The Rise of the Urban God CHAPTER 242
Though Mollie was bitten by a snake and was scared of dying, she felt happy as she was coming out of the hospital, holding her grandsons’ arms on either side. This was something she never thought was possible, so she said, “Both of you are family, but also try to be friends. Never turn your backs toward each other no matter how difficult the situation of the other person is. That is what friends and family are there for.”“Grandma, let’s be frank,” Ben was having none of it. “We are going to live in different places, working different jobs. We will barely have time to meet each other, so being friends is a bit too much to ask for, don’t you think?”However, Mollie smiled. “During the early days of my marriage, your grandfather Mike had to work far away, so I had to stay home all by myself. I was still waiting for him so much that I would mix sugar in place of salt, or pepper in place of sugar. I would mess up the dishes because I would think about him all the time. Call it love or obs

After they finished eating, the bill was brought to the table. It cost over 800 dollars. Seeing Jamie leave, Ulmer was taking his purse out, but Fiona gently pushed his hand down.Calvin then paid with his credit card, and he paid fifty dollars each to the four waiters. He also told the manager a column in the R & R newspaper will be written on this ice cream shop soon, for which the manager thanked him beforehand.As everybody was getting into the cars, Ulmer told Mollie, “I have some work, so I’ll be back home by nighttime.”“You can do that work tomorrow, right?” Mollie said. “Just focus on recovery for today.”“I’m feeling just fine, Grandma, so don’t worry about me,” Ulmer shut the door, and both the cars drove away.Ulmer waited until the cars were almost disappearing from his view, and then he started jogging at a high pace, hoping that he’d be targeted again. At the same time, he sent a message to the original Ulmer to find out if anybody in Syslon knew about the organization

Ulmer was thinking of teleporting himself to Jake later and dealing with him, but then Whitley appeared out of nowhere and saved him.And she also was wearing the same earrings. They were small earrings, and one would need to get a better look at them to even recognize the skulls, but Ulmer was able to see them clearly at first glance.Ulmer also wanted to extract information from Whitley, so he didn’t know what else to do other than try to flirt with Whitley. He had experience in flirting, though all of his previous dates ended up becoming fruitless later on.“I don’t believe in love at first sight, but for some reason, I believe your words,” Whitley said. “What do you do in general?”“I don’t do anything in general,” he replied. “I mean, I don’t have a job yet.”“Ah, I see,” Whitley could understand the meaning behind his words. (He came from Syslon, so of course, he doesn’t have a job. Should I just give him a job in my shop?) “I own a cafe. Want to work there under me?”“That’d be

Ulmer sat down on the couch and waited until Jamie slept. And he teleported himself into Jamie’s room.Jamie put the mobile under his pillow, so Ulmer had to be careful when taking it out. After he successfully got his hands on his mobile, he wanted to leave, but he looked at Ivy and Jamie sleeping on the same bed, and it made him remember his parents.Taking a deep breath, he left the room just the way he came.Ulmer then checked on his grandmother who was still sleeping. The swelling on her arm was still there. He gently touched the injured spot, and the swelling subsided pretty quickly.Ulmer looked at the table next to her bed and saw the apples, bananas and grapes. “Now you don’t have to eat so little, Grandma,” he thought. “Just wait a little longer… until I prepare a new home for us. Then you’ll be living with a new family. I’m sure you’ll like Suki and Kale.”A few minutes later.Ulmer brought a bedsheet and mat to the rooftop where Ben was talking with Amelie. It was already

“Why are you so interested in what I do?” Ulmer asked, seemingly out of curiosity.Ben did not expect such a question from Ulmer.“Well, you’re my brother. Do I no need a special reason to help you or what?” Ben snorted. “Honestly, I feel bad for you because of what happened to your parents and sisters. But you still don’t seem to be taking your life seriously. Time doesn’t wait for anyone, Ulmer. Don’t waste your time in some shitty cafe, serving stupid customers who are addicted to drinking coffee and eating cupcakes.”Ulmer somewhat smiled. While Ulmer could tell that Ben didn’t really love him, he also felt like Ben still somewhat cared for Ulmer in his own twisted way.“I appreciate your concern, Ben,” Ulmer said. “I really do. But a job is something that I have to be passionate about, or I will be the one who’ll suffer there every day. So, what job I do in the future is up to me. Whether it’s as a waiter in a cafe, or as a janitor in some company, I will do what I feel like doin

The next morning.Everyone was having breakfast together, and everybody looked happy except for Ruth.“Is it that time of the month?” Mollie asked her in a low voice. She was quite happy that she was able to eat with everyone now, but she didn’t like seeing Ruth in dull spirits.Ruth shook her head.“Don’t bother about her, Mom,” Jamie said. “She’s been like that since yesterday. She’s upset that we only bought her ice cream and not a dress.”“Oh…” Mollie wished she could give Ruth some money.“Didn’t you buy a dress on your birthday recently?” Ivy reminded her.“Recently? That was three months back!” Ruth pouted with wet eyes, which made Amelie smile.“Why don’t we both go shopping then, Ruth?” Amelie suggested.Ruth’s eyes lit up. “R-Really?”“Amelie, don’t fall for her tear-tactics,” Ben said. “She’s not a child anymore, but she hasn't changed at all. You think crying will get you what you want, Ruth? Then you’re fully mistaken!”“I didn’t cry!” Ruth yelled, her eyes still wet. “I’

Ruth picked clothes of all colors, and she brought them to the counter. The cashier counted the bill for those dresses and said, “You’ve picked 12 pairs in total, ma’am. After a 5 percent discount, the bill is 105,852 dollars.”Ruth’s heart picked up pace. “M-My sister-in-law will pay.”The cashier nodded in return.Ruth anxiously waited at the counter, trying her best to not chew on her nails, but it was proving difficult.“What’s taking her so long?” Ruth wondered. “Is she buying more clothes than me?”Just then, Ulmer arrived at the counter and saw the bill slip in her hand.“Can I take a look?” he asked her.But Ruth hid the bill behind her back. “Brother, you should go out and get our car to the front door.”“But I don’t have the keys,” Ulmer replied, making her feel stupid.“I’m not going to tell your parents or brother about the bill,” Ulmer said. “So, let me take a look at it.”Ruth could see the persistence in his voice, so she didn’t want to anger him too much. “If you tell

Amelie and Ruth were returning home. Ruth looked very happy because she bought a lot more clothes than she expected. She couldn’t wait to show off her dresses to her friends.But then she noticed in the mirror the mobile Ulmer was using.She turned around and took a direct look at it. “What’s the mobile you’re using, bro?”“I don’t know. It doesn’t have any brand on it,” Ulmer said.“Is it some Chinese company then?’ she snickered. “I know that you don’t have money, but you shouldn’t buy such cheap mobiles. If it explodes in your pocket, what will you do?”Ulmer didn’t say anything, but Ruth’s words made him look at the system settings in his mobile, and he then managed to find the company of the mobile. It turned out that this was a mobile given to Drevon bank customers, and it was custom made by a third-party company to fit the needs. It had 2 TB internal memory and 12 GB ram, so Ulmer was pretty satisfied by how fast it was working.“I should ask for more of these so I can give it
