Chapter 172 Heading To The Ruins!

For a while, Nathan keeps on staring at the struggling Lester on the other side of the table.

Finally, Cardo couldn't watch Lester on the verge of dying anymore.

He gritted teeth and bit the bullet, "Boss, I beg you on his behalf, please forgive him for daring to threaten you."

"Please don't kill him, Boss!"

Cardo kneeled down on the ground, begging Nathan.

There was even a loud thud when he kneeled as his head hit the floor.

Nathan looked at Cardo kneeling on the ground, staring at him for a while.

After a few seconds, the sound of Lester gasping for his breath sounded.

Raising his head, Cardo saw Lester taking in deep breaths to catch some air.

Cardo heaved a sigh of relief.

Hurriedly, he turned to Nathan and started thanking him profusely and only got up after Nathan told him to.

Nathan, who remained seated all this time, kept looking at Lester and said, "Be thankful that my subordinate begged for your life, or else…"

Nathan did not finish his word and silently leaned his back on the chair and closed his eyes.

But the two were not idiots to not hear the meaning of his unfinished words.

Lester felt a chill down his spine as cold sweat covered his back.

'... Damn, I almost died!'

He looked at Nathan with a trace of fear in his eyes.

He really did not expect it.

Earlier, when Nathan appeared, he just considered him as a rich man and did not consider him as a threat or anything.

But now…

Lester didn't want to think about it any further and just continued gathering himself.

Cardo also seems to be thinking of some things and remains silent on the side.

On the other hand, Nathan was looking around him with a thoughtful expression on his face.

​ "Hmm, it really worked. Even though there was a loud commotion here just a minute ago, people did not seem to notice anything." He muttered while looking at the other customers on their own table.

He smiled, "I guess the usage of energy only has the imagination of oneself as its limit, huh."

All this time, the moment Nathan sat down on this table, he controlled the energy in his body and used it to form some sort of barrier using only his imagination.

The barrier blocks the gaze and stir the consciousness of those in the vicinity to stop them from looking over in their direction.

The barrier also helps block the sound waves from coming out, hence making for a great environment to have a private or secretive conversation.

It was still a vague skill that he still hasn't fully grasped yet.

Now seeing its result, Nathan was satisfied and his mood can't help but improve.

After surveying his surroundings, he turned his eyes back at the two in front of him.

When he looked at Lester, the man did not dare to meet his gaze and immediately bowed down.

Shaking his head, Nathan turned his attention to Cardo on the other side.

As if not noticing his situation, Nathan said, "So, Cardo, today is your first day on the job. I hope that you'll be able to guard my properties well, hah."

Hearing Nathan's words, Cardo seems to have finally recovered and replied, "Don't worry, Boss! I will do my best!"

Nathan nodded, looking at the time, he said that he had to go now.

He stood up, and before leaving, he took one last look at Lester and said to Cardo, "As for this man, I'll leave it up to you if you want to let him work with you or not."

After saying that, Nathan stopped paying attention to them and left the cafe without looking back.

Staring at the car's image that slowly disappeared into the horizon, Cardo also stood up from his seat and was about to leave the cafe.

But suddenly, Lester grabbed his hand and said, "Manong, please wait a moment, I want to explain some things to you."

There was a hint of begging in his tone.

The truth is, it was not just Cardo who treated them as his own family, the same also applies to Lester's family, they already treat Cardo as their own!

That is why, seeing how cold Cardo is acting right now, Lester can't bear it and asks for some of Cardo's time.

Cardo stopped, he looked at Lester and stared at him for a few seconds before sighing.

"Hais, fine, I'll listen to your explanation. But let's not talk here, follow me."

After hearing Cardo agree, Lester immediately heaved a sigh of relief before hurriedly following out of the cafe.

…

On the highway.

After leaving the cafe, Nathan immediately started driving towards his next destination for today.

Barretto Beach, Unano Island.

Today, Nathan plans to head back towards the Threat Prison and follow the path he saw on the map from the control room.

And see as to where this path will leads him to.

The only thing that he is sure of in this is that, at the end of the path, he will arrive at the center of the Earth.

While driving his car, Nathan also notified Irish that he will be going to the ruins since the ruins were already under the name of her family.

Once she heard that he will be going inside the ruins again, Irish was surprised.

Immediately, she wanted to go in with him but Nathan told her, "I can't bring you with me. Once I'm in there, I won't have the time to protect you."

After hearing that, Irish was depressed but still listened to Nathan and did not insist on tagging along.

Coincidentally, Runa was also visiting Irish at the time that Nathan called but unlike Irish, she immediately gave up after Nathan said no.

After a few more trivial talks, Nathan hung up the call and stepped harder on the accelerator, making his car shoot forward faster than before!

'I will increase my strength this time now matter what!'
