Transmigrated as Investment Banker in Cultivation world

Unknowingly, it was already night-time. The silvery rays of the moon lit up the surroundings.

Compared to day, the streets of Deadwood City were even more lively at night.

Something similar to streetlights kept the road and shops running.

David's mood eased; he preferred nightlife more in comparison to the day. Now, in a good mood, he forgot about the lady in the green gown and started walking happily, while humming a tune.

After some time, he finally arrived near his bank. However, the scene in front of the bank caused him to frown.

Dozens of fierce-looking men, dressed in black coats were coldly looking at the entrance of the bank. Each of them were holding a sword in their hands; anyone could tell with a glance their intentions weren't good.

Moreover, some of them appeared to be cultivators.

And, as to why they were waiting at the entrance instead of charging inside was a mystery.

However, David didn't have to wait for long, and he soon found his answer.

A man came running toward the group from a distance. Similar to the group, he was also dressed in a black coat.

The man got closer to the leader of the group and said something. David wasn't able to hear everything properly due to the distance between them, but he understood one or two things.

He was talking about permission and bringing local officials who maintained law and order in this market.

"Hmmm! So, they were waiting for the right moment to attack."

David muttered under his breath. Vigilant, he started backing away a little, not daring to attract attention.

First, he needed to assess the level of danger. He didn't want to deal with anything beyond his control.

Eyeing the leader of the group, he requested a status report from the bank.

[Warning! Hostile intent from the target detected]

[Charges for status report are waived as the target is a direct threat for the foundation of the bank.]

[Target- Clio henchmen]

[Cost- nil]

[Yes/No]

David instantly proceded with the status report, and window displaying the status of Clio henchmen appeared in front of him.

[Name - Mat Henry

Age - 21

Potential - G grade

Cultivation - Body Refining Rank 2

Crystallisation of Life - Minor inconvenience.

Investment Grade - Junk

Remark - Following his boss' orders to reclaim the bank building. Please neutralise the target quickly.

Affiliation- Black Horse Trading Company]

David first sighed with relief. The leader of the group Mat Henry was just at body Refining Rank 2, he was just a minor inconvenience.

While David was examining the status report, the group wasn't idle. They started charging towards entrance of the bank led by Mat Henry.

"Dammit, how dare a no-name bank try to take the building which our Black Horse Trading company had its sights on."

"Owner come the fuck out, and kowtow three time in front of us, and we might show little mercy."

Mat Henry shouted with a ruthless grin on his face.

Hearing his words, strange smiles appeared on the faces of his subordinates. They were aware of the weird fetish of the boss Henry, giving false hope to the target.

"I am going to smash this place if you don't come out here right now." Mat arrogantly raised his sword above his head. He wanted to strike terror in the heart of the bank owner. From what he had heard, the owner of this bank was just a poor mortal.

To him this task was already finished, but he wanted to toy with the mortal for enjoyment.

However, after repeatedly shouting, there was no reaction from the bank. Mat's expectations of the mortal running down  and kowtowing did not come true.

Mat was furious. How dare a mere mortal ignore his words? He felt as if the crowd behind was gloatingly looking at him.

Unknown to Mat, his life was going to take a u- turn before he could even realise it.

Just as Mat was about to enter the bank and punish the mortal for his audacity, a towering behemoth dressed in full plate body armour appeared in front of them and blocked their way.

"Warning! Intruder detected."

"Initiating stage One protocol."

The last thing that Mat heard was a ghostly voice before a sword hit him directly on his chest, sending him flying along with his group.

The rest of the people who weren't directly hit by the sword felt as if their mind wind was being hit by a sharp nail and fainted on the spot.

The gap between the Origin Guard and Clio's henchmen was huge. The origin Guard practically didn't need to do anything to take care of them.

His actions weren't deadly as the guard judged the threat to be minimal and thereby adopted softer measures to deal with the problem.

When the Origin Guard was done dealing with Clio's henchmen, David came out of the shadows and looked at the scene with a serious face.

Looking at the people scattered on the ground, he realised a serious problem. If these people, instead of targeting the bank, had targeted him directly, then the consequences would have been unimaginable.

David suddenly felt a sense of urgency in his heart. He couldn't afford to delay his cultivation any longer.

Origin Guard couldn't be at two places simultaneously; either he could guard the bank or stay with him.

Taking a deep breath and calming down his raging thoughts, David walked toward the unconscious Mat and crouched down.

David started checking his body to find anything useful.

After searching for a minute, he found a pouch in his back pocket filled with spirit stones.

David weighed the pouch with his hand to estimate the number of spirit stones in it.

According to his guess, there were barely a thousand spirit stones in the pouch.

"What a poor scumbag."

David cursed and started searching bodies of the other members.

After half an hour, he was done and he managed to find roughly 5,000 spirit stones. After placing these stones with the bank, he ordered the Origin Guard to throw these people away from the bank.
