Kyle understood clearly that Anthony was not a person who lacks discretion.
Even if the boy really did release the virus, he would surely hit the brakes at the last moment.
However, Kyle never imagined that Anthony was merely bluffing.
In fact, he fell for the bluff.
However, that also indirectly proved that Anthony was a reliable and capable individual.
If Anthony was joking, then that was all to it. He wouldn't really do anything outrageous.
With those thoughts in mind, Kyle felt both deep emotion and comfort. Well, I brought that upon myself. I brought him in, so I guess I'm the one who has to deal with him.
Watching Anthony intently staring at the computer screen, Kyle changed the subject and asked, “Have you seen it?”
“If I had, I wouldn't be so calm right now,” Anthony said without lifting his head.
“Like I said. Those things are not really valuable,” Kyle stated.
“Why keep the photo if it's worthless?” Anthony suddenly looked up and asked.
Kyle was taken aback. “I just happened to have some on my computer. I never got around to deleting them. When I saw your reward offer online, I thought I'd give them to you!”
After pondering for a moment, Anthony looked at him and asked, “Didn't you guys retrieve the surveillance footage initially?”
“We did.”
“Where's the footage, then?” Anthony immediately asked.
“It's busted.”
“Busted?”
“Yeah. I also wanted to go and see what exactly happened at that time. However, the hotel staff said that the surveillance footage were broken on the day of the incident, so there was no footage. What you see now is what I managed to find, but unfortunately, there's nothing of value.” Kyle said to him leisurely.
Anthony listened, his palm-sized face filled with confusion, “Is it really such a coincidence?”
“It's not a coincidence or accident. It's sabotage,” Kyle whispered.
“Sabotage?”
“That's correct.”
Anthony furrowed his brows. “Don't you find this matter quite strange?”
“What's so strange about it?” Kyle retorted, “Is it odd for sabotage to happen?”
“Isn't it?” Anthony asked.
“Then why don't you consider that maybe your father is the one who did this...” Kyle asked.
Upon hearing that, Anthony sneered, “If it's my dad, then he has even less reason to do so. He personally killed Holden's girlfriend. Why would he intentionally sabotage the surveillance footage?” Anthony asked, looking at him.
Upon hearing that, Kyle was taken aback.
That statement seemed to hold some truth.
However, he still argued, “Perhaps he was afraid of being condemned, so he deliberately sought someone to wreck the footage—”
“Why didn't he destroy it the day before, then? Why only after the incident? Besides, people had already witnessed it. What's the point of destroying the footage? Also, didn't he deny that he was the one who killed her? Why would he be afraid of others finding out?”
Looking at Anthony, Kyle was suddenly stunned silent.
After going through that round of argument, he realized that his own reasoning was somewhat shaky. On the contrary, Anthony's words indeed made some sense.
As he was hesitating, Benjamin, who was standing by his side, spoke up. “Even though Kenneth is my father, and my words may seem biased in his favor, I genuinely think that what my brother said makes more sense. There's no need for my father to go the extra mile.”
Kyle looked at him, his brows furrowed in concern.
