Inside the study, Dave looked at Anthony, who came in afterward, and said softly, “Close the door.”
Hearing that, Anthony locked the door behind him.
Dave settled down around the desk and then looked at Anthony. “You sit too!”
Anthony walked over and sat down in front of him. “Mr. Dave, what would you like to talk about?”
Dave looked at him, his deep brown eyes shimmering with an unusual light. “Since you've asked like this, I'll get straight to the point.”
“Okay.” Anthony nodded. Despite being a child, his face, strikingly similar to Kenneth's, held an indescribable maturity.
Dave stared at him intently, speaking in a low voice. “You went out with Thalia today to meet Holden and Kyle, didn't you?”
Speaking of which, Anthony was slightly taken aback.
He didn't speak but looked at Dave with the same gaze.
Seemingly knowing what Anthony was thinking, Dave said, “Don't worry. I have no intention of using you to deal with Darknetz. You don't need to be surprised about how I know. It's quite normal. Just like if I were to step into the territory of Darknetz, they would also get wind of it.”
Anthony looked at him, his eyes pitch black, and he still remained silent.
“I made a promise to your dad that I wouldn't reveal your identity to others, nor would I use you against Darknetz. So rest assured, my question has no other implications,” Dave said to him.
On that matter, Anthony still believed Dave.
He nodded. “I believe in you.”
“So, you have to tell me,” Dave said.
“Why?”
Dave narrowed his eyes, looking at him. He said, “Because I received a message that Holden is looking for your dad. As for the rest, you should understand without me saying it, right?”
Anthony's eyes instantly widened after hearing that.
“What's the matter? Are you surprised?” Dave asked.
Anthony's lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but no words came out when he opened his mouth.
Dave looked at him, then laughed and said, “Judging by your reaction, I reckon you have no idea about this?”
“I really don't know,” Anthony said softly.
Dave nodded. “All right. Since you don't know, there's nothing more to discuss. It's getting late. Go back to your room and rest.”
Anthony nodded, giving him a meaningful glance before getting up to leave.
However, after taking a few steps, he suddenly turned around, looked at Dave, and asked, “Mr. Dave, what do you plan to do about this?”
“What do you mean?” Dave asked.
“Regarding the matter of Holden looking for my daddy,” Anthony said.
Dave furrowed his brows slightly, then lazily sized Anthony up. “Shouldn't I be the one asking you? What do you plan to do?”
“I...”
“They still don't know about your relationship with your dad, do they?” Dave said.
After some thought, Anthony said, “Holden still doesn't know.”
“So, does Kyle know about this?”
“Yes,” Anthony said.
“What does Kyle plan to do?” Dave asked.
“I'm not sure. It wasn't me who said it. It was Thalia, so I have no idea what he's going to do,” Anthony honestly stated.
Dave pondered for a moment. “Kyle values talent and wouldn't let go easily. But this matter involves Holden, so he will definitely weigh his options carefully. However, once Kyle chooses Holden, you need to be careful.”
