Chapter 84: Too much money
"How much of a small change are we talking about here?" Aric asked.
"The basic change is the control of hormones. All of them who go through the process are called Ablers. The first change is their lifespan. Their lives extend by at least ten times, and with that comes hormonal control. These Ablers are not only attractive but also great at manipulation, and thus, in most human empires, they are not allowed to marry or have children with non-ablers. This is done to ensure they don’t manipulate the non-ablers using hormones. There are other superpowers like generating static electricity, small control of some elements, and other minor abilities. They don’t have higher levels of superpowers like shaking countries and continents," Apis replied.
"Don’t have or can’t have?" Aric asked.
"As far as the records go, they don’t have," Apis replied, understanding what Aric meant by the question. Aric didn’t respond, but he already considered that this universe might not be as simple as it seemed.
As he landed in this huge city, he needed to find himself a place. At this point, he had loads of money, so getting a place for himself wasn’t hard here, and he had already thought about getting his own place. He could do whatever he wanted when he was in Echorysia, but here he would probably be questioned if he just rented a storage unit and never came out.
Buying a piece of land was quite costly, so he had asked Apis to contact someone and provide him a tentative time of when he could go and seek land to settle.
"I have contacted Imperial Vallin Real Estate Agency. I have paid 500 Vallin credits to ensure that you are prioritized and also provided them a rough estimate of what you want to spend to acquire land and a proper home," Apis replied.
"You know me well, Apis." Aric was glad that Apis was there with him. He soon found himself a good hotel where privacy was held in high regard. The moment he stepped in, he checked if there were any monitoring devices, and after making sure there were none, he went to the bathroom and vanished. He was back at the toilet of the mall in Delhi.
Now he needed to see if he could go back to Echorysia’s storage unit, which he hadn’t given up yet. And to no one’s surprise, he was back at the same storage unit. The storage unit was empty as he had half a mind thinking he wouldn’t be able to get back here.
