After a sed, I fouly what I was dealing with: a couple of molemen armed with nothing but their cws and sawed-off double-barrel shotguns.

  This could be very bad. When there's one-moleman there are always many more not too far away.

  With them having the propensity for violend sughtering everything, not moleman, it would be best to elimihem in their ey before they bee a problem for me and the uy at rge. I should probably inform my family ahe governor involved... Oher hand, if I do that, I definitely won't be getting this property. There is also the fact that this could also be a big opportunity for my growth in the way of exp and skill gain, the tter of which is accelerated with bat.

  Not to mention I probably get a pretty sweet deal if I go and have a word with the current arding what I discovered in the mine. If I py my cards right, I should be able to pick up this facility for pennies on the dolr as long as I bring that up. And in the event they put up a bit of resistance, I'm sure both my family and Alice's family would love to hear about what's in that particur mine and why the owhought it was such a great idea to not say a sihing about it to the authorities.

  I really don't uand why the owner wouldn't have informed the relevant authorities… Hmm, on sed thought I guess his or her facility would have been taken over by the goverhereby losing his property for a temporary period along with any i would have been geing, maybe that's the reason. Well, whatever, it doesn't really matter what braindead reason they had for what they did. All that matters is I'll be taking advantage of the information I've learned of and being from the situation.

  Now what do I actually want to do… it doesn't seem like the molemen have any iion of clearing the rubble and ing through the mine just yet, if at all. In the case they did, I'm pretty sure there would be a hell of a lot more than just two of them sitting oher side. For that reason, I should have plenty of time to get the relevant maes and equipment I o make a det bit of kit.

  Although even if I have a good bit of kit to use against them, I have no clue how many of them there are. If there's a lot of them that won't necessarily hold up against a rge group of them, not to mention a horde of molemen. Not wanting to throw my life away this early on, it looks like I'll o put my ass into gear aher start amassing robots as soon as absolutely possible or buy some with the i of using them for bat.

  Except if I do the tter, my family will be more than aware that I'm up to something dangerous and it's much too early for any of that to be going on just yet. I don't particurly want to fuck up my pns because I was too short-sighted.

  Besides all that, I'll also o monitor the situation in the mine very frequently, multiple times a day, at least for any ges or movements they make while I'm making my preparations to extermihem. I definitely don't want to end up getting surprised by a bunch of ruthless molemen while I'm unprepared.

  On top of that, I'm going to have to make some preparations in the meao ehat if they do try to e through the mihey won't be able to get very far or make any substantial progress whatsoever.

  Haa, I didn't want to, but I suppose I'll be verting a couple dozen of those microfusion cells in my stash not into grenades but into mines. It's unfortunate, however, the gains far outweigh the loss of some fusion cells that I'll be able to easily rep the ing days. Though I'll be making the improved version, the microfusion breeder cells.

  My decisioy much made and thinking about all the gains I'd soon be making, I turned back around and proceeded to where everyone else was, with the exception of Alice, who followed beside me as usual this whole time.

  Leaving the grotesque human mole rat hybrids behind, Alid I rejoined my family and Mr. Birch. After viewing the mine, we had basically explored the entire facility pretty much, thus with nothing else left to see, we collectively headed for the van.

  As we were making our way to said van, my Grandpa Henry slowed down until he was walking alongside me and asked. "What did you think of this one, Dom?"

  "I like the pce. The facility appears to be the best of the three we visited today. Other than that, it should aodate the various things I would for." I answered him.

  "However, there must be an issue with the pce if the property owner is so anxious to get rid of it."

  "That is correct. Any normal person would not sell off a prime property such as this. I wonder what the issue could be." My grandad Henry responded also curious about what the reason could be.

  "Sihere could be a possible problem with the pce I would like to go do a bit of iigating before I e to a final decision, but in the meantime do you think you dey the sale of the three properties until I find out what's wrong with this one." I replied, withholding that I already knew what was wrong with it.

  "That shouldn't be an issue, but don't drag out your iigation too long."

  "Will do, and thanks again Grandpa for always helpi." I responded gratefully with a slight bit of excitement in my voice due to me getting closer and closer to putting all the knowledge I've gathered over the years into actual use.

  "Anytime, grandson." He replied, happy to help his precious grandson once again.

  ing closer and closer to putting all the knowledge I've gathered over the years into use, my grandpa rejoined my grandma up ahead while Alice got closer to me before suddenly reag out and holding onto my hand. When I looked over in her dire to see what , I saw her shoot a smile my way. Uanding that she just wao hold hands, the two of us tinued following behind my family along with Mr. Birch.

  Several minutes of walking ter, we made it back to our transportation, so iled in again and were driven to the real estate office. Directly after ing back to the office, my grandfather told us he had something to discuss with Mr. Bird asked for us to wait for a few minutes while he had his versation with the entleman.

  Thus, whilst my grandpa and Mr. Birch went off to talk, likely te a hold on all three listings for me. My family and I, with the addition of Alice, made small talk amongst ourselves in the meantime while we waited for my grandpa to return. Not too many minutes passed when my grandpa Henry came strolling out of the entrance along with Mr. Birch, who wished us all a good rest of the day prior to him heading io tinue whatever work he had to do.

  Formalities hahanks to my grandpa. We tihrough the parking lot of the real estate offid hopped into my dad's SUV. Right as everyone loaded in and had their seatbelts clicked in, my dad drove everyoo our home. Following our return home, my grandparents decided to stay for lunch before they took off to go do whatever they had pnned inally.

  Well, that roductive first half of the day, but it's time I get bay regur activities. Though when night falls, I'll scour the uy web for the details I need on that property owner. It shouldn't take me more than 10 mio find what I'm looking for.

  With pns of searg the for the property owner's details tonight, I got back to grinding my skills via reading the various things I still o learn about on my ptop, with Alice obviously doing the same, of course.

  …

  Alid I spent the day being productive as usual, doing the activities we normally did. After a good many hours passed of doing that with the addition of some gaming at the end, the day had e to a close.

  "Alright, you two, it's about time you go to bed." My mom came and told both Alid me in her usual sweet voice as the clock reached 10:00 PM.

  "Okay Mom, we'll head to bed in a sed." I respoo her whilst Alid I were in the midst of pying a cooperative game I picked up this week.

  A couple of mier, the two of us reached a point where we could save, so we did so and ed up aming for the night. Now that it was time for bed, us two peas in a pod made our way to my bathroom, which was basically our bathroom at this point, not just mine any longer, ahrough our usual hygienic routihat we o perform every night.

  The mihat was taken care of, I went out to the living room with Ali tow, where both of my parents were and wished them a good night. "We're going to bed. I'll see you in the m, Mom and Dad. Have a good night."

  "Goodnight, Mr. and Mrs. Woods." Alice said directly after me.

  "You two have a good night as well. We'll see you both in the m." My dad responded.

  "Sleep well." My mom said stly, getting up from the coud giving Alid I a hug before letting us go.

  Now that everyone wished each oodnight, Alid I exited the living room and started retrag our way through the hallway to my room. On the short jourhere, I had the bright idea to farm a few brownie points before bed, so I grabbed hold of Alice's hand. Directly resulting in a small as well as satisfied smile making its way onto her faission aplished.

  A couple brownie points successfully farmed, we made it bay room. The two of us were already in our sleeping attire, with me in woodnd camo boxer briefs and Ali her fox ohus, the two of us got into my bed, which has grown in size even further to a queeo me needing a rger bed, not to mention my bed gaining another oct in the way of Alice.

  The moment the two of us climbed on in, I got settled into my usual spot while Alice came my way aed against my chest as she always does nowadays and got nid fortable.

  For the several minutes Alid I talked about this and that and when there was a break in our chatter I decided it was time Alid I got some shut-eye, don't want to stunt rowth. Even though in my case I would likely be fihanks to my system and the superhuman amount of endurance I have.

  "Alice, let's get some sleep."

  "Okay, I'll see you in the m, love you Dom." She responded sweetly, suddenly surprisih an I love you.

  That's new, she hasn't said that previously but I guess she wants tress to that kind of stuff now, and with how ily she's looking at me I better respond in kind if I don't want to have to deal with some kind of i right before bed.

  Leaning my head down a bit I responded in kind and said "I love you too Alice." Followed by a pe her forehead which got a nice pink flush going on her cheeks as she tched onto me further.

  Looks like she won't be sleeping for a bit, but she'll start to, eventually. I'll just go on ahead since I o start my iigation when I wake up in four hours.

  While Alice was dealing with the mixture of feelings I caused her to have, I rexed, closed my eyes, and quickly fell asleep.

  Zzz…
