Chapter 13 The Mysterious Chip

A man clad in black darted into the stairwell, with a cadre of suited men on his heels.

Nathan's adorable face was now a canvas of astonishment. 'Is this for a movie? That's so cool!'

Shaking off his amazement, Nathan slowly took something out of his pocket.

The small, delicate box creaked open, unveiling a golden chip, no larger than a soybean.

Nathan scrutinized it, pondering its purpose. It bore little resemblance to gold, and more to the electronic components that Noah often fiddled with. "Sunflower seeds!" Coco, mistaking the chip for a treat, opened its beak and swallowed the chip.

Nathan was thrown into a panic, patting Coco's little green head and shouting, "Coco, spit it out! Spit it out!"

Startled, Coco swallowed the chip instead.

"Ah!" In desperation, Nathan grabbed Coco by its tail feathers and shook it upside down. "You can't eat this! Spit it out!"

Coco, shaken so vigorously it saw stars, rolled its eyes in distress.
