Chapter 410 Do You Know Who He Is?
His reaction was too intense that even Evelyn had to ask, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
"Uh...," Greg fell silent, not knowing whether Evelyn was being serious or joking.
That's Gary, the former martial arts prodigy. How could he end up with Evelyn, as if he's just an ordinary person?
He tried to calm himself down and then asked her, "You know who he is?"
Evelyn shook her head, saying, "Not really. My grandfather said he was very skilled in martial arts, so he hired him as my teacher, but as for the rest, I didn't ask further."
Actually, at that time, Evelyn had many teachers, but apart from the time they spent learning together, they didn't spend much time together.
After finishing their lessons, the teachers would leave and be busy, and Evelyn rarely saw them again.
Of course, there were exceptions.
Outside, they occasionally come to Tara Village for a short stay, but only when grandpa was still alive. After he passed away, she seldom saw them. She was quite surprised to see Gary when she came back to Tara Village last time.
"He's not just amazing, you know. He used to be a legendary figure in the martial arts world. Even someone like me who hasn't stepped into that industry knows his name. You should understand how incredible he is," Greg couldn't help but admire. Having someone like Gary as Evelyn's teacher explains why she's so skilled.
Evelyn pursed her lips and nodded in agreement, "He truly is amazing."
Greg: ...
Is this the point?
"Don't you find it strange to have someone like Gary as your teacher?" Greg hadn't met Evelyn's grandpa, but this whole thing didn't seem normal in any way.
Frowning, Evelyn glanced at Greg, understanding the implication behind his words, "Grandpa said he was just an idle old man, nowhere else to go, so he came to our village for a vacation. He didn't mention how skilled he was."
She wondered if Greg had mistaken something. Maybe her Gary and the one he's talking about are different people.
Greg sighed, "Well, that's because of what happened..."
"What happened?" Evelyn looked confused, gazing at Greg.
Staring back at her, he didn't know how to explain it.
After a moment of silence, he could only say, "You should search online yourself. That incident caused quite a stir back then, and you should be able to find information about it."
Evelyn was stunned. To be honest, she had never thought about investigating the people around her. She believed they were trustworthy, so she didn't see the need to dig into their backgrounds.
Greg's words piqued her interest, though. Perhaps things weren't as simple as they seemed.
"Your grandpa could know such a person, even if he had fallen from grace. Not just anyone can hire him as a teacher," Greg's grandpa never even had to think twice. He knew how unattainable Gary was.
Silent, Evelyn vaguely felt like she was starting to understand something.
Seeing her silence, Greg continued, "You've been asking me what my purpose is, claiming to be an ordinary person. But think about it, if you were just an ordinary person, could you hire Gary as your teacher?"
"And based on your words, you have many other teachers, perhaps experts in various fields. Have you ever wondered why?"
Greg's questions caught Evelyn off guard. She couldn't argue, because deep down, she also wanted to know why.
Why could her grandpa hire those people as his teachers?
Weren't they just a normal grandfather and granddaughter living in Tara Village? How could they attract so many talented individuals to come and teach her?
