Chapter 1161

“My dad married into the family. My parents were both research scientists and always at the lab. After I was born, they shipped me off to my aunt’s. Maybe inheriting some of my parents’ natural talents, I coasted into Ventropolis University without putting in much effort…”

Before Blake finished her story, her phone at a side buzzed. The caller ID showed it was Liam. “Oh! How could I forget Liam is also coming over today? Hold on a second. I gotta take this call.”

Kevin glanced at the spot she had just occupied, his gaze deep and unreadable.

‘My past is too horrible to tell her about.’

Kevin had never known his true name. He had grown up in the cold darkness of the criminal underworld, where survival meant following orders and wielding a knife. It had been a harsh world where only the strong survived.

Back then, he and Zach had been involved in illegal trafficking at the border, as fugitives desperate for money. They had crossed paths with undercover government agents and barely escaped the border alive. After their escape, both of them were badly injured.
