Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 313

Chapter 313

The next second, he turned toward Natasha. “Nat, did something happen just now?”

Kenneth's reaction caused Natasha to also notice that something was amiss. She responded with a shake of her head before asking, “What is it? Is something wrong?”

When Kenneth raised his gaze to look again, the man had already disappeared.

His brows were tightly furrowed as an ominous feeling began to swell within him.

“Kenneth!” At that moment, Natasha called out to him.

Only then did he regain his senses.

“What happened?” Natasha asked again.

Kenneth ruminated on the matter. That person is either targeting me or Natasha, for there's no other possibility.

Nonetheless, he didn't want to alarm Natasha until he obtained a clearer picture.

Getting a grip of himself, he explained, “It's nothing. I just saw someone familiar.”

Natasha narrowed her eyes. “That person who just walked past?”

She's really sharp, and here I was thinking that she didn't notice.

“You spotted him too?”

Natasha nodded. “We met briefly just now, and that's why I have a deeper impression of him.”

“Met briefly?” Kenneth caught the essence of her words.

Natasha related what happened just now, “We bumped into each other outside the restroom. As I dropped my phone from the impact, he insisted on getting my contact so that he could compensate me.” Despite describing the incident casually, Natasha was looking at Kenneth with intrigue.

Kenneth's expression drastically changed at her words.

In fact, he no longer harbored any doubt that she was the target of that man.

But how did he find Natasha so quickly? Or have they already learned of her identity? Also, considering that they have come so far, getting Natasha's phone number isn't difficult. So why does he need to personally pretend to knock into her? This doesn't make sense at all. What is that man thinking?

With that thought in mind, Kenneth looked at her and asked, “Nat, your phone has an anti-tracking device installed, am I right?”

Natasha nodded. “Mmm-hmm.”

“For an ordinary hacker, what are the chances of them hacking into your phone?” Kenneth inquired.

“Their chances... will depend on whether I allow them to or not.”

Kenneth swiftly understood it to be impossible.

Learning of that fact put his mind at ease. He instructed her, “Nat, listen to me. If that man shows up again, don't interact or speak to him at all. Just walk away and give me a call.”

“Why?” Natasha asked.

“He's trouble. By asking for your number, he obviously has an ulterior motive. I just don't want him to hound you, that's all,” Kenneth explained.

That excuse sounds absurd.

Nonetheless, Natasha pressed on. “Is that all there is to it?”

“Mmm-hmm.” Kenneth nodded. “Don't underestimate your charm. You truly are that desirable.”

Natasha was speechless.

Even though she was cognizant that it was just an excuse, she didn't expose Kenneth for it.

Given how nervous he looked the moment he saw the man, Natasha understood that there was more to the matter than met the eye.

On top of that, she was also certain that his anxious reaction had something to do with her.

Since he refused to divulge anything further, she didn't press on for answers.

Also, that person would definitely call her since he had obtained her number.

As a result, all she needed to do was wait.

With that, she gave Kenneth a gentle smile. “Are you done with your food? If you are, let's go.”

Meanwhile, upon leaving the restaurant, the man entered a black MPV directly.

From where it was parked, he had a clear view of Kenneth and Natasha inside the restaurant.

As he stared intently at Natasha, a mysterious glint flashed in his amber eyes.

Right then, someone handed him an iPad from behind. “Boss, here are the man's details.”

The man called Boss took the tablet and skimmed through the data.

“Kenneth Hamilton?”

“Read further down.”

“J? He's J?” Boss exclaimed in astonishment.

“Yes!” the man behind him confirmed in a fearful tone.

Boss was stunned.

Ten years ago, the code name J was famous throughout the world. Back then, Boss had already heard of it when he was a low-level leader in Vermillion Base. J has single-handedly wiped out two organizations before going on to establish DX Group. After living gloriously for a while, he, at the peak of his fame, disappeared without a trace.

Little did Boss expect to run into J that day.

“What a small world this is,” Boss commented with a nostalgic tone.

“Previously, someone speculated that he had met an accident. No one expected him to retire and go into business. In spite of that, his power is still not to be underestimated,” the subordinate reported.

Boss narrowed his eyes. “The plot thickens indeed!”

“Boss, we had better not get on his nerves here.”

Boss cocked a brow when he heard the words. “Why? Are you afraid already?”

“I'm not. It's just that this is his territory. If we go against him here, it would be detrimental to us,” the subordinate explained. If he was just an ordinary businessman, he would pose no threat at all. But this man is J!

Even though the fact wasn't lost on Boss, he was filled with the burning urge to face the challenge, especially after learning Kenneth's true identity.

“Do you think a predator who has retired would still retain the skills he wielded back then?” Boss wondered aloud.

Obviously, his subordinate wouldn't know. “Perhaps. I heard that he's doing very well even in business. In fact, he's the top dog here, and no one dares to touch him.”

“It might very well be because he had the backing of DX Group,” Boss speculated.

The subordinate had no words to rebut.

At that moment, Boss narrowed his eyes while staring at Kenneth in the restaurant. “I really do feel like meeting him.”

“Boss!”

“I know what you're going to say,” Boss replied coldly. With his eyes narrowed, he contemplated for a moment before replying, “Don't worry. I won't do anything rash.”

“I-In that case, how are we going to deal with the woman?”

Turning his attention to Natasha, Boss' gaze darkened. “Theodore, Natasha... I didn't expect Theodore to have such good genes.”

His words puzzled the subordinate.

“How is the investigation about her going?”

“Other than some trivial information, I couldn't find anything else.”

Boss' lips curled. “Couldn't find anything... Tell me, what do you think it means?”

“It means that she's suspicious?”

“The cleaner her history, the more capable she is,” Boss remarked with a smile.

“Do you mean...”

“I still need some time to verify something. Thus, let's leave her alone for the time being. I'll personally deal with her later.”

“Yes, Boss!”

At that moment, an idea hatched in Boss' head as he continued to watch Natasha.

If the situation is what I think it is, there might be an entirely different version of the story.
