Chapter 71 - Trying Out The 1st Effect!

Seeing the two, Nathan called them, "You two, come, let's eat."

He raised his hands, showing the foods he was holding.

As soon as they saw the food, Natalie and Issa's eyes immediately lit up.

They got up and followed Nathan into the dining room like good kids.

Placing the pandesal on the table, Nathan told them to wait as he cooked the pancit canton.

As he was putting water on a small pot, Nathan realized that this would be a good chance to try out the 1st effect of his soul talent.

Then, just like what he learned earlier, Nathan thought about being able to cook.

Suddenly, Nathan felt like his body and mind were transforming into a body that has countless years of experience in cooking.

Looking at the cooking tools around him, Natan felt so familiar with everything.

It was as if he finally came back to his home after being gone for a long time.

Seeing that Nathan just stood there, not doing anything, Natalie was confused and called him,

"Brother? What's the matter?"

Nathan snapped out of his trance and looked back at Natalie.

He smiled and waved his hands, "It's nothing, I was just thinking of something."

After that, Nathan started cooking.

Since Natalie was already feeling hungry, as well as him, Nathan just cooked the pancit canton plainly and put it on a plate.

But for some reason, even without anything changed in it's recipe, the pancit canton on that plate still seems to be more appetizing than usual.

Natalie wolfing it down immediately as soon as he placed it on the table was testament to this.

"Hmm! Brother, why does this pancit canton taste a whole better than before?" She girl asked,

Nathan just smiled nonchalantly even though he was feeling very excited in his heart.

He said smugly, "It's just natural that it will taste good. After all, it is me who cooked it!"

Natalie just nodded, saying, "Yes, yes, brother. You're the best, brother."

Nathan warmly smiled, he rubbed her head for a second before taking a seat.

Turning his head on the side, Issa, who Natalie seems to have forgotten, stares at the food Natalie is eating with a drool on its mouth.

Seeing it's appearance, Nathan chuckled and said, "Issa, why are you not eating yet?"

Picking up a pandesal and stuffing it with pancit canton, Nathan gave it to Issa who is looking at him hesitantly.

Seeing that expression, Nathan said, "Come, don't worry. Let's eat, you're already part of the family."

Issa hesitated a bit more before finally taking the food on Nathan's hand and started eating like it hasn't eaten anything for years!

Looking at the two enjoying the food, Nathan also started to eat.

When he took his first bite of the pancit canton, Nathan felt like he was transported into a new world with how good it tasted.

… wait, yeah, he was actually transported already to a new world…

Ignoring that thought, Nathan started to devour the food like a hungry beast.

Soon, there was no more food left on the table.

After eating, Natalie voluntarily cleaned up the plates and told Nathan that she'll wash the dishes.

This time, Nathan did not say no.

He went to the living room to sit down and relax for a while.

With nothing to do, Nathan turned on the tv for a while.

Changing the channel to watch a news program, Nathan chance upon the same news from yesterday about Illuminati Group.

Hearing its name, Nathan immediately frowned as he thought about the most well-known villain in the universe, Illuminati.

"This should not be related to that… right?" He said with a skeptical look.

But that was not the end, Nathan saw another piece of news that widened his eyes!

"What!? A leader of projects?"

Nathan was surprised when he saw the girl he saved before being shown on the tv as the leader of Illuminati's Philippines projects.

"I can't believe that the girl I saved before is now a leader." He said, "But she sure changed in such a short time.

"Although I don't really know her, cold and snobbish is not the attitude I felt from her at that time. It's almost like a different person inside that body."

Not really caring about those news, Nathan unhesitatingly changed the show into a cartoon channel.

…

Meanwhile, in an underground lair 5 kilometers away from Nathan's original house, a group of thugs are kneeling on the ground while facing a cold beauty sitting on the only chair around.

Leading the thugs in the front is someone Nathan is familiar with, Burnok!

'Sh*t! How did everything end up like this!?' he complained in his head.

Remembering what happened a few hours earlier,

A female beauty that he remembered as the one saved by the person he hated appeared outside their hideout.

She acted arrogantly with a cold look on her face, yelling, "All the peasants in this place, come out and kneel down to me!"

Which angered the members of the Black Bear Gang and they thought of punishing the girl and tried to bring her there.

In the end, they were beaten down until they weren't able to get up anymore.

And that beauty is the one in front of him.

The beauty crossed her legs while looking condescendingly at the kneeling thugs.

After remaining silent the whole time after beating up the bullies, she spoke, "Do any of you know whose book is the owner of this book?"

While remaining emotionless, she took out a book from out of nowhere.

It was the book that was thrown away by Nathan before, the book of illuminati!

When Burnok saw the book, he frowned.

"Hmm… that book feels a bit familiar. Where did you get it?" He closed his eyes a little.

Then when he opened his eyes after a few seconds, realization hit him, "Oh! I saw a book like that before! If you want to know, please remove this!"
