Chapter 541
Just as Kenneth expected, Boss fell silent upon hearing that.
He could even hear Boss gritting his teeth. It was undeniably a satisfying feeling for the former.
Shortly after, Boss chuckled. “J, what's the point of such meaningless banters? You should do
something more practical if you're a man.”
“Oh? What do you have in mind?” Kenneth questioned in his irritating tone as usual.
“Are you up for a game?” asked Boss.
“A game?” Kenneth repeated with a snicker. “Why not? But what are you going to bet with? What else
do you still have?” Kenneth asked.
Boss was clearly prepared, for he responded confidently, “That reminds me. Have you heard the news
about your woman eliminating people in Vermillion Base? She dealt with the entire army alone. Boy,
she's more powerful than a man. To be honest with you, I was shocked myself.”
Kenneth felt his heart sink when he heard that. He stared into the distance as his dark eyes narrowed.
“What did you say?” he uttered word by word.
Feigning nonchalance, Boss asked, “Huh? You don't know about it? Did she not tell you or did you not
notice her covered in wounds?”
Right then, the image of Natasha's wounds flashed through Kenneth's mind.
His hand around the phone tightened immediately.
Regardless, Kenneth was a rational and calm person. He knew he must not be led blindly by his
emotions.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSwallowing his fury, he gritted, “Is that so?”
“Come on. You don't believe me? It's okay. Someone recorded a video of it. Here, let me send it to
you,” offered Boss.
Soon after, Kenneth's phone dinged with a notification. He unlocked the phone and tapped on the
notification to find the video Boss had sent. In the video, Natasha looked as if she had lost her
rationality from all the killings.
With her hair in a mess and her body covered in bloodstains, she stood on the ground littered with
bodies and pools of blood.
Even though Natasha managed to kill the opponents that lunged at her, the scene still worried Kenneth.
Even his knuckles turned white from gripping the phone too tightly.
After a long time, Kenneth brought the phone back to his ear and asked, “What do you want?”
“What's wrong? Are you worried already? That's only the beginning. I haven't even said what I wanted
to say yet,” sneered Boss.
Kenneth narrowed his eyes and tightened his grip on his phone without saying anything.
“Once that was over, I found a bracelet at the scene. At first, I wanted to get it repaired and return it to
Ms. Watson, but guess what I found inside?” asked Boss.
“If you have something to say just spit it out!” growled Kenneth.
Nonetheless, Boss was unbothered by Kenneth's tone. After all, he had the upper hand. “The bracelet
had a chip. I sent someone to look into it, and apparently, only hackers use this kind of thing. So, tell
me. What does this mean?”
It was at that moment that Kenneth understood what Boss was getting at. The man was suspicious of
Natasha's identity.
Kenneth knew revealing her identity would set off a chain reaction, and many would express their
interest in collaborating with her. Most importantly, she would be in grave danger if she refused them.
Therefore, her identity could never be revealed.
Kenneth knew Boss was merely testing the waters. Even if the latter figured out Natasha was a hacker,
he would never think she was Shadow Seeker. Kenneth's only fear was that Boss would continue
probing into the matter.
At that thought, Kenneth asked, “Are you talking about the bracelet I gave her? What about it? Do you,
perhaps, like it? I can give you two if that's the case.”
“Her bracelet was a gift from you?”
“Is there a problem with that? How else will she be able to send me messages if she doesn't wear it?”
responded Kenneth with a question.
Boss was taken aback. “That's a great question. I don't know what to say to that.”
“Listen here. Stop targeting a woman and just go for me if you're truly a man,” Kenneth gritted out.
“Oh, don't worry. I'll keep looking into this matter. Of course, I won't let you off, either,” declared Boss.
Tightening his grip on the phone, Kenneth interrogated, “You were the one who killed Natasha's
parents, weren't you?”
Kenneth heard a significant pause from the other end of the call.
“I don't know what you're talking about,” Boss refuted immediately.
“Hah... When I was younger, I saw you in front of their door on the day her parents died.”
“You were that boy who passed by?” Boss asked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe corners of Kenneth's lips curled into a smirk. “Looks like you still remember me.”
After a moment of silence, Boss asked, “How did you recognize me?”
“The mark behind your neck.”
Boss was momentarily stunned, and he flashed a smile. “Indeed, I was there that day, but I wasn't the
one who killed them.”
“Then, why did you have blood on you?” asked Kenneth.
Boss fell silent.
“I know you like her, but your denial doesn't prove anything!” Kenneth enunciated.
Boss did not expect Kenneth to be so straightforward. The latter seemed to know everything when
Boss had told him nothing.
Taking a deep breath, Boss argued, “So what if I like her? She's just a woman. To me, she's just a
woman who's a little special. Sure, you can tell her I was the killer, but what can she do about it?”
“I won't tell her,” said Kenneth.
“Oh?”
“Because I'm going to kill you myself,” Kenneth hissed, his voice filled with rage.
Boss' snickers came through the speaker. “I'd like to see if you're really capable of that.”
Without saying anything else, Kenneth hung up and stared into the distance with a furious gaze. It was
as if he was looking right at Boss at that moment.
I'm going to kill him sooner or later. Deep down, he was worried whenever he thought about what
happened to Natasha at Vermillion Base. He even felt the urge to destroy everything.
How on earth did she hold on back then?
His hands trembled as he thought of how those men lunged at her.
It's a good thing they're already dead. Otherwise, I would've made them suffer more.
While thinking about that, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder.
He turned around to find Natasha behind him with her eyes fixed on him.
