Chapter 106 - Spirit Deficiency

After he disposed of the bodies, Nathan left the space and came back to the office.

He used stealth again before leaving the office and heading to the lounge area where Joseph has been waiting for him for a long time.

Since it might attract people's attention if he suddenly appeared out of nowhere, Nathan decided to leave the cafe first and walked back to his car, entering it.

Once there, he can't help but start stretching muscles,

"Ugh~ that was exhausting, Haa…" he let out a deep breath as he leaned his back to the backseat and relaxed.

At the same time, he deactivated the effect of his soul talent.

Immediately, his body went back to normal, his vague disposition as well as the skills had disappeared as well.

As soon as he did that, Nathan felt his body seem to feel a little heavy.

"Did I consume a lot of Spirit in that time?" He thought,

To use skills, one needs to consume their Spirit to act similar to mana in games.

In truth, Spirit can be considered as many things.

Mental strength, energy, mana, intelligence, soul power, etc.

And as you level up your Spirit, your soul talent will also level up with it.

That is why, Spirit and Soul Talent will always be of the same tier unless there are some special circumstances.

In the duration that Nathan was transformed as a Ninja, it was consuming his spirit by every second additionally the use of skills further sped up the consumption of spirit.

Since it will naturally recover if you rest, Nathan doesn't have to worry about this.

While resting on his seat, Nathan took out his phone and dialed Joseph's number.

*Ring~... Click!*

"Hello, Boss?"

The phone only rang once before Joseph answered it.

"Joseph, come back here in the car, we're leaving now." Said Nathan.

Joseph seemed to be confused as he suddenly became silent.

When he recovered, he replied, "Okay, Boss. I'll be there in a second."

Then after a while, Nathan saw him coming out of the cafe while looking at his car with a frown.

Nathan lowered the car window and waved at Joseph who was surprised to see him sitting there.

Walking towards him, Joseph stood outside the car, besides the window Nathan brought down.

He was speechless.

Noticing that he is still not entering, Nathan can't help but say, "How long are you gonna stand there for? Get in already!"

Only then did he snap out of it and hurriedly get into the passenger seat.

"Wait, wait, wait."

But before he was even able to come in, Nathan stopped him.

"What's the matter, boss?" Asked Joseph.

Massaging his shoulders, he said, "Well, I kinda feel tired right now so you and drive for me. That's okay, right?"

Looking at him carefully, Joseph indeed saw some signs of fatigue from Nathan's face.

So, without any complaints, he agreed to it and Nathan went to the passenger seat and sat on it while Joseph became the driver.

At this time, Joseph has a lot of questions that he wants to ask and things he wants to know.

But in the end, he did not ask anything.

In his opinion, if Nathan wants to talk about it, he would probably already tell him what happened.

Seeing him resting on his seat with his eyes closed, Joseph did not dare bother him and just continued driving carefully.

A while later, the car finally stopped.

Feeling it, Nathan opened his eyes and looked around.

But seeing that they were not back at the Mountain's Fragrance Cafe, he frowned and turned his eyes to Joseph.

"I thought we're going to the cafe? What are we doing here?"

Right now, they are in front of an old looking bar in the middle of the city center.

Nathan knows of this place as he passed by it quite a few times when he's going here and there.

It was also something that puzzled him.

Why does an old and dilapidated establishment like this still stand in the city center, and right in the middle of it!

Joseph looked at him and said, "I want to introduce you to someone."

"Hmm?" Nathan looked at him with questioning eyes.

"Just follow me for now. I won't promise anything but I think this will be beneficial to you."

That's only what Joseph said before he stepped out of the car.

Although he doesn't understand why Joseph is not telling him who it is, Nathan still decided to follow him.

When they entered the bar, calm and soothing music sounded in their ears.

There's no one inside aside from the old man full of white hair and beard, wiping a wine glass behind the counter.

Joseph seemed familiar with the place and was not surprised to see no one in the bar.

Walking directly to the counter, he casually took a seat and greeted the old man.

"Old Sebas, how have you been?"

Sebas placed the newly wiped glass on a shelf carefully.

Then he looked at Joseph with an amicable smile, "Well, if it isn't Joseph. What a surprise to see you here after such a long time."

Joseph became silent after hearing his words.

Then he said, "... I'm sorry it took me such a long time to visit again even though the cafe was not that far from here. I'm just too embarrassed to come here again after what happened the last time…"

Sebas let out a helpless sigh, he patted Joseph on the shoulder and looked him in the eye.

"I told you to forget about it already, right? You don't have to keep thinking about it, it's not your fault."

After saying that, he turned his eyes at Nathan and smiled at him.

"Plus, aren't you going to introduce this fine young man to me?"

Then Joseph remembered Nathan.

Turning around, he saw him standing not far away looking at them.

"Uhm, Old Sebas, this here is my, Boss.. The new owner of the Mountain's Fragrance Cafe."
