Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 410

Chapter 410

Everyone looked at him in shock.

“Twenty-five seconds? What's going on?”

A weird glint flickered in Miguel's eyes as he curled his lips upward.

The crowd started commenting, “What happened? The difference wasn't this huge in the past!”

Miguel smirked smugly. He could tell that something had changed vastly.

“No way! Let's go for two more rounds.”

Cocking a brow, Miguel obliged.

After competing for umpteen rounds, the crowd had no choice but to admit defeat.

Miguel's speed was getting faster and faster each time, and his strategies were constantly changing. No one could read his mind nor predict his next move.

“Are you here to give us a hard time?” the crowd asked.

“Precisely!”

“Seriously, you weren't this great last time. What has gotten into you?” Everyone was flabbergasted.

Right then, Miguel stared at the dimmed computer screen.

This won't do! I must find a way to meet him.

Meanwhile, after Anthony went offline, Benjamin asked, “How come you're in the mood for teaching others today?”

“This person piqued my interest,” Anthony replied.

“How so?”

Pondering for a while, Anthony replied, “He's Miguel.”

Hearing that, Benjamin was stunned. “The one who ranks fifth?”

“Yup.” Anthony nodded.

Frowning, Benjamin snapped, “Why did you become entangled with him then?”

“He's one of Daddy's men now,” Anthony clarified.

“He has been recruited?”

“Rumor has it that he's been headhunted by a large organization a while ago, but I didn't know it was DX Group. I was only able to confirm that today after testing his skills,” Anthony explained.

“So, just now...”

Anthony nodded. “He knew it when you called Daddy. I guess Daddy sent him to check your address. That's why we chatted for a while.”

“How did he know I called Daddy?” Benjamin snapped his brows together, puzzled.

“He has probably installed a tracking device in your phone. Perhaps Daddy was with him, and the location was indicated on the screen when you called,” Anthony expressed his speculations.

“If that's the case, has Daddy discovered we're in Zaewora?”

“I'm not sure. These are just assumptions,” Anthony uttered.

Pursing his lips, Benjamin swept a glance at his phone. There are no phone calls or messages from Daddy.

“If Daddy is aware of our location, he would have given us a call directly, right?”

“Who knows? Daddy's intentions are never obvious. It's so hard to guess what he's up to,” grumbled Anthony.

Right then, Benjamin looked him in the eyes and posed a question. “Were you trying to sabotage Miguel when you spoke with him just now?”

“It's very challenging to take him down. Though they seem divided and undisciplined, they are grounded in their principles. Hence, I can't do that.”

“So? You won't waste your time and effort on something that doesn't yield results. I don't believe you did all that simply because you find him interesting.”

“Well, even if I can't turn the tables at the moment, there's no harm trying to get his phone number.”

Benjamin was rendered speechless.

I knew it! Anthony would never do others a favor for no reason.

He scrutinized his brother and remarked, “Thalia was right about one thing.”

“What is it?”

“You're just like Daddy—shrewd and cunning,” Benjamin said upfront.

Narrowing his eyes, Anthony questioned, “What about you?”

“Me? We're totally different. I take after Nat—pure and kind,” Benjamin responded proudly.

“Please don't misuse those words and give the two adjectives a new meaning.”

Benjamin shot him a cold glare. “You're just jealous.”

“Yeah, you're right. I turn green with envy when I see how skillful you are at playing dumb.”

“Are you talking about yourself?”

“Come on, don't deny it. You purposely gave Daddy a call to reveal our location. Do you really think I was oblivious to your little trick?” Anthony questioned.

“I...” Benjamin thought for a while and decided not to admit it. “I did not.”

Anthony rolled his eyes at him. “Save it! How can I not know what you're thinking when we both came out of the same womb?”

“Do you have any proof?” Benjamin retorted.

“My evidence is right here.” Anthony pointed at his heart.

“Unfortunately, you can't take it out to support your claim,” remarked Benjamin contemptuously.

Anthony gazed at him intently. “I'm really curious as to why you wanted Daddy to know our whereabouts.”

Benjamin cast him a look. “You're obviously fishing for information. Do you think I can't read your mind?”

Anthony fell silent.

“That's enough. Don't treat me like a fool.” With that, Benjamin strode toward the couch and sat down cockily with his legs crossed.

A faint smile formed on Anthony's face when he saw that.

I must use a new strategy next time.

After Anthony pondered for a while, a realization suddenly dawned on him, and he approached Benjamin, taking a seat beside the latter.

“Anyhow, I concur that it's time to meet up with Daddy.”

Feeling dubious, Benjamin scrutinized his brother. “Oh, why?”

“We've been here for several days now, but Nat doesn't seem to want to see us despite us keeping in touch with her. I think she's afraid of getting us into trouble, so presumably, she won't see us. However, it doesn't mean she won't meet up with Daddy,” stated Anthony.

With narrowed eyes, Benjamin listened to him attentively. “And?”

“And if we collaborate with Daddy, things will move much faster than now,” explained Anthony.

Benjamin considered his perspective and nodded. “You're the elder one between us, so I'll support you relentlessly. No matter what you think or do, I've got no objection.”

“Here's a problem for you. How can we make Daddy find us soon?”

“This is as simple as ABC. You can just go ahead and look for Daddy. It's the same thing!” Benjamin exclaimed.

At that moment, he seemed to realize something.

There was a sparkle in his eyes when he turned to look at Anthony.

While Benjamin exposed their whereabouts, Anthony intentionally got himself acquainted with Miguel. The duo shared the same hidden agenda—they intended to drop hints for Kenneth to notice them and realize how capable they were. This was so that Kenneth would not send the brothers back home by the time he found them.

Benjamin chuckled at that thought. Saying nothing, he looked at Anthony and flashed him a thumbs up.

“What?” Anthony asked.

“Nothing. I just think you're brilliant,” praised Benjamin.

Anthony smiled for a while, but he quickly covered it up by putting on an indifferent expression. “I have no clue what you're talking about.”

At his words, Benjamin scoffed, “I think you're the expert on playing dumb.”

“Am I?” Anthony was baffled.

“Can't you tell?” Benjamin rebuked.

“Fine. I'll gladly accept your utmost praise and compliments.”

“You definitely deserve it.”

“Hey, shall we discuss how to ensure a smooth development for what is to come?”

“Is there a need to discuss this further?” Benjamin asked, staring at him. “I can tell you've got it all planned out, so why don't you go ahead and share the grand plan instead of beating around the bush?”

“Thanks for thinking highly of me!”

“Haha,” Benjamin sneered disdainfully. His sharp gaze seemed to have seen through his brother.
