Chapter 58: Asking for permission

After returning to their home, Michael immediately started to prepare himself for the presentation of a lifetime.

He had to completely convince his parents of his plan to relocate to the Parched Lands. His father would probably agree, but his mother, on the other hand, would definitely try to stop him in any way she possibly could.

To make the conversation work better, he served them breakfast on bed, giving them delicious pancakes, bacon, and eggs.

"Mom…Dad…I have a favor to ask you," Michael said, trying to act as innocent as possible. "Remember when I received the inheritance of the Parched Lands? Well…."

Michael went on to give them his entire plan, which consisted of staying in the Parched Lands and creating his own house there.

He told them that the only way he could improve his inventions was if he stayed at the place where petroleum oil was abundant. He even briefly told them about the concept of electricity and other uses of energy.
