Chapter 134 - Oniomania

"Hehe-Hehe-Hehe Hahahahah ahahaha" Sir Jean started laughing on seeing the message and sat back on the chair. After remaining silent for some minutes, he turned towards Anisa and asked, "Why didn't you tell me earlier about this?!"

Anisa facepalmed her face, and it slipped out from her mind during that question-answer session and now only she remembered about it.

Aditya couldn't understand his worries and asked the reason of his worries and why he was freaking out.

Sir Jean heard his question and replied the reason was none other than Aryan. Everyone present there had a confused expression on their face after hearing his answer. 

'How in the world is Aryan involved now?' was the question in everyone's mind present there.

Sir Jean knew the reason for their confused faces and told them the entire story. A year ago when he returned home to meet his family, he was telling Aria about Aryan's fast growth over the last two years and about his great potential of surpassing his pops and gramps in the upcoming years. 

At one point, unknowingly, he turned that conversation into boasting about Aryan. Alena, her sweet little daughter, heard all these and got angry at him. For praising someone else rather than his own sweet princess. And she decided to defeat Aryan in a duel and got back all those praises for her.

Anisa, Aditya, Granny Kotori. The three of them laughed after hearing him out and said wasn't it obvious. Any six-year-old kid would have done the same after listening to his father praising someone else.

After talking some more about it Anisa, Sir Jean, and Granny Kotori went to the airport to receive them, while Aditya and Grand Edler went to the terrace to talk about something else.

The night passed and came another day. Aryan was enjoying with pretty, voluptuous girls in his dream when the sun rays fell upon him and dragged him out of his dreams.

He woke up lazily and turned around to see the time.

"What the fck!! I slept that much," said Aryan after checking the clock. It was already 12:30 PM and none of his family members hadn't woken him up until then.

He jumped off from the bed, performed some light exercises, and took a shower after that. Now that his body had undergone some changes, he was looking a bit handsome and mature at the age of ten.

He went down to the dining room and heard the laughing of three voices. The first two were the voice of his mom and Granny Kotori, and about the third one, he wasn't sure.

'Let's see who is this third person,' thought Aryan and entered the dining hall. 

Upon entering, the three of them stopped laughing and looked towards Aryan. 

"Good afternoon, I guess….." said Aryan hesitantly and took a seat on the dining table. Aryan made a telepathic connection with her mom and asked the identity of the third lady sitting on the sofa.

Blonder hair, black eyes, and a face in the 20s.

'Must be someone of mom's age,' thought Aryan, and drank the orange juice served by Takeru.

After sometime Anisa called Aryan to the place where all of them were sitting and gave an introduction of each other.

"Aryan, this is Aria, Jean's wife, and my bestie. And Aria, this is my son Aryan."

"Oh~~!! Uncle Jean is married then." blurted out Aryan, making the three of them laugh again. 

After laughing to their heart's content, the three of them stopped and Aria talked with Aryan. 

"Yes, your uncle Jean is married and already has a girl of your age."

"o.O" exclaimed Aryan and talked some more with her.

Time passed on and both of them became close in an hour. While they were talking, Aryan paused for a brief moment and contemplated something.

Anisa and Aria couldn't understand the reason for his sudden pause and asked him the reason. After remaining silent for some minutes Aryan turned towards Anisa and asked, "Mom, I was thinking now, what should I call her? Aunt Aria or something else?"

Anisa couldn't understand what he meant and asked him to explain better. Aryan asked again that should she call her aunt Aria like he calls Sir Jean uncle or should he call her something else.

Aria couldn't understand why he was asking this weird question and told him to call her aunt Aria.

Aryan intervened at that and said, "But you didn't look like an aunt to begin with."

"What?!!" exclaimed Aria.

"The thing is… Ahhh you look too young like mom and granny. I will feel weird if I call you aunt." answered Aryan and looked towards his mom.

The three of them laughed at his unconsciously given compliment and told Aryan to call her aunt. Even though Aryan agreed upon it, he was still feeling weird to call someone as young as her aunt.

Ding… Dong… Ding…. Dong!!

A sound came from the wall clock, informing it was 2:00 PM already. Yoshino and Takeru exited the room to serve lunch for them, while Aryan took a seat first in hope of getting served first.

Last night he missed dinner and today he overslept in the morning, hence he missed it too. His stomach was already in constant grumbling mode, and mythical creatures were screeching from his stomach to devour the food.

Anisa, Aria, and Granny Kotori hadn't taken a seat yet and were waiting for Sir Jean and the others to come. 

2:05 PM

Since no one was there for lunch except Aryan, Yoshino, and Takeru served him first and waited for the rest of them to join. Since there were guests in the palace, some special dishes were prepared for them.

While one of the guests was talking on the sofa, Aryan was enjoying the special dishes prepared for her.

2:10 PM

The rest of the family members arrived one by one and joined him for lunch. Everyone was seated and had already started eating, except two persons, Sir Jena and Alena.

The two loose spirits were on a tour of the city and got stuck in the shopping mall, cause someone was on a hardcore shopping spree.

"Those four bags from the corner. Yes, yes, those four and those two in the middle row."

"Okay, okay. Something else?" asked a woman in her 40s.

"No nothing else from here. Let's move onto the next," said a girl in jeans. Blonde hair, fair skin, and pretty eyes.

This lil beauty was none other than Alean. Sir Jean's and Aria's cute but ferocious daughter.

Sir Jean was silent all this time and was following her daughter's lead in her shopping spree. 

And the lady speaking earlier with Alena was the manager of that eighty floored shopping mall. Rather than a multi-storage building, it was more of a skyscraper of that city.

2:30 PM

The lunch was already over. Yoshino was making green tea for everyone when a phone beeped in the dining hall. The owner of the device was Aria.

She received the call and talked about something with someone. After a while, she put down her virtual pad and informed everyone that Sir Jean and Alena will be late for lunch. 

"On a shopping spree again?"

"Yes."

"Pfft, like mother, like daughter," complimented Anisa and sipped the green tea served by Takeru.

"Hehe, she is still a baby before me," added Aria and sipped her tea in an elegant way.

Aryan couldn't understand the ladies' talk and asked Aditya about it through a telepathic connection.

Aditya laughed inwardly and told him about Aria.

"Lil Aryan, your aunt Aria becomes a shopaholic whenever she sees the banner of sale."

"Isn't that common? I mean, even mom does that. Not only mom, but almost every female does that, isn't it?"

"No, no," denied Aditya. He tried to explain again what he wanted to say. 

"The thing is Aria is an oniomania."

"Ouch!! Poor uncle Jean" pitied Aryan and sipped his green tea.

"Ahh… I am not sure about that part," added Aditya and informed him about his family assets.

Aside from the Eastern Country's head, Sir Jean and his family owns four small-sized tourism planets and one intergalactic company specialized in designing and manufacturing Gaming Capsules.

Aryan became silent for some time and resumed again by asking what's the size of a small-sized planet.

"Same size as our planet's moon."

"...."

'Will I ever get to meet any normal people who own a normal small business?' thought Aryan and sighed out heavily. 

Till now, every person he met was always on galactic levels. National and international levels were always skipped.

Victor, father of Akihiko and the owner of that newly opened bakeshop was the only one who owned a normal business once, and too on a local level.

But not anymore. Now he was the owner of an international company, and many were trying to get his franchise on their hotels and restaurants.

While he was thinking about all this, two people entered the dining hall. One was Sir Jean, and the other was…....
