You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 473

After racking his brain, Anthony reassured Kenneth, “Daddy, there's no need for you to be worried about Anonymous. He doesn't pose a threat to you whatsoever.”

“Worried?” The words caused Kenneth to raise his brow. “Do you think I'm worried?”

“Um, are you not?” Anthony questioned, for the jealousy Kenneth was emitting couldn't be any more obvious.

Unexpectedly, Kenneth let out a chuckle before a contemptuous expression descended upon his face. “Despite his capability on the internet, he's just someone who hides behind a computer. In real life, do you think I'll see him as a threat?”

Anthony was taken aback.

Even though Daddy doesn't know that I'm Anonymous, no one can take such words lying down. After all, a man's pride can never be challenged.

At that moment, Anthony felt as if there was something stuck in his throat. He suppressed his emotions and calmly rebutted, “Daddy, how do you know that he's incompetent in real life? Considering how capable he is on the internet, I'm sure he's equally impressive in real life.”

Kenneth merely laughed with disdain.

Nevertheless, Anthony continued to endure the humiliation.

“Remember, a really ambitious man will never be satisfied by staying behind the scenes. That's the reason why he's incompetent,” Kenneth said confidently, his eyes brimming with certainty.

Anthony's mind went blank as he looked at his father.

Kenneth's words had hit the nail on the head.

It was true that he never wanted to stay behind the scenes forever. Not only did he want to dominate the internet, but he also wanted to do his best in real life.

Unfortunately, he was still a child and was not strong enough yet. Thus, without the ability to protect himself, he had no choice but to hide behind the screen.

Despite that, he never planned to hide forever.

Holding that thought, Anthony felt inexplicably depressed. Hence, he abandoned his initial plan to come clean.

Daddy, I'll let you continue feeling exasperated.

Noticing the minute change in Anthony's gaze, Kenneth asked, “What's wrong? Am I mistaken?”

Anthony maintained a faint smile on his face. “Daddy, let's not jump to conclusions. How do you know that he doesn't want to make himself known? Since you're unaware of his identity, you wouldn't recognize him even if he was standing in front of you.”

Kenneth narrowed his eyes. Anthony seems to be adamant about defending Anonymous today.

He threw the question back at Anthony. “If he was indeed standing right in front of me but refused to reveal his identity, wouldn't he be even more of a coward?”

Anthony was lost for words. He turned toward Benjamin and noticed that the latter was trying to hold back his laughter.

Anthony gave him a warning look, and Benjamin nodded, signaling that he would try to control himself.

Then Anthony returned his attention to Kenneth. “Daddy, the internet is the future, and Anonymous is a famous hacker. Do you know how many people fear and respect him? Aren't you being too harsh with your criticisms?”

“I don't look down on his capability, but aren't his skills inferior to that of Nat?”

Anthony was enraged at Kenneth's scathing comments.

“Daddy, he isn't less skilled than Nat. He's just letting her get ahead on purpose.”

“Oh? How do you know about that?”

“I...” Anthony stared at him. “Anonymous told me.”

Kenneth gave him the side-eye. “In that case, there's less reason for me to worry.”

“What do you mean?”

“If a man submits to a woman, he no longer stands a chance with her. Moreover, Nat—with her inherently dominant character—will not fall for someone like that.”

Anthony fell silent. He was in the midst of figuring out how to turn things around when Kenneth added, “Also, Anthony, when he says such things, he's probably just making excuses for his incompetence. You need to take his words with a pinch of salt.”

Anthony took a deep breath.
