Chapter 201
Anthony turned to look at theputer beside him after thinking for a moment.
He narrowed his eyes as an idea popped into his head.
He walked over to the side and turned on theputer. After making sure that there was no
problem, he proceeded with his n.
Despite his young age, Anthony was fast. He stared at the ck screen on theputer. A red dot
appeared on the screen and turned into lines of red Ustranian letters. He typed faster and faster as
he squinted his eyes at the screen. His dark, obsidian eyes wereser-focused on it.
After a few minutes, his lips quirked into a smile.
Now, Kyle will no longere here.
Anthony did not hastily turn off theputer. He stretched his body and leaned back, tapping
rhythmically on the table as if in anticipation of something.
After a few minutes, the phone rang. It was Thalia.
Anthony picked up the call in anguid manner. “Hello.”
“Kyle told me he can''te tomorrow. You may rx now.”
“Okay,” Anthony replied nonchntly with a t tone.
“Aren''t you curious why he''s noting?” Thalia asked. Obviously, she thought it was unlike
Anthony not to ask.
“What''s there to be curious about? He''s busy,” Anthony quipped. He was grinning to himself,
surprised at just how fast his n worked.
Having known Anthony all this time, Thalia reckoned that something was off
Anthony had insisted on keeping his identity a secret. Thus, he should have been anxious that Kyle
wanted to meet him.
It was not normal for him to be nonchnt
about it.
Unless...
“Kyle said that there are some problems with the goods over at Irushea. So, he has to rush over
there. This... has nothing to do with you, right?” Thalia tried to sound him out, despite feeling that it
was quite impossible. Yet, she had a hunch that things were not that simple.
“Really? I''ve told Kyle that he should personally oversee them. He didn''t listen to me, so now his
goods are being held, right?” Anthony said.
“I did not mention anything about his goods being held...” Thalia let out a gasp upon the realization.
“So it was really you?”
“Uh... What are you saying? I just made a guess!” Anthony dismissed her.
“Do you take me for a fool? How could you be so spot on? You... You are driving Kyle crazy!” Thalia
eximed. She was going crazy from the realization too. Why did I have to ask him that?
Anthony remained calm andposed.
“Don''t worry. I just leaked a little information on the location nearby the batch of goods. As long as
Kyle gets there in time, he can still move them.”
“What if he can''t make it in time?” Thalia asked.
“If he can''t make it in time, I will just leak information about the other party''s goods'' whereabouts to
compensate for his loss then.”
Thalia was rendered speechless.
A single mishap could lead to serious repercussions, even leading to a vicious fight. However,
Anthony was making it sound like it was nothing.
She suddenly found Anthony terrifying.
He was young, and yet he was capable of borate and ruthless schemes against the people he
knew.
Could this be the alleged God''s point of view?
Thalia took a deep breath and said, “Aren''t you afraid that Kyle might give up on that batch of goods
just because he wants to see you?”
After all, it was possible that Kyle would make that choice. Even though the goods were important, it
was obvious that he desperately wanted to know Anthony''s identity as well.
Since both the goods and Anthony''s identity were important to Kyle, there was no telling which one
Kyle would choose. Nobody would be able to stop him if he were to give up on the batch of goods to
meet Anthony instead.
Anthony thought for a moment and responded, “Yes, it is possible. But do you think he''s more hung
up on Shadow Seeker''s identity or mine?”
“Oh, I will have to go with Shadow Seeker this time. You''re also part of Darz. That means you
can''t hide from us forever. However, the same cannot be said for Shadow Seeker. Kyle has been
looking for her for years. As long as there is a trace of her, he will risk everything to track her
down...” Then, Thalia sensed that something was off. “What are you getting at? Are you saying that
you know about
Shadow Seeker''s whereabouts?”
Anthony remained silent.
How would I not know? Even if I n to use Mommy to my advantage, I will not let Kyle know of her
actual whereabouts. However, I still cannot bring myself to go to that extent...

Hence, there were a number of ways to distract Kyle, so long as one understood what Kyle''s
Achilles'' heel was.
Thalia knew that she had hit the jackpot when she noticed the silence on the other end of the line.
“So you do know about it?”
“No, I don''t,” Anthony replied.
“You''re lying!” Thalia eximed. Even though she had no substantial evidence to back her im,
she had a hunch that he was lying.
He definitely knows! This boy is truly something else.
Thalia would not be surprised if any other extraordinary things were to have something to do with
him anymore.
Still, Anthony did not dignify her with a response.
“I''m also here at Glenport City to look for her, but I''ve lost her trail in the midst of it. If you do know
where she is, please let me know. That way, I can finally aplish my mission of recruiting her
into Darz!” Thalia said.
“She will never join us,” Anthony said.
“How do you know that? Do you know her?” Thalia demanded.
“It''s been so many years. If she truly intended to join Darz, she would have joined us long ago.”
“How would we know where she stands if we don''t give it a try?” Thalia asked. “If Shadow Seeker
joins us, Darz will be invincible, and we will have nothing to fear!”
Anthony pursed his lips as he did not know what to say.
“Do you know where she is?” Thalia egged on.
“No!” Anthony snapped.
“But—”
“I''ve only confronted her once. That''s how I know she''s at Glenport City,” Anthony lied.
Thalia would not be able to fault that statement, at least.
“Really?”
“Yes,” Anthony stated matter-of-factly.
However, Thalia still thought there was more to what he said.
“So, you leaked Shadow Seeker''s location to Kyle?”
“Will he be able to discern if I gave him a fake one?”
Thalia was rendered speechless.
“You''re the worst!” Thaliained.
How could a boy of his age be so evil?
Anthony feigned a cough and said, “All right. It''s gettingte. I''m going to take my rest soon. Do not
tell Kyle about this.” “Huh?”
“You''re the only one in Darz who knows about my true identity. If there is another soul who
knows about this, then you''re definitely the tattletale.”
Anthony did not give her a chance to protest and said, “I believe that you''re still on my side. Don''t
worry. Nothing is going to happen to Kyle. I will make sure of it.”
What else was left for Thalia to say to that?
She decided it was best to stay out of the two experts'' gambit. Otherwise, she would be the one to
suffer the repercussions.
“All right, then. I know nothing of this,” shemented.
“One more thing. If he intends toe again, let me know beforehand. Do not drop it down on me
like a bomb again!” Anthony huffed.
a o n
Sure.
“Okay. Good night then, Thalia!” Anthony said sweetly.
An image of a pretty little boy popped into Thalia''s mind. Just when she was relishing the angelic
smile on the little boy''s face, another image of the little boy''s devilish manner snapped her out of her
daze.
“Good night!” Thalia hurriedly said as she hung up the phone.
Anthony''s lips curled into a smile as he looked at the phone.
Just when Anthony was about to turn off theputer to go to sleep, he suddenly spotted a
notification about a browsing history on the screen.
