Omega Summoner

Chapter 378: Birthday

The next day came and Adrian excitedly got up his bed. Today is his birthday and he is now 18 years old. The endless possibilities of what he can do amazes him but today is his day. He is simply happy that he would be able to spend the day with the family he loves and cherishes.

His friends would also come to his house today. Those that can come anyway as he also tried inviting Creepysoo, Vayu and Soleil but unfortunately, they could not come due to personal circumstances and living in other countries.

Adrian also tried his best to wash up by himself as he could now walk like normal with the aid of the exoskeleton. He went down to their living room to see that his mother is already cooking spaghetti which is a staple party food from where they are from.

Another food that Adrian is looking forward to is the whole roasted pig being cooked in the open area behind their house. The amazing smell of Lechon (the whole roasted pig) woke him up from his dreams. The ones who are roasting the pig is the guards that Adrianʼs family has hired.

Adrianʼs mother is also receiving help from the wives of the guards as they are preparing for a feast as Marlon, Esmeralda and Albertoʼs family are all coming for the feast as their families are long time friends with Adrianʼs family. Adrian is quite shocked that his closest friendsʼ mothers hit it off so well as if they were the ones who have been friends the longest.

”Good morning, dad!” Adrian greeted his dad that is currently having his morning coffee.

”Good morning, son. Did your sister wake up yet? She takes too long to get ready so you better tell her to get ready soon as guests will arrive in about three hours.” Richard stated as he remembered that Mina always tries to look pretty whenever guests come to the house.

Suddenly, the head guard which Adrian calls Uncle Lito suddenly rushes inside the house. He does not look panicked but more like he is troubled by something. This usually happens when someone is at the door wanting Adrianʼs father to invest in their business.

”Boss, someone who is proclaiming to be your father is at the from gate. He even bought a delivery truck full of stuff. We already checked the inside of the delivery truck and it is full of presents. No bombs detected in the presents so it should be safe.” Uncle Lito stated.

”Did you already tell the old man to leave when you first told me about this incident a few minutes earlier?” Richard asked.

”Yes Sir! But the old man strongly insisted that he is your father. He even showed me the I.D that has your surname that is the same as him. And if I were to be honest, he scares me.” Uncle Lito replied.

A limousine then suddenly pulls over just a few meters away from Adrianʼs house. The limousine door opens and from it a person that Adrian would describe as a ʼdandyʼ came out. Adrian looked at his father and he could see his face making a helpless sigh and tired expression.

”Have I not raised you to always respect your elders, Richard? Though I applaud you for the added security as you have been dealt with numerous troublemakers in the past. You got that from me at least.” The dandy old man stated.

”Hello, Dad. Nice of you to drop by unannounced.” Richard stated while gritting his teeth as he came out to greet his father.

Adrian is so shocked with news of knowing that he still has a grandparent that he went to tell his mother. He always thought that he no longer had grandparents due to his father or mother not telling stories about them. He always thought that it brought them painful memories when they remember them, so he did never bring it up.

Upon hearing what Adrian said, Maria immediately fixed her hair and clothes. She then went outside to meet with her husbandʼs father. Mina who is now ready to receive guests saw that there was a sudden commotion outside and asked Adrian about it.

”What is all the fuss about?” Mina asked.

”Apparently, we have a grandfather at our father side. He just suddenly brought with him a limousine and a delivery truck with him.” Adrian replied.

”I know that they probably have some issues and adults are talking but I am an adult, and you are also technically an adult.” Mina stated.

”So as adults. We can listen in on their conversation. Ladies first!” Adrian gestured as they went to the location of their parents.

”Dad, why are you really here? You do know that I cut off all ties with the family because I no longer want the inheritance.” Richard stated in a tired tone.

”You do not have to worry about that as I did not come here for you but for my grandson. I even bought all this presents just for him.” Gerard stated.

”Really!” Adrian shouted in excitement as he saw tons of presents being unloaded in front of the house.

”Well, if not for you then who else? I see that you grew up to become a fine young man. You look just like me when I was in my teens. Who knew I was that handsome when I was young? Hohoho.” Gerard complimented himself.

”You can just call me Grandpa or Gramps. Whatever you prefer as long as you are happy with it. Do you want to see the very special present that I got just for you?” Gerard asked Adrian and the latter just nodded in agreement due to the excitement.

”Bernard, unwrap the gift that I got for my grandson.” Gerard commanded and his faithful butler did as he was told.

A box that is about a meter in height is then presented before Adrian. Bernard then gestured the young master to open it himself. Adrian anxiously opened the box and was surprised to the point that blood rushed over his head.

The gift that he was given was non-other than the first ever small statue of the game Pandemonium. The statue basically contains the human, orc, dwarf, elf, and gnome which are the five starting races posed in a battle position. The human is dressed as a paladin, the orc as a berserker, the dwarf carrying a hammer, the elf carrying a bow and the gnome throwing magitech bombs.

”This is the limited-edition statue of Pandemonium! It is said that this is the only copy in existence. How did you get it!? No scratch that! You are the best grandpa ever.” Adrian shouted as he fawned over the statue.

Gerardʼs ears reverberated with the last sentence that Adrian stated. He even unconsciously used the camera function of his haloswatch to take dozens of pictures of Adrian. Richard looked exhausted trying to deal with his father, so Maria just advised him to deal with it later after the party.

The guests came and the party started. Adrianʼs gifts did not end with just the statue as his newly acquired grandfather bought him all his favorite snacks all around the world. His friends even got a bit jealous, but Adrian shared some of his snacks with them.

Mina did not say anything because she was handed a box. She almost fainted after peeking at it.
