Chapter 35 Second Encounter With The Criminals!

pαпdα-ňᴏνê|·сóМ Inside the house.

Natalie left, went to her room to grab the things she needed.

Meanwhile, Nathan turned his attention to the old television in the living room.

Getting near it, Nathan looked behind the television as if looking for something.

Seeing that the back is screwed tightly. Since it was an old television, it's back is pretty big unlike the flat screen tv this days.

"Wait, where did I put the screwdrivers again?"

Thinking for a while, Nathan took some time to remember such a basic thing.

It can't be helped, he doesn't use it that much plus, sometimes things just disappear for a while and appear somewhere else in this house.

Well, it's probably just his forgetful brain that's causing it.

Leaving the living room, he went to the kitchen and opened the drawer under the sink and saw what he was looking for.

With a screwdriver on hand, Nathan went back to the living room.

Unscrewing the back of the tv, Nathan was greeted by heavy dust bursting on his face.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Nathan hurriedly covered his face, especially his nose since he doesn't want his nose to be irritated.

After fanning the dust away, Nathan saw the thing he was looking for, hidden on the inside of this tv.

"Here it is!"

Nathan grabbed it and took it into his hand.

It's actually a rubik's cube.

However, this rubik's cube doesn't look like the normal rubik's cube for reasons that it's colors are different.

Unlike the ordinary Rubik's cube, the cube on Nathan's hand has a mix of black, white, red, and blue.

That's right, it only has four colors.

The other 2 sides don't have any color.

This 'broken' cube was given by Nathan's parents as a gift on his 10th birthday.

It was also the only gift that he still has all this time.

"It's been a long time since I last saw this. I almost forgot that I still have a toy…" he said, with a melancholic smile.

This cube was given to him by his parents for him to play with, but being a kid who's not into this kind of toy's back then, he doesn't usually touch it.

That is one of the reasons why it is still intact till now.

It was hidden because when his parents died, the cube always makes him remember them and end up crying.

Thinking he should throw it away, he was reluctant to do so.

In the end, he decided to just hide it somewhere he won't see, which is inside the tv.

As Nathan was looking at his old cube, Natalie also came out of her room with a few books in her hands.

At the top of those books, Nathan saw a familiar book.

"Is that the Illuminati book?"

Nathan raised an eyebrow,

Natalie looked at Nathan and nodded, "Uhuh, this is it. Why?"

"Is that the thing that you have to get here?"

Nodding, Natalie pointed to the other books on her hand, "Yeah, and also these books. I needed this for… school."

At the end of her words, Natalie lied.

The other books on her hands are actually not for school. They are her reference books for writing.

Natalie still hasn't told Nathan about her surprise.

Her being a writer is still a secret to Nathan, that is why she doesn't want to tell him anything about her being one.

Hurriedly shifting the topic, Natalie asked, "How about you, did you get the thing that you came here to get?"please visit panda-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m

Nathan nodded and showed the cube.

Seeing that they got what they came for, the two went out and locked the door.

Standing on the side of the road, the two waited for a tricycle drive by.

But after waiting for tens of minutes, there was still no tricycle or even jeep, in short, there's no way to commute!

Nathan frowns, "What is going on? Why is there no one driving by here?"

Natalie is also wondering about the same thing.

Tired of waiting, the two decided to go walk towards the nearest gathering place for tricycle drivers.

"Let's go, we've been waiting here for so long."

Nathan took the lead and started walking with his hands in his pocket.

Meanwhile, Natalie's face is all scrunched up, feeling like her arms are aching from carrying the books.

Since the books were quite thick, it's weights were also pretty heavy. Carrying a few of them probably has a weight of around a few kilograms or more.

Enduring the pain, Natalie followed Nathan, albeit a lot slower.

Noticing that Natalie was being slow, Nathan looked at her.

After that, he approached her and took the books from her.

"You should have just asked me to carry it if it's too heavy for you."

When he took it from her, Nathan also felt how heavy these books actually are and raised an eyebrow.

But after pausing for a second, Nathan continued walking.

With the weights out of her hands Natalie finally got the chance to loosen her aching muscles.

"Thanks, brother! It was so, ouch!"

While saying her thanks, Natalie stretched her arms too much causing her to feel pain.

Nathan just laughed at her without even looking back.

Just like that, the two walked while talking about things and laughing from jokes.

But as they were minding their own business, they heard a voice coming from behind them.

"Boy, I did not expect that I'll see you again. It really took me so long to finally find you."

The voice was rough and sounded unpleasant to hear.

When Nathan heard that, he frowned.

He felt like that voice was somewhat familiar but he can't remember.

'Just whose voice sounds this ugly for me to remember it?'

While thinking of that, he turned around and saw a group of dozens of people, staring at him with unkind eyes.

'So it's him!'

When Nathan saw the one leading those people, he immediately remembered the owner of that voice.

'It's the criminal from before!'

Nathan was stunned.

He never expected that he'll be seeing the guy from the alley again when he was doing mission before.

Natalie at the side nervously came to his side, she shakingly whispered, "B-brother..."

Hearing Natalie's shaking voice, Nathan recovered.

Trying to keep his calm, he patted Natalie's head.

"Don't worry, this brother of yours is here."
