Chapter 103 Curse Shaman, Elder Nunoy
Nathan walks around the cafe to first try out the stealth skill\'s effectiveness.
The sound of his footsteps have disappeared since he also gained the skill called Silent Steps (A) when he became a ninja.
Immediately noticing this, Nathan can\'t help but approve more of all these ninja skills.
Now to try out the Stealth (A) skill, Nathan decides first to go to Joseph and see if he will notice him.
Casually walking around, he arrived back at their table where Joseph was still sitting looking at the cup of coffee in his hands with an ugly look.
It seems like Joseph didn\'t notice Nathan as he was still focused on the coffee.
Then, Nathan suddenly heard him speak in a low voice.
"What the hell did they put in this coffee? Did they put sh*t in it for it to taste this bad? Is this the reason why they have to resort to unspeakable means such as putting curse in the Cafe?"
Hearing his words, Nathan almost let out a chuckle but luckily he was able to hold it in.
When he was almost standing face to face with Joseph, Nathan finally confirmed that Joseph indeed can\'t notice him.
To test it out more, he walked up to a man ordering a coffee at the counter, waved his hand in front of him, but it seems like the man couldn\'t see him as he did not even react no matter how many times Nathan tried to disturb him.
Through those tests, Nathan now has confidence in this stealth.
And so, without hesitation, he started heading towards the back of the cafe, where the dressing room as well as the office are located.
Through a ninja skill called Shadow Walk (A), Nathan passed through the door without having to open it and so remained unnoticed.
When he came in, he immediately saw two people sitting face to face in front of a coffee table.
One is Gonzales who sat there with a respectful attitude, while the other is a dark skinned old man wearing tribal clothes and accessories made from animal teeth with no other redeeming features to him aside from being skinny.

….
Looking at the informations that he got, Nathan\'s eyes immediately narrowed.
\'No need to ask, this old man is surely the one who made that bell, cursing the cafe and the reason my people almost died!\'
Clenching his fist, Nathan remained calm in this situation.
It was because of the help of another one of the Ninja\'s Skill, Calm Mind (A) that basically help him have a clear and calm mind at all times.
Standing in a corner of the room, Nathan started listening to what they are talking about.
With a subservient attitude, Gonzales talked to the dark skinned man.
"Elder Nunoy, I\'m glad that you\'re able to come to us today. Truly, it was such an honor to meet you."
On his face is a fawning look that you won\'t be able to differentiate with a dog looking at its owner.
The dark skinned old man or Elder Nunoy just nodded casually to Gonzales\' words.
Then, with an awkward and hesitant look, Gonzales continued, "Uhm, Elder Nunoy, the reason I asked for you to come today was to ask about the situation of the Mountain\'s Fragrance Cafe."
Hearing the name of his cafe, Nathan\'s ears perked up, trying to listen well to the conversation.
At the same time, he took out his phone and started audio recording in case he needed it.
Elder Nunoy seems to be confused about Gonzales\' question.
With a frown, he said, "Hmm, what do you mean? Didn\'t I already make a curse to eliminate the people there?"
"That," scratching his head awkwardly, Gonzales said, "Uhm, yes, Elder, but it\'s been a few weeks but it seems like their cafe is still bustling with people."
Elder Nunoy\'s frown became heavy after hearing his words, "That\'s impossible! What I gave them is a living curse that can kill anyone who stays under it for a long time in just under 1 week!"
Then as if he thought of something, his eyes looking at Gonzales became suspicious, with a hint of anger in his voice, he said,
"Are you sure you\'re not just finding faults here? I heard that you\'re forming ties with the Calebra Tribe these days so it won\'t be a surprise if you\'re trying to ruin my reputation like this."
The more he talks, the angrier he gets.
Just when he was about to attack, Gonzales hurriedly stopped him.
"No, no, no Elder, I can explain, please listen to me first."
At this time, sweat continuously trickled down his body as fear of dying appeared in his thoughts that sh*t even came out of his butt.
Seeing his pitiful appearance, Elder Nunoy did not continue his attack and signaled him to say what he\'s going to say.
Hurriedly taking out his phone, Gonzales showed it to Elder Nunoy, "Here, it was taken by my subordinates that are keeping watch of that cafe."
On the screen is a picture of Mountain\'s Fragrance Cafe with people obviously continuously coming in and out of the cafe.
Gonzales hurriedly explained, "This was captured just yesterday. Originally, I thought that their cafe should have been closed by now because I know Elder Nunoy\'s curse\'s capabilities.
"But I was surprised after I saw this picture and immediately checked it yesterday, and they are indeed still popular until now.
"Everyone there seems healthy as well, not like people that are affected by a curse!"
