Litt, who was standing by, was shocked to see something suddenly appear in Orson's hand.
"This is a return gift from my father to you." Orson said this, placing the exquisite and gorgeous box on the table, and then pushed it in front of Chelinina.
"My father plans to give full responsibility for the expansion of Antica's new city to the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce."
Chapter 15: Is this a warning?
Back to noon, after lunch, Orson was called into the study by Lucius.
When Orson came to the study, not only was Lucius there, but Mary was sitting next to him.
"Father, Mother, do you have something to talk to me about?" Orson bowed respectfully and then asked.
"Yeah." Lucius nodded, and then waved to Orson. "Orson, come here."
"Okay." Orson nodded and walked to the desk.
Lucius took a piece of paper from Mary and handed it to Orson.
Orson looked at the contents of the paper and his eyes widened.
"Father, this is..."
"It's a gift from the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce to celebrate Lit's return." Lucius smiled.
"It's just a gift sent in the name of Chelinina's agent." Mary added. "Orson, what do you think about this?"
Is this a test for the parents?
At the same time, seeing the familiar name above, Orson began to recall information about Chelinina.
Orson thought for a moment, then said:
"My dear father and mother, in my opinion, this is a good thing." Orson raised his head and looked at the two of them and said.
"This means that we can cooperate with the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce, the largest in the empire."
"But didn't we cooperate with the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce recently? They set up a chamber of commerce in our territory and engaged in business and trade. Aren't these all cooperation?"
"Is there a possibility," Orson said, "that they are seeking deeper cooperation?"
Lucius looked at Orson, puzzled.
Mary's eyes were deep.
……
“As we all know, Antica has been built for hundreds of years. Over the centuries, the city has continued to develop.
The city has expanded, but the urban area has never expanded. "Orson took out the map of Antica and said.
“So the old city is already very crowded, and all the land originally planned for use has been occupied. If we want to continue to develop, we must open up a new urban area.”
"I don't need to say much about how much profit the construction of the new urban area can bring to the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce." Orson looked at Chelinina and said with a smile.
Contracting construction projects is always quite profitable in any era.
From design to materials and finally to labor.
There is considerable profit in every link.
At the same time, the construction of the new urban area represents the future economic prospects of the city of Antica.
It can be said that the Duke outsourced this project because he was quite optimistic about the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce.
"But, Master Orson." Chelinina looked at Orson and said puzzledly.
"Generally speaking, such large projects would be notified in advance before construction and investment promotion. Why didn't I hear anything about it before?"
"I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, Miss Cherylina." Orson smiled, "I proposed this project to my father."
"Father has been struggling with how to return the gift, so I made this proposal."
Having said this, Orson put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Chelinina.
"Although I don't know why Miss Chelinina is so eager to cooperate with our family, we do have common interests."
"Therefore, I am giving this to you, Miss Chelinina, as a token of my family's sincerity. I hope you can understand that cooperating with us is indeed a wise investment."
Chelinina looked at Orson. At this moment, she felt that she had been completely seen through in front of Orson, and no action could conceal her inner thoughts.
"Mr. Orson is right." She forced a smile. "Since the Stranik family values me so much, I will definitely not let you down. The construction of the new city area of Antica City has started, and the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce has taken it over."
"Thank you very much." Orson smiled. "I look forward to your good news for us."
After saying that, he stood up and walked out the door with Lit.
When they reached the door, Orson asked Litt to go out first, and then turned around to look at Chelinina.
"Mr. Orson, is there anything else?"
"Ms. Chelinina, what do you think of Lit? As an heir."
Chelinina widened her eyes and looked at Orson in disbelief.
How did he know what was in my heart!
"Of course it's very good, but it's still far behind you, Master Orson." She said, suppressing her inner tension.
"Is that so? I hope you will change your mind about him later." Having said this, Orson walked out of the room.
As the door closed, Chelinina breathed a sigh of relief.
Did Orson bring Litt along with him this time to give him a warning?
Let yourself see with your own eyes the gap between him and Leeteuk, and let yourself understand that Leeteuk is completely not worth investing in.
Especially at the end, the question Orson asked was obviously a warning!
Damn, how did he know that?
"Tsk." Chelinina bit her fingers, her mind in a mess.
However, if this incident is regarded as a warning, then isn't the gift Orson gave him a little too generous?
Could it be that Orson was saying that even if he was just the icing on the cake, he could still help him break free from the shackles of his family?
Chelinina, who was always known for her calmness and clarity, was now in a state of confusion.
……
On the other side, Orson and Litt walked out of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce.
"Leet, how about it, tell me how you feel?"
"Well...was Orson negotiating with Miss Chelinina just now?" asked Litt.
"Not all of them." Orson smiled. "There are some other things. Anyway, have you learned how to deal with others?"
"Yeah." Li Te nodded. "When chatting with others, keep smiling and be polite when speaking..."
"Yes, that's it." Orson nodded, and then patted Litt's shoulder unconsciously.
Then the two got on the carriage.
"Go to the Adventurer's Guild." Orson said to the driver before getting on the car.
"What is the Adventurer's Association?" Sitting in the carriage, Lit looked at Orson and asked with some confusion.
Going home?
"I'm going to the Adventurer's Association to update my personal information, and I'll take you there while I'm there." Orson looked at Lit and said, "You'll go there often in the future."
The Adventurer's Guild is an organization spread across the continent. They accept commissions from local lords or residents, and distribute the commissions to adventurers, who then complete the commissions.
When there are too many commissions in a region to be completed by local adventurers, the Adventurer's Guild in other surrounding regions will post commissions for that region and recruit adventurers to complete them.
The Adventurer's Guild serves a role similar to that of an intermediary.
In addition, the Adventurer's Association's strength rating is widely recognized on the mainland.
In the Adventurer's Guild's level classification, there are a total of ten levels for warriors and magicians.
The last time Orson came to the Adventurer's Association, he was only twelve years old. At that time, he had already been evaluated as a fourth-level warrior and a fourth-level magician. This news caused a sensation across the country.
Having achieved the fourth-level strength at such a young age, it is no exaggeration to say that Orson is the first person in the history of the empire.
Chapter 16: Indigo and Gray
The carriage stopped in front of the Adventurer's Association branch in Antica City. Orson took Litt off the carriage and then walked into the association.
It has to be said that the emblem of the Stranik family is like a gold medal in the city of Antica. When entering or leaving various places, as long as you have this emblem, you will receive the greatest courtesy.
"Welcome, Mr. Orson." Sure enough, the moment he saw the guard at the door turn around and run into the association, Orson knew that someone would come out to greet him.
"Hello, Mr. Marvin." The person who came to greet Orson was Marvin, the head of the Antica City branch of the Adventurer's Association.
Six years ago, it was here that Marvin saw a moment that would go down in history.
Orson, who was only twelve years old at the time, was rated as a fourth-level warrior and a fourth-level magician by the Adventurer's Association, which was confirmed after repeated tests.
Although there were many adventurers with fourth-level strength on the association's registered list, Orson was only twelve years old at the time!
At the age of twelve, he had already achieved what most people would never achieve in their lifetime.
"Mr. Orson, why are you here this time?"
"Ah, I remember I haven't come to the Adventurer's Association to test my combat power for six years. I came here to update my personal information today." Orson said this and pointed to Litt beside him.
"By the way, bring Li Te here to have a look."
"Oh! This must be Mr. Litt! I've heard a lot about you." Marvin said this, greeted Litt, and then led the two of them towards the testing room.
"Mr. Orson, do you have a rough estimate of your current strength?"
"Mr. Marvin, what do you think? My current strength."
"After all, six years have passed since the last time. Plus, you are so talented, Mr. Orson, you must have reached the sixth level." Marvin said with a smile.
Then, the three of them entered a room. In the center of the room was an obsidian storage table, and in the center of the table was a crystal ball.
All you have to do is reach out to the crystal ball to get the results of the test.
The brightness of the crystal ball will change from grayish white to dark purple. The darker the color, the higher the level of strength.
Gray is without gradation, and the red that follows, from light red, red and dark red, corresponds to 1st to 3rd gradation respectively, followed by 4th gradation orange, 5th gradation yellow, 6th gradation sky blue, 7th gradation indigo, 8th gradation light green, 9th gradation dark green and 10th gradation dark purple.
Marvin stood beside the obsidian table, and Orson walked forward and gently placed his hand over the crystal ball.
Suddenly, the room was filled with colorful lights.
Then, the color of the light in the crystal ball gradually stabilized and stopped at indigo.
Marvin stood aside, his eyes widened in disbelief.
Orson watched the color stabilize for five seconds before removing his hand.
Then the room returned to its original state.
"Mr. Orson, you..." Marvin's lips trembled as he looked at the stable indigo color.
"This is the first time I've seen an eighteen-year-old seventh-level expert."
"It's nothing." Orson smiled. "There are always talented people in every generation. There will be people who are more capable than me in the future."
As he said this, he looked in the direction of Lit, hinting at something.
“No, no, no, Master Orson, your talent is unprecedented, and it’s hard to say whether it will be surpassed in the future, but if your information is spread today, it will definitely cause a sensation throughout the empire!”
"Then please keep it a secret for me, Mr. Marvin." Orson saw Marvin
"I don't want anyone else to know this news. Can you help me?"
After saying that, he took out another gem from the storage ring and handed it to Marvin.
"Of course, no one will know about this until Master Orson takes the initiative to release the news." Marvin took the gem and naturally knew its value. He nodded and said.
Then he looked at Litt.
Orson noticed Marvin's gaze and said with a smile, "It's okay. It doesn't matter if Lit knows about it."
Seeing Orson said so, Marvin didn't say anything else, but just asked casually: "Mr. Li Te, do you want to take a test? Maybe Mr. Li Te is unexpectedly talented."
