Chapter 520


    Kyle never mentioned how Anthony had dragged Darz into the mess.


    Anthony knew that it was because Kyle was protecting him by not raising the topic.


    However, he was not about to start talking about what Kyle was keeping quiet about.


    After all, Kyle was not actually going to do anything to him because of that. That was something


    both knew well.


    All of a sudden, a thought popped into Anthony''s head. A moment of hesitationter, he typed: Kyle,


    I have an idea.


    Kyle hummed and asked: Idea? What is it?


    Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    Anthony: I''d like to form the world''srgest hacker organization.


    Kyle: Huh? What? Are you telling me that you want to leave Darz?


    Kyle felt his heart ache after reading Anthony''s message.


    Anthony sighed before typing: That''s not what I meant. I just think that, although Darz is


    currently safe despite being involved in most things, others will surely be envious of Darz


    as it gets better and better. That''s why I want to form a specialized hacker group. Things will be


    much more convenient, and I''ll be in charge of it.


    Kyle froze momentarily when he registered Anthony''s words.


    He had to admit that Anthony''s idea was good despite how insane it sounded.


    Indeed, it was a sound idea for him.


    Moreover, with a major hacker group like that, Kyle could see the bright future Darz would have.


    With that thought in mind, Kyle forced himself to keep calm as he asked: Have you thought it


    through?


    Anthony answered: Yes. Frankly, I doubt I''ll be of any help with your tasks, but this is something I


    can do. Also, this group can be under Darz as a branch or something along those lines. A


    diverse development. This is the only way I think Darz will be able to catch up with the others.


    Eventually, we''ll be the best among the hacker groups!


    Kyle realized that Anthony was an even more wildly imaginative person than him.


    Back at the start, Kyle had taken everything, including bluffing, to persuade Anthony to join


    Darz. Yet, as it turned out, Anthony was even better than him at churning all sorts of far-fetched


    ideas.


    Still, Kyle was tempted by his idea.


    Furthermore, with Anonymous'' influence, things might actually go smoother than he expected.


    Therefore, after brief contemtion, Kyle typed: Good. What else can I possibly say to this?


    Anthony asked: Does that mean you''re agreeing to it?


    Kyle responded: What is there for me to disagree with? Also, it''s not as if you''ll drop the idea if I


    disagree with you.


    Anthony chuckled and messaged: You''re right. Your disagreement means nothing.


    Kyle huffed and questioned: Then what was the point of asking me about this?


    Anthony: Just something procedural. You are my partner, after all.


    Kyle could not believe that someone he had never met offline would have so much trust in him.


    Furthermore, that was a trust even people who met in real life might not have for each other.


    He had to admit that Anthony was an unruly individual.


    A moment of ruminationter, Kyle wrote: Have you thought about how you should go about it? Is


    there anything you need me to do?


    Anthony: No, it''s fine. I''ve already started making arrangements. Let''s wait for this period of time to


    pass first. When the timees, I''ll exin it to you in detail.


    Augh escaped Kyle at that. He typed: You''re not even asking for my agreement. You''re just


    informing me about it.


    Anthony: Be grateful. It''s already great that I''m telling you about this before I form the group.


    Furthermore, I know that you''ll agree with it. How can you possibly pass up on a free lunch like this?


    There was a pause on Kyle''s side before he answered: People who know me too well don''t tend to


    have happy endings.


    Anthony: Such as?


    Kyle: Can''t tell you about the others, but if it''s you, I might have to keep you in Darz for the rest


    of your life!


    Anthony cringed before replying: That sounds cheesy.


    Kyle: Screw you.


    In the middle of their chat, someone knocked on Anthony''s room door.


    Anthony lifted his head to look at Benjamin, who immediately understood what his brother wanted.


    “I''ll take a look.”


    With that, he walked toward the entrance and opened the door.


    When Benjamin saw Natasha, he muttered, “Nat?”


    Natasha queried, “Can Ie in?”


    Without missing a beat, Benjamin stepped aside to open a path for Natasha.


    Instead of hiding anything from Natasha, Anthony smiled at her. “Nat, what are you talking about?


    Of course, you cane in! We''re delighted to have you here!”


    Natasha raised a brow at Anthony''s joke. “You''ve solved the problem?”


    “Mhm!” Anthony nodded. “It was a piece of cake!”


    Natasha wanted to ask for more details, but she dropped the idea after hearing Anthony''s response.


    “Well, I''m just here to see if you need my help,” Natasha told them.


    Anthony lifted his brows and asked, “Nat, you''ll help us if we need help?”


    To his surprise, Natasha shook her head and uttered in determination, “No.”


    Anthony stared at her wide-eyed. “Then why did you say that?”


    Natasha paused for a second before answering, “I don''t mind guiding you, however.”


    Instantly, Anthony''s eyes lit up.


    It was rare for Natasha to agree to guide them.


    It was an opportunity that no one else could get despite wanting it.


    Furthermore, that was all Anthony wanted to hear from Natasha. He wanted to hear that he was


    different from others. No matter how mature he was for his age, he would always be the little boy


    who wanted to be special to Natasha.


    However, Anthony knew about Natasha''s principles. Even if Natasha wanted to intervene, he would


    not let her do so.


    He hoped that Natasha could continue to stick to her principles—to be herself forever. That was


    why he wanted to grow up and be stronger.


    As those thoughts crossed his mind, he smiled at Natasha sweetly and in admiration.


    Natasha nced at them and beamed. “All right, it''s gettingte. You should rest early.”


    When Anthony saw Natasha leaving, he quickly hurried after her. “Nat, you should rest early too. I''ll


    be watching over Daddy with Benjamin, so be at ease!”


    Natasha turned around to look at her sons. They were still children, but their gifts meant that they


    became far more mature than they should be.


    “It''s fine. You''re still growing, and you need your good night''s sleep. I''ll keep watch at night,” she told


    them.


    “But...”


    “End of discussion,” she said.


    Anthony dared not say anything else in protest. “All right.”


    Thus, Natasha said, “Good night!”


    “Good night!”


    “Good night, Nat!” Benjamin chimed in.


    Natasha then looked at them onest time before leaving the room.


    After closing the door, Anthony turned around and tilted his head in contemtion.


    Staring at him, Benjamin asked, “What nefarious n are you cooking up this time?”


    “Don''t you realize that there''s something different about Nat after she came back?”


    “Different? Like how?”


    Anthony hummed.
