Chapter 661
Naturally, Anthony knew what Kyle was nning, and he immediately declined, “It''s okay. Just let
me know when you have news of her.”
“But isn''t it easier to talk about it face to face?” asked Kyle.
“You''re too far from my ce. I''m afraid you''ll be exhausted by traveling all the way here. Besides,
I''m just worried something might happen to Thalia. Still, no one is a match for her skills even if she''s
injured, so you really don''t have to go through so much trouble.”
“It''s no big deal. In fact, it''s only right for me to do this for members of Darz. Just tell me where
you are. I promise to arrive there as soon as possible.”
“You''re managing hundreds of people in Darz. I can''t possibly make you travel back and forth
for the two of us. Just stay put in Darz. They need you there.”
“You two are my most capable members. It''s only logical that I regard you two with great
importance. If not, what will the members of Darz think of me? Don''t feel burdened and just tell
me where you are.”
“No, no. The members will have problems with it if you travel back and forth for both of us. You''re
the manager. You can''t just leave whenever you want. That''s breaking the rules. What if the
members do the same in the future?”
“Don''t worry. I''ll take care of this well.”
“I can''t trouble you because of my private matters. I believe Thalia thinks the same, too. Don''t worry.
I''ll do as I see fit.”
Kyle was rendered speechless.
They argued several rounds, but Anthony was determined not to let hime.
Unable to hold in his temper, Kyle fumed, “At the end of the day, you just don''t have the guts to
meet me, Anonymous. Are you going to hide behind theputer for the rest of your life? Do you
have something to hide?”
“And you just want to see me, don''t you? Why are you so interested in me?” Anthony countered,
using the same tone instead of getting mad.
“Exactly. I''m curious. I want to know what kind of person you are. Tell you what. No matter what you
say, I''ll definitely find you one day. You can''t run from me.”
Kyle''s curiosity was at its peak, yet Anthony would not meet him. Even Thalia would not say a word.
He had every reason to suspect Anthony.
“You won''t be able to find me if I actually go into hiding,” said Anthony confidently.
“Haha! There''s a limit to bragging, you know? I don''t believe a single word you say,” Kyle said.
“Oh? Should we give it a go, then?”
“Fine. Let''s do it.”
“Do you want to make a bet?”
“Sure. What do you want to bet on?” asked Kyle, taking the bait.
“I won''t take advantage of you. Let''s make a simple bet. Whoever loses has to ept one request
from the other person.”
“That''s not a simple one.”
In reality, the simplest things were always the hardest.
“What now? Are you chickening out?”
“Chickening out? Hah! Remember. This was your suggestion. You''ll have to lick my boots if you
lose.”
“Okay. That''s a deal, then.”
“Deal.”
Just as Anthony was about to hang up, a thought urred to him. “Wait. We''ve got to put a
deadline to this deal, right?” he asked.
“Fine. How long, then?”
“You should decide. After all, you''re the one who''s on the losing end.”
“Okay. One month it is.”
“Will that be too short?”
“It''s enough.”
“I''m a little worried about the time frame. What about two months? I''ll give you an extra month.”
“Don''t you think you''re being too arrogant?” Kyle growled. Anthony could even hear him gritting his
teeth.
Anthony chuckled. “I''ve always been like this. Have you forgotten about it?”
“Very well. If that''s the case, you better not regret it. I''ll be waiting for you to lick my boots.”
“Right.”
“Anonymous!”
“Goodbye.”
With that, Anthony ended the call.
He was still holding the phone as his lips curled into a half-hearted smile.
Benjamin, who had been listening at the side with his legs crossed, studied Anthony''s expression,
which looked like Natasha''s. Anthony looked unbothered, yet excited about what would happen.
Having heard every word of the phone call, Benjamin asked, “Why must you go to such lengths?”
Anthony put away the phone and nced at his brother. “What can I do, then? I can''t possibly let
hime, nor can I let him know I''m at DX''s base. He''ll only think I''m a traitor.”
Pausing momentarily to think, Benjamin nodded. “True. But don''t you find yourselves a little
childish?”
“Are we? Maybe this grudge can be resolved,” said Anthony.
“Are you talking about the bet?” Benjamin raised his brow.

Anthony nodded in response.
Narrowing his eyes, Benjamin asked, “Is that even appropriate?”
“Do you have a better idea, then?”
Benjamin stared at Anthony and shook his head.
“With just the three of us, it''s only a matter of time before Kyle and Daddy meet. At least this bet will
give us a chance,” exined Anthony.
Benjamin could almost picture the duo encountering each other, and he figured it would be tragic.
“I hope so,” he murmured.
“All right. Stop thinking so much. Let''s go out and have a stroll. Perhaps we''ll bump into Thalia,”
suggested Anthony.
“Will we?”
“Let''s try.”
“All right.”
They were about to leave when Anthony suddenly thought of something. He walked over to the
desk and took theptop with him.
As they walked out, Benjamin analyzed, “Based on Kyle''s tone, he must have a way to contact
Thalia.”
“That''s what I thought, too. Thalia''s an important member of Darz, after all. He should be
extremely worried. The fact that he could waste so much time arguing with me shows he has a way
to contact her.”
“Forget it. I can''t even wait here calmly. Let''s go out and have a look.”
Anthony nodded. Just as they were going downstairs, they bumped into Natasha and Keh.
Seeing Anthony holding theptop, Natasha asked, “Where are you two going?”
Anthony answered, “Thalia left without saying anything. Benjamin and I are worried, so we''re going
out to search for her.”
Natasha frowned. “What did you say?”
“I''m guessing Spencer and Thalia got into an argument, so she left without a word. She''s still
injured, so...” Anthony did not finish his sentence, but his message was clear.
With surprise written all over her face, Natasha turned around and nced at Keh.
