Chapter 141: Back to square one
"What are you doing here, big brother Datsun?" Rin immediately asked as soon as Datsun got near her.
"What\'s with this question? As soon as I came back from the front lines, I rushed back to see you." Datsun smiled and spoke while looking at David standing a couple of steps away with a curious look in his eye.
David\'s presence was eye-catching; given his handsome appearance and otherworldly dressing sense, one could hardly ignore him.
"Who is this, little sister? Your boyfriend?" Datsun asked with a meaningful look on his face.
"No~No, what are you even saying, you idiot brother?" Rin Morgan shook her hands and hurriedly denied all the allegations, her silky smooth skin, which seemed to glow under sunlight, turned red like a tomato.
"Ok! I got it. Kids grow so fast these days. I still remember the day when you used to cling to me all the time." Datsun sighed and spoke while reminiscing about the past.
"It\'s okay, I won\'t tell anyone, but first I will have to check this guy\'s qualifications to see if he is even worthy of the heir of the Morgan family."
As Datsun said those words, his facial expression was extremely solemn.
Hearing the guy\'s words, only a single thought popped up in David\'s head: "Is this guy a retard, to assume so many things about me?"
"Stop your nonsense, big brother! Haven\'t I already told you, Mr. David has nothing to do with me?" At this point, even Rin spoke. She seemed to have understood what Datsun was trying to do.
Like every powerful family, the Morgan family was also filled with internal struggles. Compared to the other traditional and old families which were patriarchal, the Morgan family was completely matriarchal since the very beginning.
When the current matriarch wanted to step down, she would pick one of the most talented females in the family and groom her as the new leader.
The current Matriarch had decided to groom Rin as the next leader.
This was a fact that wasn\'t liked by people like Datsun and the faction that he belonged to; they wanted to transform the Morgan family and make it completely patriarchal. And for doing that, they would have to get rid of Rin, but they couldn\'t do anything because of the all-powerful Matriarch.
"This bastard, bringing the internal battles out in the open." Rin cursed while gritting her teeth in anger.
Of course, Rin had already realized what Datsun was trying to do; he wanted to ruin her reputation, but she couldn\'t understand what gave him the courage.
"Brother, you must be aware that fights are not allowed inside the city," Rin said. At this point, her eyes had turned incredibly cold.
"Who said we are going to fight? I am just going to lightly spar with this young man." Datsun didn\'t seem to care about Rin\'s words, nor did he seem to care about the Law and Order department.
David suddenly turned his head and looked all around him. He was trying to find the cameras in the surroundings.
"What\'s with all the drama today?" David didn\'t know whether to laugh or cry about the situations; he felt like he was suddenly in a soap opera drama.
First, that retard officer, now this idiotic guy trying to mess with him.
Did he really look like someone who was easy to bully?
"Hahahahaha." David suddenly started to laugh; his laughter sounded a little hollow.
Datsun also stopped and looked at David\'s face with an expressionless face.
"Mr., Do I look like a clown to you?" David pointed a finger at his face and asked while smiling.
Datsun heard his words and raised his hands to launch an attack and blast this loudmouth out of existence when he suddenly noticed a strange thing and frowned.
Although there were laws and rules in the city that prohibited killing and fights, as long as you have enough money, you can do whatever you want.
And money wasn\'t something that Datsun particularly lacked.
Even Rin was surprised by David\'s words; she wasn\'t expecting him to act so recklessly. However, what left her even more surprised was Datsun\'s reaction.
Normally, Datsun would have already launched an attack.
This was very weird.
"Could it be?" Suddenly, Rin\'s eyes glowed with a strange light.
"Are you deaf? Can\'t you hear me?" After seeing that the guy was not answering his words but was only looking in his direction, David asked once again.
"No way! A Void Refining expert." Datsun shouted in his head in a panicked voice.
The intel that he had received was completely wrong; Rin was not alone. Moreover, she had somehow managed to find a Void Refining expert.
This was explosive news; he had to get out of this place as soon as possible.
Datsun\'s body froze in shock; he didn\'t even dare to breathe.
"Answer me." Annoyed, David demanded an answer once again.
Rin watched this scene from the sidelines with eyes wide as saucers, not believing this scene at all.
"Hehehe... Little sister, an urgent task has suddenly come up. I will have to leave." Datsun rubbed the back of his head while saying those words.
Wondering if the mighty expert would let him go.
After seeing David\'s expressionless face, Datsun was relieved and hurriedly left.
"Damn, I am going to skin those bastards alive from the intel branch," Datsun thought as he fled at the fastest speed that his legs could carry him.
"Ahem! Mr. David, this is the building that I was talking about." Rin understood David\'s mood and decided not to ask him stupid questions.
She pointed at the single-story building shining under the sun.
Originally, she was going to use this place to open an office, but now this plan would have to change a little.
"This building has the same features as those of A-grade buildings."
"Size adjustments formation."
"A personal guard assigned by the Law and Order department."
"Even..."
In the next moment, Rin went on to explain all the features of the building in complete detail.
David was satisfied after hearing her words.
"Ok! This place sounds nice. How do I rent it?" David said.
"You don\'t have to worry about it. Here, take this key." Rin also smiled and flicked her wrist, and a key made out of silvery material appeared in her hands.
"This key represents the ownership of this building as well as the mechanism to pay the rent."
"Every month, you will have to pay 150,000 spirit stones. If you don\'t pay on time, you risk losing the building anytime."
David nodded and took the key from her hands.
When he took the key, his hands accidentally seemed to have touched Rin\'s soft hands.
Rin, however, didn\'t seem to mind the slight touch and ignored it.
In the next moment, she graciously smiled and offered while smiling, "Would you like me to show you around?"
"No! But thank you for asking." David immediately rejected her without even blinking his eyes.
What the hell! Rin looked at his face, not believing the words that she had heard.
Cultivators would kill to spend time with her, and yet here she was...
Then suddenly, the panicked face of Datsun flashed in her head, and she immediately calmed down.
"Okay! If you need my help, feel free to contact me." After saying those words, she politely walked away.
David also didn\'t say anything to stop her; he had already wasted enough time today.
He silently watched her figure until she completely disappeared from his vision. Only then did he turn his head and look at the golden building.
Finally, it was time to establish a physical branch of the bank.
However, before that, David deposited the advance rent of twelve months in the key, costing roughly 18 mid-grade stones.
Now that this was out of the picture, it was time to move inside.
David walked near the huge golden gates, which seemed to have almost merged with the golden walls. If it wasn\'t for the small keyhole, David wouldn\'t even have been able to find the gates.
He swiftly inserted the key into the keyhole and gently turned it around.
Click!
With a satisfying click, the gates were immediately pushed open, exposing a huge dark hall behind.
Without hesitating, David hurriedly entered and examined everything closely.
Following his footsteps, the hall immediately lit up by the huge chandeliers hanging on the ceiling.
Exposing the floor made out of green gemstones. The walls were pristine white, completely spotless as if they had never been touched before.
It took David a couple of minutes to completely inspect the area.
Although it looked small, the hall was roughly 2000 square meters in size. Moreover, there were even six rooms with a kitchen at the very end.
David was completely satisfied.
"So this is the size adjustment Formation," David muttered while looking at the star-shaped formation rotating in front of him at slow speeds.
