Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth)
Chapter 710

Chapter 710

The night was exceptionally dark.

Sitting in the front passenger seat, Kenneth gave Natasha a call but couldn't get through.

His expression grew increasingly tense as he tried again and again.

He knew Natasha like the back of his palm. Once she had set her mind on something, changing it would be hard and locating her would be even harder.

What was unacceptable to him was that she had left without saying goodbye again.

Moreover, the way she did it this time was more ludicrous than the last.

Dave, with one hand on the steering wheel as he drove, noticed Kenneth's gloominess. "I called her the moment the incident occurred but couldn't get through. Also, the surveillance feed confirmed that she left on foot. I've already sent men to search for her. Hopefully, we'll hear from them soon."

Kenneth looked out the window. "Since she has taken such a drastic course of action, she must have been planning it for a while. Finding her is not going to be easy."

"I'm sorry. I didn't expect her to do this. Going forward, I'll arrange for the entrances to be guarded, so history won't repeat itself."

Upon hearing the words, the solemn-looking Spencer commented softly, "Considering their capabilities and meticulous planning, it's unlikely you can stop them."

"Don't underestimate the men in DX. Even if they failed, they could obtain information in the shortest time, preventing the situation from spiraling out of control."

Spencer looked in Dave's direction. "No offense intended. I was just wondering if there was a more efficient use of your resources."

Dave replied, "No offense taken. We're all just being objective here."

Just as Spencer was about to continue, Kenneth interjected, "Spencer is right. There's no way we can stop those who are determined to leave."

Dave shifted his attention to Kenneth.

The latter was lying back in his seat with his hand holding his chin. Looking out the window with his black obsidian eyes, Kenneth was a sea of calm. Nonetheless, everyone could clearly feel the rage he was exuding.

Dave was cognizant of how headstrong Kenneth was. The more the latter appeared to be calm, the more turbulent his emotions were.

Dave's eyes narrowed. "Let's focus on what we're going to do tonight instead of the future. Should we stop our current operation?"

Kenneth looked just like a leopard, ready to pounce in the night.

A brief moment later, he replied, "No, we should continue."

Dave didn't comment as he kept his hand on the wheel.

It was Spencer who asked, "Shouldn't we look for Nat first?"

Kenneth took a deep breath as if he had made a momentous decision. "In essence, her goal is the same as ours. Since she has decided to go on the search, it means that she is more confident than us. Besides, now that she has made her move, we shouldn't put her in danger unnecessarily. Two parties working toward the objective would naturally have a higher chance of success than one."

Spencer narrowed his eyes at Kenneth, as he didn't replace the latter's words to be convincing.

He had panicked when he first learned of Thalia's disappearance. Now that Natasha had walked into the lion's den, Spencer was surprised at how Kenneth could still analyze the situation with such a cool head.

As a fellow man, he wondered if Kenneth was just too Machiavellian or if he didn't care for Natasha as much as everyone thought he did.

"What do we do now?" Dave asked.

After a brief contemplation, Kenneth answered, "We'll split up. Both of you head to his hideout to get the antidote, while I look for Mike and corner Boss. If there are any changes to the plan, we can still afford a slight delay. Worse comes to worst, I'll just bring him back to DX." Kenneth laid out his plan word by word. The burning rage in his eyes could send a chill down anyone's spine.

In that instant, Dave and Spencer turned to Kenneth and gave him a bewildered look.

Only he can come up with such an outrageous idea.

Despite their disbelief, they didn't replace it surprising that it came from Kenneth.

Dave nodded. "Sounds like a plan."

"In that case, you should head there with Spencer now."

Once Dave brought the car to a stop, Kenneth alighted from it. At the same time, Dave put away his phone and informed the latter, "Someone will pick you up shortly."

Kenneth nodded in acknowledgment.

Just as he was about to drive away, Dave turned to Kenneth. "There's one more thing. After giving it a lot of thought, I feel I should tell you."

Kenneth gave him a solemn look.

Dave hesitated before continuing, "Two days ago, Natasha requested me to have a gun custom-made for her."

Kenneth's eyes narrowed. "And then?"

"She said it was for self-defense, so I got it for her without thinking too much about it."

Kenneth stared at him, not knowing what to say suddenly.

"I planned to tell you, but I didn't expect everything to happen so quickly. I know you're angry, so go ahead and vent on me. This is, after all, a dereliction of my duty," Dave said.

Kenneth was clearly furious, but he knew his priorities and that now wasn't the time for confrontation.

"When was it?" he asked, clearly suppressing his anger.

"I gave it to her just this morning. It doesn't have much firepower and can fire three bullets after its modifications," Dave said.

Kenneth took a deep breath. "Dave, once all this is over, I'll definitely hold you accountable."

"All right. We'll discuss it then."

"Go now and be careful."

"You too."

Without waiting for Kenneth to react, Dave drove away and stayed silent throughout.

Spencer pondered briefly before asking, "Is he always like that?"

"What do you mean?"

"Is he always this calm regardless of the circumstances?"

Dave answered softly, "Yes. He might lose his rational mind momentarily but would always stay objective. In fact, he's so level-headed that it scares me."

"Don't you think it's terrifying to have a friend like that?" Spencer asked curiously.

Dave threw him a glance. "It would be more terrifying to have him as my enemy."

Spencer responded with a chuckle.

"That's why we have to show some results," Dave added. "The last thing I want is to become his enemy."

Spencer let out another chuckle, but it was filled with mixed emotions. He raised his gaze to look out the window.

That fateful night was filled with uncertainty.

Meanwhile, Kenneth was standing by the roadside dressed in black. His handsome features exuded a cold and intimidating aura. He looked like an angel out for vengeance.
