Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 713

Chapter 713 Double Cross

Shortly after, they arrived in front of Boss and his men, and those men immediately went on their guard.

Boss was still seated in the car, and it seemed like he wasn't planning to show himself.

Before Mike got out of the car, Kenneth hinted that he had already put on his earpiece.

Seeing that, Mike looked outside and gave a slight nod before getting out of the car.

Mike seemed to have changed into a different person upon exiting the vehicle. Gone was his earlier serious demeanor in the car, replaced with a flippant attitude.

“Sorry to have kept everyone waiting! I got held up on the way here, but thankfully, I made it in time,” Mike said.

“You are very late,” a man from the other party said.

“Well, yes. Just a little, though!” Mike nodded and turned toward the two trucks behind him. “Good things come to those who wait, no? What I have is super pure!”

That man from the other party was rendered speechless. He then turned to look at another person behind him. Upon getting the instruction, that man said, “In that case, we shall examine the goods now.”

“Sure! Examine away. However, I need to talk to your boss,” Mike said.

“What do you mean?”

“I need something extra.”

“Are you increasing the price?”

“Yes.” Mike nodded. “I had to go through so much to bring the goods here. Based on the risks I've taken, I don't think increasing the price by a little is such a big issue.”

“There are rules in the underground circle, and increasing the price at the last moment isn't right,” that man uttered coldly.

With an annoyed expression, Mike argued, “Neither of us is from the underground circle, so let's not talk about those rules. Also, since you can't make the decisions, perhaps you should let me talk to your boss.”

Sure enough, that man immediately turned around as soon as Mike finished his sentence.

Mike took this opportunity to size everyone up.

At the same time, Kenneth was paying attention to everything that was happening outside the car. Usually, a fight would ensue. Yet, I bet Boss will agree to the last-minute increase in price.

As expected, Boss exited the car a moment later and said to Mike, “Sure. I agree.”

Mike was slightly surprised to see Boss, but he quickly composed himself.

“How about the money? Did you bring enough money?” Mike asked. At that moment, he was playing the perfect part of someone who did not keep promises and only cared about money.

The expression on Boss' face was calm, not even a hint of annoyance could be seen. “Don't worry about the money. You'll get paid as promised.”

“If I don't see the money, I'm not letting you examine the goods.” Mike shook his head.

“You...”

Mike acted as though he were ready to walk off.

After pondering for a moment, Boss made a gesture with his fingers. In the next second, a man came forward with two briefcases and opened them up to show the cash inside.

“Is that enough?” Boss asked.

Seeing that, Mike nodded. “Yes! That's enough, of course.”

“Can we examine the goods now?” Boss asked.

Mike nodded and turned to look behind him. “Open the doors!”

Two men came out of the trucks and opened the doors.

Boss' men saw that and went to examine the goods.

Meanwhile, Mike merely stood there and said nothing.

All of a sudden, Boss' phone rang. Lifting it to check the screen, he knitted his brows instantly.

Mike noticed that and grew cautious.

Just a moment later, Boss calmly kept his phone away.

That was about the time the men were done examining the goods, and they nodded at Boss.

Boss narrowed his eyes and said, “In that case, let's make the deal.”

Mike nodded. “Okay.”

The man with the briefcases brought the money forward while some other of Boss' men quickly closed the doors on the trucks.

Right as they were about to drive the trucks away, Mike suddenly voiced while looking at the cash in the briefcases. “Wait! Shouldn't I inspect the cash first?”

The man with the briefcases was stunned.

Mike signaled someone behind him to check the cash.

However, before that man could get close to the briefcases, Boss' men suddenly whipped out their guns and pointed them at Mike and the others.

Seeing that, Mike immediately drew his weapon as well. With a smirk on his face, he exclaimed, “Are you guys planning on crossing me?”

In response, Boss looked at Mike and said in a cold tone, “Well, you were wrong for asking for more money on the spot, so you shouldn't blame me for showing you no mercy.”

With that, Boss grinned and turned around to leave.

Right then, a loud gunshot echoed in the air, and a bullet landed right next to Boss' foot.

Boss halted in his tracks and turned around once again.

There, he saw Kenneth pointing a gun at him. With a smile, Kenneth said, “It's been a while, Boss.”

The expression on Boss' foce wos colm, not even o hint of onnoyonce could be seen. “Don't worry obout the money. You'll get poid os promised.”

“If I don't see the money, I'm not letting you exomine the goods.” Mike shook his heod.

“You...”

“Is thot enough?” Boss osked.

Seeing thot, Mike nodded. “Yes! Thot's enough, of course.”

“Con we exomine the goods now?” Boss osked.

Mike nodded ond turned to look behind him. “Open the doors!”

Boss' men sow thot ond went to exomine the goods.

Meonwhile, Mike merely stood there ond soid nothing.

All of o sudden, Boss' phone rong. Lifting it to check the screen, he knitted his brows instontly.

Boss norrowed his eyes ond soid, “In thot cose, let's moke the deol.”

Mike nodded. “Okoy.”

Right os they were obout to drive the trucks owoy, Mike suddenly voiced while looking ot the cosh in the briefcoses. “Woit! Shouldn't I inspect the cosh first?”

The mon with the briefcoses wos stunned.

Mike signoled someone behind him to check the cosh.

However, before thot mon could get close to the briefcoses, Boss' men suddenly whipped out their guns ond pointed them ot Mike ond the others.

Seeing thot, Mike immediotely drew his weopon os well. With o smirk on his foce, he excloimed, “Are you guys plonning on crossing me?”

In response, Boss looked ot Mike ond soid in o cold tone, “Well, you were wrong for osking for more money on the spot, so you shouldn't blome me for showing you no mercy.”

With thot, Boss grinned ond turned oround to leove.

Boss holted in his trocks ond turned oround once ogoin.

There, he sow Kenneth pointing o gun ot him. With o smile, Kenneth soid, “It's been o while, Boss.”

Boss was shocked to see Kenneth.

“What's the matter? Are you surprised to see me?” Kenneth asked with a calm expression.

Boss scanned the surroundings and asked, “Did you set this up?”

“Yes.” Kenneth nodded.

Boss laughed in response.

Meanwhile, Mike snatched the briefcases and opened one of them. It turned out that the briefcase was filled with blank sheets of paper, with only some banknotes at the top.

Seeing that, Mike thundered, “I knew it! You guys are a bunch of poor b*stards! No wonder you agreed to pay me more when I asked for it. How despicable! Fortunately for us, this is a set-up! Otherwise, we would've suffered a huge loss!”

Boss kept mum.

Mike then opened up the other briefcase and examined it before saying to Kenneth, “Kenneth, this one is real.”

Kenneth remained quiet as he stared at Boss.

Mike knew what that meant, so he quickly kept the box and handed it to Alexia. “Keep it properly! Don't let those poor b*stards snatch it back!”

It was a blatant humiliation.

Boss glanced at Kenneth and asked, “So? What are you going to do next? Are you going to kill me?”

“I'm dying to kill you. In fact, I want nothing more than to kill you now,” Kenneth replied.

“However, that's not what you're going to do because if you kill me, your woman is doomed.”

“I can still get the antidote after killing you.”

“Is that so? Are you talking about those men you sent to search for it at my house?” Boss questioned.

Kenneth wasn't surprised Boss knew about that because he knew the latter would be informed the moment they made their move. However, there must be another reason why Boss is still as cool as a cucumber.

“Let me tell you something. They're not going to find the antidote there. Instead, they are going to die there,” Boss enunciated clearly while looking at Kenneth.

“I think your men have most probably been wiped out by now,” Kenneth replied.

In a casual and calm manner, Boss responded, “Kenneth, do you still remember what happened when you escaped from there the last time around?”

While Kenneth seemed to be thinking about something as he was looking at Boss, Boss whipped out a phone from his pocket. “If I press the button on this now, the place will be reduced to nothing but rubble. Naturally, those men are going to die there.”
