Chapter 315
A few minutes later, Natasha finally stopped.
The computer screen, which had been showing a black background and green words, returned to its normal interface.
Natasha lazily leaned backward, seemingly lost in her thoughts.
Kenneth asked, “What's the matter?”
“I don't think they have any malicious intentions,” she said.
Fabian blurted out, “No malicious intentions? Why are they hacking into someone else's computer if they don't have any malicious intentions? There are plenty of corporate secrets on Mr. Hamilton’s computer!”
In contrast, Kenneth was calm as he asked Natasha, “Then what were they trying to do?”
Natasha tapped the computer screen and replied, “I intercepted something they tried to send over. I think this might be intended for you.”
Then, a huge white letter J appeared on the black screen. There was nothing else other than that.
“J?” Fabian furrowed his brows and turned toward Kenneth.
At that moment, Kenneth was clenching his teeth and staring at the letter on the screen as he narrowed his eyes.
“They haven't done anything destructive, and they hadn't retrieved any files from your computer. Perhaps they were only saying hello to you.” Natasha then turned to Kenneth and asked, “Does this letter mean anything special to you?”
“J... is me,” Kenneth whispered.
Natasha arched a brow. “A nickname?”
“In a way,” was Kenneth's vague answer.
Hearing that, Natasha turned to look at the computer again. “Then evidently, the other party is taunting and warning you.”
Despite her words, Kenneth seemed unfazed. “Do you know where they are?”
Natasha nodded. “Spaunia in the region of Zaewora.”
A glint flashed past Kenneth's eyes when he heard her response.
So it's them.
Right then, Natasha said, “It's the people from Vermillion Base, isn't it?”
Kenneth knew that he could not hide it from her, so he inclined his head and said, “From where they're at, it seems like it.”
Natasha pursed her lips. “So, do they now have a grudge against you?”
And it's because of me.
Kenneth closed his eyes for a moment before he curled his lips. “Do you think that they're doing this for revenge?” “This time, no. But that doesn't mean they won't do it in the future. They didn't succeed this time, so they're definitely going to attack again.” This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
“The ones who should be worried are them, not me,” Kenneth uttered.
After all, they were still in Glenport City.
Natasha tilted her head and contemplated for a moment. “Kenneth...”
“Nat, I know what you're worried about, but don't worry. If they’re doing this to taunt me, that means they can't do anything else but this.”
“They can hack into your company anytime.”
Kenneth chuckled. “Nat, aren’t you underestimating me a little too much? Do you really think that the technicians in my company are useless?”
“If they aren't, why did these people manage to hack into your computer?”
“That's because I don't have any defenses for this computer.”
Natasha frowned. “Then the files on your computer...” “If I dare to put these in the computer, that means they're not important. What's important is here!” With that, Kenneth tapped himself on the head.
Although Kenneth's words had convinced her that things were fine, she still could not help but feel worried.
Furthermore, she remembered that those people were bloodthirsty killers who thrived in destruction. How can Kenneth be a match for them?
When Kenneth saw that she was still worried, he continued, “Moreover, don't I have you? You won't sit on your hands if something happens to the company, right?” Kenneth asked with a smile.
He sounded confident about her lending him a hand.
For a moment, Natasha did not know what she should say to him.
A long while later, she told him, “I've set up defenses for your computer, so they won't hack into it anymore.”
Kenneth’s smile grew more evident when he heard that. “Okay, got it!”
“What are you smiling for?” “I just think that it feels good to be protected.” There was a tender look in Kenneth's eyes.
In contrast, Natasha wondered why he could still act like this despite the dire situation.
“I'll check your company's equipment and technology in a while to make sure nothing will actually happen,” Natasha went on.
Kenneth bobbed his head. “Okay!”
To Kenneth, what Natasha said went.
Even if she wanted to play around with the company, he would hand it over to her without a hint of hesitation, let alone the company's equipment.
By then, Fabian came back to his senses and asked in surprise, “M-Ms. Watson, what you did earlier, you...”
Before he could even finish his sentence, Kenneth said, “Fabian, head to the technical department and find out if they've been affected by this.”
“How can they be affected by this? Our technical team is one of the world's top...” Before he could finish his sentence, he saw the look in Kenneth's eyes and immediately clamped his mouth shut. “Maybe something did crop up. I'll go and check on them right away.” With that, he reluctantly went off.
Natasha blinked as she watched Fabian leave. She then blurted out, “Fabian seems miserable.”
Kenneth told her, “Fabian's a loyal fan of Shadow Seeker. He always saves recordings of Shadow Seeker's works, and he always rewatches them. I was really worried that he would find out when he watched you just now.”
Natasha stiffened. “Recordings?”
“That's right. He bought them for a huge sum of money too. Everything he earned in recent years has all been spent on these,” Kenneth continued.
His explanation rendered Natasha speechless.
It was then she recalled how excited Fabian had been when he mentioned Shadow Seeker to her the other time.
I see.
A laugh escaped Natasha. “Fabian’s your trusted subordinate. 1 don't mind him finding out about that.”
“But I do,” Kenneth refuted. He then placed his hands on her shoulders and enunciated, “Nat, having more and more people learn about your identity means that you'll be in more danger. That is a risk I don't want to take.”
There was nothing Natasha could say about his heartfelt words. Indeed, it was not bad to be cared for and protected by someone.
Hence, she nodded. “Okay!”
Kenneth smiled at her easy agreement. “All right, let's go now.”
“Where to?”
“Home!” At that, Kenneth held her hand and headed out.
Home...
Natasha was slightly stunned when she heard that.
When she raised her head to look at Kenneth's elegant side profile, a wave of warmth seeped into her heart.
Home. What a simple but beautiful word. But even a simple word like that is a luxury for me.
Natasha's gaze was inexplicably tender as she stared at Kenneth.
