Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 529

Chapter 529

Inside a room in Vermillion Base, Boss stared at the man lying on the bed.

With a glint of hostility flashing across his eyes, he broke into a smirk. “How does it feel lying there? Good?”

Will glared intently at him, eyes burning with defiance.

Boss let out a chuckle. “Don't give me that look. You're the one who brought this upon yourself.”

Mustering all his strength, Will asked, “W-Why?”

Suddenly, an insidious look descended upon Boss' face. Through his gritted teeth, he explained, “Why? What do you think? Why didn't you ask yourself that question when you harmed my sister back then? How is she a threat to you at seven years old?”

At the mention of the topic, Will's eyes turned red.

“When you did her in back then, you should've done the same to me, but you didn't. Instead, you tormented me throughout the years. Nonetheless, I still have you to thank, as I wouldn't be where I am without the suffering you have inflicted upon me,” Boss remarked in a nonchalant tone as a devious smile flashed across his face.

“K-Kill me!” Will cried out breathlessly.

Boss shot him a glare. “Kill you? That would be letting you off too easily. After years of torture at your hands, I intend to return the favor. Besides...” Boss suddenly leaned in. “You're more useful to me alive than dead!”

With that, a triumphant smile emerged on his face.

Even though the sight of Boss sent a chill down Will's spine, the latter was unable to move at all.

“Stop wasting your energy. The poison in you has been specially formulated to progress slowly. Only when there's enough of it in you would you end up in your current condition.” As Boss spoke, he exuded a wicked aura underneath his calm chiseled face.

Will's eyes widened further as emotions raged within him.

“Relax and don't worry. I'll get someone to take good care of your family.” Boss then got up and left, paying no heed to Will's fiery eyes.

To be precise, it was the look in Will's eyes that fueled Boss' sense of satisfaction.

Finally, he, too, has a taste of his own medicine.

Outside the room, Boss took a deep breath.

Now that vengeance was served, the hatred he had been harboring all this while gradually eased.

As he opened his eyes and prepared to leave, he suddenly saw a group of people discussing something noisily.

Hence, he approached them. “What's going on?”

The group quickly got up at the sound of his voice, but amidst their anxiety, one of them dropped something.

“Boss...” They looked at him, quaking in their boots.

Boss looked at the item on the floor, and his sharp eyes immediately recognized it to be Natasha's accessory.

Without a moment's hesitation, he hurried over to pick it up.

“Boss, I-I found it—” the person explained.

Boss raised his gaze to look at the man and everyone else around. “You found it?”

The man nodded at once. “That's right. General Will locked the woman up in the southern camp that day. She probably left it there back then.”

Only then did Boss recall the matter. “Is there anything else?”

The man shook his head at once.

After tightening his grip on the necklace, Boss got back up and left.

“Boss...” Just when the man wanted to comment about how expensive the necklace looked, Boss' intimidating aura caused him to hold his tongue.

After all, Boss was now a different man from the past.

Suddenly, Boss stopped in his tracks as if something hit him. Thereafter, he took off his watch and threw it at the man. “I suppose this is enough?”

The man's face lit up in delight. “Actually, you don't have to, Boss.”

Boss' gaze swept across the men. “Going forward, I will definitely not treat you the same way General Will did. I won't take advantage of you or bully you. We will share all our profits and go through thick and thin together. As long as your loyalty lies with me, you'll definitely be well rewarded.”

The group asked excitedly, “Really?”

“You'll soon see for yourselves!”

“Hurray!” The group erupted in cheers. “Boss, we swear to follow you to the death!”

At the same time, another group of men at the side yelled, “We swear to follow you to the death too!”

Hearing the commotion, everyone around began to gather one after another. After a brief discussion among themselves, they, too, shouted, “Follow Boss to the death!”

Staring at them, an indiscernible expression descended upon Boss' face as he clenched the necklace in his fist.

Inside his room, Boss was sitting in his chair and staring at the necklace. He recalled Natasha wearing it the first time he met her.

This is probably one of her favorite things.

Boss began to reminisce about the days he spent together with Natasha.

It was then that Gavin walked in. “You wanted to see me?”

Furrowing his brows, Boss looked up. “This necklace is broken. Can you get someone to fix it?”

Gavin walked over and nodded awkwardly when he saw the necklace. “Sure.”

“I appreciate it.”

“This necklace belongs to that woman!” Gavin pointed out.

When he saw that Boss was stunned, Gavin explained, “I saw her wearing it the day she arrived at the base.”

Boss—with no intention to hide the fact—nodded. “It is hers.”

After giving the necklace a look, Gavin turned his attention to Boss. “Do you like her?”

Boss lifted his gaze to look at Gavin. “I do.”

His readiness to admit the fact took Gavin by surprise.

All this while, the generals preceding him had always kept their cards close to their chest, never revealing their true thoughts to anyone, not even to those closest to them.

Thus, Gavin never expected to hear such a confession from Boss.

Boss looked at Gavin and began baring his soul. “She's different from all the women I've ever known. Sooner or later, I'll bring her back to my side.”

“Why are you being so candid with me?” Gavin asked.

“Why shouldn't I? You're my most trusted person.”

When an awkward expression appeared on Gavin's face, Boss continued, “Gavin, I'm not General Will and won't become someone like him. When I trust someone, I do so unconditionally, and you're one of them who has earned my trust.”

“Why?”

“Why? I don't have an answer, as it's just my intuition. My gut tells me that you'll never betray me,” Boss enunciated.

With a frown on his face, Gavin clenched the necklace in his hand. “I'll get someone to fix it.” After turning around to leave, he stopped abruptly at the door. “I'll help you achieve your ambition, but you had better not let me down.” Without waiting for a response, Gavin walked off decisively.

Watching his leaving silhouette, Boss curled his lips into a profound smile.
