You're Out Daddy

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.

Swallowing 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.

The 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?”
