Chapter 541
Just as Keh expected, Boss fell silent upon hearing that.
He could even hear Boss gritting his teeth. It was undeniably a satisfying feeling for the former.
Shortly after, Boss chuckled. “J, what''s the point of such meaningless banters? You should do
something more practical if you''re a man.”
“Oh? What do you have in mind?” Keh questioned in his irritating tone as usual.
“Are you up for a game?” asked Boss.
“A game?” Keh repeated with a snicker. “Why not? But what are you going to bet with? What
else do you still have?” Keh asked.
Boss was clearly prepared, for he responded confidently, “That reminds me. Have you heard the
news about your woman eliminating people in Vermillion Base? She dealt with the entire army
alone. Boy, she''s more powerful than a man. To be honest with you, I was shocked myself.”
Keh felt his heart sink when he heard that. He stared into the distance as his dark eyes
narrowed. “What did you say?” he uttered word by word.
Feigning nonchnce, Boss asked, “Huh? You don''t know about it? Did she not tell you or did you
not notice her covered in wounds?”
Right then, the image of Natasha''s wounds shed through Keh''s mind.
His hand around the phone tightened immediately.
Regardless, Keh was a rational and calm person. He knew he must not be led blindly by his
emotions.
Swallowing his fury, he gritted, “Is that so?”
“Come on. You don''t believe me? It''s okay. Someone recorded a video of it. Here, let me send it to
you,” offered Boss.
Soon after, Keh''s phone dinged with a notification. He unlocked the phone and tapped on the
notification to find the video Boss had sent. In the video, Natasha looked as if she had lost her
rationality from all the killings.
With her hair in a mess and her body covered in bloodstains, she stood on the ground littered with
bodies and pools of blood.
Even though Natasha managed to kill the opponents that lunged at her, the scene still worried
Keh.
Even his knuckles turned white from gripping the phone too tightly.
After a long time, Keh brought the phone back to his ear and asked, “What do you want?”
“What''s wrong? Are you worried already? That''s only the beginning. I haven''t even said what I
wanted to say yet,” sneered Boss.
Keh narrowed his eyes and tightened his grip on his phone without saying anything.
“Once that was over, I found a bracelet at the scene. At first, I wanted to get it repaired and return it
to Ms. Watson, but guess what I found inside?” asked Boss.
“If you have something to say just spit it out!” growled Keh.
Nheless, Boss was unbothered by Keh''s tone. After all, he had the upper hand. “The
bracelet had a chip. I sent someone to look into it, and apparently, only hackers use this kind of
thing. So, tell me. What does this mean?”
It was at that moment that Keh understood what Boss was getting at. The man was suspicious
of Natasha''s identity.
Keh knew revealing her identity would set off a chain reaction, and many would express their
interest in coborating with her. Most importantly, she would be in grave danger if she refused
them.
Therefore, her identity could never be revealed.
Keh knew Boss was merely testing the waters. Even if thetter figured out Natasha was a
hacker, he would never think she was Shadow Seeker. Keh''s only fear was that Boss would
continue probing into the matter.
At that thought, Keh asked, “Are you talking about the bracelet I gave her? What about it? Do
you, perhaps, like it? I can give you two if that''s the case.”
“Her bracelet was a gift from you?”
“Is there a problem with that? How else will she be able to send me messages if she doesn''t wear
it?” responded Keh with a question.
Boss was taken aback. “That''s a great question. I don''t know what to say to that.”
“Listen here. Stop targeting a woman and just go for me if you''re truly a man,” Keh gritted out.
“Oh, don''t worry. I''ll keep looking into this matter. Of course, I won''t let you off, either,” dered
Boss.
Tightening his grip on the phone, Keh interrogated, “You were the one who killed Natasha''s
parents, weren''t you?”
Keh heard a significant pause from the other end of the call.
“I don''t know what you''re talking about,” Boss refuted immediately.
“Hah... When I was younger, I saw you in front of their door on the day her parents died.”
“You were that boy who passed by?” Boss asked.
The corners of Keh''s lips curled into a smirk. “Looks like you still remember me.”
After a moment of silence, Boss asked, “How did you recognize me?”
“The mark behind your neck.”
Boss was momentarily stunned, and he shed a smile. “Indeed, I was there that day, but I wasn''t
the one who killed them.”
“Then, why did you have blood on you?” asked Keh.
Boss fell silent.
“I know you like her, but your denial doesn''t prove anything!” Keh enunciated.
Boss did not expect Keh to be so straightforward. Thetter seemed to know everything when
Boss had told him nothing.
Taking a deep breath, Boss argued, “So what if I like her? She''s just a woman. To me, she''s just a
woman who''s a little special. Sure, you can tell her I was the killer, but what can she do about it?”
“I won''t tell her,” said Keh.
“Oh?”
“Because I''m going to kill you myself,” Keh hissed, his voice filled with rage.
Boss'' snickers came through the speaker. “I''d like to see if you''re really capable of that.”
Without saying anything else, Keh hung up and stared into the distance with a furious gaze. It
was as if he was looking right at Boss at that moment.
I''m going to kill him sooner orter. Deep down, he was worried whenever he thought about what
happened to Natasha at Vermillion Base. He even felt the urge to destroy everything.
How on earth did she hold on back then?
His hands trembled as he thought of how those men lunged at her.

It''s a good thing they''re already dead. Otherwise, I would''ve made them suffer more.
While thinking about that, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder.
He turned around to find Natasha behind him with her eyes fixed on him.
