As Nathan and the others continued to watch Max on the television, they were utterly baffled.
Suddenly, Nathan knitted his brows and turned toward the restaurant entrance.
Colin asked softly, “Mr. Cross, what is it?”
Kraven and Kerry, too, grew vigilant and trailed Nathan's gaze to the door, thinking that Ariarica's men had caught up with them.
Unexpectedly, there was no one or anything at the door at all.
Before Colin could probe further, the restaurant door was pushed open, and in walked a disheveled-looking figure.
It was a sight that shocked the other three except Nathan.
Kerry instinctively lowered her voice as she exclaimed, “It's him!”
It turned out that the disheveled-looking figure was none other than the lunatic imprisoned at the bottom of the Ghost Ship last night.
After Kerry and the others painstakingly broke him out of prison, he ended up fighting them instead.
It wasn't until he failed to defeat Nathan that he chose to flee.
As for Nathan, he didn't expect to run into the lunatic again.
For a moment, no one was sure if their meeting was just a coincidence or if the lunatic was there to attack them.
Meanwhile, when the restaurant's staff saw the old man, who looked like a beggar with his disheveled appearance, a burly waiter dressed in white chased him out while speaking Ariarican.
However, the old man didn't understand the language and simply stood his ground.
Feeling exasperated, the waiter switched to speaking Eurasian instead after noticing the old man's Aplothian features. He threatened awkwardly, “You, dirty old man, get out of our restaurant before I break both your legs.”
Despite that, the disheveled old man refused to budge.
Even Kerry held her breath nervously, worried that the old man would go on a rampage just like the night before.
Only Nathan maintained his calm. He even curiously scrutinized the mysterious but crazy old man whose eyes were milky white.
It was as if the condition of his eyes had deteriorated from being locked up in darkness for too long.
Nonetheless, the old man emitted a powerful murderous intent still.
Nathan could sense that he was not much weaker than Max, intensifying his curiosity about the old man's background.
Much to everyone's surprise, the old man wasn't aiming for Nathan and his companions.
Instead, his attention had fallen upon the bountiful food on their table, which was the reason he approached them in the first place.
Despite not being of sound mind, the old man was like a wild beast. He could smell the terrifying power exuded by Nathan and sense the fatal threat that Nathan posed.
