Chapter 101 Father's Whereabouts, New Business Idea [Bonus Chapter]

Silas' thoughts were all over the place as he tried to come to a decision.

To be honest, he didn't want anything to do with his father again, but just like Kim said; no matter what happened, Chris was still his father.

Silas thought of this and let out a deep sigh.

After he woke up the next morning after having a fight with his father the previous night, his hate, anger, and other negative emotions towards his father dissipated, but it didn't mean that he had forgiven the man.

Silas closed his eyes for a brief moment and sighed again.

"Fuck it. That man is making me sigh so much."

"LUNAR, search for my dad," Silas told LUNAR telepathically, with the aid of the Gear's neural interface technology.

He finally came to a decision and decided to go with the flow and see how things goes. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

After a few seconds, Silas got a surprising response from LUNAR.

After scouring through the internet, institutions' databases, and CCTV cameras, LUNAR pinpointed Chris' location to be at a rehab center.

"What the fuck is he doing at a rehabilitation center?" Silas thought to himself in confusion when he heard about his father's location from LUNAR.

"I went through the institution's database and found out that he admitted himself into the institution to be rehabilitated for alcohol addiction, and his stay is going to be 90 days long, with 89 days left."

Silas couldn't help but smile when he heard what LUNAR said.

"Is he really trying to change himself?" Silas thought with a smile.

Silas closed his eyes and let out a deep breath as his thoughts finally settled.

He thought about it deeply and felt that since his father was putting in an effort, he should give the man a chance.

"Is this what they mean by blood is thicker than water?" he thought to himself.

"For Alex's and Kim's sake, I guess I will have to give him a chance to be the husband and father he could never be," Silas thought to himself, as he finally made his decision.

"I guess this means that I can go ahead with the plan of us moving out?" Silas asked.

Since the problem about his father's disappearance and unknown whereabouts had been solved, he felt it was time to move ahead with his plans.

"Yes, we can move out, but please make sure it's not far from the office, from where your father is, and Alex's school," Kim said, as she agreed to his plans.

"You don't need to worry about that. I will take those into consideration before choosing the place and Alex can change schools if he wishes," Silas said.

Besides catching the rats in his office, Silas had other reasons for coming to the office; he wanted to show Kim his new business idea.

ELLA was still in free trial mode, and it would last for three more weeks before the premium version was released, but there's a slight difference to the premium version he planned to release now.

He initially planned to release an AI mobile assistant as the premium version of ELLA, but he decided to put that on hold due to the reaction he received when ELLA was initially released. Silas' new plan was to leave ELLA as a chatbot for an undecided period of time to before the premium version would be released.

So what was his new business idea? Simple, it was a game!

Yes, a game. A kingdom-building, gacha game with hero elements, to be precise!

What was special about a game and a gacha game at that? Silas was actually completely oblivious to its glory until he tried the VR version of a popular gacha game.

So what was the difference between a traditional game and a gacha game? What made him think it was better than traditional games?

The first reason why Silas felt that gacha games were better was because of their high profitability.

Silas knew about this as he experienced it personally when he spent $10,000 on the gacha game he played.

This was only possible due to the game's lottery-like experience, which was the gacha.

So the question was, why spend money on a game? The answer was plentiful, actually, but one that Silas would give was, why shouldn't he?

Gacha games were more flexible than traditional games, and even more so due to the majority of them being free-to-play models.

Unlike regular gacha games, Silas planned to create one that had some slight differences.

"Kim, I have a new business idea," Silas said, and Kim's eyes sparkled.

He had a new business idea? Kim could remember how pressured they were under even though ELLA was still in the free trial period. Still, she was curious.

"Let me hear it."
