5 minutes later, an attendant came running to the office holding in his hand a small case; inside the case was the 4th class formation-breaking talisman.
Carla: Give the talisman to Mr. Allen.
Alan: That won't be necessary, as I can't activate it yet. I have only just awakened, so I don't have enough Ena.
Completely forgetting that the one in front of them is a teenager, everyone, including President Carla, was surprised by this ordinary fact.
Indeed, Alan is only 16 years old and had just awakened.
Alan: May I suggest that Mr. Lawrence activate the talisman after all? Looking at him, he seemed very curious to find out what was inside.
Lawrence couldn't believe his ears. The moment he listened to what Allen had said, the only thing that was in his mind was, What if he used the talisman and found nothing inside the box? Even though Allen recommended bringing the talisman and using it to open the hidden compartment inside the box, he didn't specifically insist on it, so if Lawrence was the one who opened it and they found nothing, a great deal of responsibility would fall on his head.
Breaking into a cold sweat He froze in his place. Not daring to move or say another word.
Carla looked at Alan, who was mentally tormenting Lawrence; she noted down in her mind that Alan was very vengeful. He was the dangerous type who could wait 100 years to get revenge. This kind of person should not be crossed.
With a smile on her face, Carla said:
Mr. Jan will open it using the talisman, and I will not hold anyone responsible. Why don't you stop teasing Lawrence, Mr. Alan?
Alan smiled and nodded his head.
Mr. Jan: Then please allow me to use the talisman.
After Mr. Jan said this, he took the talisman from the attendant and stood in front of the box; a massive amount of Ena circulated around him as he chanted. A moment later, light enveloped the room, and there was a clicking sound.
The talisman burned to ash, and a small compartment at the back of the box opened.
Everyone got it around the table to take a look; inside the small compartment there was a transparent stone lying there. Looking at the stone, President Carla's eyes shined with a light full of curiosity.
Mr. Jan took the small stone in his hand as he tried to examine it and identify its origin.
A few minutes went by, and there was only silence in the room; some couldn't believe their eyes, and some were burning with curiosity about the small stone.
Carla: Jan, can you identify the stone?
Unable to contain her curiosity, Carla asked Jan.
Jan: I apologize, President, but I can't. I don't know what this stone is.
Carla looked at Alan, waiting for him to explain or say something.
Alan: I have read about this transparent stone in an ancient book, and I remember it is called the skystone. It's a 5th-grade heaven and earth treasure. I can't tell you the exact value, but the only thing I can say is it's very precious.
The moment Mr. John and Carla heard Alan say it's a fifth-grade heaven and Earth treasure, their expression changed.
Carla: Mr. John, immediately send the stone to be identified at the Evolution Master Association.
Mr. John immediately got out of the office running; meanwhile, inside the office, everyone looked at Alan as if they were looking at an alien.
Carla: Mr. Alan, why don't you come with me to my office? I can say without a doubt that you pass the assessment with flying colors.
Alan: Please lead the way, president.
Carla: everyone else in here there will be a staff coming to to follow up with you.
Everyone watched as Alan and Carla alongside with Laura got out of the office.
Especially Lawrence who looked like a dead zombie right now.
Inside the office of the president at the top floor Alan sat on the couch next to him Laura and right the front of him was president Carla
Carla: Our chamber of commerce very much needs a talent like yours, Mr. Alan, but I'm more interested in becoming friends with you, so what do you say? Can I call you Alan?
Out of nowhere Carla with a teasing smile on her face asked Alan.
Alan: you can call me Alan President Carla.
With a slight smile on her face, she responded.
Carla: Huh, it seems that Alan doesn't want to become friends with me. If I call you Alan, you have to call me Carla; there is no need for president.
With a fake disappointed expression on her face Carla teased Allen.
Watching this beauty, who was feigning sadness, Alan, for the first time in his life, felt that he had understood the feeling of a kept man.
The one who was the most shocked inside the room was Laura, as she had never seen her president and best friend interacting with another man like this.
At that moment, President Carla's terminal rang.
At the other end of the line, Mr. Jan, who was breathless, reported.
Mr. Jan: President, I have confirmed that the skystone is a fifth grader having an earth treasure; Mr. Alan was absolutely right.
Carla: What is the estimated value according to the association?
Mr. John: If sold immediately in a hurry, it's around 50 million Federation dollars, but if we putt it up for auction, it definitely can get much more. Actually, I already have multiple offers from within the Evolution Masters Association.
Alan, who had always maintained his stoic and level-headed persona, couldn't help but be shocked after he heard the number.
A huge smile crept onto Carla's face.
After hanging up, she looked at Alan as if she was looking at the Golden Goose.
Carla: Laura, will you me to a drafted for special designated contract.
Laura, though she couldn't believe what had happened in front of her, immediately brought the contract to the president.
Carla: Alan I would like to provide you with our special employment contract. This contract will give you a great deal of freedom. You can come at your own time, simply by appraising three times a month or on a special occasion when we need your expertise. Other than that, you do not have to come here, though I would appreciate it if you would.
Other than that, you will have a fixed salary whether you have appraised or not of 300,000 federation dollars every month, plus for every treasure that you find and appraise, like the box, which we didn't know about its value, you will get 50% of the item's price.
And if you need any resources, our chamber of commerce will definitely do its best to procure them for you.
Allan, who listened to what Carla said, couldn't help but be shocked; with such terms, his employment not only will provide him with the necessary resources and financial capital, but it won't take a lot of his time so he can free himself for cultivation and taking care of his beasts. This was a heaven-sent contract.
Carla continued.
After you finish the paperwork, please provide us with your bank account. 25 million federation dollars will be deposited in your account by the end of the day.
Alan: Wait, you mean that I will get a cut from finding the skystone, but I haven't yet signed the contract yet?
Carla: Of course it is what you deserve, and signing a contract is a formality. If you hadn't identified it, we probably would have sold it for $50,000 Federation dollars, although we used a fourth-class formation-breaking talisman that is worth around 5 million Federation dollars. We will definitely get much more than 50 million Federation dollars, so you have become my own God of wealth, and I hope that you will become my close friend.
Alan: Then allow me to call you big sis Carla.
Carla, who listened to what Alan had called her. was extremely pleased.
Carla: "Then, as your big sister, I won't let you suffer. In the future, you are still a student, so you only need to come three times a month or maybe once a week. If there is no urgent need to appraise new items, you can come at your own time. You also have to let your sister take you out to a meal."
Alan was a little embarrassed as he saw how close the distance between them had become.
Carla: "Why don't you give your appraising certificate to Laura? Other than being the head of my HR division, she's also one of my best friends. You can call her Big Sister Laura."
Alan immediately took the expert appraisal certificate and handed it to Laura, but the moment he did, both Laura and Carla were shocked.
Laura: You are an expert appraiser. Didn't you take the exam with Lawrence and Jaden?
Alan: Yes, but I took the third stage where they stopped at the second stage, and I passed it at that time. A kind elder who was the head examiner gave me the name of your association and recommended you to me. Plus, he gave me a recommendation letter.
Taking out the recommendation letter and handing it over to Carla
After reading the recommendation letter, Carla said with the dry smile on her face.
Carla: "Alan, the two open positions were for adapt appraisers. If an expert appraiser came looking for a job, there would have been no need for the test at all. Mr. John himself is an expert appraiser. You also have a recommendation letter from Grandpa Yan. Why didn't you take it earlier? With just this letter, you could be hired in any chamber of commerce in Howler Town."
Alan: You said Grandpa Yan, so…
Carla: Yes he's my grandfather, for God's sake who in these days send a letter of recommendation let alone to his own granddaughter He's clearly playing a prank on all of us.
Laura, who clearly hadn't processed reality yet, could only nod her head, agreeing with Carla.
