Chapter 164: Another one

Comprehension of the Greater Law of Annihilation had increased significantly, and as expected, a new skill appeared in his status reports.

As he left the space in a hurry, he didn't have time to check what the star-shaped symbol was that had merged with his hand.

It was better to examine it when he finally got the chance.

The eyes of hundreds of cultivators followed his figure, but none of them dared to stop him, especially after seeing his terrifying fighting powers.

But now everyone was like this; some of the cultivators had already started to move and sent information about David back to their families.

Mary smiled and walked forward with a hint of worry in her black gemstone-like eyes. "Darling, are you injured anywhere? Let me take a look."

She walked closer to David once he landed on the ground and started to inspect his body up and down with close scrutiny.

To Angelica, who was following David from behind, this scene appeared completely different.

In her eyes, Mary was on her knees, with her head barely reaching up to David's waist.

The scene looked extremely suspicious. As if it wasn't enough, the situation was further worsened by David's attempt to push Mary away by grabbing her head.

Angelica's imagination ran wild, and her face unconsciously turned red like a tomato, forgetting the purpose for which she was chasing after David.

Unaware of Angelica's rotten thoughts, David finally managed to convince Mary that he was safe and sound and there was no need to worry about him.

Without even realizing, he was surrounded by his companions from all sides, with Sebastian asking crucial questions from time to time.

The atmosphere was lively.

"What's this symbol on your hand, Manager?"

After chatting for some time, Sebastian pointed at the back of his hand, which had a star-shaped tattoo engraved on it.

Just as he was thinking how to answer this question, Mary spoke from the sidelines.

"This looks like a high-grade formation." With those words, Mary looked at the symbol she had already noticed when she was earlier examining his body.

"Hm! It is a progression-based formation mainly used by cultivators to pass their legacy." Mary's eyes twinkled as she explained; she seemed to be familiar with the formation.

Sebastian and Ruby's eyes also seemed to flash in understanding.

They had heard about such a formation in the past and later had even seen many of their clan members using it actively.

As to why Ruby didn't recognize the formation at first glance, it was because the formation came in various shapes and sizes; it was really difficult to identify.

This was also one of the features of such formations and the reason why it was so popular.

At this, Borrito suddenly came from the side and climbed David's shoulders with an extremely proud look in his eyes.

David didn't say anything to the duck and only gently patted his head. Borrito immediately closed his eyes in satisfaction.

It seemed to extremely like it.

Lucas looked at this scene from a distance away; he had lost the courage to face David. He just hoped that David would notice him.

Angelica also calmly stood still. She was sensible enough and didn't want to ruin the atmosphere.

Up in the void, the four cultivators weren't in a hurry to meet David; they stood in the cloud to examine the space.

Time passed, and after half an hour, David finally managed to separate himself from the group. He walked to the sideline and sat on the ground.

It was time to decide on the notification that he had received some time ago.

[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 (The Flow, Grade - Uncommon)

2 - Extract Bryan'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 that capturing the soul and imprisoning it requires a large amount of mana, because of which you only have one day left to make a choice.]

David wasn't in a rush to make a choice; he patiently went through all the options.

His friends didn't disturb him; some rest after such a hectic day was to be expected.

While David was pondering, Borrito's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he rushed towards Angelica Green Heaven.

Borrito was also curious about the woman; after all, he had also watched her fight on the screen.

She was formidable as well, but she wasn't as formidable as his father.

When Borrito's thoughts reached this point, a smug expression appeared on his face.

Of course, Borrito's action had nothing to do with David; he had already made his choice.

After careful consideration, he decided to extract Bryan's memories. He hoped that his debt would be repaid as soon as possible. He didn't want to exploit one of his friends for no reason.

And it should most probably be over by now; adding today, he had already absorbed Bryan's memories two times in the past.

While thinking, David felt a surge of memories in his head. Compared to how the Benevolence of the Primordial Asura felt, it was a relatively smooth experience.

The process was finished in a few seconds; this time, the memories were extremely short.

After going through the memories, David's eyes flashed with a strange light.

This time, Bryan had died soon after awakening his Crystallization of Life. He was brutally killed by a girl's father whom he had wholeheartedly pursued.

"What a tragic way to die," David muttered under his breath and easily smiled.

He would never understand why people would go to such extreme lengths for love; after all, it was just an emotion.

Well, who was he to judge his friend's choice?

David suddenly felt relieved. With this one last absorption, Bryan's soul would finally be free.

He suddenly felt a little lost and couldn't help himself from thinking about Deadwood City where it all began.

Given the time difference, he wondered if any new civilization had already risen there.

He didn't even know how far away he was from the planet.

Thousands of light years away? Probably.

Sigh!

David hurriedly shook his head to get rid of these thoughts; there was no point thinking about things of the past.

Now that he had time, he also decided to examine the girl Angelica's status report.

[Request for status report

[Target - Angelica Green Heaven]

[Cost - 100,123 low-grade spirit stones]

[Yes/No]

Without hesitating, he clicked on yes; the information was worth every single penny.

As soon as he clicked on yes, a row of text appeared displaying Angelica's information in front of him.

David was left shell-shocked by the information, especially when he looked at her comprehension of the law.

30 freaking percent, that was too much.

And an Earthly Emperor grade Crystallization of Life as well; she was undoubtedly a peerless genius.

The only thing that allowed David to remain calm was her spiritual space length.

However, he was confused by the system's grave remark at the end.

He decided to be extra careful around the girl; the bank would not warn him without a reason.

After closing the window, he sneakily looked at the girl to see what she was doing.

"What, this bastard!"

David watched the scene while inwardly feeling shocked; the arrogant duck Borrito had climbed on top of the girl's shoulders.

When did they get so close?

Just as David was about to get up, he suddenly felt four powerful auras coming in his direction.

Immediately he looked up with a frown on his face.

His control over mana had long since reached a godly level; not a single change in mana flow around his surroundings could escape his notice.

Immediately, four figures appeared floating in mid-air.

"Red Lotus."

David recognized one of them, but he didn't understand what she was doing with them.

At this time, the surroundings had completely fallen silent, with the eyes of everyone focused on the floating beings.

David's companions were also frowning, especially at the timely appearance of these beings. They seemed to have been waiting for a moment to strike.

"Ah! Junior, why are you not bowing to the royal authority? Do you not want to live anymore?"

At this time, Red Lotus suddenly spoke when she found David brazenly looking in their direction.
