…
Seeing the history of this man, Nathan's eyes constricted but it immediately came back to normal as if nothing happened.
He looked at Lester with a scrutinizing gaze.
'Hmm, I did not expect that the man that Cardo would bring was such a big man.' Nathan said,
Feeling his inspecting gaze, Lester still has this naive smile on his face, not daring to look directly in Nathan's eyes like he was shy.
Just at this time, Cardo hurriedly approached Nathan.
When he got close, in a low voice that only the two of them can hear, he whispered, "Boss, those fruits you gave me yesterday were awesome!"
Saying that, he stepped back a little and stood, as if telling Nathan to see the changes in him.
Turning his eyes at him, now that Nathan looked at him, he was able to see some obvious changes in Cardo's body.
One of them was his looks.
Before, Cardo already looked like an old man in his 70s that is already close to his death.
But now, just after a day, he turned into a middle aged man around 30 to 40 years old!
Besides that, Cardo also seems to have gained some weight as his body became more buff as muscles appeared.
His complexion turned better.
With all those changes, it was as if Cardo became younger!
But that's not all.
Nathan used appraisal to see the real changes those Null Fruits brought to Cardo.

…
After seeing that improvement in Cardo's physique, Nathan nodded in satisfaction.
'Uhumm, it's better than Lester's who has a nickname in the mercenary world.' He thought.
He looked at Cardo and said, "It seems like you did not waste it. That's good."
He patted him on the shoulders and said, "Work hard in the future and you will have a lot of good things."
Cardo can't help but become more excited, "Yes, Boss!"
After that, they sat down on their seats.
Nathan did bother ordering anything this time since he will leave immediately after looking at this man brought by Cardo anyway.
Sitting down, seeing that Nathan is staring at Lester, Cardo started to introduce him.
"Boss, this is Lester, he's the one I'm talking about yesterday. Uhm, I don't know your criteria but I can guarantee that Lester is a good person."
Cardo said, at the end of his words, he has a serious look on his face while looking directly at Nathan's eyes.
Nathan did not immediately speak and just continued looking at Lester.
After a while, he turned his eyes to Cardo and opened his mouth.
He asked with a playful smile, "Are you really sure that you know him well?"
Cardo was confused by Nathan's question.
But as an ex policeman, Cardo's logic and deduction is better than the normal people.
That's why when Nathan asked with a playful smile, he immediately smelled that there's something wrong.
Cardo's expression gradually became solemn as he turned to look at Lester sitting beside him.
"Is there something you're hiding from me, Lester?" He asked.
At this time, Lester already has his head down so the two can't see his expression.
Hearing Cardo questioned him, Lester did not answer.
He raised his head up and looked at Nathan. The naive look on his face previously has been replaced by an ice-cold expression.
"Who are you?" He asked in a grave tone.
Nathan smiled, "Me? You don't know me so don't bother asking."
Looking at his attitude, Lester seems to have been pissed and looked at him fiercely.
He said, "Look here, I ain't playing with you. Don't think that just because there's a lot of people here I won't do anything to you."
"Now tell me, who sent you!?" He asked with a threatening tone.
In his life as 'Reaper', Lester has gathered all kinds of achievements and some of them inevitably offended some people.
Because of that, 'Reaper' has as many enemies as his achievements.
Some of them are very powerful people.
That is why even if he has the capabilities to live a very comfortable life, he chose to live in the suburbs where the poor mostly are.
It was also to protect his family from those people.
Now from the simple words of Nathan earlier as well as his expression, Lester can't help but think of his enemies.
That's why the first response that he thought of was to confront it fiercely.
But this time, he chose the wrong answer.
Just after he finished his words, Nathan's face turned cold and the next moment, Lester felt like there was something strangling him.
"Ukh.. no, kukh!"
He gazed at Nathan with an incredulous look on his face.
Then, while coldly staring at Lester's slowly turning purple figure, Nathan said,
"You know, what I hate the most are people that dares to threaten me. The last one that did that was immediately put on the news last night."
When they heard that, for some reason, both Lester and Cardo suddenly thought of the news about the terrorists last night killed by an unidentified person.
Immediately, their eyes can't help but show a look of realization.
'It was him!'
