At that time, they were young and naive.
After being rescued by Felix, Natalia didn't know anyone in the team. Facing a new strange world, Natalia was frightened and even a little scared.
At that time, there was no light in Natalia's eyes, just like a pitiful hedgehog, hiding in the corner alone.
Felix felt that Natalia couldn't do this, so one day, Felix gathered all the people.
Everyone gathered together and looked at Natalia as if she was a rare gorilla. Felix asked who was willing to be her friend, and everyone was a little embarrassed.
Summer was the first to stand out.
At that time, Summer smiled so brightly.
Summer was like a small sun when she approached Natalia, instantly dispelling the haze on Natalia's body.
Summer stretched out her white palm and said to Natalia with a smile, "Hello, my name is Summer. Welcome to be friends with me."
That scene had been deeply engraved in Natalia's mind.
It was very funny. They looked like children in kindergarten learning how to make friends under the guidance of their teachers.
She felt so warm, as if she would never forget it for the rest of her life.
Summer was touched. She looked at Natalia as if she saw herself from a long time ago through Natalia's face.
Natalia said in a low voice, "Summer, you were the first person to approach me. I thought we would be good friends for a lifetime, but this time, you really hurt me. Do you know how I felt when I saw Archie lying in a pool of blood?
"You experienced the feeling of losing the most loved person. But you want to add the same experience to me. Do you feel guilty?"
Natalia's voice was so soft as if it was weightless.
But Summer felt as if her chest was pressed by a heavy stone, making her breathless.
Natalia looked at Summer's red eyes. After a while, she suddenly got up and walked out.
Summer was shocked.
"Natalia!"
Summer shouted toward Natalia with her hoarse voice. Natalia stopped but did not turn around.
Then, Natalia heard Summer's almost inaudible voice.
"It is Violet Group that asks me to assassinate Archie."
Natalia was shocked.
She turned around in disbelief and stared at Summer fiercely. After a few seconds, she said, "Are you sure?"
Summer smiled sadly.
"I am very sure. I've been with him for several years. You don't know that three years ago, when the Dragon Club split for the first time, I was excluded, so I have to secretly surrender to the Violet Group.
He is my direct leader, so all the tasks I carry out are ordered by him, including the assassination of Archie. I don't want to, but he promises as long as I finish this task, he will let me go.
Natalia, I'm too tired. I am tired of killing for so many years. I don't want to race anymore, and I want to settle down."
I just want to have a normal life. I am willing to do anything for this goal, even if he asks me to kill people."
When Natalia listened to Summer's nagging, she didn't say anything.
Summer looked up at Natalia, "Archie offends someone. Even if I don't kill him, they will send someone to do it. There is no difference, right?"
"No, there's a difference."
Natalia said, "You're my friend, but they're not."
