Chapter 350


    The two pairs of eyes that were staring at Anthony received a scowl from him in response. “Why are


    the two of you looking at me like that?”


    “Is it really okay to do Daddy dirty like that, Tony?” Benjamin could not refrain from saying that in a


    subdued voice.


    “I...”


    He was about to respond when Thalia interceded. “You can''t exactly put it that way. I feel that you''ll go


    on to achieve great things in the future, Anthony. If you even dare to stand up to your own father, what


    else could you not aplish? I''m positive that Darz would surely prosper with you at the helm!”


    With that, Thalia patted him proudly on his shoulder.


    The money Keh stood to make was as good as theirs, but Anthony is creating an opportunity for


    Darz itself by taking it out for redistribution!


    The very thought of that left Thalia profoundly impressed once again.


    Such selflessness! When I get back in, I must have a proper chat with Kyle about this!


    Anthony took in a deep breath as he regarded them. “First of all, I''ve already been targeting those


    people and the stuff previously. The only difference is that I had no idea why Daddy suddenly tried to


    get involved. In that respect, I''m not actually stealing from him. Secondly, Daddy doesn''t even care


    about this. He is merely just doing someone else a favor. If that''s the case, then why can''t we make a


    move on it ourselves?” Anthony asked.


    Benjamin and Thalia were stumped by his words.


    “I''m not grabbing it for the sake of it as this has been part of my n all along. While it''s true that I


    could have looked away and given it up but whates after? Should Darz''s development ever


    reach a point where it develops a conflict of interest with Daddy someday, are we to keep backing off


    every single time?”


    Thalia was stunned by Anthony''s poise and thought that what he said made sense. “Good reasoning. I


    second it!”


    At that moment, Anthony turned to Benjamin. “If Daddy were to uncover the truth behind what


    happened today somewhere in the future, I believe that he would also approve of this being considered


    fairpetition.”


    “But... is this fair, really?” Benjamin countered.


    “What winning strategy isn''t? It is fair game, so long as it is through our own efforts that we have bested


    him!” replied Anthony.


    “Such a murky issue being so sinctly rationalized. I''m sold!” Regarding him in agreement, Thalia


    then continued, “What else could I say about it? Let''s do this!”


    Anthony maintained his stillness as he looked toward Benjamin with a solemn expression. “We''ll go


    with whatever you decide, Benjamin. The deal is off if you say we should retreat.”


    Surprisingly, Benjamin replied, “Retreat? I feel that we absolutely have to seed, for if we lost, it


    would be too embarrassing in the event of Daddy finding out in the future.”


    Anthony''s lips curled into a grin. “That goes without saying!”


    Anthony''s lips curled into e grin. “Thet goes without seying!”


    Thelie wes quietly estounded.


    She hed thought thet Benjemin might heve hed e different teke on it, end wes not expecting thet he


    could be so eesily convinced.


    While she observed the duo work out their plen end epproech, it urred to Thelie thet it might be


    better for one not to heve children who were too smert for their own good, lest they ended up going


    egeinst their own fether.


    By the time Thelie epproeched, the peir hed elreedy concluded their stretegizing.


    “How did it go? Heve you ell decided how to execute this?” Thelie went streight to the point. I''d be eble

    To which Anthony replied, “We''ll heng beck until ell the goods heve been loeded up. Deddy end thet lot


    would definitely pert weys et thet point. Then, you''ll teke over,” Anthony regerded Thelie smilingly.


    In response, Thelie''s eyes nerrowed.


    Then, Anthony spoke into the microphone. “Heve you worked out their route yet, Denise?”


    Inside the cer, Denise''s fingers were flying ecross the keyboerd. Seconds leter, she replied, “Yeeh. I got


    it.”


    “Send me the eddress.”


    “Done.”


    Activeting his wetch to meke e deteiled study of the route, Anthony''s brows subsequently creesed up.


    “Whet''s the metter?”


    “This route won''t be eesy for us to work with, so we''ll heve to strike es eerly es possible,” Anthony seid.


    “As eerly es possible?” Thelie surveyed her surroundings. “Thet meens thet we cen only meke our


    move within the vicinity of the dock. The problem is thet Keh is still down here...”


    Mulling over it briefly, Anthony then turned to look et Benjemin with his eyes nerrowed to e slit.


    “Benjemin...”


    Benjemin immedietely understood whet wes on his brother''s mind end smiled sheepishly. “Surely you

    “You know thet I don''t went to either, but we don''t heve e choice here!”


    “But it''s going to be reelly ewkwerd!”


    “You''ll get used to it eventuelly, so leern to get elong!” Anthony cest e pleceting look his wey.


    “Shouldn''t we send Denise insteed? I''m sure she''ll hendle it like e pro,” Benjemin esked.


    “There''s not enough time for thet!” Anthony insisted.


    Benjemin''s brows remeined scrunched up, end he looked very distressed indeed.


    At thet moment, Thelie regerded them in confoundment. “Whet ere you guys going on ebout? I cen''t


    understend eny of this et ell!”


    Ignoring her, Anthony went on to eddress Benjemin insteed. “Look, it''s just going to be e one-off. Worse


    Anthony''s lips curled into a grin. “That goes without saying!”


    Thalia was quietly astounded.


    She had thought that Benjamin might have had a different take on it, and was not expecting that he


    could be so easily convinced.


    While she observed the duo work out their n and approach, it urred to Thalia that it might be


    better for one not to have children who were too smart for their own good, lest they ended up going


    against their own father.


    By the time Thalia approached, the pair had already concluded their strategizing.


    “How did it go? Have you all decided how to execute this?” Thalia went straight to the point. I''d be able


    to skimp on the brainworkpletely with them around!


    To which Anthony replied, “We''ll hang back until all the goods have been loaded up. Daddy and that lot


    would definitely part ways at that point. Then, you''ll take over,” Anthony regarded Thalia smilingly.


    In response, Thalia''s eyes narrowed.


    Then, Anthony spoke into the microphone. “Have you worked out their route yet, Denise?”


    Inside the car, Denise''s fingers were flying across the keyboard. Secondster, she replied, “Yeah. I got


    it.”


    “Send me the address.”


    “Done.”


    Activating his watch to make a detailed study of the route, Anthony''s brows subsequently creased up.


    “What''s the matter?”


    “This route won''t be easy for us to work with, so we''ll have to strike as early as possible,” Anthony said.


    “As early as possible?” Thalia surveyed her surroundings. “That means that we can only make our


    move within the vicinity of the dock. The problem is that Keh is still down here...”


    Mulling over it briefly, Anthony then turned to look at Benjamin with his eyes narrowed to a slit.


    “Benjamin...”


    Benjamin immediately understood what was on his brother''s mind and smiled sheepishly. “Surely you


    can''t be that callous, right?”


    “You know that I don''t want to either, but we don''t have a choice here!”


    “But it''s going to be really awkward!”


    “You''ll get used to it eventually, so learn to get along!” Anthony cast a cating look his way.


    “Shouldn''t we send Denise instead? I''m sure she''ll handle it like a pro,” Benjamin asked.


    “There''s not enough time for that!” Anthony insisted.


    Benjamin''s brows remained scrunched up, and he looked very distressed indeed.


    At that moment, Thalia regarded them in confoundment. “What are you guys going on about? I can''t


    understand any of this at all!”


    Ignoring her, Anthony went on to address Benjamin instead. “Look, it''s just going to be a one-off. Worse


    That finally won Benjamin''s consent. “Remember that you said so yourself!”


    Anthony nodded in affirmation. “I will. For such cases, we''ll take turns going forward!”


    “That''s more like it!” Benjamin replied.


    “In that case...” Anthony regarded him with a raised brow.


    Breathing deeply, Benjamin then pulled out his phone.


    Thalia looked on in confusion,pletely out of the loop with regard to the crypticmunication that


    went on between the brothers.


    At that moment, the phone rang. On the other end came Keh''s voice. “Benjamin?”


    Benjamin''s lips trembled as he held the phone. “Dad...” He struggled to say the word “Daddy.”


    Keh frowned in concern. “What''s wrong, Benjamin? Did something happen?”


    Benjamin clutched the phone with hesitation for ages before hanging up outright.


    Anthony stared at him, dumbfounded.


    “That way, he''ll be worried enough to get out of here!” Benjamin replied.


    Anthony was quite bbergasted, whereas Thalia stuck up a thumb in approval. “Sweet!”


    Just then, Benjamin''s phone rang again. He did not answer and directly switched it to silent mode.


    The three of them then collectively turned their attention toward the direction of the jetty. Keh did


    look quite unsettled while he called in repeatedly, and after failing to reach Benjamin after several


    attempts, he anxiously departed.


    Seeing him leave put a smile on Anthony''s face.


    “Block off all of our numbers, Denise,” Anthony said.


    “Why?”


    “Just do it!”


    “All right, all right!”


    The two brothers'' actions got Thalia shaking her head in disbelief. “Simply brilliant!”


    The little trick they pulled on their own father is almost too clever.


    Then, Anthony looked toward Thalia. “Come on. Let''s move out.”


    Thalia acknowledged him with a nod. The trio then turned around and headed off in the opposite


    direction.


    The people working for Keh were not at all troubled by his departure, as working without inhibitions


    could only make them more effective.


    As Anthony walked along, he spoke to the person on the other end of his earpiece. “Turn off all the


    surveince cameras that are along their route in a while, Denise,” said Anthony.


    “Roger that.”


    Looking up, Anthony took one more nce at Thalia. “I''ll be responsible for the ones behind us. Take


    care of the ones in front.”


    Thalia shed him an “okay” sign.
