The Greatest Man Alive

Chapter 456

Gerard thanked Nathan and Gussie for saving Angelina and invited them to stay and have dinner. But the other party refused him.

Gussie was injured and had to be treated quickly. He said he would come later.

“Who is Natalie learning martial arts from now? Do you know?” Nathan asked.

“I don’t know… Didn’t she say that she is only doing morning running and boxing?” Gussie said, but she really didn’t know who Natalie was practicing martial arts with.

Nathan said lightly. “Don’t play dumb. She followed you to chase the van. She can’t have such physical fitness just by practicing long-distance running!”

Gussie said, “She doesn’t want to say it, and then of course, I can’t force her!”

Nathan nodded and let go of this matter.

Natalie insisted on changing her life and striving to become stronger. Then, she naturally had her way, and he couldn’t interfere too much.

“It was too thrilling today. The kidnapper is so powerful. He should be a master of Hidden Force. When I fought with him, I felt like I was pricked by a cactus,” Gussie said and was still a little shaken up.

Fortunately, she was a good learner, and she trained hard during this period, so she made rapid progress. Otherwise, she might have been beaten to death by the opponent.

Nathan said, “Tell me about your combat process today, and I will evaluate it.”

Gussie talked about her combat process in detail. Hearing it, Nathan nodded again and again.

She was just a beginner in martial arts. It was no easy task for her to persist for such a long time. Besides, she overcame her fear and made a sneak attack, killing one of the kidnappers with a stone.

”Write your ‘Guidance on Combat’. It should record all the combat processes. Then, you can always read it to figure out how to improve,” Nathan said calmly.

“I see!” Gussie couldn’t help getting excited secretly, hoping that one day she could write a “Guidance on Combat” comparable to Nathan’s.

Nathan taught Gussie by heart and even showed her his precious “Guidance on Combat”, which recorded his style, tactics, routines, and habits against the enemy.

If it fell into the hands of his enemies, they would more or less develop some tactics that could be used to defeat him. Also, thanks to it, Gussie could do well in the life-and-death fight today. Although she failed to win, she was not killed anyway, and she delayed time.

Nathan said, “People who practice martial arts have the courage on a sudden impulse, but it wasn’t always good to be courageous. So, there is a saying among the fist practitioners. That is to train the brain… It means that you need to train your brain to be more agile. Sometimes fighting with people is not just a matter of skill level.”

”There have been countless incidents of masters being set up throughout the ages. And that was because they were not smart enough. You’re not smart enough. Maybe because you beat a few gangsters in the combat last time, and it gave you confidence, you forgot to call me about this matter.”

Gussie stuck out her tongue embarrassedly. It was indeed very dangerous today. Fortunately, Natalie called Nathan in advance. Otherwise, both Natalie and she would have been beaten to death. With her martial arts, she couldn’t compete with the kidnapper, and her chances of winning were extremely slim.

Nathan added, “The person you met today is practicing Crane Fist, and some of his moves are related to Wing Chun Group. Fortunately, the terrain is relatively open, and I recently pushed you hard on learning Monkey Fist…”

”If you were in a narrow terrain, you couldn’t have used it, but he could have beaten you to death in minutes because his fist is short, ruthless, and powerful. You used the trick of grabbing the sand and throwing it on the other’s face. It was a good move. A master should make good use of the terrain advantage and win by any means…”

”Martial arts are used for protecting the country and your family. As long as they can help one kill his enemy, one can use them by any means.”

Nathan made a summary of Gussie’s combat today and felt that as an apprentice, Gussie gratified him.

She started to learn martial arts not long ago. It was not easy to fight back and forth with a master of Hidden Force who practiced Crane Fist. If it was Julian who met the same situation, he would have been beaten to death several times by only using martial arts without working with the skills he had learned in the army.

After receiving Nathan’s praise, Gussie felt elated and unconsciously stood back straight, which pleased the eyes of the pervert beside her.

Nathan brought Gussie back home, and coincidentally, Hannah was also at home.

“Why are you in such a mess? Were you bullied again?” Hannah asked in surprise.

“Not this time. We did someone a great favor and did a great deed!” Nathan said with a smile.

Then, he asked Gussie to sit down first.

Gussie smiled bitterly and said, “I was almost beaten to death, but fortunately, Mr. Evans arrived in time and saved my life…”

Hannah was shocked and said, “Did you find someone to compete in martial arts? You are just a beginner. How dare you fight with others?” Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Nathan said, “Mr. Hopp’s daughter was kidnapped today. Gussie saved her life. And she did it well.”

Hannah was extremely surprised and pestered Gussie to tell her what had happened.

Gussie was a person with high EQ. Knowing that the relationship between Hannah and Natalie was rather strange, she directly took the latter out of the story and brought it all up to her.

Nathan took out the medicine box. He couldn’t help laughing when he heard Gussie making up the story. He thought it was all for the best. Hannah wouldn’t harbor a grudge. Besides, during the holidays, Gussie went shopping with Natalie, and she didn’t invite her, which made her think too much.

“It’s too dangerous, but you really have guts!” Hannah exclaimed, feeling that this story was very exciting.

“Hmm… Practicing the fist really brings me courage. I will continue to work hard,” Gussie said happily.

Nathan asked Gussie to take off the redundant clothes, leaving only the innermost woolen sweater. This woolen sweater was slightly tight, which outlined her sexy figure.

Because Hannah was also present, this made Gussie a little embarrassed, but it was also beneficial, at least, Nathan would not dare to blatantly tease her!

Gussie slowly pulled up her left sleeve.

Seeing it, Hannah couldn’t help taking a breath.

“The palm just now hit the tendons, and the Hidden Force penetrated the body, causing the stagnation of Spiritual Energy and Blood. But it’s not serious…” Nathan took her arm and looked at it carefully.

His eyes indistinctly passed over her breast. He couldn’t restrain himself.

Gussie seemed to be aware of something, and her face turned redder.

Nathan put down her arm and took out the prepared potion from the medicine box, followed by a silver needle and a gold thread as thin as a hair.

“During dealing with your wounds today, I will tell you about the Buddhist ‘Wash You’, which may give you more insights,” Nathan said.

In fact, after this combat, he looked at Gussie differently and felt that he needed to speed up the teaching progress and give her all he had.
