Chapter 134 A Bad Omen

10 minutes has passed and Bella is still not done with the list of benefits for Nathan.

Getting tired of listening to her, Nathan hurriedly stopped her, "Stop, stop! Stop or else I won't cooperate with you."

The moment those words came out of Nathan's mouth, Bella who was talking non stop immediately shut her mouth.

She looked at Nathan, blinking her eyes innocently, acting like a good kid.

Seeing her like this, Nathan sighed helplessly, "Well, I will think about it for now. You can expect an answer within this week so don't worry."

"Yey!" Bella cheered after hearing his reply.

Although this is not a positive one, at least he will give it some thought, meaning there is a possibility.

Seeing her so happy just because of his vague reply, Nathan doesn't know how to react.

Old Sebas, who's been watching all this time, approached him with an apologetic face and said, "I hope you won't think of my daughter wrongly. She is just like that whenever she sees a business opportunity appear in front of her."

He stares at his daughter with eyes that are full of fatherly affection.

"She was just like her mother." He muttered silently,

Nathan heard his mutterings but he chose to ignore it.

"Don't worry, Old Sebas. She did nothing wrong anyway, why would I think of her badly." He said with a grin.

Old Sebas chuckled, "Haha, right. I'm just too worried that this daughter of mine offended you by asking you such private questions."

"No offense taken."

After that conversation, they stayed there for a while before finally deciding to leave.

Just as they were about to get inside the car, Bella suddenly pointed at the sky, "What's that?"

Following her finger, Nathan saw that she was pointing at a circular disk-like object, floating in the sky.

From where they are standing, they can see this disk in the sky moving irregularly.

From time to time, a red blanket of light comes out at the center of it, seemingly scanning the seas in the distance.

This continued for 1 minute before that disk suddenly disappeared in the sky as if it was never there to begin with.

"What the hell was that?" Bella asked while wiping the sweat on her forehead.

Frowning, Nathan said, "I also don't know what that is."

'But my instinct is telling me that it is not a good thing.'

The latter part of his words, Nathan decided to just keep it to himself so as to not cause unnecessary panic in the heart of this father and daughter.

But Nathan took note of this event in his heart and decided to investigate it if he had the time.

Setting this small episode aside, the three decided to go back home now.

Old Sebas first dropped Nathan to his villa and before he left, Old Sebas said, "Thank you for your time today, Nathan."

Then drove away.

Watching them until the car is not visible anymore, Nathan headed inside the house.

"Brother!"

"Brother Nathan!"

As he went through the door, he was welcomed by Natalie, Bruce, and Felicia with big smiles on their faces.

"Oh, you three are still up." He said, smiling back at them.

At this time, it is already 10 PM and is supposed to be past bedtime for the kids.

Showing a pitiful look, Natalie said, "But I can't sleep when you're still outside, Brother."

*Pak!*

Nathan flicked her forehead, as he knew that this was just a lie.

"What do you mean you can't sleep while I'm outside, I can still remember that you even snored loudly back then whenever I had to go home late."

Seeing that she was caught, Natalie smiled embarrassedly.

Nathan shook his head helplessly.

Then he raised the plastic bag in his hand, showing it to the three.

This is something that he bought as they were heading home a while ago in case these three are hungry when he arrives home.

"Well, since you guys are still awake, then do you all want to eat?" He asked.

Seeing that, Natalie immediately cheered.

But suddenly, she paused, her gaze turned to Bruce and Felicia and tilted her head.

"Why aren't you guys celebrating with me?" She curiously asked.

"Eh? We can also celebrate?" Bruce suddenly said with pure innocence.

Natalie became speechless after hearing that question.

She turned her gaze between Nathan and Bruce back and forth a few times as if wanting to ask something.

But in the end, she just sighed.

"Well, whatever I guess." She said, "Anyway, you two kids can just act like what real kids should be acting like while you're here."

She gently grabbed Bruce's and Felicia's small hands.

"C'mon, let's leave brother here and run to the kitchen first!"

Saying that, she dragged the two with a smile on her face.

And from the look of the two kids, it doesn't seem like they hate it either so Nathan just smiled at this and did not say anything.

He unhurriedly followed them into the dining area where they were already sitting, waiting for him to place the food.

Once everything was prepared, they did a simple prayer before wolfing down the food brought by Nathan.

Watching them, Nathan smiled warmly.

He did not stay there to watch them eat, but instead went to the living room and relaxed his body on the sofa.

Turning on the TV, Nathan supported his head with his hand as he lay on the sofa sideways.

At this time, breaking news suddenly flashed on the TV screen.

[Breaking News!

Another victim of the serial muder case that's been going around the city was found dead. The body was found by the police in the alleyways where usually no one goes. This is already the 13th victim of the murder cases in just under a month…]

…

Watching news, Nathan saw the said victim's photo on the TV and was surprised.

It was because this person is someone that he has seen in person just a few hours ago in the jeep.

It was the unassuming looking young man from earlier.

After realizing this, a grave look appeared on Nathan's face.

"This could mean that the murderer might just be roaming around nearby…"
