This sort of technology, Fuyo had never seen before.

"The best part about this is anyone can use it. Even people who can't use magic despite this being a magic device."

"Did you have any more questions?"

Fuyo shook his head, he was simply amazed. Tuzai was right, this would definitely be useful. At this current moment in time Fuyo couldn't open the bags of holding because all his meridians were closed. So he couldn't carry them around and use the spirit stones stored inside.

Now he wouldn't need to drag Tuzai all around town with him when he went and purchased goods.

"Okay, I will deposit your money now."

She lifted up her hand and waved up stairs and the bank manager came down. He was a chubby fella but he had an amazing business suit on that made him look like the top dog. Behind his back were the same colorful wings as Jasmines.

"Jasmine, my daughter. You know you don't need to call me down when you make a deposit."

"Ah yes father but this time it's a bit different. I've issued them both platinum cards."

"You what! You know we can't just issue those cards out, there are rules and procedures. Even nobles don't qualify for them. Why did you do this?"

"Well, this young gentleman here is Fuyo Long and this young maiden is Tuzai La Morto."

The old man's head started to sweat when he heard their names.

"Has it been confirmed?"

"Yes, they already signed the soul contract."

When you sign a soul contract you have to use your birth name, a lot of orphans are unable to sign soul contracts because they don't know their birth name. Divinator's are able to look to the stars are uncover someone's true name but their services are usually quite pricey so not many orphans care too much for their true name unless they are required to sign a soul contract.

"Still.... It was still too hasty to..."

"They want to deposit 5560 gold."

The old man nearly fell over when he heard this, "What! Why didn't you say something sooner?"

Fuyo and Tuzai watched them bickering and laughed at the scene. The father started out scolding her about it and now he's telling her to hurry up and get on with it.

Tuzai pulled out the two bags of holdings and 1,112 morganite spirit stones flew out onto the table. The old man quickly tallied it up and then deposited the money in his own bag of holding.

The old man then pulled out a pen. It looked like a normal pen but the ink was his very made from his blood.

He grabbed Fuyo's, Tuzai's, Jasmines and even his own card. He quickly did the maths in his head. He wrote +5000 Gold on Tuzai's and +5000 Gold on Fuyo's. Then he wrote +556 Gold on his own card and then +560 Gold on his daughter's card.

Jasmine had actually calculated the math's wrong. She only worked out 5% profit of one deposit not two. So it was actually double her previous estimate. She trembled in excitement when she saw her father add those numbers to her card she couldn't help but let out the widest smile one could imagine.

Her father was equally as happy, Wsc village is quite the small village so when he was promoted and given this village branch to run he was less than happy. The bank manager takes a 5% cut of every deposit but there weren't many deposits.

Fuyo clenched his fist, 'This is highway robbery!' he thought to himself. But he needed the card for convenience. He didn't know how long it would be until he opened a meridian, plus it could come in handy. It's definitely easier than counting up hundreds of spirit stones every time he makes a deal, on top of that, spirit stones take up a lot of space.

But now he was burden free, he kept trying to encourage himself so he wouldn't think about the massive amounts of money that just got taxed.

He was silently crying inside.

They walked out of the bank with their new platinum cards; it was actually quite hard to tell them apart from silver cards because they were almost the exact same color.

"Those kids sure are rich, even Elders of the Dragon Empire wouldn't be randomly carrying around that much wealth."

"You're right Grandpa; we should always treat them with courtesy and the utmost respect every time we see them. That boy's last name was Long but he claims he has no idea where his name comes from, if that were true and he was just some bastard child then how could he be so rich?"

"You are right my daughter, but he must want to keep a low profile that's why he lied about his origins. It's not our place to get involved in these things. I can see your body is still trembling." He smiled and looked at his daughter.

"I can't help it." She tried to stop her body from involuntarily moving.

"My 5% cut was equal to 30 years of work, at first I was angry that sent us to this back water land but I now I can't be anymore grateful."

Her father felt the same way she did, not only did they make a big profit from their deposit but they also signed a contract for a spirit credit card. If they ever decide to go over the limit, then they can expect 10% each from their paid interest. It means their future would be brighter from this day forth.

"I just remembered, I never charged them for their cards and contract. They owe me 50 silver each."

"Don't worry about it. Don't let yourself be blinded by small incremental gains. We have already gained a lot today. It's not good to be too greedy."

She nodded her head in agreement; her father is a wise man.

Meanwhile...

"Hehe, those suckers might have ripped me off but I still struck back. Although it was only a little revenge, it still feels so sweet. Even if they find me, they should never expect to get those 50 silvers back. Muahahahaha!"

Fuyo laughed manically as they flew through the air on their way to the bone relic pavilion.
