Transmigrated as Investment Banker in Cultivation world

A long trail of smoke rose in the air, slowly merging with the dark night sky.

Crack!

Fire raged and burned intensely; the sound of dry wood cracking and popping echoed in the surroundings from time to time.

David looked at the scene lost in thought, with orange flames dancing all around him.

Beside him were four people and a duck.

The duck's eyes at this time were focused intensely as he looked at his surroundings with awe and pride in his small beady eyes.

"My father is so capable! Who would dare to bully me in the future?"

While Burrito was thinking, the next moment his gaze landed on a white-haired woman with skin as white as snow.

Burrito suddenly shivered; the scenes of the battle a moment ago flashed in his head.

How a single gaze of the white-haired woman made those puny humans kill each other.

"But he still won't call her mother no matter what."

No one paid attention to the arrogant duckling's thoughts. All of their eyes were focused on the black-haired youth, waiting for him to speak.

Especially the skinny man who had accompanied Mr. Alex.

The skinny man was missing one of his arms, and his clothes were dyed in crimson blood; his eyes were filled with extreme fear as he looked at the man with gentle and graceful bearing.

The entire 7-day market was burned to the ground by David and his companions in cold blood.

All of the tents were looted and burned; whoever dared to resist was killed on the spot.

"Manager, these are all the rings that we have collected," Sebastian pointed at the hundreds of rings floating around him. These were all the rings that they had managed to find, each of them filled with alchemical ingredients and other precious items.

"You keep them with yourself," David lightly said without looking.

His mind was still filled with questions that had appeared in his head after Alex died.

Did he kill them, or did he free them from their suffering?

What was death even? Will they still be the same person when they reincarnated again?

What had really changed? They just lost their memories of their previous lives, but their souls were still the same.

So if he lost his memories, does that mean he died?

Does that mean his existence was only because of memories?

Some of these questions didn't even made any sense.

David's head started to hurt while thinking about all these things, and in the end, he shook his head.

"Lord~No, Emperor David, please forgive me." At this time, the skinny man cried and begged for forgiveness; the voice that came out of his throat was slightly hoarse.

"Of course, I will give you forgiveness. Just give me a good reason."

"And you're good to go," David plainly said. He wasn't lying; if this skinny man could give him a good reason, he would let the skinny man go and not bother with him.

Hearing David's words, the skinny man's expression stiffened.

What does he have that could satisfy him? He had nothing.

At this time, the skinny man only hoped that someone could come and save him.

After all, he had done whatever he could to buy time.

"Just a little more, I am sure the imperial army will definitely arrive here after all this commotion," the skinny man gritted his teeth and thought.

In the next moment, he started using the secret technique to transmit information.

Suddenly, David's gaze flashed; unknown information started to appear in his head.

"Nether Empire Recon."

Bang!

A chair struck the skinny man's body at insane speed, turning him into a meat patty.

David suddenly sighed with relief; thankfully, he had the Domain of Zenith Sovereign.

Otherwise, he would never have known the skinny man had secretly tried to send information.

As if it would have changed anything.

David suddenly felt the man was stupid; if he could have used the technique earlier, his chance of surviving could have increased greatly.

All this time, the monstrous trio looked at this scene without any emotion.

At least they have enough ingredients to cultivate to the peak of the Foundation Building Realm in peace, or so David thought.

Moreover, he had made a decent amount of money by selling the dead bodies to the bank.

Time continued to pass unhindered; the long grassland had disappeared, replaced by a blanket of white snow.

It had been a year since the 7-day market incident.

David turned twenty-three today. In this past year, his temperament changed a little bit, influenced by the three old fossils.

At this time, he was sitting in the open with a cup of coffee placed in front of him.

The chilly wind seemed to have no effect on David.

He was looking at the air with a dazed look in his eyes.

"Hmm! My guess was correct," David muttered in a low voice while looking at his status report.

At some point, his laws had merged together into the Law of Five Elements when he had achieved Embryo form in all of them.

The ugly duck wasn't completely useless; the smoke from its eternally lit cigarette greatly increased the speed at which he comprehended laws.

At this time, the duck was nowhere to be seen.

Some days ago, it left with Sebastian to check the situation in the Empire.

David was all alone; not even Mary and Ruby were with him. He didn't know why, but David felt incomparably peaceful alone.

Think about the Devil, and it will appear.

In the next moments, the Ancient Web of Mindfulness shook, and David felt the presence of a duck and man moving in his direction.

Sebastian and Burrito were back with important news.
