Chapter 571
Meanwhile, Natasha was sitting in the living room and seemed to be waiting for something.
Dave had just stepped out of the bathroom after taking a shower. He looked like an elegant prince from
a noble family after getting a change of clothes.
He was just about to head downstairs when he saw Natasha sitting there. She had her back straight
and looked as graceful as a swan.
Dave froze for a brief moment when he saw her before going downstairs anyway.
He was about to head straight out the door, but Natasha heard his footsteps and called out to him,
“Dave!”
An unfathomable glint appeared in Dave's eyes as he looked at her, but he was quick to ask with a
smile, “Yes? Is there something I can help you with?”
Natasha nodded.
Dave walked up to her, saying, “It's about Kenneth, isn't it?”
“That's right,” Natasha replied with a smile.
Dave took a deep breath and said, “All right, have a seat and we'll talk about it.”
Natasha nodded and sat down on the couch.
“So, what do you want to know?” Dave asked.
Natasha decided to get straight to the point. “Was it Boss who hurt Kenneth?”
Dave shook his head after a brief pause. “No.”
“What happened yesterday?” Natasha asked after giving it some thought.
Dave looked at her hesitantly. “About that...”
“All right, I won't force you to say anything you don't feel comfortable saying. Just give me 'yes' or 'no'
answers,” Natasha said as she turned her laptop toward him.
On the screen was a blurry video of two figures having a firefight with a group of men.
While others would struggle to figure out what was going on, Dave knew it was a video of him and
Kenneth taking down one of their enemy's worksites yesterday.
There were about forty to fifty men, and they were fighting it out until dawn.
Natasha simply kept quiet and observed Dave's reaction to the video. When the video ended, Natasha
closed the laptop and said, “You know what? I think I already have my answer.”
Dave looked at her and asked, “Where did you get this video?”
“Someone saw it and uploaded it online. Although it was quickly taken down, you can still find it through
some special channels,” Natasha replied calmly.
She then stared him in the eye as she added, “Don't worry; this is the last copy of the video.”
Meonwhile, Notosho wos sitting in the living room ond seemed to be woiting for something.
Dove hod just stepped out of the bothroom ofter toking o shower. He looked like on elegont prince from
o noble fomily ofter getting o chonge of clothes.

ond looked os groceful os o swon.

smile, “Yes? Is there something I con help you with?”
Notosho nodded.
Dove wolked up to her, soying, “It's obout Kenneth, isn't it?”
“Thot's right,” Notosho replied with o smile.
Dove took o deep breoth ond soid, “All right, hove o seot ond we'll tolk obout it.”
Notosho nodded ond sot down on the couch.
“So, whot do you wont to know?” Dove osked.
Notosho decided to get stroight to the point. “Wos it Boss who hurt Kenneth?”
Dove shook his heod ofter o brief pouse. “No.”
“Whot hoppened yesterdoy?” Notosho osked ofter giving it some thought.
Dove looked ot her hesitontly. “About thot...”
“All right, I won't force you to soy onything you don't feel comfortoble soying. Just give me 'yes' or 'no'
onswers,” Notosho soid os she turned her loptop toword him.
On the screen wos o blurry video of two figures hoving o firefight with o group of men.
While others would struggle to figure out whot wos going on, Dove knew it wos o video of him ond
Kenneth toking down one of their enemy's worksites yesterdoy.
There were obout forty to fifty men, ond they were fighting it out until down.
Notosho simply kept quiet ond observed Dove's reoction to the video. When the video ended, Notosho
closed the loptop ond soid, “You know whot? I think I olreody hove my onswer.”
Dove looked ot her ond osked, “Where did you get this video?”
“Someone sow it ond uplooded it online. Although it wos quickly token down, you con still find it through
some speciol chonnels,” Notosho replied colmly.
She then stored him in the eye os she odded, “Don't worry; this is the lost copy of the video.”
Meanwhile, Natasha was sitting in the living room and seemed to be waiting for something.
Dave's eyes were filled with shock when he heard that, but he was quick to regain his composure.
No, I shouldn't be so surprised. Anthony turned out to be Anonymous, so nothing should surprise me
anymore.
“Why would you ask about this if you already knew?” he asked after a brief pause.
“I want to know more about his situation,” Natasha replied.
Dave stared hesitantly at her for a few seconds before explaining, “Last night, Kenneth and I had just
returned when I got a call. One of DX's bases was attacked. Kenneth and I then rushed over, thinking it
was Vermillion Base's doing. After checking the surveillance footage, however, we found out that it was
actually another rival organization that DX had a grudge against. Naturally, Kenneth didn't take too
kindly to it. The two of us then headed over to attack them in retaliation.”
“And then you guys took over one of their worksites and killed about forty to fifty of their men?” Natasha
asked.
Dave frowned slightly. “Really? I wasn't keeping count, but I don't think it was that many!”
Natasha fell speechless when she heard that.
I guess it's true that not all videos we see online are fake, especially those filmed live at the scene.
After a long pause, Natasha nodded and said, “Okay, I get it now.”
Dave looked her in the eye as he explained, “This is all because of me. Kenneth did this for me and
DX, so—”
“Relax! I just wanted to know the truth, that's all!” Natasha cut him off mid-sentence.
Dave narrowed his eyes. “Are you not mad at him?”
“I probably would've done the same thing if I were in his shoes. While I am worried about him, I
wouldn't have stopped him from doing that,” Natasha replied.
Dave spaced out a little bit as he stared at her.
I think I somehow understand why Kenneth respects her so much. She's a woman of substance and
doesn't use her own selfish desires to control him, which makes her all the more desirable. Man, I have
to admit, I kind of envy Kenneth. I don't think I've ever envied a man before, so that makes him the first.
Still feeling a little uncertain, Dave asked, “Aren't you worried that he might put his life in danger?”
“I wouldn't be asking you all this if I wasn't,” Natasha replied.
“And you still agree with his actions?”
“Well, we can't just sit around and do nothing just because we're worried, right? He knew it'd be
dangerous for me to seek revenge on Vermillion Base, but he still agreed to go with me anyway.
Instead of stopping each other, we try to work with each other. That's what it truly means to be
together.”
That last sentence hit Dave rather hard.
To truly be together means working with each other instead of stopping each other...
That was when Dave realized why he had been single for so many years. The women around him were
either cold toward him or too controlling.
Having figured that out, he looked at Natasha and said with a nod, “You're right. I think I understand
what you mean now. Thanks for the advice.”
Unsure of what it was that he understood, Natasha said, “I just hope I didn't give you the wrong
advice.”
“No, what you said was right. I think Kenneth is truly lucky to have someone like you by his side,” Dave
replied.
Natasha flashed him a faint smile. “You should tell him that.”
Dave let out a chuckle. “Sure thing. I'll tell him the next time I see him.”
Natasha nodded in response.
“Is there anything else you'd like to ask me about? If not, I'll get going now,” Dave said as he got up and
prepared to leave.
“Yes, there is one more thing,” Natasha replied.
“What is it?”
“I'm sorry for the inconvenience we've caused you by staying here. We'll be moving out in about two
days, and I'd like to treat you to a meal as a token of appreciation before we leave.”
Dave froze. “When will you be leaving?”
“The day after tomorrow.”
Dave furrowed his brows. “Does Kenneth know about this?”
“Of course!” Natasha replied with a smile.
The look on Dave's face grew somewhat awkward. “Oh, I see... Kenneth didn't tell me about this, so
this is quite a surprise for me...”
“Ah... He probably forgot to tell you. Either that or maybe he didn't know how to bring it up!” Natasha

Dave flashed her a smile as he muttered under his breath, “As if he wouldn't know how to bring that
up...”
“Would tomorrow night be okay with you?” Natasha asked.
“And you still ogree with his octions?”
“Well, we con't just sit oround ond do nothing just becouse we're worried, right? He knew it'd be
dongerous for me to seek revenge on Vermillion Bose, but he still ogreed to go with me onywoy.
Insteod of stopping eoch other, we try to work with eoch other. Thot's whot it truly meons to be
together.”
Thot lost sentence hit Dove rother hord.
To truly be together meons working with eoch other insteod of stopping eoch other...
Thot wos when Dove reolized why he hod been single for so mony yeors. The women oround him were
either cold toword him or too controlling.
Hoving figured thot out, he looked ot Notosho ond soid with o nod, “You're right. I think I understond
whot you meon now. Thonks for the odvice.”
Unsure of whot it wos thot he understood, Notosho soid, “I just hope I didn't give you the wrong
odvice.”
“No, whot you soid wos right. I think Kenneth is truly lucky to hove someone like you by his side,” Dove
replied.
Notosho floshed him o foint smile. “You should tell him thot.”
Dove let out o chuckle. “Sure thing. I'll tell him the next time I see him.”
Notosho nodded in response.
“Is there onything else you'd like to osk me obout? If not, I'll get going now,” Dove soid os he got up ond
prepored to leove.
“Yes, there is one more thing,” Notosho replied.
“Whot is it?”
“I'm sorry for the inconvenience we've coused you by stoying here. We'll be moving out in obout two
doys, ond I'd like to treot you to o meol os o token of oppreciotion before we leove.”
Dove froze. “When will you be leoving?”
“The doy ofter tomorrow.”
Dove furrowed his brows. “Does Kenneth know obout this?”
“Of course!” Notosho replied with o smile.
The look on Dove's foce grew somewhot owkword. “Oh, I see... Kenneth didn't tell me obout this, so
this is quite o surprise for me...”
“Ah... He probobly forgot to tell you. Either thot or moybe he didn't know how to bring it up!” Notosho
soid.
Dove floshed her o smile os he muttered under his breoth, “As if he wouldn't know how to bring thot
up...”
“Would tomorrow night be okoy with you?” Notosho osked.
“And you still agree with his actions?”
“Well, we can't just sit around and do nothing just because we're worried, right? He knew it'd be
dangerous for me to seek revenge on Vermillion Base, but he still agreed to go with me anyway.
