Back in the day, Kraven Macalister served Nathan's master—Lothar Macmaster—and would always carry the latter's sword wherever he went.
Nathan never imagined that he would run into Kraven in a place like that and was elated at the wonderful coincidence.
In the blink of an eye, his body disappeared in a flash before reappearing a few hundred meters away. His movement was so swift that it was undetectable by the naked eye.
All Kraven saw was a blur before
Nathan emerged right in front of him.
Nathan remarked in delight, “Mr. Macalister, it really is you.”
Flashing a smile that exposed his yellow teeth reminiscent of his smoking habit during his younger days, Kraven exclaimed in an equally joyful tone, “Nathan, I can't believe it's you! It's been such a long time since I last saw you. I never expected to run into you so far away from home.”
Nathan gave Kraven a heavy pat on his shoulder and replied joyfully, “Me too. Kraven, where have you and Master been all these years? It's been so difficult to find you. I searched all over Eurasia and even got my friends overseas to look for you. However, there was just no way to track both of you down.”
The master Nathan spoke of was naturally Eraven s master too.
Consequently, Eraven s smile froze as a grim look descended upon his eyes.
He shook his head with a wry smile. “It's a long story.”
Nathan added, “In that case, let's go and see Master first. You can then relate what happened to me slowly, as I have all the time in the world. So, where's Master now?”
Nathan had hardly finished when he scanned the surroundings, hoping to find his master among the crowd.
However, Xraven shook his head. “Nathan, Master and I were separated a few years ago.”
Separated?
Nathan stared at Kraven in shock, for Kraven was his master's servant who was responsible for carrying Lothar's sword.
Regardless of where Lothar went, Kraven would be by his side, carrying the former's scabbard behind his back.
So how did these two, who were supposed to be inseparable, lose each other for so many years?
