"T-this...an advancement mission! Finally! I can finally access more missions after I complete this mission and those rewards!.. A Demon Sealing Orb that cost a 100K a piece and that $100, 100, my god..that is a big reward..hehe if all missions has a rewards like this, won't I become a millionaire in no time?" John started giggling to himself feeling excited about his future.

John then started his car and drove off from the road shoulder as he headed towards his another destination.

After he finished signing the documents regarding an apartment that he plans to rent for himself that has a single bedroom, a kitchen, a large living room and a nice balcony that faces the city park that has abundance in mana that benefits his cultivation.

But what John failed to notice was that just as he left the building, a pair of eyes is looking at him with interest as he disappeared off the distance. It was the middle aged woman who owns the building whom he met earlier for the rent but it looks she wasn't herself because her eyes look blank like there was grey mist inside her eyes and she muttered " So that is the man whom she took interest in the past few days. I wonder what is so interesting about him that big sister is keeping an eye on him, isn't he just someone who defeated a goblin scout? Aside from him having a cultivation at 2nd Rank Apprentice Realm which is only mediocre based from him age, there's practically nothing special about him. Hmm...how interesting"

The woman suddenly turned back to normal as the color of her eyes returned back to its original color and she looked at around the room in confusion "Huh? How did I get here? Wasn't I sitting over there? Could it be that there's a ghost here? How weird" the woman said while shaking her head, feeling creeped out about what happened to her and hastily exited the room.

In the car, John had a thoughtful but confuse expression on his face while muttering to himself "That woman earlier,,.something feels off about her...hmm I can't just quite figure out what exactly is wrong about her though...hmmm so weird. Never mind, I'll probably find out about it later when I start living there and meeting her more often by then" he said but then shrugged it off at the back of his head, knowing that he can't figure out what was wrong about the woman.

"But this past few days has been good though, knowing that I was able to convince mom to move out was really quite hard even harder than my fight with evil spirits" John hummed to himself while thinking that his pitiful life before is going to get more better in the future days.

By the time he got back home, it was already dusk as the this part of the world slowly welcomes another great night.

John then stopped the car in front their house while he repeatedly honk his car, wanting to annoy them and at the same time surprise his family.

"Who is it!?" Michelle was stomping the ground full of annoyance as she walked out from the front door as she rudely yelled at the black pick-up while thinking to herself "This person is so rude, doesn't he know that doing that repeatedly is rude and annoying!?"

John then smiled at his sister from inside the car while laughing at her annoyed expression and gave a couple more honks wanting to annoy her more but then his expression suddenly changed as he saw Michelle a rock from the ground and he realized that she wanted to throw it at his car.

John hastily pulled down the windows as he frantically shouted at his sister to stop "Wait...wait! It's just me! Stop it!"

"Big brother? It's you!" Michelle was already in the motion to throw the rock at the car but suddenly stopped when she saw her brother's face emerging from the car window with a frantic look and yelled in surprised.

John immediately sighed in relief while he bitterly smiled at himself as he suddenly remembered how fearless her sister can be, that she wouldn't even hesitate to throw a large rock at his car if she coincidentally picked a bigger rock earlier.

"Yeah, It's just me, haha sorry about that" John gave a hollow laughed and then he noticed his mom laughing at him by the front window which made him more embarrass as he completely forgot that he told his mother that he would be buying himself a new car sometime soon and that was this time.

"It was actually you brother! I was just about to throw this rock at your...is that your car!? It looks brand new!" Michelle suddenly squealed with delight when she realized how the car looks new as she ran excitedly outside the gate, towards the car.

"Haha, yeah. I just bought it just now! Yey!" John got of the car and said while laughing with an almost fake enthusiasm.

"Congratulations on getting your first car son!" his mother laughed happily at her son, joyful seeing that her son is finally turning for the better, she didn't even asked him where did he get the money to buy a car, knowing that he would only answer her that it came from his new job. At least John was able to convinced her mother that his new job isn't dealing with 'dirty money'.

"Brother! Brother! Let's go for a spin!" Michelle said to John excitedly as she pulled him towards the car.

"Alright, alright" John gave a helpless expression.

"Mom, you should come with us"

"No ne- alright I'm coming then" she helplessly agreed to her daughter when she saw that she wouldn't budge if she won't go with them and then she went bank inside and locked the house.

"Alright, we'll only give it a ride for a few minutes less we keep your brother Julix here waiting outside the outside" she got on the car and said to Michelle.

"Then why don't we go to brother's shop then mom?"

"Yeah, let's go surprise brother Julix with your new brother!"

"Alright, but we'll only go see him for a bit then come back here immediately"

John then started the car as they made their way towards his brother's shop.

Arriving there, the gang got off from the car as they casually went inside the building. The building was at least 15,000 sq.ft. or maybe more and it was three stories tall and inside, the first was filled with a variety of products ranging from junk foods, spices, seafood, fruits and more necessary things for a person's everyday life and at the second floor, it was full of clothing for all ages, a definition of a supermarket.

Just as the three was about to ascend the third floor, a guard quickly blocked their way and sternly said to them: "This is a restricted area and for authorized personnel only"

John was just about to tell the guard that they know the owner when a sudden voice interrupted him mid action "Mom! John and little sis too! Why are you guys here?" it was his brother Julix, who happily called out to them.

Michelle ran up to Julix and was about to say something "Wait, I was just about to go back and get my things and go home so hold that thought while I'll go get my things, okay? Then you can tell me about it on the way down" Julix gave a slight greeting to John and his mom before he hastily went to his things and immediately came down a few moments later.

"Let's go!"

The family of four slowly made their way down and Michelle went and told Julix about John getting his first car which greatly surprised Julix as he immediately told John, the same thing their mother said to him before, worried that his little brother is doing something illegal. John then told him the exact things he said to his brother with the help of their mom.

"Alright as long as you don't do something illegal, that's okay. So what's your current job then?" Julix sighed then he immediately asked him about his job which John told him the exact same thing he told to his mom.

While the two brothers is having a discussion among them, the two ladies told them that they are going to buy a few things while now that they here.

Half an hour later, the family already got back to their house and immediately went to get their dinner.

"Mom, I forgot to tell you guys that I just signed the lease for my apartment today so I will be moving out in a few days now"
