You're Out Daddy

Chapter 619

At that moment, Kenneth looked at him. “Who told you that?”

“I...”

“It was me.” Just as Mike was trying to come up with an excuse, Dave came in. The latter strode straight to Kenneth and looked at him. “I was the one who said it, so if you want to blame someone, blame me.”

Mike immediately stood up when he heard that. “No, that's not true. I overheard Dave on the phone.”

“Mike.” Dave patted him on the shoulder, motioning him to sit down. “There's no need to speak up for me. Anyway, I don't plan to hide it from him.”

Mike knitted his brows. “Dave...”

Aside from being well aware of Kenneth's temper, he also feared that the matter would drive a wedge between the two of them.

“Don't worry. This isn't the first argument we've had,” said Dave reassuringly, indicating that he needn't worry.

Mike's gaze shifted to Kenneth, and only after seeing that the latter did not speak did he fall silent.

Meanwhile, Dave also turned to look at Kenneth. “Even if you didn't come, I'll still tell them about this matter. Kenneth, the power of Vermillion Base can't be underestimated. Although you can win through tactics using personal strength alone, you can't be so lucky every time. Not to mention, Boss will only become more and more vigilant, and it'll only become more difficult and dangerous in the future.”

Kenneth stared at him. How can I not know this fact? It's just that...

Just then, Dave pressed his hands on the table and fixed his gaze on Kenneth as he said, “It's time to leave the past behind, Kenneth. Zavier's death back then was because of a problem in decision-making. All three of us agreed to it: you, me, and Zavier. So even if something happened, it wasn't your responsibility alone. Besides, I believe that even if Zavier knew about it, he wouldn't blame you. Everyone here is the same. We all chose this path, so we won't complain even if we have to sacrifice ourselves. Ask them if you don't believe me.”

Everyone around Kenneth nodded solemnly when the latter swept his gaze over them.

Knowing that Kenneth was still hesitant, Dave kept his gaze locked on the former and continued, “Also, even if you don't think about yourself, don't you think you should think about Natasha? Do you still want to avenge her? Or do you plan to let her walk into the jaws of danger again?”

Kenneth's gaze darkened a little when the other man brought up Natasha.

Not only did Dave know precisely how to persuade Kenneth, but he also knew very well that Natasha was currently the other man's biggest weakness.
































Silence hung in the air for some time before Kenneth took a deep breath and lifted his gaze to Dave. “You know me best, Dave, so you know how to persuade me. But at the same time, you also know that what I decide will not change.”

Dave knitted his brows.

“Boss...”

“Boss!”

The people around were looking at them at that moment.

Kenneth looked at them and let out a sigh. “I'll figure out a solution for the matter between me and Vermillion Base. None of you are allowed to interfere. If I find out that any of you did, don't blame me for not holding back. All right. I came over just to say hello to you all. If there isn't anything else, I'll be going then.”

With that, he got up and prepared to leave.

“Boss, this is for you!” Just as Kenneth got up to leave, Mike suddenly stood up with a box in his hand.

The former's gaze changed as soon as he saw the box.

“Zavier gave this to me before setting off when you all were on the mission together back then. He instructed me to hand it to you personally, but the following events happened so suddenly that I forgot to do so. I just recently discovered it as I was packing my things,” Mike explained.

Kenneth raised his slightly trembling hands to receive the box.

At that moment, all eyes were on him, even Dave, who was well aware of the contents of the box and even more so its significance.

However, just as Kenneth was about to touch the box, his hands clenched into fists.

“Boss.”

Kenneth lifted his gaze to look at Mike. “Since so many years have passed, you shall continue keeping this!” After saying that, he retracted his hands, turned around, and headed outside.

“Boss!”

Dave furrowed his brows as he looked on.

Kenneth still can't move on from what had happened.

“Dave.” Just then, Mike looked at Dave with a troubled expression.

“I'll give it to him,” Dave said before taking the box from Mike and following after the other man.

Alexia had been waiting outside the entire time, and when she saw Kenneth walking out, she immediately approached him.

“My savior...”

However, Kenneth walked straight past her as if he did not see or hear anything.

Alexia stood there and frowned as she watched Kenneth pass her while sporting a grim expression.
