Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 1012

Kyle stood there and stared, momentarily unable to react.

Seeing that he remained motionless, Anthony looked up at him. “What are you waiting for? Didn't you say it's urgent?”

Only then did Kyle snap back to reality and say in a low voice, “I'll have someone bring it over.”

He walked to the table, dialed a number, and instructed the person on the other end of the line, “Have someone bring the cryptographic key to me.”

After receiving a response from the other party, he ended the call.

Soon, someone knocked on the door and walked in with the cryptographic key. “Here it is, Boss.”

Kyle took it and said, “You may leave.”

The person nodded, glancing at Anthony and Benjamin. Nonetheless, he did not think much about it and walked straight out.

After the door closed, Kyle handed the cryptographic key to Anthony. The latter took it and examined it, then plugged it into his computer and began working on cracking it.

Seeing that, Kyle immediately sat next to him. As he watched the boy's hands move swiftly, he said in a low voice, “This cryptographic key contains a lot of information on military arms as well as some contact information and so on. It's very important information. Our team tried all night to crack it but only managed to scratch the surface. Now, we have to decode it within twenty-four hours. That way, we can prevent the other party's next deal.”

“I understand,” Anthony replied with a nod. Staring at the computer, he started decrypting at top speed.

When Thalia saw Kyle sit down to watch, she shot Benjamin a look. “Come sit. I'm guessing we have to wait for a while.”

Benjamin walked over and sat down. After glancing at Anthony's screen, he remarked, “It won't take much longer.”

“How do you know?”

“Intuition.”

She cast him a skeptical look, clearly not believing him.

Kyle's gaze flicked toward Benjamin when he heard that. However, given the urgency, he remained silent and focused on Anthony's screen. While I'm not particularly proficient at this, I do know a little. Anthony's hands move very quickly, and his decryption approach is incredibly unique and unusual. If it were me, I'd never have been able to think of it.

Less than a few minutes later, Kyle widened his eyes in surprise. “Have you done it?”

Upon hearing that, Thalia immediately leaned her head closer. “That fast?”

“This cryptographic key presumably has a three-layer encryption. I've just broken through the first layer, which is considered the simplest,” Anthony sat calmly and explained. He did not even bother to turn his head and kept his gaze fixed on the screen, his expression serious.

Thalia abruptly turned to Kyle. “Your team couldn't crack even a single layer in a night?”

Kyle frowned, and a conflicted expression flashed across his handsome face. “They said they found a loophole. As for the rest... I'm not sure.”

“Aren't those people all carefully chosen by you? How could this happen?” she pressed.

He was about to say something when Anthony interrupted, “Indeed, it's because they found the loophole that I could crack it so quickly.”

Kyle raised his eyebrows when he heard that, and his gaze darted toward Thalia.

However, she pursed her lips and said, “Even if they did find it, they still failed to crack it, didn't they?”

“Thalia!” Kyle protested, staring at her.

“All right, fine. I know what you want to say. I'll stop talking, then,” she replied, deciding to keep her mouth shut.

He shot her an exasperated look, then turned his attention back to Anthony's screen.

Anthony continued focusing his attention on decoding the cryptographic key.
