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.”
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.
