Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 712

Chapter 712 Reliable Rumors

It took Kenneth twenty minutes to complete a half-an-hour journey.

After parking the car at an inconspicuous spot, Kenneth walked toward Mike and asked, “What's the situation?”

Mike was looking somewhere with his binoculars, and he quickly turned around when he heard Kenneth's voice. “Hey, Kenneth.”

Kenneth took the binoculars from him and peered through them. Somewhere far away, Boss could be seen sitting in a car, and he was surrounded by guards who appeared wary.

Meanwhile, Mike reported, “They're on high alert. I think when the goods arrive, he's definitely not going to appear personally. Instead, he's going to ask his men to examine the goods. Besides, I've never seen the men he brought along today. I bet these are the people he has been training discreetly.”

A smirk appeared on Kenneth's face when he heard that. “It's not surprising, considering that he was able to sit in this position directly after the death of General Will. I think he has been planning this for a long time.”

Mike nodded. “Rumors say that General Will isn't dead. Instead, he's been poisoned and imprisoned by Boss. However, we don't know if that's true.”

There wasn't a single wavering of emotion in Kenneth when he heard those words. “At times, rumors are more reliable because they tend to be closest to the truth. If that's really the case, the whole situation would make more sense.”

Mike nodded in acknowledgment.

“At the same time, that means Boss isn't an ordinary man. We must proceed cautiously,” Kenneth urged.

“Got it, Kenneth.” Mike nodded.

“How are things going with the assistant?” Kenneth asked.

“We haven't heard any news yet, so it's safe to assume nothing has happened.”

A deep frown marred Kenneth's mien.

Right then, Kenneth's phone started vibrating. Seeing that it was a call from Dave, Kenneth answered it. “Hello?”

“We're here,” Dave replied.

“How's the situation?”

“He left some of his men here, but they shouldn't be too hard to handle,” Dave answered.

Kenneth mulled over it and cast his gaze into the distance. “Be careful,” he whispered.

“He'll surely be informed the moment we make our move. Therefore, you ought to be careful as well.”

“Okay.”

“By the way, have you heard anything from Natasha?” Dave asked.

“No.”

“I'll keep an eye out.”

Kenneth lowered his gaze and changed the topic by saying, “We'll move in five minutes. I will deliver the goods to him first to stall him.”

“Okay.”

With that, the phone call ended.

When Kenneth turned around, he saw that Mike had also just gotten off the phone. Mike reported, “Kenneth, Boss said if the goods aren't arriving soon, he's going to cancel the deal.”

The corners of Kenneth's lips curled into a smirk. “I doubt he can bear to cancel the deal. After all, this is a big batch of goods.”

“In that case, should we just keep him waiting?”

“No. Get ready to deliver the goods to him,” Kenneth replied.

“Are we really delivering the goods?”

“If we don't do that, he's not going to take the bait, is he?” Kenneth mumbled.

Mike pursed his lips. “All right, then. It's such a shame because that's a huge batch of goods.”

“Let's move,” Kenneth uttered.

Mike nodded and said to the person on the other end of the earpiece, “Bring the cars here.”

Two minutes later, two cars appeared from a hidden spot. Mike gave Kenneth an earpiece and said, “Boss, this is for you. You can talk to me if there's anything.”

Kenneth looked at the earpiece and replied, “There's no need for that.”

“Huh?”

“I'm going with you.”

Mike was visibly confused when he heard that.

Gazing into the distance, Kenneth said, “The plan has changed. Let's go.”

When Mike saw Kenneth walking toward the car, Mike grew excited.

“Are you serious, Kenneth?” Mike asked.

By then, Kenneth had already gotten into the car. He looked at Mike and asked, “Do I look like I'm joking?”

If Kenneth wasn't serious about it, he wouldn't have gotten into the car.

“You drive. I need to be hidden,” Kenneth said.

Mike knew what Kenneth meant.

After taking the car key, Mike climbed into the vehicle excitedly. Right when they were about to drive off, Alexia approached the car and hopped in.

Kenneth immediately turned to her.

“I can help,” Alexia said.

“You've already delayed things with your slow driving just now,” Kenneth uttered frankly.

Alexia knew whatever she said would be deemed as an excuse. Hence, she answered honestly, “I won't commit the same mistake again.”

Kenneth merely glared at her in silence.

Seeing that, Alexia said, “I've never put a foot wrong on missions. You may ask Mike if that's true.” With that, she looked in front, hoping that Mike would say something to help her case.

“Okoy.”

With thot, the phone coll ended.

When Kenneth turned oround, he sow thot Mike hod olso just gotten off the phone. Mike reported, “Kenneth, Boss soid if the goods oren't orriving soon, he's going to concel the deol.”

The corners of Kenneth's lips curled into o smirk. “I doubt he con beor to concel the deol. After oll, this is o big botch of goods.”

“In thot cose, should we just keep him woiting?”

“No. Get reody to deliver the goods to him,” Kenneth replied.

“Are we reolly delivering the goods?”

“If we don't do thot, he's not going to toke the boit, is he?” Kenneth mumbled.

Mike pursed his lips. “All right, then. It's such o shome becouse thot's o huge botch of goods.”

“Let's move,” Kenneth uttered.

Mike nodded ond soid to the person on the other end of the eorpiece, “Bring the cors here.”

Two minutes loter, two cors oppeored from o hidden spot. Mike gove Kenneth on eorpiece ond soid, “Boss, this is for you. You con tolk to me if there's onything.”

Kenneth looked ot the eorpiece ond replied, “There's no need for thot.”

“Huh?”

“I'm going with you.”

Mike wos visibly confused when he heord thot.

Gozing into the distonce, Kenneth soid, “The plon hos chonged. Let's go.”

When Mike sow Kenneth wolking toword the cor, Mike grew excited.

“Are you serious, Kenneth?” Mike osked.

By then, Kenneth hod olreody gotten into the cor. He looked ot Mike ond osked, “Do I look like I'm joking?”

If Kenneth wosn't serious obout it, he wouldn't hove gotten into the cor.

“You drive. I need to be hidden,” Kenneth soid.

Mike knew whot Kenneth meont.

After toking the cor key, Mike climbed into the vehicle excitedly. Right when they were obout to drive off, Alexio opprooched the cor ond hopped in.

Kenneth immediotely turned to her.

“I con help,” Alexio soid.

“You've olreody deloyed things with your slow driving just now,” Kenneth uttered fronkly.

Alexio knew whotever she soid would be deemed os on excuse. Hence, she onswered honestly, “I won't commit the some mistoke ogoin.”

Kenneth merely glored ot her in silence.

Seeing thot, Alexio soid, “I've never put o foot wrong on missions. You moy osk Mike if thot's true.” With thot, she looked in front, hoping thot Mike would soy something to help her cose.

In the driver's seat, Mike was stunned momentarily at suddenly being cued. He then subconsciously turned his gaze toward Kenneth. In the end, he said, “She's right. She rarely makes mistakes during missions.”

“I've never made mistakes,” Alexia corrected him.

“Yes. That sounds right.” Mike nodded. Truth be told, he was never one to pay attention to details.

Despite hearing what Mike said, Kenneth was still frowning.

“I really can help you guys!” Alexia was eager to prove herself.

A while later, Kenneth uttered flatly, “It doesn't matter if you can help us. I would be grateful if you don't hold us back.”

“I won't—”

Before she could finish her sentence, Kenneth turned to the front and instructed, “Drive, Mike.”

Alexia was hesitant to say anything further, but a complicated look crossed her eyes as she stared at Kenneth.

Mike heard his order and started driving.

While driving, he looked at Alexia through the rearview mirror and said, “That's just how Kenneth is. He has a sharp tongue, that's all. Don't take it to heart!”

Alexia heard those words and turned to peek at Kenneth once again. As long as he can keep me around and let me repay him, I don't mind what he says or does. Besides, I will surely show him my capabilities.

With that in mind, Alexia took a deep breath and suppressed her troubling thoughts.

Meanwhile, Kenneth was looking out the window and focusing on the mission with a stern expression on.

As Mike was driving, he couldn't help but glance at Kenneth and utter excitedly, “Kenneth, I suddenly feel the same way I did when I first met you. At that time, we were on a mission together. You taught me everything I know today. Who would've known that I would still have the opportunity to go on a mission with you again?”

Upon hearing that, Kenneth cast a glance at him. “Oh? Are you that excited?”

“A little,” Mike answered.

In response, Kenneth shot him an icy glare. Obviously, Kenneth didn't feel the same way because he would rather not be in that situation. That way, Natasha wouldn't be in danger.

Kenneth couldn't help frowning when Natasha popped up in his mind. Let's hope we're not too late...
