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 wespletely 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 Keh goes there, he might meke it in time to seve them.” As he spoke,
Boss turned his focus to Keh, 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 Keh to die, end he plens to bury DX
Group elongside Keh. 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!” Keh 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 nning to kill me?” Mockeryced Boss'' voice as he asked that.
To his surprise, Natasha waspletely 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.
Thetter simply stared back at him without flinching. “Not everyone ces 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
thest 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 Keh goes there, he might make it in time to save them.” As he spoke,
Boss turned his focus to Keh, 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 Keh to die, and he ns to bury DX
Group alongside Keh. 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!” Keh cried out to her just in time.
Natasha froze. If it were even a split secondter, she would have pulled the trigger.
All at once, everyone turned their attention to Keh, including Boss.
Keh slowly walked toward Boss, all while thetter''s men aimed their guns at him.
Nevertheless, Keh 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 Keh.
Even Boss was astounded as he stared at Keh. Quickly regaining hisposure, he asked,
“Keh, what do you mean by that? Aren''t you being too presumptuous?”
Ignoring Boss, Keh kept his gaze on Natasha. “Trust me!”
Locking eyes with Keh, Natasha slowly nodded her head.
Anxiety crept into Boss'' heart as he kept his gaze fixed on Keh. “Your friends are waiting for you,
Keh. Your time is running out. Are you not going to rescue them?”
To his surprise, Keh 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,” Keh dered coolly. His words made him sound
like a heartless person.
When Boss heard Keh''s answer, he narrowed his eyes gleefully before turning to the people
standing behind Keh. “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 Keh''s character like the back of his hand. Keh 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 Keh had just spoken.
As Mike stared at Keh''s back, he remembered the first time he fought alongside Keh. The
Thus, Mike would never believe that Keh was that heartless.
At that memory, Mike spoke up in confidence. “Even if that''s the case, we can only ept it. I''m willing
to follow Boss without anyints 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 Keh did not turn around, warmth coursed through his body as he acknowledged what
Mike has just dered.
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 Keh''s back. Her gaze was filled with determination.
A cold smirk rose to his lips when Boss saw how unwavering their loyalty to Keh was. “You truly
are loyalpdogs!”
In the meantime, Keh shot Natasha a look. Upon noticing the signal, Natasha nodded slightly in
understanding.
Just then, Keh tried to strike a deal. “Boss, how about we negotiate?”
Turning his attention back to Keh, 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 sumb to your terms
and conditions?”
“Is that so?” Keh questioned.
“Is it not?”
Keh nced calmly at Boss and took his sweet time to exin, “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 ce. You''re just saying it to lead me to the trap.” Keh kept his
eyes fixed on Boss as he exposed Boss'' ns. “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 unexinable wave of emotions and rage
rushed through his veins.
He had truly underestimated Keh.
Keh was far more perceptive than he had expected.
Upon seeing that Boss remained silent, Keh continued, Don''t forget. I''m the one who set this scene
today. You showing up is all part of my n. 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 Keh''s
eyes as he emphasized thest sentence.
