Meanwhile, as Nathan is heading down at the center of Earth.
Nathan's villa.
Natalie is staring at the TV with a solemn look along with Bruce and Felicia.
On the tv screen, the terrorists attack was being broadcasted by news stations through a helicopter.
While obviously struggling because of the wind and the loud noise brought by the helicopter's propeller, the newscasters continued to broadcast,
[In your TV screens, you will see the group of terrorists occupying the city center. The terrorists group has been identified as the notorious Yellow Demon Group.]
[The purpose of these terrorists for suddenly attacking the city center of Olongapo City is still unknown as of now.]
The camera showed the situation below.
Because of the distance, the scene was a little blurry but from here and there you will notice some bright red spots.
Most of it was censored by a mosaic so one can already imagine what those spots are.
One can't help but feel a chill seeing all this even through the TV screen.
Natalie hurriedly turned off the TV after seeing that the news is becoming too sensitive for kids.
Turning her eyes at the two kids, Natalie saw the obvious fear in the eyes of the two.
They were huddled, supporting each other, trying to ease the fear in their heart.
A memory of her childhood can't help but suddenly appear on Natalie's head as she watches the two.
A stormy night, the wind was strong as if to destroy everything in its way.
The roof sounded like it would fly away any second because of the wind.
At the corner of the room, Nathan and Natalie were crouching while covered in one thin blanket.
They were shivering not just from the cold, but also from fright.
'Brother, I'm scared…'
'D-Don't worry, I'm here. I'll protect you.' Said Nathan, trying his best to not look scared.
The young Natalie at that time knew that Nathan was scared, but for her at that time, he was the most reliable brother she could ever have.
…
Shaking her head, Natalie stopped thinking of the past and continued looking at the kids.
pαпdα-ňᴏνê|·сóМ With a slight smile on her lips, she thought, 'In the past, brother and I were also like them…'
Thinking of that, she approached the two and suddenly gently embraced them.
Feeling the warmth coming from Natalie, the siblings looked at her.
Bruce and Felicia looked at her with a surprised look, but after a few seconds, they let it be.
For them, they already consider Natalie and Nathan, their benefactor, as their family.
That's why for Natalie to hug them suddenly, they are just surprised.
After staying like for a few minutes, Natalie let go.
She looked at them and said, "You don't have to be scared. Brother will protect us. Even if he's not here, I can also protect you."
Feeling the sincerity in her words, the kids can't help but feel a wave of warmth in their heart.
Looking at Natalie straight in the eye, Bruce resolutely said, "I will also protect you, sisters!"
"M-Me too!"
Felicia also said.
Seeing that, Natalie chuckled and rubbed their hairs.
"That's good, that's good. Then it's a promise, okay?"
She held out her pinky finger and said, "Now, hook my fingers and promise."
The two kids hooked their pinky fingers without hesitation.
After that, they talked about some trivial things before Natalie got up and headed back into her room.
The two kids remained in the living room and continued watching TV that's now on a cartoon program.
…
Natalie's room.
Natalie is sitting in front of her study table while looking intently at an old, tattered notebook.
"The development of my novel is progressing well."
This notebook is where Natalie makes the outline for her novels right from the beginning.
She's been using it frequently, which is why it looks so old now.
Not bothered by that, Natalie continued studying the outline of her novels.
After a few minutes, she closed the notebook and let out a sigh.
"Sigh~ it'll take a few more months before I finish the book about money."
She got up from her seat, walked to the side of her bed, and dove into the soft mattress.
Natalie rolled all over the bed for a few minutes before stopping and stared at the ceiling.
"Since I need to gather Emotional Energy to turn my novels into reality, I can't rush things."
Sighing for the second time, a firm look slowly appeared on Natalie's eyes.
"It doesn't matter. The important thing is that I'm improving and someday, I'll surely be of help to brother!"
Feeling motivated, Natalie got up from her bed, picked up her phone, and started writing some drafts for her novel.
…
Back to Nathan.
After getting rid of the skeletons, Nathan proceeded to walk down the stairs that appeared at the end of the room.
This time, to get down faster, Nathan decided to run at full speed.
Because of that, not even a minute passed when he arrived in another wide, spacious room.
"Hoh~ another one, huh." He said, "But it seems like there's nothing here."
The room that Nathan arrived at this time was empty unlike the previous one.
With a curious look, he said, "Are there no monsters this time?"
As if on cue, the ground started shaking and suddenly, multiple hands appeared on the ground.
Those hands looked damaged.
Skin peeling out from the fibers of the muscles, flesh missing which results in the slightly dark bones to show itself to the world.
Besides that, the thing that stands out the most from those hands are their smell.
They smelled rotten and looked rotten!
Looking at this scene, Nathan was surprised as he felt a bit of familiarity at this scenario.
"This… are the monsters zombies this time?" He muttered with a weird look.
As if to prove that his guess was right, the hands at this time started pulling their bodies out of the earth.
"Brains…!"
