28 The medal was appraised!

Chapter 28

"Enter."

Oliver heard a sharp feminine voice on the other side of the door as they entered the room.

What greeted him was a normal room with carpeted floor, walls with a wooden finish, multiple shelves carrying various books and antiques placed in them…

In the middle of the room was an office desk and behind it was a woman sitting.

Oliver looked at her stunning appearance and could not help but shake his head secretly.

In the novel, it was often mentioned how beautiful the people were; the beauty standards in this world were way ahead than his previous world. A supermodel from his previous world could be a commoner on the streets, and no one would care.

Only the most beautiful were looked up to and praised… He wondered if it was due to the presence of esper in this world that boosted people's vitality and kept them young.

'Status.'

'My charm is level 3. This should be considered pretty high considering that even my tenfold increased strength is also at the same level.'

Seeing that he could grow up to be handsome, he felt relieved as he focused back on the woman behind the desk.

She had long raven-black hair, she was tall and had an athletic build with proper curves. Her beady eyes were piercing ice blue. She had jade-white skin that looked smooth and beautiful.

Her eyes looked cold and had a piercing gaze which would make others uncomfortable… the overall air around her reeked of superiority and power.

She was wearing a stylish dress that further emphasized her curves.

Her lips were painted with cherry-red lip gloss as she threw the receptionist a glance who quickly left the room leaving the two alone.

Her cherry-red lips moved as she picked up a document and read it out.

"Young master Oliver, the 4th son of the main family, not allowed to live with the main lineage despite sharing the same blood but no talent whatsoever—practically isolated from your own family. First time in the market and you visit small stores and coincidentally pick artifacts out of trash?"

She placed the documents back on the table as she once again met his eyes.

"Little boy, being branded as talentless, and hiding such terrifying appraisal talent? What are your intentions exactly in coming to us?"

She clasped her hands on the table and looked at him just how a noble would look at a commoner.

Oliver tried his best to maintain a poker face, while his heart was beating wildly. He didn't expect her to be able to gather so much information about him in such a short duration.

He didn't believe that she even knew who he was before he stepped inside this establishment.

'What a terrifying information network!'

He secretly exclaimed to himself; he had not expected her to even know about all his activities in the market as well.

He looked at her as a glint passed through his eyes.

In the next moment, his eyes widened, and a sharp headache followed afterward.

"Ugh-!"

He could not help but suddenly groan slightly.

The woman tilted her head, a bit confused as to what happened to the little boy in front of her.

In her perspective, he was just standing there trying to maintain a poker face to show his courage but suddenly his eyes widened and he pressed his forehead as if in pain.

And this was understandable, [Cosmic Void Gaze] was an inherent ability that was literally undetectable unless Oliver intended to let others know about it.

It could be seen that when he asked the 2nd brother to look into his eyes before, he intended to directly attack his mind so the 2nd brother was able to catch a glimpse of its power.

Otherwise, it was not detectable at all. 

At most, others would feel someone was looking at them but that's it... if someone was especially perceptive they might even feel threatened but since he was just in front of her, she didn't feel any of the above.

Also it was not a shock that she was able to see through his facade of trying to act nonchalant, she was a lot more experienced than Oliver and dealt with all sorts of people so she knew of such tactics.

And not to mention, Oliver was just a kid in her eyes who was trying hard to keep his facial muscles relaxed but was unable to do so in her presence.

'Fuck. What did I just see!?'

On the other hand, his body was tingling as goosebumps made his hair stand to no end.

Just now he had caught the glimpse of her power.

He wanted to know what her level was and how strong she was actually.

But when he saw her espera amount, his eyes almost got blinded.

It was too strong!

She was suppressing a massive amount of esper inside her body…

Her esper was like a blazing sun, radiating a brilliant glow that filled his entire vision. It was overwhelming despite not flowing out of her body.

It was stronger than anything Oliver had ever seen. He knew the moment he saw that he was in the presence of a true powerhouse.

He forcefully suppressed the anxiety in his heart, at the same time, his mind was filled with curiosity, he wanted to know what secrets she was carrying within her.

Why was she in their clan with such strength…?

"It's nothing." He smiled, a bit softly as he replied to her.

"I just want to make a couple of Neden, since you already know my situation then you should know that I am not provided with a budget like my siblings and I have to survive on my own."

He answered, carefully considering the situation at hand. What could she want from him?

She wouldn't call for him just to appraise an item, would she?

He took a deep breath.

"I heard you want to talk to me about the medal? Have you appraised it?" He couldn't help but ask.

The woman was silent observing his demeanor before she opened a drawer by her side and placed the purple medal on her desk.

"It has been appraised successfully, and I must say this is quite the thing you have stumbled upon."

Her tone carried a hint of amusement.

"This medal is not an ordinary exorcist artifact. It is the [Medal of Eternal Pain]."
