You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth)

Chapter 970 Anthony Deploys Unmanned Aircrafts

Right then, Anthony and Cosmos were on their way.

Anthony's gaze was fixed on the laptop, his fingers flying across the keyboard. Just then, his wristwatch suddenly began to vibrate.

He lifted his wrist and glanced at his watch. When he saw the numbers on it, his brows abruptly knitted together.

“Pull over, Cosmos!” Anthony urged in a low voice all of a sudden.

Hearing that, Cosmos frowned. “Are you sure?”

“Yes, I'm sure. Quick!” Anthony asserted without taking his eyes off the laptop.

His voice was filled with urgency, and it was as though something of great importance was at stake.

Cosmos didn't ask any more questions, pulling over right away.

That place was desolate in itself, with hardly anyone passing by except for those from Vermillion Base.

But at that moment, they were only a few hundred meters away from Vermillion Base. In fact, he could already see its gates.

After the car had come to a stop, Anthony immediately keyed in a string of numbers into his phone. Then, his fingers moved back to the laptop and continued flying across the keyboard.

Despite having no idea what he was doing, Cosmos knew it must be something to do with Vermillion Base.

Hesitating for a moment, he took out his phone and called Dave.

As he made the call, his gaze was fixed in Anthony's direction. After exchanging a few words, he hung up the phone.

Looking at Anthony, he uttered, “Dave will be here soon, so don't worry too much.”

Nonetheless, Anthony scanned his eyes over the laptop screen, his eyes moving back and forth rapidly. Hearing that, he muttered, “There's no time left.”

“What do you mean?”

“They are already surrounded!”

“How could it be?” Cosmos questioned, disbelief written all over his face.

Anthony didn't elaborate further, merely staring at the laptop screen. With his brows furrowed in concentration, he looked strikingly similar to Kenneth.

At that exact moment, he tapped a few times on the keyboard. As he gazed at the screen, his eyes gradually lit up.

Utterly bewildered, Cosmos followed his line of sight.

On the screen were things he had never seen before. They appeared to be some highly advanced technology.

“What is this?” Cosmos asked.

“You'll find out soon enough!” With that said, Anthony gazed out into the distance as though waiting for something.

A few seconds later, a buzzing sound echoed from the sky. It sounded like something in a swarm, for the noise was quite loud.

Drawn by the sound, Cosmos curiously lifted his eyes and looked out. Due to the darkness of the night, he saw nothing even after scanning his eyes around. Just as he was about to withdraw his gaze, he suddenly noticed a dense group of objects in the distant sky seemingly flying in their direction.

Upon seeing that, Cosmos squinted. “What are those?”

Anthony said nothing, watching as the object flew toward him. A relieved smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.

Luckily, they're in time!

Cosmos squinted, carefully tracking the objects flying in the sky. As they gradually approached, his eyes widened in surprise. After a moment, he finally surmised with certainty, “They're... unmanned aircraft?”

“Yes!” Anthony affirmed in a low voice. His gaze was fixed in the same direction, hostility brimming in his eyes.

Seeing his calm demeanor, Cosmos looked at him. Just as he was going to say something, he suddenly narrowed his eyes upon meeting the boy's gaze. “You... Don't tell me you got them here?”

“If not?” Anthony retorted.

“Where did you get these from?” Cosmos asked.

“That's not important. What matters is there's hope for them!” While saying that, Anthony retracted his gaze away and refocused it on the laptop.

Cosmos did not take his eyes off the sky. At that moment, countless helicopters flew over from the distance. It was as though they had a specific destination in mind. After reaching a certain point,

they changed directions and headed straight toward Vermillion Base.

It was a grand sight that would leave one in awe.

After watching them for a while, Cosmos started the car and drove toward Vermillion Base.

No, I must go and take a look. Why is it that I find these helicopters somewhat familiar?

Meanwhile, in Vermillion Base, Boss swept his eyes over the rest of those present after Thalia had been taken away.

A smirk curved his lips. “See you in the next life, J!”

After he had finished speaking, the men around them raised their guns to open fire.

However, before they could make the first move, Kenneth retaliated by firing his gun and taking out the man beside him with a single shot.

When the man fell, Boss was stunned.

At that, Kenneth looked in his direction with eyes screwed shut. “Do you think I'm helpless just because of the situation? Even with my eyes closed, I can still kill you!” he retorted. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

“Is that so? Then, let's see who's faster—you or them,” Boss sneered.

As he spoke, he subtly gestured with his hand. Following that, his men began to open fire.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Countless gunshots rang out all around. Surprisingly, however, all who fell were those on his side.

He was slightly taken aback.

Just then, someone suddenly shouted, “Look! What are those?”

Upon hearing that, Boss looked up at the sky in the direction the man was pointing. At that moment, countless small planes could be seen flying in from the distance. It was as though each one had its own launcher on its underside, swiftly and accurately targeting them.

A series of whizzing sounds filled the air.

One by one, his men fell down.

Suddenly, someone cried out, “They're unmanned aircraft, Boss! Watch out!” At the same time, someone else rushed forward and used something to block their attack.

Boss merely stood there and stared up at the sky. His eyes brimmed with surprise, fury, and also envy.

Right then, the unmanned aircraft targeted those of Vermillion Base and the glaring light overhead precisely as though equipped with brains and eyes.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

All that could be heard was the sound of breaking glass.

As the light gradually dimmed, Kenneth opened his eyes.

By then, the rest of them also opened their eyes. At the sight of the attacking unmanned aircraft hovering overhead, Luke was stunned.

“This is just too spectacular, Boss,” he commented dazedly. Then, he turned to Kenneth. “Say, you all could have given me a heads-up about your plan. I really thought we were going to fight to the death!”

Kenneth remained silent. He lifted his gaze to the unmanned aircraft hovering overhead, the look in his eyes dark. Without having to think about it, he knew who was behind it.

However, the most important thing at hand was to kill Boss and level Vermillion Base.

I've got to wipe them all out.

At that thought, he withdrew his gaze and said coldly, “That's enough. Stop yakking here, and kill Boss first!”

Speaking of which, something came to Luke's mind, and he looked around. By then, those of Vermillion Base had already scattered everywhere.

At the same time, he seemed very much motivated. His eyes narrowed, and he looked at the men behind him. “Come, level this place with me!”

With that said, the men behind immediately followed his lead.

Kenneth watched them before sweeping his gaze across the space. He then decided to walk in a different direction.

If my memory serves, Boss went this way under his men's cover.

Following that thought, he headed in that direction with his gun in hand.
