Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 717

At that moment, Boss turned his head around slowly. His bloodshot eyes first noticed the custom-made gun in Natasha's hand before focusing on her determined face. “You brought a gun to meet me? Are you planning to kill me?” Mockery laced Boss' voice as he asked that.

To his surprise, Natasha was completely unbothered. Instead, she aimed the gun straight at him. “The gun is just for self-defense. Didn't think that I'd use it so early,” Natasha stated calmly before raising her head and dropping her voice an octave lower. “Let them go, and you'll be fine.”

Boss scoffed and taunted, “And what if I refuse to do so?”

Natasha replied by wrapping her finger around the trigger.

“You want to kill me?” Boss eyed the gun cautiously. If it were anyone else behind the trigger, he might not be afraid. However, the one pointing the gun at him was Natasha, someone who would not hesitate to be vicious and ruthless to himself. Natasha's looks might deceive people into thinking that there were a lot of things she wouldn't dare to do, but Boss knew better.

“If the heavens have decided that we can't save them today, then the least I could do for them is to make sure you die with them.” Natasha's pink lips parted gently as she spoke, making her face even more gorgeous. On the contrary, the look in her eyes became even more murderous.

Boss was beginning to feel a bit uneasy. “If I die, you won't live either,” he stated the truth matter-of-factly as he kept his gaze on hers.

The latter simply stared back at him without flinching. “Not everyone places their own lives above everything else like you. It is true that I would like to leave here alive after meeting you, but I won't give up their lives in exchange. I'll say this again: let them go!” Natasha's voice was icy as she enunciated the last three words.

Upon seeing her indifference, Boss began to lose his temper. “Too bad. Once the timer is activated, it can't be stopped. But, if Kenneth goes there, he might make it in time to save them.” As he spoke, Boss turned his focus to Kenneth, who was standing nearby. “I heard he's skilled in deactivating bombs.”

Natasha's gaze hardened.

Choose one out of two he said. What a lie. He clearly wants Kenneth to die, and he plans to bury DX Group alongside Kenneth. Killing two birds with one stone, I see. He really thinks that he can reap the rewards with half the effort.

At that thought, Natasha curled her lips into a sneer. “All right then, if that's the case, then you can die alongside them!” As she spoke, Natasha wrapped her finger around the trigger and aimed the gun between Boss' eyes.

“Nat, wait!” Kenneth cried out to her just in time.

Natasha froze. If it were even a split second later, she would have pulled the trigger.

All at once, everyone turned their attention to Kenneth, including Boss.

Kenneth slowly walked toward Boss, all while the latter's men aimed their guns at him.

Nevertheless, Kenneth remained unbothered. He merely looked at Boss calmly. “Nat, you can't kill him. If you do, Dave and the others will really be in danger,” he told Natasha softly.

Natasha narrowed her eyes in puzzlement as she stared at Kenneth.

Even Boss was astounded as he stared at Kenneth. Quickly regaining his composure, he asked, “Kenneth, what do you mean by that? Aren't you being too presumptuous?”

Ignoring Boss, Kenneth kept his gaze on Natasha. “Trust me!”

Locking eyes with Kenneth, Natasha slowly nodded her head.

Anxiety crept into Boss' heart as he kept his gaze fixed on Kenneth. “Your friends are waiting for you, Kenneth. Your time is running out. Are you not going to rescue them?”

To his surprise, Kenneth remained calm. “Didn't you ask me to choose between the two options? No matter what I choose, it's not going to end up well for me. Since that's the case, why shouldn't I rescue those nearer?”
