Nathan read documents at the control room all morning and only stopped when his stomach started grumbling.
*Gurgle!*
Rubbing his stomach, Nathan checked the time and saw that it was already lunch time.
Sighing, he said, "I've been looking for clues all this morning but I still haven't found any clues for the whereabouts of the Naeco People."
Shaking his head, he got up from his seat, leaving the control room, saying, "Well, I should go eat something first. I won't be able to work properly if I remain hungry."
Nathan walked down the stairs at a faster pace since he's already feeling hungry and headed out of the camp.
When he passed by Mook, he said his goodbye before leaving.
…
At the foot of Mt.Tralala.
When Nathan got here, he immediately drove his car away in the direction of the city center.
He did not notice that someone was watching his movements not far away.
As he left, the man took out his phone and dialed someone.
After ringing twice, the call was answered.
A rough voice came from the other end of the phone asking,
"What's it?"
The man immediately started talking, "Big Bro Burnok, the target has already left. From the direction he was heading to, it seems like he's heading towards the city center."
Burnok was silent for a while before saying, "Hmm, good work. You can go back now."
The man sighed in relief, "Thank you, big brother."
Hanging up the phone, Burnok got up from his seat and looked out the window.
Staring in the direction of the city center, he muttered, "My life is so hard."
…
At the City Center.
Nathan looked for a decent restaurant to eat at.
After finding one, Nathan ordered a lot of food and ate unhurriedly.
Once he was done eating, he just sat there as he pondered about some things he had to do.
"Looking for the whereabouts of the Naeco People might take quite some time so I should just continue searching without stopping."
"What I should look out for is the Illuminati." As he said that, his eyes sharpened.
After learning more about the hideous things that the Illuminati did to an alien to become what's known as threat #13, Nathan can't help but become infuriated as well as fearful.
"With lunatics like them roaming around like this, I will have to be scared for my life every time I go out." He said,
"I should also take some precautions. Being aware of everything around me is a first step to that."
Saying that, Nathan took out his phone and opened his storage.
Inside it, Nathan immediately set his eyes on the Skill Upgrade Card x3.
With a smirk, he said, "Upgrading my skill would be a good step towards that."
Saying that, he pondered what skill he should upgrade.
With his hand on his chin, he said, "Since what I want right now is to become aware of things around me, appraisal should take priority, I guess?"
Nathan nodded his and thought that it was a good idea.
Appraisal lets him see information about people and items that might bring him very understanding of them.
A good example would be the delivery man just yesterday. If Nathan doesn't have an appraisal skill, he would still be clueless that person was actually an assassin.
ραпdα Йᴏνê|(сòm) Additionally, he would not know that he was already within the Illuminati's radar if he didn't have an appraisal.
Because of that, he decided to focus on appraisal for now as it will be helpful to understand your opponent before the fight to be prepared for what might come.
Having come to a decision, Nathan did not hesitate and used the Skill Upgrade Card on appraisal immediately.
Without having to take out the Skill Upgrade Card, Nathan just used it while still inside the storage.
[Use Skill Upgrade Card?]
[Yes] [No]
….
Pressing the [Yes] button without hesitation, Nathan felt something inside him became stronger.
He is positive that it was the Appraisal having upgraded to the next level.
Checking it by using appraisal on himself, Nathan confirmed that his appraisal has indeed gone up from C to B!
Seeing that, Nathan smiled, "Having my skill upgraded will always feel great for me."
"I should upgrade it one more time."
Using another Upgrade Card, Nathan felt the same comfort as before but this time it was stronger.
A while later, the feeling subsided and he let out a sigh of comfort.
"Phew~"
Using Appraisal on himself, Nathan saw a wide variety of new information about himself.
But Nathan was not able to fully check his appraisal because of the voice that sounded behind him.
"Nathan?"
Hurriedly closing the appraisal window, Nathan turned to look behind him to see who's calling for him.
"Ken?"
He was surprised to see Ken, who was part of the hiking club as well as Irish's friend.
Ken nodded as a greeting, "Yo, did not expect to see you here."
He took a seat on the same table as Nathan only to look at him and asked, "You don't mind if I sit here, right?"
Nathan chuckled, finding Ken's personality a bit funny.
To respond to his question, Nathan said, "Sure, don't mind."
"Thanks."
While eating, Ken looks at Nathan, he asks, "By the way, what are you doing in life?"
Caught off guard by that question, Nathan doesn't know how to reply immediately.
Then when he recovered, he smiled lightly, saying, "Well, for one, I am an owner of a cafe, I guess?"
Ken seems to not have expected that answer from Nathan.
He said, "Really? Tell me about it, I might be able to help out your business if needed."
Hearing that, Nathan did not take it to heart, he asked back the same question to Ken, "How about you? What are you doing in life?"
He remained silent for a few seconds, before wiping his mouth with a napkin and replied, "Well, first I should introduce myself."
"My name is Kenneth Luste—"
"Young Master!"
