Serene Silas, who used to be closest to his heart, and was even pregnant with his child, couldn't recognize him either.
Even the President, who claimed to be his best friend, couldn't recognize him.
Before Nathaniel Cooper came, he already knew who the person he was going to meet was, but he still couldn't recognize him. It could be imagined how thoroughly his face had changed.
Jackie curled his lips and a cold sneer appeared on his face. He looked Nathaniel without blinking an eye and observed every subtle change in his expression. "Mr. President, what can I do for you?"
At the same time, Nathaniel was also staring at the man before him. He was dressed in black, and the mask on his face was also black.
Not only that, the theme of the room was mainly black. The decorations and the furnishing in the room were all in black.
In Nathaniel's memory, Jackie hated the color black the most.
Jackie often said that black made people feel depressed, which also represented the color of death. This was why all the furnishings in Jackie's residence were always bright in colour.
However, not only he was wearing black clothes now, but the decorations in the study room was also in the colour that he had hated the most.
What did he suffer the past year, that not only his face and voice changed, but also his preferences?
Perhaps it was not that he liked black now, but the color could hide his true feelings, which made him undetectable by the enemy as he hid in the darkness.
He had no choice but to hide in the darkness.
After looking at each other for a long time, Nathaniel restrained the surging emotions in his heart and shouted out the name that he was so familiar with, "Jackie Leves!"
When he heard the name, Jackie's body trembled a little, he looked at Nathaniel with a different look in his eyes.
Nathaniel walked up to him and punched him in the chest, just like the way they usually greeted each other when they met. "You're finally back."
He had been waiting for him for a year, and he was finally back!
Jackie was stunned again!
Nathaniel recognized him?
Jackie did not hide. He was still looking at Nathaniel. He could see that Nathaniel was very certain when he called out his name. There was no trace of doubt in his voice.
Did Nathaniel really recognize him?
Jackie asked himself as he stared at Nathaniel's face to look for the answer he wanted.
"I'm sorry!" Nathaniel said again.
These simple words contained so much apology. A year ago, the Leves family was exterminated because of him.
Jackie had gone missing for a year, and Nathaniel hadn't been able to find him. He had thought multiple times that Jackie might have already died in that big fire.
But what he believed more was that Jackie would survive the fire, and that he was not dead. That was why he had taken care of his beloved woman for him until the day he is back again so that he could hand her over to him safe and sound.
That was the only thing he could do for his brother who was willing to give up his life for him.
He had been Jackie's brother for more than 20 years, but he had made Jackie suffer so much. It was really not something that could be made up with just a mere apology.
However, except for these words, Nathaniel really didn't know what else he could say to Jackie at that instant. No matter what he said, it still wouldn't make up to him and the Leves family.
"Sorry?" Jackie withdrew his thoughts and said with a faint smile, "We are only meeting for the first time. What is there for you to be sorry about, Mr. President?"
Because he wanted to be the president, so he had joined hands with the others to wipe out the Leves family ?
Or was it because he took advantage of his best friend's absence, and snatched his best friend's woman?
