Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 1001

As Thalia finished speaking, Anthony immediately responded, “There's no need.”

Thalia turned to look at him, furrowing her eyebrows. “Wait, what do you mean by that expression? Are you disgusted with me?”

“No, it's just that I genuinely don't need it,” Anthony replied.

Thalia frowned, finding it somewhat amusing. “Anthony Watson, don't you know a good thing when you see it? Let me tell you, so many kids over there in training specifically requested to meet me by name. I'm a star, and I'm telling you that being trained by me is your honor, you know?”

“Is that so?” Anthony asked.

“Yes it is.”

Anthony couldn't stop the slight smile from curving his lips.

“Besides, if you manage to please me and keep me happy, who knows, I might go easy on you when the time comes!” Thalia continued.

“That's precisely why I don't need it,” Anthony said.

“What do you mean?”

“We're too familiar with each other, and you might hesitate to go all out against me. But one time when you decide to go easy, it could be my fatal blow. So, there's really no need for it,” Anthony explained calmly.

Thalia chuckled as she listened. “Not bad, you have good insight into this. You understand!”

Anthony, still looking straight ahead, said, “If I'm going to do it, I want to become the strongest.”

Seeing Anthony's ambitious demeanor, Thalia suddenly thought back to her own childhood. During that time, she had done everything in her power to break free from her dysfunctional family. It wasn't until she met Spencer...

Even though she had enjoyed a period of stability with Spencer, she had never given up on her desire to become stronger.

With this in mind, she raised her lips slightly and looked at Anthony. “Don't worry. I may say those things, but going easy on someone won't happen.”

Anthony glanced at her.

“I mean it; trust me!” Thalia insisted.

“Even if I agree, Kyle won't,” Anthony replied.

Thalia was taken aback. She looked at him and asked, “How do you know?”

“Because my concerns align with his,” Anthony explained.

“You're really doubting my sense of professionalism by saying that!” Thalia said, clearly displeased.

Upon hearing her, Anthony gave her a side look. “You see, we both know you too well.”

Thalia wanted to argue, but after a moment's thought, she said, “Fine, we'll see. Let's see if I can train you guys in the end!”

Anthony didn't say anything more. He turned his gaze to the outside.

Thalia glanced at him but refrained from further comments. She focused on the road, pressed the accelerator, and drove back at a faster speed.

On the other side, after Thalia and Anthony had left, Holden returned to the group.

Kyle remained seated, deep in meditation. Holden approached and sat down beside him. “What's on your mind?”

Kyle heard him and turned to look. “You're back?”

Holden inquired, “What's bothering you? You seem lost in thought.”

“It's nothing... just work-related stuff,” Kyle replied.

Holden studied him. “Did Thalia say something to you?”

“Um...”

“Can't say?” Holden raised an eyebrow as he observed Kyle's evident dilemma.

“It's not... I'm just thinking about how to tell you,” Kyle replied hesitantly.

Holden chuckled at his apparent discomfort. “All right, take your time to figure it out then.”

Kyle hesitated for a moment and then asked, “Aren't you even a bit curious?”

Holden shrugged. “Curious about what?”

Kyle wanted to say something, but he couldn't quite find the words as he watched Holden's nonchalant demeanor.

“It's probably best if all these troublesome matters come to you. It saves me a lot of hassle,” Holden remarked.
