5 days quickly passed by. Ankit had filled all his energy pathways completely.
He now wanted to test his strength but couldn't find any place, so he just began estimating his powers.
First, his strength had risen to 25 tons (25,000 kg). His defense had risen to the level of withstanding anti-tank missiles.
His speed had increased to 2,000 km/hr (Mach 1.6). His sensing power had risen to 25 km.
His destructive power had also increased, reaching the level where he could destroy a small fortress. His jumping power had risen to 3 km vertically.
His lifespan had also gotten a boost, reaching 750 years.
That's not all. His ability to memorize, fast, and process information had also increased.
-----
After assessing his strength, Ankit quickly ran toward his city. The mountain range wasn't that far from home.
So he quickly reached the city without causing any destruction because he didn't run that fast to cause destruction. He also didn't get discovered by anyone on his way.
Ankit directly wanted to go home, but then he thought of taking some gifts for his family.
So he quickly made his way to a big mall and bought some gifts, pastries, cookies, etc.
After buying them, Ankit made his way toward his home.
While Ankit was shopping, he was oblivious to the staring he was getting because of his handsome face and muscular body.
After completing substage 4, Ankit had become more handsome than before. Now the word "top model" didn't suit Ankit.
He was way above that level.
His handsome face plus his body quickly attracted many people's attention. Even when he was buying things, people stared at him like they had seen a ghost.
But Ankit didn't care and continued his shopping.
Some brave girls wanted to take a selfie or even get a signature from him, but they couldn't take a step further.
They didn't know why they were feeling a type of warning in their instincts. Their bodies were completely paralyzed.
Ankit hadn't done anything to them. This was just his natural aura, and the phenomenon they were experiencing was the same as a human facing a tiger.
They got paralyzed, and the same thing happened to these people.
Ankit's family had also experienced this phenomenon, but because of their close bonds and living with Ankit, this phenomenon's effect was zero.
Even Sanya didn't feel this type of fear.
But now these adults were feeling it.
Ankit didn't know these things, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
For him, his family was important. If they had some problems, Ankit would definitely care.
----------
Ankit quickly reached his home. He rang the bell, and the gate quickly opened.
He saw a little girl's curious eyes quickly turn excited upon seeing Ankit.
The little girl, Sanya, quickly hugged Ankit and said, "Brother, you really came! I missed you. You have to compensate me by making tasty food for me and also make me fly—and this time really high..."
Sanya wanted to say more, but Ankit quickly shushed her and said, "Yes, yes, I will definitely compensate you, but not now. I have to meet Dad and Mom."
Saying this, Ankit began walking inside his house with Sanya.
He saw his father watching TV, and his mother was accompanying his father. His mother shouted, "Sanya, who is it? Who are you talking to?"
She had just begun to rise when she suddenly stopped because she saw Ankit had come.
Kamal also stopped the TV and said, "So you really know the way home. If you hadn't come today, your mother and I would definitely reach your hut tomorrow and give you some sense. It's a good thing you came."
While he said it, he was happy that Ankit came.
Neelam also welcomed Ankit and asked, "Now how many days will you stay?"
"I will stay for at least 5 days before going. Sorry, Mom, Dad, but I have to," Ankit said apologetically.
"You don't have to say sorry, we understand," Kamal and Neelam said, then didn't ask any questions.
The atmosphere was going silent when Sanya said, "Brother, you brought pastry—my favorite—gifts... Is it for me?"
"Yes, I bought all of these things for all of you. And I will also make tasty food for all of you. You just rest for some time." Saying this, Ankit made his way toward the kitchen.
Receiving Ankit's gifts, Sanya became happy, and Kamal and Neelam smiled.
Their son caring for them was the biggest gift.
Ankit quickly made dishes and served them. He also washed them with his water control technique quickly after eating.
His parents and sister all said to Ankit after eating, "Thank you for the food, tasty as always."
Ankit smiled and said, "You don't have to say thank you. I will now daily make this food.
And I will do all the work; you all rest. You're in for special treatment."
Hearing this, Sanya became excited because she could ask Ankit to make her fly and do many things.
Kamal was also happy that he could now rest, but Neelam wasn't happy because she didn't want her son to do all the work. She said she would help, but Ankit quickly said that he had strength and powers, so he could easily and quickly do all the work, and she didn't have to worry and just rest for these 5 days.
