After a few minutes they finally gathered their thoughts and gave their answers. Uliana asked about her brother and agreed to go to work for me at a decent salary, but only after seeing a relative. Roberto, even after hearing my rather rosy description of his future still decided to go to his family. Although the guy has quite powerful forces, but I will not drag anyone by force, especially after the answer I discreetly put a seal on him and in a couple of hours he will not remember even my sex. Sam decided to come to my service. The lesbian couple also expressed their desire to become heroes and save people. So I opened a portal for those who decided to come with me to one of the secret bases built just for such cases. Such mini-bunkers could hold up to ten people and had a food supply for a couple of years. Also, unlike their previous place of stay, there was internet here and no one kept them inside. Even so, they had been warned that they might be searched for, so it was inadvisable to walk around outside. After settling the teenagers in their future home, I told them that within a week I would hire people to remodel the place and add more rooms. And in a couple of days, I'd bring Dani a special amulet that should completely cut off her instinctive attempts to find pilots for her energy constructs. So after that, even when the monsters from other people's nightmares appear, the most they'll be able to do is stand there and act like wax figures.
Just when I'm done with the amulet, I'll take Ulyana with me. I've decided to present the girl as an ancient. Her talent is undeniable and in Kamartaj she will be able to become many times stronger and learn to spend her powers in a much more measured way. Of course, given her powers, the Ancient One might want to make her a High Sorcerer, but given her psycho-portrait taken during her "training" in that shack, I wouldn't have to worry about losing my future asset. The girl loves the modern world, convenience and freedom too much. And being a high wizard would make her sit on her arse and be ready 24/7 to fend off some Cthulhu invasion.
Back in Kamarthage I reported the task completed and was released to my room. As I sat down on my bed and reflected on the day's events, I was again reminded of my lost stock of ingredients and bitterly imagined how I would start collecting them again tomorrow. The only improvement over my situation at the beginning of the journey was knowledge and some sort of fame. At least now I knew who to go to for ingredients and how to pay. The new function of the system also opened up some good prospects, which should also be opened up. Even so, I realised that slowly but surely I was getting bogged down with all this training. Now that I'd proven myself to be at least marginally useful, I'd be able to get the Ancients to allow me to move my training to a more floating schedule.

Having received permission to visit Kamarthage, I decided to have a few days of mental relaxation. So from Wednesday till Monday I decided to do nothing and just watch films, serials and lie on the couch with my baby. Before, after I mastered the portals, I could only come to the flat for a couple of hours in the evening and be charged with positivity from this small, but at the same time so big lump of happiness. Now I will spend almost all my free time with him, which these days is 24 hours a day. While indulging in laziness and gluttony, I found a sheet with a phone number and the name Emma on the nightstand next to the sofa. Deciding that these days could get even better, I dialled the phone number.

...
-I'll take it. I've got a free Saturday coming up. - Without realising why, the girl said yes.
-Great. Where do you want me to go? - There was a satisfied voice on the other end of the phone.
-I'll give you the address later. - Smiling at her own thoughts, the girl replied and said goodbye and hung up the phone.
-There's still something about him. - The girl said quietly. -Christian stop hiding, I know you overheard my conversation. God, how old are you to eavesdrop on your sister's private conversations? - Emma said with a sigh.
-I'll always make sure you don't get scammed by some alfonso. - The man didn't seem embarrassed by his discovery.
-You know I'm telepathic, don't you? Or have you forgotten everything but the company's business? - Folding her hands in front of her and throwing a disgruntled look at her brother, the girl said.
-I remember everything, but you just called your Saturday, which has three meetings, one of which is in another city free. - Unhappily looking at his sister said the man.
-We've already achieved a lot I want to rest a little. And you should have a rest too, go to a bar and pick up someone. - The girl tried to change the subject.
-I know you've achieved your goal and now you don't know what to do, but you have to pull yourself together. I've been carrying most of your responsibilities for six months now, but the shareholders are tired of hearing excuses, you need to pull yourself together and lead the company again. - Sitting down tiredly on the sofa Christian said.
-Okay, okay, I get it. Give me your squeeze on the guy. I know that even after such a fleeting interaction you've been digging up material on him. - Raising her hands in surrender and sitting back in her chair, Frost said.
-Rain Pierce is the son of Alexander Pierce, a prominent politician and former military officer. His father has a very powerful influence in the highest circles of power. It is also clear that the boy has a lot of money, so the variant with an alfonso is cancelled. - Christian said to his sister's snickering. -Till he was sixteen, he didn't stand out from the image of a good boy. He didn't drink, didn't get drunk, and had only the highest grades. Though it seemed that by his last regular year of school he had become involved with the more obvious members of the "golden youth". But after a couple of months, their relationship was abruptly ended by Pierce Jr. completely ignoring and I would even say erasing them from his life. Then abruptly passing all of the remaining few years of their extracurriculars with top grades and disappearing off the radar for six months. Then returning and enrolling in a fairly prestigious institute with an extremely abrupt graduation again with top grades. After that he was untraceable and all that can be said about him at the moment is his connection with the army. It is not known whether his father sent him to the service or whether he is taking separate courses, but he spent most of his time after graduation on military bases. - Christian finished his report under the surprised look of Emma who realised something.
-Stop so how old is he now? - With her gaze fixed on her brother, Frost asked.
-Eighteen. - Christian replied with a mocking smile.
-Fuck! I'm going on a date with a teenager. - The girl said dumbfounded.
-Don't worry, given your reputation, there's nowhere lower to fall anyway. - Smiling, the girl's brother said.
-Go to the arse. - Threw in the wake of standing up from the sofa guy Frost.
-With pleasure. And you still really need to dress a little more closed. - Closing the door behind him dropped the guy.

-You know, this day just keeps getting better and better, baby. - Said Ryan, throwing his phone into the chair and stretching out on the couch in front of the TV.
After lying down for a couple of hours and clearing my head of a bunch of thoughts about new runes and bindings, I remembered about the forgotten business. Fighting with my laziness for another fifteen minutes, I managed to defeat this truly powerful enemy and took out the iron plates and began to place them around the flat. The plates themselves were 20×20 cm squares with many protective runes and complex energy lines. There were eight plates in total, and I spent a whole day on each of them. Ten hours to create them and another fourteen to charge them. These squares will have to create an energy shield that will be invisible to humans in case of any possibility of severe damage to the flat. This defence will last only 190-200 minutes and will approximately be able to withstand 3-5 shots from a tank at point-blank range. My main incentive for creating them was to protect the crumb and already a little formed attachment to this flat. So knowing about future events with the Chitauri invasion I decided to secure them. Logically, during the time of dealing with the aliens their troopers and large animals should not hit my flat more than 1-2 times. Although if the whole house will be like a sieve, and my flat will be intact it may cause questions, but given what chaos will be after the victory to this few people will pay attention. Well, the man was lucky, so what? Should stop more than half the questions. In general, the main thing is that the Hulk did not get here and then everything will be fine.Having finished placing the plates under the attentive gaze of the crumb I returned to the sofa again, and my dog on my lap. Still, it's moments like these in a series of frantic missions and training that are most valuable. You can just switch off your brain for a while and enjoy what you have now. And although in the future you may meet enemies who will want to deprive you of all this, but without such moments in the defence of things that are dear to you there will be no point.
