Kenneth frowned upon hearing that, his eyes looking incredibly cold.
“In that case, they have not met each other yet, right?” Kenneth asked.
“Of course. My men are keeping an eye on them all day. Rest assured that we will stop them before they have the chance to meet each other face to face!” Dave replied.
Kenneth's eyes glinted when he heard the response. With his mind at ease, he turned to gaze at Dave and said, “Thank you.”
Dave glanced at him for a moment and continued driving. With his eyes peeled on the road, he said, “Why don't you tell me what happened?”
“What do you mean?” Kenneth asked.
Dave knitted his brows. “Stop pretending to be ignorant. You know that I don't help anyone. If you don't make it clear, don't blame me when one of our men screw things up...”
With a grim look, Kenneth said, “Didn't I say it before? She's more important than my life!”
Instantly, Dave's lips curled into a grin. “Is she your girlfriend?”
Staring at him, Kenneth answered, “She's the mother of my children!”
Finding it difficult to believe, Dave snorted and said, “Tsk! You're indeed shameless!”
Since he didn't want to believe it, Kenneth was too lazy to explain further.
“If she's your girlfriend, why would she be here? Could it be that... she isn't fond of you?” Dave guessed.
“Do you think your hypothetical question will ever happen to me?” Kenneth asked him back.
Dave scanned him for a while and said playfully, “Although it's unlikely to happen, life is full of surprises. What else is impossible when you, Kenneth Hamilton, value a woman more than life?”
Kenneth was rendered speechless and didn't respond to that.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Dave's mind. He quickly gazed at Kenneth and said, “By the way, do you remember we met a master when we were on a mission many years ago?”
A moment of thought later, Kenneth said, “I vaguely remember that, yes.”
“Well, do you still remember what the master told us back then?”
Kenneth looked at him and asked curiously, “What did he say?”
“Once the master saw you, he said you're born to be a leader and will possess power your whole life. Although your life is generally smooth, the only obstacle is romance. You can avoid it by staying away from women, or a calamity awaits you!” Dave said and flashed him a mocking smile.
After Dave finished, Kenneth looked at him and said, “Well, what are you suggesting?”
“I'm reminding you about what the master said before. Stay away from women, and you'll avoid the obstacle. Otherwise, a calamity would befall you!” Dave repeated mockingly.
When the image of his loved one flashed through his mind, Kenneth narrowed his eyes and rumbled, “I'd rather face the calamity.”
Although Dave had meant to tease Kenneth, he knew that the latter wasn't joking in his reply.
After a while, Dave said playfully, “It seems like you're serious this time.”
“Of course! Do you think I'm here to visit you?” Kenneth retorted.
Dave nodded in response. “I'm curious about what kind of a woman can make J, who used to stay away from women, become so loyal.”
Meanwhile, an indescribable feeling arose as Kenneth thought about Natasha again.
I'm also curious about how Natasha captured my heart, so much so that I'm willing to come from afar to find her.
As the car zoomed steadily on the road, Dave glanced at Kenneth. “Do you want to make a brief visit to the headquarters? The moment they heard you were coming back, our friends expressed their eagerness to meet with you. Besides, the newcomers have heard about your stories and were impressed. They wish to see the real you too.”
