…
The night is dark, but a strange phenomenon is currently happening inside the secret facility of the provincial hospital. A strong powerful LEP energy can be felt by every person within the vicinity of the hospital.
The experts didn't expect that such an occurrence would happen. And they knew that what the old doctor was telling them a while ago is true. They are all watching the video feed that is happening inside the room and could see how the woman is currently floating up from the hospital bed.
Then her figure slowly sat down in a meditative posture and a visible tornado-like wind is currently revolving around her.
"Will the strong room be okay? I can hear the creaking sound of the metal door even from here." One of the experts said in a low voice.
"Sigh… we should have taken her to someplace. I should propose to create a separate facility for those who would be having this phenomenon in the future. Luckily she is a wind attributed esper if it was fire, or earth, or water… then…" the old doctor muttered.
"Doctor, her… her energy level, her energy level is rising now up to 25… if this becomes stable, then she would be the second most powerful esper in the country." A staff monitoring the LEP energy inside the room reported.
"Good… good… Hahaha… this is wonderful. The city can now stand on our own and explore the deep forest." The old doctor chuckled.
Suddenly a person enters the room and everyone turns their attention towards him.
"Doctor Green, I'm glad that you are here. Look, we now have another super esper among our countrymen. Haha…" the old doctor said.
"Are you sure Doctor Carson? This… how did this happen? I was told that she was in a critical condition a while ago." Doctor Evan Green asked.
"Haha… I will you that later. For now, we have to watch this momentous event." Old Doctor Carson said with a happy and excited smile on his wizened face.
…
Meanwhile, Curt has sent a message to Jenny Mae apologizing for what he did. He just said that he missed her too much.
And of course, there was no reply as usual. So he just shrugs it off and wanted to sleep. However, he could feel the strange phenomenon in the LEP surrounding him. He knew that the woman at this time had a huge breakthrough.
That night was a very sleepless night for most espers. Although they didn't know what is happening, they have their doubts and conjectures, but none dare arrive at a conclusion.
…
Two days have passed since then and it was another great morning for the citizens of the Kor City.
However, right at this moment, inside the shop, a handsome well-suited young man is currently standing at the door while turning his gaze all over the small shop and behind him stood around five people wearing business style suits.
Boss Lan is also currently scrutinizing the young man with one of his brows raised.
No one talked for a while, and Curt just sat in one corner and acted his part as a shop attendant.
After the young man seems to have been satisfied after looking for a while, he suddenly strode inside and looks at Boss Lan. He snaps his finger and a business-suited woman takes a step forward and quickly handed Boss Lan a business card.
"We are from the Loyal Business group from the capital." The woman introduces.
Upon hearing her words, Boss Lan was a bit dumbfounded. Curt on the other side, showed a bit of interest, and lots of ideas are currently entering his mind. But he just decided to listen to the conversation.
He trusted Boss Lan's ability to do business. Although the middle-aged man is a bit greedy, he knew his limits and knows when to strike and when to retreat.
"Alright, please this way, ladies and gentlemen." Boss Lan said as he gestures for them to follow him.
The group walks to his small office, and before closing the door, he gave Curt a glance and winks.
He didn't know what Boss Lan is thinking but from the wink and that sly smile on his face, he knew that those people would be played in his hands. But of course, he didn't want to think that such a big company would lose that badly when it comes to business negotiation with Boss Lan.
As of now, they only have a small niche in the market and their customer is only the locals with a few coming from other towns and cities. However, since the product is limited, those people who already noticed this didn't spread the words anymore. They didn't want to have more competition in buying those magical pieces of stuff.
At this time, Curt didn't have much to do and decided to read some news on his phone.
He was currently astounded by those people on social media who spread the news of the protagonist who helps blocks the broken barrier in the city. Although many have negative speculations there are still far too many positive comments online.
But what confuses him is that they are keeping everything silent as of now. It has already been two days and he knows that the woman has already recovered from her state.
While thinking, he saw a familiar figure walking towards the shop. It was that annoying rich young brat who is the son of one of the richest men in the city, Jake Heidi.
Upon seeing Curt, the young man immediately ran happily towards his side and handed him a black box.
"What's this?" Curt asked in confusion.
"Open it, it's a surprise…" Jake said with a grin.
"I haven't seen you for a few days and now you're giving me a gift… suspicious very suspicious," Curt said which gained the chuckle of the female employee on the side.
"Oh, come on dude… this is my present for you as my master. How could you say it's suspicious?"
"Hey, hey… I didn't say that you can be my disciple…"
"I know, I know… but I will convince you with the sincerity… Hehe…"
"Sincerity my ass… more like, pestering…" Curt chuckled while he opens the box.
Suddenly from the inside, he saw something which almost made his eyes fall from their sockets. There are two red gemstones inside the box and it seems that they are still unpolished. Although they are not diamonds, Curt slowly caresses the stones and felt that he could make it work. However, after further inspections, he can deduce that they are enough to hold at least 1 cubic meter of space.
Seeing this, Curt could not express himself. But if he accepts this gift and didn't teach this young man anything, then he would an ungrateful bastard, right?
"Sigh… This gift of yours is really something. Alright, you've got me. Come here starting tomorrow after class. We will start your training then." Curt said as he decided to at least teach this sapling the basics and it's up to him if he can persevere.
"Thank you, master! Hahaha…" Jake Haidi laughs as he runs outside the shop with glee.
Meanwhile, inside the office of Boss Lan, a fierce discussion is happening. Since Boss Lan already has an idea of how Curt made those trinkets, he is also aware of how valuable they are. Though they are disposable, they still give a great boost to many people in their times of need.
However, right now, he is facing one of the most famous companies in the country and it seems that they have come prepared.
They wanted to patent the three products on their shelf and wanted to buy the rights for those things. However, they also asked if the shop can still make others just like those, just in case.
Boss Lan thought for a while and shook his head.
With that answer, the group began to draft the agreement which Boss Lan carefully reads. Seeing the amount they offered he almost fell from his chair. Deep inside his heart, he sighs heavily and thought that the rich and famous truly are something.
Money is nothing to them. And as a small-time businessman, he also knew what their store lacks. But as of now, he could not decide on this and needs to ask Curt for confirmation. He secretly texted Curt of the price offered and waited.
When he receives the reply, he just shook his head and laughed inside his heart. He knew that the young man is nonchalant about these things. So he just agreed to the contract and signed it.
Although the condition is simple, as they just needed to just teach the process to the people under the company, Curt knew that it's not. It all depends on the person who is learning it. With just a little mistake, then the stone is already wasted. Plus the secret is the glyph that Curt is using to be able to combine the LEP energy and the symbol on the stone.
After the contract signing, Boss Lan introduces Curt to the group and told them that he would be the one teaching the skill. After the finalization of the contract, Curt's phone suddenly rang, and upon checking he was a bit dumbstruck.
Although he tried to control himself, Boss Lan still saw that his hand which is holding the phone is shaking.
With a smile on his fat face, he patted Curt's shoulder and waved goodbye to the people. Meanwhile, the two noticed that the handsome young man stayed in the store.
"Ah��� General Manager Chan… you…" Boss Lan said feeling a bit confused.
"Haha… I'm staying for a bit, Boss Lan. I hope you don't mind. I feel something different inside this store… It's like… it's like a safe haven… " the young man surnamed Chan said while closing his eyes and trying to feel his surroundings while taking a deep breath.
"No problem… I hope you feel fine in this small place." Boss Land politely said.
The young man observes the long line of people and what they are buying and his curiosity suddenly grew.
"They are lining up just to buy coffee and tea pouches?" he asked Boss Lan while feeling a bit intrigued.
