Chapter 969 Keh Is Surrounded


    “Wait.” At that moment, someone unexpectedly spoke up.


    Luke shifted his gaze, looking toward them.


    The person on the other side hesitated briefly before proceeding to drop the guns one by one onto


    the ground.


    Upon seeing this, Boss furrowed his brows and sternly ordered, “Don''t you dare drop them! Pick


    them up right now!”


    The person leading the other group stared at him and said, “But Boss, what about you? Nothing is


    more important than your safety.”


    “Cut the c*ap! Once you drop your guns, we''ll lose!” Boss yelled.


    The person looked on, his brows tightly knitted, seemingly unsure of his next course of action.


    “Pick it up!” he finally yelled.


    The rest of the other party hesitated, and at that moment, someone bent down to pick up a gun.


    Seeing this, Luke fired a shot at that person. The individual was wounded and fell, though the injury


    was not critical.


    “Why bother picking up what you''ve already put down?” he asked.


    “You—”


    “Try picking up another one, and the next shot willnd right here!” Luke pointed at a specific spot


    on Boss'' body.


    The leader of the other party watched with a furrowed brow.


    Just then, Boss fixed his gaze on him and asked, “Do you remember what I told you before, no


    matter when...”


    He didn''t finish his sentence, but the way he looked into the other person''s eyes seemed to convey


    everything.


    The other person listened with a solemn expression, and then he nodded firmly.

    “I understand,” he responded.


    Keh looked on. Even though he didn''t understand the meaning, he knew that this was their


    secret code.


    Denying them any further opportunities, Keh suddenly grinned at Boss. “It appears they don''t


    really care about you that much. Since that''s the case, allow me to bid you farewell.”


    Upon hearing that, Boss locked eyes with him, a subtle smile curling at the corners of his mouth. “J,


    do you believe that if I die, you won''t make it out alive either?”


    “Is that so?”


    Boss chuckled lightly. “You can try. Having you apany me in death might actually be


    worthwhile.”


    Keh''s gaze darkened. He knew very well that this person must have had intentions and a


    purpose in trying to return here. Yet, as fate would have it, humans were often stubborn. His gaze


    bore into Boss. “Since that''s the case, allow me to send you on your way first.” With those words, he


    pressed the gun against Boss'' forehead, slowly chambering a round.


    Boss showed no signs of fear, his gaze unwavering as he said, “J, remember this, whether I live or


    die, I''ll be a haunting presence in your life. You''ll never escape me in this lifetime.”


    Nevertheless, Keh remainedpletely unfazed. Looking at the man, he said, “It''s a shame


    that that''s merely your perception. As far as I''m concerned, you''re as insignificant as a speck of


    dust, hardly worth acknowledging.”


    Boss'' expression shifted slightly at that.


    For a strong person, this was probably the most hurtful thing to hear.


    I see him as a rival, yet he didn''t even consider me worthy of his attention.


    At the thought of that, Boss'' expression became even more grim.


    Staring at Keh with eyes filled with resentment, he retorted, “Keh, spare me the


    pleasantries, you can try—”


    Keh didn''t waste any more time to bicker with him, his finger poised to pull the trigger.


    However, right at that moment, a blinding burst of light suddenly engulfed them, apanied by


    the rapid stato of gunshots.


    “Boss, be careful!” Luke rushed forward, positioning himself directly in front of Keh.


    Thetter had no idea what was happening. By the time he came to his senses, he saw countless


    beams of intense lighting from above, shining directly on them. It was so bright that it was


    unbearable to keep their eyes open.


    “Boss, don''t open your eyes,” Luke warned, “this is a specially crafted light. If you open them, you''ll


    go blind.”


    Upon hearing the warning, Keh shut his eyes tightly.


    Luke promptly called out to those behind him, “Everyone, keep your eyes closed!”


    When Boss heard that, he suddenly burst intoughter. “I didn''t expect that you would actually know


    about this.”


    Hearing that, Keh tried to reach for the person beside him, only to find that Boss had already


    disappeared without a trace.


    At that moment, Keh understood everything and a cold smirk formed on his lips. “Boss, is this


    the trick you''ve been scheming all night to lure me here?”


    By then, Boss had long since made his way to safety, and a person nearby was freeing him from his


    handcuffs. Standing in the shadows, he observed the surrounded group, fully aware that now they


    were his prisoners.


    With this realization, a taunting smile graced his lips. “So what? Are you taken aback? Or pleasantly


    surprised, perhaps?”


    Keh sneered. “I had thought there were more tricks in store. Turns out, it''s nothing special!”


    Boss'' expression underwent a subtle transformation, his gaze reflecting a mix of emotions. “Indeed,


    it''s nothing special, but you still ended up in my hands, didn''t you? J, you truly are something,


    maintaining your defiance even in the face of death. I must admit, I admire your resolve.”


    “I have plenty more points left for you to admire!” Keh retorted.


    “It''s a pity I won''t have the chance to witness them, then,” Boss proimed. Then, he turned his


    attention to the people behind him and dered, “Listen closely, everyone. The individuals standing


    before us are among the most influential figures in DX Group. You''re undoubtedly aware of the


    immense wealth associated with that ce. If we take them down, everything acquired tonight will


    belong to all of you!”


    The moment he uttered those words, a wave of excitement swept through the surrounding crowd.


    Cheers filled the air at all four tables, and they looked at the surrounded group as if they were fishes


    laid out on a chopping block, ready to be ughtered at will.


    “Boss, can we start the countdown now?” someone aimed their weapon at Keh and the others


    and suggested.


    “Of course!” Boss replied. However, at that moment, his gaze fell upon Thalia in the crowd.


    His eyes narrowed slightly, and then, after whispering something to the person beside him, that


    individual nodded and proceeded directly toward Thalia.


    At this point, Keh and hispanions found themselves surrounded from all sides.


    Thalia was concentrating with her eyes closed, attuned to the shifting sounds when suddenly,


    someone approached and pulled her away.


    Born with keen instincts, she discerned that the person wasn''t Spencer and swiftly acted,


    dislocating their arm.


    An agonizing scream sounded, then the person said, “I''m here to save you!”


    “Save me?” Thalia asked, her voice filled with disbelief.


    “Boss ordered me to save you!”


    Thalia was slightly taken aback. While she didn''t know the connection between Boss and this


    unfamiliar face, she could tell that he cared a lot about them.


    After a moment of hesitation, she said, “All right, I''ll go with you.”


    Suddenly, Spencer called out to her, “Thalia.”


    Even though Thalia couldn''t see Spencer''s exact location, she could still pinpoint his position by the


    sound of his voice.


    She walked up to him and embraced him.


    “Wait for me,” she said.


    Spencer had a lot to say, but after a long pause, all he managed was, “Be careful.”


    Thalia didn''t say more. Instead, she released him and followed the person, leaving with them.


    As they walked, Thalia discreetly sent some signals to Anthony. Fortunately, the person leading her


    was unaware of her gestures, and even Boss, at a distance, remained oblivious to any potential


    problems.
