Chapter 798 - 798 Twelve (1/2)
”Hmmm. Where did you get the money, Damon?” I heard my mom asked beside me.
”I found a rare metal yesterday, mom. I knew it would sell big. I took it to an appraiser and its worth was at least 1 trillion universal credits.
They said it was part of an alien ship and the information they'd get from it would be priceless.
I took the money and gave them the item.” I weaved lies out of nothing and intentionally lowered my voice to affect the atmosphere I'd wanted to get.
”REALLY?!” but mom couldn't contain her excitement. HAHAHA!
”Shhhhh! It's unbelievable, I know. But it's the truth, mom.” I shushed her down.
”Did you tell anyone about this, Damon?!” mom was livid with delight but she did not forget to guard against any unforeseen eventuality.
A street smart lady, that's my mom. HAHAHA!
”Only you, mom. I know it would be dangerous for others to know of this.” I replied.
”Good. HAHAHAHA!”
”HAHAHAHAHAHA!” my mother hugged me tightly while she was laughing her heart out. And after a while, I felt my shoulders go wet with her surging emotions.
”Don't cry, mom. Everything's going to be okay from now on.” I embraced the woman who gave me life into this world.
”What's wrong, mom?” Kiera asked when she noticed mom's shaking figure on my arms.
She tried to keep her sobs down but after her daughter's question, she just couldn't take it anymore.
The relief she felt was as palpable as the rivers of tears she was outpouring.
”Uh.. Nothing… Uhh… Kiera… Mother's…. just… uhhh… happy…” mom answered with her choking sobs for all to hear.
”WAAAAAAAAAAAA!”
”Don't cry, mom!”
”WOOo Wooo WOooO!”
And my sisters joined in on the cry fest. HAHAHA!
”KNOCK!”
”KNOCK!”
”KNOCK!” but our family hug was interrupted by the sudden advent of a visitor. Good timing, Nomad. I applauded.
”Who is it?” I called through the door.
”Flash Service Delivery! Here for Mr. Everhart.” A familiar moronic voice answered back.
”Thank you.” I said after I got my purchases for the day.
”Did you buy some more things for us, brother?” Stephany asked. She looked on the five big boxes on the floor and touched them gently.
She was an adorable curious cat. HAHAHA!
”Yes, open it.” I nodded.
”What is this, brother?” Kiera asked after she had opened hers also. She gazed at her gift with amusement.
”Are these cooking gloves, brother? But we don't know how to cook. Hehehe.” Stephany commented.
”Those are not for cooking, smarty pants. HAHAHA! Try it on.” I answered.
”WOW!” Stephany exclaimed after she put the oversized gloves on and it turned transparent and vanished completely on her hands.
”Prime Nanotech User Identified…”
”Assimilation Complete…”
”Welcome to the most advanced Nanotechnology equipment of our age…”
”Defensive and Offensive Capabilities are as follows…” Stephany heard the various beeping notifications in her ears.
