Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 568

“Do you wish it was him?” Dave asked.

“Stop beating around the bush,” Kenneth exclaimed, seemingly running out of patience.

“It wasn't him,” Dave revealed.

“It wasn't him?” Kenneth stared at Dave, slightly stunned. But for some reason, he also felt a slight relief.

“It was one of our old enemies. Not sure how they were able to find us here, though.” To prove his words, Dave handed the surveillance footage to Kenneth.

Kenneth finally heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the person in the footage.

Thank goodness, it's not because of me.

Nonetheless, his brows were still furrowed tightly.

“Are you relieved now?” Dave fixed his gaze on Kenneth and asked.

“Relieved? No, we'll make them pay for what they did!” Kenneth glowered as a malicious glint appeared in his gaze.

“You're still as vindictive as before,” Dave blurted, staring at Kenneth.

“I'm sure you know where their bases are,” Kenneth said with a low voice.

“Of course I do.”

“Then stop wasting time. Let's go!” With that, Kenneth turned and darted toward his car.

Dave could tell that Kenneth was in a bad mood that day.

“Then, I'll leave this place to you.” Dave turned to Mike.

“D-Dave...” Before Mike could say anything, Dave had turned and left.

Looking at their retreating figures, Mike furrowed his brows.

He wanted to go with them, too.

In the car, Dave held the steering wheel with one hand and teased, “You seem as though your desires were not fulfilled.”

Shooting a glance at Dave, Kenneth grumbled, “If you know, then be quiet.”

Dave raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked, “That had nothing to do with me, right?”

“You're overthinking things,” Kenneth muttered under his breath. He felt defeated every time he thought of how Natasha just fell asleep.

Dave's lips curled into a smile, and he resisted asking anything else. After pondering for a moment, he voiced, “Kenneth, let the past be the past.”

Kenneth's eyes narrowed at Dave's words. He turned to look out of the window.

“To be honest, when we were on our way here, I knew it couldn't have been Vermillion Base. He wouldn't have fought back so soon. But I was also worried that if it were indeed his doing, it would cross your bottom line again,” Dave added.

Kenneth remained silent and continued staring out the window as though he had not heard anything. However, his clenched jaw sold him out.

“What happened to Zavier was not your fault. No one blames you for what happened, and you don't have to put all the blame on yourself. If Zavier was still alive, I'm sure he wouldn't have blamed you too.”

“Dave!” Kenneth turned his head and cut Dave off. After deliberating for a long while, he murmured, “I don't want to talk about this anymore.”

It was obvious that he still hadn't gotten over what had happened.

Without a word, Dave nodded in response.

Kenneth shifted his gaze back to the window as the car sped down the road, and memories from the past flooded his mind.

Zavier was also one of the founders of DX Group, along with Kenneth and Dave.

Kenneth's eyes reddened as scenes from the past flashed across his mind.

Meanwhile, at Vermillion Base, Boss stared at the message carved on the naked man's body as he clenched his fist tightly.

The naked man's face was terribly pale from fright. He could tell the message on his body was an insulting one just by looking at Boss' expression.
