Chapter 392
After pondering for a moment, Anthony said, “Daddy, actually...”
“Actually what?” Keh asked.
The words were on the brink of rolling off his tongue, but Anthony swallowed them back at the veryst
moment.
After a brief hesitation, he answered, “It''s nothing. When you find Nat ande home, we''ll talk about
it in more detail. For now, I promise you that Darz will not take any action.”
Keh digested his words before grunting in acknowledgment. “All right.”
“In that case, Daddy, please be careful.”
“You, too, should behave. Take good care of Great-grandpa and Gramps,” Keh reminded.
“I know!”
When Anthony finally ended the call, Thalia and Benjamin stared at him.
“Has Daddy begun to suspect us?” Benjamin asked.
“I don''t know.” Anthony shook his head. “It feels as if he''s threatening me or perhaps trying to probe for
more information. It''s really hard to guess what''s going through his mind.”
Lazing on the couch, Thalia grumbled when she heard their exchange, “Isn''t that typical of members of
the Hamilton family? All of you have plenty of agendas and speak in riddles. That''s why you''re so hard
to understand!”
Anthony gave her the side-eye. “Isn''t this all your doing? If only you had made things clear earlier, I
wouldn''t have needed to hack into Daddy''s system and subsequently be detected.”
“That''s why you shouldn''t act impulsively the next time,” Thalia asserted.
“In that case, the next time you tell us something, please do so in one shot.”
Thalia, with a defiant cock of her brow, smiled faintly at him. “I''ll try.”
Watching them banter, Benjamin interrupted, “I heard Daddy mention Anonymous on the phone. How
did he know it was Anonymous? And from where did he hear that Anonymous had joined Darz?”
“Didn''t Thalia mention just now that the top twenty hackers had joined DX? Therefore, it''s not a surprise
that someone recognized my methods. Besides, considering how close Kyle and I are, it''s just a matter
of time before rumors begin to spread like wildfire,” Anthony exined.
“Are you saying that Daddy has begun to suspect you?” Benjamin rified.
“Not necessarily. He might just be using me to convey a message to Darz instead of knowing that it
was me.”
Benjamin nodded in acknowledgment. “You have a point. Nheless, I don''t think we can hide this
matter for much longer.”
“That''s right. If Daddy wasn''t busy trying to locate Nat, he would already have found out. We just got
lucky, and that''s how we managed to follow him here. As long as we can find Nat, I don''t mind telling
him the truth at all,” Anthony remarked.
Benjamin nodded in agreement.
At that moment, Thalia casually added, “By then, you will have no other choice than to speak candidly.
Otherwise, how are you going to join me at Darz?”
Upon hearing the topic, Anthony looked at her, his eyes filled with resignation. “Is it necessary to speak
so candidly?”
Thalia grinned mischievously. “I just wanted to remind you. That''s all.”
She had barely finished when she popped a cherry into her mouth.
Hmm, it''s really sweet!

Meanwhile, in an open-air restaurant, Keh had just returned after ending his call.
There, he saw Dave talking to a woman.
The moment he joined them, the woman quickly left.
Keh was surprised. “Why did she leave so fast? I don''t mind giving up my spot.”
“Friends are always more important than women,” Dave quipped.
Chuckling, Keh scanned the surroundings. “What made you decide toe here?”
“Doesn''t it look familiar?” Dave asked.
Now that he had mentioned it, Keh did find the ce familiar.
“This was where we got to know each other after fighting!” Dave reminded.
After giving the ce a closer look, Keh reconfirmed, “Are you saying that this used to be Bar
Street?”
Dave nodded. “Hasn''t it changed a lot?”
“It''s no longer recognizable,” Kehmented.
“Indeed. It has gone through significant changes over the years, having evolved from a dpidated
street littered with bars into one that''s filled with chic restaurants. It''s undeniable that its development
was swift,” Dave borated.
Observing the surroundings, Keh could feel the memories flooding back into him.
The shbacks he experienced elicited a smile from his face. He couldn''t deny that he had been living
on the knife''s edge back then. Despite the dangerous circumstances, it was a lot more exciting than his
current life.
Back in the day, they lived and died by the sword, fighting with real weapons. That was in contrast to
the current age, which was dominated by technology. Nowadays, battles were fought without smoke or
bloodshed.
“Thinking about it makes it feel like it was just yesterday,” Dave remarked, staring into the horizon.
Keh concurred with a smile, “Indeed.”
Subsequently, Dave looked at him. “Do you have any regrets?”
Keh cracked a smile at the thought as he, too, gazed out at the horizon.
From the open-air balcony, he could see the sky dotted with stars.
A long while passed before he finally spoke. “There''s no such thing as regrets. Everything we have
been through is very much part of living.”
Dave wasn''t sure if Keh meant what he said. He figured that just part of it was true.
Regrets might also be a form of blessing too.
Regrets might also be a form of blessing too.
He got to his feet and patted Keh on the back. “I''m heading to the men''s.” With that, he left.
In the meantime, Keh picked up the beer on the table and took a mouthful. His heart was filled with
mixed emotions as he stared nkly into space.
Meanwhile, when Dave came out of the restroom, he saw a young child running around the restaurant
before falling onto the ground and bursting into tears.
At the same moment, ady walked over to help the boy up.
“Are you all right?” she asked.
Throwing her a nce, the boy said something inaudible before leaving the scene.
Subsequently, a smile shed across the woman''s face as she gradually stood back up.
The moment she turned around, Dave was stunned by the sight of her.
Even though he was born of mixed blood, he appreciated the beauty ofdies from Aploth.
As for thedy in front of him, she looked so stunning that he was floored by her beauty.
Her slender figure, wless skin, and silky-smooth hair that draped over her shoulders made her look
aloof and mesmerizing at the same time.
Just by standing there, she was a sight to behold.
When thedy saw how he was brazenly ogling her, a frosty glint shed across her exquisite-looking
eyes.
After a fleeting moment of eye contact, she got up and left without saying a word.
It wasn''t until she left that the smitten Dave regained his senses. By the time he took another look, she
was nowhere to be seen.
Furrowing his brows, he curled his lips into a mischievous grin before returning to his table.
Keh, who was almost done with his drink, asked, “What took you so long?”
Dave eximed, “I saw a beauty just now!”
“You seem to have quite the luck with thedies tonight.”
“No, no, no. This is different. She''s not like anyone else,” Dave exined.
Kehughed, thinking nothing of it. “That''s what you always say every time.”
“It''s really different this time,” Dave insisted.
“Even this, I have heard countless times.”
Dave was rendered speechless.
Chatting as they walked, both of them proceeded into the car.
While Dave was driving, Keh stared at his phone''s wallpaper and ran his fingers over it.
ncing at the picture on Keh''s phone, Dave asked, “What''s wrong? Are you thinking of your
girlfriend again?”
Keh didn''t respond.
“Who in the world is capable of having such a hold on you?” As Dave peered over, he was shocked
when he finally got a good look at the picture.
