Chapter 6 - Go Home

"But now that I have three Level 3 Monster Cores, their value is 6000 Dollars," he said.

He was somewhat incredulous when he saw three Monster Cores the size of car tires in front of him.

They were real and still in perfect condition.

One Level 3 Monster Core was valued at 2000 Dollars, which was ten times more expensive than a Level 2 Monster Core.

For Top Awakeners, it was too easy to raise money, but for most Spiritless Awakeners, they had never even obtained a Level 3 Monster Core in their entire lives.

Even if they reached Level E, it was still too difficult for them to kill a Level 3 Monster.

Luis thought about how he would sell those Monster Cores.

He couldn't sell them in the shop before.

Only, he was at a loss as to how to carry them in their human form.

He thought and after that transformed into a Death Flame Spider again.

He used the spider's threads, making a large spherical web which could then hold the three Monster Cores.

"Hehehe..." He chuckled after becoming human again.

When they were inside the web, he only needed to pull the web or lift it up slightly.

After that, he finally returned to Velos.

Once on Velos, it was not difficult for him to find another Awakener Shop.

Selling only three Level 3 Monster Cores, this was not considered strange. Awakeners with Spirits did it quite often and he just needed to act as if he too had a Spirit.

He still asked for cash, of course. And 6000 Dollars, the money he got was quite thick.

The previous 540 Dollars seemed meaningless to him after getting 6000 Dollars.

'I think I can go home with peace of mind,' he thought.

He was worried that his father would go berserk, but who wouldn't after seeing 6000 Dollars.

The sky was already getting dark as he walked to his house in an old compound.

The compound was fairly quiet as many people had moved to new homes so many of the houses were empty.

As night fell, the streets became dark.

Luis' house was quite far inside the compound, but compared to the other houses, it was quite large with an area of about 70 square meters and had two floors.

The only car in front of the house was very old, still running but often breaking down on the road.

When Luis saw the house, he found that it was quite quiet with all the lights on.

He didn't know the condition inside the house, but he opened the door casually.

Click!

The door opened, revealing a living room that had an old sofa.

A shirtless bald middle-aged man sat there.

He had a large body full of muscles, was smoking a long cigar while his expression seemed to be one of deep contemplation.

Of course, he was his father, Paul.

When he saw Luis, he looked dumbfounded for a moment then his face turned red while his eyes bulged suddenly.

"Boy, I didn't expect you to still dare to come home!" He shouted as he stood up and picked up the baseball bat that had been lying beside him.

After that, he jumped at Luis while swinging the baseball bat at him.

Luis could only roll his eyes, but from his perspective, his father's movements seemed slow.

He was just an ordinary human. An Awakener at Level E, despite not possessing a Spirit, was still much stronger than an ordinary human.

Shua!

He moved quickly, grabbing the baseball bat before it hit him.

When he held it, it was unable to move again no matter how hard Paul tried to push it.

"What?" He was dumbfounded with disbelief.

"Dad, why so emotional?" asked Luis in a casual tone.

Strength gives confidence. He couldn't panic even if he wanted to even if his own father was furious with him.

"You?" Paul opened his mouth, suddenly looking confused.

In response, Luis took out his 6000 Dollars from his pants pocket.

"Yeah, I do have a 5 Million Dollar debt. However, in one day, making thousands of dollars is very easy for me," Luis said, showing off his money.

"How is that possible?" Paul was wide-eyed at the sight of so much money.

At the same time, the door to the room on the first floor opened, revealing the figure of a middle-aged woman wearing a nightgown.

She was not particularly beautiful due to lack of maintenance, but her calm and gentle expression gave the impression of sincerity.

It looked like she had just woken up, awakened by the commotion outside her room.

Seeing Luis, she couldn't help but be surprised.

"Paul, what are you doing?" She then screamed when she saw Paul trying to hit Luis with a baseball bat.

Only, she was quickly made to realize that things were not as she imagined.

Her name was Lily and she was Luis' mother, the wife of Paul.

Luis is actually their second child. He has an older sister who lives in Velos City 1 and works there.

She very rarely comes home, at most in a year she only comes home twice.

"Mom!" Luis greeted his mother with a faint smile.

After that, he pulled the baseball bat out of his father's hand.

The latter couldn't resist the force of the pull from him.

Of course, the man had calmed down by now.

Luis then walked to the sofas and stood in front of one of them while waiting for his parents to sit in front of him.

Only then did he sit down while placing his 6000 Dollars on the sofa table.

"Luis, what happened, aren't you a Spiritless Awakener?" asked Lily.

The knowledge of Awakener was known by almost everyone.

Paul and Lily naturally realized that Luis was not as simple as they thought.

He didn't seem to be suffering after becoming an Awakener, a case that shouldn't happen to a Spiritless Awakener.

"Mom, I don't have a Spirit," Luis replied.

"However, not having a Spirit doesn't mean I'm weak," he added with a chuckle, only further confusing his parents as it was common knowledge that Spirit was the determinant of strength.
