When a group of related personnel came to Gerard’s house and saw Crocodile’s body, they couldn’t help but gasp. They couldn’t believe what they saw.
It was hard to imagine what Crocodile had gone through before he died.
“I didn’t know you were this strong. How did you become this good? He is Mr. Crocodile from Blood Skull!” An agent of Homeland Security patted Hale on the shoulder and said.
“I didn’t do it… I am not capable of doing things like this. It was him…” Hale pointed at Nathan, who was sleeping on the bed.
Everyone was puzzled. They looked at Nathan and didn’t know how to react.
How could Nathan sleep after he killed Mr. Crocodile?
Hale was also shocked by Nathan. He knew the man known as Mr. Crocodile wasn’t an ordinary man. However, Nathan killed him easily without considering any consequences.
Young people nowadays are fierce!
Everyone in the Hopp family was distressed because of it. But Nathan didn’t care and was sleeping soundly.
After four o’clock, he got up and went to Forest Park After arriving there, he realized that he had given two apprentices a day off.
I totally forgot about that!
Nathan scratched his head and whispered.
Nathan didn’t plan to tell Gussie about his fight with Crocodile. He didn’t want to mislead her.
After all, there were not many people in this world who had supernatural strength and physical fitness like Nathan. Most people would exhaust themselves to death if they fought like this. Nathan didn’t have a choice but to practice alone.
When he was almost done practicing, he suddenly spotted someone he knew.
It was Evelyn.
She was dressed in sportswear and didn’t wear any makeup. She looked as pure as the driven snow.
After Evelyn entered the park, she walked to a relatively high place that had no trace of others and sat down.
A ray of sunlight finally emerged from the east, cut through the darkness, and brought light.
”What a coincidence, Miss Mendez! Are you here to watch the sunrise?” Nathan walked up to her to break the silence.
Evelyn was Flora’s younger sister. Thus, there was no harm in getting closer to her.
Evelyn didn’t look back. “I’m looking at the sea!”
“For real?” Nathan was baffled for a second.
Then he nodded in approval. He hadn’t known Evelyn was this artsy.
She was already a professional chess player who liked to play the piano. Now she was here this early just to watch the sea. She was the most genteel person he had ever met.
After the sun rose, Evelyn clapped her hands in satisfaction and took out a folding chessboard and two boxes of chess pieces from her small backpack. She opened the chessboard, sat on the ground, and moved the chess pieces.
Nathan approached her and watched it for a While.
After a dozen moves, he said, “Is that what I think it is?”
Evelyn wasn’t playing by herself. If she did, then it would seem way too fake. She wasn’t placing the chess pieces on the board randomly. It was the Queen’s Gambit.
“Do you know about chess?” Evelyn raised her head and asked in surprise.
