Chapter 154: Red Lotus

No matter how many times he experienced it, the experience was always novel.

It didn't take him long to sort out all the memories. Immediately, David's eyes flashed with interest.

"So this guy was an Alchemist, huh." David muttered, his voice laced with interest.

Aron was a one-star alchemist from the Smallsun village; coincidentally, he died inside the Bloodmoon Ancestor spiritual space while fighinting a loosing battle.

However, that wasn't important. What really mattered was that now that David had absorbed his memories, he could also be considered someone who knew a little bit about Alchemy.

David's thoughts were interrupted by a loud voice.

"This arrogant guy was defeated so quickly."

Borrito said in disdain while pointing at the screen displaying Lucas' fight.

The sight was truly disappointing to watch. Lucas pitifully struggled against the five opponents' lethal attacks; it was a miracle that he managed to last for so long.

After looking for a moment, David lost his interest. His eyes scanned the sea of cultivators around, trying to see if anyone's attention was on Lucas.

After confirming that no one was looking at this stupid fool, he sighed in relief; otherwise, the bank's reputation would have been completely ruined.

Lucas lasted only for a few moments. Just as he was about to be killed by the sharp blade of his opponents, Lucas decisively gave up and escaped.

In another moment, he was back in front of the group.

His face was filled with absolute fear as well as a tinge of shame.

Before Lucas could even take a breath, David and the gang surrounded him like a bunch of hungry wolves out for blood.

"You better keep your head down when you talk to me in the future. Tch! So much for a city official."

The first to speak was Borrito, striking where it hurt the most. After speaking his piece of mind, Borrito took a puff from his eternally lit cigarette and shook his head condescendingly.

Sebastian and Mary looked at the guy with pity, as they could understand it was not easy to handle five opponents at the same time. This was something that they could concluded after watching the fights on the screen.

It was not only David and his group which were interested in Lucas; most of the cultivators surrounding them were also looking at Lucas with interest.

As Lucas had been a rare case, he was among the first few people to come out of the Dimension gate. Others who had gone in had either died or were still continuing to fight in higher stages.

But these people were deterred by the aura of Sebastian and the other two monstrosities.

However, not everyone.

At this time, a lady dressed in a red robe walked out from the crowd with a confident expression on her face.

As soon as she appeared, the crowd fell silent and murmurs broke out.

"Oh! She is from the Morgan family."

"I heard this time the succession war in the Morgan family is fierce."

The girl stopped a few meters away from David's group and smiled.

David, on the other hand, looked at her and frowned.

A distance of a few meters was nothing for the cultivators; it could even be said that the girl was too close, and at this point, she was just being rude.

Time passed with no one speaking. Finally, the girl in red robes from the Morgan family opened her mouth.

"Gentlemen, can I talk to you for a minute?"

Her voice was a little unnatural as if she wasn't used to speaking.

David didn't directly answer but looked around her to see if there was any hidden expert. Even after using Web of Mindfulness repeatedly, he didn't find anyone.

However, David still didn't rush to speak but looked at Sebastian to see what he had to say.

Feeling David's gaze and understanding his thoughts, he smiled and nodded.

Although David might have gotten stronger than Sebastian, that didn't mean he couldn't ask for the old man's opinion.

He could rely on Sebastian for guidance in such matters as the other two were…

Ruby didn't seem to be paying attention to their conversation; her eyes were glued to the glowing screen in the sky.

Well, let's not say anything about Mary.

Cough! David coughed and turned his head towards the girl from the Morgan family and nodded.

His eyes flashed with interest, 'This girl sure is gutsy, coming to such a dangerous place alone.'

Watching David's nod, a beautiful smile appeared on the girl's face. She walked a little closer while still maintaining a safe distance from David's group.

"I want to know in detail about this gentleman's experience inside the dimensional gate," she immediately voiced her request, her voice filled with seriousness.

Her tone was still bland as if she was not capable of expressing her emotions.

"Yeah, we can do that, but that will cost you!"

While saying these words, David raised his hand and pointed three fingers towards her.

Lucas, who was still confused, suddenly seemed to have understood something and spoke, "Hey, what are you doing? Do you think I am your lapdog or something?"

He was angered by David's actions. Shouldn't he be the one negotiating with the girl?

However, before he could continue speaking, he suddenly felt a cold gaze landing on his body. Sёarᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Lucas suddenly shivered in fright as if his heart was gripped by someone and immediately shut up.

Hmmph! Mary coldly snorted and turned her head away while thinking, 'Trying to interfere in my darling's business.'

Dream on!

David also noticed this small scuffle without even looking back and gave her a mental thumbs up; he was impressed.

"30 million, deal," the girl suddenly spoke as if she was caught unprepared.

She wasn't alone; David was also caught unprepared. He wondered if he had heard wrongly.

30 million spirit stones!! Originally, he was going to ask for 3 million spirit stones, and mentally he was coming up with reasons to back the price, but he didn't need to do anything.

At this time, a sigh filled with incredible disappointment resounded in the surroundings.

Those who heard felt their hearts shake, and a thought collectively popped into their heads:

A Void Refining expert was here!!

The expression of the girl from the Morgan family darkened.

'Did I make a mistake again?' She thought mentally and looked at the space around her.

Yes, that seems to be the case. If I hadn't made a mistake, mother wouldn't have taken action.

The girl's eyes flashed brightly once she realized her mistakes. She immediately looked at David and spoke once more, "How about fifty million spirit stones?"

After saying those words, a proud look seemed to flash in her eyes.

Just as David was about to agree to this stupid girl's quoted price, the space around the girl suddenly rippled as if it was about to collapse, and the figure of a mature woman in her thirties appeared around the young woman.

The faces of the two women had a strikingly close resemblance to each other; it appeared both of them were blood-related.

"You stupid girl! Let's go home. You will not be able to do it," the mature woman patted the young girl's head and said with a smile on her face.

"It's not your cup of tea."

'How big of a mistake did I make?' the girl thought, completely ignoring the woman's words.

'Maybe I should have offered five hundred million spirit stones.' The girl seemed to have realized her mistake once again.

Seeing her daughter's determined face, the woman sighed again and looked at David.

David suddenly seemed to have felt the weight of the whole world pressing down on his shoulders.

Although the pressure was huge, it wasn't something that he couldn't handle.

Even the faces of his three monstrous companions turned serious.

Borrito seemed to be unaffected by the pressure as if it had no effect on his body.

Lucas, on the other hand, wasn't able to bear it and fainted on the spot with white foam coming out of his mouth.

"Mother! You are hurting them," the young woman spoke while tugging at her mother's clothes.

She wanted to complete her first deal without any issues.

Once the woman heard her daughter's words, she sighed once more, and the pressure that David and others were facing disappeared like a puff of smoke.

"Please don't try to take advantage of my daughter. The best we can do is 2 million spirit stones," the woman spoke in a plain voice.

At that time, someone from the crowd seemed to have recognized the woman's identity.

"Red Lotus from the Morgan family!"

The voice was like a thunderclap in a clear, cloudless sky, attracting the attention of everyone present.

Red Lotus, one of the Void Refining experts from the Morgan family, and it wasn't every day that they got to see an expert at such a level.

'Tch! After not making an appearance for so long, people still remember me,' Red Lotus muttered lightly, but that was it. The attention that she was receiving seemed to have no effect on her.
