Twenty minutes later, Anthony looked at them and asked, “What do you think?”
Upon listening to his plan, Benjamin and Denise exchanged glances. “There's no problem with your plan. But does Daddy know about it?” asked Benjamin.
Anthony picked up the cup of water in front of him, took a sip, and shook his head.
“So, you are planning to hide it from Daddy, aren't you?” Benjamin questioned.
“I'm not hiding it from Daddy. It's just that he disagreed with using the power of Darknetz. But we can't get rid of Vermillion Base on our own. This is the only way I can think of.”
“That's true.” Benjamin nodded after listening to Anthony's explanation.
“Just tell me if you two want to do it,” Anthony said.
“Let's do it!” Denise slapped the table before Benjamin could say anything,
The two boys stared at her, surprised.
“Look at how they bullied Nat. We must get this done!” she said furiously.
Amused by their sister's reaction, the boys burst into laughter.
However, she looked at them with a trace of anger on her delicate face. “What are you guys laughing at? I'm serious. Before this, I only knew from you guys that Nat came here to find the truth. I never know this place is so dangerous, let alone know what she has experienced....” A tinge of self-blame and sadness flashed across her eyes.
The boys looked at her. “Well, it's all in the past, and now isn't the time to recall those times.”
“That's why I'm joining this time,” said Denise, staring at her brothers.
“Denise, if you're not going to receive training from Darknetz, my suggestion is that you should not get involved in this.” Anthony frowned at her.
“Why?” The girl was confused.
“It's for your future,” he answered solemnly.
Upon hearing that, Benjamin chimed in, “Yeah. Don't get yourself involved if possible. We'll take care of this matter and avenge Nat.”
Denise pondered for a moment before shifting her gaze to her brothers. “Even if I only play a minimal role in this, I still want to do it. Otherwise, I can't feel at ease.”
She seemed very determined.
Looking at their sister, the boys knew she was persistent and would not change her mind once she had made the decision.
As such, they did not continue to persuade her. Anthony parted his lips and said, “All right, then. No matter what happens, do bear in mind that the most important thing is to protect yourself well.”
Denise nodded. “Don't worry. We're doing this for the sake of revenge, not to put ourselves in danger and make Nat sad.”
“Yeah, that's right,” Benjamin agreed.
Suddenly, Anthony looked at his siblings, slightly quirking the corner of his lips. “I still have to deal with one more person before we do this.”
Benjamin and Denise stared straight at him as he continued, “Benjamin, Miguel told me that Mr. Dave has an armory here. Don't you like that very much? I think we can get Daddy and Mr. Dave to take you there to have a look.”
Benjamin was indeed interested in the armory, but he could tell there was another meaning behind Anthony's words.
“Just say what you have in mind,” he stated.
“Help me keep Daddy and Mr. Dave busy tomorrow,” said Anthony.
“Got it.” Benjamin lifted the corner of his lips into a smile.
“What about me?” asked Denise.
“Keep Nat company and see if you can get her to draw a topographic map of Vermillion Base,” Anthony replied.
Denise frowned as she heard that. “I guess mine is the hardest task, huh?”
“You can do it.” Anthony was full of confidence.
“All right, then,” she agreed with her lips pursed.
As soon as her words fell, a flash of hostility crossed Anthony's gaze. The plan has just begun!
The following day, the three children arrived at the hidden room.
As soon as Anthony made his appearance, Miguel noticed him and got up from his seat. “Master, you're here.”
He had never trifled with Anthony just because the latter was a child. On the contrary, he had an indescribable admiration for the little boy, thinking that the latter was a genius for being so capable at such a young age.
Meanwhile, Anthony walked over and sat down without saying anything.
Seeing that, Miguel hurriedly picked up a lollipop from the side, unwrapped it, and handed it over to him.
After sweeping a glance over it, Anthony took the lollipop and popped it into his mouth.
Denise, who followed behind him, could not help but feel confused by what she saw. She turned to Benjamin and asked, “When did Tony take in disciples?”
Benjamin raised his brows languidly, saying nothing.
Denise lowered her voice and inquired, “Did he expose his identity?”
“I'm not sure either,” Benjamin answered.
The two of them then looked ahead.
At that time, Miguel was standing behind Anthony, massaging the latter's shoulders and back. “Relax, Master. We must get him today.”
Anthony stared at the computer and whispered, “Stop bootlicking me. Just sit aside and watch.”
Miguel naturally knew that Anthony was actually teaching him.
Without uttering a word, he took a stool and sat on the side.
Benjamin and Denise went up upon seeing that. “We'll go first.”
“Keep in touch at all times.” Anthony nodded at them.
Benjamin and Denise inclined their heads in response and strode away.
Once Denise left, Miguel asked, “Who's that little girl? She's so pretty!”
“My younger sister.”
Anthony's words stunned the man. “Do you mean your biological sister?”
“What else can it be?” Anthony retorted.
“I don't mean anything else. I just think both of you don't look alike,” Miguel said after a moment of silence.
“Well, she inherited all the good traits of Daddy and my mommy,” Anthony explained calmly.
Miguel nodded as he listened. “Now that I think about it, she does look a bit like Kenneth...”
Anthony did not speak again but had his eyes on the monitor. Soon, he began to type on the keyboard.
Noticing that, Miguel quickly stared at the screen.
Anthony's coding skills were indeed jaw-dropping. Miguel felt his eyes could not catch up with the boy's typing speed as he watched from the sidelines.
“Master, slow down.”
“This is not only about the eyes and brain but also the speed of our fingers,” Anthony said in a low voice.
While talking, he met the person he came across last time on the internet.
The person asked, “Are you serious?”
“Of course. Otherwise, how will you know there is always someone better than you?” Anthony replied.
The person commented, “Brat, you are the most arrogant person I've ever met. I hope you can still be so complacent after this.”
“Oh, really? Honestly, you are very ordinary among those I've ever met,” Anthony taunted.
Seeing that, Miguel failed to stifle a chuckle.
Master is excellent at words! Not only does he have top-notch coding skills, but he also has a sharp tongue that can anger somebody to death!
The person declared, “Let's have a match to determine the winner, then!”
“Sure. How do you want it to be done?” Anthony inquired.
“Let's play something more exciting. Both of us will turn on our location and see who's the first to hack into the other party's computer to locate their address.”
Anthony spoke. “The time limit.”
“Twenty minutes!”
“All right. Cut the nonsense and get started, then!”
However, the person suddenly stopped him by saying, “Wait a minute.”
Anthony riposted, “What? Are you chickening out?”
“Nah! I'm not chickening out. I only want to add that the loser has to promise the other party one thing.”
Anthony did not want to give much consideration to the must-win game. Hence, he agreed without hesitation, “Sure. I have no problem with that.”
When Miguel heard that, he knitted his brows and cautioned, “Master, don't fall into his trap.
Anthony turned to look at him. “Do you think I will lose?”
“I...” Miguel hurriedly shook his head. “That's not what I meant.”
“Shut up, then!” Anthony shot him the side-eye.
With that, the boy withdrew his gaze and continued to stare at the computer. The internet battle had begun.
