Those who tried to shoot Kenneth fell to the ground before they could even fire their guns.
The trap's purpose was to lure him out, so Boss knew they had an advantage over him. It would be hard to find the location of the sniper.
Boss narrowed his gaze as he watched Kenneth coming to him.
He knew a brutal fight was unavoidable.
“What's wrong? Are you going to hide again?” Kenneth asked.
After a pause, he added, “I want you dead. If you're willing to show yourself, I might spare your men's lives.”
Boss' fists balled up as an ugly scowl flitted across his face.
Right then, one of his men spoke up. “Boss, I'll cover you so you can get into the last car. Perhaps we can make it out safely!”
Despite that, Boss said nothing.
“Ha! I thought you were a capable man. Turns out you're a coward who hides behind your men. I have overestimated you!” Kenneth's voice rang out intermittently.
Boss knew Kenneth was trying to provoke him, but it worked on him.
He got to his feet instantly, refusing to hide anymore.
“Boss!” His subordinate immediately raised his gun to protect him.
Glaring at Kenneth, Boss strode out of his hiding place.
Kenneth gazed at him. “You finally reveal yourself, huh?”
“What do you want?”
“What else? I want you dead, of course.” Kenneth's eyes turned red with bloodlust as he flashed a smirk. “So? Are you going to hand your life on a platter to me? Or should I kill you myself?”
“Do you think you're capable enough to kill me?” Boss gritted out.
“Why don't we give it a try and find out?”
Boss shot him a level look. “One on one?”
“I've been waiting for you to say that!” came Kenneth's reply.
Hearing that, Boss glanced in the direction of the sniper. “What about him?”
“If your men don't move, he won't move, too,” Kenneth told him.
Boss turned over his shoulder and commanded, “No one is to interfere.”
“Yes, sir!” his subordinates replied in unison.
Subsequently, Kenneth and Boss gazed at each other silently.
In the dark, the cars' headlights shone on the ground and reflected on them. The hatred they had for each other was evident in their eyes.
Boss shrugged out of his jacket and tossed it aside.
He planned on attacking Kenneth when the latter least expected it. Alas, Kenneth immediately dodged him when he took action.
They got entangled in a fight, raining punches and kicks on each other.
Every strike was deadly and vicious.
Soon, both sustained injuries.
Boss glowered at Kenneth. “J, you should feel lucky that I didn't come to you. I can't believe you have the guts to come to me.”
“You murdered her parents, so I must end your life personally to take revenge on her behalf!” Kenneth declared.
“Did she send you here?” Boss inquired.
“How is that any different?”
Boss pondered over his question. “If she discovered the truth, she would've shown up personally instead of sending you here. I believe she doesn't know the truth yet. Am I right?”
“That isn't important. She'll find out after today!” With that, Kenneth charged ahead.
A fight ensued between them both.
The people surrounding them frowned at the sight.
Clearly, Boss was at a disadvantage. He was no match for Kenneth and was pinned to the ground, beaten to a pulp.
Having pinned Boss to the ground yet again, Kenneth was about to stab him with his dagger when Boss' subordinate raised his gun to shoot Kenneth. He had barely moved when he was shot in the head and crashed to the ground.
Nobody dared to make any moves after that.
Kenneth's body was covered with blood.
It was a gory scene.
A bloodthirsty look appeared in Kenneth's eyes as he gazed at Boss. Slowly, he pushed the dagger into Boss' body.
Boss did his very best to resist but to no avail. He could only watch as the dagger impaled his chest.
Suddenly, Boss asked, “J, how is Natasha doing?”
Kenneth froze briefly upon hearing his question.
“Does she still suffer from splitting headaches? Is she doing any better?” Boss continued.
Kenneth narrowed his eyes and hissed, “It was you?”
As soon as he got distracted, Boss grabbed the chance to fight back and flipped over, pinning Kenneth underneath him.
He then proceeded to beat Kenneth up and pointed the same dagger at the latter.
A smirk teased at his lips as he said, “Kenneth, I wanted to spare your life to torture you, but you're quite annoying. Don't blame me for sending you to hell right now.”
The dagger slowly came closer to Kenneth's body.
Not far away, Dave spotted the turn of events and furrowed his brows.
“Kenneth?” he whispered.
“What did you do to her?” Finally, Kenneth regained his senses and asked a question.
“You're curious, huh? Alas, you don't have the chance to find out the truth.” Boss lowered the dagger and stabbed it into Kenneth's flesh.
“Urgh!” Kenneth hissed in pain.
“Kenneth!” Dave got worried.
He could fire a shot to kill Boss instantly, but Boss seemed to know something about Natasha's condition. Besides, Kenneth also mentioned that he wanted to take care of Boss personally. Dave couldn't help but grow anxious.
After the dagger pierced Kenneth, Boss even twisted it on purpose to torment the former.
Kenneth glared at him, his eyes all bloodshot.
Boss chuckled. “J, if you beg me, I might be kind enough to end your pain.”
A smile nudged Kenneth's lips. Without warning, he grabbed a fistful of soil and tossed it in Boss' direction. When Boss closed his eyes instinctively, Kenneth rolled away and got to his feet.
Boss quickly realized what was going on, and they got into yet another fight.
Kenneth was wounded, but he was more hysterical than before. His attacks were quick, ferocious, and ruthless. Gradually, Boss was at a disadvantage again.
He got beaten up so badly that he even coughed out bile.
Kenneth held him down. With the same dagger, he stabbed Boss and twisted it around, giving him a taste of his own medicine.
“Argh!” Boss screamed in pain.
As if he had gone crazy, Kenneth kept his gaze on Boss and pressed the dagger on the latter's neck.
Before he could do anything, Boss quickly reminded him, “J, if you kill me, Natasha won't survive.”
Indeed, his words managed to pull Kenneth back to his senses.
“What did you do to her?” Kenneth demanded hoarsely. In the dark, his eyes were like blocks of ice, sending chills down one's spine.
