29 New Home (II)
"So I don't have to worry about your safety?" She continued as she let go of David's hand in am effort to make take the matter seriously.
"Yes, besides everything concerning him has already been captured and while this mountain may not look like it, it is a fortress" David said to convince her
"I still don't trust that, what about the government... you know our government can't be trusted"
Hearing her, David simply smiled. Like he had once said, Nigerians were a very careful people and now she was just told that the house once belonged to a drug lord.
Anyone would automatically become careful after hearing that but Nigerians would take that to s whole new level by double checking everything just to be absolutely sure that all was safe.
"Okay, you've made your point but I'm asking just to be sure" Fadila responded seeing David's expression as a soft laughter escaped her lips
"Now, can we go in?" David asked as he moved out the way to showcase the beautiful building behind him.
From the sparkle in her eyes at the sight of the house, he could easily tell that she was just as excited as him to check out the house.
The house may belong to him and he may have designed all in the house with some help from Nous but he was still excited to check out the house.
"Yes" she said with a smile as she finally gave in
"Great" David replied
"Ahh!" Fadila screamed as she was swept off her feet by David who proceeded to carry her into the house.
David saw this as means to test out his strength and surprisingly the girl didn't weigh much in his arms. It was as though he had picked up a small bucket of water rather than a full grown human.
It seems as though Nous's training regiment didn't focus on appearance rather it developed the core strength of the person. Basically it turned him into a construction worker rather than a bodybuilder.
The device slid out of the table until it was almost a meter tall. Looking at it now, David understood why Nous had said that it wouldn't stick out that much in the current era.
It looked just like a rather expensive TV and that was all. No one would immediately think that it is a Quantum device that allows them capture signals from possibly the entire universe.
"David, How much you buy this TV?" Fadila asked in a shocked but still serious tone
Hearing her, David already knew that a lecture was coming if he made up a price from the top of his head. He couldn't say anything cheap after all any company that can produce anything like this would definitely price it in the million rather than thousand.
So if he said any fitting price, Fadila would do what she was known for, Keeping him in check and begin a lecture on how it was a waste of money so...
"I don't know, I may have selected the design for the house but all this was done by Government contractors" David lied to save himself
"Oh!... then how much did you pay them for that"
"I already paid four hundred million naira, what else would they want?"
"Oh, that makes sense" Fadila said as he sat on one of couches which immediately sank in to accommodate her better
"Eh!?" She screamed in shock as she jumped up from the couch
Seeing her reaction, David too took a seat just to see what she was on about and just like her, he began sinking into the chair as he immediately felt a wave of relaxation fill him.
"Oh this is life" David commented as he relaxed into the chair even further
