System's POV

Chapter 38: The Perfect House Husband [Part 2]

Two more days passed since Gerald regained consciousness.

On the fifth day, Michael personally visited Thirteen's home, with the intention of inviting Lady Callista back to the residence.

The two privately talked for a while, and in the end, the old lady reluctantly agreed to return home with Michael in exchange for leaving six Grandmasters to continue watching over her son's house, protecting them from the shadows.

Thirteen was very happy with this conclusion and even wanted to kiss his Uncle for coming at the right time.

With so many people inside their house, there were certain things that he couldn't do.

As for the bodyguards outside the house?

He didn't mind them one bit.

Even if they were there, he was confident that none of them would be able to catch wind of what he was cooking up, which was a good thing.

A day ago, Hans had given all of the ingredients that he gathered to Thirteen, and the boy concocted the potion using a portable stove and a pot that Hans also provided for him.

Of course, he did it inside his bedroom and only handed Hans the finished potion an hour before he returned to the Leventis Family with his grandma.

Thirteen told Hans that he should let Lady Callista drink the potion only when it was just the two of them.

The boy didn't trust Trisha enough to let her become part of his Inner Circle. Only when he was certain of her loyalty and allegiance would he consider adding her to the team and ask her to help him do the things that he was unable to do because of the restrictions on his body.

As soon as Thirteen handed the potion to Hans, he immediately told the Butler that he planned to use one of the three favors that the butler promised to him.

But before telling Hans what he wanted from him, Thirteen first asked how much money Hans had in his bank account.

The Butler didn't bat an eye and told Thirteen the exact amount of his savings.

"I want half of your savings," Thirteen stated. "Make sure to create an anonymous account, and send the money there. After that, pass the username and password to me. I will handle the rest."

It was unknown whether Hans was surprised or bitter about Thirteen's first favor since he didn't have a change of expression and simply nodded in agreement.

Remembering that scene, Thirteen sighed and wished that Hans was part of their family. That way, he would be able to arm the Butler to the teeth with his Rune Equipment.

'The next time I see Laplace Demon and The One, I will definitely ask them to add Hans as one of my beneficiaries.'

When his grandma and her entourage had finally left, Thirteen immediately went to talk to his father and mother about his plans.

He already convinced his father a day ago to ask Lady Callista for a loan of ten million gold coins.

Getting half of Hans' savings netted him fifty million additional gold coins, giving their family a hefty sum.

But Thirteen didn't plan to use this money to simply support his family.

No.

He planned to burn all of this money to make more money!

"Pops, are you ready to become the perfect House Husband?" Thirteen asked as he used a marker to scribble several runes on Gerald's body.

"What choice do I have?" Gerald replied bitterly. "Are you sure this plan of yours is going to work, Zion?"

"Of course." Thirteen nodded. "Do you still doubt me after learning Heaven's Blade? You should know that your son is not only a genius but a supreme genius!"

Gerald looked at the five-year-old who was calling himself a supreme genius and wondered where his confidence was coming from.

Even so, he had to admit that if Thirteen's plan were to really work, not only would he be able to provide for his family, but it would also open several options for his advancement.

Right now, Thirteen was planning to impart another Divine Technique to his father, and it was called "Hammer For All Seasons".

Although the name sounded funny, it was actually one of the strongest Blacksmithing Divine Arts recorded inside his core.

A week later, he would impart another Divine Technique to his father called "Good As Gold".

This was a crafting technique that specialized in making accessories and jewelry.

In a few years, he also planned to teach his mother the Divine Technique called "The Ten Thousand Concoctions".

This was a Divine Rank Alchemy Technique that would allow Alessia to become an Alchemist.

The only reason why he couldn't make her an Alchemist right now was due to the fact that Thirteen didn't have enough resources to let his father and mother burn through countless materials and ingredients to perfect their craft.

Sixty million gold might seem like a large sum to others, but in the face of the Five Monarch Clans and the Ten Prestigious Families, such an amount was mere pocket money for them.

Although Thirteen had imparted the skills to his parents, it would still depend on their comprehension abilities whether they would be able to succeed or not.

Body compatibility, as well as a few other factors, would make his parents comprehend the skills faster.

Knowing the Divine Technique and actually using it were two different matters.

Just because you watched a cooking video on YuuTube didn't mean that you would become a Michelin Star Chef with the snap of a finger.

Thirteen was already prepared for the reality that his father would burn through several precious metals while learning his craft, but this was a necessary investment for the future.

Once Gerald had reached a level where Thirteen deemed him to be ready, they would then start to craft Mythical-Grade Equipment that he planned to sell to his Grandpa, allowing them to recover their losses and gain a profit in return.

As Thirteen's chant spread inside the room, the Jinn Cores and Majin Cores that he had placed around his father all imploded into particles of light, seeping inside his body.

The five-year-old was adamant about turning his father's tragedy into an opportunity, which would shake the Leventis Household, the Monarch Clans, and the other Prestigious Families to the core a few years from now.
