Dark Gold Card
Chapter 646
"Big Brother Heath, I'll have to trouble you to find a way to get me to Rock Bank," Xia Fei said.
Heathfield was startled. "Rock Bank? That's a rather large private bank. I wouldn't dare to say anything about the two peak races, but it's definitely one of the best in our circle. Is this brother thinking of opening an account there? I won't hide it from you; Rock Bank is indeed a top-notch confidential bank, but opening an account there isn't cheap, and there are many restrictions. "
Heathfield was very vague with his words. He knew very well that Rock Bank was a bank that was only open to high-end clients, which was why he was hinting that Xia Fei might run into a wall if he went there. After all, Xia Fei could not be considered a wealthy scion of the Law Realm, so they might not necessarily like him. Even if he brought up Heathfield or the Lionheart royalty, it would be useless. The bank only recognized money and not people.
Xia Fei smiled. "I have an anonymous account there, and I'm going there to take care of a small matter. You know who I am, so I naturally can't go there. I'm also unfamiliar with the Demon Race's territory, so I'm asking for your help."
Small account? Rock Bank did not have any small accounts, so Heathfield was rather surprised. He had not expected Xia Fei to have an account in a private bank where the rich and powerful came and went.
"Oh, if that's the case, I'll have someone send you there tomorrow, but brother, you must understand that a big city isn't like this border, where everything is done according to the rules. It won't benefit either of us if your identity is exposed, so sending you there won't be a problem, but it'll be a big problem if you go wandering around," Heathfield solemnly said. He took ten minutes to consider, seemingly unwilling.
Xia Fei patted his chest and guaranteed, "Don't worry. It's just a trip to Rock Bank. I won't be going anywhere."
Heathfield went on to explain many details and things to take note of, arranging every step of his itinerary for the next day, but he was still a little worried, so he had someone find a special compass used by the Lionheart royalty so that he could contact Xia Fei at any time. He wrote down two temporary contact numbers, saying that they were his cousins and that he could contact them if he could not reach Xia Fei. He also gave Xia Fei the token of the Lionheart royalty, and only then did he feel a little more at ease.
"Isn't Heathfield being too careful? Isn't it just a trip to the bank? Is there a need to make such a fuss? "Gui Ying said impatiently.
Xia Fei also felt that it was a little overboard. The mighty Lionheart royalty did not have to be so nervous just because he was going to the bank. There were not many clans in the entire Demon Race that were stronger than the Lionhearts, so there was no need for them to be so cautious.
Xia Fei put on a smile and agreed to all of Heathfield's requests.
"The Monolith Bank branch is in the Unicorn Immortal Constellation, which is the territory of the Cobalti people. They aren't on good terms with the Lionhearts, so if something were to happen, I might not be able to protect you. As for the other branch, it's in the Sequoia Constellation, which is the lair of the Lionhearts' mortal enemy."
"There are two branches in total, and both of them are in front of our enemy's doorstep. I'm being so serious about this matter for your own good, brother," Heathfield said sincerely.
Xia Fei naturally thanked him profusely, showing his utmost sincerity.
In the ring, Lionheart Emperor Oro also sighed. "There's nothing we can do about it. The Lionhearts have always been straightforward, and they have feuds with quite a few clans. Tens of thousands of years of grudges can't be resolved."
Xia Fei was startled. Though the Lionhearts were powerful, they had enemies everywhere, and they were not on good terms with the majority of the Demon Race clans. Why had he not heard the old demon lord mention this before? It was no wonder they were so desperate for talents. It turned out that they had too many enemies.
He began to regret letting Chen Dong join the Lionhearts, but on second thought, having too many enemies was not necessarily a bad thing. At the very least, Chen Dong, who was a fighting maniac, did not need to worry about not having a place to practice.
…
At night, Xia Fei and Chen Dong stayed in the same room. Chen Dong's entry into the Lionhearts was already set in stone, so they would not have much time to meet in the future. Thus, the two brothers would chat whenever they had the chance.
"Thank you." Chen Dong lay on the bed, his hands clutching his head. "The Demon Race isn't as scary as I imagined, and the Lionhearts' strength is truly on par with the Nine Great Clans of the White Horse Constellation. This is a chance for me, so thank you for bringing me here."
Xia Fei chuckled. "Don't speak in absolutes. You heard what Heathfield said today. It's true that the Lionhearts are powerful, but they also have many enemies. If there comes a day when you become a capable general of the clan, I'm afraid that you won't have much free time."
Chen Dong nonchalantly replied, "And here I was wondering what you wanted to say. You should understand my personality. Fighting is exactly what I want."
Xia Fei replied, "I know that you like to fight, but you don't like to kill. I'm afraid that you won't be able to refrain from killing in the Law Realm. Do you know why I always have the upper hand despite our similar cultivation?"
Chen Dong chuckled. "It's because you have a lot of good stuff in your hands. Speaking of which, it's strange. You've even managed to obtain the Holy Beast Shatterstar and the Immemorial Mystical Armament. Your luck is a little too good."
Xia Fei shook his head. "It's not as easy as it looks. I spent several days and nights collecting Furball, and I nearly vomited blood and died. Peacock Blue also overcame all obstacles along the way, and I nearly lost all hope when I fought the insectoid king Uti. Every single one of them had blood flowing from their backs."
Chen Dong replied, "I know. You're actually crazier than I am, more willing to fight, and more courageous. That's why, though you haven't been able to catch up to me in cultivation, you've always been able to suppress me."
"Now that I've settled down, what do you plan to do?" Chen Dong asked.
Xia Fei narrowed his eyes. "I won't consider anything else until I kill my enemies."
Chen Dong did not say anything else. Xia Fei's enemies were so obscure and powerful. Killing these fellows who were hiding in the shadows and stabbing him would not be easy.
…
It was time to go to Rock Private Bank and open Atlantis' treasury, and Xia Fei was rather excited.
After breakfast, Heathfield called over his personal guard captain, Lithur, who was going to teach Chen Dong the Law of Darkness.
Lithur was not as tall as Heathfield, but he was still nearly four meters tall. He was mighty, but he was not stupid. He immediately understood what Heathfield wanted him to do, so he nodded and said nothing more.
Xia Fei took a Lionheart mask and put it on. Disguising himself as Lithur's attendant, he used his spatial compass to travel to the Unicorn Immortal Constellation.
Lithur's spatial compass was not the precise type, and he was afraid that the coordinates would be wrong. Thus, he went to an empty space outside the city and then took a car to Rock Private Bank.
Along the way, he saw many blue-skinned monsters. They were not very tall, but their eyes bulged out like fish eyes, and their ears were long and erect. Even the taxi driver was the same. These were presumably the Cobalti people who were at odds with the Lionhearts.
The city was not as simple and unadorned as the White Horse Constellation, but it was very unique. There were translucent blue buildings everywhere, and most of them had pointed towers, giving it a dreamy feel.
It did not take long for Xia Fei and Lithur to reach their destination. Because they were wearing masks unique to the Lionhearts, the people around them looked at them rather strangely.
"This is Rock Private Bank. I'll be waiting for you at the entrance. Don't run around," Lithur said.
Xia Fei nodded. "Relax. I'll come out once I'm done with my business. I won't be going anywhere."
Lithur added, "Lord Heathfield has already spoken to Rock Private Bank's President Houllier. When you go in, go find him first. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them. You must always wear this mask. Remember, remember."
…
Rock Private Bank looked unremarkable from the outside. It had an old-fashioned wooden revolving door and a deserted courtyard. It was so low-key that it was almost excessive.
Xia Fei pushed open the door and entered. The customers in the bank immediately stared at him, ten-some unfriendly and cold gazes.
Xia Fei had already expected this kind of treatment, so he did not panic. Looking around, he saw several gray-skinned beings less than 1.5 meters tall behind the tall counter. Men, women, old, and young all had wrinkled faces and sparse hair. It was impossible to tell how old they were, and many of them wore old-fashioned glasses and sleeves.
Most of the people in front of the counter were Cobalti. There were also three strange-looking fellows. They were tall and thin, with pointy noses, and they wore large black robes. They looked very much like wizards from fairy tales.
"Sir, how may I assist you?" the receptionist went up to Xia Fei and asked.
"I'm looking for President Houllier. Please tell him that I'm from Black Lion City."
The receptionist hesitated for a moment before asking Xia Fei to take a seat in the waiting area. He then quickly went upstairs to report.
"I suddenly remembered a story." Upon seeing Xia Fei, an arrogant Cobalti man sitting behind him spoke to his two companions. He was not very old and was well-dressed. It was unknown which family's young master he came from.
"What story? Hurry up and tell me, "his companions asked with a mischievous smile.
The arrogant Cobalti man put down the newspaper in his hand and said, "A Cobalti man, a Tudor man, and a Lionheart man went to take a bath together. In the end, a skunk ran in, and the Cobalti man couldn't take it anymore and rushed out of the bathroom. Several minutes later, the Tudor man also came out, leaving only the Lionheart and the skunk inside."
The arrogant young man deliberately paused and looked at Xia Fei.
"What happened next? Did that Lionheart also come out? "his companion anxiously asked.
Smiling, the arrogant young master said, "After another five minutes, the skunk couldn't take it anymore and ran out with its tail between its legs."
"Hahahahaha!"
Everyone roared with laughter. This was an old joke used to mock the Lionhearts, and almost all the Cobalti people were familiar with it. They were intentionally mocking Xia Fei.
Alas, Xia Fei was not a Lionheart, so he was not angry or impulsive. The young master was very disappointed. He pursed his lips and said, "A lion will always be a lion. Not the least bit humorous."
A few moments later, the receptionist brought in a short, bespectacled man. He had the symbol of a rolling stone on his chest. He was an employee of the bank.
"The president is currently in a regular meeting. He specifically instructed me to receive you well. Please follow me inside," the short man said as he rubbed his hands together.
Xia Fei was just about to get up when the Cobalti young master coldly snorted.
"Rock Bank is opened in our Cobalti territory. Why should we Cobalti people have to line up while a stinky lion gets preferential treatment?!"
The ten-some Cobalti customers in the bank cast doubtful gazes at Xia Fei, and the bank employee also felt rather awkward. First come, first served was truly a bank rule, and it would be unfair to the other customers to give Xia Fei preferential treatment.
Xia Fei smiled. "Forget it. I'll just line up here. I won't make things difficult for you."
After saying this, Xia Fei took out that anonymous bank card and prepared to sign a number while waiting for the employee at the front desk to call him.
* Whoosh ~ *
The hall suddenly fell silent. Everyone's eyes were focused on Xia Fei's dark gold bank card, all of them clearly shocked!
