Chapter 317: 317: "..."
Just like that, under Alfred's skillful driving skills and with the use of a car that was comparable to a race car. They've reached their home in just a matter of few minutes.
In the end, there is really a family matter going on. But it wasn't the family matter Caleb expected. He thought that are was a trouble encountered by the family. If it's related to others, he was ready to make a move and destroy them. The family of a Transcendent can't be just provoked, right?
Of course, he was the only one who knew his strength.
Back to the topic, it turned out that it was his birthday. No, not him, but the original body. The real Adam. It's not that he forgot about it. He has a high spiritual attribute which gives him a monstrous memory. However, he didn't really pay attention to the birthday of his predecessor.
Now, during the so-called Alfred's urgent need to pick up Klein. They are actually trying to make sure he's already out of school and prepared for the timing.
In the end, it led to the scene in front of him:
"Happy Birthday, Adam!"
Caleb looked at his father who had a rare wide smile on his face. Then, there was Klein who had a toothy grin, and Delvin side by side with him.
On the other hand, his mother and the maids were clapping.
Everyone was dressed colorfully for his birthday. There are balloons and he could also smell the aroma of food wafting in the air.
'What a mishap... To think that it was this body's birthday...'
However, Caleb didn't let this stop him from having a smile on his face. He let out a smile and said: "Thank you, everyone. And here I thought there's a family trouble going on..."
"Dude, I'm sorry about that. But seriously, it's your birthday. Did you forget or you just thought that we ain't celebrating it?" Klein sighed with an apologetic expression.
"We made you worried..." Their mother and father smiled.

Caleb shook his head. "Nah, I just think that I'm old to be celebrating my birthday like this."
"What old? You are just a high school student."
Delvin snickered with a speechless expression.
He couldn't understand his brother Adam sometimes who behaves like a darned old man and thinks one like too.
Obviously, their age aren't that far apart, right? Sometimes, he feels like Adam is an old monster imprisoned in a young body... But is there such a thing?
Delvin sighed as he thought of this. Still, he loves his brother very much and he would build his business empire with him in the future!
'I may be a high school student but my soul is even older than Adam and Eve.' Caleb couldn't help but vomit in his heart.
Their mother, at this moment, grabbed his hand and pulled him inside the mansion.
Inside, he saw a long table filled with a variety of delicacies from different cuisines.
There was champagne and other kinds of alcohol that he couldn't recognize. What really caught his eye was the chocolate cake with a candle.
'Damn it! I'm too old for these things!' Inwardly, complained he.
Yet, unbeknownst to him, a smile was plastered on his face.
"Let's go for a toast and eat to your heart's content!" The father laughed as he raised his glass. "Today, everyone shall eat until their bellies are full!"
"For Adam's birthday!" Everyone shouted merrily.
*CLINK!*x3
The clinking of glasses sounded as the family, the maids, and the butler toast with each other.
The headmaid and the other maids didn't hold back. Each of them took a plate and filled it with food of their choosing.
Klein and Delvin mostly brought meats on their white plates such as sizzling beef steak. The father and the mother ate vegetable salad and sweet delicacies such as cheese bread, mamon, and leche flan.
Caleb, on the other hand, simply let their butler choose for him. He looked at the red wine in his glass and drank it. He savored the feeling and the taste as it passed through his tongue down to his throat.
"Son, down forget to blow the candle and say your wish." The mother teasingly said as she pushed the dark chocolate cake with red berries on top to Caleb's direction.
"HAHAHAHA!" Everyone laughed as they saw Adam's awkward expression.
Caleb: "..."
In the end, Caleb pulled the cake nearer to his reach and scanned his gaze. He saw his father's smile, his mom's look of expectation, his two brothers' annoying face, Alfred's look of encouragement, and the maids' gape.
With no choice, Caleb blew the fire on the candle and made a damn wish.
'I hope I'll live in this world and die due to old age...'
Yes, it's strange for others to wish for their death on their birthday, right? However, his wish was actually positive. Die of an age? That's luxurious for him when you consider his short-lived lives in other worlds! He hasn't died of old age yet!
"What did you wish, bro?"
"I think his wish is to become the strongest genetic warrior in the PH or at least become an Extraordinary Genetic warrior?"
"Nah, I think Adam wants to marry a beautiful girl with a jade skin and tender *Cough!*"
A black line appeared on Caleb's forehead. Irked by the words that reached his ears.
What do you mean by jade skin and tender *B!?*
As for becoming the strongest in the PH... Not bragging, but he can even destroy the entire country itself. As for Extraordinary Realm...
"My wish? It's not something that anyone of you could fathom..." Caleb put his hands behind his back as he put on a mysterious expression
Klein: "..."
Delvin: "..."
Everyone: "..."
...
The next day, Caleb woke up with a refreshed mind. Another year of survival! The celebration they had yesterday was fitting!
"Let me think... It's Wednesday. Who's our teacher for today again?"
Caleb yawned. Then, he thought of Hui Kui. The guy who blocked their way on the school grounds.
