Chapter 1608 Two Bodies In A River
Levant aimed a kick at Faye, but she spun out of the way and avoided it easily. She called out, “Your technique is pretty good, but you haven’t mastered it. I’ve already mastered my techniques, so there’s no way you can catch me.”
Then, Faye started attacking Levant, turning the tables on him with her nimble movements. It was clear he was no match for her.
As she attacked him for the fiftieth time, he called a halt to the spar. “Not bad. I suppose still waters run deep, eh?”
Faye responded, “You’re not too bad yourself. I thought I’d be able to take you down in thirty moves, but it looks like I need at least fifty.”
“Well, fifty moves is about all I can take from you. I’m curious to know who taught you. Do you think your mentor could teach me?” Levant asked inquisitively.
“We have our own rules, so I’m afraid I can’t reveal my master’s name. However, I can teach you a few simple moves.”
“I understand. Simple moves are fine. If I combine them with my techniques, I might create something even more powerful!” he said eagerly.
Faye paused briefly before saying, “That might be possible. You can give it a try.”
“Then, it’s settled! For this round, you’re the winner!”
Faye smiled to herself. Thanks to my superior skills, this man won’t underestimate me again just because I’m a woman. He keeps trying to find out where my master is, but my lips are sealed. I’m not going to reveal anything to him!
Later that evening, Evan and Nicole returned after a futile search for Nina, at a loss for what to do next.
“Evan, come with me,” said Murphy.
When they were in the privacy of the study room, Murphy opened the desk drawer and took out a pair of earrings as well as a necklace.
“Do you recognize these items?”
Evan took one glance at them and knew that they belonged to Nina. In fact, he had the necklace specially made for Nina for her birthday. There was only one like it in the entire world. The diamond had cost a fortune, and the chain was also expensive.
“Where did you get this?” he asked.
“I didn’t dare to say anything in front of Nicole. The necklace and earrings were found by a river,” Murphy replied.
Evan had a sinking feeling as he wondered, “By a river? Nina wouldn’t have done something silly, would she?”
“Which river?” he demanded.
“Calm down, Evan. We searched the river and found two bodies. A male and a female. Based on the age and height, we’ve determined that it isn’t Nina. As long as we don’t find her body, it means there’s a high chance she’s still alive.”
Evan’s expression was grave, and an air of despondency hung heavy around him. “Are there no other clues?”
Murphy let out a long sigh. “The other clues came to nothing. We looked into them but didn’t find anything useful. You know, your mother dreamt of Nina before she left. Nina appeared to be doing fine in her dream, and Nina even told her not to worry. Part of the reason your mother wanted to leave was that she wanted to take care of the pregnant Sally, but it was also because she was afraid of getting any bad news about Nina. She was on edge these past few days. It’s said that one’s dreams are reflective of one’s thoughts during the day. Since the matter was weighing heavily on her mind, that might be why she dreamt of Nina.”
“Nicole also had a dream about Nina. She said Nina was wearing strange makeup and asked Nicole whether her makeup looked nice. Nina also said goodbye…” Evan’s voice trailed off as he clutched Nina’s earrings and necklace.
“Bless her. She’s also worried sick. My heart goes out to all the parents in the world.”
As soon as Murphy said that, Evan’s phone rang.
Seeing that the call was from Draven, Evan answered it immediately.
“What is it?” he asked.
“We heard that you and Mrs. Seet have come to K Nation. I apologize for our incompetence as we still haven’t found Ms. Nina.”
“Haven’t you been able to discover any clues? What’s the point of employing you lot then!” Evan growled.
“We’re sorry for letting you down, Mr. Seet. We discovered some clues and identified a potential target. However, we’re not sure whether the person is Ms. Nina. We were planning to confirm it before letting you know,” said Draven.
“What? A target? Where?”
