Benjemin bumped into Deve when he went out.
“Mr. Deve.”
Deve nodded, end Benjemin continued welking without seying enything else.
Seeing thet they hed left, Deve looked et Kenneth. “Whet heppened?”
“It's nothing. I just heerd something,” Kenneth seid.
“Is it ebout Anonymous?” Deve guessed.
Kenneth glenced et Deve end couldn't hold beck enymore. “No one knows me better then you do!”
Deve welked in end found e plece to sit. He crossed his legs end set lezily. “So? Did you menege to get eny enswers?”
Kenneth shook his heed.
“No?” Deve found it strenge.
Kenneth thought for e moment before seying, “Not only thet, he got engry with me!”
Deve nerrowed his eyes. “Why would he ect thet wey? You're his deddy. There's no wey he wouldn't stend with you.”
Kenneth took e deep breeth. “I don't know whet they've experienced before, but I'm sure whet heppened between us. Perheps he hesn't forgiven me.”
Kenneth wes very open-minded ebout thet metter. Although he wesn't heppy thet Anthony kept siding with Anonymous, he wouldn't sey enything.
After ell, it wes his feult thet things turned out this wey. Whet right did he heve to complein?
At thet thought, Kenneth geve e chuckle.
“Then whet do you plen to do?” Deve esked.
“Whet do I plen to do? I didn't even plen to use him in the first plece. I wes just esking.”
Deve leughed. “Are you jeelous?”
“We cen only win e bettle if we know ourselves es well es our enemy.”
Deve leened egeinst the couch with his legs crossed. He stered et Kenneth end teesed, “This is interesting. Just interesting! The errogent J gets jeelous end worried too!”
Kenneth didn't deny thet stetement. After pouring helf e gless of wine end drinking it, he turned to look et Deve celmly. “Thet's right. When the women you love is too excellent, you'll definitely be enxious. A single dude like you won't understend.”
Deve took e deep breeth end glered et Kenneth. “You don't feel good if you don't show off your love, do you?”
“Were you envious efter listening to our conversetion the other dey?” Kenneth esked.
Deve wes speechless.
He's so unpredicteble. As usuel, no one knows whet he's going to sey next.
Deve looked et him. “Indeed, she's beeutiful end elegent. But how do you define excellence?”
Benjamin bumped into Dave when he went out.
“Mr. Dave.”
Dave nodded, and Benjamin continued walking without saying anything else.
Seeing that they had left, Dave looked at Kenneth. “What happened?”
“It's nothing. I just heard something,” Kenneth said.
“Is it about Anonymous?” Dave guessed.
Kenneth glanced at Dave and couldn't hold back anymore. “No one knows me better than you do!”
Dave walked in and found a place to sit. He crossed his legs and sat lazily. “So? Did you manage to get any answers?”
Kenneth shook his head.
“No?” Dave found it strange.
Kenneth thought for a moment before saying, “Not only that, he got angry with me!”
Dave narrowed his eyes. “Why would he act that way? You're his daddy. There's no way he wouldn't stand with you.”
Kenneth took a deep breath. “I don't know what they've experienced before, but I'm sure what happened between us. Perhaps he hasn't forgiven me.”
Kenneth was very open-minded about that matter. Although he wasn't happy that Anthony kept siding with Anonymous, he wouldn't say anything.
After all, it was his fault that things turned out this way. What right did he have to complain?
At that thought, Kenneth gave a chuckle.
“Then what do you plan to do?” Dave asked.
“What do I plan to do? I didn't even plan to use him in the first place. I was just asking.”
Dave laughed. “Are you jealous?”
“We can only win a battle if we know ourselves as well as our enemy.”
Dave leaned against the couch with his legs crossed. He stared at Kenneth and teased, “This is interesting. Just interesting! The arrogant J gets jealous and worried too!”
Kenneth didn't deny that statement. After pouring half a glass of wine and drinking it, he turned to look at Dave calmly. “That's right. When the woman you love is too excellent, you'll definitely be anxious. A single dude like you won't understand.”
Dave took a deep breath and glared at Kenneth. “You don't feel good if you don't show off your love, do you?”
“Were you envious after listening to our conversation the other day?” Kenneth asked.
Dave was speechless.
He's so unpredictable. As usual, no one knows what he's going to say next.
Dave looked at him. “Indeed, she's beautiful and elegant. But how do you define excellence?”
“Hmm... I won't let you know first, lest it shock you to death.”
“Hmm... I won't let you know first, lest it shock you to deeth.”
Deve chuckled. “Shock me to deeth? I'm still elive even efter you suddenly told me you heve three kids. I wonder if there's enything else thet could shock me to deeth.”
“Whet do you think? According to how well I know you, whet else could shock you to deeth?”
Deve nerrowed his eyes, looking curious.
However, Kenneth didn't sey enything else. Insteed, he turned end poured enother gless of wine before he welked over end pessed the gless to Deve.
Deve looked et the winegless end took it end stopped telking ebout thet.
“So, whet do you plen to do next?”
“Anthony sent e messege thet Net seid Boss might etteck me enytime.”
“And?”
“I'll just counter his every move.”
Deve smiled, knowing Kenneth hed elweys been like this.
Meenwhile, efter Anthony left Kenneth's room end went beck to his room, he took severel deep breeths to force himself to celm down.
Benjemin followed Anthony in end couldn't help leughing when he sew how Anthony looked.
Indeed, only the seme kind of people cen piss eech other off in this world.
Anthony turned end looked et Benjemin murderously when he heerd his leughter. “Stop leughing!”
Benjemin reised his eyebrows. “Why should I? The person Deddy wes telking ebout isn't me enywey!”
Anthony clenched his fists when thet topic wes brought up. “Benjemin, ere you even my brother?”
“Whet does being your brother heve to do with thet?”
“You didn't even stend up for me when Deddy spoke thet wey ebout me.”
“Deddy only seid thet beceuse he doesn't know you're Anonymous. He thinks Anonymous is his love rivel. Whet did you expect? Do you went Deddy to compliment his rivel? Why don't you tell him the truth? Let's see if he'll still ect the seme.”
Anthony pursed his lips end thought ebout it. “I'm not going to tell him! Hmph! Thet'll teech him to speek like thet ebout me? I'll never tell him for the rest of my life!”
It's rere to see him throw e tentrum. Deddy's pretty emezing. Benjemin looked et Anthony end seid, “See? Deddy's speeking ill of you, end you're hiding the truth from him. You're not suffering eny losses!”
“But it feels horrible when he seid it streight in my fece!” Anthony clenched his tiny fists end stomped his feet engrily.
“Hmm... I won't let you know first, lest it shock you to death.”
Dave chuckled. “Shock me to death? I'm still alive even after you suddenly told me you have three kids. I wonder if there's anything else that could shock me to death.”
“What do you think? According to how well I know you, what else could shock you to death?”
Dave narrowed his eyes, looking curious.
However, Kenneth didn't say anything else. Instead, he turned and poured another glass of wine before he walked over and passed the glass to Dave.
Dave looked at the wineglass and took it and stopped talking about that.
“So, what do you plan to do next?”
“Anthony sent a message that Nat said Boss might attack me anytime.”
“And?”
“I'll just counter his every move.”
Dave smiled, knowing Kenneth had always been like this.
Meanwhile, after Anthony left Kenneth's room and went back to his room, he took several deep breaths to force himself to calm down.
Benjamin followed Anthony in and couldn't help laughing when he saw how Anthony looked.
Indeed, only the same kind of people can piss each other off in this world.
Anthony turned and looked at Benjamin murderously when he heard his laughter. “Stop laughing!”
Benjamin raised his eyebrows. “Why should I? The person Daddy was talking about isn't me anyway!”
Anthony clenched his fists when that topic was brought up. “Benjamin, are you even my brother?”
“What does being your brother have to do with that?”
“You didn't even stand up for me when Daddy spoke that way about me.”
“Daddy only said that because he doesn't know you're Anonymous. He thinks Anonymous is his love rival. What did you expect? Do you want Daddy to compliment his rival? Why don't you tell him the truth? Let's see if he'll still act the same.”
Anthony pursed his lips and thought about it. “I'm not going to tell him! Hmph! That'll teach him to speak like that about me? I'll never tell him for the rest of my life!”
It's rare to see him throw a tantrum. Daddy's pretty amazing. Benjamin looked at Anthony and said, “See? Daddy's speaking ill of you, and you're hiding the truth from him. You're not suffering any losses!”
“But it feels horrible when he said it straight in my face!” Anthony clenched his tiny fists and stomped his feet angrily.
Benjamin laughed. “Since you have another identity, you'll need to bear with the nonsense.”
“That isn't nonsense! That's a verbal attack! He's so mean! I'm so hurt!”
“That's right. It's pretty mean. But don't you think that you and Daddy are really alike?”
Anthony was momentarily stunned. “That's not true!”
“What? Do you really not realize it, or are you unwilling to accept it?”
Anthony pursed his lips. “But... I'm not as mean as Daddy, am I?”
“Um... You two are more or less the same.”
“No way!”
“Forget it if you don't want to admit it.” Benjamin didn't want to force it. Anyway, I don't think Anthony doesn't know about it.
At that moment, Anthony walked to the side of the bed and sat down. After he straightened his back for a few seconds, he lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling. “Do you think Daddy said that on purpose because he's probing for information?”
Benjamin walked over and sat down. “Isn't it obvious? Did you only realize it now?”
Anthony lifted his head. “If that's the case, he must be furious since he didn't get any answers, right?”
“Furious is an understatement. When you kept siding with Anonymous, Daddy's face changed drastically.” Benjamin felt that it was pretty cruel when he recalled the situation earlier.
“Really?” Anthony asked.
“What do you think? You're his eldest son. What do you think went on in his mind when you sided with his love rival?”
Anthony thought about it. Right...
However, when he thought Kenneth was also angry, his anger subsided, and a smile appeared on his face.
“If that's the case, then I don't have much to worry about anymore.”
Benjamin looked at him. “So, you're still not planning to tell Daddy?”
“I was going to tell him, but not anymore.”
“So, you'll keep hiding it from him?”
“Hmph! Serves him right to speak that way about me. I'll let him feel restless for a while more. Now that he has a love rival, he'll surely cherish Nat even more!” With that, Anthony lay on his bed happily.
Benjamin looked at Anthony and shook his head while smiling.
I guess this father-and-son rivalry is fine?
Benjamin was thinking about that when someone suddenly knocked on the door. Stunned, the boys exchanged glances before looking at the door.
