Chapter 27: Receiving money and... Invitation?
The rest of the room was occupied by various shelves and accessories.
"Well then, please show me what you wish to sell?" she asked him to take out his items, although she was not an expert appraiser but she still had her fair share of experience as an appraiser and was a little confident in evaluating the little young master\'s materials.
Oliver glanced at her once and then withdrew, just one look from his eyes, he could tell she was not as strong as the guards outside; he could even overpower her with brute strength.
But he still did not say anything, she might have extensive knowledge, or else she wouldn\'t be the receptionist of the store belonging to Black Codex Federation.
Tap
He put his bag on the table and took a seat comfortably, crossing his legs like an arrogant young master, he told her.
"All the items in that bag. I want to know the price you could provide for them."
The receptionist\'s lips twitched slightly when she heard this, and her expression could not help but strain a bit.
She was now wondering if this spoiled young master had only come here to make some extra cash off them by selling his house furniture or something.
If that was the case indeed and then later he realizes that all he brought along were ordinary things worth nothing then it might not be good.
This kid was someone from the main family of the clan, one of the heirs probably so if she refused him or hurt his high ego, he might create trouble for their establishment.
\'Sigh, what a troublesome brat...\'
She sighed internally and opened the bag to look at the items, no matter if the situation escalated, her superior would be the one to handle him not her.
She was here only to tell the honest review of the items.
"Hmm??"
Her eyes could not help but widen slightly when she took out the items one by one.
"This... all of them are artifacts!?"
She could not help but exclaim as she looked at Oliver\'s mocking expression.
It was as if he already knew what she was thinking and how she felt embarrassed now.
She shyly lowered her head and began seriously inspecting the items one by one.
Oliver was provided with a cup of coffee to drink while the receptionist did her work.
\'This does not taste good... ugh!\'
He could not help but feel weird at the bland or plain taste of the coffee.

Half an hour later
Oliver was sipping his bland coffee with a dull expression. The drink had successfully managed to ruin his mood.
\'I will definitely introduce some fine coffee to this world in the future.\'
He made a mental note as he finished the coffee.
The receptionist was also done appraising everything, and she had a flabbergasted look on her face.
She coughed to clear the awkward atmosphere and said,
"I\'ve appraised all of the things except this."
She said as she picked up the purple medal Oliver had picked up earlier from one of the old stalls he forgot about.
He narrowed his eyes as he remembered that this was the thing that had costed him the most to purchase but since he saw the strong espera bursting out of it, he purchased it in the end.
He did not expect her to not be able to appraise it.
It was indeed a great treasure.
"Is that so? Then what? Is this what your establishment is capable of?"
His tone was superior despite being the smaller one in stature; if one looked closely, he barely reached her waist if he stood up.
The receptionist frowned and quickly said, "Sir, please don\'t think so low of us. We have experts with us; they will quickly assess the item for you. I am just an intern."
"Alright then bring it to them and get it appraised."
"Before that, would you like to know the total amount you will receive if you sell everything excluding the medal?"
The receptionist questioned.
"How much?"
"It\'ll be around 300,000 Neden, sir."
Oliver could not maintain his composure at the moment no matter what; she directly dropped a bomb on his head.
He was not expecting his items to fetch so high.
At maximum, he had expected around a 90-100k Neden but this was unexpected. Although being able to see the espera waves inside an an object was very difficult task even for an expert exorcist, he was able to achieve it quite easily.
The receptionist could not help but show a smirk as she looked at him losing his arrogant composure.
"W-Well then, take them away and give me the money. Also have the medal appraised quick."
"As you say, please wait here while I prepare your amount."
With that, the receptionist left the room, and he sighed.
\'Damn, I shouldn\'t act like this! I am sure 300,000 Neden is nothing to a young master of the clan; I must maintain my dignity or else they will not take me seriously in the future.\'
He calmed down, and the receptionist returned shortly.
She was carrying a silver tray, and on it, there was a black metal card placed.
It had the official symbol of the bank.
"Sir, here is your amount, we have stored all 300,000 Neden in this card."
Oliver picked up the card and put it in his pocket safely; he was not going to lose it this time.
"As for the medal, actually, about that, I have something to tell you." The receptionist paused for a moment before she added.
"My supervisor is directly appraising the medal and is very interested in the medal... she has invited young master to discuss something important, if you don\'t mind, I will take you to meet my supervisor."
She said in a calm tone.
Oliver could not help but be puzzled, it was so good that they wanted to discuss it personally?
"Alright." Seeing her expression, he agreed.
With that, he followed her as he saw her enter a corridor and then take an elevator.
Upon reaching the 4th floor, they stopped, and she exited the elevator followed by Oliver.
They were now in front of a room as he saw her knock at the door a few times and say, "I have brought him, madam."
"Enter."
