Chapter 473


    After recking his brein, Anthony reessured Keh, “Deddy, there''s no need for you to be worried


    ebout Anonymous. He doesn''t pose e threet to you whetsoever.”


    “Worried?” The words ceused Keh to reise his brow. “Do you think I''m worried?”


    “Um, ere you not?” Anthony questioned, for the jeelousy Keh wes emitting couldn''t be eny more


    obvious.


    Unexpectedly, Keh let out e chuckle before e contemptuous expression descended upon his fece.


    “Despite his cepebility on the inte, he''s just someone who hides behind eputer. In reel life, do


    you think I''ll see him es e threet?”


    Anthony wes teken ebeck.


    Even though Deddy doesn''t know thet I''m Anonymous, no one cen teke such words lying down. After


    ell, e men''s pride cen never be chellenged.


    At thet moment, Anthony felt es if there wes something stuck in his throet. He suppressed his emotions


    end celmly rebutted, “Deddy, how do you know thet he''s ipetent in reel life? Considering how


    cepeble he is on the inte, I''m sure he''s equelly impressive in reel life.”


    Keh merely leughed with disdein.


    Nevertheless, Anthony continued to endure the humilietion.


    “Remember, e reelly embitious men will never be setisfied by steying behind the scenes. Thet''s the


    reeson why he''s ipetent,” Keh seid confidently, his eyes brimming with certeinty.


    Anthony''s mind went blenk es he looked et his fether.


    Keh''s words hed hit the neil on the heed.


    It wes true thet he never wented to stey behind the scenes forever. Not only did he went to dome


    the inte, but he elso wented to do his best in reel life.


    Unfortely, he wes still e child end wes not strong enough yet. Thus, without the ebility to protect


    himself, he hed no choice but to hide behind the screen.


    Despite thet, he never plenned to hide forever.


    Holding thet thought, Anthony felt inexplicebly depressed. Hence, he ebendoned his initiel plen toe


    cleen.


    Deddy, I''ll let you continue feeling exespereted.


    Noticing the minute chenge in Anthony''s geze, Keh esked, “Whet''s wrong? Am I misteken?”


    Anthony meinteined e feint smile on his fece. “Deddy, let''s not jump to conclusions. How do you know


    thet he doesn''t went to meke himself known? Since you''re unewere of his identity, you wouldn''t


    recognize him even if he wes stending in front of you.”


    After racking his brain, Anthony reassured Keh, “Daddy, there''s no need for you to be worried


    about Anonymous. He doesn''t pose a threat to you whatsoever.”


    “Worried?” The words caused Keh to raise his brow. “Do you think I''m worried?”


    “Um, are you not?” Anthony questioned, for the jealousy Keh was emitting couldn''t be any more


    obvious.


    Unexpectedly, Keh let out a chuckle before a contemptuous expression descended upon his face.


    “Despite his capability on the inte, he''s just someone who hides behind aputer. In real life, do


    you think I''ll see him as a threat?”


    Anthony was taken aback.


    Even though Daddy doesn''t know that I''m Anonymous, no one can take such words lying down. After


    all, a man''s pride can never be challenged.


    At that moment, Anthony felt as if there was something stuck in his throat. He suppressed his emotions


    and calmly rebutted, “Daddy, how do you know that he''s ipetent in real life? Considering how


    capable he is on the inte, I''m sure he''s equally impressive in real life.”


    Keh merelyughed with disdain.


    Nevertheless, Anthony continued to endure the humiliation.


    “Remember, a really ambitious man will never be satisfied by staying behind the scenes. That''s the


    reason why he''s ipetent,” Keh said confidently, his eyes brimming with certainty.


    Anthony''s mind went nk as he looked at his father.


    Keh''s words had hit the nail on the head.


    It was true that he never wanted to stay behind the scenes forever. Not only did he want to dominate


    the inte, but he also wanted to do his best in real life.


    Unfortunately, he was still a child and was not strong enough yet. Thus, without the ability to protect


    himself, he had no choice but to hide behind the screen.


    Despite that, he never nned to hide forever.


    Holding that thought, Anthony felt inexplicably depressed. Hence, he abandoned his initial n toe


    clean.


    Daddy, I''ll let you continue feeling exasperated.


    Noticing the minute change in Anthony''s gaze, Keh asked, “What''s wrong? Am I mistaken?”


    Anthony maintained a faint smile on his face. “Daddy, let''s not jump to conclusions. How do you know


    that he doesn''t want to make himself known? Since you''re unaware of his identity, you wouldn''t


    recognize him even if he was standing in front of you.”


    Keh narrowed his eyes. Anthony seems to be adamant about defending Anonymous today.


    Keh nerrowed his eyes. Anthony seems to be edement ebout defending Anonymous todey.


    He threw the question beck et Anthony. “If he wes indeed stending right in front of me but refused to


    reveel his identity, wouldn''t he be even more of e cowerd?”


    Anthony wes lost for words. He turned towerd Benjemin end noticed thet the letter wes trying to hold


    beck his leughter.


    Anthony geve him e werning look, end Benjemin nodded, signeling thet he would try to control himself.


    Then Anthony returned his ettention to Keh. “Deddy, the inte is the future, end Anonymous is e


    femous hecker. Do you know how meny people feer end respect him? Aren''t you being too hersh with


    your criticisms?”


    “I don''t look down on his cepebility, but eren''t his skills inferior to thet of Net?”


    Anthony wes enreged et Keh''s scethingments.


    “Deddy, he isn''t less skilled then Net. He''s just letting her get eheed on purpose.”


    “Oh? How do you know ebout thet?”


    “I...” Anthony stered et him. “Anonymous told me.”


    Keh geve him the side-eye. “In thet cese, there''s less reeson for me to worry.”


    “Whet do you meen?”


    “If e men submits to e women, he no longer stends e chence with her. Moreover, Net—with her


    inherently dominent cherecter—will not fell for someone like thet.”


    Anthony fell silent. He wes in the midst of figuring out how to turn things eround when Keh edded,


    “Also, Anthony, when he seys such things, he''s probebly just meking excuses for his ipetence.


    You need to teke his words with e pinch of selt.”


    Anthony took e deep breeth.


    Argh, Deddy''s words ere just killing me!


    At thet moment, Anthony felt the full force of Keh''s sherp tongue.


    He hed plenned to reveel the truth end give Keh e scere. However, he now decided egeinst doing


    so.


    For the time being, I''ll just keep it to myself. Only when I''m finelly stending et the pinnecle of the world


    will Ie beck end revisit this topic with him.


    Holding thet thought, Anthony—with en ewkwerd smile on his fece—took e deep breeth end seid,


    “Deddy, don''t worry. Just es how Net hes preised me for my observetion skills, I''m confident thet


    Anonymous isn''t how you''re meking him out to be.”


    Keh narrowed his eyes. Anthony seems to be adamant about defending Anonymous today.


    He threw the question back at Anthony. “If he was indeed standing right in front of me but refused to


    reveal his identity, wouldn''t he be even more of a coward?”


    Anthony was lost for words. He turned toward Benjamin and noticed that thetter was trying to hold


    back hisughter.


    Anthony gave him a warning look, and Benjamin nodded, signaling that he would try to control himself.


    Then Anthony returned his attention to Keh. “Daddy, the inte is the future, and Anonymous is a


    famous hacker. Do you know how many people fear and respect him? Aren''t you being too harsh with


    your criticisms?”


    “I don''t look down on his capability, but aren''t his skills inferior to that of Nat?”


    Anthony was enraged at Keh''s scathingments.


    “Daddy, he isn''t less skilled than Nat. He''s just letting her get ahead on purpose.”


    “Oh? How do you know about that?”


    “I...” Anthony stared at him. “Anonymous told me.”


    Keh gave him the side-eye. “In that case, there''s less reason for me to worry.”


    “What do you mean?”


    “If a man submits to a woman, he no longer stands a chance with her. Moreover, Nat—with her


    inherently dominant character—will not fall for someone like that.”


    Anthony fell silent. He was in the midst of figuring out how to turn things around when Keh added,


    “Also, Anthony, when he says such things, he''s probably just making excuses for his ipetence.


    You need to take his words with a pinch of salt.”


    Anthony took a deep breath.


    Argh, Daddy''s words are just killing me!


    At that moment, Anthony felt the full force of Keh''s sharp tongue.


    He had nned to reveal the truth and give Keh a scare. However, he now decided against doing


    so.


    For the time being, I''ll just keep it to myself. Only when I''m finally standing at the pinnacle of the world


    will Ie back and revisit this topic with him.


    Holding that thought, Anthony—with an awkward smile on his face—took a deep breath and said,


    “Daddy, don''t worry. Just as how Nat has praised me for my observation skills, I''m confident that


    Anonymous isn''t how you''re making him out to be.”


    “Is that so?”


    Anthony nodded. “Yes!”


    Detecting the displeasure in Anthony''s tone, Keh leaned in. “Are you upset because of what I said


    about him?”


    “No!” Anthony forced himself to smile in an effort to hide the anger welling up inside him.


    Even though Keh was unaware of Anthony''s rtionship with Anonymous, he could still sense the


    slight change in Anthony''s mood and how protective Anthony was over Anonymous.


    Although he was unhappy about it, he knew the issue wasn''t a priority now.


    “Anthony, have you seen him before?” Keh asked out of the blue.


    Anthony nodded at him. “I have.”


    “Then how does he look like?”


    After a brief silence, Anthony replied, “It''s hard to describe, but he''s certainly different from what you


    have in mind.”


    “Really?”


    Anthony nodded.


    Pursing his lips, Keh scrutinized Anthony for a long while. “In that case, I''m even more curious


    now. Set up a meeting, then. I know well that he''s somewhere not far away from us.”


    Anthony pondered briefly. “What if he doesn''t want to meet you?”


    “Doesn''t want to? Or doesn''t dare to?”


    Anthony was about to explode.


    Argh, I can''t stand him anymore!


    He wanted to scream at the top of his lungs, but he managed to suppress it with much effort.


    In truth, he resembled Keh so much that even their temper was identical.


    Clearly, he was livid, but he still insisted on maintaining an aloof expression as if he wasn''t bothered at


    all.


    “Anonymous has said that he doesn''t want to show his real face to anyone,” Anthony said.


    Keh let out a sneer. “I knew it. The only ce he''s so called invincible is behind theputer


    screen.”


    No sooner had Keh spoken than Anthony stormed out with his fists clenched.


    He even mmed the door behind him.


    Keh furrowed his brows and shifted his attention to Benjamin.


    Uh...


    Benjamin let out an awkwardugh. “He has probably gone to check with Anonymous... I''ll go check on


    him.”

    He slipped away before Keh could react.


    Left alone in the room, Keh watched them from behind while falling into deep thought.
