Chapter 664
The boys realized something and looked behind them.
As they expected, they saw a vehicle chasing them at high speed, seemingly intending to stop them.
Anthony was thinking about something with a frown when he saw a gun poking out of the car behind them and aiming at them.
“Daddy, gun!”
Kenneth accelerated the car even further. Despite his efforts, the car had still been shot a few times.
“Get down,” he commanded in a deep voice.
The boys did as their father said and hid in a safe spot.
Kenneth pulled out a gun from underneath his seat as he floored the gas.
Upon seeing that, the boys exchanged a scarily composed glance. They seemed to be used to it. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Abruptly, Kenneth slowed down the car, to which the pursuer responded by increasing their speed. Just as the two vehicles were moving side-by-side, he lowered the window, lifted his gun, and pulled the trigger.
The other party didn't anticipate that turn of events and received a shot to the head.
Kenneth stepped on the accelerator again to avoid a crash.
The boys quickly straightened up and turned back to see the car behind them swerving on the road before smashing into the railing.
Excitement colored Anthony's countenance. “Daddy, they stopped!”
Kenneth glanced at the rearview mirror silently and focused on driving away.
“Daddy, you were amazing,” Anthony praised.
“Well, of course. Daddy is DX's skilled sharpshooter, after all. His name would strike fear into anyone's heart back then,” Benjamin piped up.
Furrowing his eyebrows, Anthony asked, “How do you know about that?”
“Mr. Dave told me when we went to his armory last time.”
“I see! I must've missed it, then.”
“No, you didn't. Didn't you see how awesome Daddy was earlier?”
“That's true.” Anthony looked at his father. “You're so much more amazing than the legends, Daddy!”
“Really?” Kenneth asked.
“Of course.”
I don't think they've flattered me like this before, but I have to say, it makes me feel pretty good to hear their compliments. ”What am I like in the legends?”
“Well, the legends only mentioned you're amazing, but not how amazing you are. Also, the legends say the one thing you have the most is scandals.”
That rendered Kenneth speechless for a moment. “As expected, legends are unreliable. Don't mention stuff like that in front of Nat.”
The boys couldn't help but chuckle.
Benjamin adjusted his posture and looked behind. He saw the car before following them again. “Daddy, they're back.”
Kenneth looked at the rearview mirror and saw that his son was, indeed, correct.
He narrowed his eyes coldly. If not for the children, I would've taken them out with extreme measures. However, as much as I want to do that, I can't risk their safety.
Before he sped up again, he reminded, “Sit tight, you two.”
When it came to driving, he was pretty skilled.
The boys fastened their seatbelts and occasionally glanced behind them to update their father on their pursuer's actions.
Anthony exclaimed, “They're speeding up too, Daddy! It seems that they're deadset on taking us down!”
Kenneth sneered. “I'd like to see them try.”
“Daddy, there are two cars chasing after us now,” Benjamin said.
Anthony sat straight and turned around as well.
He couldn't help but curse when he saw another car catching up to them slowly. “Crap, there really is another one!”
“Stay down or you'll get shot!” Kenneth said.
Right then, he heard two gunshots landing on the glass at the back of the car.
The boys were frightened, but when they saw the glass remained intact, they exchanged a glance.
Benjamin touched the glass and turned to his father excitedly. “It's bulletproof glass, Daddy!”
“You still have to be careful.”
“Okay.”
The boys continued to monitor the situation behind their vehicle for him.
The pursuers were relentless. Occasionally, they would open fire.
Instead of engaging with the enemy, Kenneth simply tried to shake the pursuers off.
When Anthony noticed his father's intentions, he asked, “You're not going to do it, Daddy?”
“Do what?”
“Take them out, of course!”
“It's two cars against one right now, and we don't know if there are more reinforcements waiting nearby.”
“So?”
“For the sake of your and your brother's safety, our best option right now is to leave.”
“Isn't that... cowardly?” Anthony frowned. It feels like we're fleeing.
Kenneth looked at the boys through the rearview mirror. “What, is running away too embarrassing for you?”
“A little.”
The edges of Kenneth's lips curved upward slightly before he shifted his focus back to the road. “Let me tell you two something. When we can win, we should fight, but when we can't, we should run. There's nothing embarrassing about escaping our enemies!”
“Are you trying to comfort yourself, Daddy?” Anthony teased.
“Participating in a losing battle will only result in us suffering major losses in the end,” Kenneth lectured as he continued to pay attention on the road.
Despite understanding their father's words, the boys still felt embarrassed.
As if he could read their minds, Kenneth uttered, “Have you heard of the saying that there is wisdom in retreating from a losing battle?”
The boys shook their heads.
They weren't too familiar with the local sayings because they grew up in a foreign country.
“It means fleeing is a strategy one should employ when facing an adversary one can't defeat. We're making a tactical decision to escape, and there's nothing cowardly about that. Those who insist on fighting are fools,” Kenneth explained.
Upon hearing that, Anthony put on a polite smile. “This is the first time I heard someone describe the act of running away wretchedly as something good!”
