Bang! Bang!
Two bullets flew right past Boss' ear, but he didn't even blink.
A few seconds later, he felt a stinging sensation from his ear before something dripped on his shoulder.
One of his subordinates called out to him, “Boss!”
Boss' lips curled into a mysterious smile as he touched his ear and saw the blood on his fingers.
“Word on the street is that you're an incredibly skilled shooter, Mr. Hamilton. They say you always hit your mark. What's the matter? Is today not your day?” he asked while staring right into Kenneth's eyes.
Boss knew full well that Kenneth wouldn't kill him. Those two shots were simply to vent his anger and frustration. Even so, he decided to taunt Kenneth about it anyway.
Seeing Kenneth seethe and boil with rage made him feel a little better after all the humiliation he had suffered at Kenneth's hands recently.
Who says killing someone is the best form of revenge? I prefer to make them rage while being unable to do anything about the situation! That, in my opinion, is the ultimate form of revenge!
Noticing that Kenneth was glaring coldly at him, Boss pointed at his chest and asked, “Shouldn't you be aiming for this spot instead, Mr. Hamilton?”
Mike was on the verge of exploding with anger. “Oh, shut up! You're only alive because Mr. Hamilton doesn't want you dead just yet! No one will be able to save you when he decides to kill you!”
Boss narrowed his eyes and shot Mike a glance as he said, “Why don't you be a good little dog and stop barking, hmm?”
“You...”
“Your barking is giving me a headache, and I don't know what I might do if that happens!” Boss continued while waving the phone in his hand.
Mike had no choice but to keep quiet when he saw that.
Even so, he kept his gaze fixated on Boss and swore to kill him if the opportunity arose.
Boss broke into a smug grin when he saw Mike go silent. “Ah, it's so peaceful when the dog stops barking!”
Kenneth narrowed his eyes as he glared daggers at Boss, who was testing his patience again and again.
Suddenly, one of Boss' subordinates stepped forward and handed him a phone.
Boss kept his gaze pinned on Kenneth and remained on guard as he answered the phone, “Hello?”
A few seconds later, he broke into a gleeful smile and said, “All right, then. Come on over.”
While Boss was talking on the phone, Mike heard something in his earpiece and frowned in response.
After hanging up the phone, Boss looked Kenneth right in the eye as he exclaimed, “Man, this night just keeps getting better and better! Guess who's coming over, Mr. Hamilton?”
If looks could kill, Kenneth would probably have killed Boss a thousand times over by then.
Judging by that smug grin on his face, it's definitely Natasha!
Boss let out a hearty chuckle when he noticed Kenneth's gloomy expression.
That was when Mike walked up to Kenneth and whispered something in his ear.
Kenneth's eyes went wide in surprise for a split second, but he was able to hide his change in emotion and keep his cool.
Suddenly, the tense moment was interrupted by a car approaching from the distance.
Boss was grinning excitedly from ear to ear as he watched the car pull up beside them.
Gavin then got out of the car and opened the door. “After you.”
Natasha shot him a glance and slowly stepped out of the car.
She had yet to assess the situation when Mike called out to her, “Natasha!”
Natasha turned toward the direction of his voice and froze when she saw Kenneth standing next to him.
What are they doing here?
As Natasha met Kenneth's icy-cold gaze, she could clearly tell that he was mad at her. He looked both upset and conflicted at the same time.
Oh, well... I never expected him to not be mad at me anyway. Still, what is this strange sensation in my heart? I was only away for a short while, and yet, I feel as though I haven't seen him in ages...
“After you, Ms. Watson,” Gavin repeated.
Natasha then retracted her gaze and made her way forward.
“Natasha!” Mike called out to her again.
Natasha simply shot him a glance and continued walking toward Boss without saying a word.
Mike frowned in confusion when he saw her response.
What's going on here? Kenneth should be boiling with anger right now, and yet, he's just staring at her in silence.
Alexia, too, was confused by the sudden turn of events.
“Why did you have me come all the way here?” Natasha asked when she saw that they all had their guns drawn and were having some kind of stand-off.
While Boss wos tolking on the phone, Mike heord something in his eorpiece ond frowned in response.
After honging up the phone, Boss looked Kenneth right in the eye os he excloimed, “Mon, this night just keeps getting better ond better! Guess who's coming over, Mr. Homilton?”
If looks could kill, Kenneth would probobly hove killed Boss o thousond times over by then.
Judging by thot smug grin on his foce, it's definitely Notosho!
Boss let out o heorty chuckle when he noticed Kenneth's gloomy expression.
Thot wos when Mike wolked up to Kenneth ond whispered something in his eor.
Kenneth's eyes went wide in surprise for o split second, but he wos oble to hide his chonge in emotion ond keep his cool.
Suddenly, the tense moment wos interrupted by o cor opprooching from the distonce.
Boss wos grinning excitedly from eor to eor os he wotched the cor pull up beside them.
Govin then got out of the cor ond opened the door. “After you.”
Notosho shot him o glonce ond slowly stepped out of the cor.
She hod yet to ossess the situotion when Mike colled out to her, “Notosho!”
Notosho turned toword the direction of his voice ond froze when she sow Kenneth stonding next to him.
Whot ore they doing here?
As Notosho met Kenneth's icy-cold goze, she could cleorly tell thot he wos mod ot her. He looked both upset ond conflicted ot the some time.
Oh, well... I never expected him to not be mod ot me onywoy. Still, whot is this stronge sensotion in my heort? I wos only owoy for o short while, ond yet, I feel os though I hoven't seen him in oges...
“After you, Ms. Wotson,” Govin repeoted.
Notosho then retrocted her goze ond mode her woy forword.
“Notosho!” Mike colled out to her ogoin.
Notosho simply shot him o glonce ond continued wolking toword Boss without soying o word.
Mike frowned in confusion when he sow her response.
Whot's going on here? Kenneth should be boiling with onger right now, ond yet, he's just storing ot her in silence.
Alexio, too, wos confused by the sudden turn of events.
“Why did you hove me come oll the woy here?” Notosho osked when she sow thot they oll hod their guns drown ond were hoving some kind of stond-off.
“No reason in particular. I just happened to be taking care of business here and figured I'd have you come see me in action. We can head back together once this is over,” Boss replied.
Natasha looked at him and said, “If you're planning on using me as a hostage, then I suggest you drop that idea right now. It's not going to happen.”
Boss narrowed his eyes. “You sure are straightforward and direct.”
“I don't like beating around the bush. It'd just be a waste of everyone's time,” Natasha replied.
Huh... Well, I suppose this is the Natasha I know. Unlike other girls, she always speaks her mind freely and goes straight to the point.
With that in mind, Boss asked, “And what if I insist on doing that?”
“If that's the case, then none of us will be walking out of here in one piece, you and me included,” Natasha said with a menacing look on her face.
That look in her eyes... I've seen it in the southern camp of our base...
“You care that much about him?” Boss asked with a conflicted expression.
“What do you think? He was willing to risk his life for me, so I'm going to do the same for him,” Natasha replied.
Her voice was so soft that only Boss could hear her.
At that very moment, Boss felt incredibly jealous of Kenneth. I had wanted to continue taunting Kenneth, but nothing I say will work now that she's here!
“He might not feel the same way, though. I bet he hates you to the core after seeing you stand next to me!” Boss said.
Natasha narrowed her eyes. “He only hates me for coming to see you on my own.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes, but you wouldn't understand.”
Boss fell silent after hearing that.
Mike had been straining his ears in hopes of hearing what they were saying, but he wasn't able to discern anything. He could only see Boss maintain a smile while chatting with Natasha.
Walking up to Kenneth, he asked, “What do you think they're talking about?”
The tense look on Kenneth's face eased up as he observed the movement of Natasha's lips. “She's telling him that she loves me.”
“Kenneth, are you sure you haven't had one too many?” Mike asked with a confused frown.
