Marvel: Saint Seiya Starting with the Reality Stone
30. The older sister works, the younger brother travels!
Time flies.
A few days have passed in the blink of an eye, and September has arrived.
"By the way, Heidi."
On the evening of the 2nd, after helping Heidi clean up the kitchen, Mike wiped his hands as he walked from the kitchen to the living room. Looking at Heidi, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa with her laptop, seemingly working overtime, he said, "I'm going out tomorrow and will be back in a few days."
Heidi, who was focused on working overtime, heard Mike's voice and grunted in response without looking up.
Seeing this, Mike raised an eyebrow, said nothing, turned around and walked towards the stairs, preparing to go back to his room to sleep.
But at the very moment he turned around...
With a whoosh!
Heidi, who was nestled on the sofa, finally realized what was happening and looked up sharply at Mike.
"Wait, get out! Where are you going again?"
"what."
Mike turned to Heidi, who had already placed her laptop aside, and said with a smile, "Are you planning to come out with me?"
Heidi ignored her and continued, "Where are you planning to go?"
Mike shrugged, not hiding it from Heidi.
"Las Vegas".
"Ras..."
Heidi frowned as she listened to Mike announce the destination: "What are you going to Las Vegas for? Planning to gamble at the casinos?"
Mike shook his head: "How could that be? The Ametra kids never gamble."
This is a quote from Nick, the adoptive father.
Nick, the adoptive father, hated gambling the most because his younger brother had become addicted to gambling, divorced his wife, and disappeared without a trace.
Rumors circulated that he was arrested and sold by the casino because he couldn't repay his debts.
This is why their adoptive father, Nick, hates gambling the most, and it was also one of the things he seriously warned Mike and Heidi against doing when they were young.
The other two are tattoos and contraband.
Nick, the adoptive father, wasn't highly educated; he was just a bus driver. But in his words, "Have you ever seen any of the big shots in Washington, D.C., with tattoos on their bodies?"
As for contraband, that's even easier to explain.
Because this stuff is as addictive as gambling, and once you're hooked, you can never quit, his adoptive father Nick strictly forbids him and Heidi from drinking anything offered by strangers when they're out.
Although their adoptive parents are no longer with them, both Mike and Heidi have always kept these three Ametra family rules in mind.
"Good to know."
Heidi, hearing Mike's comment, echoed his sentiments, then couldn't help but ask curiously, "If you're not going to the casino, what are you doing in Las Vegas?"
Mike couldn't help but laugh and said, "Who says you have to go to a casino when you go to Las Vegas? That's just regional prejudice, Heidi."
Heidi ignored Mike's words and looked at him with a determined attitude, pressing him for an answer.
"So why are you going to Las Vegas?"
"Watching a play."
"Watching...a play?"
Heidi seemed completely taken aback by the answer, and her expression faltered for a moment.
"What show are you watching?"
"David Persephone's Magic Show".
As Mike spoke, he took his phone out of his pocket, turned it on, and handed it to Heidi after a flash of crimson light from his fingertip: "I really had a hard time getting these tickets."
David Bosch, a very famous magician.
Tickets for his shows sell out almost instantly, with tickets averaging $500 each being resold for $5,000 on the black market.
Even so, there are often times when supply cannot meet demand.
only……
David Bosh does indeed have a show in Las Vegas the day after tomorrow, at the invitation of a Las Vegas casino, the purpose of which is naturally to increase the casino's customer traffic.
But Mike said that his claim of getting the tickets was fake.
Because he really couldn't get it.
Just like he just said, tickets for David Persephone's magic show sell out in seconds, and even when they appear on the black market at exorbitant prices, people buy them without batting an eye.
But Mike can say that he bought the ticket.
He has the Reality Gem.
Reality Gems help you make your dreams come true.
So at that moment, the e-ticket that Heidi saw on Mike's phone, sent by the organizers, was genuine.
After Heidi saw the ticket Mike showed her, she pursed her lips, handed the phone back to Mike, and sighed, "You live a more comfortable life than I do."
This comes from the bottom of my heart.
Look at her, she works all day long, and even works overtime at night. She has hardly ever taken her annual leave.
Let's look at Mike again.
Not only are they unemployed, but they can even take two spontaneous trips a year.
This life is too comfortable.
and so!
Heidi couldn't help but look at Mike: "Are you really not planning to find a proper job?"
Mike put his phone away, and upon hearing Heidi's words, he raised an eyebrow: "Hey, even if you don't like how well I'm doing, there's no need to curse me."
Listen.
work?
What a vicious curse.
Heidi is his half-sister.
Heidi rolled her eyes, looking like she didn't want to talk, then plopped down back on the sofa, refusing to look at Mike anymore.
Mike stared at Heidi for a moment, then blinked.
"Why don't you take a day off too, and we can go see it together?"
"I'm not going."
Heidi, without looking up, moved the computer back onto her lap: "One unemployed person in the family is enough. If we have another one, I'm afraid we won't even be able to afford the property tax next year."
Let me share some knowledge that's neither particularly popular nor unpopular.
Although there is no 70-year property right in Lao Mei, it's not because Lao Mei is kind-hearted, but because you have to pay a property tax every year.
Here comes the point.
This property tax is not calculated based on the price you paid for the house, but rather on the real-time prices of houses in your neighborhood.
This is why, in the US, most people dislike those from the mysterious Eastern country who spend money like water buying houses and cabbages.
The arrival of these people will increase property prices in their neighborhoods, thus increasing their property taxes the following year.
The property tax on the house left by the adoptive parents is about $20,000 per year.
Saying too much is not too much, saying too little is not too much.
one more time.
In the US, a family with around $50,000 in savings is considered to be living a carefree life.
Mike listened to Heidi's words, thought for a moment, and looked at Heidi, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa.
"Should I bring you a gift when I come back?"
What do you think?
Heidi looked up instantly, staring at Mike with a dangerous gaze.
"If you don't try, I'll let you experience again what it means to have a sister's love."
