Mystery: My Encounters with the Celestial God

Chapter 57 The Moretti Family

As the great Roselle aptly put it.

Money is not everything, but nothing is impossible without money.

Klein understands this all too well, and he's willing to sell his body and time for money.

In the end, he still chose to take the extra job, and the extra pound a week made the poor man very weak.

Dunn explained his job of taking care of Ron as follows.

"This is an extra job. Ron is a minor Extraordinary, and you need to keep an eye on him and guide him in a positive direction."

It must be said that Dunn is sometimes a really good leader, solving the problem of unruly kids while also getting his team members extra pay.

"So, Captain, I don't need to come in this afternoon?"

"That's right, but not having to come to the company doesn't mean you don't need to work. Ron is a troublesome little guy. He has his own mature set of logic, so you have to keep an eye on him at all times and not let him cause any big trouble."

When asked about the team's questions, Dunn gave an affirmative answer, explaining that this was not a half-day holiday, but rather fieldwork.

Klein had mixed feelings about this matter, having already experienced Ron's difficult nature firsthand.

"Come on, Ron, I'll take you to my house first so you can get acquainted with it."

Looking at Ron following behind him, Klein adjusted his mindset and seriously considered how to guide the rebellious teenager who was going through his adolescence.

He was single for both of his lives, never even having a girlfriend, let alone his own children. However, as a master of "keyboard parenting," he quickly came up with a good idea.

Dealing with children is simply a matter of feeding and playing. As long as you satisfy their needs, they won't cause any major trouble.

So he decided to take Ron out for a walk in the afternoon, and then make tomato oxtail soup at home in the evening to entertain this "distinguished" guest.

Tingen is known as the city of universities, so naturally there are many fun places to visit. On this sunny afternoon, Klein took Ron to the circus and to see the memorial exhibition, but Ron seemed rather uninterested in it.

He would only stop in front of some dessert shops, then walk in with a nonchalant expression and order several rather expensive desserts.

Ron intended to pay himself, but every time this happened, Klein would step forward and hand over the cash he had prepared to the clerk.

Ron didn't refuse. Since this guy was so eager to pay, it meant he had some money to spare.

The sun was setting, but the glow of dusk had not yet appeared, for it was only a little past five in the afternoon.

Klein, carrying large and small bags, got off the public carriage and arrived at Narcissus Street, in front of his own house.

"Ron, remember, don't let anything slip. Never mention anything about Extraordinary beings."

"When Benson and Melissa ask about me, just say I work as a historical consultant for a security company, understand?"

"Leave the rest to me. Don't say anything out of line, or I'll never buy you snacks again!"

Klein whispered countless warnings to Ron, even threatening him with dessert, fearing that the rebellious teenager would reveal his secret.

"Okay, I understand!"

Ron nodded slightly, agreeing to Klein's request.

The door lock clicked crisply, and Klein led Ron into the house.

It's Friday, and Melissa and Benson haven't returned home yet.

The scholarly gentleman first settled Ron in, placed the desserts in front of him, and then busied himself in the kitchen preparing dinner.

"Sphere, I know what you're trying to do, but you're just wasting your time!"

Once everyone was alone, the Celestial Venerable's will uttered a mocking sound in Ron's mind, seemingly laughing at his overestimation of his abilities.

"Oh? So confident?"

"Sothos, the Mysterious One is right. The Source Castle isn't a physical entity; it's located above the Spirit Realm. With your current strength, you simply can't find it!"

The primordial voice came, affirming the words of the Celestial Venerable.

"How will you know if you don't try? Besides, Yuan Chu, shouldn't you be helping me at this time?"

"I'm just telling the truth."

As soon as the honest and simple words fell, Ron's mind went silent again, and this time even the troublesome Celestial Venerable ignored him.

Because the Celestial Venerable was extremely confident in his great treasure!

Only beings who have merged with His authority are qualified to enter the Source Castle, and entering the Source Castle requires secret incantations, symbols, or rituals.

Without these two things, Ron could only watch helplessly as Source Castle remained untouchable!

Just then, the door creaked slightly, and a sweet female voice came in.

"Klein, it smells so good, what are you doing now...?"

Melissa paused abruptly because she had already seen Ron, a blond-haired, blond-eyed boy or girl, sitting in the living room eating dessert.

"Who are you……?"

The girl had barely uttered her question when her good brother Klein rushed out of the kitchen with a spatula in hand.

The fortune teller kept a close watch on everything, fearing that Ron's loose tongue would reveal all about his extraordinary nature.

"Ah, hahaha, Melissa, you're back."

"This is the child of one of our company's senior executives. His parents are very busy lately, so they asked me to look after him for a couple of days. There's extra compensation for this!"

"Entrusted to you!?"

Melissa didn't care about the extra compensation Klein mentioned; instead, she couldn't understand why the children of Klein's company executives would be entrusted to Klein's care.

"Sis, do you think I'm someone who's really bad at taking care of children...?"

Klein noticed the suspicion in Melissa's eyes, muttered to himself, and then began to explain.

"Melissa, you know, most security companies are full of rough, burly men, not the refined, college-educated type like me..."

Klein's explanation was logical, which convinced his sister Melissa of his lie.

"Hello, my name is Melissa Moretti, welcome to my home."

Ignoring her brother's subsequent words, the girl approached Ron with bright eyes and greeted him politely.

"Hello, my name is Ron."

Ron nodded slightly and politely greeted Melissa as well.

Seeing the blond boy put aside his unruly demeanor and get along fairly well with his sister, the young night watchman couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

He turned back to the kitchen and busied himself preparing dinner.

……

"Cheers! Let's welcome little Ron to the Moretti family!"

Benson Moretti raised his ginger beer. As a seasoned salesman in an import-export company, he had his own unique insights into Ron's arrival.

This means that Klein has firmly established himself in that security company and has gained the trust of senior management.

This made the older brother, who was like a father to him, feel incredibly gratified, as if he were seeing his own child finally grow up.

The crimson moon hung high, the gas lamps inside the house were bright and peaceful, and the small welcome party was incredibly lively, showcasing the Moretti family's hospitality.
