9 AM, Bilo City, City Hall Building.

"Knock, knock..."

"Come in." The sound of knocking came from outside the Mayor's office. Illumi, in Hyram's form, spoke.

"Mayor." A man in a suit and glasses pushed the door open. He was Hyram's Mayor's secretary.

"Take this document to the Land Management Bureau."

"Yes." The man took the document. As he left, he deliberately glanced at the person in the black trench coat, whose feet were resting on the Mayor's desk.

"Let's go." Illumi stood up. Greed took his feet off the desk and followed him out of the room.

Thirty minutes later, Illumi and Greed arrived at the construction site, which had already been cordoned off by the Bureau of Cultural Relics. Yellow tape was strung everywhere, preventing people from passing through.

"Boss." Illumi and Greed opened the car door and got out. Hammer immediately came forward, greeting them respectfully.

"Who are those people?" Illumi looked at several people by the tent who were conversing with Javier, Fanny, and others.

"Those are people from the Bureau of Cultural Relics. Mr. Javier is discussing the ruins with them," Hammer replied, cautiously glancing at Greed, noticing that this was also a person with a powerful aura.

Another person I can't afford to provoke has appeared, he thought, wiping away imaginary sweat.

Illumi stepped over the tape. A police officer saw them and came over, trying to stop the two. Hammer immediately stepped forward to stop the police officer and explained to him.

"These are people from our company..."

Ignoring the police, Illumi and Greed approached King Bradley and asked, "How's the situation?"

King Bradley glanced at Greed and said in a low voice, "The Bureau of Cultural Relics has sent people down to investigate. Our people have all been called up."

"I've already communicated with their leader, but we can only go in after the team below comes out." Illumi nodded slightly. His Hunter identity made things easy; the people from the Bureau of Cultural Relics simply asked a few questions and then agreed.

The credit for discovering this ancient ruin would mainly go to King Bradley, accumulating prestige and contributions for him. The discovery of this ancient ruin could be considered an earthquake for the entire history of human civilization. Judging from Javier's excited expression and actions, this place would probably become a temporary hot spot in the archaeological world.

"Let's leave here first and find a quiet place." Illumi turned and walked out of the construction site. King Bradley and Greed walked side by side behind him.

"Yo, you're quite obedient." Greed looked arrogant, mocking King Bradley. But Bradley merely glanced at him and didn't respond.

Greed scoffed with a disdainful "Tch," put his hands in his pockets, and quickened his pace. The three got into the car.

"I've already resolved the land issue. You'll receive notification soon." Illumi said to Bradley, then took out the black and red wooden box from his backpack and handed it to Bradley. "Keep it safe. When the company is established, we'll need to build a special facility to store it."

"No one is allowed to touch it, including our own people." King Bradley took the black and red wooden box, nodding solemnly, and said to Illumi. "I've already had the person in the stone coffin brought up. He's currently in one of our cars."

After seeing the murals, King Bradley deeply realized how dangerous that black and red box and the person in the stone coffin were. He didn't believe the people from the Bureau of Cultural Relics had the ability to protect it well.

"Tch, so troublesome. Why not just establish a special organization to collect those things?" Greed sat alone in the back seat, his legs resting on the window, his hands clasped behind his head, and grinned. "I don't see either of you having much time. Why don't I help you?"

Illumi and King Bradley both turned to look at him. Greed's lips curled disdainfully as he closed his eyes and chuckled. "Don't worry, I'm not interested in those things. I just purely want to help."

Illumi was silent for a moment, then his lips curved into a smile and he chuckled. "In that case, you can temporarily stay with Bradley."

"When he establishes the company headquarters, I'll appoint you as the head of the Security Department, managing this box and that 'person'."

"If any other secret treasures are discovered in the future, they will also be entrusted to your safekeeping." Greed opened his eyes, looked at Illumi with arrogance, and grinned.

"No problem."

That evening, back at the hotel.

Illumi and King Bradley discussed company matters again. "The company's land issue is resolved, so next is another matter." Besides owning a multinational corporation, they also needed a covert force to arrange other things.

"You have candidates, right?" Illumi asked again. King Bradley was well-prepared, having compiled his chosen candidates' information into a PPT for Illumi to review.

Special Talent Selection Program. This "talent" was not talent in the normal sense, but people with special qualities. King Bradley had prepared a special set of test questions and distributed them to various advanced forums. This was King Bradley preparing for his future plans, with a scope that included all Internet-connected countries worldwide.

As long as one had a computer or was online, based on their browsing history, this special test would be sent to the email addresses of certain specific individuals for testing. After the initial screening by King Bradley's team, the estimated coverage would reach millions. This might seem like a lot, but compared to the billions of people worldwide, it was very few. This test had passed the scrutiny of King Bradley's team and should be able to select the necessary talent from the exposed population.

Of course, normal research talent could not be selected this way. Instead, more specific data was needed for selection. This talent selection plan included geniuses from various fields and some lesser-known individuals. And these people were the most arrogant. If it were just a normal invitation, they would definitely not agree.

However, the more talented and arrogant a person was, the more likely they were to do things that ordinary people could not tolerate. These people were geniuses, but also ordinary people.

Through King Bradley's diligent investigation, he had grasped the characteristics and weaknesses of these people, and was very confident that he could win them over. But this was just the beginning. Later, Illumi would have Envy provide them with talented children from Meteor City for unified education and training (brainwashing).

"Good, proceed as you planned." Illumi finished reading the forty to fifty-page document and nodded. This forty to fifty-page document included detailed uses for the funds provided by Illumi, as well as progress reports on the plan's completion. A quick glance revealed everything clearly.
