Anton, his family, and his friends spent the rest of the evening watching television shows. They did only watched one episode of each of the shows they were currently watching and all of them were entertained, even Anton since he hadn’t seen them before as well.

Admittedly, Anton felt that some of the special effects were dated since the shows were released in the nineties on Earth but he was the only one among them that could complain about something like the special effects since whatever show he presented to his family and friends would be fresh to them.

After the shows ended, it was still early and Anna asked if they could eat some of the Kraken tentacle meat as a late-night snack. Everyone really liked the ocean monster’s meat so Anton agreed and cut a few kilos of the meat and Phillip called Harun and asked the guide to have the meat cooked.

Anders was amenable to that since all the expenses would be shouldered by Anton’s new friends.

While they were waiting for the food to arrive everyone talked about different things. Antonia, Lucia, and Walter were speaking with Anna and the other girls about the show while Phillip was cornered by Anton.

“Is it true that the ship usually would receive an attack at twice a week?”

“Yes, but it isn’t a problem for Amelia since there are a lot of powerful people defending it. Since we’re still near Rendindura, most attacks would usually be from people like pirates. The Kraken attack a few days ago was especially rare this close to the continent and a lot of us were a bit worried about that since we thought that it was a move by the Undead Coalition. We’ve heard of some huge undead monsters in the ocean that the most powerful undead could control and thought that the Kraken was something like that,” Phillip said.

While Phillip answered Anton, he could clearly see that the rich young man’s attention was divided between him and the discussion that was happening between the ladies of his family and Antonia, Lucia, and Walter.

Anton did not care and asked some more questions to Phillip.

“Are you saying that there’s still a chance that the Undead Coalition may attack the ships that are departing from Rendindura?”

“Not only do we think that we know since we received a report of that happening already. We are also aware that there’s even a chance that the attack of the Undead Coalition may even reach the other continent so they could get a foothold in other areas of the planet. The powers that be of course will try their best to stop that but the Undead Coalition is powerful as well but of course, we’re truly not worried. At least, not one hundred percent worried since the world is big and there are truly powerful beings that supposedly maintain the balance of the world according to our elders but in my opinion, it’s not about the balance but protecting their interest. All powerful beings require huge amounts of resources to increase their power and would do everything they can to defend the areas they control where they get their resources from being occupied by other organizations.”

Anton admitted to himself that that was what he was thinking so he couldn’t believe the speed at which the undead conquered the continent of Rendindura but he was still ignorant and his tutor in Zalnothel did point out that the cities that his family had been to was still a small part of the Rendindura continent. He and his family just decided to cross the oceans since they thought that it was unlikely that the undead would continue their ambition across the sea when all of Rendindura had not been conquered yet.

That was the main reason why Anton felt a bit stressed if he didn’t progress in his leveling up using his Diablo system even for a day because he knew deep down that there would come a time when there would be a need to fight the undead for the right to exist.

Anton took pity on Phillip and did not ask the man any more questions and allowed him to join the other’s discussion about the movies and shows they had already seen. He could see that his new friends from New Drennor were truly enamored with what they probably considered a new form of entertainment.

Soon, Harun arrived with a few others to deliver the food that Phillp commissioned. After Phillip paid the man, they began to eat the food that consisted of the Kraken’s meat. It was supposed to be just a snack but the amount was a lot. Nobody was complaining since the tentacle meat was truly delicious.

While they were eating Anders asked Anton what movie they planned to show next after Titanic.

“I’ll give you a list of movies that we have already seen before and you can arrange the order to which you would show them to customers,” Anton replied.

“Can you add some movies that we haven’t seen?” Anna requested and Anton nodded.

Anton knew that it was a bit unfair for him to let his family watch the same movies over and over again when he boasted that he had countless movies and shows.

“Brother, can you let us watch an animated film before we sleep tonight?” Anna requested and since it was only nine in the evening and with Anders's approval, Anton decided on an ocean-theme animated film so he decided to show them the Pixar Film, Finding Nemo.

Anton saw that his new friends from New Drennor were highly interested since they had heard about animated films and even though some of his family members explained the genre to them in detail, he knew that they still hadn’t understood what animation was.

When the film Finding Nemo started, everyone was fascinated by the scenery under the ocean. Anton remembered that he really loved the film and was glad that everyone seemed to like it because they couldn’t take their eyes away from the projector’s screen. He especially liked the fish character Dory and she was his favorite.

The adventures that Marlin experienced in the great ocean in trying to find his son Nemo touched his father since he could see the worry on Anders’s face that it almost made Anton laugh but he could understand his father’s worry.

They had been constantly on the run and more than likely, Anton’s father was placing himself on Marlin’s feet or fins. He knew that if something like that happened to his family, Anton would do everything in his power to rescue his family as well.

Anton liked the sharks in the movie as well since even though they were obviously scary monsters, they helped Marlin a lot.

When the movie ended, Anton was startled when Antonia, Lucia, Walter, and Phillip clapped and everyone joined them. They clapped so long and so hard that Anton imagined that their hands were already sore. The women, including the two female bodyguards, had tears in their eyes even though Anton thought the movie wasn’t a tear-jerker. He was guessing that not only his father, but everyone was putting themselves in the film character’s shoes, or fins since with the situation they had encountered so far, they knew that the most affected were families.
