Chapter 530
After a few days of recuperation, Keh''s wounds were almost healed.
It was just that his behavior annoyed everyone to no end.
At the sight of Natasha, his eyes would glimmer with delight, and he wouldn''t stop calling her “Nat,”
which caused everyone to be filled with disbelief.
That day, Dave was chatting with Keh downstairs about some serious matters.
“Now that Boss has assumed control of Vermillion Base, I heard he has earned more loyalty from
the men than General Will did,” Dave rted.
Keh responded with a smirk, “After biding his time for decades to get where he is now, he''s
naturally going to do his best to maintain his position.”
“I managed to capture some men from Vermillion Base. During the interrogation, they revealed that
Boss hasn''t given up looking for you and has already extended his reach here. Do you want to see
them?” Dave asked.
“There''s no such need,” Keh replied. “It''s normal for him not to give up. In fact, it would be
strange if he did.”
“What did you do to him to make him hate you so much?” Dave asked curiously.
Keh pondered for a moment. “Hmm... Maybe it''s because I stole a batch of his goods?
Kidnapped him and shot him? After the exchange, I made a fool out of him?”
“No wonder he wants to kill you.”
A smile shed across Keh''s face. “That will depend on whether he''s even capable of doing it.”
“To a warrior, humiliation is worse than death. Keh, his animosity toward you is no surprise at
all. You truly are as ruthless as ever,” Dave remarked.
Keh curled his lips. “It''s clear that he was the one who started it first.”
Dave never doubted Keh''s words.
Since his retirement, he was prepared to leave everything behind. If Boss hadn''t provoked Keh
first, thetter wouldn''t have gone this far.
“No matter what, you had better maintain your vignce for the time being.”
Just as Keh nodded, he suddenly remembered something. “By the way, Dave, there''s
something I need you to verify for me.”
At the sight of Keh''s serious expression, Dave inquired, “What is it?”
“Help me find a picture of Boss when he was a child.”
“Why do you need it?”
“I need to confirm something.”
Without further questions, Dave nodded. “All right.”
He had barely finished talking when he looked at Keh again. “Wait, shouldn''t you get your son
to help you with this?”
“My son? Which one?”
“Anthony!”
“What for?” Keh was clueless.
Dave cocked a curious brow. “Don''t tell me that you still don''t know?”
“Know what?”
Dave burst into suddenughter upon seeing the look of confusion on Keh''s face. His face tells
me he doesn''t know anything yet.
“What are youughing about?” Keh stared nkly at Dave.
“I was considering whether to tell you or to continue keeping you in the dark,” Dave teased.
“Tell me quickly or I''ll strangle you to death,” Keh warned.
After giving it a quick thought, Dave rted what happened the other day.
When Dave finished, Keh was stunned speechless.
“How can it...” said Keh a whileter.
“You don''t believe it?” Dave raised a brow.
“I find it hard to do so,” Keh replied.
“If I''m not wrong, your son is probably with Miguel now. Shall we drop by to take a look?” Dave
asked.
Thereafter, Keh gave the other man aplicated look.
Meanwhile, inside the hidden room, Anthony—lying downnguidly on his reclining chair—was
giving out instructions while popping grapes into his mouth.
“Faster. You need to pick up your pace. Given how slow you are, how are you going to be a
hacker? You might as well be a programmer,” Anthony remarked in a nonchnt tone.
“I''m going as fast as I can.”
“You call that fast?” Anthony narrowed his eyes with a contemptuous look on his face. “Why did I
ever take in a student who''s as dumb as you are?”
Miguel took a deep breath. “Why don''t you do it?”
“Fine, I will!” Anthony got to his feet and slipped into the former''s seat. “Just this once. Watch and
learn.”
With that, Anthony stared at the screen as his fingers danced across the keyboard at incredible
speed. Finally, hepleted the objective in less than a minute.
The demonstration stunned Miguel. “H-How did you do that?”
“Talent,” Anthony quipped with a cocked brow. Upon returning to his seat, he raised his eyes to be
greeted by the sight of Keh and Dave standing behind him.
Their sudden appearance gave him a shock.
“Daddy, Mr. Dave...”
Keh gave him a grim look. “Come with me.”

“Okay.”
After ncing at Miguel, Anthony put down his grapes before leaving with Keh.
When he walked past Dave, he gave thetter an usatory look but said nothing.
At the same time, Miguel''s trailed his master''s figure with a worried gaze.
“Dave, will my master be all right?” Miguel asked.
“Master?”
Cognizant that he had said something he shouldn''t have, Miguel retracted his gaze and continued
practicing his hacking skills.
When Dave took a look, his eyes narrowed ordingly.
Outside, Keh took a seat while Anthony stood in front of him.
Even though the man had his usual expression on which made it hard to discern his mood, Anthony
could recognize that his father was furious.
“Daddy... w-what is it?” Anthony asked.
“What do you think?” Keh threw the question back at his son.
Pursing his lips, Anthony racked his brain for an answer.
“Is Anonymous your master?” Keh stared at him.
Blinking, Anthony nodded when he saw the stern expression on his father''s face. “Yeah.”
Despite the solemn look on his face, Keh was cognizant that he had no right to me Anthony,
for he didn''t even know of his children''s existence until recently.
With that thought in mind, he suppressed the anger within him. “Anthony, I know that it was my fault
to have missed being by your side throughout your growth, but I did put in a lot of effort looking for
you and your siblings.”
Anthony, eyes widened, waited to hear what else Keh had to say.
Upon taking a deep breath, Keh continued, “Anthony, I''m not here to reprimand you, but I want
to know why you didn''t tell me earlier?”
“I-I didn''t know how to,” Anthony answered.
The grim look on Keh''s face didn''t ease at all. After a momentary pause, he said, “Forget it. It
doesn''t matter.” With that, he got up and prepared to leave.
Hmm? That''s all?
“Daddy, actually...”
“Don''t worry about it. Whatever that''s going on between the two of us will not affect you. As long as
she doesn''t mind, you''re free to do whatever you want.” Once he finished, Keh retracted his
gaze and left without turning back.
Um...
Despite Anthony''s urge to say something, the words never left his mouth.
The boy sighed as he watched Keh''s leaving silhouette.
The smell of jealousy in the air sure is intense.
Nheless, the thought of the jealous look on Keh''s face caused Anthony''s lips to
subconsciously curl into a smile.
It was then that Benjamin came up from behind. “Aren''t you worried that things are going to get out
of hand?”
Turning around to give the lurking Benjamin a look, Anthony replied, “How bad can it get? All this
while, Nat was the jealous one. It''s time the tables are turned. Besides, jealousy stirs feelings. Their
rtionship might improve because of the jealousy!”
“Are you sure?”
“Let''s see how the situation develops.” Anthony grinned before returning to the room.
Benjamin, too, followed suit.
