Chapter 815 Forgetting His Identity


    Denise calmly cocked a brow upon hearing the words. “That''s why the same applies to them. Given


    the possibility of the matter escting, it is impossible to just let it slide.”


    Kyle''s eyes darkened in response. “This is different. He is now alone, and we have the backing of


    Darz!”


    “Not necessarily. You just said so yourself that he has a group of die-hard followers. If Darz


    were to strike, these men would not stand idly by and watch,” Denise rebutted him.


    She had tried her best to tolerate Kyle''s maligning of her father and pretended not to care. Yet,


    Kyle''s increasingly arrogant words had crossed her threshold. After all, that was her beloved father


    the former was disparaging.


    Nheless, Kyle didn''t think much of it as he refuted her, “That''s why I don''t think there''s a


    solution to the issue yet.”


    Denise raised her brows. “In that case, there''s no need to solve it at all.”


    Her statement confounded Kyle.


    Why do I sense something amiss?


    His eyes narrowed at Denise. “Why are you speaking strangely? Whose side are you on anyway?”


    “I...” Staring back at him, Denise realized that she had almost forgotten that she was a member of


    Darz after getting carried away. With that thought in mind, she changed her tact by dering


    with a smile, “On our side, of course!”


    “But you don''t sound like you are!” Kyle countered.N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    “Exactly! I''m thinking from their perspective. Only by knowing what the enemy thinks can we defeat


    them. Haven''t you heard of the saying ''know thy enemy'' before?” Denise threw the question back at


    him. “All I''m doing is reminding everyone not to underestimate the enemy. What if he didn''t retire


    and grew more powerful instead?”


    Her words drew a suspicious look from Kyle. Despite having doubts about her stance and attitude,


    he didn''t think too much about it on the ount that she was still a child.


    As for the points she raised, he did see the reason in them.


    “We can''t discount that possibility. After all, it wouldn''t be easy for someone like him to retire,” Kyle


    commented.


    Denise nodded in agreement. “That''s what I thought.”


    After taking a deep breath, Kyle retracted his gaze and looked at them. “Enough talk of this. No


    matter what, you guys shouldn''t bother yourself with DX. It''s also for the sake of your own safety,”


    He finally concluded the discussion with a brief summary.


    Despite exchanging nces with each other, Benjamin, Anthony, and Denise didn''tment any


    further.


    It was then that Kyle looked in Miguel''s direction and asked abruptly, “By the way, who is this?”


    “I...” Sitting opposite Kyle, Miguel had no idea how to introduce himself.


    He sensed a potential problem after listening to their conversation. Although he was considered a


    member of DX, it wasn''t official. Thus, he was afraid of having his head lopped off in the event his


    identity was discovered.


    “Oh, he''s my apprentice.” Anthony took over the introductions.


    Miguel nodded immediately, “That''s right. I''m his apprentice.”


    “Since when do you have one?” Kyle asked.


    “What''s wrong? Is there a problem?” Anthony retorted.


    “No, you''re invincible. Whatever you say goes,” Kyle replied.


    Before Anthony could breathe a sigh of relief, Kyle added, “When will he be joining us?”


    “Huh? What do you mean by ''joining us?’” A baffled look descended upon Miguel''s face.


    “As his apprentice, it goes without saying that you''ll be one of us,” Kyle exined.


    Thalia, who was in the midst of drinking water, couldn''t help but cough.


    This rtionship is getting increasinglyplicated. It''s going to be difficult to clean up this mess!


    Upon hearing Kyle''s words, Anthony, too, nced at Miguel, who looked shocked. Dave would kill


    me if he found out about it.


    Noticing thetter''s hesitation, Kyle questioned, “What''s the matter? Do you not want to join us?”


    “I...” While Miguel was still racking his brains for an answer, Anthony stepped in. “Are you that


    desperate to recruit just about anyone? Do you even know his background?”


    “What does it matter when you''re the one who has vetted him?” Kyle questioned. “Besides, am I the


    one trying to recruit someone indiscriminately, or are you the one who has done so without


    checking?”


    “What has my taking in an apprentice got anything to do with you?”


    Kyle gave him the side-eye before exining tly, “Anyone in our field is not going to ept him


    once they learn that he''s your apprentice.”


    “That''s not true. I''m not going to listen to your nonsense anymore!” Anthony interrupted. “Why would


    someone not want my apprentice? They should feel honored that he has received my guidance!” he


    disputed the assertion vehemently.


    “In the eyes of the public, your apprentice is a talent groomed for Darz. Who in their right mind


    would take on someone like that?” Kyle pressed on.


    The statement came as a rude awakening for Anthony. “Hmm, you do have a point.”


    “That''s why this is for his own good. Besides, how many organizations have better benefits than


    Darz?”


    Anthony was rendered speechless, for he couldn''t deny the truth in Kyle''s words.


    Amidst his silence, Kyle turned to Miguel. “When you''re back, send your details to your master. I''ll


    get the paperwork done for you as soon as possible.”


    “C-Can I say no?” Miguel finally objected.


    “What?” Kyle was amused by the response. Given that joining Darz was a dreame true for


    many, this was the first time he heard someone turn the offer down.


    Sensing Kyle''s displeasure, Miguel exined, “I''m someone unambitious and don''t enjoy submitting


    to authority. All I want to do is spend time doing research onputers.”


    Kyle''s eyes narrowed. “Really?”


    As if he could anticipate what Kyle was about to say, Anthony interjected, “Enough talk about this. I


    know you''re worried about losing talent, but am I not enough? Also, don''t interfere with my taking an


    apprentice. Let someone else worry about it for it shouldn''t be you.”


    Kyle responded with anguid raise of his brows. “Is it that obvious?”


    A smirk shed across Anthony''s face. “If only you didn''t repeat your methods all the time, I


    wouldn''t have been able to see through you so easily.”


    Kyle let out a chuckle as he replied, “Got it. I''ll be more creative next time.”


    “For goodness sake, have more sincerity, please!” Anthony added.


    As Kyle leaned back into his chair in nonchnce, a serious look descended upon his eyes. “I''ve


    always been sincere. Otherwise, I would have failed to lure you into my trap, wouldn''t I?”


    The mention of the past triggered a deep sigh from Anthony. “Back then, I infiltrated the organization


    out of curiosity and didn''t expect to be trapped by you at all. That said, I didn''t remember sincerity


    ying a role in it.”
