Chapter 436
“Are you saying... that this is your n?” Benjamin ventured, goggling at Anthony.
“Well, duh. Do you think I''m so foolish as to employ such a method to take my revenge against
him?” Anthony retorted.
Nheless, Benjamin frowned at him. “No, I don''t quite understand your n.”
Anthony motioned for him to take a seat. “Sit down, and we''ll talk.”

Thus, they both walked over to the dining table and sat down.
Just when Anthony was about to speak, the housekeeper approached with breakfast. His brows
creased as he eyed the food in front of him. He asked bluntly, “Is there steak?”
Upon hearing that, the housekeeper gawped at him. She then inclined her head in affirmation.
“Yes.”
“I''d like to have steak, please. Thank you!” Anthony stated.
The housekeeper nodded. “Sure! Give me a few minutes!”
Anthony bobbed his head.
Seeing as the housekeeper was going to leave, Benjamin chimed in, “I''d like to have steak, too!
Medium-cooked, please. Thank you!”
The housekeeper''s gaze roamed over them. Thereafter, she dipped her head and left.
At once, Anthony swung his gaze at Benjamin.
Without realizing it, they had both been speaking in Capstonese.
They didn''t know a single word when they first came over, but by then, they could have basic
conversations in thenguage.
Anthony regarded him with a smirk on his lips “When did you learn it?”
“Huh?” Benjamin grunted, feigning ignorance.
“Stop faking it!” Anthony huffed.
Arching an eyebrow, Benjamin decided to admit to it. “It''s no big deal. I just picked it up during the
few days you were wearing earphones for no reason.”
Anthony was struck dumb.
It looks like he knows everything though he said nothing.
At that thought, the corners of his lips turned up. “Well, well, well... You''re increasingly shrewd now!”
“Right back at you!”
Even then, the two brothers didn''t forget to bicker with each other.
Only when the housekeeper brought two tes of steak over did they revert to normal.
“All right, let''s put that aside first. Let''s talk business. What exactly is your n?” Benjamin inquired,
pinning his eyes on Anthony.
Anthony pondered for some time before answering, “I''d been thinking about this since I overheard
the conversation between Daddy and Mr. Dave yesterday... But after turning it over in my mind, this
was the only method avable to me.”
While saying that, he trained his eyes on Benjamin. “That person wants Daddy''s life, and Daddy will
definitely go alone in order to save Nat. But it doesn''t matter what Daddy''s n is for he''ll still end
up taking damage even if he wins by a slight edge. And even then, he might not be able to save
her.”
“That''s true.” Benjamin sighed.
“I brooded over it yesterday, but I couldn''t involve Darz in this either. You know the grudge
between Daddy and Darz. Hence, this was the only method I could use,” Anthony exined,
holding his gaze.
In a trice, understanding dawned upon Benjamin. “So, you''re not doing this for revenge. Instead, it''s
to muddy the waters to make the person worried and fearful. Then, Daddy will have a greater
chance of saving Nat.”
Anthony nodded at that. “Even if we can''t kill that person, it''s still an opportunity if we can strike
some fear into him and inflict damage on him!”
“This is undeniably a great method, but did you ever consider that you''d be cing yourself at risk
by doing so? Yes, I know they might not necessarily be able to find you, but what if they seed in
doing so? After all, nothing can remain a secret forever in this world. By that time, you''d be the one
in danger.”
“So what if they were to discover my identity? It doesn''t matter as long as it can save Nat, and she
and Daddy are both fine. Besides, they''d need time to look for me. Furthermore, I''d have gone for
training at Darz. Would they still be able to find me?” Anthony defended.
Benjamin narrowed his eyes a fraction. On second thought, that''s true.
“Therefore, you''ve already taken everything into consideration?”
“But of course! Do you really think I''d lost my senses?” Anthony retorted.
Hearing that, Benjamin bobbed his head. “But still, you''ve got to be more careful when you go out
after having posted that bounty list yesterday. Even Thalia phoned about this matter, so you should
be aware of its gravity!”
Needless to say, Anthony was well aware of that. “Kyle phoned me as well yesterday.”
Benjamin lifted his eyes to him. “And?”
“I made my stance clear. While I didn''t tell him the specifics, ultimately, he''s still on my side!”
Anthony announced calmly.
“That''s because he doesn''t know your rtionship with Daddy, right?” Benjamin questioned.
Anthony nodded.
“If he knew, things would''ve probably been different,” Benjamin muttered. The thought of that alone
gave him a headache.
“Yeah. But no matter what, I''m still very d about his attitude. He truly regards me as a friend!”
Anthonymented.
“There''s no doubt about that,” Benjamin seconded. All of a sudden, something urred to him. “Oh
yes, he must be determined to rush over to lend you a hand after learning that you''re going head-to-
head with Vermillion Base, huh?”
Anthony bobbed his head. “He said he''de over after settling Holden''s matter.”
Benjamin was startled for a second. “Then, our rtionship with Daddy won''t be able to remain
under wraps anymore at that time, no?”
“It doesn''t matter any longer. We''ll take things one at a step then. The most important thing at
present is to save Nat,” Anthony asserted.
Benjamin heaved a sigh. “I mean, what if Kyle insists on going against Daddy even after learning
the truth?”
Anthony went silent.
Truth be told, that possibility had never crossed his mind.
“That wouldn''t happen, would it?” he riposted.
“Why not? The grievance between Darz and DX runs far deeper than we can imagine. I think
anything might happen!” Benjamin argued.
Anthony''s brows scrunched together.
“I think it''s better to keep Kyle froming over for the time being,” Benjamin suggested.
“Then, I''ll leave that to you?”
“I—”
“If you hadn''t betrayed me yesterday, it wouldn''t have urred to him that it was me!” Anthony
added.
“How would I know that you still had this n?”
“That isn''t important. Since you were the one who leaked my identity, I''m leaving this matter to you!”
In the end, Benjamin was left without a retort.
Finally, I know what it means to shoot myself in the foot!
Upon receiving no response from him, Anthony treated it as acquiescence.
Although Benjamin appeared immensely docile, he actually had a lot of tricks up his sleeve. For that
reason, Anthony absolutely believed that he could do it.
He fastened his eyes on Benjamin. “The most important thing now is to figure out a way to stop
Daddy!”
“Just tell him directly.”
“Didn''t you see what happened earlier? The instant I mentioned Nat, he didn''t even allow me any
opportunity to speak. That aside, I believe that his attitude would remain the same even if we were
to tell him about it. He wouldn''t allow us to get involved!” Anthony countered.
As Benjamin mulled it over, he felt that it indeed made sense.
That''s certainly something he would have no qualms doing.
“In that case, we''ll have Mr. Dave talk to him instead. They''ve been acquainted for many years, so
he''ll definitely be able to convince Daddy,” Benjamin proposed.
“Will that work?”
“We''ll just try our luck. Otherwise, do you have a better idea?” Benjamin asked.
“Fine, then. Hurry up and eat. After we''re done eating, we''ll go and look for Mr. Dave,” Anthony
relented.
The two boys immediately started wolfing down the food. After they had finished eating, they went
in search of Dave right away.
Unexpectedly, they bumped into a panicked-looking Dave just as they stepped out of the dining
room.
“Mr. Dave!” Anthony called out, instantly trotting over and scrutinizing him. “What''s wrong, Mr.
Dave? Did something happen?”
“Have you seen your daddy?” Dave cut straight to the chase.
