"Miss Aelia" Back at Michael's house, Raylene was trying to wake up Gaya.
Gaya would always stuff her belly with the food she put in Michael's kitchen but when Raylene saw the food she left last night untouched, she became worried.
She put the breakfast on the table and gently shook Gaya's shoulder to wake her up.
"Wake up, sleepyhead sister" Cindy also accompanied her mother to see Ghost and Gaya. Seeing Gaya was snoring and refusing to wake up, the little girl giggled.
After a few seconds, Gaya's senses picked up the aroma of the breakfast as her nose twitched. Slowly she opened her eyes to see Raylene and the tiny human standing before her.
"Goodmorning Miss Aelia"
"Goodmorning Sister"
Both mother and daughter greeted her while Gaya stretched out her limbs.
"Where is big brother Ghost?" Cindy curiously gawked at Michael's room but when Gaya heard his name, she became annoyed and angered.
"That bastard went whoring, tiny human"
"Miss Aelia!" Raylene immediately covered Cindy's ears. The little girl tilted her head and stared at both of them confused.
"What? She's gonna turn big one day"
"She's still little to know those things, Miss Aelia" Raylene said and looked at Cindy
"Cindy go play with the others"
"Okey-dokey" Cindy laughed and hopped outside happily.
"What happened Miss Aelia? you seem upset" Raylene knew although Gaya had a cold demeanor, she was a warm person inside. It was not like her to scold Michael in front of Cindy and go to sleep without licking the bowls clean.
"Am I jealous? Why am I feeling like this?" ever since she saw Michael and Sadie kissing on the wall, she lost her appetite and was feeling frustrated for some reason.
"That bastard can bang whoever he wants, I don't care" She consoled herself and decided to direct her focus on the delicious breakfast before her.
Raylene was a teenager and a girl like her before and she could somehow tell what's going on inside her mind. However, she remained silent because deep down Raylene knew a mortal girl like Aelia had no chance with a Prodigy like Ghost. She didn't want to fan the feelings inside Aelia's hearts with her words and gave her any wrong ideas.
She was not eating her with her usual speed but still, she kept stuffing her mouth.
"I'll leave you to it" Raylene gave her some space and left the house leaving Gaya with her food.
******************
"See you later" Michael waved off Sadie and stepped out of the house he occupied for the night. Compared to the first time he came here, now River town seemed less crowded because of the Netherel attack. But he could see many people coming back to the town while he was taking a stroll through the streets.
"Master Ghost"
"Greetings Young Master Ghost"
The people on the streets quickly smiled and greeted him. He smiled back and gave a small nod towards them and continued his morning walk.
Before he started the attack on Netherel, some of the Netherels attacked a few buildings and left them in ruins. One of the destroyed buildings was the tavern he stayed in before.
As a citizen of earth, he knew River town is now in for taking and every destroyed building of the town is free real estate. Particularly he had his eyes on the tavern building. For some time he was planning to open up a restaurant chain and make Raylene his head chef. The grocery items needed to run the restaurant were not expensive in the System store and after the upgrade, he had seed packs for a cheaper price. Buying the seed pack and farming the vegetables needed for the restaurant was more plausible than him supplying the vegetables every single day. Even if he bought the vegetables in bulk, they wouldn't be fresh after a few days and freshness was very crucial to run a successful restaurant.
The meat was a whole other matter. The meat he was giving Raylene to cook had Arch Energy infused in the molecular level by the System. However, if he bought the meat from outside, the taste would not be as good as the meat from the System.
If he wanted to control his world from the shadows, he needed money, and businesses like these are a great way to get a stable revenue. Ever since he came to this world with the system, he never forgot to ask himself the question 'What if the system went offline?'
He didn't want to depend on the system too much and in his mind, the next best thing after the System was money. So he planned to invest his money to make more money.
