Boss cast Kenneth a hard stare.
“That's for the bullet you put in me the last time around,” Kenneth said.
“Kenneth, if you're so capable, just kill me already!” Boss yelled.
“No!” Kenneth shook his head. “Why are you so gruesome? Since when am
I capable of killing people?”
Seeing how angry Boss was, Kenneth added, “Instead of killing someone, wouldn't it be more interesting to torture someone?”
With that, he sized Boss up and said, “I'll put a bullet in each of your legs and send you back to Vermillion Base. I wonder if they would want to keep a disabled person around!”
Kenneth stared at him and said, “Or you could choose for yourself. I'll let you pick which part of your body you want me to shoot at!”
Boss chuckled coldly in response. “J, you're living up to your name, aren't you? You're an expert in torturing.”
“Thanks for your compliment.” Kenneth smiled.
Seeing that Boss was still unwilling to talk, Kenneth asked, “So? Have you made your decisions? Do you want to answer my questions, or do you want holes in your body?”
Boss stared at him for a while and uttered, “Isn't that woman Theodore's daughter?”
Hearing that, Kenneth kept his smile away. “Theodore?”
“What? You do know who's Theodore, right?” Boss asked. “Theodore is your woman's father!”
Although Kenneth wasn't sure about that, he had his suspicions.
“It seems like you know a lot.” Kenneth narrowed his eyes.
Boss smirked and looked at Kenneth mockingly. “You look like you don't know sh*t!”
“It's none of your business!” Kenneth retorted.
Boss acted casual and raised his brows. “In that case, your relationship with her isn't even that strong. J, why would you do this just for a woman?”
“Why? Are you trying to change my mind?” “If we were to work together, we'll surely have a bright future. By then, we'll control Zaewora and Aploth.
Doesn't that sound nice?” Boss asked.
Kenneth narrowed his eyes and cast Boss a scornful glance. “Is that so?”
“If we work together, we'll control both the authorities and also the underground circles!”
“You're an ambitious man, aren't you?”
“Isn't that how every man should be? Why would you trade a woman for a business partner, J?” Boss tried to persuade him.
However, Kenneth wasn't going to fall for it.
He flashed a smile and said, “I wasn't born an ambitious man. Instead, I'm willing to go crazy for a woman!”
With that, Kenneth changed his expression and aimed the gun at Boss once again. “So? Are you going to talk?”
Seeing that his plan had failed, Boss smiled. “Theodore was Vermillion
Base's first batch of hackers.”
Kenneth frowned at the sentence. Who would've known that Natasha's father was also a hacker? Well, no wonder Natasha is who she is today. She's continuing her father's legacy. At times, life is full of surprises, isn't it?
With that in mind, Kenneth asked, “Do you know Theodore died?”
Boss froze momentarily and answered, “I do.”
“Do you?” Kenneth raised a brow. “Do you know how he died, then?”
“Did Theodore's daughter stop my men at the hotel entrance because she wanted to know how did Theodore die?” Boss asked.
Kenneth's expression turned grim.
“You're not the one asking questions.”
Boss froze for a moment and smiled. It seemed like he had figured something out.
“Keep talking!” Kenneth demanded.
