The Absolute beast Tamer

Chapter 22 Trouble From HQ (1)

Alan entered Clara's office at the top floor of the Blue River Chamber of Commerce building.

The moment he entered, he was surprised to find, other than Clara and Laura, who was there, elder Yan sitting on the couch, everyone appeared tense, and the atmosphere was serious in the room.

Clara: "It is good to see your fine little brother. Come and have a seat."

Elder Yan: "Hoho, it has been a while, young man. I hope you have been well."

Alan: "Thank you both for your concern. I have never been better, so, big sis, could you tell me what happened?"

Laura: "An unreasonable prick that is trying to run away from taking responsibility is all that happened."

Elder Yan: "Relax, little Laura; getting angry won't solve anything, so you are calling my granddaughter big sis, huh? Then you have to call me Grandpa from now on.

With a smile on his face, Elder Yan added a little bit of humor to ease the tense nerves in the room.

Alan smiled back and responded:

Alan: "Then allow me to call your grandpa Yan from now on."

Elder Yan: "Good, good. To think my cold granddaughter, who did not give the light of the day to the young masters in the capital, has grown so close to this fine young man—can this old man consider this a happy occasion?"

Carla: "Grandpa!!!!"

Elder Yan: "Hahahahahaha."

With slightly red cheeks Carla said

Carla: "Getting back on the subject, this time a noble clan has approached the HQ of the Blue River Chamber of Commerce in the capital, making a request, which in turn someone high up in the chain accepted without verifying the details, unable to deliver on the promise and not wanting to take responsibility." He came up with a diverging sending the request to our small branch, and on top of that, along with the request, the princess of the noble plan is coming personally to verify and witness the request's completion.

Alan: "Can the headquarters just admit that they could not deliver on the promise?"

Carla: "I'm afraid they can't, as the person who was in charge of this had already signed a penality agreement, which entails a huge loss for our Chamber of Commerce, so refusal is out of the table. That's why, using the reputation of Grandpa as an excuse, they sent the impossible request to this small branch."

Elder Yan: "I'm afraid it's not as simple as that."

Laura: "What do you mean, Grandpa?"

Elder Yan: "Lately I have made a breakthrough, reaching the 9th stage. There was a talk in HQ about giving me a more central, important position, and then this trouble came out of nowhere."

Carla: "Grandpa, you mean that this whole thing is a political move to stop you from getting that position."

Elder Yan: "Indeed, I think so; someone in HQ does not want me to get this position in the capital by using my reputation and diverting this unreasonable request to ensure failure, destroying my reputation in the process, and raising the question if I am qualified for the position in the capital."

Laura: "Such a black heart; those scheming profiteers really know how to play politics."

Inside the meeting room waiting for everyone was Elder Yan.

The moment Ms. Johnson saw Elder Yan, she greeted him immediately; that serves to say how noble the status of an evolution master is.

Miss Johnson: "Greetings, Elder Yan, Your reputation is truly magnificent; it's an honor to meet your esteemed self today. My hopes are very high with you here; my goal of evolving my partner is definitely a reality.

Elder Yan: "Greetings to you too, young lady. You have come from far away. Please have a seat. We prepare a few refreshments for you. Let's discuss your request after."

Inside the room there were only Alan, Carla, Laura, and Elder Yan.

Mrs. Johnson: "I have already stated my request for the headquarters of the Blue River Chamber of Commerce. I will be taking my partner out for you to inspect first."

Name: [Lyra]

Species: [deer type beast]

Stage: [3rd stage beast] [100%]

Potential: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Talent: [healing aura, emotional empath, wind manipulation initial]

Description: [A deer-type beast with healing abilities, it has a very good potential, with extreme speed and the ability to manipulate winds. Its mobility is one of its strongest points, with weak attacking ability, extremely gentle in nature.]

Evolution paths: [4]

It was a rare healing beast with a very good potential. Watching Elder Yan examining Lyra, information regarding this healing beast was displayed in front of Alan.

Elder Yan: "Ms. Johnson, you have a very good partner here. Gentle nature adapted at healing this little one is a treasure. Let's talk about the evolution, shall we?"

Miss Johnson: "When I was adventuring in the wild, I happened to see a winged antler deer beast. After searching for a while, there was a hypothesis that this is one of the directions my partner Lyra can evolve into. Although it was nothing but a hypothesis, I still want her to evolve into this form."

Elder Yan: "And that's why you are holding her advancement to the fourth stage."

Miss Johnson: "Elder, your reputation is indeed well deserved. Is it true that I want her to evolve before advancing to the fourth stage?"

Elder Yan: "I will be honest with you; I do not know, and I can't say that I am 100% sure to evolve your partner into the desired direction, especially after the HQ could not handle this request. I know of the penalty contract, but that's HQ's problem. In any way, seeing this precious beast, I can promise you that I will do everything in my power to help in its evolution, but I can't guarantee anything. I hope you understand."

Miss Johnson: "I have fully understood that before coming here, Elder, as the third-class evolution master at your headquarters, also could not do anything for my partner, but for the good reputation that has reached my ears, I know I can only do everything I can and hope for the best."

Elder Yan: "Thank you for being so understanding. If you don't mind, the process may take some time. Meanwhile, we have prepared accommodation for yourself; we hope to give you the most pleasant stay here."

Ms. Johnson: "Thank you for your consideration, but I would like to stay until the process is done if that is not a problem, of course."

Elder Yan: "Not at all, Ms. Johnson."
