You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth)

Chapter 1047 Natasha Steps In

Just as Holden was about to charge forward, a woman slowly walked over from a near distance away. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Dressed in a white ankle-length dress, she had a slender figure, and her long hair was casually draped over her back. Her entire being exuded an unrivaled aura. She strolled out leisurely until she reached the crowd, her stunningly beautiful features taking their breath away.

The moment she appeared, Thalia's brows furrowed. “Nat? Why did she come out?”

Glimpsing the look in their eyes, Dave also turned around. Upon seeing Natasha, he instantly frowned. He quickly went over to her. “Why did you come out?”

Natasha stared in Holden's direction, her expression calm and devoid of emotion. At that question, she answered softly, “This problem has to be resolved, one way or another. Since Kenneth is unable to do it now, I have to step in.” Her voice was low and sorrowful.

Dave immediately argued in a low voice, “This is no joking matter. He believes that Kenneth killed his fiancée. With you here, if he were to find out about your identity, he might...”

The utterance was left unfinished, but its meaning was already crystal clear.

“In any case, go in first. I'll handle this,” Dave urged.

Despite his words, Natasha wasn't the least bit worried. “I have a pretty good understanding of the whole situation.”

“Why did you still come out, then?” Dave asked, puzzled.

Natasha looked up at him, her innocent features carrying a hint of indifference. “You've already done a lot for us, Dave. You can't bear such a blood feud on our behalf.”

Dave's brows furrowed.

Before he could say anything else, Natasha walked right ahead.

“Natasha...” Seeing that, Dave immediately stepped forward. As though fearful that Holden would do something rash, he positioned himself beside her, seemingly ready to shield her anytime.

Natasha stopped a safe distance across from Holden. Looking at him, she asked softly, “You're Holden?”

As Holden stared at her, he reined in the anger radiating off him and narrowed his eyes slightly. “Who are you?”

“I am Kenneth's girl...” Mid-utterance, Natasha paused before amending with a smile, “Fiancée.”

When Holden heard that, the look in his eyes became even more complex.

“Fiancée...” he murmured. Then, he looked at her and asked, “Where is Kenneth? Why, he doesn't dare come out yet sent you out here to die for him?”

At his accusation, Natasha flashed him a faint smile and said, “It's not that he doesn't dare come out, but he can't.”

“What does that mean?” Holden questioned.

“An unexpected incident happened during the raid on Vermillion Base back then, and he's still unconscious now. Therefore, I'm afraid he won't be able to come out and have a duel with you,” Natasha said lightly as though discussing a mundane matter.

Hearing that, Holden froze slightly.

He subconsciously shifted his gaze to Kyle behind him.

Verily, he didn't believe there would be such a coincidence in this world.

Kyle has just asked me to leave, and now, Kenneth is in a vegetative state?

He knew there must be something he had yet to discover.

But at that moment, nothing was more important than his hatred. Looking at Natasha, he scoffed, “Why, does Kenneth think he can escape my revenge with such a method? Let me tell you this—no matter his condition, he won't be able to hide from me!”

“I won't elaborate further on whether he is such a person. But what I want to tell you is this—if you're seeking revenge, I'm afraid today is not the day. If you really want to do so, you'll have to wait until he regains consciousness. Then, you can have a duel with real weapons, and I won't interfere regardless of the outcome.”

Upon hearing that, Holden gave a sudden bark of laughter. “But what if I want to kill him right now?”

“Then, I'll have no choice but to duel you in his stead,” Natasha said, her gaze gradually sharpening as she looked at him.

It had been a long time since she last fought, and she wasn't even sure if she was still capable of it.

At that, Holden burst into hearty laughter. But in the next instant, his smile abruptly vanished. As hatred swamped him, his face contorted in a mask of rage.

“Fine. If that's the case, I won't hold back. Kenneth killed my fiancée, so I'll give him a taste of his own medicine. After killing you, I'll go and kill him,” Holden declared. Then, he pulled out a gun and walked toward Natasha.

At that moment, everyone instantly went on alert.

Seeing that, Dave immediately stepped forward to shield Natasha.

Thalia also rushed up immediately at that sight. “No!” While saying that, she looked at Natasha and shouted, “Are you dumb, Natasha? Go! Quick, leave now!”

Holden didn't have the time to ask questions then, his gaze fixed on Natasha. At that moment, she was his target.

Standing in front of Natasha, Dave raised his gun and aimed at Holden, seemingly ready to pull the trigger any second.

Of course, the other party wasn't willing to back down either, raising their guns as well.

Seeing that, Kyle immediately stepped forward. “Dave, you know very well that the consequences would be unimaginable if this shot were fired. Don't start a feud that wasn't started years ago today.”

Nonetheless, Dave coolly held his gun steady, pointing it at them. “You should be advising the man standing next to you, not me.”

Kyle looked at Holden again, reaching out and grasping his gun.

“Holden!”

“If you're my buddy, don't try to stop me!”

“If the person in front of you were Kenneth, I wouldn't stop you. But don't project your hatred onto others!”

“Kenneth could kill my girlfriend, so why can't I kill his fiancée? It's only fair!”

“But...” Kyle stared at him, frowning deeply. “In any case, you can't kill that woman!”

“Even though I don't understand what's going on with you all today, Kyle, it's either Kenneth or this woman. One of them must die!” Holden enunciated.

A near distance away, Natasha walked right out from behind Dave.

“Have you lost your mind, Natasha!” Thalia suddenly shouted.

Seeing that, Holden immediately raised his gun to aim it at Natasha.

At that very moment, Thalia rushed forward without warning and positioned herself directly between them with her arms outstretched.

At that, Spencer's eyes promptly went wide. “Thalia!”

In the next moment, he quickly stepped forward, intending to stop her.

However, Thalia stared at Holden recklessly. “You can't do this, Holden!”

Seeing them all acting out of character that day, Holden felt an indescribable sense of confusion and complexity deep within.

“What are you doing, Thalia?”

“You can't kill her!” Thalia asserted.

“Why? What on earth is going on with you guys today?” Holden roared, gaping at them in disbelief.

Why are they stopping me time and again?

“If you kill her, everything will truly fall into chaos.”

“Give me a reason!”

Thalia pursed her lips. While she was wondering what to say, a petite figure walked over from a stone's throw away just then.

“I am the reason.”
