Chapter 86
At this moment, Henry’s heart seemed to be suddenly clenched by a pair of invisible strong hands
It was as if a death knell had been ringing in his ears continuously.
It was about to make Henry’s soul out of his body
The small possibility that had almost been forgotten by Henry was like a thorn stuck in the small wound in his heart.
The wound was torn and expanded, forming a huge scar.
Blood gushed out
Henry had once wondered if Jane’s powerful hacking technology was related to Queen.
After all, Jane knew Andy and Hugh Croft, but Henry didn’t know how deep their relationship was.
Henry had ever thought that Jane was Queen herself, so she had many sock puppets, resources, and channels as well as power hacking technology.
But this idea had only appeared in Henry’s brain for a moment.
Then it had been completely denied by him.
How could the most powerful Queen in the Darknet be a wandering, mean girl who was only 19 years old and just a sophomore?
It must be a coincidence.
Henry must have thought too much.
Perhaps Queen had already arrived at Revolve Cafe.
However, Henry hadn’t recognized her,
Or Queen couldn’t come because she had something to do temporarily.
Henry gave himself countless psychological hints.
Only then did he take out his phone.
However, his fingertips were still trembling while they were poking at the phone screen.
It took him 30 seconds to unlock the phone.
He opened the message from Queen of the Darknet.
Queen, I surrender, little apprentice. Im afraid we are not so destined. I have been waiting for you for an hour at Revolve Cafe. I hope you haven’t come yet, so I didn’t recognize you.]
Henry subconsciously glanced at Jane.
Then he replied with a message.
HF said, [Teacher, I’m already inside Revolve Cafe. Where are you?]
There was a tinkle..
Henry couldn’t hear the Darknet’s special prompt tone from Jane’s mobile phone because it was noisy in the cafe.
However, one second after Henry had sent the message, he saw Jane taking out her mobile phone. It seemed that she had received a message.
When she saw the message from HF., she frowned without leaving a trace.
Then, she started tapping on her phone screen,
Thump, thump….
Henry’s heart began to beat uncontrollably.
Everything around him was like smoke and ***.
At the moment, Henry only had eyes for Jane, who was replying to the message
The people and things around were all nothingness.
Unknowingly, cold sweat trickled down his forehead.
Gradually, his entire body was drenched.
“That’s impossible.
“God, you can’t joke with me about this.
“How can Jane Fowler.be Queen? Queen is both my teacher and belief like the sun.”
This was his biological young sister. He hated her the most. He wanted her to die. He ignored her and treated her coldly
“She can’t be Queen! Absolutely not!”
Henry prayed crazily in his heart.
He was even willing to exchange his lifespan for it!
“Don’t give me such a cruel reality!”
However, Jane finished typing the message.
There was a tinkle
The prompt tone that could make Henry despair sounded again.

Henry’s blood started to turn cold as he was looking at his mobile phone numbly
Queen sent, [I’m sitting in the corner by the window. My hair is not so long. I’m wearing a brown windbreaker, jeans, and sneakers. Don’t be surprised. Actually, I’m only 19 years old, Hahaha]
She had provided enough information.
No matter how unwilling Henry was to admit it, he had to accept this almost absurd truth.
Henry’s eyes dully moved away from the phone.
He looked at Jane, who was sitting by the window.
Jane was in the sun, and her eyebrows slightly rose. Her small white face without makeup was soaked in the light of the warm autumn sun and seemed to be coated with a layer of sacred and inviolable light.
Her cherry-like lips curled up slightly. Her eyes were shining, and her eyelashes were long and curly. Her long hair had been cut off years ago because of what Peter had said. Now her hair began to grow again as time went by.
Peter Fowler was right. Jane looked beautiful with long hair. Her hair was thick, soft, smooth, black, and bright, much more beautiful than Madelyn Fowler’s long hair.
Jane felt a little uncomfortable.
She glanced around casually.
She saw Henry holding his phone in one hand.
He stared at her with an indescribable gaze.
Jane could say nothing
“What should I do?”
Now Jane wanted to rush over pick up the coffee on the table, and splash it in Henry’s face.
“Why is this ****fellow staring at me like this?”
Her mood had become bad
Jane really wanted to leave now, but she was worried that H F. couldnt find her.
At this moment, the waiter noticed Henry’s abnormality
“Mr. Fowler, is there anything wrong?”
Henry suddenly seemed to have woken up from a dream.
He shivered all over
He couldn’t even hold his phone properly, and it fell heavily to the ground.
There was a crackle.
People looked at Henry in surprise.
What was going on?
The waiter also said worriedly, “Mr. Flower?”
“L… I’m fine…”
Henry quickly squatted down and wanted to pick up the phone.
However, the phone screen displayed the message interface of the Darknet
The message was from Queen.
Henry’s heart skipped a beat.
He couldn’t help but look at Jane
Jane’s eyes were fixed on Henry’s phone screen.
Her eyes were filled with disbelief.
Gradually, they seemed to be covered with layers of frost.
They were bone-chilling cold.
Now Henry felt as if a needle had pierced his heart.
The needle stirred wildly
Henry felt so painful that he almost suffocated.
His mind went blank.
He pushed the waiter away and rushed out of Revolve Cafe
He completely ignored the waiter’s cry of surprise. “Mr. Fowler!”
Henry rushed into the crowd and kept running.
People looked at Henry strangely
He was such a handsome and imposing man.
Why was he running as if he had been being chased?
Henry didn’t care and rushed out of the sidewalk
“Hey’ Red light!”
Someone exclaimed.
Henry came back to his senses.
A car sped towards him
It bumped into him
Fuck! Do you want to die?”
Fortunately, the driver had stepped on a sharp brake.
Henry only suffered superficial injuries.
The driver got out of the car and cursed.
Henry limped out of the sidewalk as if he couldn’t have heard him.
Henry didn’t feel relieved until he found a deserted alley.
Then his whole body seemed to be drained of strength
He collapsed on the ground with his eyes blank.
His my sophobia had gone
Henry didn’t care how dirty the ground was
He felt that his soul had been severely injured and that he was being pinched by a pair of strong hands
His entire body trembled uncontrollably.
He breathed hard. His heart was about to explode, and his chest kept fluctuating
“It was unacceptable.”
Henry couldn’t accept this reality.
How Henry wished it had just been a dream!
It was just a nightmare!
However, his heart that was about to explode, his rapid breathing, and the pain he could not swallow reminded him all the time that this was not a nightmare.
This was the reality.
It was a reality that Henry was unwilling to accept until his death, but he could not escape it!
At this moment, Henry’s phone rang again with the special prompt tone of the Darknet.
He breathed hard and built up his psychological defense.
He knew who had sent the message.
He no longer had the courage to open Queen’s message.
After realizing that Queen was Jane, Henry felt that his life had become a joke.
He was a complete clown.
He was self-righteously chasing after his own light and belief
