Jayden inwardly cursed, she had gotten all too preoccupied in the calming moment of comforting her grieving father and listening to his words that she had completely forgotten the reason she had even called him for.
Now there was only 1 ability crystal left, making her heart race with adrenaline as she started to panic, her hands becoming shaky and her palms sweaty.
"Dad! Can I please borrow 135 million dollars!?" Jayden blurted out of nowhere, clear panic and urgency in her voice, making her father rather confused.
"135 million dollars!? Why would you need that kind of money now? A nigh-" Mason replied, before being cut off.
"Please father! It's really important! I won't waste it on a stupid dress or something! I promise to pay you back!" Jayden's voice rang in his head, lighting the forest of his brain ablaze, causing a wildfire as he struggled to fathom what his daughter just said, words that he never imagined he would hear come out of her mouth in even a million years.
A wide smile grew on his face, the wildfire in his head now disappeared, reappearing in his heart and eyes as he turned around to his secretary who was still on the ground trying to recover from what had just happened to her, his voice full of warmth.
"Jannet! Please send 135 million to my daughters account immediately,"
As soon as his words reached her ears, she stood up as straight as an arrow, not even bothering to bow as customary, only saying a simple "yes sir" before going on her computer, typing on the keyboard with blurry, lightning-fast hands and a nervous yet professional look on her visage.
"It should now all be in her account my lord," She said only a split second later, wiping the sweat off her face.
Jayden's eyes grew wide in disbelief, she could not believe that her father agreed so quickly. In the past when she would ask for such a large sum of money, he would reject until she had to beg him for hours until he cracked and gave in, sending her the money after she repeatedly threatened that she would no longer like him anymore and would leave the family, making her inwardly cringe now that she thought back at it.
She had no idea what came over her father to give her the money this time and she had no time to ask, any moment of hesitation and the crystal would no doubt be bought.
Focusing her gaze back on her PC, she immediately went to check out, noticing that it was still in stock, the relief on her face increasing when she noticed that Moby kept the payment information autosaved from last time when she had reminded him a few times to not do that, part of her thought that maybe he knew that such a moment would come and that keeping it saved would have been better which made her inwardly chuckle as she actually thought that it could have well been a possibility, almost like he had been playing 4d chess behind her back.

Pressing the final button, she breathed out all her stress in one fell swoop, her voice clearly reaching her father from the other side.
It was finally done, she had successfully bought the crystal, and just like she expected, as soon as her purchase was verified, the teleportation pad began glowing a bright white as she waited for the teleportation process to complete, choosing to continue her conversation with her father in the meantime since she still wanted answers.
"Father, I am just wondering… Why did you agree so quickly? You would usually not be this lenient with this amount of money…" Jayden's voice was casual and serious at the same time, making her father respond.
"Well, it sounded like you really needed it, your tone was much different than the last time. Besides, you said that you would pay me back! Now how do you expect to do that when you have no source of income other than from me?" He spoke with an upbeat, amused voice, his laughter reaching Jayden from the other side.
"Haha! What else do you think? I'll do it in the most sure-fire, effective way possible! I'll start an only stans! Trust me, I'd earn millions in no time!" Jayden replied with an amused voice, making her father answer in a complete panic.

"NONONONOO! It's okay! It was a rhetorical question! I never actually expected you to pay me back! Please don't do that!"

Her father's voice made her laugh as she assumed that he thought that it might have actually been something she would unironically do in the past.
"Pfff! No worries dad! Of course I won't do that! I planned to just hunt beasts on other planets or maybe look into stocks using my allowance," Jayden mused, making her father wipe the sweat off his face and calm his nerves, with a mellow smile as he was now manipulated into telling her that she didn't need to pay him back when he had wanted it to be a learning experience for her to uphold her end of bargains.
he always had a soft side for her and it seemed like she had gotten even more cunning at manipulating him than before, making his mellow smile turn warmer as it was indeed an important skill for one to master.
"You almost gave me another heart attack, well, if you want to pay me back then go ahead, if not I guess it's fine since the money is going to good use," Mason said, calming himself down.
"Thanks, dad, I'll be sure to pay you back as soon as I can," Jayden replied, making her father raise an eyebrow since he could not tell if she was joking or not, choosing to keep his mouth shut since he knew such a conversation would lead to nowhere, and he wanted to see for himself if she was joking or not with her own actions.
Suddenly, to Jayden's right, the white light that came from the teleportation disappeared with a sound notification that she immediately muted before her father even got the chance to listen that she had already purchased what she wanted.
"Anyways dad, It's been really fun talking to you but I have to go. I had a sleepover planned with a friend today so I have to be off now. I don't really have much time to talk since I'm running late, don't worry about anything! Love you dad!" Jayden spoke with a warm voice, giving him a kiss from the other side of the call.
Mason had many questions to ask and many more things to tell her, "Tell a servant to take you there, "Who is this friend of yours?" "How far are they from your house?" But he chose to let her go. He had noticed how much she had matured in the past few months and he decided to have more trust in her words and let her take on some responsibility and become more like an adult, especially after the chat they just had.

At least he knew that she would for sure not go back to the school where a mass murderer could be running around, that he knew he for sure didn't have to warn her about.
"Take care and stay safe sweetie… I love you too..." He replied, his voice as warm and soothing as an angel, his daughter's kiss with a soft kiss of his own before the call was closed.
Slowly, the warm smile on Jayden's face slowly dissolved into something far more serious.
Without a moment of hesitation, Jayden shifted her vision to the teleportation pad to her right. On it was a blackish-deep purple crystal, shifting and cackling, the very fabric of time and space completely distorting the air around it, making objects behind it appear even bigger than they actually are with an ominous aura surrounding it.
It looked far more different in real life than in the pictures provided with all of the effects that could not be perfectly replicated on a digital screen. Yet, she did not have time to gawk at how otherworldly the crystal looked, the shadow crystal for her family, in her opinion, looked far better anyways, and she had seen it many times already.
Immediately, she reached her hand out and grabbed the crystal, feeling nothing when she held it as she stored it in her inventory for safe transport.
Then pulling up a piece of paper, she wrote down a quick note telling her servants that she will be gone for a while and that they should not worry, just in case they felt the urge to call her father again and him starting an all-out war with the military, something that made her head hurt to even think about.
Then, after checking the weather to make sure that it wouldn't rain, she immediately transformed into her wisp form, opening the window of her room, making sure to close it behind her just in case they suspected some sort of kidnapping, before flying away in the direction of the school to meet Moby and the others at her top speed, the brilliant light of the night time city underneath her and the full moon above as she flew far higher than any car could reach.
She had so much pertinent information to share with Moby, along with giving him the ability crystal which she was still curious about what he even planned for it.
