153. Nathaniel Pope 2
Nathaniel Pop had never been a timid coward, at least he thought so. From a street fighter as a child to a low-key boss now, Natle asked himself, had he ever been scared in those countless thrilling moments?
No, even if he was the internal response to the criminal police at the beginning, he was not afraid of the two shadows that had been entrenched in North Las Vegas in the past, and at the last moment when his crucial and thrilling identity was almost exposed.
It wasn't because he was so confident, not because he had the courage to do it, and not because he did it for Theorod - at that time he was probably not so "interested" in his old friend, and of course there might have been a little bit of his reason - in fact, what really calmed him was that he knew in his heart that at this point, whatever happened, was expected, and he knew the consequences of these consequences the moment he took the risk.
This is Nattel, sometimes he likes to think about these consequences clearly, probably from the moment when he was a child when he was fighting and found that as long as he was like a mad dog, very few people dared to resist him head-on, he began to like to think about these things silently in his heart, knowing the ending, naturally he was not afraid of anything.
But if he had to say what he would have feared in the first half of his life, Nattel thought about it carefully, and he found an answer that made him laugh dumbly and helplessly.
Theolod Recht, his fears are inseparable from this name. Nattle had tried to add other things to the name that might have scared him, such as enemy threats to his family, but what made him even more helpless was that these only made him angry rather than fearful - he could make anyone who dared to do something to his family regret living in this world, at least with his current power, as long as he was in North Las Vegas, he could make those bastards disappear, let alone beat them, which he could control.
But Theorod, he can't control zhì.
At some point, the cowardly boy he knew was gone—a boy who had never frightened his fearless brother. Maybe there is worry, after all, the vegetable head was too weak in the past, as long as he is not by his side, anyone can bully him.
But damn it, he's never been so "scared" of having a qiē about him as he is now.
Ever since he was persuaded by him to be part of his team, there were more things that scared Nattell.
He was "afraid" that his heart was calm and calm, as if nothing from the outside world could cause any waves in his heart, including him, he was afraid that he had become a person who was no longer special to him, and that position he gave the movie.
He was "afraid" of the uncontrollable changes in his heart, he knew what the consequences were, he thought clearly as before, but he was still afraid, he tried to move forward, but his courage was too much more careful than before.
He was "afraid" of his growing condition, yes, Natel admitted, and this time he also knew what the end result would be if Theolod went on like this, and this result scared him, and he didn't even dare to imagine the day if he lost him.
His fears were too many, but what scared him the most was the growing gap between the two of them. It is undeniable that when Theorod decided to chase his ideals, the two of them were on two paths ever since.
In addition to Theorod, Natel has many good fox friends and dogs, and some of them are even closer than Theorod. The sky changed in North Las Vegas, and the moment he was imprisoned, they and he were also people on the same two paths in a certain way, and they gradually faded from each other. At that time, Nattle was very open, and the best friends he could lose were not close friends, and he had seen a lot of separations and reunions, and he never cared, so he didn't say anything to those friends who were drifting apart.
But when this person becomes Theorod, it changes in a qiē.
For some reason, Natl did not want to lose, and was even afraid of losing this "friend". While he was still in prison and tried and failed to distance himself from Theorod, he was vaguely aware that the place of that person in his heart had quietly changed. He didn't know what caused this change, maybe it was the look, the look that made him realize what he should hold on to in his life, or the smile that was indifferent and gentle but extremely strong......
He tried to close the distance between the two, but it seemed ...... Theolod was never prepared to give him a chance to cross that ditch.
But no, Natle is not one to wait for someone else to offer an opportunity. He knew that Theolod offered him a job just so that he could have a decent job and reintegrate into society, but he probably didn't think that Natel didn't need the so-called "integration", he was born in this society, he grew up in this society, what he was good at was never a decent job like an administrative assistant, he had his own strengths.
And he worked in that stupid Reggie's black shop, not because he couldn't find a job, but because he had just come out, and he didn't want to grab his prosecutor by the pigtails and find out what he really wanted to do — a man like him could never get away from North Las Vegas.
Nattel's casino was built after careful consideration, starting with a small underground casino and using it as his intelligence terminal. This is not difficult at all, although he dropped out of school early and knows nothing about management, but these informal casinos do not need the so-called management theory knowledge at all, this is North Las Vegas instead of the famous gambling city, and the casinos here are also a little more "wild" than Las Vegas.
Without two mountains overhead, the gangsters of North Las Vegas were like they were freeing themselves for a moment, and before Natle's return, the forces here were so mixed that they even used the streets as the boundaries of the gangs' spheres of influence. And after Nattle's return, it didn't take long for him to move from the previous third place to the first place.
There is no need to go into detail about the various intrigues, gang fights, and collusion with the FBI, etc., in short, when he came back with Theolod to find Bob's tattoo, in the whole of North Las Vegas, not many people dared to provoke him head-on, and his news network was like countless thin threads, strung together the entire chaotic city, and gathered in the hands of Nattle.
It hardly took him a word for someone to offer to hand over the car keys to him so that he could move around his city. Not to mention the ease with which he could easily get a large amount of previously unimaginable poisons/substances, and easily blame Reggie for the wrong person.
Now, there are also people who are willing to squat for him in prison for a few days and "take care" of Reggie.
It's just that Natl didn't want to show this side of himself in front of Theolod before. Look at what he looked like when he was acting, when Natle watched Theorod's performance up close for the first time on the set, saw him go out of his way to act, and saw his incomparably bright and incomparably beautiful eyes once again reveal that familiar and unfamiliar emotion, Natel realized for the first time that Theorod in front of the camera was so vivid standing under the lights on the set.
He shouldn't belong to Natle's world, he should only live in his dreams, and he, he just needs to build walls for him. Although the anger and eagerness at the time caused Nattle to beat the crew on the set, it was the injury that made Theorod realize it, and Theorod could even ignore the almost stubborn depression for the sake of his dreams and performances.
Time has proved that Nattle is too naïve at this moment, it makes him gradually realize that he is no longer satisfied with simply taking care of this teenager who has been taken care of for nearly ten years with ignorant feelings, he is no longer satisfied with keeping a secret for him, he wants more, he wants him to open his heart to him, he wants his trust, he wants him to re-move a piece of land for him in his heart, a position that can stand side by side with the movie even if it can't replace acting.
And this qiē all started on that day. He drank a little more, and then leaned against the bathroom wall, letting the warm water from the shower sprinkle on his naked/naked body, and he moved his right hand down with ease, resting it on his brother, who was still a little weak.
Soon after, Nattell's eyes snapped open, and his alcohol-fooled brain instantly cleared. He stared horrified at his palms, at the mucus that had been sprayed on his abdomen, and after a few minutes he realized that he had fantasized about masturbating to a man and his friend.
After that, Nattle knew exactly what he wanted.
And Theolod, a guy who doesn't know whether to say high or low EQ, can always make him want to rush over and take him away when filming.
Not to mention that one day after that, when Natel suddenly flipped into the Theorod fan forum that he hadn't entered for a long time on a whim, and in a new section of the forum with a strange "♂" symbol, he saw countless Lalang CP articles with Theorod or the role that Theorod had played and even had a restricted description, Natel, who had never replied to any comments on the forum diving, blew up on the spot, and he just wanted to jump under those articles to start a war, but found that-" We're sorry, but you don't have enough permission points to comment in this section. ”
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why Nattel's eyes were full of hostility when Theolod and Hiss stood together, and after that, when Theorod and Norton promoted "Fight Club" together, whenever Nattle saw Norton, he rolled up his sleeves and went up desperately.
