The Absolute beast Tamer-Chapter 52: ALLISON FORD
Alan: "The venue is very huge; I didn’t think that it would still be this much of a big deal."
Carla: "Of course it’s a big deal. It is a medium-sized auction that is happening in a very small town, and many parties with a huge influence sent representatives."
Lana: "The security is no joke; there’s a security guard at every point on every exit."
Laura: "The auction is not just an auction; it’s practically an economic shift for the small town. That’s why we had the collaboration of the mayor’s estate.
The four of them were standing in front of the newly built stage that will house the auction tomorrow. The magnitude of this auction clearly was out of Alan’s expectation.
Just then Carla’s terminal started buzzing.
Carla: "Yes... okay, if it’s alright with you, we can meet. You are at the venue, okay? Then would you mind meeting At the backstage office…Okay, we will see you in 10 minutes.
Laura: "Is there trouble?"
Carla: "No, not at all. One of the parties that is participating in the auction wants to meet…"
Lana: "But that means trouble, as we already can tell their intention."
Alan: "We can’t just blow them off, right? So let’s go and meet them and see what they want."
Carla: "You’re right; let’s go."
....
The four of them went to the office space in the back of the venue.
To their surprise, when they entered the office, they found an Elder and a couple with their daughter waiting there for them.
Carla: "Sorry to keep you waiting. I am acting president of the Blue River Chamber of Commerce, Carla Fairfax."
Inside the room, the elder who look to be in his 50s and a young couple with their daughter that looked around 6 years old were waiting for them.
Gerald: "We haven’t waited for long; please have a seat. It’s a pleasure meeting the president who made such an event possible. My name is Gerald Ford, and the two young couples are my son and his wife."
Alex: "My name is Alex Ford. It’s a pleasure meeting you."
Liza: "Liza Ford, it is nice meeting you."
Carla: "This is the head manager of our Chamber of Commerce, Laura; behind her is Alan, who is our expert appraiser, with his friend Lana."
Exchanging pleasantries and greeting each other, everyone sat down on the couches.
Gerald: "I’m sorry to call you out of the blue. Regarding the reason for asking to meet you, we have an unreasonable request we hope that you can accommodate."
Carla: "Please do tell."
Gerald: "Inside the list of treasures that will be auctioned this time, there is an 8th class treasure with the healing and regenerative properties. We would like to buy it off the list before it goes to auction.
Laura: "Why not wait until tomorrow and bid for it? What is the urgency for?
Gerald: "I know that it is an unreasonable request, but we have an immediate need for this resource, and we’d like to get our hands on it as fast as possible, but I owe you an explanation."
Gerald looked at the pale little girl that was sitting in her mother’s embrace.
Gerald: "This little girl is my granddaughter; her name is Allison Ford. From the moment she was born, she had a birth defect in her body that made her weak and sick all the time. We have gone above and beyond to find medical help for her.
Sadly, none of the reputable doctors or huge hospitals managed to find the reason for this defect or why she is so weak. The poor little thing experiences an episode every once in a while where she is in pain as if she were being tortured.
As her grandfather, how can I see my cute grandchild be tortured and feel hopeless not being able to do anything?
The only thing that kind of relieves the symptoms is treasures that have regenerative and healing properties that are infused in a very pure Ena.
But as you know, she’s a child, so we have to be careful about the amount of Ena that her weak body can handle.
That was when we found there is an 8th class treasure with very gentle properties that can keep her away from suffering for a longer period of time.
So we are here to ask you to please allow us to buy this treasure, as I don’t want to see my granddaughter suffering for even another minute."

The room fell into silence as the expression on the faces of the four of them changed as they looked at the cute little girl that was thin and pale with her eyes only half open.
Carla gave Alan a look, to which Alan nodded his head.
Carla: "Mr. Ford, we are very sorry to see that your grandchild had to go through the suffering, and it is our pleasure to be able to provide something that can help. I will make a call and have them bring the treasure here immediately."
Liza’s eyes were full of tears as she gasped for breath.
Liza: "Thank you, thank you. I can’t see my child suffering anymore; I really can’t."
Tears were flooding from her eyes, trailing down her cheeks as she truly felt gratitude for Carla and the others.
Her husband Alex had a dark face that showed his frustration and helplessness in this situation.
Gerald: "Thank you, President Carla. We will never forget this favor. If you find yourself in need of an alchemist’s help, then this old man will be at your beck and call."
Alan could not help himself as he looked at the little girl who was completely still. Not even a voice can be heard; remembering Lily and how active she was, his chest tightened as if it was him. He did not know if you could see Lily in the same spot as this girl.
He could not help but activate his talent as he wanted to see the true condition of this girl.
Name: [Allison Ford]
Class: [None]
Stage: [0]
Talent: [Vital spirit][partially awakened]
Condition: [extremely weak vitality and life essence, under the effect of parvovirus parasitosis, a specialized parasite introduced to the host through pregnancy from liquid intake. The pregnant host is not affected as it will travel and enter the fetus system, completely destroying the pregnancy. In the case of the individual Alison Ford, as she had the talent vital spirit, which was partially awakened because of the intervention of the parasite, a state of weak balance has been born between the parasite draining the vitality and the talent trying to compensate for it.].
[Parvovirus parasitosis is a deadly parasite. That is the ultimate form of poison to kill the unborn.]
[The conditions and requirements for the removal of the parasite and healing the vitality of the affected subjects]:
[Sunpetal Dew]: [Collected from the petals of a rare, sun-worshipping flower that blooms only at dawn. The dew is said to contain concentrated solar energy that disrupts the parasite’s life cycle.
[Glimmering Moonstone Dust]: [Ground from moonstones that have been bathed in moonlight during a specific lunar phase. This dust vibrates at a frequency that is incompatible with the parasite’s own energy.
[Whispering Willow Bark]: [Harvested from a willow tree that grows near a sacred spring. The bark is imbued with the tree’s gentle, healing energy and contains natural soothing properties that calm the child’s system while the parasite is being removed.
[Joyful Lark’s Song]: [Not literally the song, but a potion made from herbs that have been grown while being serenaded by the joyful song of a lark. The lark’s song is said to have a positive vibration that strengthens the child’s own life force, making them less susceptible to parasitic influence. The potion is a vibrant color and has a sweet, floral scent.
[Scale of the Sky Serpent (Shed)]: A single, naturally shed scale from a benevolent Sky Serpent, known for its pure and cleansing aura. The scale, when dissolved in the other ingredients, acts as a catalyst, binding them together and amplifying their effects.
[The steps for preparing the cure]
[First you need...]
Alan was shocked at how horrifying the Eye of Ra can be, as it practically provided every single piece of information about the subject’s condition and how to cure such a parasite.
As he was looking at the little girl, the tightness in his chest finally was relieved, as he decided to take the risk to help cure this little girl.
Alan: "Excuse me, Mr. Gerald, I want to ask you something. What if I told you that Allison’s illness can be cured?"
Coming out of nowhere, which shocked everyone that was gathered inside the room, as they looked at this young man completely baffled.
You have to know that Allison’s case was presented to the most prestigious hospitals in the federation, and many famous doctors were consulted.
Even Gerald himself, as a high alchemist with every part of knowledge he had and every bit of connection he used, could not find anything remotely close to a cure.
Gerald looked at this young man, who had not spoken at all from the beginning until now. He was practically saying the impossible.
Gerald: "May I know who you are?"
Gerald’s tone of voice lowered as a slight anger can be sensed, yet he did not show it when he talked.
Alan: "My name is Alan Ortex. As president, Carla said I am an appraiser who is working in her Chamber of Commerce. I know what I told you earlier seems impossible, especially coming from a kid like me, but I have a little sister who is at the same age as Allison, and I couldn’t see her in pain anymore, so I will leave the decision for you to decide whether to trust my proposition or not."
Liza: "Do you really know how to cure her?"
Alex: "Liza, stop. We can’t raise our hopes every time and see them crumble. Many people tried, and many people came to us to take advantage of our need, but none of them had a good end."
A slight pressure was released from Alex’s body as he looked at Alan with rage in his eyes.
