Chapter 437: Permit acquired
Michael looked at the red coin in his hands. It had the symbol of the Association stamped on it, which was a weighing scale in the middle with laurels surrounding both sides.
He could tell that this wasn’t made out of anything special. It didn’t even have any special security measures to prevent any kind of forgery.
This was because the permit coin was merely a formality. Michael and the Reborn company was now in the logbooks of history inside the Association walls. That was enough to certify his permit. Anyone that tried to fake the coin would not be able to fake the paperwork created by the Association.
Now, Michael could establish his company inside Metropolis. He didn’t even have to present his coin, as the Association themselves would verify this fact for him.
"Neat, thanks Claudia," he said as he started walking away.
"Wait, wait, wait! That’s it? No celebrations, no nothing?"
Claudia was exasperated at Michael’s nonchalant reaction at getting his permit. It didn’t even look like he just broke the record for the fastest permit in the history of Metropolis! She would have expected more fanfare from him, but instead, he treated it as a nice little achievement that didn’t mean anything.
"It’s nice, but it’s just the start of my journey here. It’s just a step in the right direction. And now that I’ve overcome this step, the next thing I need to do is go over the next one."
She didn’t expect Michael to be so levelheaded despite such an achievement. Most people she knew would brag about this and let it go over their heads, but it seemed Michael was too smart for that.
But still, she would have wanted to see at least a little bit of a celebration from Michael.
"Haa....fine. What are you planning on doing next?" she asked, sighing.
