Lin Fan spoke about the past events, and his face gradually grew extraordinarily serious!

Although Lin Fan appears to be at the peak of success now, he actually faced many setbacks at the beginning of his journey!

Lin Fan smoked one cigarette after another, and beneath his feet, there were already three cigarette butts; he was now lighting his fourth cigarette! 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

The smoke he exhaled shrouded his face, blurring his expressions, making it hard to read him!

And after Lin Qianxiao heard Lin Fan’s words, her delicate shoulders trembled slightly several times, indicating that Lin Fan’s words deeply affected her!

After taking several deep drags, Lin Fan continued, "Later, the Suicide Squad grew increasingly powerful, many people came to join, and the reputation of the Suicide Squad gradually echoed through the Dark Realm, surpassing one mercenary group after another, becoming a unique existence in the Dark Realm."

"At that time, hardly anyone didn’t know about the Suicide Squad. Anyone claiming to be a member of the Dark Realm who hadn’t heard of the Suicide Squad would be insulting themselves!"

"However, the good times didn’t last because the Suicide Squad infringed on the interests of certain people, suffering several major blows, and many members were assassinated in secret. This is what ignited my fury, marking the beginning of the world-shaking Four Great Wars!"

"Afterward, we received an assignment, and coincidentally, the target was the enemy who killed my brother. In a fit of rage, I led all my brothers to Africa, only to fall into a trap, and many brothers fell in that war!"

At this point, Lin Fan’s eyes slowly filled with bloodshot veins, resembling a beast going wild!

He would always remember when he planned to risk his life; it was his brothers who forcibly pulled him away from the battlefield, leaving a group behind to cover his retreat!

"Protect the boss, you go! Hurry up and get out!"

"It’s worth it to follow the boss in this life, even if it means dying! The boss is our boss; we can die in battle, but the boss cannot!"

"If you guys don’t protect the boss well, then you won’t have the face to meet us in the afterlife!"

These voices still faintly echoed beside Lin Fan’s ears, and Lin Fan would never forget how those brothers risked their lives to ensure his safe departure. There wasn’t a hint of resentment in their final glances!

To have brothers like these in a lifetime, it’s worth it!

This was what Lin Fan told himself before these events happened!

"Afterward, I became furious, gathered all the Suicide Squad brothers together, emptied my savings, hired many mercenaries, and bought a large amount of equipment. I wanted revenge; I couldn’t let the blood of those fallen brothers flow in vain!"

"Subsequently, I led the brothers to create the world-shaking Four Great Wars, later named the Fourth World War!"

"After avenging them, I felt like a directionless boat drifting on the sea. Those years, I wandered aimlessly, leaving my marks in various cities worldwide, as a soulless shell, entangled daily with cigarettes, alcohol, and beauty!"

Lin Fan took a deep breath and continued, "I know you’re still mad at me, mad for why I haven’t contacted you all these years. The first reason is because I didn’t make a name for myself after leaving; I didn’t dare contact you. You know me; I’ve always been headstrong!"

"The second reason is, when things started smoothly for me, the hits came too quickly, leaving me no spare time to reach out to you; my mind was entirely consumed by hatred!"

"The third reason is, after the war ended, I lost my direction in life, began to indulge in a debauched lifestyle. You were so pure, like an untouched fairy, so proud and noble, like a plum blossom standing in the snow. While at that time, I had become filthy and dark; how could I face contacting you?"

"I know these reasons can’t justify anything, but I only want to tell you how I’ve been living these past years. For you, for the love between us, it always remained deep in my heart; I never forgot it. If you truly want to hate me, I regret nothing; then go ahead and hate me, for at least hate can make you remember someone for a lifetime, while forgetting truly erases someone from your mind!"

The words were spoken, yet the room remained deathly quiet!

Lin Qianxiao still had her back turned to Lin Fan; she just stood there quietly, the cold wind blowing in through the open window gently lifting her strands of hair, looking incredibly graceful and alluring!

Lin Fan waited a while; Lin Qianxiao didn’t turn around. Upon seeing this, Lin Fan’s mouth twitched slightly, lifting a self-deprecating, bitter smile.

These years, what he brought Lin Qianxiao was lack of news, while Lin Qianxiao chose to bury the love deeply within her heart. How could a locked window be so easily opened!

"Believe it or not, hate me if you wish, I just want you to remember, I, have never forgotten you!"

Lin Fan said these words heavily.

Then, he removed the burnt-out cigarette from his mouth, flipped his wrist, and extinguished the burning hot cigarette in his palm. With Powerful Qi protecting him, the heat did not harm his palm!

Afterward, Lin Fan didn’t hesitate any longer, turning and walking towards the room’s exit, knowing he should give Lin Qianxiao more time to consider!

Until Lin Fan left the room, and the closed room made a crisp sound, Lin Qianxiao, who had been silently standing there, finally trembled slightly!

Soon, her elegant shoulders trembled repeatedly as if electrified, then she slowly... slowly... turned around!

At this moment, on her exquisitely crafted face, two streams of tears hung down, sparkling tears sliding down her profile, gently dripping onto the ground from her delicate chin!

At this moment, Lin Qianxiao’s heart was like a flipped bottle of mixed flavors, filled with a variety of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy tastes.

First love—it’s an indelible memory engraved in the heart, moreover Lin Qianxiao had only loved Lin Fan all these twenty-plus years!

"Actually... how could I not miss you?"

At this moment, Lin Qianxiao suddenly murmured softly.

Deep in her heart, the iron gates locking "love" trembled lightly, and the locked shackles began to slowly unfasten...
