Chapter 722 History Cannot Be Allowed To Repeat Itself
Kenneth rushed over to Boss' house as fast as he could.
The moment his car screeched to a halt, he could see the ground littered with bodies of those from Vermillion Base.
It wasn't hard to see whose handiwork it was.
Thereafter, Kenneth quickly followed the trail.
The second floor that was blown apart when he escaped back then had now been repaired. The smell of wet cement could still be detected in the air.
The moment Kenneth arrived at the door and prepared to enter, he heard a sudden noise behind him. Turning around, he saw the men who had newly arrived aiming their guns at him.
Without a moment's delay, he dived for cover.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Multiple gunshots rang out, followed by the thud of bullets peppering the wall he was hiding behind.
“Search inside and kill them all,” a voice barked outside.
With his body hugging the wall, Kenneth broke into a smirk at the sound of the voice.

He could sense Boss' indignance. Despite the terrible loss he had suffered, the latter insisted on making sure all of them were eliminated.
The next moment, Kenneth gave his surroundings a quick scan. When he saw some items on the table beside him, he grabbed all of them and hurled them outside.
In response, the men outside began firing indiscriminately.
Gun in hand, Kenneth made a split-second decision the moment the gunshots ended. He then took aim and fired a single shot each at the gunmen.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen a few of them collapsed onto the ground, the rest scattered to find cover.
Kenneth had no desire to draw out the battle, for he knew that the priority was locating Dave and the others. Holstering his gun, he walked upstairs right away.
Nevertheless, he had barely taken two steps when he saw the men outside continue their pursuit.
Narrowing his eyes, Kenneth pondered a moment before an idea popped into his head. The very next second, he burst into a sprint toward the second floor.
This is the exact same position and place as last time.
Staring at the tightly closed door, Kenneth approached it to examine its lock. The facial recognition mechanism had now been replaced by one that required a fingerprint and code to unlock.
Kenneth frowned in response. I could use Natasha or Anthony's expertise in a time like this. This wouldn't stop them at all.

Kenneth walked to the door and pounded on it.
“Dave, Spencer!” he yelled.
An anxious voice suddenly rang out. “Kenneth? Is that you, Kenneth?”
Kenneth's fears were eased when he heard an answer. He shouted through the door, “It's me. Are you guys all right?”
“We're fine. It's just that Spencer didn't find the antidote after rummaging through the place,” Dave replied.
“Forget about it for now. Come out first,” Kenneth ordered.
“The problem is we can't!”
“What are you talking about?”
“The door has a self-destruct mechanism. If we try to break it by force, we would trigger it and be annihilated here.”
Kenneth's eyes darkened at the news.
It seems that Boss still has a trick or two up his sleeve. It does make sense, though. Ever since I left the last time, Boss was certain that I would return for the antidote. Moreover, he set all this up just for me... Unexpectedly, Natasha's sudden departure foiled my original plan. Otherwise, I would be the one inside right now!
At that moment, Kenneth stared intently at the door again. He couldn't imagine how he was going to forgive himself if Dave and Spencer were killed on his account.
Clenching his fists, he instructed, “Wait for me. I'll definitely figure out a way to rescue you.” With a grim look in his eyes, Kenneth swiftly scanned his surroundings.
As long as the system can be set up, there must be a way to turn it off. I cannot allow history to repeat itself!
While Kenneth was busy looking for clues, a beeping sound suddenly rang out. Thereafter, Luke yelled in panic, “Dave, that thing has suddenly begun a countdown!”
Furrowing his brows, Kenneth was lost in thought when he heard a banging on the door. Dave's voice subsequently rang out. “Kenneth, get away from here! Now!”
“What's going on?” Kenneth asked.
“The countdown suddenly started. Leave now, as it's going to blow!” Dave barked.
A frosty look quickly descended upon Kenneth's eyes. “How did this happen?”
“Kenneth, get out now!” Dave thundered again.
At that moment, it suddenly dawned upon Kenneth why the men outside didn't dare enter and kept circling the building.

Holding that thought, Kenneth shouted, “Dave, wait for me. I won't leave you guys behind!”
Thereafter, Kenneth ran to another corner and looked down from the second-floor window. There, he could still see his pursuers lingering outside.
Without a second thought, Kenneth smashed the window and leaped through it.
When the gunmen looked up, they saw Kenneth crashing down on one of their companions before rolling on the ground.
The other man fired at him without delay, but Kenneth managed to use one of their own as a shield.
Bang! Bang!
The moment the gunman ran out of bullets, Kenneth shoved his meatshield away and raised his gun to shoot the gunman's arm.
When the gunman suddenly dropped something in his hand, Kenneth lunged forward and quickly subdued him.
As the gunman stared at Kenneth, fear began to fill his eyes. “Mercy, have mercy.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKenneth glared at him. “What did you just do?”
“I-I didn't do anything,” the gunman replied.
“There's no point in keeping you alive if you lie.” Flashing an insidious smile, Kenneth cocked his gun.
Terrified by the turn of events, the man relented. “I'll talk, I'll talk!”
Kenneth pointed the barrel of his gun between the man's eyes. “Go on.”
The gunman spoke hesitantly. “Boss ordered us to destroy the security mechanism by cutting one of its wires.”
It's just as I expected!
“Where are the wires?” Kenneth demanded.
“At the back.”
“Take me there.”
However, the man gave Kenneth a reluctant look. “This place is going to blow. We have to leave now.”
Harboring no intention to leave, Kenneth nudged his gun against the man's head. “Do you think you'll get to leave if you don't take me there?”
The man had no choice but to give in.
“Lead the way,” Kenneth instructed.
The man did as he was told as Kenneth followed closely behind.

This time, the man moved quickly without the need to be told.
After traversing through the building, they arrived at a small room at the back that was two meters tall. It looked like a storeroom of some sort.
“The wire box is right inside,” the man explained.
Not wanting to waste any time, Kenneth grabbed the man by the collar and shoved him in.
“There's not enough time,” the man protested in a quivering voice.
As if he didn't hear the warning, Kenneth scrutinized the surroundings quickly. There was a table in the room, and on top of it was a black box. There were wires jutting out of it, with one of them looking as if it had been cut.
