Chapter 77 - Julia's Gift

Standing in front of the building, Nathan said, "So… A market, huh."

That's right, the other building in the space is what is called a market.

Nathan did not even need to scan it to know since there was a sign hanging on top of the establishment written in big words, [MARKET!].

"This would have also been a pretty good establishment." He said, then he suddenly became dejected and continued, "If only I had that Null Energy Stone."

That's right, just like the food processing building, this market building also has a need for a Null Energy Stone that Nathan doesn't know about.

For the market's function, the scan only 'told' Nathan that he will be able to buy and sell things through this building.

As for its specifics, Nathan has to use it to learn it by himself.

Sighing, Nathan dejectedly turned around.

"Hais… why did I come here for… It feels like a delicious piece of meat is in front of me but I can't even take a bite at it." Nathan felt frustrated but he can't do anything about it.

In the end, he just laid his body on the grassy ground and looked up into the sky.

This space, from the beginning to now, Nathan still hasn't fully discovered all it's secrets.

It has a blue sky, fresh wind, sun, etc.

As for how that can all appear inside this dimensional space? Nathan doesn't have a clue.

Especially that sun.

Since there's a sun, does that mean that the dimensional space includes the outer space?

Questions like that are left unanswered for now as Nathan doesn't have a way to know.

….

After dazing for a while, just staring at the sky.

Nathan got up and patted his clothes off the dust and dirt that could have stuck with him.

Glancing at Natura who's been looking at him all this time, Nathan said, "I'll be going out now, Natura. Take care of the space."

Staring for a long time, Natura nodded her head, "Oum, okay, Master!"

Still feeling dejected, Nathan left the dimensional space.

Left alone, Natura stood there gazing at where Nathan was standing before he left.

With a sigh, she said, "Hais… Master is really such a capable person. To even be able to transform a normal lake into something as precious as Eternal Moonlight Lake…"

…

Outside the space, in the living room of the Fernandez Residence.

Nathan leaned his body on the sofa as he let out a sigh.

"Sigh, Ahhh~ those buildings are such a waste."

Remaining like that for a while, Nathan closed his eyes and planned to just sleep until the system is done with the optimization.

*Ding~ Dong~*

But at this time, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Sighing tiredly, Nathan stood up lethargically and walked to the door.

Opening the door, a man wearing a red shirt with delivery written on it stood on the other side of the door.

Since he was wearing a mask and a cap, Nathan can't really see his appearance but he did not care about that.

Seeing the door open, the delivery man immediately greeted Nathan.

"Hello, sir. Good morning! Are you Mr. Nathaniel Fernandez?"

"Ah, yes, good morning. How may I help you?"

The delivery man took out a small box and presented it to Nathan saying, "There is a delivery for you, sir."

Hearing that, Nathan was surprised, "Eh? I did not order anything though?"

Then as if the delivery man remembered something, he said, "Ah! Sorry, sir, I forgot to tell you. That package was from Miss Julia."

Nathan frowned as he thought if he knew anyone with the name Julia.

Then the image of the girl he save on the alley as well as the one he saw on the tv flashed in his mind.

"Ah!" Nathan reacted, "That Julia, huh. Okay then."

Stretching out his hand, Nathan picked up the package.

The delivery man did not immediately leave, he said, "Also, Miss Julia told me to pass you a message."

"A message?" Nathan raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, sir. She wanted to say that she'll be visiting you tomorrow to express her gratitude towards you for saving her when she was in peril."

Hearing that, a thoughtful look appeared on Nathan's face.

He nodded to the delivery man and said, "Okay, I got it. Thank you."

Without waiting for the delivery man to leave, Nathan stepped back inside the house and closed the door.

When he closed the door, Nathan immediately locked the door before heaving a sigh of relief.

Then all of a sudden, a fierce expression appeared on his face.

"Whoever sent you people here will not have a good time if you're planning something bad against me or my family."

Nathan is suddenly acting like this because earlier, he used by whim, he decided to use appraisal on that delivery man.

But to his surprise, an appraisal he never expected appeared before his eyes.

[Name: Natuy Mahal

Power Level: 4

Profession: Assassin

Status: Normal

Soul Talent: Love Bomb (Dormant)

Skill: Shadow Creep, Hidden Weapon, Disguise, etc.

Details: An old dying man that got another chance in life. A lackey recruited by the newly revived D@he37*#, member of the Illuminati Organization.]

…

Immediately after seeing that result, Nathan immediately wanted to punch him on the spot but resisted it and just entered the house.

Luckily, it seems like Natuy did not notice that he already knows him.

But then, a question suddenly appeared inside Nathan's head.

Frowning, he muttered, "From the appraisal, it says that the delivery man is a lackey of someone from the illuminati organization."

He paused, then continued, "But I didn't even have an intersection with that evil organization, why would I suddenly get into their eyes?"

Even after pondering for a long time, Nathan still can't think of a viable reason.

Shaking his head, he said, "Forget it. I have too much on my mind right now, I should take a rest first."

With the box in his hand, Nathan headed towards his room to take a nap.
