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

Chapter 813 Lies

Anthony was stunned after listening to Kyle.

According to the latter, they could gather their men tomorrow and confront Vermillion Base the day after.

Although Kyle was rather impatient, Anthony had to admit he was quite touched.

Their interaction felt familiar, just like the time when they used to chat online. At the same time, it also filled Anthony with a sense of absolute security.

Even so, Anthony spoke up to halt him. “No. You shouldn't be impulsive.”

Kyle frowned at him. “Why?”

Anthony stared at him. “Although Vermillion Base is not as powerful as it used to be, we still shouldn't underestimate them. Moreover, things have just settled down, so now is not the time for a head-on confrontation.”

Kyle curled his lips into a smile after hearing that. “Do I seem like a dimwit who would clash head-on with them?” He arched his brows. A knowing look flashed across his handsome countenance as he continued, “I'll deploy some men over so you can command them and also to ensure your safety. That way, even if something happens, we can buy some time.”

“Uh, don't do that first. Allow me some time to think for now and let's discuss this matter later,” Anthony tried to stop him. Once he transfers his men over, they may come into conflict with DX Group. If that happens, this situation won't be as simple as facing Vermillion Base, as a chaotic fight involving all parties may happen. In that case, the circumstances will spiral out of control.

However, to Kyle, it seemed Anthony was just pretending to be courteous to him.

He furrowed his brows at Anthony. “What's the matter? Why are you acting distant from me? I admit I was a little agitated earlier, but that was because you hadn't told me what had happened, so I was clueless. We can let this matter slide now that we've laid it out.”

Anthony regarded Kyle with a troubled expression. “I'm not being polite. I—”

Anthony was momentarily at a loss for words. If I speak further, the secret will easily be exposed.

“What is it, then?” Kyle asked.

Anthony pursed his lips and looked at Thalia. Why is she quiet now? No one is stepping up to say something.

Sensing his gaze on her, Thalia chimed in, “Boss, since we've discussed this openly, you should respect Anthony's wish. He has always been crafty and creative. Perhaps he's harboring a different plan.”

Hearing that, Kyle shifted his attention to Anthony. “Regardless of how many ideas you have, we still need to rely on our fists to solve problems. This matter is inevitable.”

Anthony took the opportunity and said, “I know you're trying to help me. Don't worry. If I truly need assistance, I won't hesitate to ask for your help.”

Kyle sized him up as he knew Anthony was hiding something else from him. Still, he figured he shouldn't put too much pressure on Anthony. Ultimately, he nodded. “Fine. I shall respect your decision since you've said that. However, you must remember Darknetz has your back, no matter the circumstances. You must not hesitate to ask for my help or think you'll burden us.”

Anthony bobbed his head in response. “Okay. Rest assured. I won't.” If it weren't for Daddy and Darknetz's relationship, I wouldn't have wanted things to progress to this stage.

Taking in Anthony's reaction, Kyle let out a sigh of relief. Then, he appeared to have recalled something. “In that case, do you still want to do your own thing?”

Anthony fathomed if he persisted at that point, it would undoubtedly lead to another argument. After contemplating briefly, he said, “We still need to discover new talents. Even if we don't form our own team, these people can still be useful to Darknetz afterward, right?”

Kyle's eyes shone after he listened to Anthony.

“I knew I chose the right person.”

Anthony flashed a faint smile at Kyle too.

“Oh, by the way, speaking of which, I am curious about something. How did your mum end up having a feud with Vermillion Base?”

Kyle put forth another difficult question to answer.

While everyone ruminated on what to say, Anthony piped up, “Do you really need to specify a reason to make enemies with Vermillion Base?”

Kyle raised his brows. “You have a point.”

He added, “Speaking of this reminds me of something. Do you still remember Shadow Seeker I mentioned to you before?”

Thalia, who was feeling relieved after sensing that the atmosphere had eased, picked up the glass of water on the table and took a sip. However, when Kyle asked that question, she immediately spat out the water.

She coughed and ended up spewing the water all over the place.

Kyle instantly frowned in disdain. “What are you doing, Thalia?”

Thalia hastily replied, “I'm sorry. You guys carry on...”

He swept his eyes across her before looking away, shifting his attention back to Anthony.

Anthony shot a meaningful glance at Thalia. I knew it. One will always end up fabricating more lies to cover up the first lie. What should we do now? There's no other choice but to brace ourselves. At most, we'll stay silent or provide him with ambiguous responses, neither admitting nor denying anything.

With that thought in his mind, Anthony nodded. “I remember. Why?”

“They were also investigating Vermillion Base previously. If I'm not mistaken, that person must also have a grudge against Vermillion Base. I think you can consider joining forces with him or her,” Kyle suggested.

Anthony narrowed his eyes at him. “Are you planning to let me collaborate with them, or do you wish to seize this chance to convince that person to join Darknetz?”

“It would be best if we could kill two birds with one stone. However, Shadow Seeker... Mmm... this is quite challenging,” Kyle said.

“If you already know how difficult this is, why are you asking me to team up with them?”

“We have a common target, so an enemy's enemy is a friend,” Kyle uttered as he looked at him.

Anthony pursed his lips. “Fine, I got it. I'll try contacting Shadow Seeker after this.”

“There's one more thing—”

“What else?” Anthony asked. I don't think my little fragile heart can take much more of his endless questions. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

“I received news saying DX Group is also fighting Vermillion Base.”

Everyone around the table fell silent after hearing that.

Seeing no one had anything to say, Kyle continued, “Perhaps you don't know about DX Group. That's all right. I can give you a brief overview of this organization.”

“I do,” Anthony interrupted him.

Slightly taken aback, Kyle stared at him. “You know?”

“I've been doing research on Vermillion Base lately, so I also spent some time learning about DX Group,” Anthony explained.

Kyle nodded after hearing that. “It'll be easier for me to talk about this since you're familiar with DX Group. I wonder what Vermillion Base has done recently to have prompted so many people to target them at the same time.”

Anthony pursed his lips and pretended to clear his throat. Then, he looked at Kyle tentatively. “Kyle, do you think I can try contacting DX Group and join forces with them to oppose Vermillion Base? After all, DX Group is a local organization and has considerable capabilities. With me added to the team, our chances of winning may be even greater.”

Right after he finished his sentence, Kyle abruptly narrowed his eyes and stared intently at Anthony with a darkened gaze.
