very good proposal

David frowned; he felt a slight sense of danger from the girl, even when she was not looking directly at him.

Sensing the arrival of David, Fiona looked at him and was momentarily stunned.

What a handsome guy!

Such a thought automatically came to her mind. Black hair and equally black eyes coupled with his chiseled face, made David look extremely attractive.

Soon, she noticed one more thing: there was not a single strand of mana in David's surroundings.

That was also one of the reasons for her confusion.

Her Crystallisation of Life allowed her to feel the mana emitted by cultivators unconsciously.

Even Golden Core experts emitted a little bit of mana unknowingly.

"Was he using a magical treasure to hide..."

"Or was he a powerhouse above Golden Core…"

When Fiona's train of thought reached this point, her heartbeat started to accelerate.

David also found her gaze to be uncomfortable.

"Ahem! Bryan, who is she…?"

He coughed and looked at Bryan questioningly.

"Well, she is Fiona Allison, my friend."

Bryan introduced her with a smiling face.

When David heard his words, he couldn't help but smile strangely.

A middle-aged man and a girl in her early twenties.

Bryan knows his game.

"The girl was clearly stronger than Bryan, maybe..."

David shook his head to get rid of unnecessary thoughts; he looked at Bryan and smiled knowingly.

"Welcome, please take a seat." David gestured to both of them to sit down on the chairs beside him.

Meanwhile, he placed three cups of coffee in front of them.

Fiona seemed to be lost in her own thoughts and didn't care about the sudden appearance

Of the cup.

Bryan, on the other hand, looks at the coffee in front of him with excitement. He hadn't forgotten the miraculous effect of Coffee in front of him.

Without paying attention to the two of them, David gently took a sip, and a pleased expression appeared on his face.

His taste buds seemed to be screaming in joy, demanding more.

Similar to David, Bryan also eagerly held the pristine white cup in his hand.

Different from the casual style of David, Bryan's actions were gentle and careful, as if he was holding the most precious treasure in the world.

Bryan brought the cup closer to his face and savored the aroma.

The rising steam from the cup made his skin tingle with joy.

He took a sip and immediately muttered.

"So satisfying."

"Impossible." Beside him, Fiona looked at the coffee and shouted in shock. Her eyes were opened wide as she looked at the coffee incredulously.

When she took a single sip, she felt her body filling with an unprecedented sense of euphoria and energy; the bottlenecks that she was facing melted away like snow under the sun.

Some people might say, what's the big deal? Even Bryan had broken through, when had taken a sip, so what's so surprising about it.

But, Bryan was a lowly Body Refining cultivator, while Fiona was a full-fledged expert at the Foundation Building Realm.

Fiona looked at Bryan and David for confirmation, if they were really witnessing this strange scene.

However, both of them were looking at her oddly, especially David, whose gaze was a little disdainful.

Fiona took a deep breath and calmed down; her earlier conjecture that she had regarding David solidified.

Only an expert above Golden Core could pull out treasure like this as if they were candies.

David looked at her strange behavior with a poker face. He could feel respect and a little bit of worship in her eyes.

"Okay! This girl was crazy."

David silently concluded in his head and decided to stay away from her in the future.

Time continued to pass in silence. The three of them sat together and sipped their coffee.

Before the situation could turn even more uncomfortable, Bryan broke the ice and spoke hesitantly.

"Ahem! Mr. David, can you please lend me money once again?"

David looked at him and spoke while raising his eyebrows.

"I am afraid, I can't. Mr. Bryan, you have not repaid your previous loan.

"My hands are tied. I can't issue more loans to you."

David's voice was a little apologetic. However, in his head, he couldn't help but think why he needed more money.

And to be honest, he wasn't in favor of loaning money. After he found out how effective investments were, he was also running low on cash.

Suddenly, David's eyes flashed. He sat up straight and said while looking at Bryan seriously.

"I have a proposal for you Mr. Bryan."

Hearing his words, Bryan's face also turned serious. Bryan had a vague feeling that this was the moment that was going to change his life forever.

David had decided to sell the coffee through Bryan, and it wasn't a decision that he and randomly taken, but one that he had thought a lot about.

He needed to bolster the bank capital; moreover, he didn't want to find himself in a situation where a gold mine was in front of him but he couldn't buy it because of money.

But he was also worried, given Bryan's and Fiona's reaction. Would he able able to handle the task?

For David, the cost of Coffee was negligible and he could buy almost an infinite number of times from the shop.

After hearing David's proposal, a smile that was difficult to conceal appeared on his face.

Fiona was also looking at this scene with bated breath. She was filled with mixed emotions, listening to their conversation. Fiona felt the world was going to change forever and the image of David in her head became even more mysterious.

David told him to come back here five days later and he would give him a batch of freshly brewed coffee.

Although David could give him right here and now, but he didn't want to flood the market.

He wanted coffee to become a novelty that was difficult to get their hands on.

Five days later.

Bryan came back along with Fiona. This time, he looked at the Origin Guard a little fearfully.
