Chapter 427


    That night, Anthony paced back and forth in his room, thinking about something.


    He knew Keh was dead set on not letting them get involved with this matter, but he couldn''t just


    sit idly by.


    With that thought in mind, the boy''s gaze fell upon the bag that was ced at the side. After a


    moment of ponderation, he walked over, opened the bag, and took aptop out of it.


    He hesitated for a moment, but eventually, he turned on theptop.


    No matter what, he had to try. He had to see if he could get in touch with Natasha.


    Therefore, he began typing away on hisptop, trying to hack into the system to get Natasha''s


    location.


    In the midst of that, he frowned.


    He noticed that the system was not as hard to decode as it was before. It was as if there was an


    opening in a maze, rendering it much easier to solve.


    Just then, someone knocked on the door.


    Anthony was surprised. He quickly switched to another webpage to hide what he was doing and


    looked at the door. “Come in!”


    Benjamin opened the door and entered.


    Anthony heaved a sigh of relief when he saw his brothere in. “You scared me!”


    Benjamin realized something was going on as soon as he heard Anthony''s words. He instantly


    approached. “What are you doing?”


    Anthony switched back to the original page and continued typing away on the keyboard. “I''m trying


    to locate Nat.”


    “Can you find her?” said Benjamin.


    “I couldn''t before, but now, I might have a shot,” Anthony responded. He glued his eyes onto the


    screen with a look of excitement and nervousness.


    Benjamin sat next to his brother and watched expectantly without saying a word.


    Anthony worked on theptop for quite some time before Benjamin finally asked, “How''s it going?


    Did you make any progress? You still can''t locate her?”


    Anthony put theptop away and stopped typing. “It''s not that I can''t locate her. I think she probably


    left an opening for me to find her, but the ce she''s in now has some sort of signal interference, so


    I can''t pinpoint her location for the time being. But I''m sure once she leaves that ce, I should be


    able to find her.”


    Benjamin stared at his brother with slight surprise. “Did you just say Nat deliberately left an opening


    for you so you could find her?”


    “Yes, she did. Previously, Nat always hid her location from us on purpose. I tried decoding it but it


    was hard. This time, however, it''s a lot easier.” Anthony confirmed with a nod.


    “Maybe that''s not the case. What if you''ve simply gotten better at this?” asked Benjamin.


    That was possible because Anthony didn''t just have incredible skills. He also learned at an amazing


    speed, so there was a good chance he had improved in such a short time.


    When Anthony heard what Benjamin said, he mulled it over before shaking his head. “You''re right, I


    am improving, but this feels different. Everything from my hunch to the difficulty of cracking the code


    is telling me that Nat deliberately wants me to find her.”


    Benjamin stopped doubting his brother after hearing that because he believed in gut instincts, too.


    It was just like how he, Anthony, and Denise could read each other''s minds. Sometimes, gut


    instincts could be surprisingly urate.


    “Why would Nat do that, though?” asked Benjamin.


    Anthony''s brows knitted together as he pondered for a bit before answering, “I have no idea either.


    Maybe she''s trying to send me a message? But I can''t figure it out for now.”


    “You don''t think... Nat is not in trouble, is she?” said Benjamin, making a guess.


    Anthony shook his head. “No. I don''t think so. That guy demanded something from Daddy just now,


    so he must know that Daddy would ask to see Nat in return. Given those circumstances, it is


    unlikely he will hurt Nat.”

    Just then, Benjamin recalled what he saw on the surveince footage that day.


    He couldn''t help sighing when he thought about it. “I honestly don''t know what Nat is thinking. Why


    did she leave with that guy?”


    Anthony sighed as well. “Why else? Only Granddad''s matter could make Nat go nuts like this.”


    “But...”


    “Forget it. Neither one of us is in her shoes, so we are too rational to really understand what she is


    going through. We can''t even imagine how she feels. I mean, let''s think about it this way. What will


    the two of us do if Nat is the one who had died? It''s possible I will be even more irrational than Nat


    is right now,” said Anthony.


    Those words stunned Benjamin.


    He understood the situation after thinking about it from that angle.


    Anthony is right. If something happened to Nat, I don''t even know how I''d react. I might be a


    thousand times crazier than her. So, I guess Nat is already rational enough.


    Benjamin nodded in agreement as he pondered.


    “So, the most important task at hand is to find clues about Nat. We must get in touch with Nat


    before Daddy meets up with that guy. I need to know what message Nat is trying to convey.”


    Benjamin bobbed his head.


    Anthony turned his attention back to hisptop and continued working.


    Benjamin stood at the side and watched until he suddenly recalled something. “Oh, by the way,


    Thalia called.”


    “What does she want?”


    “The people from Darz are looking for us. Kyle, in particr, really needs to talk to us,” replied


    Benjamin.


    Anthony frowned at the mere mention of that issue. “Turn him down.”


    “Thalia said he''ll stop at nothing to see us. If we won''t meet him, he''lle to us.”


    Anthony stopped typing and thought it through before replying, “No. If hees here right now, he''ll


    mess everything up. We can''t let hime to us before we solve the matters at hand.”


    “Maybe you should talk to him? I can''t stop him, let alone Thalia,” Benjamin said.


    Anthony considered the situation and said, “Okay, I''ll go online and get in touch with himter.”


    “Let''s not wait untilter. Thalia is still waiting to hear from us, so let''s do it now,” suggested


    Benjamin.


    Anthony looked at Benjamin with hesitation before logging onto Darz.


    Kyle happened to be online.


    Anthony typed a few words, paused, and pondered. He then deleted everything and typed a


    different message.


    After he repeated the same action a few times, Benjamin, who was watching him at the side,


    teased, “What''s wrong? Is the great Anthony finally at his wit''s end?”


    “I''m just wondering if I can turn this into an opportunity to get DX Group and Darz to reconcile,”


    said Anthony.


    Benjamin couldn''t help sneering upon hearing that. “Did you hit your head or something? You know


    that is not possible, right?”


    “Is it impossible, though? Maybe we just need the right strategy.”


    “A strategy for something like this? Are you sure your n won''t backfire?”


    Anthony thought about it. “That''s possible, but there''s also a chance I can make this work.”


    “Okay, then what n have youe up with?”


    “I haven''t actuallye up with anything yet.”


    “Then why are we having this conversation at all?”ined Benjamin.


    “Oh,e on. Don''t rain on my parade. Help mee up with something,” Anthony said.


    “This isn''t a small matter. Darz will never reconcile with DX Group without Holden''s permission,


    so the real question is will Holden ever allow that to happen? This is impossible unless Daddy and


    Holden fight it out.” Benjamin was adamant about his opinion.


    “Is there really no way for this to end peacefully?”


    “I don''t think so.”


    The boys were still chatting when Kyle''s profile picture popped up. He had sent Anthony a


    message.


    Kyle: The system shows that you''ve been typing forever, but you haven''t sent a single message.


    What the heck?
