RISE OF THE HOLY DEMONIC GOD

Ch 73: Birthday [1]

After recalling all the progress, he made over time in just ten days, which he thought was good, he realized it was not satisfactory for all the other spirits.

He then went to take a shower, thinking that if Jasmine saw him, he could say that he woke up to study and was feeling sweaty, so he just came to take a shower.

He went inside the bathroom and started taking a shower. While working downstairs, Jasmine heard the sound of the shower.

She walked upstairs and saw that Rey wasn't on his bed She came out of the room and knocked on the bathroom door to see if he was inside.

"Son, are you in there?"

"Yes, mom, just taking a shower."

"Oh, then it's okay," Jasmine said as she went back to do her chores before leaving for work.

Rey, who was taking the shower, was shocked as his mom, who never forgot his birthday and was always the first to congratulate him, didn't even greet him on this special day when he was about to turn eighteen.

Even though his heart was sad, his mind was saying that she would surely greet him before going to work.

After taking the shower, he walked out of the bathroom.

He went into his room and, after drying his hair, started to think about what he should do. He went to his study table and considered studying for a few hours, as he couldn't go to take the exam unprepared with just twenty days or less remaining.

After studying for two or three hours without any disturbance, decided to take some rest.

He looked outside the window and saw the bright sunlight falling upon everything.

He decided to head downstairs to eat his breakfast and meet his friend to celebrate his birthday a little.

When he came downstairs, he saw his mother and sister eating at the table. He joined them to eat, and like every morning, they greeted each other with a good morning, but nothing else.

This surprised him even more, as he observed that they were acting quite too much normally today.

His eyes fell on the kitchen counter where a roll of paper was lying. He pointed toward it and asked,

"Mom, what is that thing over there?"

/Cough/ /Cough/ /Cough/

Jasmine, who was eating, started to cough as if were stuck in her throat after hearing his question. Emmy handed her a glass of water to help her feel better, and after that, she replied.

"Oh, it's nothing, just a few items needed for the kitchen and nothing at all."

She repeated her words hurriedly.

"Okay then."

James started to head toward something cheap, but Rey held his hand and stopped him.

"Bro, what are you doing? Let me go and take something to eat from our usual stuff," he said. Rey, after nodding, released his hand.

"No, bro, today we won't be eating our usual stuff but something much better. Follow me, I will show you," he said as James, who was confused, started to follow him.

He saw him heading toward the expensive premium items, which were the pride of the store and people rarely bought on special occasions.

"Bro, don't go. Have you hit your head today? The place you are going to right has everything costing over a thousand dragon points each," James said as he tried to stop him. But Rey didn't stop and just headed toward the items labeled as the store's expensive premium products.

A warning was placed that touching an item them without intending to buy it might cost 500 dragon points as a penalty.

Rey didn't bother to look at the board and started to pick out the things he thought might taste good.

"James, choose whatever you like to eat," Rey said as he also signaled him to pick.

"Oi, you know that these things cost over 1000 DP each, right? Tell me how many I have in my hands: 3 or 5," he said, showing his fingers.

"No, I'm good, and don't worry, I'm not crazy or anything. I just have the money to buy these things, and it's from my part-time jobs," he said, showing a substantial amount of money on his phone, with over twenty thousand points displayed. The rest was in another account he found in Jacob's vault.

After showing it, he started to pick items, his eyes landing on the premium noodle bowl, the priciest of them all.

He picked it up and continued to look around for more things to choose.

James, shocked to see this side of his friend, shrugged and picked up a few items to eat, not holding back.

After paying the bill, which was about seventeen thousand and some, they both went outside to eat where a few seats were available.

There were five tables placed outside the store, a few occupied by others, with two left to take.

At one of them, he and James placed their items and started to feast on various things.

They prepared the noodles while tasting other items one by one.

While they were enjoying their meal, little did they know that someone was watching them.

After observing them for a few seconds, the person approached their table and said,

"Ummm~~! Hello, are you...."

--

Who is the one, who approached them, is it someone they know. Or it's someone who may harm them.
