At that time, he was really afraid that Nikita would beat that man to death.
But then after the police were called, the doctor examined the men who had been beaten badly. It was surprising that the injury identification said that those men were fine. Those injuries on their body were not even counted as minor injuries.
He didn't know how Nikita did it.
Those men were obviously swollen and wailing. But Nikita didn't let her strikes hit any fatal parts of those men. They looked like they were badly beaten. And in fact, they had been beaten violently. But the test could only diagnose that they had some tiny superficial injuries.
It was quite a coincidence.
Plus, Nikita was young at the time. So, it ended up with nothing conclusive.
But since then, the people of the village saw Nikita as a beast. They were all scared of Nikita.
"Well, that... That won't happen." The village chief answered with a trembling voice.
"That's good." Nikita slowly put her fist back.
"Let's go." She turned her head and spoke to Sheehan without looking at the village chief and the group of villagers again. Then, she was ready to get into the car.
"Nikita," behind her, the village chief called out to her again.
"What else?" Nikita held the car door with one hand and didn't turn around.
"Do you know a young man named Nathan?" The village chief asked.
Nikita asked, "Nathan?"
The village chief said, "He came to our village two days ago and asked me a lot of questions about your childhood. He said he was your brother and wanted to know more about you. I saw that you did look alike. So, I believed him. And I told him something about your past."
The village chief's expression somehow became uneasy. He was afraid that he had done something wrong.
He didn't mean to tell Nikita about this in the first place. But being frightened by Nikita just then, he was afraid Nikita would seek his trouble because of this.
He was too old to endure her beating.
"But what I told him is something known to us all." Seeing that Nikita did not make a sound, the village chief felt increasingly uneasy and explained to her, "I don't know any of your secrets. He just asked some questions about your life. He didn't ask any weird questions."
"Is this Nathan your brother?" The village chief asked cautiously.
Nathan had come to Syracuse Village?
And he sought out the village chief to learn about her childhood?
What did he want?
Was it because she had cut off her ties with the Swift family that he suddenly cared about her, a sister of him?
Nikita squinted and said softly, after a few seconds of silence, "He is my brother."
Hearing this, the village chief, who was tensed and sweaty, eased at once.
He let out a long breath.
"That's good. That's good." The village chief wiped the sweat on his forehead and laughed awkwardly, "Then there is nothing more. Safe drive."
In the car, looking at the familiar scenery outside the window, Nikita propped one elbow on the glass of the car window.
Her dark eyes were half-squinted, with a touch of deep thought in them. She was still thinking about Nathan.
Nathan had gone to Syracuse Village. What for?
Did he especially go to Syracuse Village to get to know her? Unlikely.
After thinking for a while, she didn't guess why. So, she didn't bother to think about it anymore.
No matter what Nathan was doing, she had nothing to do with the Swift family anymore. And what Nathan did naturally had nothing to do with her.
An hour later, they arrived at Nature Town.
Nikita and Sheehan arrived at the hospital in the town. They parked the car and Sheehan got out with her.
Nikita told him that she was going to see an elder with whom she had a good relationship.
"Do I have to go with you?" Sheehan asked.
"If you want to go with me, you can go with me. If you don't want to..."
