Behind the four large counters, several young and beautiful women all looked in David Bennett's direction. They never expected that even when facing someone as domineering as Charles Foster, the manager would only nod in greeting, yet now he was actually showing such a flattering expression toward this young man.

David Bennett casually handed over the card.

“This is an elite card that hasn’t been activated yet. It’s the first time I’ve seen one in our town. If you activate it, you’ll receive a starting fund of 100,000 yuan, and… a vial of body refining potion!”

Chapter 8: Life’s Triumph

100,000 yuan!

According to David Bennett’s calculations, he knew his future prospects would far exceed this 100,000 yuan, but after feeling the five-yuan bill in his pocket, he was still a bit excited.

His mother had lost her job, and although he had already become a martial artist, he hadn’t gone out hunting yet, so making money didn’t seem easy.

Now, this problem was solved in an instant.

That Henry Clark really did help him out of a tight spot.

But compared to the 100,000 yuan, what David Bennett cared about most was that vial of body refining potion.

Relying on food and training to improve his strength was a bit slow now, and in three days, Henry Clark would take him to participate in a major exam.

This kind of exam was a rare opportunity. David Bennett wanted to soar to new heights, to let his mother and sister live in the city, and for that, he needed even greater strength.

“Take it out!”

After receiving David Bennett’s confirmation, the manager in the suit quickly swiped David Bennett’s card on a small box, and the information displayed shocked him even more.

Because this wasn’t an ordinary elite card—above the elite card was the insignia of the Xinglong Army.

This unremarkable young man was actually someone reserved by the Xinglong Army!

In an instant, countless thoughts raced through the manager’s mind: this young man would surely achieve great things in the future, and now was the chance—if he could latch onto this opportunity, there would definitely be benefits down the road.

Thinking of this, the manager became even more respectful. He loudly ordered those around him, “What are you all standing around for? Hurry up and serve this gentleman some tea!”

As he spoke, he turned to David Bennett with even more enthusiasm: “Sir, could you please tell me your birth certificate number?”

This question stumped David Bennett—he really didn’t know his own certificate number, since he’d never used it before. He frowned, and the perceptive manager immediately realized and quickly said politely, “No need to worry, sir. I can look it up here. Just tell me where you go to school and your name.”

The women sitting behind the bank counters now looked as if they’d seen a ghost. As the small box kept flashing, the manager busied himself quickly behind a monitor, and only then did David Bennett have time to look around the bank.

Black marble floor tiles, glass as clear as crystal—everything seemed to exude elegance and nobility.

And the women behind the counters, while not absolute beauties, all had delicate, fair skin and were quite refined.

As David Bennett glanced at those women, one or two who looked about twenty even shot him fiery glances.

Such blatant eye contact made David Bennett blush and his heart race.

Although he wasn’t interested in these women, he was still a teenager—how could he withstand such teasing?

“You have pretty good working conditions here!” Thinking of his mother’s hard labor, David Bennett couldn’t help but sigh.

“Mr. Bennett, we’re actually short one staff member here. The monthly salary isn’t high, just 500 yuan. If you know anyone who needs a job, please help us with a referral.”

The manager finished David Bennett’s verification, and upon hearing this, took the opportunity to flatter him.

A referral? That works too!

David Bennett was momentarily stunned, then immediately understood the manager’s intention, secretly admiring his social skills, but outwardly replied calmly, “In that case, I’ll trouble you with it.”

“No trouble at all, no trouble at all. My surname is Fang, Edward Cooper. I hope you’ll look after me in the future, Mr. Bennett.”

As he spoke, Edward Cooper took a notice from the drawer and handed it to David Bennett: “This is our bank’s employment letter. The person you refer can start work tomorrow.”

Then he added, “Mr. Bennett, everything is ready. I’ll have someone fetch the body refining potion for you right away!”

David Bennett took the employment letter and saw that everything was official, except the name wasn’t filled in.

“Thank you, Manager Cooper. By the way, please help me withdraw 50,000 yuan for now.”

“Of course!” Edward Cooper was quick and efficient. In no time, he personally brought out a vial of green potion and 50,000 yuan in cash.

The 50,000 yuan was in thick stacks, and Edward Cooper also handed David Bennett a delicate little handbag: “This is a complimentary gift from our bank, Mr. Bennett, please use it for now.”

David Bennett nodded, understanding this was a kind gesture from Edward Cooper, and after accepting the handbag, he bid farewell.

“Mr. Cooper, I’ve heard that using the body refining potion is extremely painful, but the longer the user endures, the better the absorption. Mr. Bennett, you should try to hold on as long as possible.”
