BXBX NOVEL Chapter 134: Doing business
1 - Extract Client's Crystallization of Life (Raging wind, Grade - Uncommon)
2 - Extract Jack'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, as capturing the soul and imprisoning it requires a large amount of mana, you only have nine hours left to make a choice.]
David's eyes flashed with a mysterious light once he went through the notification content.
This Jack guy died again in such a short period of time.
However, David decided to think about the options later; for now, he had to focus on this damn vixen.
"Hey! Are you listening? I am talking to you." Suddenly Riley shouted loudly to get David's attention when she realized he wasn't looking at her.
"Continue." David turned his head, looked deep into her eyes, and waited for her to continue.
Riley blinked innocently a couple of times before hurriedly nodding her head.
"Ok! It was still very hard to find information about her even with the information provided by you. It still took me one month to find out about her whereabouts." Riley started to speak with a difficult expression on her face, as if David had made her do the most difficult job in the world.
"And, you know…"
However, before she could continue, David raised his hands.
Immediately Riley shut up.
"Argh! Why is this guy so difficult to deal with?" She rolled her eyes and thought.
If it was any other man, he would have already started to wag his tail like a dog and started nodding at her words in an attempt to please her.
"Just open your mouth and spit the information out. Is that too much to ask?" David lightly tapped the table and said in an annoyed tone.
He was starting to get annoyed by the girl's antics.
You should really keep people at arm's length.
David made a note to not become too friendly with people he was going to do business with in the future.
His words made Riley slightly angry, and a pout appeared at the corner of her lips.
But after that, she flicked her hands, and a small round-shaped chocolate appeared in her hands.
She gently brought the chocolate closer to David's face and slowly said with a teasing smile on her face.
"Eat it."
David looked at her actions and frowned, not bothering to listen to her words.
"Now what, you don't want the information?" Riley looked at David in confusion, not understanding what he was trying to do.
Wasn't he so eager for the information?
Seeing that he might be missing something.
Ahem! David coughed and was about to open his mouth.
"Wait a damn minute," he thought and hurriedly shook his head and took the chocolate away from her hands.
After he took the round chocolate away from her hands, he examined it carefully.
At a simple glance, the chocolate looked like a normal one that you could buy at any random store for a few cents.
But at the moment, however, David frowned, as under careful scrutiny he was finally able to find almost invisible runes engraved all over the chocolate.
"I am not going to poison you; killing such a beautiful specimen would greatly hurt me."
Riley seemed to have understood his intentions and echoed from the side, her voice filled with slight dissatisfaction.
David ignored her words and continued to examine the chocolate with a serious look on his face, as if he knew anything about the runes engraved on it.
But David just couldn't bring himself to eat the chocolate.
Just like this, fifteen minutes passed; the food placed on the table had long since cooled down.
"How many times have I told you it's a memory chocolate and nothing harmful?" Riley said while gritting her teeth in frustration.
She had tried her best and explained everything about the chocolate to the guy, but he still refused to eat it.
David, on the other hand, didn't seem to care about her behavior, and after a few minutes, he finally nodded his head and ate the chocolate in a single bite.
Immediately David seemed to have felt an explosion on his taste buds, and a ton of information was sent to his brain through them.
David didn't even need to blink his eyes, and all the information was perfectly arranged in his head in an orderly way.
After absorbing memories of so many people, David was already used to the experience.
"I wasn't lying, right?" At this time, Riley suddenly spoke with a smug smile on her face and crossed her arms around her chest.
David looked at this scene and tried not to look at those white rabbits begging for mercy.
Their eyes filled with grievance as they asked him to free them from their miserable life.
He was satisfied with the information and nodded in her direction.
"What are you nodding for? Now hurry up and give me money." She demanded with a serious face.
David nodded and flicked his wrist; five shining mid-grade spirit stones appeared on the table.
"As per our prior agreement," David seriously added.
He wasn't going to pay her five extra spirit stones after he gave her so many clues.
"Stingy!" She uttered a single word and took all the crystals placed before her.
After doing that, she got up and started to leave.
David watched her swaying hips as she made her way toward the restaurant exit, and a thought popped up in his head.
"The backshots are gonna feel heavenly on this one."
He was, after all, a young man with hot blood flowing in his veins, so such a thought was to be expected.
Once she went further away, he turned his head away from her and looked at the food and sighed.
Now that he is here, he might as well finish this before leaving.
David ate the entire meal with great enthusiasm, not minding the food's coldness.
After the meal was finished, he smacked his lips in satisfaction.
The steak was of top-notch quality, or maybe it tasted great because he ate something after such a long amount of time.
Whatever the case may be, David was satisfied.
"Shopkeeper, bill!" David shouted in a loud voice.
After hearing his voice, the owner hurriedly came running with a smile on his face and placed a piece of paper in front of David.
David hurriedly settled the bill and left.
"I should bring the gang here some day," He thought in his head as he exited the restaurant.
He was not sure about others, but Mary would definitely like it.
David made a mental note to bring them here once they were back.
"The woman seemed reliable," he muttered in his head while being lost in thought.
He could trust the information provided by Riley as most of it greatly matched with the Status report that he had seen.
"Personal bodyguard of a great Alchemist's daughter, haa."
What a surprise, that Ghost Hound girl was actually a guard of some rich girl.
Moreover, not just any alchemist but a great Alchemist at that.
Great Alchemists were people who could refine 3-star pills helpful for cultivators above the Golden Core Realm.
As a result, they were incredibly influential people.
But so what, he was going to get his hands on her Crystallization of Life no matter what.
Looks like I will have to visit the Nightblade City in a few days.
Nightblade was one of the few big cities situated near the Blood Moon forest. That was also the place where that great Alchemist lived.
For now, he still had to visit Lyla waiting for him outside the settlement.
Thinking of his next business deal, David subconsciously increased his pace and hurriedly made his way towards the exit.
While David paid the bank for the status report, it had been a long time since he last looked at it.

David's heart once again ached; the laws that he had painstakingly cultivated had disappeared, leaving only a single Greater Law behind.
Of course, David was just overreacting, just like always.
They had not really disappeared but merged with the Greater Law of Annihilation.
