A near distance away, Dave looked on, his brows creased deeply.
He glanced back over his shoulder at Natasha, only to see that she had her gaze fixed intently on Anthony and her fists clenched tightly.
He knew that they were taking a chance.
But in his vocabulary, that word had never existed.
He quietly raised the gun and aimed it at Holden.
If the latter dared to act recklessly, he would certainly not show him any mercy.
Holden looked at Anthony, his gaze dark and indecipherable. The gun he held in hand was unwavering, a picture of absolute resolve.
At that moment, everyone held their breaths.
Just then, two figures sprinted out at breakneck speed.
“Count me in!”
“And me!”
Benjamin and Denise came out, running quickly to stood right beside Anthony.
Upon seeing them, everyone was slightly taken aback.
Meanwhile, Anthony swung his gaze at them. “Who told you both to come out? Get back in there quickly!”
Benjamin looked at him. “You're not Daddy's only child, Tony. Why can't I step out for him?”
“Cut it—”
“Stop arguing. I'm Dad's favorite person, so only I have that privilege!” Denise interjected with a hint of melancholy in her voice.
Taking a deep breath, Anthony bore his eyes into them. “Go back in right now!”
However, the duo ignored him completely. They turned around and looked at Holden. “This was never just your matter. Either we leave together, or we'll bear it together!”
Anthony stared at them, his brows furrowed deeply.
Right then, Holden also had his eyes on them.
Anthony was already enough trouble for him, yet two more children had shown up.
He knew full well that the matter had nothing to do with them. All he wanted was to kill Kenneth, but they simply wouldn't give him the chance to do so.
“Holden, I truly regret what happened to you. But I need to tell you that we've verified that it wasn't my daddy who killed your girlfriend. I hope you can calm down,” Denise said morosely while looking up at him.
“Verified it? How so?” Holden asked.
“Back then, Kyle claimed he shot my daddy. We examined his body, but there was no such wound at all. Therefore, the person who killed your girlfriend wasn't my daddy.”
Hearing that, Holden snorted. “A scar is enough to verify it? Do you know that there is a technology now that can remove scars?” he questioned.
“Daddy has countless scars on him, but not that particular one. If he really wanted to remove them, why didn't he get rid of the others as well?” Denise countered.
“Perhaps he wanted to escape from what's happening today?” Holden argued.
Denise looked at him, suddenly at a loss for words.
No matter what she said, Holden still didn't believe it.
At that moment, Benjamin, who was standing beside her, interjected, “Don't waste your breath, Denise. People are often reluctant to believe something they didn't see with their own eyes.”
Upon hearing that, Holden shifted his gaze to Benjamin. “Who said so? How about this? Bring Kenneth out. I want to see for myself. If he really doesn't bear the scar, perhaps I'll believe it.”
Despite his words, everyone could see the hatred blazing in his eyes. That utterance was nothing more than an excuse to lure them to bring Kenneth out.
Anthony eyed him. “I know you won't believe anything I say right now, Holden. How about this? Give me some time. I will find the evidence for you!”
