Novel Full Chapter 9 - Meeting Amanda
Emma looked at the giant screen for a while before he uttered what was on his mind. "I don't know how long it will take me to achieve it," he paused. "I know I could achieve it with the sanctuary now. But I don't want to expose myself and the sanctuary."
[Sanctuary!]
"Yeah, this place will be our Sanctuary." Emma waved his hand into the empty space.
[Oh! Hmm, First. Let me give you a road map…]
Emma smile "Ok, I'm all ear."
[First, you need a lot of knowledge which you are currently lacking.]
[Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry. These will be the major subjects you have to focus on. When you have basic know of these three knowledge. Then you can move to the advance topic. Where I will be introducing you some of the relevant subject in my universe.]
[Let me sound a note of warning. These subjects are comprehensive. You must devote your time and effort to it.]
"I know. It not I've not been to school at all." Emma said in determination.
[Could that be counted you having knowledge? Don't make me start.]
"Mathematics, Physic, and Chemistry," Emma murmured. 'How would I learn this subject? I don't want to waste a fraction of my time.' he thought. Emma was in deep thought on how to learn this subject. If some gang did not hunt him. He won't have to worry about learning this subject. He could easily find all the basic stuff on the internet.
He shook his dejected. He couldn't easily find any way to this subject. He creased his brow and scratched his head. 'Emma think! think!'
Hmm!
Ah! Ah! Ah!
Emma laughed happily. He had a satisfying smile on his face.
[Have you found a solution on how to acquire this knowledge.]
"Lily. I have found a way." Emma said with a tight lip smile. "I will have to use the old library. But I can't go by myself. I will need the help of Amanda." He murmured.
[Since you found a way to access a library. That's nice.]
Hmm
'It may be a little difficult but I will surely find a way.' "What's the time."
'I'm too happy that I lost the track of time.'
[According to your earth standard. 5 pm.]
"I have to wait a bit for the sky to become darker before I leave."
************
Opposite to an average-looking restaurant. A man covers himself in a rage cloth and hid across the road in the darkness that was difficult to see by the people visiting the restaurant. The man looked at the restaurant frequently. The man was Emma. He hid in the obscure location waiting for Amanda to come out.
After waiting for another hour. Amanda's fragile self came out, looking tired and haggard. Obviously, he was exhausted. Shortly, two men follow Amanda.
"Babe, won't you accept the token of my love?" One of the men said with a loving gaze. He was a bald, bony man with some missing teeth.
"Degare, I ask you to give me some time. You said you'll be a perfect gentleman. Isn't " Amanda put on a forced smile, trying to hide the disgust in her face.
Degare smile. His smile could make people puke. "Sure, Sure. But don't keep me waiting too long." He used his bony hand to caress Amanda's fragile hand.
"Hmm, That's lovely of you," Amanda said with a tight lip. She could barely stand the man. The man was one of the cruelest men Amanda knew. She had lost how many young maidens had been killed by this stony hand.
Degare chuckle. "If you need anything, let me know. We'll be leaving now." He blows a kiss at Amanda while Amanda pretended to behave shy to the kiss. Though she was avoiding the kiss. If she stood too long with that devil of a man. She would soon pass out. Taking a deep breath, Amanda continued her journey home.
After a few minutes of working. Amanda heard a sound, but she didn't stop working. She increased the pace of her steps. Her house was close to her working place. Shortly, she would reach her house.
Pst, Pst, Pst.
"Amanda, am Emma," Emma whispered.
Hmm!
Amanda's footstep halted. She looked at where the voice was coming from. Though it was already night. There was still traces of light in the surrounding, making it possible for Amanda to catch a look on Emma's face. Since Emma had come closer to her.
It surprised Amanda to see Emma around her house. She opened her eyes wide. "What are you doing here?" She asked dumbfounded.
"Can you come closer?" Emma asked.
Hmm!
Emma and Amanda were not friends or anything. But whenever Emma perform his debauchery life at the restaurant where Amanda was working. He frequently gave her some tips and Emma had to save Amanda from the clutch of her boss when she made some mistake in the restaurant. That's why she helped Emma the previous day.
Amanda walked closer to Emma. "What."
"I need your help," Emma asked. He had risked everything to come here. He won't accept no for an answer. He was determined to receive the help he needed.
"With Food?"
"No, No. I like to visit the library."
Hearing this, Amanda furrowed. She squinted her eyes. "Do you think I have the money to visit such a place? Besides, if we are to go to that place they will see you. Are you high.?" She asked raising his brow.
"No, I want to visit the old library or something of such. I need some basic books and they may require user verification in the old library. I need your help to get those books that all."
"Oh, you want to study?" Amanda asked, puzzled.
Emma did not answer her. He just stared at her waiting for her response.
Seeing that Emma was not ready to answer her question. She didn't push forward. Amanda was quiet for some seconds. "What subject."
"Math, Physic and Chemistry."
"Hmm, I've got some of those. When I was preparing for high school. My parent had already gotten me all the necessary textbooks I needed. But we will visit the old library if you need a comprehensive one."
Emma nodded. "Thank you. Can I also get all the necessary material for writing?"
Amanda looked at Emma and shook her head. If Emma went back to his study at this age. It was already too late for that. But she won't discourage him. She doesn't know what prompted him to study.. Besides this was better than living a debauchery life.
