Chapter 4: Meet

"Can I come in?" Oliver asked again.

After all, this was the boss's office. He couldn't just walk right in because there might be other guests visiting.

Kim Hana who was still in an unprepared state spontaneously nodded, signaling to him that he could enter.

Since it was like that, Oliver immediately stepped up to the door and opened it, revealing a spacious modern office space with complete facilities.

First there were two sofas facing each other with very thick backrests while in front of each wall were rows of library cabinets full of books.

There are even three refrigerators, placed in various corners, one of which is near the desk located just behind the glass facade that leads to the street.

A woman who looked to be in her late thirties sat there.

Perhaps Isabel or Kim Hana were already among the top beauties, able to compete with celebrities and no difficulty if they wanted to model.

However, the woman behind the desk instantly made onlookers think her beauty was on another level.

Her face was so perfect with a pair of blush-red lips that were neither too wide nor too small, perfectly matching her nose that enhanced her oval-shaped facial structure.

Her neck was long while her skin was bright white, looking very healthy with faintly visible veins.

She had blonde hair that was more akin to bright gold. Just looking at it could make one feel dazzled.

It was neatly bun without leaving a strand, and such a style only made her look more vibrant.

There were no flashy accessories on her body, just one classic watch and a pair of long silver earrings that were not too long.

Her outfit consisted of trousers and a gray-striped white shirt with the top two buttons open but not to the point of exposing sensitive parts.

Perhaps if she was a woman of ordinary appearance, even with her various experiences, people would not be so impressed, but she was so beautiful.

If people heard stories about her while looking at her, they would definitely exaggerate the stories when talking about her elsewhere.

This is how a woman's beauty makes men's brains unable to function properly.

One very unfortunate thing is that she didn't get married until now. This is because she was too busy working from a young age. Her obsession with wealth outweighs anything else for who knows what reason.

It is said that she also tends to look down on men who approach her, viewing them as such disgusting creatures that many men feel embarrassed.

At her desk, she seemed very serious as she looked at her computer screen.

It took a while before she realized that her office door had been opened.

Seeing that it was a young man, not her employee, she couldn't help but be surprised.

However, then she smiled faintly.

"Oliver, why did you come? Isn't it still school time? You didn't skip class, did you?" she asked.

Her voice was beautiful, yet even when she spoke casually, there was a very dignified aura, as if it couldn't be dispelled.

The good thing was that she was not an indifferent iceberg woman. She is still a woman who socializes even with a limited circle.

To Oliver, she naturally had extraordinary friendliness and attentiveness. Otherwise, there was no way he would feel at home in her house.

She treated him like her own son, always buying him nice clothes and various amenities.

Seeing that she still looked calm even in the imminent change of the world while she had the problem of not having a constellation, Oliver had to say he admired her.

She started everything from the bottom and there didn't seem to be the slightest worry of her falling to the very bottom.

Of course, he wouldn't let that happen.

Walking over to his desk, Oliver replied, "Aunt, I have some great news for you. It may sound absurd, but I hope you're not surprised. Yeah, after all, we already live in a world that doesn't make sense with the existence of the System and will soon become even more unreasonable as the test of civilization begins."

"Eh?" The woman, Miya, clearly did not expect to hear such a thing from her nephew.

However, she seemed interested in the good news he had to say.

"What's the good news? I haven't heard any good news lately, so if there is good news, maybe I'll believe it even if it's a lie," she said in a joking tone.

She crossed her legs, pushing her chair back slightly until it touched the glass facade.

With even a small push, her desk moved to the side so that her figure was no longer obstructed.

If he wanted to chat here, he should have done it on the sofa, but Oliver had already approached her. Moving to the sofa was a waste of time, so the only solution was to reposition the table.

Still, Oliver had nowhere to sit.

However, Miya invited him to sit at her desk.

He naturally didn't sit down, just leaned against it.

"By the way aunt, it seems that your problem is not just because you offended the Deep Sea King, but because someone with a strong background is targeting you." Oliver didn't talk about the group chat right away, discussing the woman's personal problems first.

Her left eyebrow instantly raised at his words.

"Where do you know something like this?" She asked.

"My schoolmates told me about it," Oliver replied.

"Ohhh..." The woman narrowed her eyes slightly.

"How much do you know?" She asked again. seaʀᴄh thё novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"That's it, that's why I wanted to ask you who the person who targeted you was," Oliver said.

This time, the woman was silent, not saying anything while her expression seemed dreamy.

After a while, she shook her head.

"No need to talk about that. Now tell me the good news. If there's no good solution, we might be leaving Vera soon," she said.

Oliver swallowed his saliva hearing her talk about leaving Vera.

At that point, she would probably sell the company.

Spontaneously, he stared at her computer screen only to find various letters containing offers for the company.

His breathing became irregular when he saw that.

To think that the woman still looked calm when she was about to sell the company. Or perhaps she was hiding her sadness very well.

"Aunt, we don't need to move and you don't need to sell your company," he said.

When she heard that, Miya turned her face slightly upwards because she wanted to look him directly in the eye.

Her gaze had become rather sharp now.

Although she seemed friendly, she could become hot-tempered if she was put in a bad mood.

"Uhmmm..." Oliver cleared his throat and said, "Aunt, I'll allow you to peek into my Leveling System."

Because he felt that saying it was too difficult, so he preferred to show it directly.

Miya did as he asked, entering his system code into her own system.

DING!

(Someone wants to check your stats, do you allow it?)

(Yes/No)

Immediately he got a notification from his system.

Without hesitation, he allowed his aunt to check his stats.

With that, she immediately saw what he saw.

Because she was looking from top to bottom, so her reaction was quite flat at first.

After that, she looked puzzled, then her eyes narrowed slightly.

"Shadow Army, Sacred Flame, S, S, S, +," she said as if spelling out the letters.

Pa!

Suddenly she dropped the pen clamped in her fingers.

"Ahh, Oliver, where did you get these two things?" she said with an amazed expression. She even stood up immediately while her hands grabbed his shoulders, pressing them firmly.

Her eyes unblinkingly stared into his as she waited for his answer.

She finally realized that this young man had just obtained unimaginable things.

Saying they were the solution to their problems they were certainly not wrong.

No, they were not just solutions, they would help them reach a higher level.

Her breathing began to quicken as she thought that.

With their faces quite close, her breath hit Oliver's face, but it didn't bother him because her breath was very fragrant.

It was just that it made him a bit uncomfortable.

"Aunt, calm down, I'll tell you," he said, smiling wryly.

Usually it was always him who was amazed by her. Today was just the opposite.

He pushed her body back into her chair.

Fortunately she was a smart woman, easily calming down in any situation after a moment's shock.

And her calmness made it seem like nothing had happened.

Oliver began to think about where he would speak from.

In the end, he took out his phone first, opening the tele-app.

"I don't know what happened, I joined a weird group," he said, starting to show the group to the woman.

Actually, for him, the strangest part was how did the group get on the app? After all, it was a specialized app on Earth.

Unless it was really due to a system error which he also didn't know what system it was.

Miya was instantly interested in the group.

She picked up his phone and started checking the group, scrolling to the very top to read the chats since Oliver had joined.

When it came to reading, she was very fast, and understood everything she read.

After that, she asked him, "did those two skills enter your system right after you sent your system code to them?"

"Yes..." Oliver nodded.

Miya then pondered deeply.

"This is not something that can be understood by people like us who live at the bottom of the universe," she said.

Oliver naturally agreed with that.

Miya continued, "let's just go with the flow, and you do as they ask to get another skill."

"Aunt, I hope they also give you skills," Oliver said.

However, Miya immediately shook her head when she heard that.

"No need, it's enough with you. If you bring extra people, I'm afraid they won't be happy with you. After all, you were the only one destined for it from the beginning. If I was also destined, I should have naturally joined the group," she said.

She rejected Oliver's idea so the latter fell silent.

It wasn't that he didn't understand that, it was just that he wished she could get those skills too.

Otherwise, she would be completely skillless in the civilization test.

Seeing his expression, the woman laughed and said, "there's no need to think too much about me. I'm just a woman who has lived nearly two-thirds of the average human's life. I feel satisfied if my closest person can develop well in the civilization test later. If you can become stronger than the others, I don't think there will be any harm done to me. I'll just relax here."
