You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth)

Chapter 1024 About To Go Crazy

Whether others were going mad or not, judging by Kyle's expression, he was certainly on the verge of going crazy.

Anthony remained as calm and composed as ever. “You may think he's gone mad, but to me, this is trust. In comparison, I find Mr. Dave to be more courageous. People like him are the ones who truly have a vision. The future development of DX will not be bad.”

Kyle listened, his dark eyes narrowing slightly. “No. It's just... Why does this sound a bit off?”

“Is it?” Anthony asked.

“Is it not?” Kyle retorted.

“I'm just telling it like it is,” Anthony said nonchalantly.

Kyle laughed coldly. “You're clearly insinuating something.”

“Who am I insinuating?”

“Me!”

“Ah, so you understand.” Anthony raised an eyebrow, his eyes instantly filled with playful teasing.

Kyle was gobsmacked. Shouldn't he be denying it? Why did he say that?

Anthony looked at him with a playful smile. “I was worried you wouldn't understand, but now I'm relieved.”

He was speaking with such a deliberate tone.

Kyle looked at the boy, feeling as if his lungs were about to explode.

In the past, when they teased each other in the group, Anthony was the type who would say something surprising after staying quiet for a while. However, he rarely showed up, so it wasn't much of an issue. However, Kyle felt like he was about to be annoyed to death at any moment by Anthony.

Taking a deep breath, he tried hard to calm his emotions, then looked at Anthony. “Anthony, are you saying that I lack the courage and vision compared to Dave?”

Anthony nodded. “A little.”

“I'm giving you a minute to rephrase your words,” Kyle enunciated.

Even though Kyle was furious, Anthony remained calm and unworried. After all, Kyle had shown greater anger in the past.

Anthony thought he should tick Kyle off occasionally. Otherwise, some things would never change.

“I suggest you don't give me this minute, or I'm afraid I may say something even more provocative,” Anthony said nonchalantly.

“I'm giving you a minute to gather your thoughts not to let you do that but to make me not lose my temper.”

“I'm sorry, but this is indeed a bit challenging for me.”

Kyle looked at him, feeling like he was on the verge of going insane.

He seemed tolerant, yet he always seemed to be driven up the wall by a child.

Just then, Thalia suddenly opened her eyes. Thalia looked at him, “Now you understand how annoying this kid can be, right? Considering how long I've stayed by his side, you should know how

hard it's been for me, right?”

Benjamin suddenly turned his head to look at her. “When did you wake up?”

“You all are so noisy. It'd be stranger if I didn't wake up,” Thalia said, turning her gaze to Kyle. “In any case, I want to apply for a reward. Just because of this kid, you should give me a six-month break to recover.”

Kyle's temper seemed to have quelled following Thalia's awakening. He looked at her and said, “Keep dreaming.”

Thalia furrowed her brows. “What do you mean by that? Shouldn't I be rewarded for this?”

“In that case, I reward you with an early return to the team, away from this kid,” Kyle said.

Thalia was speechless.

She glanced at Anthony, her long eyelashes fluttering. Then, she slowly began to speak. “Never mind. With Anthony's temper, he'll easily offend people if he goes out. I better stay with him to protect him.”

Kyle didn't know what to say.

Anthony rolled his eyes at her. “If you want to date, just date. Why are you making excuses involving me?”

Feeling as if her thoughts were read aloud, Thalia spoke up. “What are you talking about? Where did you get the idea that I want to be in a relationship? Tell me, haven't I been protecting you every step of the way since we met? Being in a relationship... That's just a side thing.”

Anthony rolled his eyes at her directly.

Upon hearing that, Kyle couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle.

Thalia looked at Anthony. “You little rascal. You're ungrateful.”

“I'm not taking the blame!”

“What's the big deal if you do it for me?” Thalia lowered her voice and retorted, bickering with Anthony. They were just like two kids squabbling in hushed tones.

Benjamin watched from the side, grinning.

Kyle, who was standing nearby, happened to catch that smile. How should I put this? There's a beautiful quality about this child. It's as if, while the world is in chaos, he's laughing. Everything seems to be connected to him, yet at the same time, it's not. If Anthony is the king standing at the pinnacle, flamboyant and dazzling, then Benjamin is the enigma of the mysterious world. He appears non-contentious and unassuming, the very picture of a good person. Yet, paradoxically, it is that very demeanor that makes it all the more difficult to fathom his thoughts.

By then, visions of their promising future had already started to unfold in Kyle's mind. I admit that DX indeed has a keen eye and isn't afraid to take action.

The mere thought of someone stealing his talents immediately caused Kyle to frown. This is something I can't tolerate!

Watching Kyle sitting in the chair, seemingly lost in thought, Thalia walked over to him and waved her hand in front of him.

Kyle gathered his thoughts and looked at her. “What are you doing?”

“What are you thinking about?”

Kyle's gaze instinctively swept toward Benjamin, and then he casually said, “It's nothing.”

However, there was something clearly on his mind, and it was reflected in his eyes.

Anthony noticed it, but he just remained silent.

The information they discussed today was quite substantial, and they all needed some time to digest it.

Anthony walked up and patted Thalia on the shoulder. “It's about time. We should get going.” This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Where to?”

“Home.”

Thalia furrowed her brows. “I haven't eaten yet.”

“Let's eat when we get back,” said Anthony, turning around and heading outside.

Upon seeing the situation, Thalia glanced at Kyle. After catching his gaze, she immediately followed him.

At that point, Benjamin took a glance at Kyle. “Although my brother's words may be annoying, I think it makes sense. I've been to DX and I understand their atmosphere. Overall, it's very good. They never resort to any means to restrain people, yet hardly anyone wants to leave.”

Upon seeing the situation, Kyle narrowed his eyes slightly. “I heard, a while ago, there was a traitor among them, wasn't there?”

Benjamin nodded, not denying it. “Yes, I won't deny it. However, can you guarantee that using such a method will be able to prevent that scenario?”

Kyle suddenly fell silent.

“I believe that what truly restrains people is never these external forces.”

“So what do you say it is?”

Benjamin pointed to his heart and said, “Here.”

Kyle looked at him and immediately fell silent.

“Only those who can restrain themselves will not encounter these problems. Take my brother and me, for example. Even though DX was once our father's place, its development is no less than that of Darknetz, and Mr. Dave treats us very well and trusts us, we still won't leave Darknetz. It's not for any other reason, but simply because we are too attached to this place and all our comrades in Darknetz.”

Kyle looked at him with a deep gaze.

“That's all I have to say. Think about it yourself!” After saying that, Benjamin nodded at him, then turned and walked away.
