Chapter 558


    Night soon arrived.


    Wielding the phone in his hand, Anthony stared at the chat room with Keh, brimming with


    hesitation and not knowing how to confess the whole truth.


    Ultimately, he couldn''t sleep a wink that night. Thus, he decided to head out and spend some time


    wandering on the streets.


    Be that as it might, the moment he set foot downstairs, he caught Keh talking on the phone.


    “At longst, the renowned Anonymous is willing to make an appearance!” was thetter''s statement.


    Anonymous? Anthony''s eyes narrowed.


    Despite hearing that, the boy continued to keep a weather eye on his father.


    “Okay, I''ll see you there,” uttered Keh. He hung up the phone immediately afterward.


    He was d in a ck suit as if he had long been prepared to step out of the house.


    Seeing Keh moving toward the exit, Anthony spoke out loud at once. “Daddy, it''s sote now. Are


    you going somewhere?”


    The former turned around toward the source, only to find Anthony''s presence. He narrowed his eyes


    slightly. “Hmm? Why are you not in bed yet?”


    “I must''ve eaten too much, so I thought a stroll might help with digestion.” Anthony didn''t avert his gaze


    as he continued to inquire, “Where are you going, Daddy?”


    “I''m meeting somebody.”


    “Who?” probed Anthony.


    Keh looked at his son but said nothing.


    Right then, Anthony approached the former and pressed on. “Daddy, I heard you mention the name


    Anonymous, right?”


    The man still wouldn''t give an answer.


    Seeing that, Anthony threw yet another query out. “Are you meeting up with Anonymous?”


    “Is there a problem?”


    “Yes, of course, there is.”


    “And what would that be?”


    “Because—” Anthony froze as words remained at the tip of his tongue, refusing to go past his lips. After


    a short while, he blinked and remarked, “Anonymous will never show up. Even if he does, he''ll let us


    know beforehand. So, I bet the one that you''re going to meet is an impostor.”


    “I''ll find out once I see him.”


    “He''s just a fake! Daddy, I guess someone''s trying to set you up. Don''t fall for it,” advised Anthony.


    “Oh, really? Are you sure about it?”


    “Absolutely.”


    “You think? Why?”


    Anthony peered at his father while trying to reason it out. “Because... Because Anonymous told me


    before that if he''sing, I''ll be the first to know.”


    Without uttering anything more, Keh wheeled around and marched outside.


    “I''m serious, Daddy. You''ve got to believe me!” the boy pleaded.


    At that very moment, Keh turned to p eyes on his son, suggesting, “Why don''t youe with


    me and have a look?”


    Anthony was slightly taken aback at that invitation. “M-Me?”


    “Yes. Didn''t you im that you know him? It''d be perfect if you could help me check that person out.”


    Anthony fell into a light trance. He, too, was eager to know who in the world was impersonating him.


    After giving it some thought, he bobbed his head. “Okay.”


    “Let''s hit the road!” prompted Keh.


    With that, the father-and-son duo set off in the car.


    Very soon, they were out of the castle. Anthony sat in the backseat, contemting as his father


    maneuvered the car in the driver''s seat. “Is it only the two of us, Daddy?” he asked.


    Keh nced at the boy through the rearview mirror. “What''s wrong? Are you scared?”


    “It''s not that, but since the impostor has nned to deceive you, he''ll definitelye at you fully


    prepared. Wouldn''t we be sorely outnumbered if we showed up like this? Plus, I''m not at all powerful or


    intimidating. I''m worried that I might end up burdening you.”


    With a hand grabbing the steering wheel, Keh unwittingly shed a smirk. “Don''t worry. I won''t let


    anything happen to you.”


    Since his father had said as much, Anthony couldn''t argue anymore.


    Even though he was fairly concerned about the matter at hand, his heart was pounding with


    excitement. After all, it was his first time being on a journey with his father alone, and that inundated


    him with an indescribable emotion.


    As the car sped down the road, Anthony posed a question once more.


    “Daddy, was Anonymous the one who initiated contact with you?”


    “Mm.”


    “Did he touch on anything else?”


    “Nothing at all.”


    Anthony pursed his lips while staring at his father. He had made up his mind to bring to light nothing but


    the truth once the meeting that very night was all over.


    For the nonce, he would like to see who would be foolish enough to even have the audacity to put on a


    pretense like that.


    As his train of thought stopped there, Anthony gazed outside the car window; his eyes overwhelmed


    with exhration. Even so, there seemed to be a tinge of worry flitting across those eyes of his.


    After half an hour on the road, the car finally came to a halt in a remote location.


    There seemed to be an enormous array ofmercial buildings under construction around the area.


    The entire surroundings were a total mess. Still and all, only a ce like that would be appropriate for a


    meeting like theirs.


    The night was already getting darker.


    After turning off the car engine, Keh alighted from the car. Upon witnessing that act, Anthony


    rapidly followed suit.


    To be honest, being at a site like that alone was hair-raising enough for anyone.


    “Daddy...”


    “Follow me closely,” instructed Keh.


    Anthony inclined his head, his gaze fixated on his father.


    With that, he trailed Keh''s footsteps and gradually ascended the stairs of an unfinished tower.


    Just when they were halfway there, Keh turned and eyed his son all of a sudden. “Are you afraid?”


    Thetter shook his head. “No.”


    Keh didn''t carry on with their conversation thereafter. All he did was focus on climbing up the


    stairs.


    Anthony, in turn, trod on the man''s heels the whole time.


    No sooner had they arrived at about the sixth or seventh floor than they glimpsed a figure standing not


    far ahead.


    Catching sight of the unknown person, Keh gave Anthony an order. “You stay right here and wait


    for me, Anthony.”


    In an instant, Anthony furrowed his brows. “That guy''s an impostor, Daddy!”


    “How do you know if you haven''t even seen him yet?”


    “I-I... I just know!” Anthony choked out. Given that the meeting was arranged at a secluded ce like

    that in the middle of the night, he had a feeling that there must be danger lurking somewhere out there.


    “Just wait for me,” was all Keh had to say.


    “Daddy!”


    “Don''te out until I signal, and if something happens, you run as fast as you can, you hear?”


    “Daddy—”


    Before Anthony could say anything else, Keh had already walked away by himself.


    “Daddy...” Anthony had the urge to chase after his father, but at the same time, he wanted to know


    what the other party was actually aiming at. Scanning the vicinity, he found that he had no choice but to


    observe in the shadows.


    In the meantime, Keh was striding toward the stranger.


    “Ah, you''re here!” The second that person opened his mouth, it was crystal clear that he was using a


    voice changer.


    During the interval, Anthony was paying the utmost attention to the self-professed “Anonymous,” only


    to see that the person was garbed in an oversized ck robe that resembled a cape, coupled with a


    hat. As that person slowly spun around, it was also revealed that he even had a ck and white


    masquerade mask on his face.


    Since the sky was too dark, Anthony had a hard time taking a good look at the impostor. However,


    when he managed to get a clear view, what he saw startled him.


    It was then he suddenly recalled that someone in Hacker Community had drawn a portrait of


    “Anonymous,” and that person''s outfit had striking simrities with the portrait.


    A ck cloak, a hat, and a domino mask.


    Upon noticing the attire, Anthony narrowed his eyes. Not in a million years would he expect his identity


    to be taken advantage of.


    He had refrained from stepping in thus far, for he wanted to see for himself what the impostor was


    attempting to achieve.


    Hence, he continued sprawling on the ground, watching the impostor like a hawk from afar.


    Right at that juncture, Keh walked up to the unknown person and said, “Since you''ve asked for me,


    I''ll have to turn up no matter what.”


    “You really are something, Keh, having the courage to show up all by yourself,” the other party


    vibes.


    Keh curled his lips and raised a query right away. “Let''s cut to the chase. What do you need me


    for?”
