"Ugh, haa… haa… haa…"

Nathan grunted in pain as he slowly sat down on the ground.

Natalie beside him is already crying, tightly covering her mouth to keep herself from letting out a sound that might attract the thugs outside.

They are currently hiding inside an alley that was not far from their original location since Nathan has been wounded.

Just earlier, the gangster Black Bear shot his gun recklessly and unfortunately Nathan was hit on his shoulder.

Enduring the pain, he gritted his teeth and ran away as fast as he could with Natalie on his tow.

When they finally lost the pursuit of those gangsters, they went to an alley, which they are in right now to hide while waiting for the gangsters to disappear.

"Woo… woo… wooo!"

Natalie keeps crying, worry and fear still visible from her face.

She looks at Nathan whose face is already twisted with pain as he holds onto his shoulder tightly, trying to stop the blood.

"Huhu, brother…"

Nathan turned his eyes at her and smiled with his pale lips.

"Shh, don't cry, Tal. Don't worry, have you forgotten that your brother isn't just any normal person? Come he- ack!"

Nathan consoled Natalie with his words, he stretched his hands out to pat her head but because of that, the pain on his shoulder intensified causing him to flinch.

"Brother!"

Natalie was about to approach him but he stopped her.

"Shh, brother is fine, relax."

Natalie stopped approaching. She sat down on the ground as well and cried silently.

Nathan felt sad seeing Natalie crying like that. He felt like his heart was being pierced as his nose started turning sour.

He held himself back and tried to keep his composure.

No longer paying attention to Natalie, Nathan closed his eyes as he focused.

Natalie's silent cry became the only sound on the gloomy alley.

Nathan started breathing rhythmically, slowly focusing on grasping something inside him.

This is something that Nathan thought of a while back.

He once thought that if he can take things out from his storage on the independent space while outside the space itself, he would have a place that can act like an item box from games!

Now is the first time that he'll be trying it out.

Thinking of the healing balls that he hid inside his dimensional space, Nathan focused his thoughts into 'grabbing' it.

After a couple of minutes, a healing ball suddenly appeared on his opened palm!

Nathan's eyes snapped open as he looked at the healing ball on the palm of his hand!

"It succeeded- ugh!"

At this point, even speaking puts strain on his shoulder.

Not wasting time any longer, Nathan threw it in his mouth.

Immediately, it turned into liquid and started flowing inside his body.

At the same time, Nathan felt the pain on his shoulder start to cool down.

Looking at it, Nathan saw the wound heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, the bullet that was stuck inside his shoulder was being pushed out by the healing ligaments.

Ding!

In just a few seconds, the wound fully healed while the bullet also fell to the ground.

Natalie on the side looks at what is happening on Nathan's side and is shocked!

Although she already saw it once before, she still can't but be surprised by the sight of flesh healing at an abnormal speed that her tears even stopped on their tracks!

She just stares at him like she was watching a miracle happen.

Nathan did not notice her reaction and still kept looking at the wound.

Once it was done, Nathan was excited to see if the healing balls are really that effective.

Nathan slowly got up from the ground and moved his arms.

After confirming that there's no more pain on his shoulders, Nathan turned to the dumbfounded Natalie crying on the ground.

He said, "See, I told you I'm okay!"

Ignoring the shocked look on Natalie's face, he patted her head gently, comforting the worried little girl.

Some emotion seems to burst inside Natalie as she hugged Nathan tightly and cried sorrowfully.

"Waa… brother… huuuu… I was so worried huuu… I thought you're going to die… woooo…"

Nathan gently caresses her hair while trying to comfort her.

"Shh, it's okay now, Tal. Brother is okay, you don't have to worry."

A few minutes passed by before Natalie separated from Nathan.

Next, they need to carefully get out of this place and get back to their house.

Nathan told Natalie to stay put before he went to the exit of the alley and peeked outside to see if the gangsters were still around.

Looking left and right, Nathan did not see any trace of the gangsters around.

He breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally gone."

"Let's go, they're gone now."

Nathan grabbed Natalie's hand and tugged her as he walked forward while warily looking at his surroundings.

It took them 20 minutes to get to the driver's park which usually just takes 10 minutes because they are acting cautiously.

Once they got on a tricycle, the two breathed a sigh of relief.

"We're finally safe." said Nathan,

Natalie nodded, also relaxing her tense body.

The tricycle drove down the road noisily while the siblings relaxed inside, freeing themselves from the worry of those gangsters.

…

Julia stood in the middle of the street with a book in her hand blankly staring straight on nothingness.

At this time, a pair of eyes suddenly appeared on a dark alley behind her.

Once that appeared, Julia walked towards it without any words.

A few seconds later, the dark shadows on the alley started moving as if it was alive!

They move towards Julia and without any warning, cover her from head to toe as she disappears as if eaten by the shadows!

The pair of eyes is the only one that remains there. After looking around, it also disappeared.

And the peace in the alley continued.
