Chapter 143
Anthony knew Kenneth had already found out about Thalia’s identity.
However, he didn’t want to lose his calm. He said innocently, “That’s not necessary. I think she’s
doing a good job at teaching me. Besides, she’s very nice to me, and she won’t hurt me!”
“Hurt you? That’s not what I’m worried about. I’m worried that—” Kenneth didn’t finish his
sentence. Should I reveal so much to him? No matter what, Thalia won’t hurt him. But what if her
identity causes Anthony trouble?
In the end, Kenneth thought it through and decided not to speak his mind. I’ll just deal with it.
There’s no point in upsetting him.
Holding that thought, Kenneth smiled and said, “All right, then. Since you’ve already made up your
mind, I won’t say anything further. But don’t hesitate to look for me if you need anything.”
Anthony nodded. “Sure!”
Kenneth felt as though he was talking to his younger self when he saw Anthony’s adorable face.
The more they chatted, the more relaxed they felt talking to each other. Needless to say, the
atmosphere was no longer as awkward as before. They were then engaged in small talks, and
none of them said that they wanted to leave.
When it was getting later into the night, one could see the pair of them chatting while sitting by the
window in a lit-up room. It was a rather harmonious scene.
Meanwhile, Thalia was in a car parked far away from the store as she watched Kenneth and
Anthony talk. It doesn’t seem like their conversation is ending soon.
She couldn’t help but yawn.
Just as she was about to adjust to a comfortable sleeping posture, her phone vibrated, and she
saw a line of garbled code coming in.
That was their unique communicating method. As for the code, they were the only ones who
understood it.
Seeing that Kyle had already started threatening, Thalia hesitated for a while before entering the
Darknetz chatroom.
Upon entering, she received a myriad of messages.
Thalia knew what were those messages about without even looking at them. Indeed, those were
messages asking for Anthony’s photo.
As a core member of Darknetz, Anthony was incredible. Besides, he had always been showing up
in the most mysterious ways possible. Hence, everyone was intrigued by him.
When Thalia got into the chatroom, Kyle messaged her: Thalia, where have you been?
Thalia replied: I’ve been busy.
Kyle: Busy? What are you so busy with?
Thalia: I’ve been helping Anthony with some personal matters.
Kyle: Is Anthony in trouble?
Thalia: You can say so. But the problem is solved!
Kyle breathed a sigh of relief and replied: Who dared to find trouble with him? Do they have a
death wish or something?
Thalia didn’t answer that question. I better keep it to myself. Even if I were to say something about
it, it would be too complicated to talk about!
Upon getting no reply from Thalia, Kyle asked: Where’s the photo of Anthony that I’ve asked for?
Thalia: Um… He doesn’t want me to take a photo of him.
Kyle: Can’t you just take a photo of him without him knowing?
Thalia: Well, I could, but he nearly leaked my personal details the last time he caught me taking a
photo of him. Do you think I would still dare to commit the same mistake?
Kyle frowned and replied: How did he find out about it the last time around?
Thalia: I don’t know what he installed on my phone. Every time I opened the camera application,
he would receive a notification on his end. Also, he threatened me by saying that if he ever
catches me doing it again, he will show me no mercy. So? Do you think I still dare to take the risk?
Kyle frowned. The others had mostly dealt with Anthony on the internet. Hence, they knew for a
fact that although Anthony wouldn’t talk much, he would always stand firm on his words whenever
he spoke.
That was why he believed Thalia’s words right away.
Kyle was getting curious when he texted: Since you said you’ve already met him, what does he
have to hide?
Thalia: How would I know?
Upon contemplation, Kyle replied: Fine. Since you can’t take a photo of him, tell me what he looks
like. Who is he, actually?
Kyle was getting even more curious. If I didn’t have a mission to complete, I would have gone over
personally and met him!
Thalia adjusted her sitting position and rested her slender legs against the front seat. She leaned
backward and seemed relaxed.
She was thinking about the explanation she could offer Kyle. With her mind filled with Kenneth’s
facial features and characteristics, she asked: Have you ever seen Kenneth Hamilton?
Kyle: Kenneth? What does he have to do with this?
Thalia: Well, Anthony looks very much like him.
The only difference is that one of them has a smaller figure compared to the other. Anthony will
look just like him when he grows up, right? Thalia thought she had given Kyle a good answer.
Since she had already made a promise to Anthony, she intended to keep it. What a perfect
answer!
Kyle only replied after a while: I’ve never interacted with him before. But I’ve seen him from afar
when I was carrying out a mission abroad.
Thalia: You’ve seen him before? That’s perfect, then. You don’t need me to describe how Anthony
looks!
Kyle: How about his detailed appearance?
Thalia: You don’t need that! You already have enough information!
Thalia thought inwardly. In fact, Anthony looks exactly like Kenneth.
Kyle went silent for a while before replying: Holy sh*t! Are Anthony and Kenneth the same person?
If that’s the case… What the f*ck are we supposed to do? Kyle was startled when that idea popped
up in his head. He then sent Thalia a few messages in a row.
Upon seeing those incoming messages, Thalia replied: No. Anthony isn’t Kenneth. They just look
the same!
Kyle: He isn’t Kenneth? Then why would you say he looks very much like Kenneth? Do they just
look the same or act the same way as well? Do they have the same attitude? Do they have the
same age? Be more specific!
Thalia: Well, everything’s the same! In terms of age, Anthony is younger than Kenneth.
Thalia wondered if she had broken the promise she made. I made myself clear, didn’t I?
Kyle went silent again before replying: Okay, I get what you mean. He’s a person who looks a lot
like Kenneth, right?
Thalia nodded and replied: Yes, you can say so.
Kyle: So, Anthony’s quite handsome, isn’t he? Why won’t he reveal his face? All this while, I
thought he was an ugly person, and he was too ashamed to show his face!
Thalia snickered to herself upon seeing that reply. Back then, she had the same idea as well. She
only realized she had underestimated the situation when she saw Anthony.
Finally, Kyle mentioned the main point when he texted: No matter what, you have to convince
Anthony to come out of hiding, Thalia. Darknetz needs him!
Thalia: I’ll do my best…
Kyle: If you can’t do it, I’ll go over there myself!
Thalia raised her brows when she saw the message. At the same time, a hint of intrigue flashed Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
across her eyes. I knew that would happen one day, but I didn’t expect Kyle to be so eager. He’s
going to look even more puzzled than I was when I saw Anthony.
At that thought, Thalia was filled with anticipation.
She had already imagined what the scene would be like if Kyle were to meet Anthony when she
replied: If you can come over, I think you won’t be disappointed.
Kyle: Try to convince him first, will you? I’ll fly there after I’m done with my current mission!
Thalia was looking forward to that day when she answered: Okay!
