After hanging up the phone, Boss stared at Kenneth with resentment.
“Boss, it's time to end this!” Kenneth stood up, facing Boss, just as he had faced Gavin before, aiming his gun at his enemy's heart.
Just as Kenneth was about to pull the trigger, Boss suddenly burst into laughter.
“J, do you really believe she can safely retrieve the antidote once she's there?” Boss suddenly asked.
Kenneth paused just as he was about to pull the trigger.
“I always know to keep something up my sleeve as contingencies, you know,” said Boss.
“Is this your final trump card?” Kenneth asked.
“That's right.” Boss nodded.
“What if I don't agree?”
“It's simple,” Boss said. “No matter how many of you go, I guarantee it'll be a one-way trip.”
Upon hearing that, Kenneth narrowed his eyes slightly.
Regardless of whether Boss was telling the truth, Kenneth would indeed not stand by and watch his comrades march toward death.
With that thought, he immediately pulled out his phone and dialed Thalia's number.
However, at that moment, the call couldn't be connected.
Upon hearing the sound, Kenneth frowned.
After much hesitation, Kenneth directly called Spencer.
“Where are you?” Kenneth asked directly.
“Vermillion Base!” said Spencer.
Kenneth knew Spencer was bound to head there. “Tell Thalia to stop seizing the antidote. We'll discuss everything once I'm there!”
“Why?”
“There's no time to explain, but it's dangerous. You must stop her before she gets the antidote.”
“I understand.” Without waiting for Kenneth to say anything more, Spencer directly hung up.
As the dial tone echoed from the phone, Boss looked at Kenneth. A scornful, mocking look lurked in his eyes.
“I know you don't want to die. I can give you that chance, but it's up to you to seize it,” said Kenneth.
Boss looked at him.
“Luke, tie him up and take him away.”
“Roger.” Luke directly signaled two people to restrain Boss. “What about the others?”
“Keeping them around will only be a nuisance.”
“Understood,” responded Luke.
In the next second, Luke shot a look at a few people behind him. Following that, the sound of gunshots could be heard. The remaining three or four people fell directly to the ground.
Upon seeing that, Boss widened his eyes instantly.
“J!” He suddenly erupted in fury, ready to charge toward Kenneth as if ready for a fight to the death.
However, after a few futile struggles, he was swiftly restrained by someone.
Kenneth didn't care about what would Boss do and walked off to one side before calling Dave. “Boss has already been captured, but there might be some issues at Vermillion Base. I need to make a trip there. “You've pretty much got everything under control here. I'll be on my way soon.”
“Okay!” said Dave.
Kenneth turned around, looking at Luke. “Let's go.”
Luke nodded.
On the road, Kenneth sat in the passenger seat while Luke was driving. In the back, someone was holding Boss at gunpoint.
As soon as Kenneth got in the car, his phone rang again.
Seeing the incoming call, Kenneth answered it.
“Daddy, how's it going?” Anthony asked.
