You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 897

After some thought, Anthony replied, “It's not out of the question if that was necessary.”

Dave narrowed his eyes, leaning in closer with curiosity. “By the way, I heard the Darknetz has an unmanned anti-submarine system with over ten thousand drones and is very good in battle. Is that true?”

Anthony put a mysterious smile on his face toward Dave's question.

That question was a little over the line.

He kept his smile. With a hint of mischief in his eyes, he asked, “What say you, Mr. Dave?”

“How would I know? If I knew, I wouldn't be asking you.” Dave spoke with a casual tone as if they were making small talk.

Anthony squinted his eyes. Then in a low voice, he said, “Mr. Dave, if you were just an ordinary person, it wouldn't matter if I told you. However, you know very well that we are on opposing sides. What you have asked was probing for secrets.”

“It was just a casual question,” Dave said casually, knowing he could not admit it.

Anthony did not rush to say anything. He gazed around the room before settling on him and asked, “Mr. Dave, I heard that the DX Group has a treasure vault filled with countless treasures, and they cost a king's ransom! Is that true?”

Dave was speechless.

Anthony looked at him with an innocent smile, with a face of pure innocence.

It's just casual chatter...

Dave looked at Anthony, pursing his lips.

Right then, Anthony spoke up. “Why aren't you talking, Mr. Dave?

“What do you think?”

“How would I know? It was just a casual question,” Anthony said, retaining his image of being utterly harmless.

Dave looked at him. “Do you really think it was just a casual question?”

“Mr. Dave, don't ask others to do what you don't want to do. However, if you answered my question, I might just answer yours,” Anthony said with a smile.

Dave stared at him for a moment. Despite his young age, he was very cautious, and his logical thinking was impeccable.

He would become the next Kenneth in time. No, he's even better than Kenneth.

Narrowing his eyes, Dave waved his hand. “It was no fun talking to you. You're too cunning for your age!”

Anthony moved a bit closer to him. “Oh, come on, Mr. Dave! I'm just a little kid. Couldn't you tell me about it as if you were telling me a story?”

Dave looked at him. “I give you an inch, and you'll take a mile, huh?”

“Mr. Dave, I'm just a child.”

Anthony portrayed the image of a child so incisively and vividly, leaving Dave speechless.

Eventually, Dave looked at him patiently and asked, “Do you really want to know?”

“Yes!”

“It's false!” Dave said.

Anthony nodded while pondering.

“How about the drones?” Dave raised his eyebrow.

“It's true!” Anthony nodded, looking serious.

Dave looked at him. Yet, he could not discern if he had told the truth.

“Are you serious?” Dave found it hard to believe what Anthony said.

“Of course! Why? Do you like it, Mr. Dave?” Anthony asked.

“Nah, I'm just curious.”

“Should I bring a few for you to study about it, Mr. Dave?” Anthony asked.

Dave felt something was amiss.

Anothony could not even speak about it a moment ago, and now he could give them away?

“Are you kidding me?” Dave asked.

“Of course not!” Anthony said in a firm tone.

Dave narrowed his eyes and sized Anthony up. He felt there was something more behind the words that the child said.

“I'm not being skeptical here, but if you gave them away, would the other members of the Darknetz agree?” Dave asked.
