Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 504

Chapter 504

He has studied IT for a bit? Does he think that I'm blind?

Dave said nothing, merely staring right ahead. No matter what's going on, the most important thing is to win this tough battle at the end of the day!

Not only were his lips pressed into a thin line, but his brows were also creased deeply. It was as though he was likewise worried that something would go wrong, his hands balling into fists as he looked at the screen.

Anthony led everyone in attacking and defending at the same time.

It always seemed to be a life-and-death situation, but there would be a sudden turning point every time during the critical juncture. Admittedly, it was very much unexpected.

When the same thing happened several times, everyone could tell it was definitely not a fluke or sheer luck. Instead, it was true capabilities.

Only someone with true capabilities could easily change the course of events and turn the tide.

Yet, Anthony was still playing the role of an actor, enthusiastically putting on a show for them.

He manipulated the situation, deliberately appearing to be inadequate, but managing to turn the tables every time by “luck.”

Haha, not only does he think that we're blind, but he even takes us as idiots!

Even as Benjamin watched from behind Anthony, he couldn't help reaching out and cradling his forehead every so often. Gosh, his acting skills are really below par!

The tug of war went on for a long time.

All of a sudden, Dave's phone rang. Taking out his phone, he glanced at it before whirling around and going out to take the call.

“Hello, Kenneth.”

“How are things?” Kenneth queried.

“Everything is going according to plan!” Dave answered.

“Dave, the bigger the show, the better!”

“I understand what you mean.” Dave nodded.

“How are the two kids? Did they give you trouble?” Kenneth inquired.

Speaking of the two children, Dave cast a glance into the room. He wanted to tell Kenneth about the matter, but he was afraid that the man would be distracted. In the end, he fibbed, “Nope. They're behaving perfectly!”

“Great! All right, I'll be hanging up, then!”

“Okay.”

With that, the phone call ended.

Putting his phone away, Dave headed back into the room.

He strode right up to Anthony. “Stop playing tug of war. Hack into their system as soon as possible, and make it conspicuous!”

Anthony lifted his eyes. Upon laying eyes on Dave, he was stunned for a second. Just when he was going to get up, the man placed a hand on his shoulder.

That kept him immobile.

“It has to do with your daddy's safety!” Dave enunciated.

Since he had said as much, Anthony couldn't argue anymore.

Having no other choice, he could only unleash his capabilities.

“I'll leave it to you!” Dave asserted. Then, he backed away and returned the stage to him.

Anthony deliberated for a while as he stared at the computer. Things have come to this anyway, and I'll have to give an explanation no matter what, so I'd be better off being myself.

At that thought, he turned to Miguel. “Come on, Miguel. Let's launch a large-scale attack!”

By then, Miguel was already at the top of the world under his leadership.

Truly, he was over the moon.

Anticipation flooded him. Looking at Anthony, he bobbed his head. “Sure!”

Just then, something seemingly occurred to him. He turned to Dave and asked, “Is there a time limit, Dave?”

“As soon as possible,” Dave replied.

“Ten minutes?” Miguel quirked a brow.

“Okay!” Dave assented.

Anthony merely listened without chiming in.

Subsequently, Miguel turned to Anthony. “Can you manage within ten minutes?”

However, Anthony didn't feel like answering that. Sometimes, action speaks louder than words.

“Everyone, follow my lead and attack!” he instructed with his eyes fixated on the computer.

Thus, they all started to launch a collective attack, following his order.

Anthony went ahead and cleared the way, eliminating all obstacles and obliterating the enemy.

Consequently, they successfully hacked into the other party's system in just a few minutes.

What was more, Anthony even deliberately left a message on their website after hacking into the system.

It went along the lines of Vermillion Base being a traitor.

Anyone who accessed the website would be able to see those words.

In an instant, the system went down and couldn't be repaired.

When Miguel saw that they had successfully hacked into the system, he removed his earphones. They all jumped for joy.

“Amazing! It was utterly incredible!”

“Exactly! It didn't even take ten minutes but merely below three minutes! Is this for real?” someone questioned at the side.

“You're asking whether it's real when we've already hacked in? Are you an idiot?”

“I just find it unbelievable!”

“It was simply a miracle!”

“Anthony had everything in the palm of his hand!”

“Hear, hear! Anthony played them for a fool! He can easily take them on alone!”

Miguel was also excited beyond words. He jerked his head around and directed his gaze at Anthony, who was still sitting on the chair. The height of the chair didn't suit him, and his feet couldn't even touch the ground. Nevertheless, he sat there lazily with his gaze trained on the computer screen and the corners of his mouth curved upward imperceptibly. The look in his eyes seemingly indicated that he had long since anticipated that outcome.

On the whole, it was the posture of a bigshot.

For some inexplicable reason, Miguel found it rather familiar, yet he couldn't put his finger on it.

Walking over, he pinned his eyes on Anthony, inexorably gushing, “You were simply incredible, Anthony! How impressive! But how did you manage it?”

That was incredulous!

At once, Anthony put away his languid smile and switched back to an expression befitting a child as he gazed at the man. “I...” Just when he was going to fib his way out of it, he lifted his eyes and spotted Dave, who was standing at the side. The man was eyeballing him as though waiting to hear his explanation.

“I...” His mind abruptly went blank in the face of such a profound stare, and he didn't quite know how to explain things.

“Uh... I... I was watching the lot of you and found it pretty interesting... After watching for a while, I learned...” While saying that, he observed them, his gaze seemingly querying whether they believed his excuse.

Unsurprisingly, they both gaped at him and went silent.

Isn't he treating us too much like fools to say such a thing?

“D-Do you not believe that?” Anthony queried with wide eyes. Should I think of another excuse, then?

“Don't you think it's too far-fetched?” Miguel countered.

Um... Now that he mentioned that, it does seem a bit far-fetched.

Then, Miguel continued, “Shouldn't you find a reasonable excuse at the very least?”

“In that case—”

“Actually, it was Anonymous who taught him!” Benjamin, who was behind Anthony, suddenly stepped forward and chimed in.

As soon as Anthony heard that, his eyes lit up.

That's a good one! He's still dependable at crucial times!

He nodded, bobbing his head fervently. “Yes! He taught me a bit. I didn't expect them to be so lousy. I only learned some basics, yet I defeated them! Haha!”

Miguel was promptly dumbstruck.

Similarly, the others plunged into silence.

Utter mortification inundated everyone there.

If he's saying they're lousy, is he not insinuating that we're even worse? After all, we almost lost to them in the beginning.

At that exact moment, Dave interjected, “Come with me for a while, Anthony!”

With a single glance, Anthony realized that the situation wasn't in his favor.

I can still fool Miguel and the others, but his sharp gaze is comparable to Daddy's, so he isn't so easily duped. As such, it's best that I don't speak to him directly!

At that thought, Anthony clutched his stomach without warning. “Oh no, my stomach is acting up again! I'm going back to my room to go to the washroom!”

Without waiting for their response, he sprinted off like lightning.

Dave was wholly dumbfounded.

Seeing that, Benjamin blinked before venturing, “I'll go and look in on him.”

“Benjamin!” Alas, Dave called him back.

Glancing over his shoulder, Benjamin flashed the man a sheepish smile. “Is something the matter, Mr. Dave?”
