Chapter 668
Everything happened so fast that the men couldn''t react in time.
When they finally regained their senses, Keh''s car had disappeared from sight.
Anthony and Benjamin leaned against the rear window, scanning for any pursuing vehicles. “Daddy,
they didn''te after us!”
Keh stole a quick nce at them through the rearview mirror. A smile crept onto his lips as he
remarked, “They will meet their demise if they continue their pursuit of us. It seems they''re not fools.”
Anthony nodded in agreement. He turned to Benjamin, looking impressed. “That was amazing,
Benjamin. You did something cruel with an innocent expression. I finally realized how cold-blooded you
are today!”
“Cold-blooded? Me? Of course not!”
“Of course you are. I didn''t notice previously, but after this incident, I discovered you''re quite good at it,”

Anthony praised.
Benjamin''s gaze darted about before he raised his brow. “They sent so many men after us to kill us,
right? If that''s the case, we need to provoke them. Otherwise, they won''t be able to return and report
their progress to infuriate the mastermind!”
Anthony gave him the thumbs-up. “You''re just like Nat, indeed.”
“Right back at you. You didn''t hesitate in throwing that grenade.”
“I could say the same of you!”
Hearing their exchange, Keh cut in, “Are you done praising each other?”
The boys regained theirposure and turned to Keh. Anthony inched nearer to him and
chuckled. “What''s wrong, Daddy? Are you mad that we''re not praising you?”
To their surprise, Keh nced at them and grumbled softly, “We were all involved in the fight, but
you kept praising each other. That won''t work.”
Anthony and Benjamin shared a look before bursting into giggles.
It was rare to see Keh talking to them in such a childish manner.
Anthony quickly started, “Daddy, you were great, too!”
“Really? How so?” Keh asked. “That was too general.”
Anthony had to consider his words carefully, as Keh was seekingpliments.
After a brief pause, the boy revealed slowly, “I used to think you were just a good-looking guy without
any real abilities. However, I now see that you''re much more than that. You''re far more capable than
what people say about you.”
Keh was too stunned to speak.
Keh was too stunned to speak.
Why does his praise sound weird?
“Mm. I used to think that way, too. I thought the rumors were fake since nobody could be both good-
looking andpetent. But now, I''m sure of it. Daddy, you have proven that it is possible to be
handsome andpetent at the same time. That''s amazing!”
Usually, he found it hard tomunicate with Keh. There was no telling when their rtionship got
closer, as he was currently praising Keh sincerely.
Keh had to admit that Benjamin''s praise made him ted.
Feeling pleased, he nodded and said, “Anthony, learn from Benjamin. This feels so much nicer.”
“Daddy, I was telling the truth!” Anthony insisted.
“Benjamin was telling the truth, too!” Keh replied.
“How can you be sure of that?” Anthony asked.
A deep line appeared between Keh''s brows as he nced at Anthony through the rearview mirror.
He was about to say something when Anthony added, “Fine, okay. We''ll just assume Benjamin was
telling the truth.”
Keh gave him a curt nod and slowed down to park the car at the curbside.
He then got out of the car deftly.
Before doing that, he didn''t forget to unlock the door.
Anthony and Benjamin shared a look.
Keh opened the backseat door and looked straight at Anthony. “Repeat your words.”
“Um, good words shouldn''t be repeated!”
“You dare not speak, I assume?”
“Why would I be afraid to speak?”
“Fine. Say it again!” Keh fixed his gaze on him.
“We''ll just assume Benjamin was...” Before Anthony could finish, Keh started tickling him.
Anthony burst outughing, hisughter reverberating in the air.
“Stop it, Daddy! Daddy! Stop it!”
“So? Will you talk nicely?” Keh paused to ask.
Anthonyughed so hard that tears nearly escaped his eyes. When Keh stopped, he quickly
“So what if I''m bullying you?”
Anthony gaped incredulously.
“Are you going to say it again?” Keh asked.
Anthony said nothing.
“Okay!” Keh wiggled his fingers and was about to start tickling Anthony again when thetter
pounced on him, giving him a hug.
At that moment, they looked like a loving father and son duo.
They embraced each other, feeling as though all their previous animosity had dissipated into the ether.
Keh couldn''t exin his feelings as he was being hugged by his son.
Anthony merely wanted to avoid being tickled, so he didn''t expect that he''d hug Keh. Despite
feeling awkward, he had to admit that an indescribable emotion was unfurling in his heart.
“Daddy, if you continue tickling me, I''ll let Nat know that you bullied me!” Anthony warned.
“Sure. Tell Nat everything from A to Z,” came Keh''s calm reply.
“Daddy, you''re confident that I won''t disclose anything, right?”
“Yep.”
“The conversation is dead!”
“That isn''t important. What''s important is your attitude. So? Have you made up your mind?”
Anthony remained silent.
“It looks like I haven''t disciplined you enough.” With that, Keh was about to take action again.
Anthony whirled around and extended his hands out toward Benjamin. “Benjamin, save me!”
“Daddy, don''t let go!” Benjamin said.
Laughter ensued among them amidst their banter.
A few minutester, they fell silent.
Keh pulled out a cigarette and lit it up by the road.
Anthony and Benjamin stood beside him, staring at the ocean silently. They didn''t know how to exin
their current feelings.
Suddenly, Anthony broke the silence to ask, “Daddy, those men were from Vermillion Base, right?”
Keh lowered his gaze to look at him.
Following the previous event, he was no longer able to regard them as just ordinary children. He was
aware that attempting to conceal certain issues from them was futile.
Thus, he nodded in response.
Anthony took a deep breath. “It''s clear they want us dead. We haven''t even settled scores with them
after what they did to Nat, but they are taking things too far by wanting us dead. Daddy, don''t you find
this weird?”
