"Right! It should be around here!"

"Nightblade Avenue, C-Grade Building."

After confirming the address, Lucas resumed his journey once again.

The minor injuries that were inflicted on his body by David had long since healed; after all, they were nothing to begin with.

After taking one more turn, Lucas arrived in front of a building with shining golden walls.

"Origin Bank!"

Lucas muttered, while glancing at the huge shining boar standing on the building's roof.

So this was the building that he was supposed to guard.

"First, let's greet the owner," Lucas thought excitedly. Anyone who was able to rent a C-Grade building was bound to be a bigshot that he could look up to.

Lucas had long realized how the world works; people like him could only survive by making connections.

If he had been born into some mighty family like the Morgans, then his thinking might have been different, but for now, this was the way to move forward.

Noticing the gate was already open, he made his way inside.

Immediately, he noticed the titanic ten-foot-tall Origin Guard standing beside the entrance while holding a sword in his hands.

Lucas almost felt suffocated and couldn't breathe properly.

The pressure unconsciously released by a peak Nascent Soul Realm expert wasn't something which a little Golden Core cultivator could handle; of course, David was an anomaly.

However, the Origin Guard didn't seem to care about Lucas and treated him as air.

As long as he didn't show hostility towards the bank, the Origin Guard wouldn't care about him.

After some time, Lucas finally calmed down, took a deep breath, and started to look at the interior with great interest.

Picturesque paintings that seemed to have captured a moment in time hung on the walls.

Paintings so lifelike as if they would suddenly jump out of the canvas.

For a moment, Lucas was completely mesmerized and couldn't avert his gaze from these masterpieces. With a single glance, he seemed to have comprehended some of the world's mysteries, thereby advancing his cultivation by a little bit.

Suddenly, sound of footsteps resounded in the large hall.

"He's finally here," Lucas thought. He really wanted to know who the owner of this place was; it had to be some refined and noble individual.

Hearing the footsteps, Lucas turned his head and looked at the source of the sound.

A man in his mid-twenties was making his way toward him, dressed in a neat and clean white long coat. His long black hair was tied in a ponytail behind his head.

"It's you!" Lucas shouted in shock, not believing this was the same bastard who sent him to the hospital with a single punch.

Lucas suddenly felt anger rising in his heart like a torrential river, but he was forced to stomach the bubbling rage.

"Oh! So you are responsible for the security of this place."

David spoke in surprise, not expecting to encounter this sissy guy once again.

If this guy was responsible for the security, he might as well invite some thieves and politely hand them all of his treasures.

Lucas seemed to have felt David's disdain, and his expression turned even more incensed.

"You!"

He pointed his shaking finger at David's face and spoke through his teeth.

David ignored his anger and shook his head in disappointment.

It was his mistake for thinking too much.

Anyway, he had the Origin Guard to protect this place, so no worries.

"Whatever, get to work!" David coldly said and left, heading back to his room.

There was no need to be polite with such an arrogant guy.

After David left, Lucas also calmed down.

He still hadn't forgotten about the Titan standing guard at the entrance.

At this time, David sat on his bed with a thoughtful expression on his face, "I wonder when Sebastian and the others will return."

If that guy were here, he would have asked him to collect information about the Greyhound girl.

Time passed, and soon it had been three months since David moved to his new place.

In these three months, life had been peaceful without any accidents. His three monstrous partners had also returned, staying in the rooms beside him.

As their cultivation increased, David's interaction with the monstrosities also decreased, except for Mary, who would regularly visit him.

Recently, the girl had become pretty bold and made an absurd request.

She wanted to be a mother!

David was left speechless when he heard her words and didn't know what to say. He tried to politely refuse, but she was adamant about it.

In the end, he could only shake his head as she refused to listen to his words.

David sighed when he thought about her.

He couldn't understand what went through the girl's head.

Other than that, David had also decided to increase the number of coffee cups that he sold monthly, taking the number to one million.

This increased his monthly earnings to one million times one hundred thousand.

Let's ignore the math! That was a lot of money.

In this matter, David had no choice; after all, the demand was too much. A mere hundred thousand cups weren't enough to meet the demand of the whole world.

As time passed, the name of a strange Bank which sold miraculous coffee spread far and wide. Sёarch* The novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

There were two sides to every coin; as it became more famous, it also attracted the eyes of organizations like Bald Monk Wine Shop whose interests were hurt.

David felt thankful that he decided to sell anonymously; otherwise, his peaceful days would have long ended.

David sighed once again and walked out of his room.

Mary and the others were still in their rooms cultivating. Their competitive spirit seemed to have been ignited once they realized David's cultivation had reached new heights.

David suddenly felt thankful; because of his high-grade Crystallization of Life, he didn't have to sit on the ground like a statue and meditate.

The speed at which his Crystallization of Life poured mana into his spiritual space was something that the monstrosities would never be able to match.

This was even more true with someone like Lucas. Even with tireless cultivation for a year, Lucas would not be able to match the progress that David made in a single breath.

Suddenly, David felt pity for the poor guy.

While walking, David's gaze landed on Lucas sitting beside the entrance, meditating silently with his eyes closed.

Most of the time, this guy was like this. David had barely seen him move in the past three months.

Anyway, David ignored the poor guy and walked out.

"Give me ten pieces of Nine-fragrance Chocolate cake," David said while glancing at the surroundings.

During these months, the bank had gotten two new neighbors.

One was a shop selling sweets, and the other was a shop selling weapons.

David was more than happy with such development.

He had even become a regular at this sweet shop, visiting frequently to kill time.

While David was thinking, the staff packed his order.

After handing over the money, he decided to walk out.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of commotion at the entrance.

"Young Lady! Worry not, within three months we will capture the city's market completely," a shrewd-looking man spoke while wiping the sweat from his forehead.

David recognized the man; he was the manager of this sweet shop. The man's eloquent words when he first entered the shop had left a deep impression on him.

In the next moment, his gaze landed on the girl whom the manager called "young lady" beside him.

A classic cold beauty dressed in a one-piece dress stood beside the manager. She looked at the shop's interiors with deep scrutiny.

Suddenly, she seemed to have opened her mouth and said something.

With his enhanced senses, David could hear her words loud and clear.

"Manager, I am very disappointed with your performance. After all the money I gave you, you only managed to get a C-Grade building."

The girl's voice was similar to the chilly winter wind that sent shivers running down everyone's spine.

The manager could only repeatedly nod.

After a moment, David shook his head and walked away.

Once David left the shop, the lady's demeanor seemed to have turned even more frosty, like a thousand-year-old glacier.

"Who was that black-haired young man?" Natalie asked with an expressionless face. She had already felt the young man listening to her conversation.

If David were to hear her words, he would definitely be surprised. To be able to notice his slight actions, how sharp her senses must be.

Although caught by surprise, the manager still hurriedly answered; he didn't dare to keep the young miss waiting.

"He is the manager of the bank next door." His answer was short and precise, giving all the important information in a single sentence.

Although he answered honestly, the manager still couldn't understand why the young miss was interested in the guy.

"Interesting," Natalie muttered with an expressionless face.

She, a proud Void Refining Realm expert, wasn't able to tell a random guy's cultivation level. It was interesting, interesting indeed.

Meanwhile, the manager looked at her face in shock, as if he had suddenly seen a ghost.

Ever since he had known her, the manager had never heard her say anything not related to work.
