Grind!

A few minutes later, two men lie on the ground, beaten black and blue.

Nathan dusted his hands as he looked at what he did.

For some reason, now that he looks at how heavy he was with beating them, he somehow feels a little guilty.

"Was I too cruel with them?" he asked himself,

But in the end, he shook his head, "No, they are the one in the wrong here! If they did not do bad things like this, this wouldn't happen to them!"

Nathan justified himself and suppressed the guilty feeling from earlier.

Then he turned to look at the girl who's been silent all this time.

He was about to walk to her but suddenly stopped.

It was because he saw it…

Nathan saw in the eyes of that girl the fear that she held for him.

And that made him stop on his tracks.

He looked at his hands and it was smeared by blood from those two thugs.

Nathan took a glance again at them, who are now unconscious, and decided to do the least he could.

He took out his mobile phone and dialed for the ambulance.

"Hello, this is 108, what is your emergency?"

Nathan heard the call connected, "It's like this, I am now in an alley and two…"

He proceeded to tell about the two thugs.

Then he took a look at the girl at the side, he thought about it before adding her to his statement.

After hanging up the phone, Nathan spoke to the girl.

"I already called an ambulance. You should wait here for them to come."

After saying that, he left the alley without looking back.

The girl saw the figure of Nathan leaving, then in a small voice she said,

"Thank you!"

Before tears slowly fell from her eyes.

…

After walking for a while, Nathan arrived back at his house.

He already forgets about the episode from earlier.

For him, what he did is right. Even if it was cruel, he just did it because those thugs are evil.

If they are the stronger one at that time, surely they will not let him go.

He might even die there at that time if that was the case!

Anyway, Nathan just put that thing at the back of his head and stopped thinking about it.

Nathan opened the door and went inside the house.

The lights are already off, and it seems like Natalie already went to sleep.

Nathan yawns, and mutters, "Finally back home."

He dropped all those that he bought on the table at the kitchen and took a glass of water.

"I'm so tired, hays… That pill already took much of my energy plus beating those two fools, I really want to just get a rest now."

Saying that, Nathan felt like his eyes were about to give up any minute now, so he went and brushed his teeth and washed his face before going to the couch.

As he lies there, he stares at the ceiling looking at the woods on the roofs that were being eaten by the termites.

He sighs, "I really need to find a good house for me and Natalie."

After putting that on his mind to make sure that he won't forget it, Nathan closed his eyes and went into the dream land.

In his dream, he became the richest man in the world, even buying the planets in the solar system.

…

The next morning.

Nathan woke up early just like usual and prepared for breakfast.

After he is done with all the chores, he opens up the system interface.

Looking at this screen, Nathan showed a smile.

"I will grind some money today to fund the house."

Nathan already has a plan for his whole day this time.

Today, he will spend all his time here in the house tapping on his phone to make as much money as possible so that he will have more choices when the time to buy a house comes.

He has also looked up a few houses nearby on the internet and already saw one or two that he took fancy on.

Some apartments that he saw looked very good, the scenery around those are quite acceptable and much much better than here, where they are currently living in.

Nathan also took notice of the locations, since the school year is about to start, he specially looked up those that are near the schools.

So overall, all the houses that he saw are very much aligned to his preference.

"Since today will be just a day for grinding some money, I will just eat some of those foods that I bought last night for lunch to save time."

Nathan felt really excited with this grind for some reason.

That is because he will finally be able to leave this tattered house and live comfortably after the grind.

"But before I start the plan for today…"

Nathan took a glance at the level of the system and said, "I should raise my level first so that I will be able to get more money!"

Once he decided to do that, Nathan immediately took action.

He taps the plus sign beside the level.

"Oooh, 3 pesos per tap!"

"With my current tapping speed of two tap per second, I will be able to make 360 pesos in one minute, 360 multiplied by 60 and that is already more than 20 thousand!"

Seeing what he is capable of in just an hour made the blood in Nathan start surging.

"But that is not the end. I still have enough to raise my level one more time."

Nathan tapped the button again and the system raised his level.

Seeing the result, made Nathan smile widely!
