Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 501

Chapter 501

However, just as Anthony exited the room, Dave turned back. Upon seeing no one else but Benjamin there, he frowned.

“Where's Anthony?”

Benjamin never thought that Dave would be so quick to ask that, and after a second of rumination, he smiled and said, “Uh, he said his stomach feels weird, so he went to the bathroom.”

Dave glanced at him before rising to his feet to head toward the bathroom. Benjamin instantly told him “He went to the bathroom in our room!”

Dave narrowed his eyes. Hmm... Clearly, something is amiss.

“What's the matter? He can't use this bathroom?” Dave asked.

“He's a picky one. He prefers to use a bathroom he is familiar with,” Benjamin explained.

However, the more Benjamin explained, the more uneasy Dave became.

After all, Kenneth had instructed him to keep a close eye on the two boys.

If they could sneak their way here from Glenport City, it would not be a surprise if they could discreetly tail Kenneth.

With that thought in mind, Dave wasted no time spinning on his heels to head outside.

“Mr. Dave, where are you going?” Benjamin asked.

“He's feeling unwell, so I'm going to check on him.” With that, Dave left.

Benjamin furrowed his brows. He never thought Dave would be keeping such a close eye on them.

Thus, he quickly fished out his phone to message Anthony. Once he sent out the message, he hurried after Dave.

“Mr. Dave, I can go and look for Anthony instead. Things are about to start on the other side, and you have to stay to oversee it!” Benjamin cried out.

“It's fine. Miguel and the others know what to do.” With that, he continued striding forward.

Benjamin followed him, but he did not know what else he could say to the older man.

Forget it. I guess I have to steel myself and go with the flow.

Soon, Dave came to a stop in front of the room.

Right then, Benjamin lifted his head to look at Dave.

With a frown and a confused look on his face, Benjamin asked, “What's the matter, Mr. Dave?”

Dave glanced at him. “Open the door.”

It was only then Benjamin came back to his senses. “Oh!”

Benjamin put his hand in his pocket. I wonder if Anthony has gotten my message.

However, when his fingers touched the keycard, he said, “I don't think I brought my keycard out...”

Dave narrowed his eyes.

The longer he stared at Benjamin, the more suspicious he became.

Then, he took out his phone to make a call. Soon, someone ran over to open the door for them.

Dave pushed the door open and entered.

Benjamin followed suit, his heart racing.

However, no one was in the room. When Benjamin swept his gaze across the closed laptop on the table, he quietly let out a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, Dave scanned the area after stepping into the room.

When he realized that no one was around, he turned to Benjamin and asked, “Where is he?”

“Uh...”

Just as Benjamin was about to say something, the sounds of running water came from the bathroom. Immediately, both of them whipped their head toward it. In the next second, the bathroom door opened, and Anthony stepped out.

The moment Anthony saw them, a look of bewilderment crossed his face. “Mr. Dave? Benjamin? Why are you here?”

Dave's eyes were grim when he turned to look at Anthony, but the moment he saw the boy, his tense expression seemed to relax.

“We're here to look for you,” Dave said.

“What for? My stomach felt uncomfortable, so I came back to use the bathroom,” Anthony replied, doing his best to put on an innocent look.

“Your dad instructed me to protect you before you left. He's afraid that the people from Vermillion Base will come after you.”

Both Anthony and Benjamin were rendered speechless.

There's no one who isn't acting, huh?

Anthony then nodded. “Okay, I got it.”

“Let's go,” Dave uttered.

Anthony blinked. All of a sudden, he wrapped his arm around his stomach and squeezed out, “Uh, Mr. Dave, I think I've eaten something that's making my stomach upset. Can I stay in my room and rest instead?”

Dave lowered his gaze for a while before saying, “There's a spot to rest there too. Come on, I'll get a doctor to check you over as well.”

“No, it's fine, Mr. Dave. I just need to rest,” Anthony said in a sweet tone, hoping to make Dave let him go.

Dave mulled over his response. He then answered, “Okay, I'll get someone to keep an eye on you here instead.”

Anthony nearly dropped his jaw at that.

“That way, we'll know if you're feeling unwell in time.”

Anthony pursed his lips.

In the next second, he put his hand down and muttered, “Hm? It doesn't hurt as much anymore. Mr. Dave, let's go.”

Dave curled his lips as he watched the boy lead the way before following him.

Benjamin could only sigh in resignation.

After entering the conference room, Dave looked at Anthony and asked, “Are you sure you don't want a doctor to check you over?”

Anthony gave him a small smile. “It's fine. I'm okay now.”

Dave nodded. “Rest here, then.” With that, he turned to the people at the side and gave them a look.

Anthony narrowed his eyes.

Isn't this a little too obvious? Do we really look like we're about to wreck chaos?

“Mr. Dave, you don't need to specially get someone to watch us. We're good kids,” Anthony said.

Dave lifted a brow at that. “You are saying that you are good kids who tailed all the way here from Glenport City?”

Really? Dave mused.

Anthony mumbled, “That was a long time ago.”

“That's part of your record,” Dave answered. “Well, don't blame me for this. I'm doing this on your dad's instructions. If any of you go missing, he's definitely going to kill me. So, if you have any issues with this, tell him about it when he gets back.”

Anthony was at a loss for words, and Benjamin only smiled in response.

Dave gave them another glance before turning to walk to the control panel.

Right then, Anthony and Benjamin shared a look.

“What do we do now?” Anthony whispered to his brother.

Benjamin stuttered, “How would I know?”

“Think of something,” Anthony continued whispering.

“We'll have to give up for now,” Benjamin replied.

Just as Anthony was about to respond to that, Miguel's voice came from the control panel.

“Dave, Anonymous isn't online yet.”

“Wait for a little longer.”

“But it's almost time!” Miguel cried out.

Dave furrowed his brows and lifted his arm to check the time. “Could it be that he's doing this on purpose?”

“Doing what on purpose?” Miguel queried.

“Nothing,” Dave answered before looking back at them. “How confident are you if only a few of you are on this?”

“Honestly, Dave, we've never gone up against the hackers of Vermillion Base, so we don't know how powerful they are, but with their ranking, as long as those few people aren't going up against us, we'll be fine,” Miguel confessed.

However, his answer was a pointless one.

Vermillion Base was one of the earliest organizations to train hackers. Although they were relatively all-rounded, most did not know how capable they were.

Dave cocked his head to the side to think about it. “Regardless of everything, just do your best. Our aim isn't to win. It'll be the best-case scenario if we can hack into them, but if we can't, all we need to do is to buy time. The more time you can buy, the better.”

Miguel nodded. “Got it, Dave!”
