You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 493

Anthony had just agreed to the friend request when Kenneth sent him a message.

It read: I've heard a lot about you.

Although it seemed like a polite greeting, Anthony could feel a shiver running down his spine as he read the message. He could almost picture the regal pose that Kenneth had and the coldness flashing in his eyes as he typed out the message.

He's my daddy, all right. No matter what kind of situation or person he's facing, he always stays calm and elegant. Well, I have to deal with this sooner or later anyway.

Anthony thought about it and replied with: Likewise.

Soon, he received another message from Kenneth. It read: I heard that you gathered a lot of people in the uninhabited zone with the intention of fighting Vermillion Base because of Nat. For that, I'm thanking you on her behalf.

Anthony was at a loss for words.

I can't believe Daddy just went straight to the point like this. He just staked his claim on Natasha with a few words. Thank the stars I'm not his love rival. Otherwise, I reckon he'd piss me off to no end.

With that thought in mind, Anthony decided to continue with the act since everything had been set in place.

He typed: When it comes to me and her, there's no need for words of gratitude between us.

After sending out that message, he only waited for a few seconds before he got a reply that read: You're right. She's never been good at expressing her gratitude, so that's why I'm doing it for her.

Anthony was rendered speechless once again.

He realized that Kenneth could be particularly petty when it came to matters related to Natasha.

Knowing that they were going nowhere by continuing with this pointless banter, he decided to go straight to the point: If the only reason you're messaging me is to express your gratitude, I can tell you now that I have received it. If there's nothing else, let's end our conversation here.

Kenneth replied: I know you have done a lot for Nat. There's actually another reason why I was looking for you.

Anthony: What is it?

Kenneth: In two days' time, we'll be launching an attack against Vermillion Base's hackers. I'd like to invite you to join us.

Anthony stared at the message. So this is the reason why he was looking for me.

Heaving a sigh of relief, he pondered over the matter for a moment before replying: Join you? I'm afraid it won't be a joint effort in taking down Vermillion Base if I join you. It'll be a solo mission with me doing all the work.

Although his words sounded arrogant, Anonymous was just so capable that he more than had the right to be so haughty.

Happy that he wouldn't need to spare too much effort nor time into this should Anonymous join him, Kenneth replied: Well, I don't mind if you want to do it alone.

With a frown between his brows, Anthony was left wordless for the umpteenth time.

What the hell is with that reply? Can we continue the conversation normally?

At that moment, Anthony felt like all his words were falling on deaf ears.

Still frowning, he replied: What if I don't agree to join you?

Kenneth: You will.

Anthony: What makes you so sure that I'll agree?

Kenneth: Because this matter has something to do with Nat.

Kenneth was sure that he would be able to enlist Anonymous' help since the latter had already willingly gathered so many people to fight against Vermillion Base.

Anonymous: You're right. I'd do anything for her. Are you jealous?

Kenneth: Nat's heart belongs to me and me only.

Anthony did not expect such a reply from him and was left speechless.

I'm amazed by his ability to turn every conversation into a negotiation.

At that moment, he was made aware of why Kenneth was so successful in his business.

He keeps avoiding topics that he deems unfavorable to him while using his own way to steer the conversation toward a conclusion he has decided on. Everything he does and says is so that he can achieve his own goals.

Staring at the message, the memory of how Kenneth had badmouthed Anonymous in front of him two days ago flashed across his mind. Hmm... Now's a good chance for me to take revenge.

Anonymous: Don't you think you're being too full of yourself?

Kenneth: Everything I've said thus far is simply facts.

Anonymous: Is that so?

Kenneth: Yes.
