Right then, Kenneth suddenly said, “Get out of the car!”
After saying that, he opened the car door and wrapped his arms around Natasha before pulling her out with him, whereas the person sitting in front also opened the door and jumped out of the car.
Before they landed, a loud noise was heard, and the car exploded in front of them.
Since they were not too far from the car, the three were covered in dust and mud when they crashed heavily to the ground.
At that moment, aside from the explosion, it was as if everything around them had quietened down.
Natasha sprawled on the ground, feeling like the world around her was spinning. A moment later, when she felt the weight of another person pressing on top of her, she finally realized Kenneth had put her under him and shielded her tightly.
“Kenneth...” Natasha called out with difficulty.
However, he did not move an inch.
Natasha tried to get up, but no matter how much strength she exerted, she could not push Kenneth off her.
“Kenneth...” Natasha called out his name repeatedly, moving her body bit by bit until she could roll over to see his face.
Seeing that his head was hung over her with his eyes closed, Natasha instantly felt her heart clenching.
Her tears rolled down from the corner of her eyes, but she did not seem to notice. She continued staring at him, nudging him. “Kenneth, Kenneth, wake up...”
Still, his eyes remained shut. Aside from the scars on his face, there was no extra emotion in his expression.
Natasha panicked for a moment. Seeing that he still did not react to her, she reached out her hand under his nose, trying to see if he was still breathing.
Then, Natasha was stunned. She even felt that her mind went blank for a moment.
Just when Natasha's mind started running wild with all possibilities, Kenneth suddenly coughed and opened his eyes.
At that moment, it was as though Natasha's heart was lifted again from the dark abyss. She stared at him and asked, “Kenneth, are you okay?”
Kenneth looked at her and curled his lips. “Natasha, I am yet to get even with you, and I won't rest in peace until that's done!”
She had no idea what he intended to get even with her, but that did not matter as long as he was fine.
Natasha's eyes reddened. She remained silent but reached out her hands to hug him.
It was then that Kenneth felt it was worth going through the deathly experience he had just had.
Then, his lips curled without him knowing.
Boss watched them from a distance not too far away.
He was surprised that Kenneth was not killed in the explosion. An inconspicuous jealousy flickered across his eyes when he saw Natasha hugging Kenneth.
“You almost died, yet you are still in the mood to be all lovey-dovey!” Boss uttered as he looked at Kenneth.
Hearing that, Kenneth looked up in Boss' direction and said teasingly, “I can see that you're jealous!”
Boss narrowed his eyes and said to the person next to him, “Kill him!”
“Yes, sir!” the person answered and immediately pointed his pistol at Kenneth.
“Are you afraid?” Kenneth asked.
His question was clearly directed to the woman under him.
Natasha looked at him and curled her lips. “I am.”
Kenneth glanced at her. “Close your eyes if you're afraid.”
“I am worried you will get into danger.” Natasha stared at him.
Kenneth tugged his lips. “Don't worry. Didn't I tell you I'll not rest in peace until we're even?”
“Shoot him!” Boss yelled angrily.
As if he could predict the timing of the subordinate firing his pistol, Kenneth immediately stood up and pointed his pistol at that guy. The second he fired a shot, it was as if a third gun had fired a shot too, and that guy collapsed to the ground immediately.
Kenneth was startled.
Boss was also startled. He looked up in the direction the bullet was fired and saw many cars heading toward them. Those bullets were like raindrops, firing at them densely.
