Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 654

Chapter 654

“Did you see that? Daddy was obviously feeling guilty.” Anthony told Benjamin and Denise when they were back in their room.

“Yeah, that was a little strange.” Denise nodded in agreement. “Why must the adults do this? Instead of being honest with us, they insist on making us find the truth ourselves bit by bit!”

Right then, Benjamin piped up, “They don't want us to know because they're afraid we'll take action on our own and get into danger. At the same time, they don't want us to worry.”

“They don't want us to worry?” Denise echoed, falling into deep thought.

“Benjamin's right,” Anthony agreed.

“But Nat is the only person we'd be worried about...” his sister murmured. Looking up at him, she asked, “Is it related to her?”

“We aren't sure about that yet, so we'll have to discover that ourselves,” Anthony voiced.

Benjamin bobbed his head. “What happened outside Thalia's room earlier was rather strange as well. If it were just a simple checkup and changing of medicine, Nat wouldn't have waited before the door for that long.”

When Denise heard his suspicion, she chimed in, “Yes, I was curious about that, but just as I was about to bring it up, Thalia regained consciousness, and Nat walked into her room.”

“So they are hiding more than one thing from us?” Anthony speculated.

“Daddy and the others will definitely be going into action again in the next few days. We have to keep an eye on them,” Benjamin declared.

Anthony nodded. “Let's do that, then. If there are any updates, post them in our group chat.”

“Sure.”

“Okay!”

His two siblings concurred with his decision.

Just then, Anthony's phone rang.

Benjamin and Denise turned to look at him.

“It's Miguel,” Anthony informed them before he answered the call.

“Hello,” he said into the receiver.

“Master, where are you?” Miguel's piteous voice sounded over the line.

“I'm upstairs. Why?”

“Help!” Miguel yelped.

“What is it? Just say it straight out.”

“That person hacked into my phone. What should I do now?” Miguel asked.

Hearing a trace of nervousness in his voice, Anthony assured him, “I'll head over right now.”

“Okay!”

After the call ended, Benjamin asked, “What's wrong?”

“That person caused trouble again. This time, they hacked into Miguel's phone. I need to go and take a look,” Anthony revealed.

“Let's go, then. We can't fish for any information now, so we might as well check out the situation together,” Benjamin suggested.

Hence, the trio headed to the hidden room together.

Just as they arrived at the doorway, they saw Miguel slumping on the floor right before the door, looking downcast.

Anthony went over to him. “What's going on? Are you giving up this soon?” he asked, shooting him a glance.

“Master, what should I do? I've been insulted!” Miguel cried. He acted as though the boy was his lifesaver.

“Why? Were you raped?” Anthony retorted.

Miguel was rendered speechless. It took him a few seconds to recover his voice. “I was talking about my phone getting hacked!”

“Oh, that's nothing,” Anthony replied, his voice dripping in disdain.

“That's nothing? Master, I'm among the top five hackers in the world! What will people think of me if word gets out that my phone got hacked?” Miguel complained.

Anthony stared at him. “How impressive. You don't have skills, yet you value your pride, huh?”

“Master!”

“All right. Give me your phone!” Anthony urged.

Instantly, Miguel offered his phone to him without hesitation.

Anthony took it and perused his phone. A while later, he said, “It did get hacked. What did you do? Did you browse an illegal website?”

“Of course not!” Miguel replied hastily.

“Then why did it get hacked for no reason?” Anthony inquired.

“I-I don't know. I merely used my phone to enter a forum and saw people chatting on it. I then clicked on a link... Was it that link?” Realization dawned on Miguel suddenly.

Seeing his reaction, Anthony remarked, “Clearly, it was that link.”

“D*mn! I can't believe they pulled such a despicable trick on me!” Miguel cursed.

“Let's go!” Anthony ordered and strode into the hidden room.

Upon arriving before the computer, he stretched his hand out and said curtly, “Cable.”

Miguel gave him the cable immediately.

The boy then connected the phone to the computer with the cable. At once, lines of codes and a progress bar appeared on the computer screen.

“It's a Trojan horse,” Anthony said.

“Yes, it's a Trojan horse. I tried many times but failed to remove it!” Miguel revealed.

Anthony swept his gaze over him. “Don't tell anyone I'm your master.”

“Why?” Miguel asked curiously.

Denise piped up, “Why else? You're embarrassing, of course!”

Words eluded Miguel then and there.

He quickly turned to Anthony and vowed, “Master, you'll always be my master!”

The boy did not bother replying to him. With his gaze fixated on the screen, Anthony started to remove the software.

However, Miguel's phone still did not show any signs of recovery, even after a few moments had passed. A smile tugged at Anthony's lips as he commented, “Interesting.”

Miguel looked at him. “What's wrong? Master, you can't remove it either?”

“There's nothing I can't do,” came Anthony's reply. He then continued typing on the keyboard.

The rest observed him from behind. While Miguel was anxious, Benjamin and Denise appeared much calmer.

Soon, the virus on Miguel's phone was close to being removed. At that moment, Anthony looked up and ordered, “Benjamin, come help me. I want to know who's so flashy as to set this trap for me.”

“Why must you get my help when you can do this alone?” Benjamin inquired.

“Quit yapping and hurry up!” Anthony urged.

With great reluctance, Benjamin trudged over, took his seat, and thus joined his older brother's efforts to find the hacker.

Behind them, Miguel blinked quite a few times as he stared at the brothers. Am I seeing things? What is going on?

He darted a few more glances between Anthony and Benjamin. Once he confirmed that it was not a hallucination, he turned to Denise and stammered, “I-Is he...”

“Yeah!” The little girl bobbed her head. “He only knows a little bit,” she said nonchalantly.

Miguel was at a loss for words.

Judging from what Benjamin's doing now, I doubt he only knows a little bit! Wait, that isn't the main point. My question is—it's impressive enough that one of the children in their family can code, so why is it that Benjamin knows it too?

Noticing that he seemed staggered, Denise sighed in resignation. “Oh, we just remembered some stuff from watching Tony in action way too many times. I'm telling the truth—we didn't learn much, so there's nothing to be surprised about.”

“Are you saying that you can do it too?” Miguel asked.

The little girl mulled over his question. “Just a little bit,” she replied in a sing-song voice.

Once again, he was rendered speechless.

Was God truly fair when He created humans?

Right then, the rest gathered to observe the boys.

They were deeply amazed by Anthony's and Benjamin's skills.

Benjamin was just deleting the virus on the phone normally. It was nothing too technical, but due to Anthony's prior actions, they could not help but consider the two boys to be proficient in hacking.

Soon, Benjamin was close to finishing the task he was assigned to do. “I'm almost done,” he declared.

“Give me one minute,” Anthony answered curtly.

Right afterward, his fingers danced across the keyboard quickly. Less than a minute later, he smiled and said, “Got it.”

With that, everyone inched nearer to get a closer look. Anthony curled his lips into a smirk as he eyed the person on the screen. “I knew it!”
