Chapter 800 No Way To Escape Unscathed


    “Our man told me that Boss doesn''t know we are still alive. Hence, he wants to attack DX Group


    now. What do you think? Should we use this opportunity to counterattack him?” Dave questioned.


    “Oh, he doesn''t know?” Keh answered.


    Dave nodded. “I''m not surprised. The explosion was quite terrifying, so it wouldn''t be strange for


    there to be nothing much left of us if we had died there.”


    Keh didn''t believe that could be true. “But Boss is known to be paranoid and suspicious of


    others. Does he really believe we''re dead since there were no signs of our bodies?”


    “Who told you that he didn''t find any bodies?” Dave answered back with a smile. “Boss found a few


    bodies at the scene, confirming to him that we are dead.”


    “Were you the one who arranged for that?”


    Dave shook his head. “Nope. It wasn''t me.”


    “Whose contribution is it, then?”


    Dave didn''t know either, so he shook his head. “I''m not sure. The most important thing is Boss


    believed what he saw. To him, DX Group is an organization without its leaders now, so he is bound


    to do something drastic.”


    Even though Keh was no pessimist, he found this information absurd. After pondering for a


    while, he asked warily, “Something is amiss. What if this is a trap?”


    “I know what you''re thinking because I had the same thought too. That''s why I didn''t tell both of you


    this all this while. Don''t worry, though. I''ve done my investigation and probed into the matter, and


    Boss indeed thinks we''re dead. Besides, Boss is not trying to hide his intention to exact revenge


    and attack DX Group now. He is intent on searching for our headquarters and bagging everything


    all at once.”


    It was true that Keh remained in disbelief over this matter. Yet, he trusted Dave. Dave wasn''t


    someone who blindly believed in others'' words. If he was confident of something, then someone or


    something must have convinced him to think that way.


    Keh furrowed his brows, his eyes darkening as he considered something.


    Amid the silence, Natasha turned around to stare at Keh. “Yes, Boss is a suspicious man, but


    we must consider that he might have fallen into a vicious cycle now, desperate to exact revenge on


    you guys. I think it''s possible that he really does believe that you guys are gone.”


    With that, she threw out a question. “Do you have a n in mind?”


    Dave peered at Natasha before focusing his attention on Keh.


    Meanwhile, Keh regained his senses, averting his gaze from Natasha. “Dave, tell me about


    your n.”


    “I have a bold suggestion to make him bite the bait, and it''s a one hundred percent sess rate.”


    “What is it?”


    Dave fixated his gaze on the couple, slowly borating on his n. Natasha and Keh''s brows


    furrowed deeper and deeper as the conversation progressed. Ultimately, both of them stopped


    speaking.


    “Why are you guys so quiet?” Dave nced at them.


    Unease shed across Natasha''s eyes as she looked at Dave. After a moment, she spoke. “Dave, I


    know you''re doing this for our benefit, but this n can cause excessive damage and loss to DX


    Group. I''m not sure...”


    “DX Group would have suffered a greater loss without your help today,” Dave corrected her.


    “It''s not the same!”


    “No matter what, DX Group can''t escape unscathed now. Even if we don''t go after him, he will still


    come for us, so all we can do is confront him head-on! Moreover, it will be a blessing for all if we


    manage to eliminate Vermillion Base once and for all this time. If we can''t, then we shall go down


    with them!” Dave was determined.


    Natasha wasn''t someone that would reject others'' suggestions aimlessly, and Dave''s remarks had


    convinced her. However, Natasha knew this wasn''t her decision to make or her ce to talk, so she


    switched her attention to Keh.


    Keh nodded his head at her before looking at Dave. “I have noment on all other parts of


    your n. But I stand by my opinion that it''s precarious to go on with the n now because we''ve


    yet to know what makes Boss believe that we''re dead.”


    “There''s no way for us to delve into that, though. The only thing that I know is our men nearly


    believed that we were dead too.”


    Keh was undoubtedly still worried. “Something is not right about this. I''m sure about that.”


    Dave pondered for a moment before pulling out his phone. “Mike, pleasee into the room.”


    Mike, who had been lingering outside when he got the message, immediately walked in, greeting,


    “Hi Dave, Keh, Natasha.”


    Then, he shifted his gaze to Dave. “Dave, were you looking for me?”


    Dave looked at him, nodding. “I need you to look into something.”


    “What is it?”


    “Please find out who was the mastermind behind the bodies found at the explosion at Boss'' ce.”


    Uh...


    Mike was confused by Dave''s request. He stared at thetter. “Why do we need to probe into this?”


    “Cut the crap. Just get it done,” Dave retorted, though his voice was rxed.


    “There''s no need to do that. I know who was responsible for it,” Mike offered.


    All eyes in the room fell upon Mike when they heard what he said.


    “You know?” Dave asked.


    Mike nodded.


    “Who?” Dave continued.


    Mike hesitated. “Will I be punished if I tell the truth?”


    “It was you,” Keh stated confidently.


    Mike knew he couldn''t hide the truth then, so he admitted, “It was me. But I only wanted to confuse


    Boss. I didn''t give much thought about this.”


    The others were in disbelief upon hearing his exnation, while Mike looked at them fearfully, not


    understanding what was going on.


    “Dave, Keh, I can exin...”


    Just then, Dave chuckled. “You did well!”


    Mike was stumped.


    Keh added, “He must have wanted to y a prank at first.”


    Even though Dave and Keh''s voices were calm, Mike couldn''t bring himself to rx. “So...


    you''re not going to punish me?”


    “Nope. You will still be punished,” Dave announced.


    “I...”


    “I know you are jealous that Luke has a car, right? Your punishment is to get Keh to buy you a


    car too.”


    Mike eximed, “For real?”


    Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    Keh spoke then. “Is this a punishment for me?”


    “Mike did a great job and helped you guys unknowingly. You should be rewarding him. Besides, you


    should be fair. If Luke has a car, Mike should have one too.”


    Mike nodded in agreement. “Yes. Dave is right!”


    Kehughed lightly, lifting his head to look at Mike. “Was it really you who did that?”


    Now sure about Keh and Dave''s positive reaction to what he did, Mike replied, “Yea, it was me.


    But it wasn''t just me. I did it with a few other of our people...”


    “What was the reason that prompted you to do that?” Keh asked.


    “You guys were hurt, and I was scared that Boss would show up, wanting revenge. This idea


    popped into my mind because I wanted you guys to rest more.”


    “Even though you made a pointless move back then, now, we can say that you made a great


    move,” Kehplimented.


    Mike stared at Keh as anticipation built up within him. “Keh, what about...”


    Keh feigned ignorance of Mike''s hopeful eyes. He turned toward Dave. “We can go ahead with


    the n.”
