In the past, classmates who were once fairly familiar with David Bennett now looked at him with a gaze that was both awed and estranged. It was a sense of distance—a distance born from a change in status.

Originally, everyone was just an ordinary student, but in the blink of an eye, just as they were about to start struggling for their own lives, David Bennett suddenly soared to the top, proudly becoming part of the elite class that they all envied.

Moreover, that big shot from the Xinglong Army even said that David Bennett would be a D-level elite.

“David, you freak, you train for half the day at a time, damn it!” Brian Sullivan was the first to walk over, giving David Bennett a friendly punch on the shoulder.

David Bennett really enjoyed this feeling. He smiled at Brian Sullivan and said, “What are you all waiting here for?”

“Everyone wants to practice the Ape Dragon Foundation Diagram,” Brian Sullivan scratched his head and said. “At a time like this, we all want to give it our all.”

“Then why aren’t you going in? There’s plenty of space inside.”

“You’re an elite now, we wouldn’t dare disturb a big shot like you while you’re training. Once you’re done, we’ll go in.” As David Bennett agreed, Brian Sullivan waved to the others behind him and said, “Everyone, hurry up and go in.”

“Whoosh!” Over a hundred teenagers surged into the classroom like a tide. As each one passed by David Bennett, the determination in their eyes grew even stronger.

If David Bennett can do it, so can we!

Brian Sullivan was about to go in as well, but David Bennett stopped him: “Did Grace Howard come to class?”

“Grace Howard still hasn’t come. I don’t know if something happened at home.” Brian Sullivan waved his hand and said, “A man doesn’t have to be heartless. If you’re worried about her, go check on her at her house. What’s the point of guessing here?”

Actually, David Bennett wasn’t particularly infatuated with Grace Howard, but after all, this kind-hearted girl had quietly moved him more than once. Now that she hadn’t come to class for a while, what was going on? David Bennett couldn’t help but feel a vague sense of unease.

His stomach was growling with hunger, and there were still two hours before the school cafeteria opened. David Bennett quickly walked out of the school.

He rummaged through his pockets. With only five yuan bills, David Bennett really didn’t know what he could buy to eat.

Hmm, the bank!

That Henry Clark had given him a card, but he hadn’t activated it yet. As a G-level elite, there should be quite a few benefits.

Although Donglu Town was a small place, the banks here were filled with a modern atmosphere, and the security guards in their uniforms looked down their noses at everyone.

“What are you doing? Do you have a card?” Just as David Bennett was about to enter the bank, a security guard in his forties barked at him as if interrogating a criminal.

From the look in this man’s eyes, David Bennett could see contempt. After all, he’d been wearing this school uniform for years.

“If you don’t have a bank card, don’t come in here.” As the security guard spoke, he took a colorful card out of his own pocket and said proudly, “You need five thousand yuan to open an account, you know?”

David Bennett certainly didn’t have five thousand yuan, but remembering what the Xinglong Army official had said, he was full of confidence.

“How about this card?”

“Heh, a red card? Our bank has never issued a card like that. If you want to scam us, at least get your facts straight!” The security guard looked at the red card in David Bennett’s hand and sneered.

Just as David Bennett was feeling a bit disappointed, a man in a suit—clearly a successful person—hurried over to him.

“Manager Parker!” When the security guard saw the man running over, he immediately snapped his legs together and stood at attention, his face plastered with a fawning smile.

The middle-aged man in the suit seemed not to notice the security guard at all. He bent at the waist and, with a beaming smile, said politely, “Sir, are you here to do business with our bank?”

“I want to activate this card,” David Bennett said calmly to the manager.

“Sir, please come with me. You’re an elite, so you should use the elite channel!” As he spoke, the man in the suit made a welcoming gesture to David Bennett.

David Bennett nodded, glancing at the colorful card the security guard was quietly stuffing back into his pocket, then strode away.

Such a minor character wasn’t worth his attention.

But that one glance nearly made the security guard drop to his knees!

The bank’s rules were clear—even the manager didn’t dare offend such a big shot, and he had just recklessly offended him. Wasn’t that courting disaster...

The aluminum alloy automatic doors slid open, and a refreshing coolness washed over him. But compared to all that, what caught David Bennett’s attention most were the bright lights.

Electric lights!

They were actually using electricity here!

In all of Donglu Town, only here could you use electricity!

“Sir, please have a seat. May I see your card?” After moving a chair for David Bennett with great courtesy, the manager in the suit asked respectfully.
