Marcus stared at the mighty back of his dear father and couldn't help but have a stream of tears running down his eyes, clutching his fist as he stared at Adrian slowly leave, his face adorning a beautiful smile as he waved bye to his dear child.
[Last time, I could only helplessly watch while you protected me from all danger we faced. This time, I'll be in the front, and protect you] Marcus declared while waving back.
Adrian, who was leaving the house at the time, couldn't help but smile happily after hearing his precious son's wish to keep him safe.
"Seems like daddy will be in your care from now on," Adrian spoke slowly, wiping the tears of joy before heading towards the Computer store.
With his current bank balance, it was better suited for him to purchase a windows pc, preferably one that is relatively inexpensive, like dell's older version of laptops.
Adrian had multiple excuses to buy cheaper laptops, like keeping more capital to invest, and having some safe money in case things go wrong. But taking in all the information, and his son's words, he couldn't help but stay calm and take a slow look towards the mac store next door and slowly walked.
With white pillars and a holy, pristine aura around every device inside, he couldn't help but sweat at the thought of breaking a phone and paying an outrageous price, or worse, actually being forced to buy one.
He thought over and over again, his frugal mindset unable to stop him as the love for his son overcame his desire to save money, resulting in a successful purchase of a Mac, alongside the tears of his bank balance, which was currently at a 1000$ exact.
"Curse my kind heart" Adrian was dead tired, his mental health on the edge of collapsing. If they fail, they won't have money to eat. But knowing this was his son, he was ready to face hardships, even if all the thoughts were fake and his son had no clue about stock trading. He was his flesh and blood, regardless of being aged almost his age mentally.
Adrian soon walked home and laid on his bed, sleep slowly invading his mind as light snore sounds awoke Marcus, who was clearly waiting for the opportunity.
[A Mac. I thought he would purchase a windows laptop. Dad... I won't betray your trust.]
Adrian smiled unconsciously as he leapt deeper into the realm of dreams.
Next day; at 1 pm
The fluttering of keys woke up an unprepared Adrian, who couldn't help but open his eyes to see a tiny hazy figure typing at an insane pace. As the creature turned its head at a seemingly full 180 degrees, Adrian fainted on the spot, his eyes hurled back and mouth foaming.
Marcus sweatdropped at the sight of his father waking up and gave out a sigh of relief as Adrian fainted.
[Phew, he luckily didn't see me typing, otherwise, he'd think of me as a satanic baby for all I know. He is already superstitious enough, There is literally no need for more problems to face as of now.]
[As of now, with the 1000 dollars already installed in the account, I managed to earn 12526$. But how do I disguise the fact that I earned all this money?]
Suddenly, a clever idea struck the mind of the little regressor, who turned to the Mac and quickly opened javascript to enter the necessary code to make a gift page, and lazily laid beside his dad, snuggling close to him before sleeping.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Soon Adrian woke up, turning on the lights to look at the unopened laptop case and the sleeping figure of his son.
'Seems like the ghost I saw was just a part of my dream. Let's just open and try to use the laptop first.'
Adrian opened the case slowly, being careful so as to not break the clearly fragile laptop. But right after opening the laptop, the presence of a pop up on the screen shook him.
The Pop-up:
(Congrats! You have received a grand total of 10 thousand dollars!!. As the purchaser of the 1 billionth product made, you have received an official deposit of 10 grand in your bank account. Your original amount for the Mac has been returned as well)
Adrian was dumbfounded by the sudden Pop-up and smiled. Seems like the lord is on their side. Meanwhile, our little hero just snored, a bubble from his nose as he drooled in his happy sleep.
