Chapter 95 - The Culprit?

Stepping out of his car, Nathan saw Joseph waiting for him in front of the cafe.

"Boss!" Greeted Joseph with a smile.

Nathan walks towards him, and nods his head.

"Joseph, is what you told me on the phone real?" asked Nathan, making sure that the information is true.

"Yes, Boss!" Said Joseph, "Let's go inside first and talk with coffee."

Nathan agreed.

The two of them entered the cafe and found an inconspicuous seat to sit down on.

After giving their orders to the respectful employee, Nathan's face became serious as he looked at Joseph.

"So, care to tell how you find the culprit?" He said,

Joseph took out a piece of folded paper from inside his pocket and slid it on the table towards Nathan.

Puzzled, Nathan looks at Joseph with a questioning look, who then urges him to look at it.

Picking it up, he opened it and saw a sketch of an old rugged looking man drawn on it.

Nathan immediately thought of who that man was.

While still gazing at the sketch, Nathan said, "Is this the one who gave you that bell?"

Joseph crossed his arms, nodding his head, he said, "Indeed, that is the man, Boss.

"I went to a composite artist to get a sketch of that man then distributed it to our employees as well as to some other people. Telling them that if they ever see him, immediately tell me.

He smirked, "And it all paid off after a week."

Nathan raises an eyebrow as he looks at him, waiting for him to continue.

Seeing that, Joseph stopped beating around the bushes.

He continued, "An employee of our cafe coincidentally saw that man walking around the plaza yesterday!"

"The employee immediately informed me through a call. He also took a picture to make sure."

Saying that, Joseph took out his phone, and showed a picture to Nathan.

"This is him,"

Nathan saw an old man with languid eyes, holding a bottle of beer in his hand.

Just the sight of that already made Nathan frown.

He stopped looking and turned his eyes back to Joseph, "Do you know where he is right now?"

Joseph nodded.

He sat properly and said, "Then we'll go there after we finish our coffee."

After saying that, he stopped thinking about it for now.

Their orders also came at this time so the two just enjoyed their coffee in silence.

….

After they finished, they left the cafe and went into their own cars.

With Joseph leading the way, the two drove towards the outskirts, where the culprit lives based on the information that they got.

It did not take long for them to arrived at the location.

Getting out of the car, Nathan saw the surroundings full of trash. Anywhere you look at, trash is what you'll see.

Almost instantly, his face scrunched up as an unbearable smell assaulted his nose.

Ever since his body was first enhanced, all his different senses also went through qualitative changes.

Now that he has more than hundreds of power of a normal human being, all of his senses are also became super powerful.

That is why, being in this place irritates his nose so much that the smell is already making him dizzy.

Joseph approached him and saw his face.

He was concerned and asked, "Are you okay, boss?"

"Yeah, don't worry, I'm alright." Nathan said, shaking his head, trying to stop minding the smell.

Joseph look at him for a while before turning back, saying, "Then let's go and see that evil man for ourselves."

Hatred was obvious from his words as he talks about the old man.

It was because he still can't forget that this man, repayed his kindness with evil. A curse that affected all the people inside the cafe.

Just that fact was already unacceptable for him.

Nathan did not mind it much and followed him.

The outskirts of the city is what most people might call, the slums.

The people that lives here are mostly the poor people.

As they walk, they saw malnourished kids that is almost just skin and bones, lots of pregnant woman with almost 50 percent of them being teens, suspicious looking people also lurks in this place, etc.

When those people saw the two of them wearing clean looks, good clothes and fair skins, their gaze lingered at them for a long time.

They avoided eye contact with anyone as much as possible.

It was to not get mixed up with them and avoid conflict.

A few minutes later, the sight of an old man sitting on a stool with a bottle of Emperador Brandy on his hand came into their view.

Anger visibly appeared on Joseph's face and he was about to go and confront the man at that moment.

But Nathan caught his elbows and stopped him.

Joseph turned around and looks at him with questioning eyes.

Shaking his head, Nathan whispered, "Wait for a while, I need to check something."

Joseph was confused, but since it was Nathan, his boss, speaking, he listened and stepped back.

Nathan looks at the old man and used appraisal on him.

Immediately, various informations appeared on his eyes.

….

Seeing the details shown on the appraisal, Nathan was surprised.

He would have never expected that the drunkard just a few meters away from him was actually a police officer before!

After the brief surprise, Nathan continued to look further down the details on the appraisal.

And not long after, he found what he was looking for.

Nathan snapped his fingers and said,

"Bingo!"
