BXBX NOVEL Chapter 167 Not Illegal!
Nathan and Cardo left the cafe after they finished eating their orders.
When Nathan entered his car, he saw that Cardo did not get in and just stood outside while looking at him.
He can't help but get a deja vu after seeing that.
The two siblings at home were also like that when Nathan first met them.
Shaking his head, Nathan lowered the window and said, "Hey, get in. We're going to the mall."
Cardo hesitated for a moment, but seeing Nathan staring, waiting for him, he immediately got in and sat in the passenger seat.
Stepping on the accelerator, Nathan drove away from the cafe, heading towards a familiar car dealership, the one he bought his Ferrari yesterday.
…
Just a couple minutes later.
Nathan parked the car outside the car dealership and headed inside the establishment with Cardo following behind him.
When they entered, someone immediately approached them.
"Sir Nathan, I'm happy to see you again."
It was the man that delivered the Ferrari this morning.
The moment he saw the Ferrari parking outside, he immediately recognized it as the one he delivered earlier.
Thinking that a problem has occurred with it, he got worried so he immediately approached Nathan when they got inside.
To his relief, Nathan denied his thoughts.
After Nathan told his purpose for coming again today, the man immediately acted as a guide and politely introduced cars as they walked.
…
20 minutes later.
Nathan and Cardo left the car dealership after they finished choosing a suitable car for Cardo to drive.
In the end, they chose a Toyota Vios that costs 1 million pesos.
Originally, Nathan wanted to buy something more expensive one to also gain some decent experience points.
But after thinking of Cardo's attitude regarding buying a car for him to drive, Nathan decided to limit the budget at 1 million.
That's why they chose Toyota Vios.
Anyway, it was a decent one and Nathan doesn't really care about it.
…
Inside the car, without looking away from the road, Nathan said, "So, Cardo, now that we're done picking a car for you, I will bring you to the mountain that you will be guarding from now on."
Cardo nodded, "Okay, Boss!"
Next, Nathan stepped harder on the accelerator, making the car roar louder, moving at a fast speed.
Not long after, arrived at the foot of the mountain, just a few hours after he left.
Just like before, Mr. Jerry approached Nathan again.
Seeing someone beside Nathan, Mr. Jerry introduced himself to which Cardo also introduced himself as the one who'll be guarding this mountain from now on.
After some small talk, Nathan excused himself, saying that he still had to teach some things to Cardo at the mountain.
When they started climbing up Mount Tralala, Nathan told Cardo some information about the mountain.
Maybe it's because he's already old and has been a drunkard for a long time. Cardo was sweating badly, panting so hard that he seemed to be going to collapse at any moment.
Nathan silently took note of that and decided to give Cardo a Null Fruit before they separate ways later.
Finally, when they arrived at the forest near the pond that leads to the camp, Nathan signalled for Cardo to stop.
With a serious look on his face, Nathan stared at Cardo and said, "Cardo, remember, I told you that this job includes some level of confidentiality, right?"
Cardo nodded seriously.
He knows that since Nathan started talking about confidentiality, he is about to tell him some things that are related to it.
So he listened carefully, afraid that he would miss out a word from Nathan's mouth.
Nathan pointed at the 'forest' and said,
"The thing that needs you to not say anything is this forest. I won't tell you what exactly is the thing that needs confidentiality for now.
"All you have to keep in mind is that, do not let anyone enter this forest no matter what happens, understand?"
Nathan stared intently at Cardo, waiting for him to answer.
Cardo remained silent for a moment.
When he finally opened his mouth, instead of immediately agreeing, he asked, "I just want to make sure, the thing that you're keeping confidential isn't anything illegal or morally incorrect, right?"
He stared back at Nathan, looking him directly in the eyes.
Hearing his question, Nathan nodded without hesitation.
"Of course, I would dare bring an ex policeman with me if the thing I'm doing is illegal, right?" Nathan said, letting out a light chuckle.
Cardo visibly heaved a sigh of relief after hearing his answer.
"Since that's the case, you don't have to worry, Boss. I will guard the mountain well!" He firmly said.
Nathan nodded, seemingly satisfied, "Good, in the future, I will be turning this place into a bustling business area, and people will be living here as well, that's what the construction down there is all about."
Enlightened, Cardo nodded in understanding.
After resting there for a while, the two continued climbing up the mountain.
By the time they reached the top, Cardo's clothes were already dripping wet with sweat and he was panting like a dog in a hot summer.
Taking cover under a tree, the two sat down, leaning against the tree.
The cool breeze up in the mountain was quite relaxing and they could almost feel the fatigue faintly disappearing.
"Hoo, this place really is the best." Nathan said,
"I should ask Mr. Jerry to construct a house for me here. One that will remain standing no matter what happens."
He loudly said his whimsical thoughts while looking at the view on the horizon.
Cardo just remained silent on the side, enjoying the time to rest, still catching his breath.
After a while, Nathan finally decided to go down.
The journey going down the mountain was easier so it did not take long for them to come back down even with the speed Cardo is taking.
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, without stopping, Nathan directly stepped inside his car with Cardo behind him.
Turning his eyes to Cardo on the passenger seat, Nathan said, "Well, that's it. Starting from tomorrow, I hope you will guard the mountain well."
