Sophie sighed in her heart noticing this. Then with a calm expression on her face, she poured her some water and gave it to her.
After Natalie drank it, she tore off a slice from the piece of bread, "Here."
"Thank you." Natalie muttered in a low voice, took the bread and began nibbling on it.
Sophie waited for her to finish eating before she stood up, took out a soft towel from the cabinet and was about to wet it with the water from the jug when the door suddenly opened, causing her to stop.
She turned to look and saw it was Max.
Natalie had just calmed down, but seeing Max, her heart rate increased.
Seeing this, Max refrained from entering the room. From the door, he calmly said, "I have refilled the water tank. You guys can take a shower now if you like. Just make sure you don't waste any water as refilling it again wouldn't be easy."
Saying this, he looked at Natalie and gave her what he thought was a warm smile, "Rest well, babygirl, and if you need anything, just tell me, alright? I'll find a way to get it."
Hearing this, warmth surged in Natalie's heart.
She then gave him a bashful but sweet smile and nodded lightly. "Mhm, Big Brother!"
Seeing this, Max couldn't stop himself. He entered the room, came over to her, leaned down and captured her lips with his for a passionate kiss.
Pah!
After a while, he pulled away, leaving Natalie breathless and flushed red. Then, under Sophie's astonished gaze, he nodded at her and walked out of the room like nothing happened and headed downstairs.
...
After telling Emily that there was water in the water tank now and she could shower, he took the key of the main gate and headed out.
…
A few moments later, he was standing in front of the large steel gate with the key in hand, deep in thought.
Just now, he had checked the street from the gaps in the gate and saw a few people loitering around. While they looked starved and weak and hadn't tried to climb the wall like the two last night, their gazes had flicked to the cut off section of the barbed fencing a few times.
He was sure, if they had a ladder, they most likely would have tried to enter his house.
So, he was thinking, he should make sure no one can enter the house, at least without alerting him.
A moment later, he opened the system shop, clicked on the [Request Items], typed a few keywords such as 'house security', 'surveillance', etc and paid 1 Harem Point.
Immediately, a screen popped up in front of him.
[Choose one of the items listed below]
Unbreachable Stone Ramparts (1 Piece/10HP) Electric Fencing (1 Piece/15 HP) Motion Detector Camera (1 Piece/15 HP)
…
…
Mounted Laser Guns (1 Piece/80 HP) Stone Sentry (1 Piece/100 HP)
…
…
Defense Talisman (1 Piece/120)
…
Illusion Mist Formation (1 Piece/150 HP)
Max checked each item's information that appeared in his head, even the ones that he could not purchase due to insufficient Harem Points, and his eyes lit up.
As long as he had enough Harem Points, he could make his villa completely secure and unbreachable.
'Once I buy this Illusion Mist Formation, Natalie and others can lounge in the courtyard or back garden without the fear of anyone noticing them from outside.' He thought.
Each item in the list was useful, but since he could choose only one for now, he chose electric fencing.
[Electric Fencing: A strong metal fencing with enough electricity flowing through them to kill an average person within a split second.]
It was priced at 15 Harem Points per piece. After thinking for a while, he bought two pieces.
[Harem Points: 44→14]
Immediately, two fences appeared in his inventory and Harem Points were deducted.
With a thought, he took one of them out. It was a little over one-foot-long in length and looked no different than a normal steel wire. Only, it was black in color and there was a small square device at its center with a switch on it.
Since he had got all the information about it, he knew this switch had a simple function—it could switch on and off the electricity. Currently, it was off which was why he was able to hold it in his hand without being shocked to death.
"As long as someone doesn't tear down the main gate or can climb the wall without touching the fence, no one can enter the house." He grinned and went over to bring the ladder the intruders gifted him yesterday and some tools to fix the fence so there was no apparent gap in it.
About ten minutes later, he fixed the fence and then proceeded to connect the [Electric Fence] with it.
Once he was done, he glanced at people in the street staring at him. He grinned and thought, 'If any of you want to die, you are welcome to try to barge into my home.'
Click!
With this thought, he switched on the Electric Fence.
Whizz!
As electricity flowed into the barbed steel fence, it produced a strong whizzing noise for a few seconds before calming down.
Nodding in satisfaction, he climbed down the ladder and backed off a few steps. As soon as the distance between him and the electric fence became five meters, the box with the switch in the middle of the fence disappeared.
"Nice!" He smiled.
Apart from the strong electricity to kill people on the spot, this fence had another two functions which he liked.
First was that as long as he wasn't within five meters of it, the switch box would become invisible and inoperable.
While this meant the ladies in his home wouldn't be able to switch it off even when necessary, he liked it this way.
The second function was that he didn't need to worry about finding an electricity generator to recharge it because…
[100/100]
With a thought, he brought up a small screen which showed the battery of the fence. He could monitor it from wherever since it was integrated into the system and when needed, he could recharge it with Harem Points—only one Harem Point was needed to completely recharge it.
"The electric fence doesn't need a recharge for a week if it wasn't connected to the rest of the house fence, but since it is, I wonder how long it can last." He muttered.
Given it was giving him safety, he wouldn't mind even if he had to recharge it two or three times a day, but he hoped it lasted at least one day if not more.
"Now, let's see if Mrs. Martinez and that sweet little girl are alive." He muttered and then licked his lips, "I really hope they are."
Throb!
In his pants, his cock hardened and jerked in agreement.
