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

Chapter 669

Kenneth glanced at him indifferently before averting his gaze. “What's so weird about it?”

“I can't quite put my finger on it, but I feel something is amiss. Boss didn't suffer much when you rescued Nat or did anything to him. He was also aware of DX's strength, so even if we were to engage in a confrontation, he wouldn't get anything out of it. But somehow, he insisted on killing us. What could be the reason?” Anthony raised his doubt.

Kenneth responded, “A dog needs no reason to bite.”

“Yes, I know, but—”

“The reason is simple. He wants to kill me because I kidnapped him before and injured him.”

Anthony and Benjamin were stunned. They turned their attention to him. “When did this happen?”

“At Glenport City,” Kenneth answered nonchalantly.

Anthony immediately understood what it was all about. “No wonder! It all makes sense now. He wants revenge!”

Kenneth did not want to explain further. After extinguishing his cigarette, he looked at the boys. “After this, he should be aware of your existence. So no matter what happens, it's important for you to be more cautious whenever you go out.”

Anthony and Benjamin both nodded in acknowledgment.

“Let's go. It's getting late, and Nat is still waiting at home,” Kenneth said. As he turned around, he extended his arms and embraced Benjamin, a gesture that was quite rare.

Benjamin froze, as he did not know how to react to his gesture. He looked up at Kenneth and smiled at him.

It was amazing how men could improve their relationships by being on the same page.

At that moment, their relationship went beyond just father and son. It was more akin to that of friends.

As they were about to get into the car, two cars suddenly came speeding toward them.

Seeing the cars, Kenneth instinctively pulled the two boys back and stood before him.

Anthony and Benjamin had no intention of hiding behind. One of them leaned out and looked at the approaching cars.

“Are they chasing after us again?” Anthony asked.

Kenneth shook his head when he saw the vehicles clearly. “It's not them!”

Anthony raised his eyes. “How do you know?”

“They can't afford these cars!”

“Oh, you're right.”

The car honked and stopped beside them. A few men then got out of the car.

They were Mike, Luke, and Alexia.

After getting out of the cars, they greeted Kenneth and the boys.

“Boss, are you okay?” Luke asked.

Kenneth looked at them. “What are you guys doing here?”

“Dave said you were attacked. We couldn't reach you, so we asked him for your whereabouts and came here to lend you a hand,” he said, looking around. “Where are they?”

“I've taken care of them,” Kenneth replied.

At that time, Mike walked toward Kenneth after sizing the car up. “Kenneth, based on the bullet marks on the car, it seems that multiple vehicles were pursuing you. Did you manage to handle all of them?”

Kenneth nodded calmly. “Of course.”

“All by yourself?”

Anthony spoke up. “Excuse me, did you not see us?”

The three of them finally noticed Anthony and Benjamin.

Mike was stunned for a moment when he saw Anthony's face. “Kenneth, i-is he your son?”

Kenneth inclined his head in response.

“Boss, he looks just like you!” Luke couldn't help but express his astonishment.

“And this one looks like Natalie,” Mike said while studying Anthony and Benjamin. Although he had already seen Denise, seeing Anthony and Benjamin was still a shock.

Kenneth kept mum.

Mike immediately squatted down and looked at them. “Hey, kids. Were you scared just now?”

Anthony nearly rolled his eyes when he heard the man call them kids.

Nonetheless, he had to present himself as someone with good manners.

“We weren't scared. With Daddy around, we're not afraid of anything,” Anthony said.

“You're right. Your daddy is a renowned sharpshooter. With him around, you really have nothing to be afraid of!” Mike said with a laugh.

Anthony responded with a cursory smile as he decided not to entertain him anymore.

Mike stood up and looked at Kenneth. “Boss, you're alone with two kids. Did you really take care of everything?”

“Is there a problem?” Kenneth asked in return. He did not mention the fact that Anthony and Benjamin helped out. It's best if not too many people know about them.

Mike froze for a moment before shaking his head, “N-Nope. I was just worried about the kids.”

Kenneth stroked one of the kids' heads and said, “They can handle pressure better than you, so don't worry about them.”

His remark rendered Mike speechless. Did I just make a fool out of myself?

Alexia, too, walked up to Kenneth and looked at him. “Are you injured?”

Kenneth glanced at her before shaking his head. “I'm fine. But how did Dave know we were attacked?” He turned his gaze to Mike and Luke after asking the question.

“Dave installed a system in the car. Once an attack is detected, it'll trigger the system. That's how we received the updates in DX!” one of them explained.

Hearing this, Kenneth nodded. “I see.”

“So, Boss, shall we take you back?” Mike asked.

“It's all right. Those people won't catch up. I can go back on my own,” Kenneth said.

“Let us take you back. It's better to have someone accompany you on the road,” Mike insisted.

Kenneth was about to say something but paused when he saw the two little ones. He realized he needed to consider their safety as well.

After considering that, Kenneth nodded.

“Come on. Let's go.”

With Luke, Mike, and Alexia's cars flanking him, Kenneth drove away from the scene.

As soon as Kenneth got in the car, his phone rang.

Seeing that it was Dave, he answered the call. “Yes?”

“You finally answered the phone,” Dave said.

“I left my phone in the car earlier.”

“I thought you were dead!” Dave expressed his worry. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Relax. No one in this world can kill me. At least the person is not born yet,” Kenneth said calmly.

“Are you guys all right?”

“We're fine,” Kenneth replied before glancing at the passenger seat. “Your weapons got a little damaged, though.”

“I actually wanted to talk to you about that. I modified the vehicle and installed a fully automated firing system in the back with a decent range. Feel free to try it out.”

Anthony and Benjamin overheard the call as Kenneth had the speaker on. They were bereft of words upon hearing that.

Anthony leaned forward and asked, “You could have told us earlier, Mr. Dave.” What a Monday morning quarterback!

Dave burst into laughter when he heard that. “Sorry, I was in a meeting and didn't have my phone with me. By the time I saw your message, you guys had pretty much ended the confrontation.”

“Do you know how dangerous the situation was? What's the point of bringing this up when we've resolved it?” Anthony expressed his dismay.

“What if another attack awaits you? How certain are you that there won't be any other attacks in the future?” Dave countered.

Once again, Anthony's words caught in his throat, as he did not know what else to say. Wow! You mean I should thank you instead, huh?
