Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 710

The night was exceptionally dark.

Sitting in the front passenger seat, Kenneth gave Natasha a call but couldn't get through.

His expression grew increasingly tense as he tried again and again.

He knew Natasha like the back of his palm. Once she had set her mind on something, changing it would be hard and locating her would be even harder.

What was unacceptable to him was that she had left without saying goodbye again.

Moreover, the way she did it this time was more ludicrous than the last.

Dave, with one hand on the steering wheel as he drove, noticed Kenneth's gloominess. “I called her the moment the incident occurred but couldn't get through. Also, the surveillance feed confirmed that she left on foot. I've already sent men to search for her. Hopefully, we'll hear from them soon.”

Kenneth looked out the window. “Since she has taken such a drastic course of action, she must have been planning it for a while. Finding her is not going to be easy.”

“I'm sorry. I didn't expect her to do this. Going forward, I'll arrange for the entrances to be guarded, so history won't repeat itself.”

Upon hearing the words, the solemn-looking Spencer commented softly, “Considering their capabilities and meticulous planning, it's unlikely you can stop them.”

“Don't underestimate the men in DX. Even if they failed, they could obtain information in the shortest time, preventing the situation from spiraling out of control.”

Spencer looked in Dave's direction. “No offense intended. I was just wondering if there was a more efficient use of your resources.”

Dave replied, “No offense taken. We're all just being objective here.”

Just as Spencer was about to continue, Kenneth interjected, “Spencer is right. There's no way we can stop those who are determined to leave.”

Dave shifted his attention to Kenneth.

The latter was lying back in his seat with his hand holding his chin. Looking out the window with his black obsidian eyes, Kenneth was a sea of calm. Nonetheless, everyone could clearly feel the rage he was exuding.

Dave was cognizant of how headstrong Kenneth was. The more the latter appeared to be calm, the more turbulent his emotions were.

Dave's eyes narrowed. “Let's focus on what we're going to do tonight instead of the future. Should we stop our current operation?”

Kenneth looked just like a leopard, ready to pounce in the night.

A brief moment later, he replied, “No, we should continue.”

Dave didn't comment as he kept his hand on the wheel.

It was Spencer who asked, “Shouldn't we look for Nat first?”

Kenneth took a deep breath as if he had made a momentous decision. “In essence, her goal is the same as ours. Since she has decided to go on the search, it means that she is more confident than us. Besides, now that she has made her move, we shouldn't put her in danger unnecessarily. Two parties working toward the objective would naturally have a higher chance of success than one.”

Spencer narrowed his eyes at Kenneth, as he didn't find the latter's words to be convincing.

He had panicked when he first learned of Thalia's disappearance. Now that Natasha had walked into the lion's den, Spencer was surprised at how Kenneth could still analyze the situation with such a cool head.

As a fellow man, he wondered if Kenneth was just too Machiavellian or if he didn't care for Natasha as much as everyone thought he did.

“What do we do now?” Dave asked.

After a brief contemplation, Kenneth answered, “We'll split up. Both of you head to his hideout to get the antidote, while I look for Mike and corner Boss. If there are any changes to the plan, we can still afford a slight delay. Worse comes to worst, I'll just bring him back to DX.” Kenneth laid out his plan word by word. The burning rage in his eyes could send a chill down anyone's spine.

In that instant, Dave and Spencer turned to Kenneth and gave him a bewildered look.

Only he can come up with such an outrageous idea.
