Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 505

Chapter 505

“What do you think?” Eyeing Benjamin, Dave mimicked him and flashed him a smile that didn't reach his eyes.

Benjamin went silent.

Gosh, adults are really troublesome. He imitated my tactic in such a short time that I don't quite know what to say right now.

Pursing his lips, he started, “Mr. Dave, I think you should ask Anthony directly if you've got any questions instead of dragging bystanders into the mess. Isn't that so?”

Dave studied him for a moment before drawling, “I merely want to remind you to stay in the room and not to wander around.”

“Oh...” Benjamin murmured.

When the man said nothing further, he whirled around and left.

He's not asking me anything? He didn't ask me a single question!

With skepticism lingering within him, Benjamin returned to the room.

In the room, Benjamin swept his gaze around the space the instant he stepped in the door.

But then, no one was there.

Hence, he walked over to the bathroom door and knocked on the door.

Anthony's agonized voice drifted out from within. “My stomach is acting up...”

At that, Benjamin heaved a sigh. “Cut the act! I'm alone!”

In the next second, the door swung open. Anthony poked his head out and darted his eyes around.

Only after he had ascertained that Benjamin was alone did he breathe a sigh of relief. Then, he strutted out boldly.

Benjamin shot him a look. “You should've known better.”

In response, Anthony swept a gaze over him. “The situation then was special. I couldn't just do nothing and watch them lose when it had to do with whether we could save Nat. Besides, Mr. Dave was helping us. I would be an ingrate if I were to allow his team to lose. Therefore, it stood to reason that I should have acted.”

Benjamin nodded in agreement. “Well, if you had remained passive any longer, even I would've acted!”

“Then, I should've restrained myself a while longer at that time!” Anthony groaned.

Benjamin rolled his eyes at him. Does he even have a conscience?

In the next heartbeat, however, he asked, “Have you decided how to explain things later?”

Anthony regarded him dubiously. “You've already found an excuse for me, no? I'll just go with that!”

At present, that excuse is the most ideal!

“But you didn't seem as though you only learned a bit. You acted as though you weren't afraid that you'd be identified!” Benjamin teased.

“Was I that obvious?” Anthony queried.

“What do you think?”

After pondering for some time, Anthony clarified in slight embarrassment, “Mainly, it was because the situation then was urgent, so I had no time to consider so much. Oh well, I'm just too outstanding that it ultimately can't be concealed!”

Benjamin was rendered speechless.

Hah! As if!

He glowered at his brother, gripped by the urge to riposte him.

Right away, he rolled his eyes at Anthony.

Nevertheless, Anthony wasn't at all bothered.

No matter what others say and how they regard me, it's because they're jealous!

Benjamin trained his eyes on him. “It's still fine with Mr. Dave since we can still somewhat convince him. But what about Daddy? Do you think he won't learn about the matter today? Will you be able to brush things off?” he questioned.

“Why not? At worse, I'll just tell him that Nat taught me. She'll definitely back me up on this!” Anthony declared confidently.

Benjamin contemplated for a moment. “Just tell him the truth. He won't betray you!”

Following that, Anthony mulled it over. “Let me think about it when this matter has passed.”

“A single lie will require countless lies to keep the truth under wraps. Consider it carefully yourself,” Benjamin warned.

A frown marred Anthony's brows. “Who asked Daddy to talk ill about me? I should keep him in the dark. When he finds out one day... Hmph! His reaction will definitely be intriguing!”

“I don't know about that, but I do know that the scene of you both together then will definitely be intriguing!” Benjamin quipped.

The furrow of Anthony's brows deepened. “If you dare betray me again, I'll do the same!”

“I had no choice!”

“It was the same with me!”

Benjamin went silent.

He then narrowed his eyes at his brother. “I find that you're really vengeful, Anthony!”

“Such is the personality of those from the Watson family!” Anthony sounded all nonchalant. Besides, he wasn't ashamed of that but felt proud instead.

Shaking his head in exasperation, Benjamin flashed his brother a thumbs-up. He didn't say anything else but pivoted and walked to the side.

Anthony merely watched it all. Abruptly recalling some things, he instantly headed toward the computer and dealt with some remaining problems.

Meanwhile, after Anthony and Benjamin left, the initially excited crowd in the room slowly turned solemn.

They were fully aware that their victory that day was all thanks to Anthony.

While they could deny it as much as they wanted, they knew the truth well.

Miguel stepped forward. “Although we won today, Dave... the credit belongs to Anthony. Without him, we would've lost for sure!”

Upon hearing that, Dave shifted his gaze to him. “We're helping them in the first place, so it's only natural that he helped!”

“But we—”

“Miguel, in this world, there's always someone better out there. Furthermore, the near-loss during the confrontation with Vermillion Base today wasn't because you were weak. Instead, it was because they outnumbered you. Are you sure you'd all lose if it were one on one?” Dave interjected.

In response, Miguel shook his head at once.

Dave's eyes remained fixated on him. “There you go. All of you don't need to worry about this when even I don't mind it.”

“I merely feel that I've done wrong by you.” Miguel hung his head like a child who had done something wrong.

Dave looked at him, his features sharp and chiseled. “In that case, think about how you can do right by me and work hard in that direction. As for the result, that doesn't matter to me!”

Miguel lifted his eyes to the man, a trace of gratitude flashing across his eyes. Subsequently, he nodded firmly. “Got it, Dave. I'll definitely work doubly hard and never disappoint you!”

In return, Dave inclined his head.

“But...” Lifting his eyes, Miguel pinned them on the man. “Dave, how is Anthony... so incredible?”

His superb skills earlier truly had me astounded. Furthermore, I'd never seen such an attack in all these years. It was really exquisite!

Speaking of that, Dave fell into silent contemplation for a while. Sometime later, an indescribable smile bloomed on his face. “What do you think?”

“How would I know? He's just a kid, so how is he so skilled? Moreover, his capabilities surpass ours. This is simply unbelievable.” Miguel's voice brimmed with disbelief.

At his incredulous expression, Dave reached out and patted him on the shoulder. “Perhaps he's the source of your improvement.”

While he didn't give an answer, he offered a direction.

The instant Miguel heard that, his eyes lit up. “Dave, are you saying—”

However, Dave merely chuckled. “I didn't say anything!”

Understanding dawned upon Miguel. “Got it, Dave!”

“Study hard!” After saying that, Dave got up and left.

Miguel stood rooted to the spot. As he brooded over the man's words, his eyes glittered.

Just then, something abruptly occurred to him. I seem to have once seen such coding earlier somewhere. With that thought in mind, he quickly shot to his feet and strode toward the computer.
