Wednesday: The Strongest Psychic

Chapter 57: Vacation I



Several days had passed since Luke left Jericho. He had already settled into the Umbrio mansion. Rather, in one of the mansions belonging to this wealthy family of outcasts.

The Umbrio family had important business dealings in both normie and outcast society. So, their wealth was at the top of the outcast families, although their history was not old.

Luke stayed in the largest mansion of all, as it was that of his grandfather, Stalin Umbrio. The current leader of the Umbrio family.

From what Veronica told him, Stalin is over a hundred years old. He is an elderly psychic, and he already has fifty years left to live. So, the old man was already passing a lot of responsibilities to Veronica's father. The next leader.

Besides him in the mansion stayed Natasha, but she had left yesterday. Leaving Luke with his grandparents, many servants, and Veronica.

Yes, her grandmother was still alive and kicking. Sophie's mother. Her name was Elizabeth Umbrio. She had an icy, apathetic look on her face when she met Luke. She barely said a word. She seemed to be against him being there.

Luke wasn't disappointed. He didn't expect anything from his family on his mother's side. He was only there at Natasha's request. If the Spellmans dare to attack him at Nevermore, they will likely dare to attack him when he is in Jericho.

On the other hand, if he finds himself in the mansion of the leader of a major outcast family, the Spellmans will think twice before attacking. True, they may complain to the Umbrio for getting into personal grudges, but Stalin said he would comply with Natasha's request.

The most sensible thing for the Spellmans to do would be to wait until Luke returns to Nevermore and plan another assassination. After all, they won't want to start a war against the Umbrio either.

Luke opened his eyes. He saw on the clock on the bedside table that it was nine o'clock in the morning. He got up lazily and looked at his room.

'It's not so bad living in a mansion,' Luke thought. His room was almost the size of an apartment. It also had a bathroom.

After changing and brushing his teeth, he left his room. Today, he had a meeting with his publisher. That was why he was up so early. Carrie has been a resounding success since it was published.

The book was averaging between 100,000 to 120,000 copies sold per month. There were still a few months left in the year, and it was already on the verge of reaching one million copies sold.

For an author publishing his first book, this is something very rare. Even more so when the author is just fifteen years old.

Luke was on the verge of joining the millionaire's club. He had a 12% royalty from Carrie. Payments were made every quarter. That is, every three months. He had recently been given his last payment as he reached month nine.

With Carrie's sales alone, he got 1,026,000 USD. Unfortunately, there are taxes, and they are not low. He had to pay approximately 25% tax. So, he was left with a final amount of 769,500 USD.

He had done some advertising where he got paid and had a little more money, but it wasn't quite a million, but it was only a matter of time.

'Damn stairs,' Luke thought. That was the only bad thing about a mansion. You had to walk too far to get to the damn exit.

"Luke. It's weird you're up so early," said Veronica, running into Luke.

"Yeah..." said Luke, stopping for a second and walking again.

"Hey, wait up!" said Veronica, grabbing Luke by the wrist.

"What?" asked Luke.

"I was just about to go to breakfast with Grandpa and Grandma... I was wondering, Do you want to join us for breakfast?" said Veronica.

"No, thanks. I have plans," Luke replied, releasing his grip on the girl and resuming his walk. These days, Luke didn't eat breakfast, nor did he eat with his grandparents and Veronica. It was uncomfortable, and he knew he was not welcomed by his grandmother, Elizabeth. In addition, at some dinners, there are Veronica's parents, who are also not very happy with his stay at the Umbrio mansion.

His grandfather is Stalin, and although he treats him kindly, their relationship is not great. Luke doesn't blame him. They are both strangers, and he doesn't even want to get along with the old man, so it's normal for them to be estranged.

Even the servants looked at him with cold expressions. This doesn't affect Luke, but he won't waste his time eating in a silent environment. He prefers to eat while watching a series or playing video games.

As for his cousin Veronica, Luke kept his distance. He wasn't in the mood to make friends when he broke up with Enid.

Luke wondered why Veronica was at Stalin and Elizabeth's mansion instead of with her parents. At first, he thought it was because of his presence (him and his narcissism), but then The realized it was not this.

Veronica was here because she was being instructed by Stalin and Elizabeth. Stalin had a blue aura. Elizabeth has a green aura. As Veronica possessed both auras, she was trained by both elders.

The girl's position was very high in the Umbrio family, all thanks to possessing two auras. Luke could see his grandmother's icy expression change for the first time, this happened when she was talking to Veronica.

He could see how rare and important it was to have two auras. The Umbrio family had a lot of faith in Veronica. They were grooming her to be the next family leader.

Luke's ego grew as he realized this situation was as weird as it sounds. He possessed three auras. What face would his arrogant relatives make if they found out about this? The Umbrio family, in its entire history, did not have a member possessing three auras.

On the other hand, Veronica knew that Luke possessed two auras, but she hadn't told any family members. Something Luke was grateful for, or else he would have had to threaten to upload the video...

Luke left the mansion and called for a cab to take him to his destination. The Umbrio mansion was located in the state of Florida. In the city of Sarasota.

If he could drive, he would buy a luxury car, but he had to turn sixteen to get a license. "Aren't you afraid they'll attack you?" Edgar asked, coming out of the necklace Luke wore around his neck.

[No. I doubt they will. If they did while I stayed with the Umbrio, they would be stepping on his honor or something, Luke replied as he looked out the car window, facing the ocean.

If the Umbrio protected him for his entire life, the Spellman would not stand still and start a war, but if it's for a few months, they would most likely turn a blind eye.

[And if they attack me, it will make my summer a little more fun] Luke added.

Since he finished with Enid, he has devoted more time to training. Every day, he was getting stronger under Edgar's guidance. A three-aura user is far above average, even for two-aura

users.

The genetics for a psychic to possess three auras are perfect. Which gives Luke incredible talent. This adds to his hard work, and the fact that he is a reincarnated person makes him

have enormous growth.

Every day, he sees progress, and bottlenecks are almost nonexistent. To this, we must add the guidance of a person like Edgar. In his previous life, he was the strongest psychic in the U.S. and trained many members of his family for revenge against the Spellman. Also, his auras make for very good synergy. For example, thanks to his extrasensory clairvoyance ability, he can use his telekinesis on unseen objects.

A beginner/intermediate telekinetic could not move roots that were buried several meters in the ground. Since he is not seeing them, This can be done by an advanced telekinetic. However, Luke has no such limitation thanks to his white aura.

His blue aura enhances his mind in many ways. Photographic memory leads to better comprehension, which makes learning and training easier. Since his comprehension is higher.

Edgar said nothing about Luke's reckless comment. He agreed. He saw firsthand Luke's monstrous talent. He knew the extent of his powers. It would be difficult to say that it is impossible for an outcast his age or slightly older to assassinate him.

Sabrina Spellman, despite being from the elite family and possessing two auras, had no chance of assassinating Luke traditionally. She didn't even make it, being 4vs1 and having a

hostage.

Luke arrived at his destination. He entered a quaint coffee shop overlooking the beach and ocean. A middle-aged man in a Hawaiian shirt and sunglasses greeted him from a chair. "How have you been, Luke!" the middle-aged man asked. His name was Josh, and he was his publisher. He greeted Luke enthusiastically with a handshake, and then they sat down. "Order whatever you want. My treat," Josh said with a big smile.

"It's not like I'll be short on money, but thanks," Luke said, opening the menu. He would

order a big breakfast.

After ordering, Luke looked at Josh. The first time he saw him, he looked like a typical office guy with dark circles under his eyes who works more than twelve hours a day and hates his life. Now, however, he had a grin from ear to ear. A flashy Hawaiian shirt and rockstar

sunglasses.

"Why so happy?" asked Luke.

"Isn't it obvious? Your second book is finally finished, and I have other great news," replied

Josh with a big smile.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Yes, Luke had already finished his second book. Rather, the plagiarism. While at Nevermore, he wrote it thanks to his photographic memory. It was easy, but this time he respected a little more the steps of a writer working with a publisher.

He kept sending them unfinished manuscripts. He had meetings with Josh about the book and stuff. He knew he didn't have to, but he had to take some action.

His second book would be The Mystery of Salem's Lot. A vampire fiction book. In his past life,

it was one of his favorite Stephen King books, although it didn't reach It, Carrie, or The

Shining in sales.

"Oh, what's the good news?" asked Luke, curious.

"Carrie will be brought to the big screen!" replied Josh excitedly.
