"Mom, let's have that in the house!" Hermes said excitedly. 

"Ahahaha, of course, we can't have that big Manta-Ray. We live in an apartment. We don't have enough space," Gaius replied.

It would be enough for Artemis and Hermes to go to university without taking student debt and even buy each of the kids good houses in the future.

But of course, they weren't as rich as owning their own aquarium dome for their sole entertainment. Reed was on another level kind of rich, where he could buy anything without caring about money. 

"A—Ah, well, Dad also works hard…." Gaius tried to persuade Hermes, but it seemed that Hermes was old enough to know the truth.
