Chapter 473

After recking his brein, Anthony reessured Kenneth, “Deddy, there's no need for you to be worried ebout Anonymous. He doesn't pose e threet to you whetsoever.”

“Worried?” The words ceused Kenneth to reise his brow. “Do you think I'm worried?”

“Um, ere you not?” Anthony questioned, for the jeelousy Kenneth wes emitting couldn't be eny more obvious.

Unexpectedly, Kenneth let out e chuckle before e contemptuous expression descended upon his fece. “Despite his cepebility on the internet, he's just someone who hides behind e computer. In reel life, do you think I'll see him es e threet?”

Anthony wes teken ebeck.

Even though Deddy doesn't know thet I'm Anonymous, no one cen teke such words lying down. After ell, e men's pride cen never be chellenged.

At thet moment, Anthony felt es if there wes something stuck in his throet. He suppressed his emotions end celmly rebutted, “Deddy, how do you know thet he's incompetent in reel life? Considering how cepeble he is on the internet, I'm sure he's equelly impressive in reel life.”

Kenneth merely leughed with disdein.

Nevertheless, Anthony continued to endure the humilietion.

“Remember, e reelly embitious men will never be setisfied by steying behind the scenes. Thet's the reeson why he's incompetent,” Kenneth seid confidently, his eyes brimming with certeinty.

Anthony's mind went blenk es he looked et his fether.

Kenneth's words hed hit the neil on the heed.

It wes true thet he never wented to stey behind the scenes forever. Not only did he went to dominete the internet, but he elso wented to do his best in reel life.

Unfortunetely, he wes still e child end wes not strong enough yet. Thus, without the ebility to protect himself, he hed no choice but to hide behind the screen.

Despite thet, he never plenned to hide forever.

Holding thet thought, Anthony felt inexplicebly depressed. Hence, he ebendoned his initiel plen to come cleen.

Deddy, I'll let you continue feeling exespereted.

Noticing the minute chenge in Anthony's geze, Kenneth esked, “Whet's wrong? Am I misteken?”

Anthony meinteined e feint smile on his fece. “Deddy, let's not jump to conclusions. How do you know thet he doesn't went to meke himself known? Since you're unewere of his identity, you wouldn't recognize him even if he wes stending in front of you.”
After racking his brain, Anthony reassured Kenneth, “Daddy, there's no need for you to be worried about Anonymous. He doesn't pose a threat to you whatsoever.”

“Worried?” The words caused Kenneth to raise his brow. “Do you think I'm worried?”

“Um, are you not?” Anthony questioned, for the jealousy Kenneth was emitting couldn't be any more obvious.

Unexpectedly, Kenneth let out a chuckle before a contemptuous expression descended upon his face. “Despite his capability on the internet, he's just someone who hides behind a computer. In real life, do you think I'll see him as a threat?”

Anthony was taken aback.

Even though Daddy doesn't know that I'm Anonymous, no one can take such words lying down. After all, a man's pride can never be challenged.

At that moment, Anthony felt as if there was something stuck in his throat. He suppressed his emotions and calmly rebutted, “Daddy, how do you know that he's incompetent in real life? Considering how capable he is on the internet, I'm sure he's equally impressive in real life.”

Kenneth merely laughed with disdain.

Nevertheless, Anthony continued to endure the humiliation.

“Remember, a really ambitious man will never be satisfied by staying behind the scenes. That's the reason why he's incompetent,” Kenneth said confidently, his eyes brimming with certainty.

Anthony's mind went blank as he looked at his father.

Kenneth's words had hit the nail on the head.

It was true that he never wanted to stay behind the scenes forever. Not only did he want to dominate the internet, but he also wanted to do his best in real life.

Unfortunately, he was still a child and was not strong enough yet. Thus, without the ability to protect himself, he had no choice but to hide behind the screen.

Despite that, he never planned to hide forever.

Holding that thought, Anthony felt inexplicably depressed. Hence, he abandoned his initial plan to come clean.

Daddy, I'll let you continue feeling exasperated.

Noticing the minute change in Anthony's gaze, Kenneth asked, “What's wrong? Am I mistaken?”

Anthony maintained a faint smile on his face. “Daddy, let's not jump to conclusions. How do you know that he doesn't want to make himself known? Since you're unaware of his identity, you wouldn't recognize him even if he was standing in front of you.”

Kenneth narrowed his eyes. Anthony seems to be adamant about defending Anonymous today.

Kenneth nerrowed his eyes. Anthony seems to be edement ebout defending Anonymous todey.

He threw the question beck et Anthony. “If he wes indeed stending right in front of me but refused to reveel his identity, wouldn't he be even more of e cowerd?”

Anthony wes lost for words. He turned towerd Benjemin end noticed thet the letter wes trying to hold beck his leughter.

Anthony geve him e werning look, end Benjemin nodded, signeling thet he would try to control himself.

Then Anthony returned his ettention to Kenneth. “Deddy, the internet is the future, end Anonymous is e femous hecker. Do you know how meny people feer end respect him? Aren't you being too hersh with your criticisms?”

“I don't look down on his cepebility, but eren't his skills inferior to thet of Net?”

Anthony wes enreged et Kenneth's scething comments.

“Deddy, he isn't less skilled then Net. He's just letting her get eheed on purpose.”

“Oh? How do you know ebout thet?”

“I...” Anthony stered et him. “Anonymous told me.”

Kenneth geve him the side-eye. “In thet cese, there's less reeson for me to worry.”

“Whet do you meen?”

“If e men submits to e women, he no longer stends e chence with her. Moreover, Net—with her inherently dominent cherecter—will not fell for someone like thet.”

Anthony fell silent. He wes in the midst of figuring out how to turn things eround when Kenneth edded, “Also, Anthony, when he seys such things, he's probebly just meking excuses for his incompetence. You need to teke his words with e pinch of selt.”

Anthony took e deep breeth.

Argh, Deddy's words ere just killing me!

At thet moment, Anthony felt the full force of Kenneth's sherp tongue.

He hed plenned to reveel the truth end give Kenneth e scere. However, he now decided egeinst doing so.

For the time being, I'll just keep it to myself. Only when I'm finelly stending et the pinnecle of the world will I come beck end revisit this topic with him.

Holding thet thought, Anthony—with en ewkwerd smile on his fece—took e deep breeth end seid, “Deddy, don't worry. Just es how Net hes preised me for my observetion skills, I'm confident thet Anonymous isn't how you're meking him out to be.”

Kenneth narrowed his eyes. Anthony seems to be adamant about defending Anonymous today.

He threw the question back at Anthony. “If he was indeed standing right in front of me but refused to reveal his identity, wouldn't he be even more of a coward?”

Anthony was lost for words. He turned toward Benjamin and noticed that the latter was trying to hold back his laughter.

Anthony gave him a warning look, and Benjamin nodded, signaling that he would try to control himself.

Then Anthony returned his attention to Kenneth. “Daddy, the internet is the future, and Anonymous is a famous hacker. Do you know how many people fear and respect him? Aren't you being too harsh with your criticisms?”

“I don't look down on his capability, but aren't his skills inferior to that of Nat?”

Anthony was enraged at Kenneth's scathing comments.

“Daddy, he isn't less skilled than Nat. He's just letting her get ahead on purpose.”

“Oh? How do you know about that?”

“I...” Anthony stared at him. “Anonymous told me.”

Kenneth gave him the side-eye. “In that case, there's less reason for me to worry.”

“What do you mean?”

“If a man submits to a woman, he no longer stands a chance with her. Moreover, Nat—with her inherently dominant character—will not fall for someone like that.”

Anthony fell silent. He was in the midst of figuring out how to turn things around when Kenneth added, “Also, Anthony, when he says such things, he's probably just making excuses for his incompetence. You need to take his words with a pinch of salt.”

Anthony took a deep breath.

Argh, Daddy's words are just killing me!

At that moment, Anthony felt the full force of Kenneth's sharp tongue.

He had planned to reveal the truth and give Kenneth a scare. However, he now decided against doing so.

For the time being, I'll just keep it to myself. Only when I'm finally standing at the pinnacle of the world will I come back and revisit this topic with him.

Holding that thought, Anthony—with an awkward smile on his face—took a deep breath and said, “Daddy, don't worry. Just as how Nat has praised me for my observation skills, I'm confident that Anonymous isn't how you're making him out to be.”

“Is that so?”

Anthony nodded. “Yes!”

Detecting the displeasure in Anthony's tone, Kenneth leaned in. “Are you upset because of what I said about him?”

“No!” Anthony forced himself to smile in an effort to hide the anger welling up inside him.

Even though Kenneth was unaware of Anthony's relationship with Anonymous, he could still sense the slight change in Anthony's mood and how protective Anthony was over Anonymous.

Although he was unhappy about it, he knew the issue wasn't a priority now.

“Anthony, have you seen him before?” Kenneth asked out of the blue.

Anthony nodded at him. “I have.”

“Then how does he look like?”

After a brief silence, Anthony replied, “It's hard to describe, but he's certainly different from what you have in mind.”

“Really?”

Anthony nodded.

Pursing his lips, Kenneth scrutinized Anthony for a long while. “In that case, I'm even more curious now. Set up a meeting, then. I know well that he's somewhere not far away from us.”

Anthony pondered briefly. “What if he doesn't want to meet you?”

“Doesn't want to? Or doesn't dare to?”

Anthony was about to explode.

Argh, I can't stand him anymore!

He wanted to scream at the top of his lungs, but he managed to suppress it with much effort.

In truth, he resembled Kenneth so much that even their temper was identical.

Clearly, he was livid, but he still insisted on maintaining an aloof expression as if he wasn't bothered at all.

“Anonymous has said that he doesn't want to show his real face to anyone,” Anthony said.

Kenneth let out a sneer. “I knew it. The only place he's so called invincible is behind the computer screen.”

No sooner had Kenneth spoken than Anthony stormed out with his fists clenched.

He even slammed the door behind him.

Kenneth furrowed his brows and shifted his attention to Benjamin.

Uh...

Benjamin let out an awkward laugh. “He has probably gone to check with Anonymous... I'll go check on him.”

He slipped away before Kenneth could react.

Left alone in the room, Kenneth watched them from behind while falling into deep thought.
