Chapter 431: Familiarity
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Nolan strolled confidently toward Nan Yan, as if he were in his own territory.
The eyes behind the sunglasses stared at her intently, and with a hint of softness, he asked, “Who are you?”
Looking at the girl in front of him, who couldn’t quite be called a woman, he inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity.
But he was certain that he had never seen her before.
So, where did this sense of familiarity co from?
Nolan had always been good at suppressing his emotions, showing little emotional fluctuation to the outside world. However, now, a glimr of interest flashed in his gray-blue eyes hidden behind the sunglasses.
Is this young girl the one who hard Chapman?
Interesting.
Having such strength at such a young age, perhaps he could bring her back to his laboratory.
It would be a perfect opportunity to figure out why he felt familiar with her.
Nan Yan:
He ca to find her, and he still had to ask who she was?
However, even though he didn’t reveal his identity, she was ninety-nine percent sure that he was the mysterious mastermind behind the Seven Deadly Sins.
“Who you are doesn’t matter. Now, I’ll give you two choices,” Nolan calmly extended a finger. “One, co with willingly.”
Then he extended another finger. “Two, I’ll forcefully take you with .”
After saying that, he looked down at her with disdain and asked, “How do you want to choose?”
Nan Yan:
The mastermind of the Seven Deadly Sins, this big shot behind the scenes, actually had a problem with his head?
He’s crazy!
Nan Yan sneered, “I won’t choose either. How about you make a choice instead?
Will you surrender willingly, or should we go through the process?”
“Ignorant. ”
Nolan coldly uttered and his expression hardened as he made a move.
Nan Yan was quick too. Seeing him about to attack, she dodged backward before he could reach her, and her leg went straight for his lower abdon.
Nolan changed his move midway, trying to grab her ankle.
Nan Yan feinted, suddenly retracting her right leg and swiftly kicking her left leg towards his neck.
Nolan stepped back, and Nan Yan pushed off the bed board, bouncing up and launching a rapid counterattack.
In just a brief mont, they had exchanged several moves.
Nolan initially thought she was just a researcher, but it seed he had underestimated her.
Her combat skills were surprisingly good.
Nolan’s expression grew more serious, and his attack speed increased.
He was concerned that others might co. so he needed to finish this quickly.
Nan Yan had been unconscious for two days, and upon waking up, her body still felt weak.
Although she had rested for a few hours and recovered sowhat, she was at a distinct disadvantage in this fight.
Unable to dodge one of Nolan’s punches, Nan Yan was sent staggering backward. She couldn’t avoid it and gritted her teeth, intending to fight him at the cost of her own injuries.
Just then, footsteps were heard outside the door.
Qin Lu had returned.
Nolan’s assault ca to a halt. He turned to look in the direction of the door, then glanced back at Nan Yan, who had a resolute expression. He said darkly, “We’ll stop here for today. I’ll co find you again.”
With that, he swiftly moved to the window, put a finger to his lips, arrogantly blew her a kiss, and jumped out.
This was… the fifth floor…
Even if he had a strong physique, jumping directly from the fifth floor would surely cause severe injury or death.
She didn’t think he was the type to seek death.
Suppressing the surging blood in her chest, Nan Yan made her way to the window.
There was no sign of Nolan below.
Qin Lu pushed open the door and entered. Seeing Nan Yan standing by the window, he approached and asked, “Yanyan, do you want to go outside?”
He thought she might have gotten bored being cooped up in the hospital room all day.
“No… cough…” Nan Yan started to speak but suddenly coughed up blood.
Qin Lu’s expression changed. “What’s happening? I thought your condition wasn’t serious?”
It was just overexertion, so why was she coughing up blood?
Nan Yan’s body went limp, and she could barely stand. Qin Lu quickly lifted her and placed her on the hospital bed.
She wiped the blood from her lips and shook her head. “It’s nothing major, just so internal injuries.”
Coughing up the blood seed to have relieved the discomfort in her chest.
“Internal injuries?” Qin Lu’s gaze beca serious. “Did you sustain these injuries when you encountered the Seven Deadly Sins?”
“Not really,” Nan Yan slowly exhaled, her expression returning to normal except for a bit of weakness. “Just now, the mysterious leader of the Seven Deadly Sins ca.”
“I had a confrontation with him, and he landed a punch on .”
Qin Lu’s aura suddenly turned cold.
Then it dawned on him why he had left Nan Yan at this ti to deal with so urgent matters for Junlin Group.
Soone had intentionally lured him away.
Li Yuan and Zui Gui were probably also deliberately distracted.
Normally, at least one of them would stay in the hospital room with Nan Yan.
The other party had calculated against them when they were unaware, taking advantage of their absence to co for Nan Yan!
Qin Lu couldn’t help but feel a wave of fear.
If he had returned one minute later, would Nan Yan have been more seriously injured by Nolan or even taken away by him?
Qin Lu’s emotions were tightly suppressed.
If it weren’t for the fact that he had to be with Nan Yan right now, he would have wanted to eliminate the Seven Deadly Sins.
Qin Lu temporarily suppressed his anger and looked at the young girl with a furrowed brow. “Yanyan, how are your injuries?”
“It’s fine, just need to take so dicine.” For Nan Yan, this kind of internal injury was just a matter of resting for an extra day.
She asked Qin Lu to fetch her so dication, and after taking two pills, she said thoughtfully, “Brother, I feel like he’s sowhat familiar…”
“Have you seen him before?” Qin Lu inquired.
“He wore a pair of sunglasses and a mask, so I couldn’t see his face. But when I fought him, it gave a sensation as if I had crossed paths with him before.”
She shouldn’t have had the chance to encounter the mastermind behind the Seven Deadly Sins.
Or did she?
The mastermind behind the Seven Deadly Sins was extrely mysterious, and no one in the outside world knew what he looked like or his actual age. “Brother, when you led him to the Middle East last ti, did you see his true face?”
“No, I only knew he personally went to the Middle East, but I couldn’t identify who he was.”
He was soone who excelled at concealing his identity.
Nan Yan fell silent for a mont and then said calmly, “He ntioned that he would co again.”
Qin Lu’s eyes grew deeper. “Next ti, I’ll make sure he regrets coming.”
Nolan returned to the Seven Deadly Sins headquarters and took the elevator all the way down to the eighteenth floor.
Back in his office, he removed his sunglasses and mask, revealing his sickly yet extraordinarily beautiful face.
Supporting his chin with his hand, he pondered, trying to recall where he might have felt familiarity with Nan Yan.
It wasn’t her appearance…
It seed to be sothing about her aura.
He closed his eyes, his fingertips pressing against his forehead, searching his mories.
After combing through his mories, he opened his eyes, feeling sowhat perplexed.
It appeared that he couldn’t find anyone in his mories related to this particular aura.
A voice filled with frustration echoed in his mind, “Nolan, why are you tampering with my mories?”
Nolan scoffed, “Your mories? Now, they are all mine.”
“You are just an outsider who have occupied my body to do wicked deeds….”
