Ethan now was 11 years old. He knew about his biological parent or the real Ethan bio parents. He even recalled their contact number.
But he knew he cannot show up in front of them without having a equal footing. Else he will be framed, bullied and shamed by his younger brother. Even though he had a system like RO2 and had 1000 years of experience. He was essentially just 11 years old. There is a limit to thing he can do. He was not magician or a superhuman. He need to build his strength and capital to face the challenges. Time was not right.
Ethan recalls, in his 1st regression he went to his parents around age of 12. He was expecting his former memories will work. But he was framed by Edgar his explanation landed on deaf ears. Marcus and Amanda were out of their minds. Servants of the house and company executive all followed orders of Edgar whom they thought as import.
In 1st life. Ethan endured humiliation and beatings from servants. Indifference from Bio parents, Yet endured it all and made great progress in school. However in later stage he was suddenly frame do cheating. No matter what he did he was not able to prove the lies. Later under Edgar machinations he died at an edge of 19. Bio parents where shocked they were did have some heart for him. They just thought their son was too spoiled.
In next 4 regression Ethan didn't went to his bio parents and stayed with adoptive parents and they all failed to Edgar's machination.
However later Ethan recognized that he cant really complete this mission without going to bio parents. He also had immense hatred to Edgar as well. Whom he wanted to destroy. So actually made obstruction in search effort by his bio parent using his past life memory and only visited them at 15-17 years old when he had made enough money, had physical strength and strength and most importantly the right connection to minimize Edgars framing attempts and actions against him. This strategy had worked.
Due to Ethan earlier being too small going out shop or trade or run a business was difficult. But Ethan knew this is the right time to make his first pot of gold.
Ethan : RO2 how much gold & platinum we have now.
RO2: Ethan as you know boss allows taking 40 ounces of gold and 100 ounce of platinum per 3 months. I had collected the same for last 3 years. Leading to 480 ounce of gold and 1200 ounce of platinum.
Ethan: Price of gold right now is 450$ and Platinum is 500$. considering 12% lower values of underground market. This amounts to a bit over 710K $. Thats a fortune in 1998.
RO2: You have been progressing with exercises and meditation.

RO2 (Nodded): You got 500 points extra for beating Danny so fantastically. Normally this mission should get you 300 points. Also boss, why didn't we sold the gold and silver to Jacobs in batches.
Ethan: Father had discovered that I didn't went on trip last time. I made an excuse that I went to watch a movie which father believed but gave me an earful. Obviously I cant tell him I had sold gold & platinum which appeared out of thin air by magic. So going out was difficult.
Also Jacob if I had bought so much precious metal multiple times will start to doubt me.
However now I am 11 and half years old. I will tell father I am going to shopping with class friend and than will slip to Willow break.
Next day Ethan took a taxi at 10 am in the morning to Willow break. The Taxi landed a bit over 2 hours at Jacobs shop.
Ethan went inside the shop and greeted Jacobs.
Ethan: Grandpa, thanks for your help last time.
Jacobs ( a bit surprised) : Are you Ethan?
Ethan: Yes
Jacobs: Please please come in. How's everything at home. You are looking great now
Ethan: Thank grandpa, my father is good health now and our business is doing well.
Jacobs: What brings you here.
Ethan: My great grandparents bought this some gold and platinum bullion which I wanted to sell.
Than Ethan produce all the gold he had.
Jacob was a bit surprised but didnt pressed further question, since he was needed to fill some bullion orders and this basically increased his profits multifolds. 10% discount on real gold is crazy. and offered 410$ for ounce of gold and 450$ for an ounce of platinum. Total of 736800$ all credited to your account.
Ethan: You will be buying all this directly?
Jacob: Yes business has been doing great lately, I have expanded and made new contact. New wave of internet trade has increased the market lately.
Ethan: Grandpa, lets go ahead with the deal and asked Jacobs to Transfer the amount to his card.
Jacobs had already checked the gold which was in car boot and taken it all. Deal was done in less than 30 minutes.
Ethan: Thanks, I will take my leave.
Jacobs: If you would like, you can stay for lunch.
Ethan: Next time Grandpa. Ethan left.
Jacobs: Kid if you have more precious metals, come to me without worry.
Ethan nodded and than left in the same taxi he had booked for a round about trip.
He reached Frankstad his home by 2:30 pm. He has made his first pot of gold and Jacob had traded him a bit more money than he expected. He now had 740k $ in his account. It was now time to convert this pot of gold to mountain of gold.
