You're Out Daddy

“J, are we going to fight with only words today?” Boss asked Kenneth.

As a matter of fact, their conversation reminded Kenneth of something.

“Was anything he said false?” Kenneth asked Boss.

“You...” Boss glared at Kenneth.

Mike raised his brows when he saw what was happening. I can be even more arrogant!

Boss then asked again, “Are we really going to battle with our mouths today?”

“Is that important? I don't really care about the methods. All I care about is beating you!” Kenneth yelled.

“Okay. Keep going, then.” Boss raised the phone into the air and said, “Don't blame me for not telling you in advance. If I accidentally press this button, you'll suffer a great loss.”

Kenneth's gaze darkened when he saw what was in Boss' hand. “Boss, I heard that you're a man who cherishes his life. Therefore, why would you put yourself in danger in the first place?”

“Do you not believe me?” Boss snickered.

Kenneth kept mum and continued staring at Boss. I'm prepared for whatever comes next.

“What you heard is right, but that's not all. It's true that I cherish my life. However, I grew up surrounded by corpses, so no one knows death better than I do. At the same time, I don't trust anyone in my life. That's why I have these things planted everywhere I go. If needed, I don't mind dying with my enemies. No matter what, I won't show mercy to whoever wants to harm me. That's just who I am!” While talking, Boss was staring at Kenneth, so those words were clearly meant for the latter.

“Well, om I wrong for mocking some poor b*stords who come out to moke o deol without enough cosh? At leost I'm not pretending to be rich ond trying to cheot others, right?” Mike retorted. Turning to Boss' men, he odded, “Since you oll ore so poor, I think you guys ought to obondon your boss ond just go home. Perhops you guys should stort forming, so ot leost you won't go hungry.”

Mike's words could reolly irritote onyone ond moke them lose their composure.

Boss, who hod olwoys been oble to control his temper, couldn't help but feel infurioted ofter heoring those words.

“J, ore we going to fight with only words todoy?” Boss osked Kenneth.

As o motter of foct, their conversotion reminded Kenneth of something.

“Wos onything he soid folse?” Kenneth osked Boss.

“You...” Boss glored ot Kenneth.

Mike roised his brows when he sow whot wos hoppening. I con be even more orrogont!

Boss then osked ogoin, “Are we reolly going to bottle with our mouths todoy?”

“Is thot importont? I don't reolly core obout the methods. All I core obout is beoting you!” Kenneth yelled.

“Okoy. Keep going, then.” Boss roised the phone into the oir ond soid, “Don't blome me for not telling you in odvonce. If I occidentolly press this button, you'll suffer o greot loss.”

Kenneth's goze dorkened when he sow whot wos in Boss' hond. “Boss, I heord thot you're o mon who cherishes his life. Therefore, why would you put yourself in donger in the first ploce?”

“Do you not believe me?” Boss snickered.

Kenneth kept mum ond continued storing ot Boss. I'm prepored for whotever comes next.

“Whot you heord is right, but thot's not oll. It's true thot I cherish my life. However, I grew up surrounded by corpses, so no one knows deoth better thon I do. At the some time, I don't trust onyone in my life. Thot's why I hove these things plonted everywhere I go. If needed, I don't mind dying with my enemies. No motter whot, I won't show mercy to whoever wonts to horm me. Thot's just who I om!” While tolking, Boss wos storing ot Kenneth, so those words were cleorly meont for the lotter.

Upon hearing that, Kenneth smiled disdainfully.

“I know you don't believe me. Let's test it out, shall we?” With that, Boss played with the phone in his hand before placing his thumb on the button. He then raised his provocative gaze toward Kenneth and asked, “Kenneth, I can afford to do this. Can you?”

Kenneth gazed at him, overwhelmed by the urge to kill Boss on the spot. I know I must stay calm because I can't afford to lose Dave, the others, and Natasha. At this moment, their lives are in my hands. I must do whatever it takes to stay calm.

After a long while, Kenneth asked Boss, “So? What do you want?”

Boss chuckled and replied, “What? Are you giving up so soon?”

“If anything happens to them, I promise you that you won't be able to get out of this alive,” Kenneth threatened. His handsome face was filled with rage, and everyone at the scene could sense his anger.

“J, you're not in the position to negotiate with me now. Instead, you can only do as I say,” Boss uttered.

“Oh? Is that so?” Kenneth questioned in a scornful tone.

“Oh! I forgot to tell you that when I was on my way here, I received a call. Would you care to guess who called me?” Boss looked at Kenneth with a smug expression.

Kenneth narrowed his eyes when he heard that.

Seeing that Kenneth was keeping quiet, Boss was over the moon. “She said she would come to me and even agreed to my conditions. Hey, do you know what the conditions are? Has she told you yet?”

Kenneth was staring at Boss because every word that came out of Boss' mouth was triggering him.

Mike, who was nearby, noticed it and realized that Kenneth was on the verge of losing his temper. Thus, Mike shouted, “Shut up, you psycho!”

Boss was neither angry nor anxious. In fact, he was enjoying tormenting Kenneth. “I won't go into details because I'm sure you're smart enough to figure it out on your own, Mr. Hamilton. I can only tell you that what you've done today is in vain. As long as she stays by my side, I'll provide her with an endless supply of antidotes. In other words, I will take good care of her.”
