The Captain I Married by Chance novel Chapter 522

"Aren't you two supposed to be so capable? Find them yourselves."

The moment the words left his mouth, Nora knew with absolute certainty that Nathan was still here.

All her previous urgency vanished into thin air.

She walked over to the man and crouched down, meeting his gaze at eye level.

"Why are you doing this? Is it really just for the money?"

Nora couldn't fathom why someone would attack a police officer just for a paycheck.

Assaulting an officer was a severe crime.

Not to mention, this man clearly had malicious intentions from the start.

If Nora and Julia had actually fallen into his hands, there was no telling what horrors they would have faced.

"Of course it's not just for the money!"

The man spat viciously. "You can't take money to the grave. We're all simple, honest tradesmen here. We earn what we work for. We never dreamed of getting rich overnight. Busting our asses just to survive every day is exhausting enough. Who has time to fantasize about impossible things?"

Julia had been furious, but hearing this, she looked at the man in disbelief.

"Then what exactly are you trying to do?"

His earlier behavior screamed of a violent vendetta against the world.

Now he was claiming to be a simple, honest guy.

Julia was genuinely curious about what could drive a normal person to this extreme.

The man seemed to give up his struggle. He looked at Nora and Julia, then muttered, "I just wanted to stay alive."

Julia was impatient by nature. Stomping her foot in frustration, she snapped, "Look, buddy, what exactly happened to you? Just spit it out."

The man glared at her. "Do you have zero patience? And you call yourself a cop."
