Nathan walked down the streets with a light mood.
He humd occasionally to express the happiness he is feeling at the mont.
Then as Nathan was walking, a sound ca from his head and a system interface appeared in front of him.
[New Mission
1. Earn your first million using your own ability in the real world.
Reward: Coffee Shop
2. Research about this world's no.1 villain.
Reward: Soul Talent Awakener ×2]
Looking at the new missions given by the system, Nathan imdiately stopped on his tracks.
"What's this?"
Nathan can't help but raise an eyebrow at the mission given by the system this ti.
The first one doesn't really have any problem. But the second mission, it looks jumpy.
"What does it an by, the world's number 1 villain?" Nathan muttered,
Then he shook his head, "Whatever, I should go ho first then think about it later."
Nathan continued walking back ho.
…
At the sa ti as Nathan receives the mission, Natalie is sitting on the dilapidated wooden floor with an old book in her hand.
"I did not think that this old bookstore had this kind of precious book!"
Natalie said as she looked around her, seeing all kinds of old books on the shelves as well as on the floor.
An hour ago.
Natalie stumbled upon this bookstore when she was on her way ho.
It was an old, dilapidated, wooden bookstore that seems to be already part of history.
Feeling an unknown attraction coming from the bookstore, Natalie unconsciously enters it with the thought of exploration.
When she got in, what welcod her was the sll of old paper and thick dust. Showing that the place has been abandoned for a long ti already.
After looking around for a bit and finding nothing interesting, Natalie was about to go out, when a book suddenly caught her attention.
It was a black book with golden letters outlining the na of it.
Illuminati!
"Hmm, this one seems interesting."
Natalie grabbed the book without much thought about it to take a look at it's content.
Then as she read the book, the more she got absorbed into it and did not notice the ti passing.
It was only after an hour that Natalie finally stopped reading to rest her aching eyes.
Natalie took her phone out to look at the ti.
"It's already so late, I didn't even notice it because of that book!"
"I should go now or my brother will start worrying about again."
As she said that, she took a look at the book in her hands and felt conflicted whether she should take it back ho or leave it here.
"This book is not mine so I should put it back but…"
Hesitation appeared in Natalie's eyes.
Then suddenly, she thought of sothing and smiled mischievously,
"This place looks like an abandoned building so there's probably no one attending to it, right?"
"Then, doesn't that an that there's no owner of this now?"
After those words ca out of her lips, her smile couldn't help but beco thicker.
Natalie, finding a reason to make her stealing 'reasonable', imdiately put the book inside her backpack.
"Now it is ti to go!"
Natalie then left the old bookstore with the Illuminati book.
What Natalie did not notice was the pair of eyes hiding in between the books, observing her this whole ti.
When Natalie left, the eyes also suddenly disappeared and was nowhere to be found.
…
When Nathan got ho, he imdiately made sothing simple for their dinner, before he sat down on the wooden sofa to browse on his phone.
Opening his facebook app, with the thought of passing the ti as he waits for Natalie to co ho.
But when the app opened, he imdiately noticed that he had a ssage.
"Hmm? Why did I not get a notification when I received this?"
In the end, Nathan thought that it's probably just the app being faulty again.
Anyway, he took a look at the inbox and saw that the one who ssaged him was Irish who he t just yesterday.
Nathan proceeds to read the ssage,
[Hey, Nathan! It was fun chatting with you earlier. I thought I'll just say hi, that's why I try ssaging you. Anyway, that's it, talk to you again next ti!]
After Nathan read the ssage, he took a glance at the ti he got this ssage.
7:34 PM
Nathan sweated when he saw that.
"A day has passed before I even got the chance to read this. Irish is probably thinking that I'm rude for not responding." Nathan bitterly said,
Nathan shook his head and stopped worrying about it.
Thinking for a few seconds on how he should respond, Nathan decided to explain the matter so as to avoid any misunderstanding.
In Nathan's life, he always adhere to his motto,
With proper communication, there will be no bad implications!
Nathan took a few minutes to write a good ssage then sent it to Irish.
After he successfully responded, Nathan stopped thinking about it and placed the phone down and turned on the television.
Watching the tv for a while, Nathan started feeling hungry and bored.
"Ahh, when will that girl co ho, it's already 6 PM!" Said Nathan while rubbing his growling stomach.
When you speak of the devil, the devil will co.
Natalie opened the door and ca inside just monts after Nathan spoke.
Looking at Natalie, Nathan imdiately said,
"You, it's already so late, why are you only coming ho right now?"
Nathan's voice sounded irritated but the concern from it cannot be hidden.
"Sorry brother, I just got distracted earlier and did not notice the ti."
Natalie knows that her brother is just worried about her. She also heard about the gangster going around their neighborhood that's why she understands Nathan's worries.
Seeing the apologetic face of Natalie, Nathan stopped nagging.
"Fine, then go, put your bag down and wash your hands, let's go and eat now. I'm starving."
Looking at her brother acting like that, Natalie can't help but smile warmly.
"The brother that I know of when I was a child has started coming back." She muttered with a voice only she could hear.
