Chapter 15: D-day

The aura unconsciously released by the Origin Guard made Bryan's heart palpitate; he wasn't the only one to have this feeling.

Fiona was also looking at the Origin Guard with a grim expression on her face.

Without a shred of doubt, the ten-feet tall behemoth in front of her was at the peak of Foundation Building Realm.

But he was only at the Body Refining Realm last time she visited.

How could he suddenly jump to a major realm?

It was impossible.

"Or maybe he was at the peak of the Foundation Building Realm from the beginning." Sёarch* The NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Fiona finally understood. Thinking about it clearly, it wasn't impossible; after all, according to her previous analysis David was someone with cultivation above the Golden Core Realm.

She had to finally stop thinking about it as David finally arrived.

"You guys are finally here."

"I thought you had forgotten about my proposal."

David happily greeted them with a wide grin on his face. He flicked his wrist in an odd manner, and following his actions, a wooden box filled with cans of coffee appeared on the ground.

"Here are the goods. Due to shortage of supply, this is the best that I was able to do."

Bryan looked at the rows upon rows of small cylinders neatly placed in the wooden box in amazement.

This was his first time seeing such a strange way of storing things.

Fiona walked forward, and picked one of the cylinders from the box, and looked at it in wonder.

From a cursory glance, there were at least 50 such cans in the box.

She could feel the heat emitted by the hot coffee inside the cylinder.

"Ok, let's discuss important matters."

David's face turned serious. He wanted to finish the matter and train as soon as possible. His one-month deadline was fast approaching.

Bryan's face was also serious. He took a deep breath and nodded.

After a relatively long discussion of two hours, they finally agreed to split the profit in the ratio of 1:9. David would get 9 spirit stones out of 10 for example if they sold the coffee for 100 spirit stones, David would get 90 spirit stones and the remaining ten would go to Bryan.

An extremely good deal from David's perspective; at this point, this coffee was going to become a money-printing machine for David.

When both of them finally left. David fell onto one of the chairs exhausted, the negotiations were always the hard part of any deal.

During negotiations, David also understood how Bryan was able to stay in business for so many years despite being only a Body Refining Realm cultivator.

He had almost lost it when Bryan demanded a 50 percent share.

He was so speechless that he had forgotten to speak for a moment. It was only when David showed him his place in this deal that he reluctantly agreed.

There was also the role of Fiona; she seemed to have convinced Bryan, as it was only after she spoke did Bryan change his stance.

Anyways, the deal was finally sealed, so he wouldn't have to worry about finances for the short term.

Now that he was free, David decided to look at the reward that he had gotten after completing the bank mission.

He gently tapped on the first column of the inventory.

A white light flashed, and three people appeared in front of him.

"Greetings, master."

They bowed and respectfully greeted David.

Among the three, one was a man, dressed in a butler uniform with a neatly groomed beard, and the other two were beautiful women.

David was stunned by their beauty.

Both of them were dressed in black gowns, hiding their curvaceous figures. Their black shiny hair cascaded like a waterfall behind their backs.

One of them seems to be the embodiment of fire while the other of ice.

When they bowed down their soft white rabbits wanted to jump down on the floor.

David hurriedly shook his head and turned his gaze away from them.

He nodded in their direction and signaled for them to stand up straight.

"Introduce yourself."

"Master, I am Sebastian."

The man dressed in the butler uniform introduced himself gracefully.

After which, the girl with vermilion red eyes spoke in a plain voice.

"Ruby Vermilion."

She only uttered two words and didn't say anything else. Finally, it was the turn of the last girl to speak.

"Mary Suian, please use me as you deem, fit master."

The last girl spoke in a voice that sounded highly seductive to David.

David looked at the three of them and assessed the trio in his head.

Sebastian looked like a loyal knight that would follow all your orders without blinking.

And Ruby was like a reserved and cold lady. On the other hand Mary, when his gaze landed on her, she seemed to have noticed and raised her plump bosom a little higher.

David hurriedly averted his gaze.

All three of them were at the Peak of Body Refining Realm, but their aura was similar to that of Foundation Building Realm.

David wanted to check their status but he was broke and couldn't afford it.

Unlike Origin Guard, David wasn't able to get their Status report for free. He wondered why?

But he got a general idea as the price for their status report was 10,000 spirit stones, which was similar to Emilia when he met her.

After telling the three of them about their duties and showing them their room, he went back to the third floor to finally practice his skills.

At night.

David was standing in one of the empty rooms on the third floor.

His body was tense, and beads of sweat were forming on his forehead.

Crackle!

Suddenly, a surging purple current appeared below his feet, and in an instant, David disappeared from his original position and appeared in another corner of the room.

David currently was using one of the Techniques mentioned in the Purple Thunder technique.

"Purple Flow Technique."

It was a movement technique that allowed him to cover short distances in the blink of an eye.

He was preparing for the upcoming mission of the North River Sect.

Suddenly, David raised his arms and slashed the air in front of him.

Sizzle! Sizzle!

A sword made of purple thunder materialized in front of David, cutting the air apart.

After practicing for more than two hours, David finally sat down in the middle of the room and started to absorb the mana and recover his reserves.

The speed at which he absorbed the mana was getting faster and faster every moment.

In just barely five minutes, all the mana that he had consumed was already recovered.

Just like this ten more days passed and finally the day for the mission arrived.
