Chapter 498
The Greatest Man Alive
âLetâs play!â Evelyn walked directly to George and said solemnly.
George was stunned for a moment and then shook his head. âForget it, the three rounds yesterday have already made me very tired. My brain canât work nowâ¦â
Evelyn said with a gloomy expression, âThatâs so shameless. How can you refuse me after you won?â
George smiled and said, âI was just lucky enough to beat you a quarter-point, donât be so fussy. Canât you afford to lose?â
Evelyn took a deep breath and then said to George with a fake smile, âYou approached me because you want to see my sister Flora, right? If you play Go with me, I will let you see her!â
Flora Mendez was the ultimate weapon of the Mendez Family. It was said that her strength was still stronger than Ralphâs. George had always been very curious about this woman.
Evelyn was right, he did get close to her for Flora!
George would not be so stupid as to play Go with Evelyn on the spot. It was not him playing the three rounds with her yesterday. Of course, George never thought that Jadeâs playing skills would be so terrifying that she could win two rounds in a row after losing one round first.
âI also really want to play Go with you, but Iâm not a professional player after all, and my mental exhaustion is very serious. Letâs play it when Iâm free,â George said with a smile.
Evelynâs expression darkened, and she reached out to grab Georgeâs forearm. But at this moment, George waved his hand, drew a circle, and retracted it.
Evelyn took a step forward and punched him in the face, but George moved away slightly and wiped her fist away softly.
âYou are indeed good at Tai Chi,â Evelyn said expressionlessly.
Her attack just now was just to test whether George really knew Tai Chi, and what he did was enough to explain it. Now she was very sure that the person who had played against her yesterday was George.
A person could be judged by his playing style or the style of boxing.
In the two rounds of games she lost yesterday, the opponents played the way of using softness to overcome strength. Evelyn recognized the spirit of Tai Chi George played today.
âWho are you? Donât disturb our practice,â Morine stepped forward at this time and said coldly.
âExcuse me?â Evelyn turned to Morine and said with a smile, âYou feel that youâre good enough to challenge me now?â
Morineâs eyes turned cold, and she said, âDo you want to try me now?â
George blocked them, waved his hands, and said, âDonât fight with her, this woman is playing hard Tai Chi, you are no match for herâ¦â
George had seen how Evelyn threw out a gangster last time, and he was very clear about her ability.
Morineâs level at present was not good enough to compete with her.
âHow do you know that?â Morine said.
After being tempered in Devendill Prison, her personality had become a lot tougher, and she spoke much more flinty than usual. Evelyn didnât pay any attention to Morine, but said to Joe, âWhen will you play Go with me?â
George said lazily, âAnother day. See you online when Iâm free.â
Evelyn felt it was strange, so she asked, âWhy canât we play offline?â
George said without any guilt, âIâm very busy. How could have time to sit down and play Go with you?â
Evelyn thought about it and felt it made sense. She walked away with the chessboard on her back, and her ponytail flicked back and forth in a very rhythmic way. Her back made people feel very fresh and refined.
âIs she good?â Morine frowned and said in a puzzled tone, âWhy canât I feel it?â
âShe is Evelyn Mendez, a professional level-3 player in Go. She is probably influenced by Go, so you canât feel her fierce aura of a warrior. She looks weak, but if you really want to fight, you are really no match for her⦠She can throw a strong man meters away with a single stroke,â George smiled at Morine and explained seriously.
Julian also nodded aside and said, âThis woman is really dangerous. I have been in the special forces for many years, and I have a natural intuition. I feel that a fierce tiger is sleeping in this womanâs body.
Once it wakes up, it will be terrifying⦠Sometimes, you canât tell a person from her appearance.â
George felt that Julian was being pretentious when he heard this, so he kicked his ass and said, âStop your stuff and nonsense. Keep going on your basic training!â
Julian felt so aggrieved. He kept doing his basic training honestly, but he complained wildly in his heart.
Morine sighed, âLever-3 in Go, and she is also so good in force. It seems that she is really a geniusâ¦
There are people and people!â
George tilted his head to look at her and said, âStop your humblebrag!â
Morine said in surprise, âMe? Humblebrag?â
George said, âYou graduated from Stanford and served as the secretary of the board of directors of Poly Capital. You have over a million annual salary and the talent for practicing martial arts. Why should you envy others?â
Julian nodded repeatedly to express his agreement. After all, George made Morine practice more, and he couldnât even finish the basic training.
Morine was stunned for a moment and then said a little embarrassedly, âIt seems that Iâm also good!â
Hearing at Morineâs words George was speechless for a moment.
âThere a metaphysical level in cultivating. Know yourself, know the world, know all living beings.
Knowing yourself, means that you should realize your insignificance in the world, but you shouldnât belittle yourself for that. Having an invincible heart is the most important thing.â George looked at Morine and gave her a lesson.
âActually, I think this should be reversed. Know all living beings, know the world, and finally, know yourself. Youâll appreciate the ups and downs of life when you are trying to know all living beings. And when you go to know the world, youâll see the vastness of the universe and the magnificence of the gods. Finally, youâll know how small you are, and you should keep a heart of reverence forever to keep your bottom line of morality.â
Moraine was a top student who graduated from Stanford and had also taken high-level philosophy courses. After hearing what George said, she couldnât believe that he would say such profound things.
It was like she heard an old professor say, âThe more knowledgeable I am, the more I believe in God. I believe that he created everything, and then I am in awe. Therefore, I can regard all living beings as equal to mine. I have a heart of awe, so I donât believe in the power and donât get lost in desire. The end of philosophy is theology.â
Compared to what George said just now, there were similarities between those words.
At this time, she realized something and thought.
No wonder the highest state of martial arts is to break the void and see the godsâ¦
After the morning exercise, George invited Julian and Morine to breakfast at the entrance of the park as usual. However, before they finished breakfast, George received a call from the manager of the storage and transportation department.
âMr. Evans, something happened. The people from the health bureau stopped all our trucks, saying that they had received a report that we were transporting illegal drugs, and they needed to do a routine checking,â the manager said in a hurry.
When George heard that, he was furious.
This Mr. MacMillan is taking the road to ruin!
