Chapter 127: Jerry's Adolescent Awakening (Second Update)
Chapter 127: Jerry's Adolescent Awakening (Second Update)
Half a month after returning to the Main World.
On the highway, Miss Berry, sitting in the passenger seat, was trying to reassure Hass.
"Relax, my father just wants to meet you and the kids. It's fine, I told him about our relationship, and he didn't object!"
"Belle, don't worry, I'll make sure your father approves of me!"
Hass let out a slight sigh of relief, his tone firm.
Then, he turned to Elsa in the back seat and instructed her:
"Elsa, you must listen to your brother and don't be mischievous, okay?"
Hass was completely confident about Jerry, but he was a bit worried about his precious daughter, Elsa. However, with Jerry around, he figured it wouldn't be a problem.
Elsa, dressed like a little princess, didn't respond to Hass because she was lying down in the back seat, her head resting on Jerry's lap, fast asleep.
She had been woken up too early this morning to get dressed and hadn't had enough sleep, so she was now catching up on her rest.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of Elsa!"
Jerry opened his eyes, stopping his meditation technique, and replied to Hass.
It turned out that after half a year of being together, Hass and Belle had decided to get married. So, Belle naturally told her father about their relationship.
When Belle's father heard that her boyfriend was a police officer with two children, he didn't object. He just said he wanted to meet them first.
Thus, they all dressed up for the weekend and set off.
Thinking about how Hass, who had been a widower for nearly ten years, was about to find a new home, Jerry felt a sense of satisfaction.
However, when he thought about himself, he felt a strange sense of melancholy.
In his previous life, he had been single for over thirty years, and in this life, he had been single for more than a decade. Honestly, he was in a much worse position than Hass.
But there was no help for it. With his current twelve-year-old body, it seemed... not impossible!
Suddenly, the scene from the airplane's changing room flashed through his mind, causing a physical reaction.
However, this thought was quickly squashed by his rational mind.
Now wasn't the time to think about such things. The most important thing now was to improve his strength. Everything else was secondary. If his strength wasn't enough, when danger came, everything he had would vanish into thin air.
In both his past and present lives, Jerry had a habit of preparing for the worst. In his previous life, he worked hard to earn money, aiming to buy a house and a car, and prepare everything needed for marriage before looking for a partner.
He didn't want to have these issues cause chaos on his wedding day.
Sometimes, love couldn't withstand the test of reality.
This life was no different. He wanted to have the ability to handle any crisis before considering love, marriage, and having children. Only then could he feel at ease.
"Is it the onset of adolescence?"
Feeling the occasional flutter in his heart, Jerry wondered if his body in this life was entering adolescence.
Previously, when he saw beautiful women, he would look at them a bit longer, but it was purely an appreciation of their beauty, without any inappropriate thoughts.
But today, it was different.
So, he concluded that he must be entering adolescence.
Considering the time he spent in the Harry Potter world, his body's actual age in terms of strength was about twelve and a half.
It was quite normal for someone around twelve or thirteen to enter adolescence.
Having experienced adolescence before, Jerry was well aware of what it entailed. After all, in his previous life, he had done quite a few embarrassing things during adolescence that he would blush to think about now.
Thinking about it, Jerry shifted his body to the side and gently lifted Elsa's head from his lap, placing it on the headrest of the car's back seat.
Calm and composed, he resumed his meditation technique, and all desires and distracting thoughts vanished without a trace.
All that remained was the joy of his body absorbing energy and converting it into magic power.
“Belle, what kind of business does your dad do? To live in such a huge villa?”
Hass, driving the car as Belle directed, pulled up in front of a massive mansion, his voice a bit shaky as he asked.
Belle, somewhat embarrassed, ran her fingers through her hair.
“I’m not entirely sure of the details, but I know he mainly deals with materials, supplying them to Stark Industries and Hammer Industries.
Don’t worry, my dad loves me, and he won’t make things difficult for you!”
“Stark Industries? Hammer Industries?”
Hass couldn’t help but swallow hard.
He had known that Belle’s family was in business and seemed quite wealthy, but he hadn’t been too intimidated. After all, he was the sheriff of the police department and had seen his fair share of the world. He thought he could handle a small business owner.
However, a businessman who could supply materials to Stark and Hammer Industries wasn’t just any ordinary businessman. They were likely connected to many high-ranking officials in the country.
In their eyes, he was probably just a small fish.
But seeing the encouraging look in Belle’s eyes, Hass patted his chest and said nonchalantly,
“It’s fine, I’m sure I can get along well with your dad!”
“Miss Berry’s family background is indeed impressive. But why would someone so wealthy be a primary school teacher? The world of the rich is truly hard to understand!”
Sitting in the back, Jerry, hearing that they had arrived at their destination, came out of his meditation technique.
He wasn’t as shocked by Miss Berry’s family background as Hass. In his eyes, no matter how powerful Miss Berry’s family was, Hass was still a perfect match for her.
It was simple: because Hass had him, Jerry, as a son.
As a Mage with the Panel, Jerry could easily obtain money, wealth, and status if he wanted them.
And it wasn’t just money, wealth, and status; many things that ordinary people could never achieve in their lifetimes were within Jerry’s reach.
For example, time and life!
Jerry’s true opponents were not ordinary people, but the powerful entities his former colleagues had mentioned, capable of destroying entire planets with ease.
The car pulled up to the entrance of the massive villa, and two bodyguards, dressed in suits and wearing sunglasses, approached with caution.
Upon seeing Miss Berry in the car, they relaxed and spoke a few words into the hidden microphones under their suits.
The gate opened, and following Miss Berry’s directions, Hass drove the car into the mansion’s underground parking garage.
Audi R8s, Lamborghinis, Cadillacs, Bmw series—various luxury cars left Hass feeling a bit overwhelmed. It seemed that the car Belle drove daily was actually the most understated of the bunch.
