Chapter 112

Seven years have passed. Archer’s memory of Natasha’s appearance from back then gradually blurred.

However, he always remembered the heavy rain they watched together, and the side profile of Natasha looking up at the sky under the eaves.

When he saw her at Lane’s funeral, he recognized her almost instantly.

Natasha actually hadn’t changed much in appearance since high school. If anything, she had matured a bit and become more radiant.

Natasha back then was beautiful yet shrouded in gloom.

It once made Archer feel that she might, at some point, be swallowed by the darkness that surrounded her.

Even that brief encounter allowed him to gather a lot of information.

He had seen too many cicada nymphs that failed halfway through hatching. Her growth faced too many obstacles.

She looked at him as if he were a stranger.

He wasn’t surprised.

Back then, he developed skin allergies from outdoor work and always wore a mask during the competition.

Additionally, they had never exchanged a single word.

Archer occasionally wondered what would have happened if he had initiated a conversation with her back then.

Their unfortunate intersections and missed opportunities seemed destined.

When he finally realized he could have taken a step closer, she already had another man in her life.

Alexei was Archer’s cousin in name, but he was actually Archer’s nephew in truth.

Archer was familiar with Alexei’s name.

He had heard of him a long time ago.

Countless people hated and feared him, while countless others admired and revered him.

Alexei was like an insurmountable mountain, devoid of emotion or love, looking down on the world with cold indifference.
