Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 544

Chapter 544

Dave was in the middle of breakfast when Kenneth made his way downstairs the next day.

“Why are you up so early today?” the former teased while dining elegantly.

Kenneth walked over and sat across from him. “No reason in particular.”

Dave shot him a glance that turned into a stare. “What's up with you? You don't look so good!”

The latter coughed lightly. “Nothing much. Maybe I've caught a slight cold.”

“A cold?” Dave furrowed his brows at that. “But the weather's been perfect. How did you catch a cold?”

Kenneth picked up the glass of water in front of him and took a sip. “It must've been the cold shower I took last night.”

Dave froze. “You took a cold shower?”

Kenneth remained silent.

As though realizing something, Dave eyed him playfully. “Did you take a cold shower, or did you take many cold showers?”

He knew how resilient Kenneth's body was, after all.

There was no way the latter would catch a cold just from one cold shower.

As expected, Kenneth glanced up at him right away.

“I took many,” he enunciated.

Dave laughed and nodded. “I get what you mean now!”

Kenneth merely ate and stopped entertaining him.

Dave continued to smile with a hint of jest in his eyes.

Then, Kenneth spoke again. “Boss called me yesterday.”

Dave stilled briefly before composing himself. “He still has the nerve to contact you? What did he say?”

Kenneth paused for a long while upon recalling the video clip he had received. “He still hasn't given up.”

“That's not unusual. Not many people will give up when it comes to you.”

“That's why he's definitely up to something. If he can't find me, he'll be sure to cause DX trouble. So be careful,” Kenneth advised.

Dave smiled at that. “Vermillion base might be different from us in nature, but we have the upper hand whether it comes to funds or weapons. Do you really think he'd come after DX just like that?”

Kenneth nodded in response. “You may be right, but it wouldn't hurt to be extra cautious.”

“Don't worry. Preparations have been made long ago,” Dave assured. He had managed to remain as DX's person-in-charge all this while precisely because he handled all affairs well and never underestimated his foes, after all.

Kenneth nodded. “By the way,” he added after some deliberation, “I want the word spread in a few days' time. I may need your help when that happens.”

Dave turned to him. “That's not a problem, but will she believe it?”

“She will,” Kenneth guaranteed. “As long as it looks credible enough.”

There was nothing else Dave could say at this point. “Okay.”

As they were about done talking, Kenneth took another two bites of his food before pulling the two plates of breakfast on the table over to his side.

“What are you doing?” Dave asked in confusion.

“Nat hasn't woken up yet, so I'm bringing these upstairs for her.”

“But what about me?”

“You should eat less, or you'll be obese by the time you're fifty.”

Me? Obese?

Dave was bereft of words. My body's in perfect form, okay?

Still, a hopeless smile played on his lips.

At that very moment, his phone rang, and he answered it after glancing at the screen.

“Hello.”

“Dave! This is bad,” Miguel exclaimed in a panic over the phone.

Dave frowned as he heard that.

Meanwhile, Anthony's phone wouldn't stop vibrating on the table.

With narrowed eyes, the boy reached for the device and took the call.

“Miguel, if you ever call me incessantly like this again, I'll— What?” All his sleepiness vanished in a flash as soon as he heard what Miguel had to say. “Okay, got it. I'll be right there!”

He got up, grabbed his clothes, and headed out in an instant.

A grim-looking Miguel was seated in front of a computer by the time Anthony arrived inside the hidden room.

“What's going on now?” the latter asked while walking over.

A video clip popped up on Miguel's computer screen at that very moment.

Seeing that, Miguel hastily tried to get rid of the clip, only for Anthony to reach out and stop him. “Wait!”

The video was a little dark, but its contents could still be seen clearly.

Inside it was numerous people lying on the floor with blood everywhere as a woman stood on her own facing many men across her. The men were then seen charging toward her, but she somehow managed to kill all of them the moment they approached her.

It was a rather thrilling sight.

Miguel was initially bewildered and thought he was watching a scene from a movie. “What does this video mean? What are they trying to convey?” he asked before turning his head and scanning the room. “Is this a movie? Have any of you guys seen it?”

“Shut up,” Anthony uttered out of the blue.

Miguel froze momentarily before turning to him, noticing how unusual he looked.

“What's wrong, Master?” he asked, his brows creasing out of concern.

Anthony merely kept silent and stared at the computer screen. Maybe no one else could tell, but based on her movements alone, he instantly knew the woman in the video was Natasha.

Meanwhile, the men were dressed in Vermillion Base's traditional attire, so it wasn't difficult for Anthony to figure out that this scene had taken place at Vermillion Base. It definitely happened just a while ago too.

Despite Natasha having already returned to her children safely, the boy couldn't help but get worked up at the sight of this video. His hands began to tremble as his eyes turned bloodshot.

To think there were people treating my precious mommy like this.

“What on earth is wrong with you, Master?” Miguel asked again.

Dave just so happened to watch the video clip too as he showed up after ending his call. He, too, had immediately recognized Natasha.

Truth be told, he was quite surprised.

She always looks so polite and doesn't seem to care about anything. Who would've known she'd be even more cold-blooded than a man when things get serious?

Even so, his heart ached at the sight of the injured woman facing off against so many people at the same time in the video.

Seeing how aggravated Anthony became, Dave walked toward him and covered his eyes.

Anthony stilled and glanced up at the man.

“It's in the past,” Dave reminded.

“No, it's not. This is only the beginning,” the boy declared.

Then, he plopped down in front of the computer and began to type away on the keyboard.

I've been wanting to destroy Vermillion Base for a while now. I just never made it a priority because I know this isn't something I can do within a short time. But now, it looks like I can't drag this out anymore.
