Chapter 718 Duty As A Man


    Boss kept his eyes on Keh, lost in thought. Taking advantage of the situation, Natasha seized


    her opportunity and charged forward to snatch the phone away from Boss.


    Meanwhile, Gavin was standing behind Boss, having kept his attention on Natasha the whole time.


    He had his guard up against her, worried that she would make any sudden movements. Thus,


    Natasha''s attempt to take Boss by surprise did not escape his notice. “Boss! Look out!” Gavin


    shouted as Natasha lunged forward.


    Despite not knowing what Natasha nned to do, Gavin subconsciously decided that her actions


    would be harmful to Boss. Hence, just as she moved forward, he darted over and shielded Boss


    behind his body.


    To his dismay, by the time he got there, it was already toote. Natasha had kicked Boss'' hand and


    sent the phone flying into the air, which she then quickly reached out to grab.


    Unfortunately, Gavin was not inexperienced either. Upon noticing that her target was the phone that


    was falling mid-air, Gavin took out a dagger from his sleeve and charged toward Natasha to stab


    her.


    “Nat!” Keh immediately fired his gun at Gavin at that sight.


    Bang!


    A series of gunshots followed.


    Upon seeing that people were aiming at Natasha, Keh—eyes darkened—raised his hand,


    bringing the enemy down one bullet at a time.


    At the same time, Mike and Alexia worked together seamlessly to protect Keh from behind.


    One by one, they took out the people who were aiming at Keh.


    In the end, Natasha leaped into the air to grab the phone. She ended her momentum by rolling onto


    the ground.


    Her heart seemed to settle back into her chest the moment the phone touched her skin.


    Keh hurried over and swept his gaze over her. His voice was quivering slightly as he asked,


    “Are you all right? Are you hurt?”


    Natasha shook her head in response, her face pale. “I''m all right.” Looking at the phone in her hand,


    she continued, “I got it.”


    Mixed emotions flickered through Keh''s ck eyes as he narrowed his eyes at her. His


    expression darkened. “Don''t you know that you almost...” He paused, unable to continue.


    Contrarily, Natasha answered calmly, “If I had dodged the attack, I wouldn''t have gotten the phone.”


    Natasha had no doubt that she would have been wounded by the knife, or worse, lost her life by it.


    However, at that point in time, she had only one choice: take the attack. She could not let others


    sacrifice themselves for her. That was something she needed to do, and that was her bottom line.


    However, that did not mean that Keh agreed with her principles.


    Keh''s eyes surged with emotions as he looked at her. He felt his chest tighten, as though


    something heavy was pressing on him, making it hard for him to breathe.


    Even so, he knew that it was not the right time to talk.


    With one move, he hoisted Natasha up and shielded her behind his body.


    At the same time, Boss checked up on Gavin. “How''re you doing? Are you okay?”


    Enduring the pain that was radiating from his wound, Gavin sucked in a deep breath before


    nodding. “I''m okay.”


    “Bear with it for a moment.” With that said, Boss turned around and shot daggers at Keh and


    the rest. In that second, something seemed to click inside his brain.


    Standing up slowly, he red at Natasha with a malicious glint in his eyes. “So this is what you


    meant by helping me?”


    Natasha walked out from behind Keh. Her gorgeous eyes showed no hint of emotions. “When I


    said that I''d help you, I meant against others, not against my own friends.”


    Boss narrowed his eyes and sneered. “Fine!” A ferocious expression spread across his face as he


    continued, “Do you think you can save them just by snatching away the phone? Let me break it to


    you: you''re being too na?ve! When the timer runs out, the bomb will still go off! You can''t stop it no


    matter what!”


    Natasha red at him.


    “Then again, you guys have no chance of rescuing them anymore.” As he spoke, Boss turned to


    look at Natasha. “I''ll give you onest chance. If you''re willing toe over to my side, I can


    pretend that all this never happened. I''ll give you the antidote and your freedom. You can do


    anything that you want. However, if you turn down my offer, then don''t me me for showing no


    mercy!”


    Natasha merely nced at him calmly. “Whatever you n to do, go ahead! Be my guest!”


    Boss couldn''t be any more incensed.


    “Very well. Your words. Not mine.” A murderous and determined look flickered across Boss'' gaze.


    He suddenly barked out an order, “Kill them all! Whoever manages to kill even one of them will be


    greatly rewarded!”


    When his men heard his im, they immediately hoisted their guns and aimed at Keh and the


    rest.


    Naturally, Keh''s side did not back down either. Instantly, everyone was in a standoff.


    A cold sneer touched Keh''s lips as he looked at Boss. “You still don''t seem to realize who has


    the upper hand today.”


    At that moment, wrath had clouded Boss'' judgment. Murderous intent was scribbled all over his


    face. “So what if you have the upper hand? I want all of you to die horrible deaths today!”


    With that, he barked out amand. “Kill them all!”


    The moment his words rang out, gunshots reverberated across the air.


    Unexpectedly, the bullets came from every direction. In the blink of an eye, the people on Boss'' side


    were falling down one by one.


    When Boss noticed what had happened, he furrowed his brows.


    Simrly, Gavin looked around with fear in his eyes. “Boss, they must have had ambushers


    surrounding us! As of now, the most important thing is for us to get out of here!”


    Unwilling to surrender just yet, Boss turned to re at Keh. His eyes were filled with hatred and


    fury.


    “Boss!” Gavin called out to him. “We''ll lose everything if we stay here!”


    “No! I must kill him!” Boss hollered.


    Before Gavin could get a word out, Boss stood up and called out to Keh. “Keh! Don''t you


    want the antidote?”


    Keh was advising Natasha to leave the scene. When he heard that, he paused and turned his


    attention to Boss.


    Keeping his eyes on Keh, Boss stood up and held out a small ck bottle in his hand. “Here''s


    the antidote.”


    Keh eyed him warily.


    “If you want it,e and take it.”


    “Why should I believe you?” Keh questioned.


    “You can choose to not believe me. If that''s the case, you can only watch as she screams in pain till


    her final breath!” Boss answered.


    Even if the bottle in his hand was filled with poison, he was certain that Keh woulde and


    take it from him. After all, Keh had no other options.


    As expected, Keh pondered about it for a brief moment before locking eyes with Boss and


    making his way forward without hesitation.


    “Keh.” Just then, Natasha grabbed his arm from behind.


    “Don''t go,” she warned. “He''s not to be trusted.”


    To her surprise, Keh merely smiled at her. “Nat, if there''s even a one-in-a-million chance that it


    might be real, I have to take it.”


    “Keh!” Natasha''s grip on his sleeve tightened even more. “If anyone should go get it, it''s me!”


    “Nat, this is my duty as a man. Be good and wait for me here.” With that, Keh let out a low


    chuckle and walked toward Boss with a half-smile.


    He forcefully removed himself from Natasha''s grip.


    Natasha''s frown deepened as she stared at his silhouette moving further away from her and toward


    Boss.

    On the other hand, Boss curled the corner of his lips into a malicious sneer at the sight.
