32. Hardworking Mommy.

After being offered two cards with the choice of picking one out of the two, Logan had picked the card having fangs in it, and luckily for him, the card offered him two beasts, and he had already given them names.

But as for what type of beasts Nyx and Erebus were, one would simply have to wait for now before discovering it.

Looking up at his system points, Logan noticed he had more than enough points to summon a specialist now.

But since he was feeling sleepy already, he decided to put that on hold for now and instead closed his eyes to sleep.

Meanwhile, at a certain testing facility, Rowena could be seen holding a test report.

After carefully reading through it, a sharp glint flashed in her eyes.

The cosmetic recipe given to her by her ‘Little Man’ was truly extraordinary.

The experts had praised the genius mind for coming up with a formula even they hadn't thought about in years since this was clearly their field of expertise.

However, none of them could have ever imagined it to have come from an eighteen-year-old, much less the son of Rowena herself.

Realising this herself, Rowena's lips curved slightly into a beautiful smile.

Of course, since they knew about the formula now, Rowena had been clear about her intentions as well.

If any of them were to reveal this to anyone else, then they, along with their families, will be wiped off the face of the earth.

Of course, this wasn't just a mere threat cause in front of them were the pictures of their loved ones with Rowena smiling with them, indicating that she knew who each of them were and she was very much serious about what she said.

Having people she could trust was hard to come by, but she was willing to improve the lives of those who would work for her as long as they remained loyal to her.

But as a form of insurance, Rowena had no choice but to remind them of what's at stake if anyone tries to betray her.

Anyways, the test report indicated that the cosmetic recipe Logan gave her contained no harmful chemical substances, and prolonged use was actually beneficial to the skin.

The effect was good, and it was harmless.

So, if this were released onto the market, it would definitely be a money-making machine.

After all, the easiest money to earn in this world is from women and children.

Especially spending on cosmetics, women are never stingy when it comes to their own beauty, so Logan suggesting this branch of business really showed how forward-thinking he was.

'Ufufufu~ it seems my baby inherited that from me.'

'Hmm, it seems I need to offer him a really good reward for coming up with this.'

'I wonder what he would want.'

Rowena smiled and decided to leave the testing facility for now.

There was much work to be done, but for now, she needed to rest cause it was already late in the night.

Now that she's obtained the cosmetic formula from Logan and had confirmed its authenticity, the next thing on Rowena's mind was to impatiently seek out trusted personnel for production.

Then, she would need to establish a cosmetics company for her son, one she would offer control to Logan independently.

Well, seeing as how her son was, Rowena was certain he would want the two of them to be co-owners.

Well, she wasn't opposed to it, so she would indulge him for now till he is old enough to obtain full ownership.

After all, the idea was primarily his, so it was only right to hand it over to him completely in the future.

Anyways, for the sake of her little peanut, Rowena was confident she could develop this cosmetics company into a behemoth, which would also become one of her fallback options, just like her son wanted.

The next morning was a Sunday morning, and Logan woke to the smell of breakfast already cooking downstairs.

After eating, Odette offered to show him around the property, and he happily agreed.

Then they walked past a small garden with neat rows of vegetables.

Logan also noticed a shed Elias apparently used for woodworking on weekends, and they eventually came to a modest wooden structure set apart from the rest of the house.

Its sliding doors were similar to what he'd seen in movies from his previous world, but he had to ask nonetheless.

"What's this?" Logan asked and Odette replied with a smile on her face.

"It's my father's dojo."

Odette slid the door open to reveal a simple training space.

Logan noticed the padded floors with wooden practice weapons mounted neatly along one wall.

"He taught me everything I know in here." Odette explained and Logan stepped inside, running a hand along one of the wooden swords hanging on the wall.

"Hmm, that reminds me. I did ask you to teach me how to fight, didn't I?" Logan asked as he turned back to her with a grin on his face.

"Yes, you did."

"Can we start now?"

"Are you sure, young master? The best way to learn quickly and through pain is by sparring with me and that won't be easy."

"I am ready, Odette, or are you worried I might hurt you?"

Hearing his words, Odette grinned warmly. "It's you, young master, who should be worried about getting hurt cause like I warned you, if you want me to teach you how to fight, then you should be ready for a very serious and very harsh training."

"I am ready."

Hearing his words, Odette's smile turned into that of a predatory smirk. "As you wish, young master. I'm ready when you are."

Both grabbed a wooden sword and stood in their respective positions.

But before they began, Logan asked. "How long are we going to spar?"

"For as little as three hours."

"W-What?" Now it was Logan's turn to be shocked.

"What's wrong? Don't tell me you're scared?" Odette gave a teasing smirk and Logan couldn't help but smile back in return.

"No, I'm not."

"Very well then. Let's do this. Since you want to learn so much, if you're able to land a hit on me, we'll take a break for the day, but if you don't, we'll keep sparring until I say so."

Odette announced the last part in a way that made Logan feel a bit worried about their sparring match.

Noticing this, Odette tried to ease his worries a little by motivating him.

"Don't worry, young master, if you're able to land a hit on me, maybe I'll reward you by doing whatever you want. But then again, I doubt you'll be able to hit me."

"Hmm, you really are certain I won't be able to land a hit, huh."

"Absolutely."

"We'll see about that."
