"Leonard Da Vinci? The one who painted Mona Lisa? Are you saying his art is comparable to that great artist?" Liam asked curiously at the male clerk. Though he was happy with the compliment.

Liam wouldn't say that his art is comparable to one of the greatest artists in history, but he loved the compliment.

"Yeah, kid!" Jared said with gleaming eyes. "I mean the art itself is a masterpiece not only that the engaging story is god-tier!"

"Oh, don't you get bored re-reading it over and over again?" Liam asked, he already knew the feeling of re-reading the same story a couple of times and well over time it gets boring since you already know the events that would ensue.

"Yeah well, I do get bored kid. That's why I'm waiting for the creator to make another series" Jared said as he rested his head on the counter.

"What if the creator doesn't create a new series? What if he doesn't have any more motivation or inspiration to create another series?" Liam asked curiously what Jared's reaction would be.

"Nah that ain't happening I'm sure the creator has a lot of ideas" Jared said. He looked back at the kid and he thought of it but he doesn't even know the name of the kid. "By the way what's your name kid?"

"I'm Liam Lockley, what do you mean though that he has a lot of ideas?" Liam asked.

"Well, Liam this would be our small secret. But I know someone who works at Cowell's News Agency, the guy is a friend of mine and a recruit. He told me that the seniors in the company have started printing a new series. I don't know the name of the new series since my friend wasn't allowed to handle the new batch of copies of the new series, only the seniors or the original workers were allowed." Jared said as he leaned close to Liam.

...

"Liam sweetie?" Silvia said as she glanced at her son talking with one of the shop clerks.

"Sorry my mom is calling me I have to go bye," Liam said as he immediately left the clerk and went to his mother. Liam imprinted the words from the shop clerk and thought that this was already good publicity.

"Who were you talking to sweetie?" Silvia asked a bit curious.

"Oh I don't know him, Mom" Liam said without a care. But still, inside he was happy that his Comic have already reached people.

"Hmm ok sweetie," Sylvia said.

After their grocery shopping, they immediately went to the parking lot, they have two cars one for Silvia and one for Jhon. As Liam got in after helping his mother put the bought vegetables and ingredients in the trunk he buckled his seatbelt.

As Silvia started the car's engine she couldn't help but stare at her son in the rear mirror. "Sweetie"

"Yes Mom" Liam answered.

"You shouldn't talk to strangers ok, remember what Mommy said? They might be kidnappers sweetie" Silvia said with concern.

"Ok, Mom I understand" Liam answered as he continued to stare at the window.

As soon as they came home, Liam helped Silvia in arranging the bought goods and took out his ingredients.

"Ok, Mommy would help you a bit ok?" Silvia said with concern. She was glad that Liam had a curiosity about baking, but still, he was an eight-year-old that needs supervising from an adult.

Silvia explained bit by bit to Liam as she also demonstrated with her batter, she also bought her ingredients t help Liam. After demonstrating Silvia wiped the sweat on her forehead. "Ok and that's how it's done"

Liam nodded and started to rough up the batter, and just after a few minutes Liam had successfully and perfectly executed the dough and put it inside a bowl covering it with plastic. "Was that alright Mom?"

"Y-yes it was great sweetie," Silvia said taken aback by how proficient Liam was. "Anyways now we have to shape it"

Liam just watched with ease, and after a few minutes, it was his turn.

...

"I'm home" Jhon put down his hat and came inside the house, upon walking to the door he could smell a fragrant aroma. As he walked closer to the kitchen he looked at the figure of his wife.

"Hey hon," Jhon said looking at the busybody Silvia tending the kitchen.

Liam just watched all this on the side, it was embarrassing for him to watch the couple flirt. Liam went to his bedroom to avoid getting awkward due to his parents.

He was finished with GOTG, Spider-Man, Ironman, Hulk, and Captain America. Next, he was planning on creating another set of superheroes Thor and Doctor Strange, Liam was planning on creating 50 series in Marvel after that he would jump into DC.

Liam already tasked the system to input the movie Thor and doctor strange inside his head, and now he doesn't have any problem creating them.

As Liam began to draw Thor's story Silvia called out to him saying it was time for dinner, Liam could only draw about half of Thor's story and this made him feel dejected.

As the family ate, when it was finally dessert Liam went to the fridge and took his cake, Silvia also held her cake.

Silvia's cake was a purple one-tier cake with lavender flowers as the decorations, it was a vanilla cake while Liam's cake was a dark fudge chocolate cake with dark shredded chocolate on top.

"Wow, you baked this?!" Jhon said in delight as he looked at the two cakes on the table.

Silvia and Liam sat down as John began to cut one of the cakes, he picked Liam's first and took a bite, next he took Silvia's and he also began munching on it.

"Wow these are amazing, I got to manage my calories or not I'm going to get fat" Jhon joked earning a chuckle from Liam and Silvia.

After dinner, Liam and Jhon were once again in the study.

"Anyways I already have the money" Jhon handed the envelope filled with dollars in it.

Liam immediately opened it and he earned a whooping 945,000 this was already a huge number for Liam.

"What are you planning on doing with the money Liam?" Jhon asked curious about what his son would do with the amount of money he had earned.

"Hmm, actually I'm planning on something Dad," Liam said as he gave a cunning smile to Jhon.

John couldn't help but get curious. "Ok tell me what you have planned"

"I'm planning on creating a Bakery Café" Liam blatantly said. He looked at the expression on John's face and continued. "Something that can rival Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks" Liam said.

"First the comics now a Bakery Café" Jhon touched his temples and then looked at Liam. "You know that this is unlike comics where you just draw, what you are saying is managing a shop son, there would be workers and this is concerning your identity son"

"I know and that's where you come in Dad I need your help," Liam said, he already showcased what his capabilities are, but what John said was correct this would be unlike Comics where he can hide his identity this time he would be managing a Bakery Café where he has to interact with his workers.
