Chapter 528


    The scene was wholly witnessed by someone on the upper floor.


    Keh was making a call by the window when he saw Miguel kneeling in front of Anthony.


    He furrowed his brows as he watched on. What exactly is the matter that could make a young man


    kneel to a child?


    As the distance was a bit far, Keh could only see that Anthony seemed to be denying whatever


    Miguel was saying to him. Moreover, Miguel''s back was facing Keh, so thetter couldn''t make


    out what he was saying.


    Just then, Natasha walked over and saw Keh engrossed in something. She looked at him and


    asked, “What are you looking at?”


    By the time Natasha followed Keh''s gaze and looked down, Anthony and Miguel had just


    walked away.


    Keh snapped out of his daze and looked at Natasha, revealing an innocent smile. “Nothing.”


    Natasha nodded lightly.

    “By the way, Nat, did anything happen while I was unconscious for the past couple of days?”


    Keh asked.


    Natasha thought hard about Keh''s question before looking up at him. “Yes.”


    “What happened?” he asked.


    She hesitated for a moment before answering, “Something happened to General Will of Vermillion


    Base. He should be dead by now.”


    The man frowned when he heard that. “Dead?” He pondered for a bit and a thought came to his


    mind. “Was it Boss?”


    Keh had a sharp mind; he was able to link things up fairly quickly based on a small clue.


    Natasha nodded, acknowledging Keh''s conjecture.


    Keh smirked. “Well, only he is capable of pulling something like that.”


    “He may be a crazy person, but I guess he sort of took revenge on my behalf...” Natasha


    murmured.


    Keh kept his gaze trained on her. “Took revenge on your behalf?”


    As that topic was brought up, she looked up at him, her wless face shining brilliantly. With a smile,


    she said, “I''ve figured out what happened to my father during my trip to Vermillion Base.”


    He looked at her skeptically. “Is that so?”


    With a nod of her head, Natasha exined in detail, “It was true that my father was one of the


    earliest batches of hackers in Vermillion Base. However,ter on, he thought of leaving the


    organization as he did not agree with their inhumane and ruthless ways of doing things. After he


    left, the general in charge back then issued the order to kill him.”


    “The general in charge back then?” Keh rubbed his chin and did a mental calction. “Based


    on the timeline, that general should be very old now. General Will''s age doesn''t match your story.”


    “That''s right. Although it was the general back then who gave the order, Will was the one who


    suggested killing my father. The general listened to Will as he was his most trusted aide!” Natasha


    revealed.


    Keh took a while to digest the information. “Was Will the one who told you all this?”


    “Not all of it,” Natasha responded. Now that the matter was settled, she did not want to hide


    anything from Keh anymore. “It was Boss who told me. He had a voice recording of him and


    General Will.”


    Keh did not suspect the authenticity of the recording because he believed Natasha was smart


    enough not to be duped easily.


    Scenes of his childhood shed across his mind at that moment. If he remembered correctly, the


    child he met back then must be Boss. Boss'' appearance at that ce could not be a mere


    coincidence.


    With that thought in mind, Keh sounded Natasha out. “Has it ever crossed your mind that the


    murderer might be someone else?”


    “Those people back then are all dead, except for Will. I thought I will kill him myself but I did not


    expect him to die in Boss'' hands,” said Natasha.


    She paused momentarily and continued, “I guess that''s fine as well. He might not have died in my


    hands, but ultimately, he''s dead. With that, I can let go of this rock in my heart. I finally can lead a


    normal life and no longer be tormented by nightmares.”


    Keh initially wanted to discuss more about this matter with Natasha, but after hearing what she


    said, he dropped the idea.


    Now that Natasha could finally find peace with herself after such a long time, it would only worsen


    her pain if he were to dig further into this matter.


    Moreover, it would be best for her to forget her painful past and live happily.


    With that, Keh turned to look at Natasha with a tender smile. “You''re right. The person is gone


    and so is your pain. From now on, you no longer need to torture yourself with this matter anymore.


    Just live a carefree, peaceful life. When we return, I will settle thepany matters and fulfill my


    promise to you—be by your side, protect you, and travel with you around the world.”


    Natasha smiled as Keh''s words warmed her heart. “I''d like to pay my respect to my parents


    when we return this time.”


    “I''ll apany you,” said Keh.


    Natasha gazed at Keh and nodded in response.


    At that moment, Keh reached out his hand. Natasha nced at it and ced her hand in his


    palm.


    The man gently tugged at her hand and pulled her toward him, leaving only a few centimeters of


    space between them.


    “Nat, does that mean you''ve agreed?”


    “Agreed? To what?”


    “Agreed to reconcile with me.”


    “Reconcile? What do you mean?” Natasha asked in perplexion.


    Keh narrowed his eyes. “Are you going to y dumb now?”


    Natasha looked at Keh yfully. Her pretty smiling face was as vibrant as the sun. “Keh, I


    don''t recall you asking me anything. So what am I supposed to agree to?”


    Keh caught her hint and proceeded to ask casually, “All right, let me ask you then. Do you want


    to be my woman?”


    “What happens if I reject?” Natasha teasingly asked, narrowing her eyes mischievously.


    Keh inched closer to her and whispered in her ear, “If you dare to reject, I''ll just have to use


    force then.”


    Natasha tilted her head upward to look at Keh, who was a lot taller than her. She then chided,


    “Keh, where is your chivalrous manner? You''re behaving like a scoundrel now!”


    “Well, I act ording to the situation. It has been proven that being a scoundrel seems to be more


    effective when dealing with you,” said Keh, his eyes containing a deep and loving gaze.


    “How shameless,” Natasha uttered in an unusually coy manner.


    Keh chuckled. “So, what do you say? Do you agree or not?”


    Natasha mulled over it for a few seconds. “Let me consider.”


    “I already gave you time to consider yesterday.”


    “Let me ask the children.” Natasha raised her brow.


    “They don''t have a choice. In terms of blood rtion, I already have an edge,” Keh replied.


    “Not necessarily,” Natasha retorted before breaking free from his embrace. “I''ll go and ask them


    now. Wait for my answer.”


    “If they object, will you do the same?” Keh grabbed her hand, unwilling to let go.


    “Yup!” Natasha nodded, beaming at him.


    With that, she struggled free from his grip and walked away.


    The smile on Keh''s face gradually disappeared as he watched Natasha walk away.


    Nat, I want you to be happy every day, just like how you are now. Let me bear all your sorrows and


    take revenge on your behalf. Even if you were to know the truth someday, I''m sure you will not


    regret knowing that he died in my hands.


    Keh turned his head to look outside. His face was filled with determination as an icy glint


    shed across his ebony eyes.


    Boss, I''ming for you!
