Chapter 382
Noticing that his father was in a rush, Anthony called out to Keh at once.
“Daddy.”
Keh turned around and looked at Anthony''s innocent face as he replied, “Is there anything
else?”
“Are you going to look for Nat?” Anthony asked expectantly.
“Yes.” Keh nodded.
“Why don''t you bring us along too?” Anthony asked.
Keh narrowed his eyes as he scrutinized both Anthony and Benjamin. Even though the boys
did not say much, they were clearlymunicating the same message with the look in their eyes.
Keh had no idea what would happen during his trip there. However, he was certain that there
were potential dangers he might encounter. That was also the reason why Natasha had left without
a word. If that was what she had chosen to do, there was no way Keh would risk putting the
kids in danger.
Anthony and Benjamin were indeed different from other kids, and Darz was also a powerful
organization. However, to Keh, it would always be his duty to protect the boys as their father.
That was the tacit understanding between him and Natasha.
At that thought, Keh nced at the two of them and replied lowly, “No.”
“Why?” Anthony asked, frowning.
He had expected Keh to agree to let them tag along after knowing their identities. However, it
was just his wishful thinking.
Keh looked at the kids with a solemn expression and said, “Boys, I know that the two of you are
very worried about Nat, but do you know why she left without saying goodbye?”
“Because she was worried that we would follow her if we knew about it?” Anthony replied.
“Since you are aware of her intentions, you should know that I am on the same page as her on this.
To both Nat and I, your safety is our priority. As such, you should listen to Nat and stay here. I''ll
definitely bring her back safely!” Keh said.
“We can protect ourselves!” Anthony argued. “Perhaps, we could even help you.”
Benjamin nodded in agreement before adding, “That''s right. We also promise to take care of
ourselves and not get into any trouble.”
Seeing that the boys were not intending to give up, Keh furrowed his brows and said, “How are
you going to promise me that? Although you are members of Darz and are under its protection,
it might be difficult for Thalia to protect the two of you. Besides, you''re just kids, after all. If you get
captured by the enemy, Nat and I would have no choice but to do as they say. As such, you need to
listen to me and stay here and wait for us toe back. I promise that I will bring Nat back safely!”
By then, it was obvious to the boys that Keh would not take them along no matter what they
said. If they tried harder, it would just seem as if they were immature and wasting his time.
At that thought, Anthony looked at his father with dim eyes and replied, “All right. We understand.”
Keh knew that they were bright kids and would understand the situation. With that thought, the
corner of the man''s lips curled up into a smile.
“Wait for me toe back!” Keh said.
Anthony and Benjamin nodded.
Even though Keh was reluctant to leave the boys and still had many unanswered questions, he
knew that it was time for him to go.
As such, he turned to look at Fabian, who had been spacing out, and said, “Let''s go.”
Fabian snapped out of his daze at once and followed closely behind Keh.
After Keh drove away in his car, the group of men who hade before him also departed.
Momentster, only Thalia, Anthony, and Benjamin were left standing there.
Thalia looked at the boys and asked, “So, do you have any other ns?”
When Anthony heard that, his eyes suddenly lit up as he replied, “Of course.”
Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.
Thalia simply stared at the boy.
“We''re sticking to the original n,” Anthony continued.
“Does that mean you''re still going?”
“Of course!” Anthony replied.
“But didn''t you hear what Keh said just now? Besides, haven''t you agreed as well?”
“Yeah, I heard what he said, but I didn''t agree to it!” Anthony shrugged and answered.
Thalia was at a loss for words when she heard that.
Indeed, she did not remember him agreeing.
“You''re really sneaky.” Thalia looked at the boy and said.
Anthony looked toward Benjamin and asked, “What do you say, Benjamin?”
“Let''s go!” Benjamin replied without hesitation.
The brothers got into the car after the decision was made.
Thalia looked at the two boys and was utterly speechless. She could hardly believe that she could
not even handle two kids.
After watching the boys get into the car, Thalia turned to look at everything that had been
destroyed. All that money, down the drain!
Anthony and Benjamin were sitting obediently in the car when Thalia got in.
After settling down, the woman picked up her phone and called someone. The call got through after
just a few seconds.
“Hello, who''s this?”
“It''s me!” Thalia answered.
There was a brief moment of silence on the other end of the phone. Obviously, the other party had
recognized Thalia''s voice.
“Umm, hi, Ms. Jacoway. Have you changed your number?”
Sneering, Thalia replied, “I was worried that you wouldn''t dare to pick up my call if you knew it was
me. That''s why I called using a different number.”
“You must be joking, Ms. Jacoway. Why would I do that? It''s reallyte now though. Is there
anything I can help you with?”
Thalia let out a scoff before replying in a chilling voice, “It''s nothing important. I just called to tell you
that you should bring your bodyguards along whenever you go out. It''s also advisable for you to get
someone to watch over you while you sleep. That''s because I''m going to blow your brains out after I
finish settling some matters. No one has ever dared to betray me. Just you wait!” After saying that,
the woman hung up without waiting for the other party to reply.
That was the first time Anthony and Benjamin had seen Thalia this furious.
Then again, it was natural for her to be enraged at being betrayed at such a crucial moment. If it
had happened during some other transaction, she could have died.
As such, the boyspletely understood the way she reacted.
Ultimately, there was nothing they could do when faced with a more formidable opponent.
Thalia felt better after venting, and immediately after she hung up, she floored the elerator. The
car sped off.
Anthony checked the time and asked, “Will we make it in time?”
“If Keh can make it in time, we will be able to as well,” Thalia replied grimly while keeping her
eyes on the road.
Given how confident the woman sounded, Anthony knew that they would definitely have no problem
reaching in time.
As such, he shut his eyes and drifted off to sleep.
After all, sleep was important for a boy who was still growing.
Although Anthony did not take after Natasha in most aspects, the two of them were exactly the
same when it came to their sleeping habits. Both of them could sleep whenever and wherever.
Meanwhile, Benjamin looked at Thalia and said after a moment of thought, “If we manage to resolve
this sessfully, I''ll follow you back to Darz headquarters.”
Thalia froze for a moment before asking, “What''s with the sudden decision?”
An unfathomable glint shed across Benjamin''s eyes before he replied, “Daddy''s right. No matter
how extraordinary we are, we are still kids in the end and are not as strong as the others. As such, I
need to be stronger in order to protect my loved ones,” the boy replied resolutely.
A pleased smile appeared on Thalia''s face as she looked at the boy through the rearview mirror.
With one hand on the steering wheel, she said, “Benjamin, trust me. You''re destined to achieve
great things. I have always been a good judge of people!”
