Woongg!!

A blue portal tore through the void as it appeared within the room that the bank employee was currently in. From that portal, a tall figure walked out as he scanned his surroundings.

"This humble employee greets you Sir Liu Sheng Juan." the bank employee said respectfully with a bow.

Nodding his head, he then spoke out with an air of authority to it, "Where is this student that you mentioned? Bring him to the private meeting room."

Hearing the words spoken by the enigmatic person before her, she bowed her head and replied "I will go now to bring our esteemed customer to have an audience with Sir."

...

"Look, she's back." Shen Lu said to Duan Li as the bank employee approached them.

"Dear esteemed customer, the person in charge of handling the kind of services you required is now here. Please follow me."

Following behind the lady employee, they soon found themselves to be standing in front of a door to a room.

Before entering, she promptly reminded them, "The person whom esteemed customer will be meeting soon in this room is someone that should not be offended in the slightest. I hope that esteemed customer would put my advice to heart."

Knock! Knock!

"Enter." said a voice beyond that door.

Eventhough there was only a single word spoken in that sentence, it somehow carried an immense power behind it.

"This room.."

Entering the room, Duan Li could feel that the spiritual Qi inside it was completely cut-off from the outside, as if it were a separate dimension in itself. This feeling was similar to that of when he followed the Principal and entered the latter's personal dimension.

The room however, was nothing special in itself and was devoid of the extravagance that the main hall of the Jiu Bank building showcased to them earlier. In fact, there was not a single decoration at all and the furniture consisted of only two sofas with a coffee table in between them.

Right now, there was a middle-aged looking person in a peculiar white robe sitting at one of these sofa that had closed his eyes shut while sipping a cup of hot coffee.

Looking at the subtle aura this person was emitting, Duan Li could feel that this middle-aged man in front of them was far from ordinary!

Taking a seat on the opposite sofa, Duan Li and Shen Lu felt quite nervous for some reason. As customers with loads of money, the one whom should feel nervous here should instead be the bank itself and not the other way around.

This was because in typical with how a bank operates to generate its revenues, was by using the money of their customers and forward them in many investment deals and opportunities.

If a rich customer decided to not store their money inside the bank, then the bank itself could be said to have lost quite a significant amount of future revenue that they could have actually made!

"Let me introduce the person in front of esteemed customer here, this is Liu Sheng Juan, the Managing Director of the Jiu Bank company from our main headquarter." the lady employee said with a trace of worship apparent in her eyes as she said the latter's name.

Pu!

Duan Li might not know what status does a person with the title of a Managing Director held in their hands, but Shen Lu choked on himself specifically because he knew!

To think that the Managing Director of the Jiu Bank company would appear here himself to meet at them personally, just how much spirit stones was his Brother here planning to deposit?!

A thousand? Or perhaps two?

But those are still a meager amount for a figure as such!

One has to know that a Managing Director was someone that stood at the very top of the hierarchy of the Jiu Bank company, an existence only second in both influence and power below the Emperor of the Jiu Empire himself!

"Show me your gold-black master card." Liu Sheng Juan said, after which, Duan Li handed out to him.

Woongg!!

With a flip of his hand, a certain magical device appeared on the coffee table with a slot opening to it at the center. Pushing the card into this slot, a hologram then appeared above it, showing Duan Li's current total credit points, and beside it was marked as 'transferred from' with the name of 'Bian Tianyu' signed on it.

This was the name of the Principal!

"A total amount of 700,000 credit points... it seems that the bastard has pulled a fast one on me." Liu Sheng Juan said as smirked slightly.

Pu!

Seeing that total amount of credit points, both the lady employee and Shen Lu choked on the spot.

700,000 credit points?!

What an absurd amount of money!!!

Swerving his head to look at Duan Li besides him emotionally, Shen Lu almost shed his manly tears out of the sheer emotions that was bubbling in his heart!

To think that I've sworn an oath of loyalty with someone so rich!

Hais!

This must be the result from my accumulation of good karma that I've been diligently living out in my many previous life before..

The Heavens were truly not blind to one's good deed!

Meanwhile, the lady employee was equally elated as well, for she just managed to hit the jackpot!

With this, her entire future was set on course. This was because she would definitely earn the Managing Director's personal recognition of her effort in procuring such a priceless client!

"Tell me, how much are you planning to deposit in high quality spirit stones worth? 2 million? 5 million?" Liu Sheng Juan asked.

To him, this was something that was absolutely a first time experience, even for someone like him. A student of the academy with such an amount of questionable wealth, the only answer as to how the other party could possess this colossal fortune was most definitely because the other party encountered a sort of a treasure tomb of epic proportions somewhere!

After all, the student in front of him was just a meager being at the pinnacle stage of the Foundation establishment realm.

Truly not worth a mention at all.

Therefore, a small existence as such would not have the capability to procure such a fortune in any other way.

Cupping his chin, Duan Li thought for a moment.

"Well.. I'm not really good in arithmetic so I'm not really sure of how much these would amount to.. but just have a look first."

Huala!

With a wave of his hand, the entire room was filled with a thick presence of spiritual Qi to the point that they materialized to form a liquid river of spiritual Qi floating in the air!

BOOM!!

At this moment, Liu Sheng Juan, Shen Lu and the lady employee found their entire minds to burst forth like a broken dam as they fell into a daze looking at those mythical spirit stones that surrounded them.

"T-This.. everything here are.. Superior quality spirit stones!" Liu Sheng Juan said in disbelief.

This was the first time he had ever witnessed someone took out such an impressive amount of Superior quality spirit stones from a seemingly an ordinary stash.

He casted a quick glance towards that spatial ring on Duan Li's ring finger.

"The saying of not judging something from its appearance has just been displayed to me to its fullest glory right now." he said inwardly while subconsciously clenching his hand into a fist in agitation.

Even for someone like him that has always maintained a calm state through everything else, at this moment, he could not help but to feel his entire mental state has been rattled by the sight before him.

With these amount of spirit stones and its total worth, Duan Li could practically buy the whole Jiu Empire himself and would still have some spare changes to last him a few generation!

With a swift gaze, Liu Sheng Juan made a quick mental calculation.

There must be at least more than a hundred Superior Quality spirit stones here to induce such an effect to the surrounding spiritual Qi into a floating river like this!

However, at this moment, he could not help but to sighed out.

"This.. this is no longer beyond my ability nor my authority to accept such a colossal amount of deposit. I'm afraid that we had to meet the Emperor himself for this.." Liu Sheng Juan said as he shook his head.

In theory, exchanging spirit stones to credit points was a concept similar to mortgaging a part of the Empire in order to obtain the funds to accelerate the numerous economic activity and development happening within the Empire.

This was why black-gold master card holders could possess a certain influence sphere within the Jiu Empire.

If Liu Sheng Juan were to accept Duan Li's immense wealth right now and exchange it to credit points, he would basically have to mortgage the entirety of the Jiu Empire and its assets to Duan Li!

Naturally, this was impossible to be done as only the Emperor himself could decide for something of this scale.

As a businessman, he was willing to accept it. But, as a subject of the Empire, there was no way he would dare to cross the Emperor!

There was a saying that a man's true worth is not judged with his appearance, wealth, power and influence, but their loyalty to a cause.

And in his case, Liu Sheng Juan had made an oath of fealty to the Emperor back then by using both his name and ancestors to the Heavens.

Only fools would dare to reneged their oath that was already witnessed by the Heavens!

Since he was already out of the picture, he could only hoped that the Emperor would make a wise decision on this.

With such an amount of wealth, if the Emperor was willing to mortgage the whole Jiu Empire to Duan Li, the numerous development plans that they had prepared for the future could be enacted even earlier!

This means that the Empire would be able to enter the state of golden age - a total overhaul increment that could accelerate development progress by leaps and bounds, possibly by more than a decade!

The trade-off for this golden age to happen however, was that since the Emperor was the ruler of the entire Jiu Empire and Duan Li was the owner of the Empire himself, this would basically means that Duan Li was above the Emperor himself in terms of status!

Such a situation has no precedence in the entire history of the Tian continent before!

Gulp!

"I.. I would have to meet the Emperor?" Duan Li said as he swallowed his saliva.

He had not imagined that things would escalate as such.
