Side Effect

"What's the price at?" Amy asked as she looked at Bryan sitting on the laptop.

This wasn't the first time she had done it today. The day had passed in the same way as the family kept coming back to look at the price. The price had not fallen but it had not risen by a lot, just cruising to mid 260s.

Bryan who was browsing the news looked at his mother as he replied, "It won't change in a second. I just told Bella and it's still the same."

Price watching had become the sport for the Best family. It was just like bookies did when they bet on a game, even if it was a boring game, they spent the day looking at the scores. For Amy and for Bella, it was just like that. They couldn't go a long time without watching the price chart.

Bella walked into the living room as she sat next to Bryan. 

"Show me." Bella asked.

Bryan opened the browser tab to show her the price.

"You can look it up in your phones." Bryan said.

"It's more fun this way." Bella said as she stretched with her feet just touching the table where the laptop was.

"No feet on the table." Amy said before Bryan could intervene. 

[Sometimes, it's good to have a strict mother.] Bryan thought.

Bella opened her book to show her mother she was studying as she watched Bryan reading news and whatnot. It was some time later she spoke.

"Bryan, Did you get a new deodorant? Why do you smell so good?" Bella said as she tried to get close to Bryan's hair. 

"I always smelled good and no, I did not." Bryan said defensively.

[So, it is annoying. The gene potion does have a great effect on the minds of the opposite sex like I remebered in the description, but on my family. Fuck, I can't just get away from them. Fuck, let's see what happens when it happens. I am sure they won't do anything I don't do it.] Bryan thought as he took the high road of not taking the first step himself.

[I thought this would happen after the level 2 genetic potion.]Bryan thought about the side effect which lead to the weird behaviour his mom and his sister displayed.

The genetic potion had changed Bryan in more ways than just improving his physique. He could grant anyone immortality if he wanted. Ofcourse, it wasn't just that simple. 

He was like a vampire but instead of sucking blood, he had to give his blood, he was the vampire but he didn't suck. He had to let others suck him, be it for blood or something much more delicious.

Bryan knew all this. He knew he had to give his blood to his family and he had to give it to them regularly for eternal life. He did not do it this time because the level 1 potion was not very powerful. It could cure minor flus but that was all it would do. It was the level 2 potion which could help anyone get the stem cells which would have effects like increase in vitality and anti-ageing properties.

Bella stood up on the couch as she tried to grab Bryan's head as she spoke, "Is it the conditioner then?" 

"Bee, do you want to be choke slammed?" Bryan threatened her by reminding her of the times he did get angry with her. The siblings used to fight a lot and imitate the moves they saw on WWE. 

"Ouch! He punched me." Bella faked an injury and tried to call for mom support.

"I can see it, Bee. I was looking at you both. Seriously, did you forget how old you are?" Amy said as she smiled looking at their behaviour and sat on the side opposite to Bella.

"It's rising." Amy said about the price chart.

In just a couple of minutes, It was past 266 and she felt a little less anxious.

"Mom, don't I have another 25k. Mom, I want to be rich just like him." Bella said.

"Don't be greedy. It's already a lot. You can go to a better college and not worry about scholarships." Amy said.

"She is right. If you have anything, this is the last chance. By tomorrow, the price should be around 300$." Bryan reminded Amy.

Amy held her head as she tried to think.

[He is right. It is going up. Maybe, I can quit my job if we bet everything on it. No, it's too risky, I can't. Why was I even thinking about that. ] Amy thought. 

It wasn't that Amy had changed. It was because of Bryan's passive persuasion. It was just like Godmen could ask their followers to do stupid things. Bryan was like the best specimen of the human race and him telling Amy to do more had that effect. Still, the effect was not strong enough as her own thinking did prevail at the end and she did not sell everything and put it in bitcoin.

"How much do you think it will rise?" Amy asked Bryan.

"It should go around 1000 dollars." Bryan replied.

"Fine. Add in the rest then. I don't want to regret not putting in the money which was just lying around in my savings account." Amy said.

Bryan got the nod and opened his mother's account to buy more. She had about 35k in the account.

"Brie, that's my share, remember it." Bella said as she looked at Bryan. She was resting on Bryan's shoulder to look closely.

The price had increased during the day from 240 to almost reaching 270 dollars. Bryan bought another 130 bitcoins taking up the total to 1070. His mother had helped him buy a total of 440 coins which was larger than the amount he had expected at the start.

[It will be an easy start with this much money.] Bryan said he calculated the final revenue of around 1.3 million. Ofcourse, this was before he paid back the double interest to his friends but that was not a compulsion. He could pay them back a bit later. Redeeming a specialist bot was the priority for Bryan.

The family did not do much the rest of the day except for Bryan helping his mother in cooking the dinner.

It was late at night when Bella should have gone sleeping but the mother and daughter were still lying on the couch, one was reading while the other checked her fakebook updates.

Bryan who came back after having a long chat with Andrea on the phone saw what they were up to and spoke, "I am closing it. It's too late. Wasn't there a rule that I had to sleep before 11. How is she still here."

Amy wanted to say something but Bella spoke, "I am studying." as she pointed at the books which were the perfect coverup for doing anything.

"She is studying." Amy mimicked Bella.

Bryan got into their middle as he looked at the screen. He knew the future so he was not really excited about it but still, how could he not feel the excitement as his family was more into it than him.

"See, it will keep on going up. You don't have to worry about it. I keep getting emails when it crosses a certain milestone. I will sell it when I feel it is time."  Bryan said.

"Don't worry, we will go to sleep. We are just waiting for it to cross 290. We will sleep after that." Amy said.

[Fine. I will wait with them. I don't have anything better to do since I don't need the sleep.]

"Okay, but she will sleep after it goes up to 290." Bryan said about Bella. Bryan was just being a mean older brother. She was already '18' in the parallel world. Bryan had no right to control her sleep schedule.

Bella pinched his abs in retaliation only to feel Bryan's hand behind her neck as he pulled her back.

"Stop fighting you two." 

"Humph!" Bella said as she gave Bryan one last pinch as if marking her victory over him.

The three went back to doing their own stuff.

"Achoooo!"
