Bella slowly opened her eyes and saw nothing.
She looked at Nathan and asked, "You said someone was coming, where is he?"
Nathan just pointed at the food tray placed on the ground without saying anything.
Bella naturally understood.
Since it will be troublesome if they continue staying here, Nathan told Bella that it was time for them to leave.
To which she is more than happy to do so.
Just like that, Nathan controlled the drone again as he and Bella moved slowly and hid themselves whenever someone was about to come until they finally got out of the cave.
After finally getting out of the cave for the first time since she was captured, Bella can't help but close her eyes and feel the wind brushing past her.
Seeing the sun and the blue sky, she felt a sense of 'freedom'.
Nathan interrupted her reverie and said, "Let's hurry up, I still need to get back home before dinner."
Without waiting for Bella, he started walking down the path he took to get up the mountain earlier.
"Ah! Wait for me!"
Bellas was shocked to see that Nathan doesn't even really care about her for him to walk away directly.
Not long after the two came down from the mountain, a commotion started inside the cave.
*BANG!*
"What did you say!?"
At this time, at the innermost part of the cave where the strongest combat power in this place usually gathers, a bald headed man was fuming with madness while looking at the shivering cultists in front of him.
He slammed the table in front of him, breaking it to countless pieces.
At this time, another strong person with a buff body interjected.
"Moris, calm yourself down. We have to understand the situation first."
Instead of calming down, Moris, the bald head, became angrier.
He looked at the buff guy and loudly said, "How am I supposed to calm down when the sacrifice that our 'Lord Demon' chose has escaped!? Tell me Kura!"
Hearing that, Kura fell silent.
In the end, he just sighed and took a seat on the side.
The other strong men are also like him, silent.
In this cave, Moris is the strongest person and so he has a lot more say in things.
That is why, even though Moris is acting like that, no one is able to do a thing but watch and sit on the sidelines.
After a while, Morris seems to have recovered some of rationality and calmed down.
Looking at the cultists kneeling on the ground, he ordered, "You, tell everyone to gather within 30 minutes. Anyone who's late will be killed.
"We will start a search for the sacrifice that escaped!"
"Y-yes, Sir Moris!" Shivering, the cultists replied.
He bowed to Moris deeply before running out in fear.
Then Moris looked at the ticking clock on the wall and muttered, "I just hope we can recover the sacrifice on time. Or else, we might become the sacrifice itself…"
….
Nathan and Bella arrived at the mall where Nathan left his car.
Along the way, people are staring at them because of how dirty Bella looks.
Because of that, Nathan decided to buy some new clothes in the mall for her before coming back to the car.
"Change into this for now." He said as he gave her the clothes he bought.
He also gave a towel that he soaked in water at the mall and told her, "You can use this to wipe yourself up."
Bella also knows that her appearance right now is quite unsightly. Although wiping up a little won't clean her up, at least it will lessen the dirt on her.
That's why she gratefully accepted the clothes and went inside the car to change and clean herself up while Nathan waited outside controlling the drone.
When they left, he let the drone enter the cave again and let it stay hidden in the place where the strong men gathered so that he could observe their movements.
Just in time, he was able to see Moris crushing the table and was also able to hear his every word.
'Bella was directly chosen by the demon to become a sacrifice?'
A deep frown immediately appeared on his face when he heard those words.
pαпdα-ňᴏνê|·сóМ He has a hunch that this will not end as smoothly as he thought it would.
As he was thinking of such things, the door of the car opened and Bella came out.
"I'm done. Thank you." She politely said.
"That's good. Now it's time for us to go back."
He entered the car and sat on the driver seat while Bella sat on the backseat.
Without saying anything, Nathan started the car and drove away.
It seems that after finally being able to relax her tense nerves, Bella immediately fell asleep just as they left the city.
It was quite along the way, Nathan only focused on driving.
Just as they entered Olongapo City, the orange glow of the setting sun also showed itself.
Seeing that, Nathan sighed in relief.
"Phew~ it's great that I was able to come back on time."
He looked at the rear view mirror and saw that Bella is still comfortably sleeping.
"Now, I just have to send her to Old Sebas and everything will be done." He said.
Stepping on the accelerator, he sped up his pace to get this done faster.
Not long after, they arrived at the rundown bar of Old Sebas and Nathan saw him standing outside.
He already notified him through a text message beforehand that is why he knew that they were coming.
As soon as Nathan came down from the car, Old Sebas hurriedly ran toward him.
"Nathan, is what you said true!?" He said, full of emotion in his voice.
Opening the door of the backseat, Nathan did not even have to say anything and Old Sebas immediately became tearful when he saw his daughter peacefully sleeping in the car.
"Sob… My daughter… sob… it's you, you're finally here…" he tried to wipe the tears off his eyes but it was to no avail as more and more tears poured out.
Nathan watched it for a while without saying anything, then he walked away to let him have his time with his daughter.
