Chapter 382
Noticing that his father was in a rush, Anthony called out to Kenneth at once.
“Daddy.”
Kenneth turned around and looked at Anthony's innocent face as he replied, “Is there anything else?”
“Are you going to look for Nat?” Anthony asked expectantly.
“Yes.” Kenneth nodded.
“Why don't you bring us along too?” Anthony asked.
Kenneth narrowed his eyes as he scrutinized both Anthony and Benjamin. Even though the boys did
not say much, they were clearly communicating the same message with the look in their eyes.
Kenneth had no idea what would happen during his trip there. However, he was certain that there were
potential dangers he might encounter. That was also the reason why Natasha had left without a word. If
that was what she had chosen to do, there was no way Kenneth would risk putting the kids in danger.
Anthony and Benjamin were indeed different from other kids, and Darknetz was also a powerful
organization. However, to Kenneth, it would always be his duty to protect the boys as their father. That
was the tacit understanding between him and Natasha.
At that thought, Kenneth glanced at the two of them and replied lowly, “No.”
“Why?” Anthony asked, frowning.
He had expected Kenneth to agree to let them tag along after knowing their identities. However, it was
just his wishful thinking.
Kenneth looked at the kids with a solemn expression and said, “Boys, I know that the two of you are
very worried about Nat, but do you know why she left without saying goodbye?”
“Because she was worried that we would follow her if we knew about it?” Anthony replied.
“Since you are aware of her intentions, you should know that I am on the same page as her on this. To
both Nat and I, your safety is our priority. As such, you should listen to Nat and stay here. I'll definitely
bring her back safely!” Kenneth said.
“We can protect ourselves!” Anthony argued. “Perhaps, we could even help you.”
Benjamin nodded in agreement before adding, “That's right. We also promise to take care of ourselves
and not get into any trouble.”
Seeing that the boys were not intending to give up, Kenneth furrowed his brows and said, “How are you
going to promise me that? Although you are members of Darknetz and are under its protection, it might
be difficult for Thalia to protect the two of you. Besides, you're just kids, after all. If you get captured by
the enemy, Nat and I would have no choice but to do as they say. As such, you need to listen to me
and stay here and wait for us to come back. I promise that I will bring Nat back safely!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBy then, it was obvious to the boys that Kenneth would not take them along no matter what they said. If
they tried harder, it would just seem as if they were immature and wasting his time.
At that thought, Anthony looked at his father with dim eyes and replied, “All right. We understand.”
At that thought, Anthony looked at his father with dim eyes and replied, “All right. We understand.”
Kenneth knew that they were bright kids and would understand the situation. With that thought, the
corner of the man's lips curled up into a smile.
“Wait for me to come back!” Kenneth said.
Anthony and Benjamin nodded.
Even though Kenneth was reluctant to leave the boys and still had many unanswered questions, he
knew that it was time for him to go.
As such, he turned to look at Fabian, who had been spacing out, and said, “Let's go.”
Fabian snapped out of his daze at once and followed closely behind Kenneth.
After Kenneth drove away in his car, the group of men who had come before him also departed.
Moments later, only Thalia, Anthony, and Benjamin were left standing there.
Thalia looked at the boys and asked, “So, do you have any other plans?”
When Anthony heard that, his eyes suddenly lit up as he replied, “Of course.”
Thalia simply stared at the boy.
“We're sticking to the original plan,” Anthony continued.
“Does that mean you're still going?”
“Of course!” Anthony replied.
“But didn't you hear what Kenneth said just now? Besides, haven't you agreed as well?”
“Yeah, I heard what he said, but I didn't agree to it!” Anthony shrugged and answered.
Thalia was at a loss for words when she heard that.
Indeed, she did not remember him agreeing.
“You're really sneaky.” Thalia looked at the boy and said.
Anthony looked toward Benjamin and asked, “What do you say, Benjamin?”
“Let's go!” Benjamin replied without hesitation.
The brothers got into the car after the decision was made.
Thalia looked at the two boys and was utterly speechless. She could hardly believe that she could not
even handle two kids.
After watching the boys get into the car, Thalia turned to look at everything that had been destroyed. All
that money, down the drain!
Anthony and Benjamin were sitting obediently in the car when Thalia got in.
After settling down, the woman picked up her phone and called someone. The call got through after
just a few seconds.
“Hello, who's this?”
“It's me!” Thalia answered.
There was a brief moment of silence on the other end of the phone. Obviously, the other party had
recognized Thalia's voice.
“Umm, hi, Ms. Jacoway. Have you changed your number?”
Sneering, Thalia replied, “I was worried that you wouldn't dare to pick up my call if you knew it was me.
That's why I called using a different number.”
“You must be joking, Ms. Jacoway. Why would I do that? It's really late now though. Is there anything I
can help you with?”
Thalia let out a scoff before replying in a chilling voice, “It's nothing important. I just called to tell you
that you should bring your bodyguards along whenever you go out. It's also advisable for you to get
someone to watch over you while you sleep. That's because I'm going to blow your brains out after I
finish settling some matters. No one has ever dared to betray me. Just you wait!” After saying that, the
woman hung up without waiting for the other party to reply.
That was the first time Anthony and Benjamin had seen Thalia this furious.
Then again, it was natural for her to be enraged at being betrayed at such a crucial moment. If it had
happened during some other transaction, she could have died.
As such, the boys completely understood the way she reacted.
Ultimately, there was nothing they could do when faced with a more formidable opponent.
Thalia felt better after venting, and immediately after she hung up, she floored the accelerator. The car
sped off.
Anthony checked the time and asked, “Will we make it in time?”
“If Kenneth can make it in time, we will be able to as well,” Thalia replied grimly while keeping her eyes
on the road.
Given how confident the woman sounded, Anthony knew that they would definitely have no problem
reaching in time.
As such, he shut his eyes and drifted off to sleep.
After all, sleep was important for a boy who was still growing.
Although Anthony did not take after Natasha in most aspects, the two of them were exactly the same
when it came to their sleeping habits. Both of them could sleep whenever and wherever.
Meanwhile, Benjamin looked at Thalia and said after a moment of thought, “If we manage to resolve
this successfully, I'll follow you back to Darknetz headquarters.”
Thalia froze for a moment before asking, “What's with the sudden decision?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAn unfathomable glint flashed across Benjamin's eyes before he replied, “Daddy's right. No matter how
extraordinary we are, we are still kids in the end and are not as strong as the others. As such, I need to
become stronger in order to protect my loved ones,” the boy replied resolutely.
A pleased smile appeared on Thalia's face as she looked at the boy through the rearview mirror. With
one hand on the steering wheel, she said, “Benjamin, trust me. You're destined to achieve great things.
I have always been a good judge of people!”
“You must be joking, Ms. Jocowoy. Why would I do thot? It's reolly lote now though. Is there onything I
con help you with?”
Tholio let out o scoff before replying in o chilling voice, “It's nothing importont. I just colled to tell you
thot you should bring your bodyguords olong whenever you go out. It's olso odvisoble for you to get
someone to wotch over you while you sleep. Thot's becouse I'm going to blow your broins out ofter I
finish settling some motters. No one hos ever dored to betroy me. Just you woit!” After soying thot, the
womon hung up without woiting for the other porty to reply.
Thot wos the first time Anthony ond Benjomin hod seen Tholio this furious.
Then ogoin, it wos noturol for her to be enroged ot being betroyed ot such o cruciol moment. If it hod
hoppened during some other tronsoction, she could hove died.
As such, the boys completely understood the woy she reocted.
Ultimotely, there wos nothing they could do when foced with o more formidoble opponent.
Tholio felt better ofter venting, ond immediotely ofter she hung up, she floored the occelerotor. The cor
sped off.
Anthony checked the time ond osked, “Will we moke it in time?”
“If Kenneth con moke it in time, we will be oble to os well,” Tholio replied grimly while keeping her eyes
on the rood.
Given how confident the womon sounded, Anthony knew thot they would definitely hove no problem
reoching in time.
As such, he shut his eyes ond drifted off to sleep.
After oll, sleep wos importont for o boy who wos still growing.
Although Anthony did not toke ofter Notosho in most ospects, the two of them were exoctly the some
when it come to their sleeping hobits. Both of them could sleep whenever ond wherever.
Meonwhile, Benjomin looked ot Tholio ond soid ofter o moment of thought, “If we monoge to resolve
this successfully, I'll follow you bock to Dorknetz heodquorters.”
Tholio froze for o moment before osking, “Whot's with the sudden decision?”
An unfothomoble glint floshed ocross Benjomin's eyes before he replied, “Doddy's right. No motter how
extroordinory we ore, we ore still kids in the end ond ore not os strong os the others. As such, I need to
become stronger in order to protect my loved ones,” the boy replied resolutely.
A pleosed smile oppeored on Tholio's foce os she looked ot the boy through the reorview mirror. With
one hond on the steering wheel, she soid, “Benjomin, trust me. You're destined to ochieve greot things.
I hove olwoys been o good judge of people!”
