The sun was shining in the sky. Like usual, Nightblade City was filled with hustle and bustle, with people moving in and out of the city in large droves.
It had been almost a week since David arrived in this city. During this period of ti, he toured the city every day, and now he was quite familiar with it as a result.
The city had a population of fifty million people, most of them cultivators. Like every populous city, it was also filled with inequality to the extre.
Of course, that had nothing to do with David. He was even happy with the situation as it was now; if everyone was wealthy, who would he give loans to?
"Are you sure you don't want to co?" David asked as he prepared to leave the inn where they were currently staying.
"Yeah, I won't be able to join you," Mary said and sighed.
"Okay," David nodded and walked out of the room.
It wasn't just Mary who wasn't going to join him; even Borrito had sothing to do today.
He would have to go alone, as Sylvie had also left so days ago.
If it was soone else, they might have complained about being left alone; however, David was soone who liked being alone.
Dressed in a white long suit with gold-trimd sleeves, he walked out of the inn with a confident gait.
His black hair, which had grown long during this period of ti, was tied together in a neat ponytail behind his head.
Other cultivators were dressed in traditional robes with a single sword hanging on their waist. David stuck out among the crowd like a sore thumb.
He attracted the eyes of everyone wherever he passed by.
The beautiful ladies would point their fingers in his direction and discuss sothing among themselves in hushed voices with excited expressions on their faces.
The young, hot-blooded n would coldly snort in disdain and turn their heads away in a huff.
The old cultivators who had reached the end of their lifespans smiled when their eyes landed on David.
David didn't care about these people's reactions and walked through the street with a confident gait. He could only walk, as flying in the city was strictly prohibited.
His destination was Nightblade Avenue, the most prosperous area of the city, filled with nurous high-profile stores like the Bald Monk Wine Shop and so other high-profile organizations.
Although he couldn't fly, his speed was insanely fast, covering hundreds of ters of distance in seconds. If David wanted, he could move at an even faster speed, but he didn't, as every ti he tried to move at high speed, the golden floor beneath his feet would flicker with unknown symbols.
When David first witnessed this scene, he was confused and searched for information about it online.
"Nightblade Surveillance System? Huh!"
If your speed suddenly increased, you would beco a target for surveillance, and your location would be sent to the law and order team to make sure you didn't try to run away after committing any cris.
Although highly invasive, the system was highly effective. Even with so many cultivators present in Nightblade City, the weaker cultivators could still live peacefully.
While thinking about nurous things, David arrived at the pre-decided eting point.
Indeed, there was already a cultivator dressed in a neat grey robe standing with a patient expression on his face.
This was Nemo, an agent who was going to show him a suitable place for rent.
Nemo seed to have noticed David, as imdiately in the next mont, his eyes flashed, and he said in a loud voice, "Mr. David, here!" He flailed his arms in the air to attract David's attention.
David had already found him and was moving toward Nemo with a smile on his face.
"Ok! Now let's go," David said imdiately after walking near him. He had no intention of wasting any more ti.
Nemo was also soone who didn't like wasting ti. Imdiately after David's words, he led him toward Nightblade Avenue.
Nightblade Avenue was located in the middle of the city, sprawling over a large area that could easily fit hundreds of Smallsun villages.
It didn't take them long to reach their destination.
David also realized without being told by anyone where he was.
The air suddenly felt fresher and purer. The small streets that they had been walking through all this ti suddenly widened.
Every single building built in this place scread wealth.
Moreover, the golden floor seed to have comparatively even more runes than before.
The floor shone under the bright light of the sun.
"Mr. David, follow ," Nemo said without dilly-dallying, leading him to a small-looking building to the side.
"Here, Mr. David, this is a D-grade building owned by the Truth Seeker Formation organization," Nemo started, showing David various buildings.
"It cos with size-adjustable formations pre-installed."
Nemo went on to explain at great length all the information about the building that David needed to know.
"As this is a D-grade building, its contract can change anyti," Nemo spoke with a sigh.
D-grade buildings would have been sold like hot cakes if not for this clause.
Every residential area in Nightblade Avenue was divided into four grades: A, B, C, and D, with A-grade enjoying all the best-class facilities.
"It's quite expensive for a D-grade building. Show sothing better. Moreover, it should be sowhere at a prominent location," David spoke while deeply looking at Nemo. Did this guy think he was a pauper? At this thought, his eyes unconsciously narrowed.
"Ok, Mr. David," Nemo calmly nodded and led him to another two-story building.
Compared to the previous building, this seed to be made entirely out of violet crystal.
"This is the best B-grade building that is currently available."
"It is fitted with world-class formations, handmade by the experts from the Truth Seeker Formation organization. As is the case with our building, this place is also owned by the Truth Seeker Formation organization."
Not to say anything about this small building, Nightblade City was completely owned and controlled by the Truth Seeker Formation organization.
The surveillance system and sky missile formations were all the brainchild of this organization.
It wasn't like there weren't any other organizations besides the Truth Seeker Formation organization. There were so other individual families and organizations like the Alchemist sect and Bald Monk Wine Shop, but all of them paled in comparison to the local overlord.
"Rent!" Before Nemo could start babbling nonsense, David cut him off and then asked the most important question.
"It is quite cheap for a month. You only have to pay ten mid-grade spirit stones or a million low-grade spirit stones. Moreover, the price is non-negotiable."
When Nemo said those words, his eyes seed to flash with a strange light. If this deal succeeded, he would get a percentage of the rent as a commission.
David's expression remained unchanged even after hearing the exorbitant amount. He had already expected the rent to be sky-high, so Lucas' words ca as no surprise.
Still, he sighed internally. The mission to make the bank the richest organization in the world suddenly seed to have beco even harder.
"Ok, let's finalize this building," David said in the end. There was no point in wasting any more ti; he suddenly would not get a better deal out of nowhere.
"Understood, Mr. David. Please wait for a few minutes while I prepare the contract," Nemo imdiately started to rub his palms together in excitent and hurriedly said.
At this ti, two people dressed in yellow robes suddenly appeared beside David.
One man and one woman, both of them in their mid-twenties with long, flowing black hair.
"Today, I, Rin Morgan, represent the Morgan family, and I am here to rent this building on the Morgan family head's behalf."
The one who spoke was the woman. Her tone was confident and slightly rude at the sa ti.
"Morgan Family?" Nemo' eyes imdiately darkened.
Although David was still new in the city, he had also heard about the Morgan family.
While David and Nemo were feeling surprised, the woman, Rin Morgan, hurriedly walked towards Nemo and threw a pouch in his direction.
"Take this pouch. There are sixty mid-grade spirit stones inside of it, advance paynt for six months."
At this ti, David wasn't paying attention to her. His complete focus was on the window in front of him.
