Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 607

Chapter 607

The second he finished his sentence, a loud bang sounded out.

Kenneth had attacked the back of Boss' head, causing Boss' face to slam right onto the steering wheel.

Boss didn't see that coming, for he didn't expect to be attacked while he was driving. When his head hit the steering wheel, the car began to shake and swerve.

They were on a mountain road.

If the car continued to sway, they would either collide against the mountain wall or fall off the cliff. Just as the car was about to steer off the cliff, Boss hastily turned the steering wheel in the nick of time and stomped on the brake.

By then, half of the car bumper was already dangling in the air, and the wheel was right at the edge of the cliff.

It was a perilous situation.

At that moment, Kenneth, who was in the backseat, was tensed, but there was not a single trace of fear on his face.

It was as if he had expected the situation.

Boss then lifted his head and looked at Kenneth through the rearview mirror. “Aren't you afraid of dying?”

Kenneth curled his lips in disdain. “I am, but I'm not as scared since you're going to be cushioning me!”

Boss shot him a glare at that.

Right then, Kenneth leaned forward and warned, “I've given you a warning. Focus on the road. If I hear any more nonsense from you, you'll find what just happened earlier a far better scenario to face.”

It was only then Boss changed gears and reversed the car.

After slowly getting back on the road, they continued on their way.

“You would've fallen off this place if I didn't step on the brake in time,” Boss muttered.

“Not just me. You'll be with me too,” Kenneth corrected.

Boss gave him a glance but said nothing else as he continued driving.

Despite his silence, Boss was driving much slower than before.

How could Kenneth not know what Boss was thinking about?

“What's the matter? Are you waiting for your men to come and rescue you?” he asked.

“I don't know what you're talking about.”

Kenneth smiled at his reply, but he did not bother urging the other man to speed up.

Just as Boss was finding Kenneth's reaction strange, a car sped toward them from behind.

Thinking that the car was there to rescue him, Boss slowed down.

Alas, Boss was too late to realize something amiss about the situation—he only figured it out when the car was right behind them. He was about to speed up again when Kenneth's knife shifted. “Stop the car.”





















































Boss was forced to obey.

The other car soon came to a stop at the side of the road. After the car window wound down, Dave stepped out from the other car.

Kenneth and Dave did not say anything to each other. They only shared a look.

Then, Dave walked over to the driver's seat to look at the driver. In the next second, Kenneth swung a punch at Boss. Just as Boss opened his mouth to moan in pain, Dave shoved something into his mouth and forced him to swallow it.

Boss sneered. “Ha. No wonder you weren't worried when I slowed down. So this is how it is. What kind of poison did you give me?”

Dave took his time answering, “Nothing great—just some kind of poison that Spencer developed. He hasn't named it, but I heard that it's quite potent, so I used you as a lab rat.”

Boss stiffened when he heard that, and he turned to Kenneth. “What now? Are we still going to get the antidote?”

“What do you think?” Kenneth threw the question back at him.

“Sit tight, then.” With that, Boss started the engine and drove off.

“Be careful,” was what Dave tried to say to Kenneth, but the car was gone before he could even finish his sentence.

Hence, he could only knit his brows as he watched the car disappear beyond the horizon.

Soon, the car went past the bustling city and drove into a remote area.

Kenneth scanned his surroundings while keeping an eye on Boss.

“What's the matter? Are you afraid?” Boss asked.

Kenneth returned his gaze to Boss before grinning, unperturbed. “I'd like to see whether your plan's faster or my knife's faster.”

Boss pursed his lips and glanced at Kenneth. “A reminder for you. There are plenty of people in my house, too.”

“So?” Kenneth questioned.

“Nothing. I'm just reminding you about it.”

“Don't worry. I have my own way to leave this place.”

Boss scoffed and drove the car into the courtyard.

Right as they entered the premise, someone came over.

Kenneth immediately cocked the gun and said, “Am I going to get out of the car while visibly holding you hostage, or shall I make an excuse to get them to leave?”

Boss did not speak.

Right then, the person walked over, and the car window wound down. Just as that person was about to ask questions, he registered Boss' face and immediately said, “Oh, Boss, it's you.”

Boss glanced outside and said, “Have the men leave first.”

The person froze before subconsciously looking at the man in the backseat.

“What's the matter? Do you need me to repeat my order?” Boss questioned.

The person returned to his senses and nodded. “All right. I understand.”

Thus, he looked away and conveyed the order through the walkie-talkie. “We're leaving.”

Kenneth kept quiet as he observed the situation.

Once everyone was gone, the person outside the car turned to Boss.

“You should leave too,” Boss said.

Hence, the person gave one last glance at the inside of the car before walking away.

Without turning around, Boss asked, “Is this to your satisfaction?”

“Get down from the car,” was Kenneth's answer.

The car door swung open.

The two of them then alighted from the car with Kenneth's gun trained on Boss' back the entire time.

“Which way do we go?” Kenneth asked.

“Inside,” Boss replied with a gesture.

“Lead the way.”

Boss then headed straight down the path while Kenneth followed him.

The decoration inside the large house was surprisingly simple. There were not many pieces of furniture, and the house looked far from cozy, nor did it look lived-in.

With Boss leading the way, they took the elevator to the third floor.

Kenneth slightly raised his head to look at the surveillance camera when they were in the elevator. Then, he lifted his gun and destroyed the camera with one shot before pressing the gun against Boss' back again.

Ding!

The elevator doors opened, and when Kenneth raked his gaze at the scene outside the elevator, he realized the third floor was nothing like the first floor. Instead of a residential area, it looked more like a workshop.

Kenneth was right behind Boss when the latter stepped out of the elevator.

“Where's the antidote?” Kenneth asked.

Boss signaled him to look in front of them. Three meters away from them was a door.

Kenneth narrowed his eyes as his gaze darkened.

“Let's go,” he uttered.

Boss continued walking forward.

There was a facial recognition device in front of the door, and when Boss reached it, he stood in front of it for a while. Once the machine registered his face, he keyed in the passcode. Shortly after, the door unlocked.

Boss took another step forward to push the door open. He then turned around to face Kenneth and said, “The antidote is inside.”

Kenneth scrutinized him for a while before grabbing the latter's shoulder and pushing him into the room while warily surveying the area.
