Most of the time, Ben passed time at home.
As his sister was having vacation at home, he participated in his family's life.
„Hey, you didn't wake me up!" Emma said angrily.
„Good morning, my lovely sister. I set the clock." Ben said with a smile plastered on his face.
„The clock stops ringing when you throw it against the wall, giving me ample time to fall back asleep. You, however never shut-up no matter how hard I throw you against the wall, thus ensuring the wake-up process." Emma retorted sarcastically.
„It is never too late to go shopping. No need to make your perfect brother responsible for oversleeping."
Ben didn't do much in these days, he watched the exact development of actions and tried to remember some small details about these times.
He had in these times small tasks.
The first one was to find and imprison monsters for his Mirai Research Company. The second one was to plan his next travel to America.
Ben wasn't a big fan of America, but it wasn't strange that such a big country, who was well-versed in neuroscience, to give birth to a genius like Daniel Düsenvor.
Naturally, he didn't develop the system on his own. Scientist and ingenieur of UK, Canada, New Zealand, Finnland and China had helped to create and develop the system.
The idea and concept came from him, so it was normal to focus on him. As long as he could finish everything earlier, Ben could follow with a cooperation of many organization.
Naturally, he had to do it in the right order or persuading a famous scientist to work for him would be delusional.
The problem in finding a monster was to do it without anyone noticing and have it in Germany. These were pretty specific requirements, but Ben knew that every country had some apparission over the first year.
Normally he would hate the task, but it gave him the chance to level up. The monsters, who are too strong or dangerous, would be killed.
Mirai research development went well with Steven Bullard leading it through the basic steps. After having officially opened it, Steven made an opening party.
Ben decided to let Steven be the figure of the company and he would pull the money and the strings from behind the scene.
After writing down some rough events about monster apparition in Germany, Ben wrote down a fake report with fake statistic and gave some test. Followed by other reports about measurement of the stats.
Ben didn't like to cheat, but if he could make his small company famous and take credit for the information from the future, he would gladly do that.
Many businesses were based or financed by bad or illegal actions, it wasn't strange for a business to build its fame on a lie.
Especially if the lie could help to save life and calm down the people.
As Ben passed in the living-room, he heard his mother and sister talk.
„Yeah, fate."
„It is fate!"
„Do we ignore fate?"
„I don't know."
„You should go."
„Going, where?" Ben asked curiously.
„To the party of a friend! Fate's making me." Emma said, looking like a girl in love.
„I hope fate will also cough up a few million for your family." Karo said grinning, while looking at her daughter lovingly.
„Please, there is no fate." Ben said emotionsless.
„What do you mean there is no fate? Of course, there is fate." Emma and Karo responded with a dramatic expression of shock.
„There is no fate, there is no destiny, there is no luck. Astrology is ridiculous. Tarot cards tell you nothing. You cannot read a palm. Tea leaves makes tea and nothing else. Jim Morisson is not hanging out with Elvis and Kennedys did not kill Marilyn."
Ben recited dramatically sounding overly angry.
„I totally knew you were going to say that." Emma said.
As his sister went away at night, Karo & Tilo send him away to socialise with people at his age. Ben didn't think that it was bad to take some fresh air, but he didn't plan to talk to people.
Ben walked in the warm summer night through the void street. Walking in peace was always a relaxing activity for Ben.
It was the opportunity to think about life, work and other things.
Suddenly, Ben hears laughing approaching him. A group of 3 boys and 3 girls came toward him.
Just as they were about to pass.
„Look at the dude. Walking alone. He doesn't seem to have friends."
„Dude, look at his lean muscle. You don't want to exchange fist with that guy."
„Where do you think we are? No country has a better security than Germany."
„Yeah. Never were muscles as meaningless than now."
„I heard that only people with low-self-esteem still do weight training." One of girls commented.
„Hey, Hulk. Where are you heading?" One of the man asked Ben loudly.
Ben didn't plan to provoque anybody, but their arrogance and courage made him want to prove his superriority.
„Were you born on the highway? That is where most accidents happen." Ben responded with a seriousness that nobody would take it as a joke.
„What did you say? Wanna repeat that?"
„Excuse, me young man. Not only are you stupid, but also deaf. Even I have to pity you." Ben said, looking like he was really taking pity.
„YOU, MOTHERFUCKER!! Don't look down on me." The boy and his friends were trully angered.
„I understand what you're saying, but if I agreed with you, then we'd both be wrong."
If after the first exchanges they wanted to verbally beat him up, now they wanted to do it physically. But Ben wouldn't have provoqued, if he knew that he would have to beat up people!
It was exactly because he was older and had a better physic that they didn't even consider fighting. They just left after swearing after him.
