Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 995

Just as Anthony was about to speak, he saw Thalia not far away, frantically winking and shaking her head at him.

She was hinting at Anthony not to speak.

Anthony furrowed his brows, then said, “It's just as you all see.”

“What exactly did we see?” Kyle adjusted his sitting position. He went there specifically to clarify that matter, but he could clearly sense that Anthony was beating around the bush.

Anthony pursed his lips. “The parts about unmanned aircraft and Vermillion Base are all correct!”

Kyle narrowed his eyes, instantly becoming serious. “Do you know what people are saying out there right now?”

“I've been a bit busy lately, so I haven't really been keeping up with the news.”

Kyle was so angry he didn't know where to vent. “Right now, everyone outside is saying that Darknetz and DX have joined forces to wipe out the Vermillion Base.”

Upon hearing that, Anthony remained unimpressed. He furrowed his brows, then looked at Kyle. “What's your take on that rumor?”

“I—” Kyle looked at the boy, suddenly choking up.

At that moment, Holden looked at Anthony. “You should know something about what's going on between me and DX. So, Anthony, it can't be like what the rumors outside are saying, right?”

Anthony looked at Holden without uttering a word.

However, his silence only made people worry more.

“Have you really teamed up with DX?” Kyle asked directly, his voice noticeably louder.

Holden also looked at the boy, his eyes slightly narrowing.

After hesitating, Anthony finally said, “Kyle, Holden, you consider me a friend, and I feel the same about you. Therefore, I don't want to lie to you.”

Kyle narrowed his eyes at Anthony. “And?”

“Indeed, we teamed up with DX to wipe Vermillion Base out!”

Kyle abruptly stood up, slapping the table.

He looked at Anthony, so angry that he couldn't utter a single word.

Thalia frowned.

Anthony looked at them. “I know you're angry, and I'm aware of my actions. Thus, I accept whatever punishment you want to impose on me.”

“Stop beating around the bush and tell me when did you start colluding with DX,” Kyle asked directly.

Anthony frowned. “It's cooperation, not collusion!”

“What's the difference?” Kyle retorted, “Even if you had no other choice, why didn't you tell us? We're buddies. Why wouldn't we help you? I don't understand why you have to team up with DX. Out of everyone, why DX?” Kyle said, frustrated and upset.

Gradually, Anthony's gaze shifted to Holden, who was standing off to the side.

Holden sat upright, his handsome features slightly tense. His hand, which was resting on the table, was also clenched a bit tighter.

After a long silence, Anthony looked up and said, “I'm sorry.”

With that apology, he only further solidified the “collusion” assumption Kyle had.

Kyle looked at the boy. “Why? Haven't I treated you well enough or given you enough authority? Why must you choose DX?”

“Because this is my personal matter. I don't want to drag you all into it!” exclaimed Anthony.

“Bullsh*t!” Kyle suddenly blurted out, seemingly forgetting that the person sitting across from them was just a child no older than ten.

Seeing Kyle angry, Anthony pursed his lips and remained silent, allowing the former to vent.

However, the more Anthony remained silent, the angrier Kyle became. The latter stood up, kicking the chair over with one foot.

Clang!
