Chapter 499
At that moment, Natasha was no longer the type of person who would lose her temper and
rationality upon receiving a piece of news like that.

She didn''t miss the look of hatred that shed past Boss'' eyes. In fact, it seemed as though he
hated Will more than her.
Staring at him, she smiled indifferently. “Is that so?”
Despite the coldness in her smile, her voice was pleasant, especially when she uttered thest
word.
“You don''t believe me?” he asked.
“Do you think your words still hold any value to me?” Natasha spat, her face clearly portraying her
unwillingness to believe him.
After taking a deep breath, Boss spoke with a hoarse voice. “I admit, I wanted to use you, but I''ve
never wanted to hurt you.”
“Never?” Mockery was seen in her eyes.
Pursing his lips, he corrected, “After I met you.”
Natasha sneered, “Yet you tried to use me as a meat shield to block bullets previously.”
As Boss stared at her, he uttered one word at a time, “That''s because those bullets wouldn''t hit
you.”
Her gaze remained fixed on him as she pursed her lips.
He studied her. “If my guess is correct, that ident was perpetrated by someone.”
It wasn''t necessary for him to spell out who for Natasha to know who he was talking about.
She was still pursing her lips as she stared at him silently and alertly.
That suspicion had crossed her mind at the time, but she didn''t expect him to think so, too. I never
expected him to connect the dots. Even though he already has suspicions, he still never expressed
them. He''s definitely very shrewd.
The edges of Boss'' mouth suddenly curved upward as he stared at the silent Natasha and tried to
act casually. “Don''t worry; I don''t mean anything else by that. I just want to tell you I''m not going to
deny the fact that I used you, but I''ve never had any intentions of hurting you.”
“Why?” she blurted.
Why? That made him ponder for a moment before he answered, “I''m not sure why. Maybe because
you''re different from any other woman I''ve met before?”
“Is it really because I''m different from other women, or is it just because you can use me to help you
deal with General Will?” Her eyes flickered as she suddenly asked.
Boss stared at her, stunned.
Natasha met his gaze unwaveringly. With a faint smile, she said in a certain tone, “You seem to hate
him more than me.”
It was his turn to stay silent.
Momentster, he confessed under her stare, “Yes, I do hate him. So much so that I wish I could kill
him.”
She remained silent as she stared at him slyly.
It was her turn to listen to a story.
Hatred shed past Boss'' eyes before he recounted slowly, “I had a sister a few years younger than
me. When she was ten, I went on a mission. However, when I returned, I heard General Will had
brought her out, and she was caught by the enemy. She was then killed by them.”
As a mother, Natasha felt sorry for him when she heard that.
If it were her children who suffered that fate, she would''ve lost her mind.
To her surprise, Boss smiled nonchntly. “Guess what happened next? One time, I identally
overheard a conversation between someone and a person who went on that same mission with
General Will. It turns out that General Will intentionally left my sister there before running away. He
used a child to ensure he could escape sessfully.”
Even though he was smiling, the hatred in his eyes was bone-chilling.
“At first, I thought that just wasn''t true. However, after I kidnapped everyone who went out on the
same mission as General Will and interrogated them, they all gave me the same answer. So, do
you understand why I hate him now?” he asked before uttering one word at a time. “Not only do I
hate him, but I''ll also definitely kill him!”
Staring at him, Natasha could sympathize with the hatred he felt. However, the only difference was
that she didn''t know whether it was true.
After all, he hadn''t been entirely truthful in front of her before, all to achieve his own goals.
Seeing how she was staying silent, Boss said, “Haven''t you always wanted to know what my goal
is? Well, this is it. I will drag him down from the throne he sits on right now and let him have a taste
of despair. Then I will kill him and cut up his body, one piece at a time, and use him to pay homage
to my sister! So, technically, both of us are on the same side. We both have the same goal.”
Natasha looked away. “How do I know what you''re saying is true or not?”
“It doesn''t matter if my story is true. All that matters is that yours is!” With that said, he pulled out his
phone, tapped on the screen a few times, and stared at her.
A recording began to y. A conversation between him and Will was heard.
“She won''t let this matter go if she learns you''re the one who proposed to kill her parents, General
Will.”
“So what? Do you think I''m afraid of a woman?”
“But...”
“When we get the money, we''ll kill her too, Boss. This loose end shouldn''t have lived for this long,”
Will ordered coldly.
It was then the recording ended.
Boss stared at her. “You''ve seen General Will. This is what I recorded after you left that day. The
proof you want has been lost to time, but maybe this will suffice?”
Natasha''s eyes had turned red as she stared at his phone.
Her fists were already tightened.
She had thought she couldpose herself when she heard the truth, but at that moment, she
realized she had overestimated herself.
All that was left in her heart was the regret of not killing Will when she had had the chance.
With her fists still tightly clenched, she left the bed, preparing to leave.
Boss blocked her path. “Where are you going?”
Natasha remained silent, so he continued to block her way.
In response, she roared, “Step aside!”
“You want to seek revenge?”
“Shouldn''t I?” At that moment, regret was consuming her whole. I should''ve stabbed him in the
heart when I had the chance!
“Do you think you can go into Vermillion Base right now? You''ll be torn to shreds before you can
even step through that door!”
“I''ll go regardless!” Natasha said as she pushed him away.
Still, Boss blocked her path like an immovable wall. “General Will''s definitely going to be very pissed
right now after what you did there. If you walk into the base right now, you''re dead!”
“You might be afraid, but I''m not! Let me go!”
However, he grabbed her tightly. “I''m not going to stand by and watch you die!”
“Let go!” Natasha struggled to escape and began fighting against him.
Suddenly, he pulled out a needle and stabbed it in the back of her neck. That instantly caused her
body to straighten.
