Kenneth was unfazed by Spencer's compliment and merely stared at the latter. “Make sure to prep your men before the operation to avoid any unexpected event or accident from happening later on.”
“Don't worry. I'll do that,” Spencer replied.
“That's all, then.” With that, Kenneth got up to leave.
“Hold on,” Spencer piped up.
Kenneth turned around. “Is there anything else?”
Spencer contemplated for a few moments before looking at Kenneth and said, “Anthony visited me today, seemingly trying to fish for information. I think he might've figured out something.”
At the mention of that, Kenneth narrowed his eyes. “What about it?”
“I just want to let you know that even though they are young, that doesn't mean they lack endurance. Besides, they also have the right to know the truth.”
“This matter could drive even me and you mad, so why must the kids suffer too?”
Spencer was slightly taken aback upon hearing that.
“You'll understand when you have children in the future.” Kenneth didn't linger after saying that. He got to his feet and left.
Spencer narrowed his eyes as he watched Kenneth leave. Recalling matters related to the operation, he stood up and went to make the necessary preparations.
Upon exiting the laboratory, Kenneth went straight to Natasha's room.
However, he saw Anthony walking toward him after taking a few steps forward.
“Daddy,” Anthony greeted.
Kenneth nodded. “Why aren't you asleep so late at night?”
“I can't sleep, so I went to Nat's room to look for her, but she wasn't there,” Anthony replied.
Kenneth knitted his brows in response. “She's not in her room?”
Anthony shook her head.
“Perhaps she's taking a stroll outside. I'll go and find her.” Kenneth spun on his heel and strode away after saying that.
“Daddy.” Just then, Anthony called out to him.
Kenneth gazed at his son. “What's the matter?”
Anthony pondered briefly before uttering, “When do you plan to bring us shooting?”
“Anytime.”
“What about tomorrow?” Anthony asked.
Kenneth fell into a momentary daze before replying, “I'm not available tomorrow.”
“Why?”
Kenneth feigned nonchalance and said, “I have something to attend to with Dave tomorrow. I'm free to bring you shooting anytime after that.”
“May I know what will you be doing?”
Kenneth shook his head. “No.”
“Why?”
“Perhaps you want to consider Dave's suggestion to take over DX Group?” Kenneth raised his eyebrow.
“Daddy!”
“If you can't, quit probing,” Kenneth uttered firmly.
“If that's the case, you're not a member of DX Group too!”
“But I'll never do anything to harm DX Group.”
“I won't either!”
“You won't, but we can't say the same for the force supporting you.”
“I will never tell them.”
“No one can guarantee that.”
“Fine. You simply don't have faith in me, after all.”
“Kinship should not be an affecting factor in this matter. I need to follow the rules.”
“Fine.” Anthony arched his brows in resignation.
“Rest earlier if there's nothing else,” Kenneth reminded.
“I got it.”
Kenneth glanced at Anthony before turning around and leaving.
