NOVEL NEXT Chapter 117: Taking actions
The monstrous armor perfectly reflected the sun's rays as they landed on his body.
The Origin Guard looked incomparably majestic as he silently floated in the air, not even bothering to look at the annoying flies below his feet, as if they weren't worth his attention.
"Golden Core Realm!" someone shouted in an ear-piercing voice.
"Please forgive me, lord." A perceptive individual seemed to have understood something, quickly turning their head toward David and started apologizing.
However, David paid no heed. He was busy scanning the crowd for targets worth investing in.
David looked at the information in front of him and sighed.
[Name - Tom]
[Lifespan - 190/200]
[Spiritual Space - 800 meters]
[Laws - Lower Law of Rain]
[Cultivation - Foundation Building Realm Rank 8]
[Cultivation of Life - Straight Flow, Grade: Uncommon]
[Remark: Junk]
"Another trash," David said in disappointment.
The fact that he had to look through the status reports of everyone one by one made this exercise even more painful.
But David managed to persist. After spending a large sum of money and half an hour, he managed to find a few people worth investing in.
This half-hour felt almost like a painful year to the cultivators standing below. Their hearts shook every time David looked in the air and muttered in disappointment.
Next, David suddenly pointed at a few people in the crowd and spoke.
"You five, move to the side, please."
These were the people the bank deemed to have some potential and were worth investing in.
"Now you guys! If you want to live, hand over everything you have in your storage rings and Green Heaven Web." David announced.
David's words were cold and cruel. He was greatly annoyed by these guys. If it weren't for them, he might have been able to capture the girl.
"Form a straight line and place everything you have in front of me. Don't try to act smart, or I won't show mercy."
With those words, David moved toward the ground and flicked his wrist.
In the next moment, a chair engraved with exquisite carvings of a three-headed snake tightly wrapping around the moon appeared for David to sit on comfortably.
And David did exactly that, with a cup of freshly brewed coffee in his hands he looked at the long line that had formed in front of him.
Behind him were the five people he had pointed at earlier.
Among the five were two girls from SmallSun Village. They had awkward expressions on their faces as they looked at the long line of cultivators before them.
Some of the cultivators standing in line were people they knew and were familiar with.
David paid no attention to their expressions or thoughts. At this time, his eyes were on the cultivator in front of him.
A pot-bellied man walked forward and dropped a couple of things at the spot where David pointed.
Afterward, he looked at David's face and waited for him to speak.
David didn't say anything and let the man go to one side.
He didn't ask the man whether these were all the items he had with him.
David looked at the pile and waited for the next person's turn.
This time it was a young man with handsome features.
He repeated the pot-bellied man's actions, and David also allowed him to move to the side.
After watching this scene, one of the girls behind David sighed with relief. She seemed to be familiar with the young man.
Two or three more people came, dropped things, and moved to the side like obedient little chickens.
All this time, David had remained tight-lipped, not saying anything.
The pile of items lying in front of him had grown tremendously. All sorts of multi-colored items lay scattered on the ground.
David didn't even recognize most of them.
At this time, a man dressed in shady clothes with huge biceps walked in front of David.
David's actions had allowed the atmosphere to ease slightly, so the man looked slightly comfortable and even smiled when he stood before David.
Just like everyone else, he also dropped a pile of items on the ground.
Just as he was about to walk away, David suddenly raised his hand and spoke coldly, "Didn't I warn you beforehand? How dare you act smart in front of me."
Hearing David's words, the man's expression suddenly froze, and he suddenly felt as if he was standing naked on a chilly winter night.
Internally, the man was confused. He had honestly placed everything he had in front of David, so why the...
However, his thoughts were abruptly stopped as, in the next moment, a hulking monstrosity suddenly appeared beside him and blasted him out of existence.
Of course, David didn't know whether the man was telling the truth or not, nor did he have a way to verify the man's claims.
But he knew one thing: he needed to set an example for the rest of the people standing in line.
All of the cultivator's were shocked by the sudden turn of events, but they quickly understood the situation.
The man just now had tried to lie and was caught by David, so as a result, he was executed on the spot.
Some of those who had similar ideas suddenly shook their heads and took a deep breath to calm their raging hearts.
After the man's death, the process was short and fast.
In barely half an hour, all the cultivators who were standing in line were finally done, and everything they had was dropped on the ground.
The myriad items had formed a small mountain in front of him.
However, David had to take care of a few lucky ones in between to make sure everything went smoothly.
Of course, he wasn't the one who took action—it was his good brother, Origin, who took care of everything.
The eyes five cultivator's behind him flashed with a strange light as they looked at mountain of wealth right in front of their eyes.
Gulp!
A boy even swallowed his saliva, he had never seen such wealth before in his life.
