Chapter 84 - The Eyes In The Shadow

Nathan did not answer immediately, but there was a gloomy look on his face.

Then after a while, he said, "... I don't know. But there is a high possibility of it being just like what you said."

Hearing that, Natalie fell silent, she bit her lips with a sad expression.

Seeing that, Nathan thought for a while before changing his expression.

He reached out for her head and rubbed it with a gentle smile on his face.

"Don't worry about it. No one will get hurt this time."

Nathan can already think of what Natalie is thinking from the look on her face.

That time when he was shot by a gun, Nathan also saw the same look on Natalie's face.

It looks like that memory has become a trauma for Natalie.

And that fact, pained Nathan's heart.

Especially because he's the reason for it.

Now, what he can do is try to get rid of the thought in her head that he'll get hurt every time there's a bad guy.

Through his comfort, Nathan successfully eased Natalie's worries.

After she finished eating her lunch, just like what Nathan told her, she went back to her room with Issa and locked the door.

For Nathan, he sat on the sofa and planned to continue where he left off earlier before Ken came.

'Appraisal!'

….

As Nathan looked at the appraisal, the first thing he looked at was the details part.

He was surprised at how detailed this has become, now it even contains some of his life history in it.

But suddenly Nathan frowned, "Hmm, this is bad."

He realizes that a detailed appraisal will mean that, if some other person has the same appraisal skill as him, then that will mean they can get his information without him even knowing.

And that will have some grave consequences on his part.

Massaging his head, Nathan can already feel the headache coming.

"Hais…" he sighed, "I wonder if there's a skill or even just an item that can conceal my information, hmm…"

"Wait, speaking of skills, I still have an upgrade card on me. I should use it to strengthen my fighting skills."

Remembering about the last Skill Upgrade Card, Nathan decided to use it now.

But before he went to the Omnipotent Villager app, Nathan saw a notification at the top of his phone that he did not notice until now.

Taking a look at it, he realized that it was just the daily deposit from the cafe.

"Huh? Wait? Why is it more than what it's supposed to be?"

Nathan was confused that the amount of money that he got this time in his estimate was at least twice what he usually gets.

But his confusion did not last long.

"Oh, right! There was still that buff, huh. I did not expect that it would also apply to the cafe's profit."

At this news, Nathan felt quite happy that he even started humming a tune as he opened the Omnipotent Villager app.

Then like what he did before, he used the upgrade card without even taking it out from the storage.

Soon, Nathan felt that his muscles seemed to become more flexible and able to exert more power.

Clenching his fist, he felt the explosive power in him and his smile can't help become thicker.

After indulging his power for a few minutes, Nathan stopped and relaxed.

Looking at the time, it's already 1:30 in the afternoon.

With a curious face, he muttered,"Anyway, I wonder what time Julia is coming?"

Nathan is pretty worried about Julia's visit as it will entail many things.

But the most he can do is to wait and pray that nothing bad will happen.

So he sat there on the sofa, waiting for Julia's arrival with a tense atmosphere.

But as time continued ticking without any Julia showing up, Nathan started to relax.

*Yawn~*

Yawning, he got up from the sofa and after taking a look at the time, decided to take a walk outside to energize himself.

After he left the house, a pair of eyes hiding in the dark appeared, looking at the direction he disappeared to.

Next, it looked into their house, then through the shadows in the surroundings, it rushed towards it with astonishing speed!

Looking left and right, making sure there's no one, the eyes slowly entered inside through the slits on the door.

Once inside, it started going through every object placed in the living room as if it was searching for something.

After going through the whole living room, it seems to not have found the thing it's looking for

It paused for a bit before heading towards the kitchen, then the bathroom.

Still nothing, the look in the eyes obviously turned irritated.

Then, it looked up the stairs where there are rooms like Natalie's room.

In the shadows, it seems like the eyes can move however they want. Just like a fish in the water.

Stopping in front of the first door at the end of the stairs, which is also Natalie's room.

The pair of eyes have a thoughtful look at it for a second, then just like before, it entered the room through the slits visible.

Inside the room, it saw a messy scene full of scattered things on the ground.

But at this time, there is no one in this place.

Yes, Natalie, who was supposed to be in here as Nathan asked her, isn't here!

There can only be one place Natalie could have gone to, and that is inside her novel!

If Nathan knows about it, he would be once again mad at her… or maybe.
