Thalia was the first to step forward, giving them a simple hug. “Long time no see!”
“Long time no see!” the person said to her.
After exchanging greetings, their gaze shifted toward Anthony, who was standing not far away. Seeing that, Thalia also turned to look at Anthony.
“Come on!” said Thalia.
Upon hearing that, Anthony finally walked over.
“You should already know Kyle, so I won't bother introducing him. This is—”
“Holden.” Anthony spoke.
Upon hearing that, Holden slightly raised his eyebrows. “Do you know me?”
“Intuition!” Anthony said.
“Can a child's intuition be this accurate?” He squinted curiously, sizing Anthony up.
“My intuition comes from our everyday conversations and also from Thalia's description of you!” Anthony said.
Hearing that, Holden nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to Kyle. “You're right. He really is a smart kid!”
Hearing Holden's praise, Thalia squinted her eyes. She turned her gaze to Kyle. “Don't tell me Holden doesn't know yet?”
“That's right. I haven't mentioned it yet!”
Thalia was taken aback. “Didn't you mention this before?”
“I was going to mention it, but such an exciting matter shouldn't be experienced by me alone. Everyone should get involved!” Kyle said.
Upon hearing that, Thalia couldn't help but laugh. “It's you.”
“I'm just passing on the legacy.”
Listening to their back and forth, Holden narrowed his eyes. “What on earth are you talking about?”
Thalia gave him a slight smile. “Who do you think this child is?”
“Isn't he the new kid we brought in for training?” Holden asked in return. “Kyle said he's met him before, and this kid is very smart. From what I see today, he's indeed not bad.”
Thalia looked at Kyle with a teasing gaze. “Well, indeed, if you embarrass yourself, you might as well let others embarrass you too.”
“What does that mean?” Holden squinted his eyes.
“What does that mean? I won't say it. I should let the person who should speak do the talking.” Thalia raised an eyebrow, then walked straight inside.
Narrowing his eyes, Holden didn't understand what they were saying, but he was certain that it all revolved around the child.
He looked at Anthony, seemingly pondering something.
Anthony was in a bad mood and didn't have the patience to beat around the bush. Looking at Holden, he reached out his hand directly. “Hello, I'm Anthony Watson.”
Holden found it somewhat amusing. Since when do I have to shake hands with such a small child? But out of respect, he still extended his hand. However, just as he was about to grasp it, he suddenly froze, squinting his eyes. “Wait, who did you say you are?”
Kyle, who was standing nearby, started to laugh when he heard that.
“Did I hear wrong?” Holden asked.
“You heard it right. It's exactly as you're thinking,” Anthony stated directly.
“You're saying you're Anthony?” He looked at Anthony incredulously, repeating the name.
Anthony looked at him and nodded firmly.
Holden turned his head to look at Kyle, who raised an eyebrow. “What? Is there a problem?”
After a long pause, Holden spoke, each word deliberate and measured. “What do you think?”
“Surprise!” Kyle laughed like a gentleman, his eyebrows slightly raised as if showing off something. “What do you think? Quite a surprise, isn't it?”
Taking everything into account, Holden then looked at Anthony. “Are you sure you're not messing with me right now?”
After some thought, Anthony looked at him and said, “The last time you were on a mission, it was me who helped you out of a crisis at that critical moment.”
Upon hearing those words, Holden was slightly taken aback.
