Chapter 124: Milking Information

This old man was a Nascent Soul expert known for his extremely cruel behavior.

"Manager, this man here is causing trouble inside the shop," a quick-witted waiter hurriedly explained the situation to earn points in the manager's good book.

The waiter's companions looked at this behavior and frowned, thinking in their heads, "Damn! I missed such a good opportunity."

However, what happened next left not only the waiter's but the whole audience dumbfounded.

Under the dumbfounded gases of the crowd Old Monk performed a complete one-hundred-eighty-degree bow, and apologized.

"Forgive us, esteemed customers. We were not able to fulfill your expectations."

This was more so the case for the golden-robed man; the situation changed so fast that he didn't know how to react.

He didn't expect a mighty Nascent Soul Realm expert to bow.

Before the golden-robed man could even react, the Old Monk pointed at one of the waiters standing beside him.

"You there, bring the spirit stones fast," the Old Monk's eyes were filled with decisiveness as he said those words.

"Yes manager."

At that time, the waiters seemed to have realized something and moved with extremely fast speed.

In the next moment, the waiter returned with a pouch filled with spirit stones in his hand and handed them to the Old Monk.

"Here, take this, customer. Inside it are ten times the amount of spirit stones that you paid for one cup of wine."

The Old Man's words sounded sincere.

Just as the golden-haired man was about to speak and reject the Old Monk offer, his companions reacted at lightning fast speed and took the pouch filled with spirit stones form the Old Monk's hand.

The crowd of people watching these scenes from the sidelines were also shell-shocked.

"Heavens, ten times the spirit stones! This young man has struck it rich this time," one of the audience members couldn't stop himself from muttering in shock.

"Ten times for breaking a bottle of wine. What if we burned this place to the ground? How much money would we get?" A half-drunk cultivator jokingly said.

Just as these words came out of his mouth, a gigantic pressure that almost made him fall on his knees descended on his shoulders.

Immediately after, blood started to ooze out of his nose, ears, and mouth.

The hall suddenly fell silent; everyone present in the room suddenly felt the temperature plummet by a few degrees.

The people who had forgotten about the fearsome reputation of the Old Monk were given a gentle reminder of why he was feared in the first place.

"Clean this place and throw this man out," the Old Monk suddenly disappeared, leaving these words echoing behind.

The waiters started to move rapidly after the Old Monk disappeared and hurriedly cleaned the place.

In barely a few seconds, the floor looked brand new. Not a single blood stain was left on the floor.

The golden-robed man along with his companion had also disappeared.

David also finally turned his head away from the scene.

He looked at the bottle of wine in front of him deeply.

At this time, the urge he had felt to taste this wine had vanished completely without a trace.

There was something definitely wrong with this wine and the shop.

While David was thinking, he suddenly received a notification from the banking system.

[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 Crystallization of Life (Precise Movement, Grade - Uncommon)

2 - Extract Tim's memories from his birth till his death.

3 - Any item that the 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, you only have two hours left to make a choice.]

David frowned after reading the notification; he didn't remember investing in this Tim guy.

In the next moment, the faces of five talented cultivators who he had decided to invest in some time ago flashed in his head.

Now that David understood why he got this notification, he clicked on the first option without hesitation.

Just as David was done choosing the option, he received three more notifications in succession.

[Regretfully…]

[Regretfully…]

[Regretfully…]

Confused for a moment, David went through every notification one by one, and immediately after, a strange expression appeared on his face.

Four people out of five had died, leaving behind only the girl who was acting confused.

After thinking for a moment, it wasn't difficult to understand what happened.

Unable to contain their greed, conflict broke out among the five of them, and the girl emerged as the final victor.

"Sweet," David almost whistled. He didn't expect the timid and confused girl to be so ruthless.

Shortly after, he chose the first option for all of them.

And as expected, in the next moment, four different balls of light appeared in his Spiritual Space, and immediately after, they were swallowed by the Triquetra spinning at the center silently.

But these four Crystallizations of Life seemed to have no effect on the Triquetra; it silently continued to spin without a single ripple and pump large quantities of mana, helping the Spiritual Space expand.

Meanwhile, in one of the rooms inside the Bald Monk Wine Shop:

The Old Monk suddenly appeared. At this time, he had a cold expression on his face.

Two waiters who were already waiting for him suddenly bowed in respect.

The Old Monk ignored the two of them and walked forward toward the table in the center of the room.

"How many new customers have been registered?" The Old Monk picked up a report and asked while going through it.

"Manager, we have already created a character profile of all the customers who visited our shop in this area. I'm afraid we won't be able to meet the monthly target this time." seaʀᴄh thё novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
