Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 670

Chapter 670

After a while of small talk, Kenneth said, “Don't let Nat learn about this.”

“Okay, I got it.”

“That's all for now. We'll talk about the rest after getting back.”

“Okay.”

With that, the phone call ended.

Anthony was searching for something in the car when he asked, “Daddy, where did Mr. Dave say the auto-launch button was again?”

“Why are you looking for that?”

“To make sure it's where it is. That way, we'll be able to use it if we're under attack again.”

Benjamin was speechless to hear that.

Kenneth looked around the interior of the car before landing his gaze on a spot. He reached out to press the spot, and the screen above changed. The design plan of the car was on it, and there were three machine-gun-barrel-looking items on the top, bottom, and sides of the car.

“There it is,” Anthony said.

Benjamin leaned over as well. After a while of studying it, he said, “Mr. Dave didn't just install one side; he installed four.”

“Can you really modify the car in this way?” Anthony wondered out loud.

“You can achieve anything with money,” Benjamin replied. “But this means some of the other functions might have to be forgone.”

“You know about this?” Anthony looked at his brother in shock.

“I'm only guessing based on the structure,” Benjamin answered nonchalantly before turning to Kenneth. “Daddy, can I take a look?”

“I don't know how this works. Search for it yourself.”

Benjamin began studying the car.

He looked for the circuit based on the position of the installations and continued searching from there on.

Anthony just watched him from the side without disturbing him, for there was nothing he could help his brother with anyway. Benjamin was just like Natasha when he was serious about something, and Anthony did not dare to disturb him.

A moment later, Benjamin announced happily, “I found it!” He then lifted his head to look at Kenneth. “Daddy, can you open this for me?”

Kenneth glanced at him from the rearview mirror and replied, “I'll try.”

He searched the car before instinctively reaching out for a spot.

“Wait, Daddy,” Anthony suddenly stopped him. “Are you sure this is the one?”

Kenneth confessed, “No.”

Anthony blinked. “Then did the people in the car behind us crossed us or something?”

It was then Kenneth recalled that Mike's car was still behind theirs.

It was then Kenneth recalled that Mike's car was still behind theirs.

He took his phone and called Mike. “Mike, don't drive behind me. Move to the side.”

“Got it.”

Upon receiving his response, Kenneth pressed the button without hesitation.

Fortunately, Kenneth's instincts were right.

The left structure changed once he pressed the button. The middle part started lifting and lowering, and a few seconds later, the section opened to reveal many bullets with powerful penetrating capabilities.

When Benjamin saw it, his eyes lit up. “Mr. Dave's such a generous man!”

Anthony glanced over. “What's the matter?”

“If we had used these earlier, the car behind us would have been filled with holes.”

“Is it that powerful?”

Benjamin nodded. “Of course. Look at the tip of the bullet. It's been modified for stronger piercing capabilities. As long as it hits its target, its target is unlikely to escape unscathed.” As he spoke, he took one to show Anthony.

However, Anthony could not figure out what was different about it.

At the sight of Anthony's confusion, Benjamin asked, “You can't see the difference?”

Anthony shook his head.

“Look at this part. There's a line over here. If my guess is right, this must be where Mr. Dave has got people to modify it.”

Anthony could barely understand what Benjamin was trying to tell him.

“Do you get it?” Benjamin asked.

“What do you think?” Anthony returned the question.

Benjamin chuckled. “It's fine. I'll tell you more about this in the future. You just need to know that these things are powerful, that's all.”

Right then, Anthony took one of the bullets to study it before turning to Benjamin. “You've learned this much already?”

“Is it a lot? These won't be enough.” Benjamin shook his head.

Anthony put the bullet back and commented, “My computer's the best. I know it, and it knows me. It's unlike these things. They're too brain-power-consuming.”

“How is it that brain-power-consuming? These are so much easier to understand than computers,” Benjamin responded as he looked at the bullets as if they were priceless treasures.

Anthony fell silent at that. Well, each to their own.

Kenneth, who had been listening to their conversation, narrowed his eyes.

“Benjamin, do you like these things?” he asked.

Benjamin carefully placed the bullets back in their original positions. “Mm.”

“He wouldn't have wanted to go to Mr. Dave's armory the other time otherwise,” Anthony chimed in.

“Wasn't that part of your diversion tactic?” Kenneth asked.

“It was, but he truly liked it as well,” Anthony replied. “Benjamin likes studying things like these.”

While Anthony was answering for him, Benjamin was still observing the design of the structure.

Kenneth narrowed his eyes further, seemingly deep in his thoughts.

Right then, Anthony recalled something, and he leaned forward. “Daddy, do we have someone in the family who does these things?”

“Why do you ask?”

“Where else did our strong genes come from? I inherited Nat's genes, and Nat inherited Granddad's genes. What about Benjamin?” Anthony turned around. “I don't remember Nat saying that Granny did this. It can't be gene mutation, right?”

“Your granny didn't, but what about your grandma?” Kenneth suddenly pointed out.

“Grandma?” It was an unfamiliar term to Anthony, who turned back to Kenneth at its mention. “Daddy, are you talking about your mommy?”

Kenneth nodded.

The word “grandma” never existed in the lives of both boys, so even Benjamin was attracted to the conversation when he heard it.

“What did Grandma work as?” Anthony asked.

“She was a researcher.”

“A researcher? What did she research?” Anthony asked again.

Kenneth went quiet, seemingly having lost himself in some kind of indescribable emotions.

“It can't be the same as what Benjamin's studying now, right?”

Kenneth inclined his head. “It's almost the same, but I'm not sure about the details since it's confidential.”

Anthony nodded thoughtfully. “So that's where Benjamin's genes come from.”

“Then... what happened to Grandma?” Benjamin asked.

“Something happened to her,” was all Kenneth said in a calm tone, but Anthony could see the flash of pain that flickered past his eyes.

Anthony and Benjamin shared a look in silence.

They had never asked anything about Kenneth's history. This was their first time hearing about his story, and they were hearing it from Kenneth himself. For a moment, the boys did not know what to say to him.
