“I thought you stepped down from intelligence work.”

“Kutpov is responsible for this task. I’m only responsible for helping him contact Celestial Trade. The coordinates of Arrow have been exposed. If everything goes smoothly, he will fly to Finland tomorrow.”

“Hah, that old man. I know—very interesting guy.”

“Interesting? I don’t see anything interesting on his face with as many knife-scars as wrinkles…”

In a villa on the outskirts of Moscow, an old man and a young woman sat across from each other and enjoyed a not-so-family dinner. However, Nikolaev was very content. Since the death of Marina, his family was fragmented. The cold war between the daughter and father had continued till now. The last time they had dinner together was in the distant past.

Both sides knew that this wasn’t each other’s fault but they couldn’t forgive each other. Regardless of what Marina did, she was Natasha’s mother, and she died in Georgia because of his orders. He didn’t expect Natasha to forgive him, even if he believed she could understand him…

Nikolaev looked at his daughter deeply. Natasha stopped moving her fork and touched her face with a frown.

“Is there anything on my face?”

“There are a lot of things, lots of reminders of Marina… Sorry, I shouldn’t mention her name.”

“It’s okay, I know she died. You’re in more pain than me.” Natasha was nonchalant.

Nikolaev forced a smile, pinched his eyebrows, hesitated for a while, and finally spoke the words that had been brewing for a long time.

“Listen, I heard he has many women.”

“Are you not the same?” Natasha sneered.

“This…this isn’t exactly the same…” Nikolaev touched his nose awkwardly after his daughter revealed his private life. “I just hope that you can take care of yourself—”

“I will.”

Nikolaev opened his mouth, but his vocabulary seemed to have disappeared, as nothing came out in the end. He spread his hands and said, “…I hope so.”

This was her own life, and he had no right to interfere too much, even if he was her father. She was already an adult. But if possible, he wanted to see Jiang Chen again. This time, he swore that he would grab Jiang Chen’s neck and beat the wicked and lucky boy.

Looking at her father’s expression, Natasha knew what he was thinking and couldn’t help but sigh.

After a moment of silence, she slowly said, “After some time, I will be there.”

“Oh,” Nikolaev responded with his nasal voice as if he didn’t seem to mind

“Although I have no plans to forgive you… I remember the things you’ve done for me.”

After a pause, Natasha stared at the steak on her plate and said in a casual but forced tone, “Anyway, thank you.”

However, from her slightly trembling voice, she wasn’t calm.

“Thank you…”

The old man smiled and touched his chin full of grease.

He had previously made up his mind that he must beat that guy, but he suddenly changed his mind.
