You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth)
Chapter 568

"Do you wish it was him?" Dave asked.

"Stop beating around the bush," Kenneth exclaimed, seemingly running out of patience.

"It wasn't him," Dave revealed.

"It wasn't him?" Kenneth stared at Dave, slightly stunned. But for some reason, he also felt a slight relief.

"It was one of our old enemies. Not sure how they were able to replace us here, though." To prove his words, Dave handed the surveillance footage to Kenneth.

Kenneth finally heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the person in the footage.

Thank goodness, it's not because of me.

Nonetheless, his brows were still furrowed tightly.

"Are you relieved now?" Dave fixed his gaze on Kenneth and asked.

"Relieved? No, we'll make them pay for what they did!" Kenneth glowered as a malicious glint appeared in his gaze.

"You're still as vindictive as before," Dave blurted, staring at Kenneth.

"I'm sure you know where their bases are," Kenneth said with a low voice.

"Of course I do."

"Then stop wasting time. Let's go!" With that, Kenneth turned and darted toward his car.

Dave could tell that Kenneth was in a bad mood that day.

"Then, I'll leave this place to you." Dave turned to Mike.

"D-Dave..." Before Mike could say anything, Dave had turned and left.

Looking at their retreating figures, Mike furrowed his brows.

He wanted to go with them, too.

In the car, Dave held the steering wheel with one hand and teased, "You seem as though your desires were not fulfilled."

Shooting a glance at Dave, Kenneth grumbled, "If you know, then be quiet."

Dave raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked, "That had nothing to do with me, right?"

"You're overthinking things," Kenneth muttered under his breath. He felt defeated every time he thought of how Natasha just fell asleep.

Dave's lips curled into a smile, and he resisted asking anything else. After pondering for a moment, he voiced, "Kenneth, let the past be the past."

Kenneth's eyes narrowed at Dave's words. He turned to look out of the window.

"To be honest, when we were on our way here, I knew it couldn't have been Vermillion Base. He wouldn't have fought back so soon. But I was also worried that if it were indeed his doing, it would cross your bottom line again," Dave added.

Kenneth remained silent and continued staring out the window as though he had not heard anything. However, his clenched jaw sold him out.

"What happened to Zavier was not your fault. No one blames you for what happened, and you don't have to put all the blame on yourself. If Zavier was still alive, I'm sure he wouldn't have blamed you too." "Dave!" Kenneth turned his head and cut Dave off. After deliberating for a long while, he murmured, "I don't want to talk about this anymore."

It was obvious that he still hadn't gotten over what had happened.

Without a word, Dave nodded in response.

Kenneth shifted his gaze back to the window as the car sped down the road, and memories from the past flooded his mind.

Zavier was also one of the founders of DX Group, along with Kenneth and Dave.

Kenneth's eyes reddened as scenes from the past flashed across his mind.

Meanwhile, at Vermillion Base, Boss stared at the message carved on the naked man's body as he clenched his fist tightly.

The naked man's face was terribly pale from fright. He could tell the message on his body was an insulting one just by looking at Boss' expression.

"Boss... I-I didn't know the message was insulting. It's their fault! T-They made me do this..."

"You knew it was insulting. Yet, you still showed it to me." Boss frowned with his fist clenched.

"I-I..."

"Men!" Boss roared, "Take him out-"

Before he could finish his sentence, someone at the side cut him off, "Take him out to get some treatment!"

Boss lifted his gaze to look at the person beside him. "Gavin!" he growled.

Unfazed, Gavin stared at his men and ordered, "Quick! What are you guys waiting for?"

A few men quickly went up and took the naked man with them.

"Thank you, Boss! Thank you so much!" the naked man exclaimed.

After they went out, Boss shot Gavin a look and ranted, "I have to ask for your permission before making decisions now?"

Gavin walked over to him and bowed as though he was begging for forgiveness. "I'm doing this all for you, Boss," he claimed.

Boss stared at him in silence.

"Since you told me to assist you, then I'll not let you behave like General Will. You're just the Acting General now, and you haven't won their hearts yet. If you murdered him just because of the message on his body, then no one will be willing to risk their lives to work for you in the future," Gavin continued.

"So I'm just going to let him walk around with that insulting message on his body?" Boss retorted.

"We can remove the message on his body or even murder him. But we shouldn't do it so openly," Gavin suggested.

Realization finally dawned on Boss when he heard Gavin's words. He had to admit that Gavin was right.

Just now, he had lost his senses due to his anger. But now, he was able to think straight again after finally calming down.

He then closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm himself. "All right. We'll do as you say."

Gavin nodded and promised, "Don't worry. I won't disappoint you."

Right then, Boss looked at him and asked, "Right, how did things go last time?"

"Mission failed," Gavin replied without any sign of fear on his face.

Boss narrowed his eyes when he heard Gavin's answer. "Do you think she was the one who did this?"

"According to one of our men who had a battle with them, there were two of them. While one was no match for them, another was on par with them."

"On par with our men, but we still lost?"

"That's the problem. Our guy said it was as though they had completely changed into a different person during the most crucial moment. But he was sure it was the same person hacking, and they might have had an expert guiding them. If that wasn't the case, it's hard to say who would win."

Boss' eyes narrowed instantly over what Gavin said. "It seems like they have a lot of experts," he commented.

"But we can't prove it was her doing," Gavin added.

"We can," Boss asserted.

Gavin stared at him in puzzlement.

"The message on the billboards in the city. Isn't that the most obvious proof?" Boss stated.

Upon hearing that, Gavin was momentarily stunned. "Y-You mean she was the one who did that?" he questioned.

"No one would curse at me with those words except her." With that, the corner of Boss' lips quirked up.

Gavin pondered for a moment before stating, "If it was indeed her, then her capability cannot be underestimated." "With her capability, she has every right to be proud of herself," Boss enunciated.

"So what should we do next? Do we have other plans?"

"The plan has always been ongoing. It has never stopped," Boss stated faintly with a confident smile.

He knew that sooner or later, she would return to his side one day.
