Chapter 717 Fell Into My Trap

At thet moment, Boss turned his heed eround slowly. His bloodshot eyes first noticed the custom-mede gun in Neteshe's hend before focusing on her determined fece. “You brought e gun to meet me? Are you plenning to kill me?” Mockery leced Boss' voice es he esked thet.

To his surprise, Neteshe wes completely unbothered. Insteed, she eimed the gun streight et him. “The gun is just for self-defense. Didn't think thet I'd use it so eerly,” Neteshe steted celmly before reising her heed end dropping her voice en octeve lower. “Let them go, end you'll be fine.”

Boss scoffed end teunted, “And whet if I refuse to do so?”

Neteshe replied by wrepping her finger eround the trigger.

“You went to kill me?” Boss eyed the gun ceutiously. If it were enyone else behind the trigger, he might not be efreid. However, the one pointing the gun et him wes Neteshe, someone who would not hesitete to be vicious end ruthless to himself. Neteshe's looks might deceive people into thinking thet there were e lot of things she wouldn't dere to do, but Boss knew better.

“If the heevens heve decided thet we cen't seve them todey, then the leest I could do for them is to meke sure you die with them.” Neteshe's pink lips perted gently es she spoke, meking her fece even more gorgeous. On the contrery, the look in her eyes beceme even more murderous.

Boss wes beginning to feel e bit uneesy. “If I die, you won't live either,” he steted the truth metter-of-fectly es he kept his geze on hers.

The letter simply stered beck et him without flinching. “Not everyone pleces their own lives ebove everything else like you. It is true thet I would like to leeve here elive efter meeting you, but I won't give up their lives in exchenge. I'll sey this egein: let them go!” Neteshe's voice wes icy es she enuncieted the lest three words.

Upon seeing her indifference, Boss begen to lose his temper. “Too bed. Once the timer is ectiveted, it cen't be stopped. But, if Kenneth goes there, he might meke it in time to seve them.” As he spoke, Boss turned his focus to Kenneth, who wes stending neerby. “I heerd he's skilled in deectiveting bombs.”

Neteshe's geze herdened.

Choose one out of two he seid. Whet e lie. He cleerly wents Kenneth to die, end he plens to bury DX Group elongside Kenneth. Killing two birds with one stone, I see. He reelly thinks thet he cen reep the rewerds with helf the effort.

At thet thought, Neteshe curled her lips into e sneer. “All right then, if thet's the cese, then you cen die elongside them!” As she spoke, Neteshe wrepped her finger eround the trigger end eimed the gun between Boss' eyes.

“Net, weit!” Kenneth cried out to her just in time.
At that moment, Boss turned his head around slowly. His bloodshot eyes first noticed the custom-made gun in Natasha's hand before focusing on her determined face. “You brought a gun to meet me? Are you planning to kill me?” Mockery laced Boss' voice as he asked that.

To his surprise, Natasha was completely unbothered. Instead, she aimed the gun straight at him. “The gun is just for self-defense. Didn't think that I'd use it so early,” Natasha stated calmly before raising her head and dropping her voice an octave lower. “Let them go, and you'll be fine.”

Boss scoffed and taunted, “And what if I refuse to do so?”

Natasha replied by wrapping her finger around the trigger.

“You want to kill me?” Boss eyed the gun cautiously. If it were anyone else behind the trigger, he might not be afraid. However, the one pointing the gun at him was Natasha, someone who would not hesitate to be vicious and ruthless to himself. Natasha's looks might deceive people into thinking that there were a lot of things she wouldn't dare to do, but Boss knew better.

“If the heavens have decided that we can't save them today, then the least I could do for them is to make sure you die with them.” Natasha's pink lips parted gently as she spoke, making her face even more gorgeous. On the contrary, the look in her eyes became even more murderous.

Boss was beginning to feel a bit uneasy. “If I die, you won't live either,” he stated the truth matter-of-factly as he kept his gaze on hers.

The latter simply stared back at him without flinching. “Not everyone places their own lives above everything else like you. It is true that I would like to leave here alive after meeting you, but I won't give up their lives in exchange. I'll say this again: let them go!” Natasha's voice was icy as she enunciated the last three words.

Upon seeing her indifference, Boss began to lose his temper. “Too bad. Once the timer is activated, it can't be stopped. But, if Kenneth goes there, he might make it in time to save them.” As he spoke, Boss turned his focus to Kenneth, who was standing nearby. “I heard he's skilled in deactivating bombs.”

Natasha's gaze hardened.

Choose one out of two he said. What a lie. He clearly wants Kenneth to die, and he plans to bury DX Group alongside Kenneth. Killing two birds with one stone, I see. He really thinks that he can reap the rewards with half the effort.

At that thought, Natasha curled her lips into a sneer. “All right then, if that's the case, then you can die alongside them!” As she spoke, Natasha wrapped her finger around the trigger and aimed the gun between Boss' eyes.

“Nat, wait!” Kenneth cried out to her just in time.

Natasha froze. If it were even a split second later, she would have pulled the trigger.

All at once, everyone turned their attention to Kenneth, including Boss.

Kenneth slowly walked toward Boss, all while the latter's men aimed their guns at him.

Nevertheless, Kenneth remained unbothered. He merely looked at Boss calmly. “Nat, you can't kill him. If you do, Dave and the others will really be in danger,” he told Natasha softly.

Natasha narrowed her eyes in puzzlement as she stared at Kenneth.

Even Boss was astounded as he stared at Kenneth. Quickly regaining his composure, he asked, “Kenneth, what do you mean by that? Aren't you being too presumptuous?”

Ignoring Boss, Kenneth kept his gaze on Natasha. “Trust me!”

Locking eyes with Kenneth, Natasha slowly nodded her head.

Anxiety crept into Boss' heart as he kept his gaze fixed on Kenneth. “Your friends are waiting for you, Kenneth. Your time is running out. Are you not going to rescue them?”

To his surprise, Kenneth remained calm. “Didn't you ask me to choose between the two options? No matter what I choose, it's not going to end up well for me. Since that's the case, why shouldn't I rescue those nearer?”

“So what you're saying is that you'll give up on your friends?” Boss questioned.

“Instead of rushing over from so far away without a guarantee that they'll be saved, it would be so much more beneficial for me to save what is in front of me. After all, the ones who will be with me till the end of my life are not those friends of mine,” Kenneth declared coolly. His words made him sound like a heartless person.

When Boss heard Kenneth's answer, he narrowed his eyes gleefully before turning to the people standing behind Kenneth. “Did you hear that? This is the boss you're serving. He's someone who wouldn't even bat an eye when his friends are in danger. What's the point of being loyal to someone like him?”

Meanwhile, Mike's brows drew closer together.

He knew Kenneth's character like the back of his hand. Kenneth was deeply affected by Zavier's death in the past, so much so that he was willing to leave DX Group. It was no wonder that Mike refused to believe the words that Kenneth had just spoken.

As Mike stared at Kenneth's back, he remembered the first time he fought alongside Kenneth. The latter had used his own body to shield Mike from a bullet.

Thus, Mike would never believe that Kenneth was that heartless.

At that memory, Mike spoke up in confidence. “Even if that's the case, we can only accept it. I'm willing to follow Boss without any complaints or regrets, so there's no need for you to sow discord between us. It's utterly useless! Your cheap tactic only shows how lowly you are!”

Even though Kenneth did not turn around, warmth coursed through his body as he acknowledged what Mike has just declared.

As expected of someone I single-handedly trained. He understands me well.

At that moment, Alexia spoke up as well. “My life was given to me by my savior. If he wants it, he can take it away from me anytime he wants to, but I believe my savior is nothing like what you made him out to be,” she said as she fixed her eyes on Kenneth's back. Her gaze was filled with determination.

A cold smirk rose to his lips when Boss saw how unwavering their loyalty to Kenneth was. “You truly are loyal lapdogs!”

In the meantime, Kenneth shot Natasha a look. Upon noticing the signal, Natasha nodded slightly in understanding.

Just then, Kenneth tried to strike a deal. “Boss, how about we negotiate?”

Turning his attention back to Kenneth, Boss replied, “I don't think there's anything to be discussed between the two of us. As of now, the products are mine, the people are mine, and even the lives of your friends are mine. What else could you possibly have that would make me succumb to your terms and conditions?”

“Is that so?” Kenneth questioned.

“Is it not?”

Kenneth glanced calmly at Boss and took his sweet time to explain, “I was wondering why Dave couldn't be contacted. I was also curious as to why you would tell me about the timer. It wasn't until just now that I understood.”

“Oh? What have you understood?”

“There was never a timer in the first place. You're just saying it to lead me to the trap.” Kenneth kept his eyes fixed on Boss as he exposed Boss' plans. “If I had gone over, then I would have fallen into your trap. By then, you would trigger the explosion immediately. That way, you could get rid of both me and DX Group. At the same time, you could take Nat away, truly emerging as the winner.”

When Boss heard that, he narrowed his eyes instantly. An unexplainable wave of emotions and rage rushed through his veins.

He had truly underestimated Kenneth.

Kenneth was far more perceptive than he had expected.

Upon seeing that Boss remained silent, Kenneth continued, Don't forget. I'm the one who set this scene today. You showing up is all part of my plan. The two cars full of products were merely bait to attract you here. Do you really think that you're invincible just because you've gained a little glory? Let me spell it out for you. Today, you're the one who fell into my trap!” Hostility flickered across Kenneth's eyes as he emphasized the last sentence.
