Whether others were going mad or not, judging by Kyle's expression, he was certainly on the verge of going crazy.
Anthony remained as calm and composed as ever. “You may think he's gone mad, but to me, this is trust. In comparison, I find Mr. Dave to be more courageous. People like him are the ones who truly have a vision. The future development of DX will not be bad.”
Kyle listened, his dark eyes narrowing slightly. “No. It's just... Why does this sound a bit off?”
“Is it?” Anthony asked.
“Is it not?” Kyle retorted.
“I'm just telling it like it is,” Anthony said nonchalantly.
Kyle laughed coldly. “You're clearly insinuating something.”
“Who am I insinuating?”
“Me!”
“Ah, so you understand.” Anthony raised an eyebrow, his eyes instantly filled with playful teasing.
Kyle was gobsmacked. Shouldn't he be denying it? Why did he say that?
Anthony looked at him with a playful smile. “I was worried you wouldn't understand, but now I'm relieved.”
He was speaking with such a deliberate tone.
Kyle looked at the boy, feeling as if his lungs were about to explode.
In the past, when they teased each other in the group, Anthony was the type who would say something surprising after staying quiet for a while. However, he rarely showed up, so it wasn't much of an issue. However, Kyle felt like he was about to be annoyed to death at any moment by Anthony.
Taking a deep breath, he tried hard to calm his emotions, then looked at Anthony. “Anthony, are you saying that I lack the courage and vision compared to Dave?”
Anthony nodded. “A little.”
“I'm giving you a minute to rephrase your words,” Kyle enunciated.
Even though Kyle was furious, Anthony remained calm and unworried. After all, Kyle had shown greater anger in the past.
Anthony thought he should tick Kyle off occasionally. Otherwise, some things would never change.
“I suggest you don't give me this minute, or I'm afraid I may say something even more provocative,” Anthony said nonchalantly.
“I'm giving you a minute to gather your thoughts not to let you do that but to make me not lose my temper.”
“I'm sorry, but this is indeed a bit challenging for me.”
Kyle looked at him, feeling like he was on the verge of going insane.
He seemed tolerant, yet he always seemed to be driven up the wall by a child.
Just then, Thalia suddenly opened her eyes. Thalia looked at him, “Now you understand how annoying this kid can be, right? Considering how long I've stayed by his side, you should know how hard it's been for me, right?”
Benjamin suddenly turned his head to look at her. “When did you wake up?”
“You all are so noisy. It'd be stranger if I didn't wake up,” Thalia said, turning her gaze to Kyle. “In any case, I want to apply for a reward. Just because of this kid, you should give me a six-month break to recover.”
Kyle's temper seemed to have quelled following Thalia's awakening. He looked at her and said, “Keep dreaming.”
Thalia furrowed her brows. “What do you mean by that? Shouldn't I be rewarded for this?”
“In that case, I reward you with an early return to the team, away from this kid,” Kyle said.
Thalia was speechless.
She glanced at Anthony, her long eyelashes fluttering. Then, she slowly began to speak. “Never mind. With Anthony's temper, he'll easily offend people if he goes out. I better stay with him to protect him.”
Kyle didn't know what to say.
