Apollo closed the restaurant for the day, he wants to visit Mount Tsuki to harvest the crops, he doesn't have any ingredients to use anymore and he still needs to plant a few vegetable seeds.
Arriving at the mountain, dense trees covered the entrance. Apollo walked for a few minutes and arrived at his farm, although it felt a little bland because it doesn't have any life, it's still manageable for Apollo.
At first, he only made this farm to grow vegetables, but after bonding with the Millet family more and Anne, his heart grew softer, he wants to make this farm into a paradise for Anne. When he saw the billions of deaths in Li Feng's memories, his heart turned numb and stone-cold, but after seeing Anne so happy whenever she is with him, he couldn't help but cherish her.
He looked at the farm with a smile on his face, 'One day, I'll make this a paradise for you.'
The thing that made him love Anne more is because her past, he wouldn't care if it were anybody but Anne isn't just anybody to Apollo.
When Liam and Cristine chatted with Apollo, they revealed that Anne isn't their child and is just adopted, Anne's parents have offended a large mafia group and was chased wherever they went. They came across Liam's house, their bodies are bloodied while the father carried Anne anxiously.
They entrusted Anne to Liam and Cristine, that was their last wish before they died, in front of Liam's house. The day after that, Liam gave them a funeral, with Anne in hand and holding Cristine's hand.
Apollo couldn't help but shed a tear when hearing this, he only knew Anne for a couple of weeks but the strength of their bond is stronger than anything else.
...
Sitting on the shack, Apollo drink tea as he looked at the sky filled with stars, suddenly, a silhouette of a large bird past by and landed on a tree, staring at Apollo's farm.
'He came back, huh.' he murmured to himself before he stood up and went towards the bird. One of his perks of being a cultivator is that he could fly by surrounding his body with Qi and controlling it.
Apollo flew towards the tree where the eagle is, the eagle just stood at the tree, motionless, afraid that if it moves, it will instantly die.
Apollo arrived at where the bird is and sat beside it, "Are you all healed now?"
The eagle still didn't move, it stared at the farm without blinking its eyes.
"Come here." He gestured his shoulder.
The eagle moved its head towards Apollo slowly and flew on his shoulder. Apollo went back to his shack and placed the eagle on the table where he was drinking tea before.
He bought the highest grade of meat from Atlas and placed it on a bowl raw and placed another bowl filled with water from the fountain of life beside it.
The eagle slowly ate, from its expressions, Apollo could tell that he is enjoying it.
Apollo stayed for a bit in the Mountain to feed the eagle but left after the eagle ate over 1kg of meat.
...
Arriving in front of the restaurant, Apollo saw five people lining up in the restaurant even though it's already 9:00 pm, those five people are Kate, Abbie, Noah, Levi and the woman who had perverted thoughts about egg fried rice and noodles.
"The restaurant's closed." Apollo plainly said.
A sad "Aww" Filled the air as they reluctantly leave.
Noah being bold said, "C'mon boss, even if it's only egg fried rice, we'll buy it." the people in his back nodded, supporting the idea.
Apollo stuck to the idea of closing but the frown Kate made seem to make him feel heartbroken for some reason, so he decided to open the restaurant for an hour just because of this reason.
...
They finished their meals quickly, they each ordered two meals of egg fried rice, a bowl of noodles, and apple juice. They have only one sentence in their minds while eating, 'Beggars can't be choosers.'
Apollo closed down after the last customer finished his meal and went upstairs to sleep.
...
Apollo is too lazy to open the restaurant today, the bank called Apollo after he woke up, they said that Apollo could now upgrade his account so that it would have an infinite balance, Apollo agreed and paid the fee.
Apollo deposited $500M to his account and left the bank, the manager was dumbfounded when he heard it from his superiors.
Apollo took out his phone and called Liam inviting them to go to the mall, Liam agreed and said to meet them there.
He arrived at the huge mall and saw Liam, Cristine and Anne in the entrance, waiting for him. "Big brother!" Anne shouted, then she ran towards Apollo, hugging him.
The reason Apollo wanted to go to the mall is that he is bored and wanted to go to a mall for once. He hasn't gone to the mall ever since his rebirth so he's pretty excited, even though this mall isn't even a tenth from the malls in the cultivation realm in Li Feng's memories.
The malls there reaches the sky, although the items aren't high tech, the items sold there are swords, spiritual artifacts, weapons, etc.
He has basically experienced what a trillion-year-old being experienced in his lifetime.
They walked inside, shining lights, people advertising their products, lots of stalls could be seen, it's like they've entered a new world.
Anne gazed at every corner, her eyes brimming with curiosity, she let go of Liam's hand and ran around the mall, pretending to be an airplane.
Anne has only gone to the mall once, and that was when she was still a baby and doesn't have thoughts of her own.
From clothing stores to tech stores, the mall has it, it has three floors, the ground floor has a food court, three arcades, restaurants, and clothing stores. The second floor has a clothing store, a pharmacy, restaurants, and a pharmacy.The third floor has the same but instead of a pharmacy, it has two toy stores and an indoor park filled with toys for kids.
Anne asked Liam and Cristine where the toy store is so she could window shop, although she has millions of toys in their house, it isn't the same as buying it from the mall.
The three went to the third floor and found the toystore Anne wanted to find, the entrance has a glass window, the right side displayed toys for boys like Beyblades, consoles, and transforming robots.
The left side displayed toys for girls, like dolls, ponies, etc.
Anne let go of Liam and Cristine's hand and ran to the girl's section of the store, she stared at the toys displayed on shelves with a huge smile on her face that turned into a frown right after, she walked towards Liam and Cristine with her head down and a frown on her face, she hugged Liam's leg with her head still down, a tear could be seen falling down her face.
She knows that her family couldn't really afford toys because of their current situation, 'What a considerate child.' Apollo thought as he stared at Anne.
Liam has an awkward smile on his face while Anne hugged him, meanwhile Cristine looked at Apollo, feeling that something is about to go down. She had always observed Apollo ever since Liam took him in, what she learned is that Apollo always has a soft spot for Anne and would do anything for her as if she was his sister.
Whenever Apollo looks at Anne and smiles, that's when Cristine knows that Apollo would do something ridiculous for Anne again.
When she was about to get rid of her silly thoughts, that's when Apollo spoke up, he crouched down and tapped Anne's head, looking at her in the eyes while smiling, "Go pick whatever you want, your brother Apollo will buy it."
Anne wiped her tears, a smile slowly growing in her face, "*Sniff* *Sniff* Really?!"
Apollo nodded, Anne ran towards the toys she wants while wiping her tears, Cristine shook her head and chuckled, 'I knew it.' she thought to herself.
...
Anne bought five carts full of toys, other kids in the store looked at her with envy, meanwhile, she looked smug as if saying, 'Hehe, you guys don't have a big brother like mine.'
The clerks were surprised at the amount of toys Apollo bought for Anne, although they were all toys, they all amounted to over $5,000.
They asked the store to deliver it to their house, they then continued shopping, it was mainly Anne that bought stuff, from toys to robotic animals that she could ride. Apollo didn't forget to buy Cristine and Liam some stuff too, he bought Cristine a few jewelry, bags, and all sorts of clothes, meanwhile, he bought Liam a few Rolex watches and shoes as an advance gift for his birthday. They first rejected it but Apollo kept insisting them, so they agreed.
Apollo asked the stores to deliver all of the items to Liam's house, but Cristine didn't want to trouble them that much so she held a few bags filled with designer bags and clothes in them, same with Liam.
They walked out of the store, Cristine carrying a few bags, same with Liam, meanwhile, Apollo held Anne's hand while she is eating ice cream.
