Chapter 170: Heavens Defying

[Name: Morpheus

Investment Grade: S

Crystallization of Life: Not awakened

Remark: Has the potential to give stellar returns.]

David was amazed after looking at the status report; this might be the first time in months since he had encountered such a high investment grade.

His thoughts were stirred; however, his facial expression remained the same as if he was on the verge of collapsing on the ground.

After taking a look at the boy's excellent status report, he looked at the girl with expectations in his eyes.

After all, birds of a feather flock together.

Once again, a blue window displaying the girl's status report appeared in front of David's eyes.

[Name: Monica Rufius

Investment Grade: SS

Crystallization: Not awakened

Remark: Invest all your money on her]

David's eyes almost widened in shock. He managed to remain calm with great difficulty; the girl was similar to Mary in terms of talent.

Months of acting had finally started to bear fruit.

Morpheus' eyes, on the other hand, flashed with coldness. He was already in a bad mood, and now this beggar came to annoy him.

Just as he was about to chase the beggar away, he was stopped by Monica, who grabbed his hand quietly and shook her head.

She walked forward gently and took out a steamed bun that she had stealthily hidden and placed it in the beggar's outstretched hand.

Morpheus, who was standing behind, was shocked by the sudden appearance of the steamed bun; he didn't expect the girl to still have a bun left.

He looked at the girl's figure deeply. For the first time, Morpheus realized he didn't really know anything about the girl who had grown up together with him.

"Argh! Cough, thank you, young lady. May the heavens bless your kind soul," David continued to pretend and accepted the bun.

"Shut up, old man! I don't want heaven's blessings." For unknown reasons, Morpheus was furious after hearing David's words, even though the beggar's words weren't directed at him. Searᴄh the nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Morpheus' words, filled with an untold sense of resentment, echoed in the surroundings, but no one present bothered to give him a second look, as if his grievance wasn't worth talking about.

David was impressed by the young man's fiery will that seemed to challenge the heavens.

Even Monica wasn't expecting the sudden outburst.

"Good, good, good!"

David suddenly smiled and said "good" three times with a profound expression on his face.

His demeanor suddenly changed; he no longer looked as sickly as before, his hunched back suddenly straightened.

"We are truly connected by fate for us to meet here, young man. I am impressed by your fighting spirit."

Morpheus and Monica were surprised by the sudden change; they didn't expect the situation to change so fast.

To their surprise, the world around them seemed to have lost its colors and came to a standstill. No one seemed to have noticed the changes, as if the present scene was cut away from the rest of the world.

This was to be expected, after all; David had isolated this small area with his divine sense. No one should be able to spy on their conversation.

David found their shocked expressions to be incredibly funny and wanted to smile, but in the end, he managed to control himself with great willpower and not break his character.

"Until we meet again!" With those words, David suddenly disappeared from the duo's eyes without making a sound.

Staying and talking for too long would definitely reveal some flaws and destroy his well-crafted act.

"Purple lightning!"

Both of them muttered at the same time with shocked expressions on their faces.

After thinking for a moment, David decided to give them a cultivation technique so they could begin cultivating as soon as possible and help his cultivation grow even further.

At first, he wanted to give them a weapon as well, but on second thought, that would be too inappropriate and would put them in a dangerous situation.

High in the sky, David watched the two of them for a moment, and only after they calmed down did he finally move back to his building.

....

Time continued to pass, and ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

In these ten days, David's bank didn't receive any customers, giving him enough time to watch his new investment in peace.

His immense Divine sense covered the whole Nightblade city like an invisible blanket.

Five days ago, the duo Morpheus and Monica had awakened themselves, but they still didn't cultivate using Purple Thunder techniques; it appeared they were skeptical about David.

However, David didn't mind their behavior but appreciated them even more; their cautious nature was good for him.

David was sure they wouldn't be able to resist in the end. He wasn't sure about the girl, but the boy was already in his bag.

After giving them one last look, he withdrew his divine sense and focused on a luxurious building.

After witnessing the scene inside, he muttered, "It's time to visit Alchemist Theodore."

These days, the alchemist had gone completely bonkers, searching far and wide to find the Nine Sun trees, and he had even increased the reward many times.

While David was enjoying spying all over the city, the gate of Ruby's room suddenly opened, and the redhead girl walked out with a slightly happy expression on her face.

As she walked, her white dress that reached up to her knees gently fluttered in the wind. Ruby stopped when she was some distance away from David.

David had noticed her presence but didn't turn his head around as his eyes were on the window in front of him.

[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 (Seal of Absolute Ownership, Grade - Earthly Emperor)

2 - Extract Ark's memories from his birth till his death

3 - Any item that 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 nine hours left to make a choice.]

The notification left him bamboozled—an Emperor grade Crystallization of Life and one with such a unique name.

David had to pinch his hand to confirm something; only when he felt a tinge of pain did he realize he wasn't dreaming.

Without hesitation, he clicked on the first option and swiftly extracted the Crystallization of Life.

Immediately, he received a prompt asking if he wanted to consume the Crystallization of Life.

Hell no! David immediately accepted the offer, and soon the newly extracted Crystallization of Life merged with the majestic quadrant.

Unable to hold back any longer, he summoned his Status report to notice the changes.

David frowned after looking at the list. Alright, the new Crystallization had appeared, but the list had gotten very long.

In the future, it might become even messier.

While thinking, David focused on the new Crystallization of Life, and a new window displaying its information appeared.

[Seal of Absolute Ownership: Once marked by the seal, the items will forever belong to you. No matter the distance or the time, it will come to you instantly.]

David was satisfied after going through the information; this was something that he really needed.

This ability was something that David really wanted. Now that he was handing weapons to random people, he didn't want to see these weapons pointed against him.

Unknown to him, the happy smile that was on Ruby's face vanished, and a cold, emotionless look appeared in her eyes.

She hurriedly turned away and walked back to the room.

At this time, David also opened his eyes only to see Ruby's receding figure. For some unknown reason, a sinking feeling arose in his heart, as if he had missed something important.

Not understanding the situation, he could only shake his head.

Just as he was about to give thinking about it, he suddenly called out in a gentle tone.
