Chapter 10: Library

The next day morning, Elias woke up in bed.

He took a look at his phone.

This was the first action most people took when they woke up.

They look at their phone.

Elias was the same.

There were three new messages in the group chat.

"Home" from Jake

"Home" from Ava

"We reached home also" from Ryan.

Then, he opened his bank account.

Bank account balance: 152301.6.

Ah, I miss my previous bank account.

I gotta step up in my business game.

Elias put down his phone and went to the bathroom.

He brushed his teeth and had a shower.

Then, he walked downstair to have his breakfast.

Mother was busy cooking in the kitchen.

Father was swiping his phone on the sofa.

His little brother, Marcus was playing video games.

"Dad, Mom. Morning" Elias greeted.

Then, he walked to Marcus.

Elias patted Marcus's head.

Marcus turned his head and saw Elias.

"You naughty. I don't want to let you play" Marcus was still a bit angry with the loss.

"bleh, I don't want to play either" 

"Come, the food is ready." Mom said.

They gathered at the table to have their breakfast.

Elias was glancing at everyone.

It felt great to have breakfast with family.

Elias gazed at his father.

His father was able to walk easily now.

In previous life, his father injured his leg during a family trip.

At that time, they were visiting a famous cave.

Marcus was playing around on the staircase.

Suddenly, a monkey came and took his ice cream.

The monkey even grabbed Marcus's t-shirt.

Father pushed the monkey away to save Marcus.

Then, due to a misstep, his father fell from the long staircase.

On and off, he would feel pain due to the injury.

His injury was fully cured many years later when Elias asked for help from a top magic healer.

In this life, he wanted to prevent this from happening again.

During the dinner, Elias told his parents that he would go out with friends.

His parents were okay with it.

In their point of view, Elias had just graduated from high school.

He had about 3 months of summer break before going to university.

It was fine for Elias to go out and meet his friends.

After the breakfast, Elias played video games with his Marcus.

Kid was forgetful.

So, they played video games together again.

This time, Elias purposely let Marcus win the game.

"Yes, I won. Haha, my Gocu stronger."

Around 10am, Elias patted Marcus head then went out.

He told his parent that he was going out with friend.

But in fact, he was going to a library.

It was easier for him to explain this way.

He knew his parents well.

If he told his parent that he was going to library.

His parent would think that he was lying, suspecting that he was doing something bad.

Then, they would stop him from going out.

He went to the a library to do some market research.

He wanted to know the current market trend. 

So that, he could make his next move.

Elias pushed the door of the library and walked in.

He could see that there were many book shelfs on his left.

And there were five rows of computers on his right.

There was only one librarian inside and around 3 to 4 person.

In this era, most of people didn't like to read.

They prefer others activities.

So, the library was quite empty.

He walked to the book shelf.

He was glancing around to search for any valuable books.

If he saw books that he interested, he would take it from the book shelf.

Elias was taking a book from the book shelf. 

Then, he saw a familiar figure out of the corner of his eyes.

Looks like Ava.

She was jumping a bit while walking towards Elias.

She was surprise to see Elias here.

"Elias"

Elias took the book from shelf and turned to Ava.

"Ava"

Ava was wearing a white T-shirt and jeans.

The well-fitted jeans showed her long legs beautifully.

Her outfit reflected a easy and carefree style.

It suits her very well.

"You also come here for books?" Ava asked with a low voice.

"Yeah"

Elias was holding some books.

He gestured toward the computer zone then walked to the computer zone.

Ava nodded her head.

Elias put down the books on the table and started to use one of the computer.

A few minutes later, Ava came with some book and sat beside him.

They exchanged a glance.

Suddenly, Elias felt that there was a electric current from Ava's eyes.

Ava felt that same too.

She felt that there was a electric current from Elias's eyes.

Her eyes widened.

Then, she quickly turned to her books.

This was a special phenomena between boy and girl.

It was difficult to explain. 

It was like a electric shock, but from a person.

As someone who had many experience in this.

Elias knew what was happening.

He shrugged and continued his research.

So, in the library.

Elias was focusing on his market research.

Ava was reading her books.
