Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 446

Chapter 446

Anthony followed Benjamin's line of sight and saw Natasha from quite a distance.

Clad in a dark blue coat and a pair of short boots, Natasha, who exuded a domineering aura, looked exceptionally stunning as her long hair draped on her shoulders.

Although she was standing far away, they immediately recognized her side profile and the unique aura she exuded.

“That's Nat!” Anthony's eyes gleamed with excitement.

“Nat—” Just when the boys were about to run toward her, Thalia covered their mouths, stopping them from advancing, and dragged them to a secluded place.

“What are you doing?” Anthony looked at her with a scowl.

“Just wait for a while,” Thalia said in a low voice, bending down before looking in Natasha's direction.

A man emerged from behind Natasha and spoke to her. There were also two muscular, tough-looking men standing beside them.

It was hard to tell if they were protecting her or monitoring her every move.

Anthony and Benjamin froze for a moment. After a brief observation, Anthony said, “They're the men from the port!”

Thalia bobbed her head in agreement. “That's right.”

Anthony stared still at the men. Upon noticing the man who was talking to Natasha, he narrowed his eyes. “That man is the boss!”

“Which one?”

“The man who's talking to Nat right now. Mr. Dave and I read about him in the hidden room. That's the guy!” Anthony said.

Thalia narrowed her eyes as she fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, a car drove in Natasha's direction and stopped in front of her. She got into the car when the door opened.

Seeing that, Anthony wanted to dash out and run toward her.

Thalia immediately gripped his arm. “What do you think you're doing?”

“They're leaving now! We can't let this opportunity slip away!” Anthony said.

“You're just gonna get yourself killed!” Thalia warned.

“I'll go up and stall them. Benjamin, you try to contact Mr. Dave. We'll look for Daddy after this. There are four of us. I'm sure we can do this!”

Benjamin nodded.

Thalia looked at the brothers with a frown and refused to let him go. “No. You stay here and do nothing!”

“Thalia!”

With a stern look on her face, Thalia looked around. “You only saw these three men in front of you, but do you know how many people are hiding around?” She tilted her chin, gesturing for the boys to look at a road nearby. “Look at the crossroad right there.”

Anthony turned around and noticed quite a number of men had gathered around the multiple crossroads in front of them. Although they dressed differently, they all looked like those men Anthony had met at the port in Glenport City.

Anthony regained his composure right away.

“If I'm not mistaken, Boss is trying to lure your daddy out!” Thalia deduced.

Anthony looked around and said, “So Daddy must be somewhere around here.”

The three of them then started looking around.

“Daddy had better not fall into their trap!” Benjamin mumbled.

The three of them looked around but did not see who they were looking for.

“The car is leaving!” Benjamin said all of a sudden.

They turned their attention to the car again. The black car drove off after Natasha had gotten into it.

Anthony pressed his hand against the wall and watched the vehicle depart. He knitted his brows while scratching the wall hard with his nails.

Thalia, who was standing behind him, felt sorry for the boys.

Seeing their loved one in danger but not being able to do anything was torture. She understood how helpless Anthony and Benjamin were.

Yet, she could not put the boys' lives in jeopardy, as she had promised Natasha to protect them.

Thalia walked up and gently tapped on Anthony's shoulder.

“Cheer up and pull yourself together. At least we know Nat is still alive. She seems to be doing much better than we think. On the bright side, we have more time to plan our rescue now!” Thalia said.

“I'm not upset. I'm just mad at myself. All this wouldn't have happened had I been strong enough to protect them,” Anthony said.

“Listen, Anthony. Many things can still happen even if you become the most powerful version of yourself. The world we live in is unpredictable, so you can't expect it to go your way all the time.”

“At least I can do something about it instead of allowing this to happen. At least these people will fear me and not lay their fingers on the most important people in my life.”

Thalia knew how devastated they were. After taking a deep breath, she said, “Trust me, Anthony. No matter how powerful you become, there'll always be outlaws in the world, and they'll always threaten you with your loved ones or things that matter most to you. But you can constantly build yourself up to protect yourself and the important people in your life so that those outlaws will not get a chance to take advantage of your weakness!”

Upon hearing that, Anthony nodded. “You're right!”

Benjamin kept mum. He had always been a deep thinker who would keep his thoughts to himself.

Nevertheless, Thalia knew what was going through his head. After stroking the back of his head, she said, “I know what you guys are thinking, but I want you to know that we're not afraid of them. We just don't want to fall into their trap. We'll rescue Nat for sure, but we need a solid plan, not an impulsive one!”

“What idea do you have in mind?” Anthony asked while looking at Thalia.

Thalia thought about it and looked at them. “Did you notice Boss didn't actually treat Nat with hostility? And it seems Nat was not controlled by him either.”

Anthony narrowed his eyes, trying to recall their interaction earlier. “Now that you mentioned it, I don't see anything wrong with how they interacted just now!”

“Remember the time when Daddy was looking for Nat? In the footage from the surveillance cameras, I noticed Nat left on her own accord. I've been wondering if she approached Boss with the intention of finding out more about Granddad's death. I don't think they forced Nat to leave with them,” Benjamin chimed in.

Anthony turned around to look at Thalia. “Your analysis makes sense!” However, he knitted his brows in the next second. “So Boss is using Nat as bait to lure Daddy out?”

“That's my suspicion, but I can't be sure!” Benjamin uttered.

Anthony thought about it before answering, “It's possible!”

“We have to look for Daddy first and get him to tell us more. We should be able to work on our rescue plan after that,” Benjamin said.

Anthony nodded in response.
