Chapter 500


    The following morning, Boss was on the phone.


    “Boss, you must bring that woman back afterpleting your task today. I must kill her with my own


    hands.”


    After remaining silent for a while, Boss responded, “Noted.”


    “Boss, don''t think I can''t read your mind. Let me remind you that failing at your job means a total


    betrayal. So, don''t disappoint me.” With that, the line was cut off.


    Boss tightened his grip on his phone as his indifferent gaze earlier morphed into one of fury.


    Right then, he noticed the person before him shooting him a meaningful look.


    Subsequently, he turned and saw Natasha standing not too far behind him. She had changed her


    clothes. Herplexion still looked good despite not wearing any makeup. Besides appearing a bit


    sickly, the injuries on her face did not affect her beauty at all.

    Boss lowered his gaze when he saw her. “You''re awake?”


    Natasha strode forward and stared right at him.


    “Did you hear everything?”


    “Isn''t that obvious?” Natasha questioned him.


    Boss did not exin himself. Instead, his gaze fell on the food on the table. “Do you want to eat


    something?”


    Natasha shot him a look before sitting down at the table and beginning to eat.


    Boss followed suit.


    In the past, Natasha was always aloof and arrogant. She would split the bill whenever they ate


    together, never wanting to take advantage of him. Yet, she had not hesitated to ept his


    hospitality today.


    However, Boss liked the change in her, thinking that she was now more pleasing to the eye.


    An inexplicablyplex range of emotions glinted in Boss'' eyes as he stared at her.


    “What''s going to happen after eating? Are you nning to use me as an exchange?” Natasha


    queried.


    Boss nodded. “Yup.”


    Natasha kept her head down while eating. “Any other ns?”


    “No,” answered Boss.


    “If you don''t bring me back, General Will won''t let you get away.”


    “If I bring you back, he won''t let you off,” Boss stated.


    Lifting her head, she nced at him. “Hence, you''re letting me go?”


    “What do you think?” Boss asked her in return.


    Natasha continued eating and did not reply.


    After all, she knew that he would go back on his word.


    Since he refused to divulge anything further, there was no point for her to keep asking.


    With that, she could only go with the flow.


    At the very least, Natasha had found out who the murderer was.


    Meanwhile, Anthony and Benjamin woke up exceptionally early back at the hotel.


    It was because they remembered the asion.


    After getting up, they went straight to the room and noticed that everything was ready.


    Keh was putting something on while talking with Dave.


    “I''ve already made the necessary arrangements. Everyone is downstairs, and you can give them


    orders anytime,” reported Dave.


    Keh nodded.


    Just then, Anthony and Benjamin went up to him. “Daddy.”


    Keh turned and fixed his gaze on them. “You guys are up early!”


    Anthony wanted to say something when he noticed the bandage on Keh''s hand. Frowning, he


    asked, “Daddy, what happened to your hand?”


    Keh responded indifferently, “Nothing. I had a small cut yesterday.”


    Before Anthony could pursue the matter, Keh added, “Stay here with Dave. Remember, don''t


    roam around.”


    Anthony furrowed his brows. “Can''t we go with you, Daddy? We promise to be good and won''t take


    things into our own hands.”


    Keh looked them in the eyes and shook his head.


    “Daddy!” Benjamin chimed in.


    “I know what you both are thinking, but I can only do this in peace if the two of you are safe and


    sound,” Keh exined.


    The boys could not refute him.


    They mulled over it for a while and nodded.


    He looked at his sons and reminded them. “Remember to always follow Mr. Dave closely no matter


    what and take good care of yourselves.”


    “Okay!” Anthony and Benjamin said in unison.


    “Don''t worry. I''ll risk my life to protect them and won''t let anything untoward happen to them,” Dave


    reassured him.


    Keh stared at him and nodded his head solemnly.


    At that moment, they did not need a further exchange of words to understand how each other felt


    when faced with a life-and-death matter. That was how in sync they were.


    Then, Keh checked his watch and said, “It''s time. I have to go.”


    With a nod, Dave said, “Be careful.”


    “I''m leaving them in your capable hands.” Keh smiled.


    Dave gave him another nod.


    Without saying anything further, Keh turned and was ready to depart.


    Seeing so, Anthony and Benjamin darted forward and called out, “Daddy!”


    Keh turned back and was met with two anxious gazes.


    “Come back in one piece, Daddy.”


    “We''ll wait for you here, Daddy.”


    The corners of Keh''s lips curled upward to form a smile. Then, he headed out without saying


    one more word.


    Both Anthony and Benjamin watched him leave with heavy hearts.


    Dave consoled them when he noticed how worried the boys looked. “Rest assured that your daddy


    will be just fine. Anyone can get hurt but not him.”


    “Why?” Anthony waspletely baffled.


    “Because he''s fated to live a long life.”


    Anthony was rendered speechless.


    “You don''t believe me?” Dave asked. “When DX was in its initial developmental phase, we didn''t


    have so many members. One time, your daddy went on a mission alone, and his opponent aimed a


    gun at his heart. What do you think happened next?”


    Hearing the story for the first time, the boys got all worked up.


    “What happened?”


    “There was a metal object on his shirt at that time for decoration. It was something like a coin. In the


    end, the bullet hit the small piece of metal, which saved his life. He ended up getting only a light


    abrasion,” Dave shared.


    Astounded, the boys widened their eyes.


    If the angle of the gunshot were slightly off, it would have resulted in a disastrous oue.


    “It''s hard to believe, isn''t it?” Dave asked.


    The two children nodded.


    “You wouldn''t have existed if the gunshot was urate. Anyhow, this is only one of the many


    unbelievable things that your daddy has encountered. That''s why I said there''s no need for you to


    worry. He''s fated to lead a long life. Neither the heavens nor hell can take his life yet!” Dave said


    confidently.


    Regardless of whether it was a true story or not, his words had sessfullyforted the two little


    ones.


    They nodded vigorously and heaved a sigh of relief.


    “We got it, Mr. Dave.”


    Dave looked at them and smiled.


    Right then, Miguel spoke. “Dave, everything is ready.”


    Dave approached him and checked. “Keep a close watch on Keh at all times.”


    Nodding, Miguel asked, “By the way, I thought Keh mentioned that Anonymous would lend a


    hand? Why don''t I see him online?”


    Dave took a look and knitted his brows together. “Let''s wait for a while. Since he has made a


    promise, I''m sure he will deliver. Perhaps something urgent came up...”


    Miguel listened and agreed with a nod.


    An indescribable excitement washed over him when he thought about performing a mission


    alongside Anonymous.


    Upon hearing their conversation, Anthony and Benjamin exchanged nces. Then, Anthony left the


    room discreetly.
