Chapter 619
At that moment, Keh looked at him. “Who told you that?”
“I...”
“It was me.” Just as Mike was trying toe up with an excuse, Dave came in. Thetter strode
straight to Keh and looked at him. “I was the one who said it, so if you want to me someone,
me me.”
Mike immediately stood up when he heard that. “No, that''s not true. I overheard Dave on the phone.”
“Mike.” Dave patted him on the shoulder, motioning him to sit down. “There''s no need to speak up for
me. Anyway, I don''t n to hide it from him.”
Mike knitted his brows. “Dave...”
Aside from being well aware of Keh''s temper, he also feared that the matter would drive a wedge
between the two of them.
“Don''t worry. This isn''t the first argument we''ve had,” said Dave reassuringly, indicating that he needn''t
worry.
Mike''s gaze shifted to Keh, and only after seeing that thetter did not speak did he fall silent.
Meanwhile, Dave also turned to look at Keh. “Even if you didn''te, I''ll still tell them about this
matter. Keh, the power of Vermillion Base can''t be underestimated. Although you can win through
tactics using personal strength alone, you can''t be so lucky every time. Not to mention, Boss will only
be more and more vignt, and it''ll only be more difficult and dangerous in the future.”
Keh stared at him. How can I not know this fact? It''s just that...
Just then, Dave pressed his hands on the table and fixed his gaze on Keh as he said, “It''s time to
leave the past behind, Keh. Zavier''s death back then was because of a problem in decision-
making. All three of us agreed to it: you, me, and Zavier. So even if something happened, it wasn''t your
responsibility alone. Besides, I believe that even if Zavier knew about it, he wouldn''t me you.
Everyone here is the same. We all chose this path, so we won''tin even if we have to sacrifice
ourselves. Ask them if you don''t believe me.”
Everyone around Keh nodded solemnly when thetter swept his gaze over them.
Knowing that Keh was still hesitant, Dave kept his gaze locked on the former and continued, “Also,
even if you don''t think about yourself, don''t you think you should think about Natasha? Do you still want
to avenge her? Or do you n to let her walk into the jaws of danger again?”
Keh''s gaze darkened a little when the other man brought up Natasha.
Not only did Dave know precisely how to persuade Keh, but he also knew very well that Natasha
was currently the other man''s biggest weakness.
Silence hung in the air for some time before Keh took a deep breath and lifted his gaze to Dave.
“You know me best, Dave, so you know how to persuade me. But at the same time, you also know that
what I decide will not change.”
Dave knitted his brows.
“Boss...”
“Boss!”
The people around were looking at them at that moment.
Keh looked at them and let out a sigh. “I''ll figure out a solution for the matter between me and
Vermillion Base. None of you are allowed to interfere. If I find out that any of you did, don''t me me
for not holding back. All right. I came over just to say hello to you all. If there isn''t anything else, I''ll be
going then.”
With that, he got up and prepared to leave.
“Boss, this is for you!” Just as Keh got up to leave, Mike suddenly stood up with a box in his hand.
The former''s gaze changed as soon as he saw the box.
“Zavier gave this to me before setting off when you all were on the mission together back then. He
instructed me to hand it to you personally, but the following events happened so suddenly that I forgot
to do so. I just recently discovered it as I was packing my things,” Mike exined.
Keh raised his slightly trembling hands to receive the box.
At that moment, all eyes were on him, even Dave, who was well aware of the contents of the box and
even more so its significance.
However, just as Keh was about to touch the box, his hands clenched into fists.
“Boss.”
Keh lifted his gaze to look at Mike. “Since so many years have passed, you shall continue keeping
this!” After saying that, he retracted his hands, turned around, and headed outside.
“Boss!”
Dave furrowed his brows as he looked on.
Keh still can''t move on from what had happened.
“Dave.” Just then, Mike looked at Dave with a troubled expression.
“I''ll give it to him,” Dave said before taking the box from Mike and following after the other man.
Alexia had been waiting outside the entire time, and when she saw Keh walking out, she
immediately approached him.
“My savior...”
However, Keh walked straight past her as if he did not see or hear anything.
Alexia stood there and frowned as she watched Keh pass her while sporting a grim expression.
Just as she was thinking about something, Dave also came walking out.
“Dave,” Alexia called out as she looked at him.
Dave met her gaze. “What''s wrong, Alexia?”
“What''s the matter with him?” she asked.
Dave cast a discreet look at Keh''s figure. “It''s nothing. It''s just a private matter.”
“But he looks very unhappy,” Alexia remarked worriedly.
Aplicated look crossed Dave''s eyes. “Alexia, I still have something to do. I''ll talk to youter.” After
saying that, he hurried behind Keh.
Alexia stood where she was, staring at Keh''s retreating figure with a frown. The next moment, she
turned around and headed inside, staring at the dejected people. “What happened just now?”
In the car, Keh sat on one side without saying anything.
N?velDrama.Org is the owner.
Dave broke the silence. “Keh, I''m your buddy, not your driver. Are you nning to remain silent the
entire way back?”
Keh snapped out of his reverie. “This is much better than you expected, right?”
Dave nced at the other man. Indeed. I thought about it when I was heading there. This is Keh''s
sore spot and also his forbidden territory. Either I''ll seed today, or he''ll throw a fit. But I never
expected him to be as quiet as he is now.
He pursed his lips before replying, “Indeed. You''ve changed a lot.”
Keh forced a small smile but did not say anything further.
Everyone would change depending on what they had gone through, and certain situations would
indeed cause people to mature quickly.
It was apparent that it was thetter for Keh.
Back then, when he left DX Group and returned to take over thepany, he was also not used to it.
Despite that, he was still able to develop the business into the worldwide conglomerate it was now
through his own means and intelligence. Others might merely praise him for being outstanding, but only
he knew the challenges and difficulties thaty in between.
His gaze became gloomier as he looked out of the window.
Along the way, neither of them spoke much.
After the car came to a stop, Keh got out and was about to walk away when Dave called out,
“Keh.”
He turned, and Dave tossed the box at him.
Keh immediately reached out and caught it.
He wanted to say something, but Dave beat him to it. “This belongs to you. Don''t continue to put
pressure on Mike. If you truly don''t want it, just throw it away.” After saying that, he mmed the door
shut after getting back into the car and drove off.
Keh stood rooted to the spot, staring grimly at the box in his hands.
