Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 482

Chapter 482

Sensing Boss' unusual reaction, Natasha turned to look behind her.

She saw a car approach them and come to a halt when they turned their heads around.

After the car door was opened, a man in his forties, dressed in a seemingly unorthodox military uniform, strode over.

That man walked up to them and smiled. “Boss, it has been a long time since we last met.”

Boss clenched his fists when he saw that man. Despite the stiff and unnatural expression on his face, he forced a reply. “Is General Will doing fine?”

“Of course.” With that, that man glanced at Natasha before resting his gaze on Boss again. “The mission ended so many days ago. General Will sent me here to inform you to meet with him because he has yet to receive any response from you after so long.”

“I wanted to meet with General Will today, but something urgent came up. I will go and meet with him a couple of days later,” Boss said.

“That's not needed. You can head over there now in my car. General Will is already waiting for you,” that man replied.

“But—”

“What's the matter? Are you trying to defy General Will's order?” that man questioned Boss.

Boss stared at that man. He had no choice but to suppress his anger regardless of how furious he was at that moment. “I wouldn't dare!”

“Good.” That man grinned. Then, he looked at Natasha and spoke in Ustranian. “Please, join us, Miss.”

After listening to their conversation, Natasha could deduce that man to be General Will's subordinate.

Being able to visit Vermillion Base to find out the truth had always been her wish. Naturally, she would not say anything to refuse that man's offer at that moment.

When that man gestured for Natasha and Boss to get into the car, she strode toward the vehicle at once.

He shifted his gaze to Boss, and when their eyes met, Boss had no choice but to follow Natasha into the car.

In the car, that man, dressed in military uniform, sat in the passenger seat while Natasha and Boss sat in the middle seats with two more of that man's subordinates sitting in the backseat.

Natasha said in Chanaean, “So, General Will's busy schedule has been fictitious all along? It was you who had been delaying my meeting with him, right?”

Boss hesitated for a few seconds before uttering, “That's right.”

Instead of questioning the rationale behind his action, Natasha merely chuckled in response.

She had met up with Boss for him to lead her to Vermillion Base in the first place. Unexpectedly, he had become her greatest hindrance.

Natasha said nothing.

Suddenly, Boss uttered, “Do you trust me?”

“Do you think I will trust someone who caused my life to be threatened just a few moments ago?”

Boss gazed at her and was about to speak further when that man sitting in front suddenly asked, “What are you two talking about?”

Boss was taken aback. He looked up at that man. “It's nothing. She was asking me what General Will likes.”

That man glanced at Natasha and fell silent afterward.

Boss shifted his gaze back to Natasha and whispered, “You will understand how much kindness I've been showing you when the time comes.”

Natasha did not reply. She closed her eyes and proceeded to get some rest as the car sped along the road.

As Boss stared out the window, a complex and unfathomable look glinted in his yellow eyes.

Meanwhile, in the room where the surveillance footage was monitored, Dave spoke into the walkie-talkie while watching the car they were following. “We are moving into a more isolated area now. Be extra careful so that you won't be discovered. Immediately retreat after you find out the location of the headquarters, and do not linger!”

“We got it, Dave.”

Dave turned around and noticed the similar expressions on the faces of the three people behind him. “She's fine. You all don't have to look so worried.”

Kenneth did not respond.

Just then, Anthony looked at Dave. “Mr. Dave, did you assign those snipers to be there?”

Dave narrowed his eyes at Anthony. “How did you figure that out?”

“It's so obvious judging by the trajectories of the bullets.”

Dave frowned. “You came up with the conclusion based on that observation alone?”

“Of course not!” Anthony glanced at Kenneth. “Most importantly, it was because I could not think of any other reason Daddy would remain calm and idle when the car Nat was in was ambushed.”

Upon hearing that, Dave looked at Kenneth. “J, he's a great talent worth cultivating. It seems that you've found yourself an heir to succeed DX.”

Kenneth merely swept his eyes across Anthony and Benjamin and curled his lips in silence.

Evidently, Anthony was uninterested in that topic as he probed further, “Still, why did you do that, Mr. Dave? Even with your meticulous arrangements, what if Nat was accidentally injured in the process?” Anthony had to ask because of the possibility that something might go wrong.

Dave turned to Kenneth. “I think you should be the one to explain this. I'm going to drink some water to calm my nerves.” With that, he walked away.

Anthony and Benjamin focused their attention on Kenneth.

Kenneth looked down at them and said, “Boss is an untrusting man. He must be harboring suspicion since he instructed his man to find out the surveillance footage from that shop the other day. If we don't make this arrangement, how can we successfully let him guide us to Vermillion Base?”

Anthony nodded as he was enlightened by Kenneth's rationale.

I see.

At that moment, Benjamin piped up, “But Daddy, didn't you notice? They were not heading toward Vermillion Base. Even the way he led Nat as they ran earlier was not in Vermillion Base's direction too!”

At the mention of that, Kenneth narrowed his eyes, and his face stiffened slightly. “I noticed that as well.”

“Nat has met with Boss a few times. If he genuinely wanted to bring Nat to Vermillion Base, as Nat said, he could have done so already. But he didn't realize his promise even after so many days...”

Listening to Benjamin's elaboration, Anthony said, “Unless he didn't intend to bring Nat to Vermillion Base from the beginning. Or perhaps he was deliberately delaying that from happening.”

Benjamin nodded in agreement.

“Things did take a few unexpected turns. Anyway, they are heading toward Vermillion Base now. Hopefully, she can discover the outcome she desires.” Kenneth looked at Anthony. “Keep an eye on Nat's movements. Once she gives us the signal, we will immediately head over and retrieve her.”

Anthony nodded solemnly after receiving Kenneth's instruction.

Just then, they heard a knock on the door, followed by the appearance of a man standing in the doorway.

They noticed it was Spencer who had arrived. He stood there with a hint of exhaustion lacing his captivating facial features.

Kenneth screwed up his eyes at the sight of Spencer. “You're back so soon.”

Spencer chuckled. “I don't wish to return either, but I still owe you one more treatment session, right?”

Kenneth looked down. “There's no hurry. You can address your personal matters first.”

Spencer knew Kenneth's intention. Still, he feigned ignorance. “All right. Since you're not in a hurry, I'll grab something to eat and take a shower.” With that, he left.

Anthony looked at Kenneth and asked, “Daddy, do you still require further treatment?”

An unfathomable look flashed across Kenneth's eyes.

He didn't have to proceed with more treatment sessions, but fragments of his recollections and his intuition were hinting to him that his lost memories contained a vital piece of information. Therefore, he must reclaim his memories.


Kenneth looked down at them and said, “Boss is an untrusting man. He must be harboring suspicion since he instructed his man to find out the surveillance footage from that shop the other day. If we don't make this arrangement, how can we successfully let him guide us to Vermillion Base?”
