't pop up.

"She won't try to run away, right?" David looked at Mary, who calmly stroked the girl's chin as if she were her new toy.

"Don't worry, Master."

"Now she's an obedient little girl. She won't do anything."

David nodded at her words and sighed once again.

He was even more tired after dealing with this useless bunch, but he couldn't stay at this place any longer due to obvious reasons.

The five of them started to move once again and only stopped when they found a lake.

The lake water was pristine, devoid of any pollution.

There were clear signs of humans around the lake; however, it wasn't unexpected as the lake was located beside the route leading to Ashwood City. It was normal for people to stop by the lake.

The sun was already high up in the air, scorching the ground below. A gentle breeze blew, creating small ripples on the lake's surface.

The scene had a calming effect on David's mind, which was under a lot of stress.

"Alright! Everyone, let's have a cup of coffee together."

David loudly said to attract the attention of Sebastian and others who were washing up in the lake.

Beside him was the Origin Guard, who was keeping an eye on the girl.

David bought the cheapest set of tables and chairs that he could find in the shop.

In the next moment, four chairs and a circular table made out of some unknown material appeared in front of David, as always.

David sat down on one of the chairs and waited for the others to arrive.

He bought a coffee for himself and lightly sipped. With a single sip, David felt all the tension and fatigue washing away like snow under the sun.

A content and satisfied smile appeared on David's handsome face.

A single cup of coffee was enough for him to forget about his hardships.

"Master, do you have some clothes for me?" At this time, Mary arrived and asked in a voice that was sweeter than honey.
