Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 953

By the time Kenneth and Dave rushed over, Boss' convoy had already entered their Southern District base.

As they did not see any signs of a shootout, Dave led Kenneth to the other entrance.

When they arrived, someone was already there waiting for them.

“Dave!” The man exclaimed the moment he saw Dave, his face filled with disbelief and excitement. “You... Are you really still alive?”

After the explosion at Boss' house where they lay in ambush previously, everyone had been trying to find out if they were dead or alive. When Dave found out about that, he decided to play along and asked the people at the base to spread the news that he was no longer alive. That would make it easier for them to deal with Boss in the future. Hence, even the heads of the branches did not know what was going on.

Unexpectedly, that had also provided them with the opportunity to uncover a few traitors.

Dave looked at the man and nodded while replying, “I'm fine!”

“I'm relieved to see that you're all right. You probably didn't know, but the news of your death threw the base into complete disarray.”

It was not difficult for Dave to imagine the situation. Looking at the man, he replied, “It must have been tough on you.”

“It's not a problem at all. Thankfully, all of us kept the faith that you were fine and persevered, and indeed, you came back!” the man said excitedly.

Dave let out a slight smile and said, “Oh, let me do the introduction. This is J, one of the original founders of the main base!” Dave said in a succinct manner.

Taking a pause, he continued, “This is Hector, the person in charge of the Southern District.”

Hector's eyes lit up instantly when he heard that. With a look of admiration on his face, he said, “Boss J, I've heard so much about you from Dave. It's an honor to meet you at last!”

Kenneth nodded at the man and replied, “I've already retired, so you can just call me J!”

“No, no, you and Dave are both the soul of DX!” Hector said.

Kenneth twitched his mouth slightly when he heard that but did not reply.

Just then, Dave, who was standing at the side, spoke. “All right, now's not the time to talk about this. What's the situation inside right now?”

“Everything is under control!” Hector immediately replied in a serious tone.

“Are there any casualties?”

“A few of our men are injured, but it's nothing serious.”

Dave nodded upon hearing that. Then, he looked at the man and asked, “Who was the one who let the Vermillion Base in?”

At the mention of that, Hector frowned slightly and looked somewhat embarrassed. “It's someone from the logistics department.”

“Logistics department?” A mirthless smirk played at the corners of Dave's mouth before he said, “Who would have thought that one day, we would be bested by a someone from the logistics department!”

“It's my fault for not being careful enough.” Hector admitted his mistake at once.

“I'll deal with your lapse in duty later. The pressing matter at hand is to take these people down!” Dave said coldly.

Hector nodded and replied, “Do you have a plan?”

Dave turned toward him and asked, “Who is currently in charge of the people in the main hall?”

Hector paused for a moment before answering, “I'm not very sure, but the security department can see everything that's happing in the main hall right now.”

“Let's go,” Dave said in a low voice.

Hector immediately led the way upon hearing his words.

Even though they were at the Southern District base, the place was just as expansive as the main base. Besides, its interior was filled with winding paths and mechanisms. As such, outsiders would have a hard time navigating the area.

Kenneth and Dave swept their gazes across the vast interior space, sizing up the place.

As the base was established after Kenneth left, none of the people there recognized him.

While Kenneth surveyed the surroundings, Dave said, “What do you think? Not bad, right?”
