Chapter 662

"Daddy, Nat, we'll be taking our leave to go search for her," said Anthony.

Regaining her senses, Natasha asked, "Wait, does Spencer know?"

"Yes, he already started searching for her."

Natasha stared at them. "Let's go, then. We'll go with you."

Just then, Kenneth grabbed Natasha's hand, prompting the woman to look at him. "You stay at home," he stated in a low voice. "I'll go with them."

"But-"

"What if Thalia's only doing something and comes back later? Who's going to inform us of her return?"

Staring at the man, Natasha pondered for a moment before nodding. "All right. Be careful, then."

Kenneth nodded, then turned his attention to the children. "Let's go."

Hearing that, the children said, "We'll take our leave, then, Nat."

"Okay."

When they were about to leave, Anthony seemed to have thought of something as he looked at Natasha. "Nat, I called Kyle earlier, and he didn't sound anxious, so everything must be fine. You don't need to worry."

Natasha smiled while looking at him. "Okay, I got it."

Nodding, Anthony followed Kenneth out.

After watching them leave, Natasha turned around and grabbed her phone to give Spencer a call.

"I've just heard about it. How's it going? Have you found her?"

There was a moment of silence before she added, "Don't joke around, Spencer. It could be really dangerous for Thalia to go out like this."

Meanwhile, Kenneth was driving. Anthony and Benjamin sat at the back of the car.

With one hand on the steering wheel, Kenneth seemed tense as he occasionally looked out the window to see if he could replace signs of Thalia.

Right then, Anthony spoke from behind. "Daddy, let us look out for her. You should focus on driving to keep us safe."

Glancing at Anthony through the rearview mirror, Kenneth nodded. "Okay."

With that, the children continued looking out the window.

"Daddy." Anthony turned to look at Kenneth.

"Yeah?"

"Why would you come out to search for Thalia?"

"Is there a problem?"

Did he seriously ask me that?

Hearing that question, Anthony leaned forward. "You're from DX Group, Daddy, and she's from Darknetz. Don't you see the problem?"

"I would've forgotten she's from Darknetz had you not mentioned it."

"I would've forgotten she's from Darknetz had you not mentioned it."

"What do you mean?"

"Meaning I'm doing this for Nat, not because I personally want to."

Anthony thought for a while before questioning again, "Then... what about that time when you rescued her?"

"When?"

"When Spencer and Thalia were attacked overseas."

"I rescued Spencer, not her," Kenneth explained calmly.

"But then you let her rest in the castle after that," Anthony pressed.

"That's Mr. Dave's castle. I wasn't the one who let her stay." As he pondered for a minute, he corrected, "I was also not the one who rescued them; it was Mr. Dave."

"But Mr. Dave was only heeding your words! If not for you, he wouldn't have done so!"

Upon hearing that, Kenneth fell into deep thought before nodding. "Well, that's true."

At his words, Anthony leaned forward again. "So does that mean you no longer hold a grudge against Darknetz?"

Kenneth seemed indifferent. "The grudge against them didn't start with me, anyway. I was just following the company."

"S-So it means you have really let go of the grudge?"

Kenneth raised his eyes and shot a look at the kid through the rearview mirror, and Anthony understood the meaning behind it.

Retracting his gaze, Kenneth stated in a cold tone, "It depends on how they behave."

"Does that mean if they let go of the grudge, you'll do too?" Anthony asked again.

"Not necessarily."

"Huh? Then what did you mean by that?"

"I'm not the type of person who'll let people do whatever they want."

"Even so, Daddy, you have to view things from a different perspective. All your kids are part of Darknetz. Besides, you once said that if Darknetz could let go of the grudge, you'd pretend as if nothing ever happened."

"Really? I said that?" Kenneth asked, to which Anthony nodded.

"Since you remember what I said, why did you ask me again?"

"I was just trying to confirm!"

"You want him to come here, don't you?" asked Kenneth, which stunned Anthony.

I truly can't hide anything from him.

With that thought in mind, Anthony replied, "Not really. It's just that he's been searching for me, so I have a feeling he'll show up sooner or later."

Despite what Anthony said, Kenneth was unfazed. "Are you scared we'll bump into each other?"

Anthony nodded in response.

The corners of Kenneth's lips tugged upward. "Considering your identity, it's a given this day will come."

"Could you promise me to remain calm and not be impulsive, Daddy?"

"They're unworthy for me to go wild."

"No, what I mean is when the time comes, could you maybe... let them go?"

Kenneth glanced at Anthony as he rebuked in a low tone, "Then would you three leave Darknetz for me?"

His question rendered Anthony speechless.

Seeing the kid not saying anything, Kenneth added, "It's the same logic. Don't ask others to do what you don't want to do."

"I'm not forcing you, Daddy. I just think it's better to let go of the enmity rather than keeping it going," stated Anthony.

"Go and persuade them first and then come back to me. If they agree to let it go, then I see no problem about it."

"Really?"

"But I can't say for certain about other stuff," Kenneth added, rendering Anthony tongue-tied.

Staring at Kenneth, Anthony released a heavy sigh. The initial excitement he felt seconds earlier quickly damped down.

However, he understood where Kenneth was coming from.

If they could not leave Darknetz for Kenneth, then Kenneth should not let go of the antagonism just for their sake, either.

At that thought, Anthony nodded. "Got it."

He looked out the window once more.

Right then, Kenneth asked, "Have you thought of what you're going to do if they replace out you're my son?"

Anthony turned his head around. "What do you mean?"

"You'll have to see if they'll accept you if they discover who you truly are. Only then can we talk about letting go of the grudge."

Knitting his eyebrows, Anthony asked, "They wouldn't do something to me just because of you, would they?"

"Well, that's not impossible."

Anthony was stupefied, seeing that Kenneth looked certain.
