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

On the other side.

Sub-base of Darknetz.

Kyle sat in the spacious conference room, reading the message sent by Thalia. His brows furrowed in concern.

Honestly, this outcome was beyond his expectations.

Even though Anthony and Benjamin had come and told him repeatedly that something was off, he had long been firmly convinced that it was Kenneth in his heart. Moreover, he had believed this for many years.

Now, a single denial had negated their years of resentment.

Although this outcome was beneficial for both them and Anthony, he knew that this matter wouldn't be easily settled.

Don't even mention Holden, but even he found it somewhat unbelievable.

After much consideration, Kyle decided to call Anthony.

At this moment, he wasn't asleep either. He was still sitting in front of the computer, chasing after the so-called clues.

"Still awake?" Kyle asked directly.

"Aren't you also not sleeping?" Anthony retorted.

"Why aren't you sleeping properly? You're just a kid who is still growing. What's the point of staying up late every night?" Kyle retorted.

"If you don't want me to stay up late, then get to the point. Once you're done, I can go to sleep." Anthony muttered, staring at his computer with his phone lying on the table. After a moment of contemplation, Kyle spoke, "Thalia has told me about it."

"Hmm..." Anthony responded nonchalantly. Even though he was brimming with excitement inside, he still managed to maintain a calm and composed demeanor.

"To be honest, I'm quite surprised by this outcome," Kyle said.

"So, what's next?" Anthony asked.

"I don't have a plan. I just wanted to discuss with you on what we should do next about this matter?"

"It's simple. Just be honest with Holden, and then tell him the truth."

"Based on what I know about him and what he's seen, he won't believe it if we suddenly tell him now," Kyle said.

Suddenly, Anthony stopped what he was doing, "But you said it yourself, that scar can prove it wasn't my dad who did it!"

"Yes, I said it. In fact, I could also talk to him, prove it to him, but the likely outcome is that he might end up not believing me either," Kyle said.

Anthony furrowed his brows. "So, you're saying there's no solution to this?"

Kyle took a deep breath "Holden always appears gentle and refined, but in reality, he's incredibly stubborn. The more carefree he seems, the more resolute he is about seeking revenge. Now, if we tell him that it wasn't Kenneth, and that he's been hating the wrong person, do you think he would believe it if you were in his shoes?"

"Even if he doesn't believe it, I still have to tell him, because it's the truth," emphasized Anthony.

"Yes, you're right, but what I'm thinking is, timing and setting are very important in this matter." "What do you mean?" Anthony asked.

"Aren't you supposed to be taking your parents back to Glenport City? I think you guys should leave first, and we won't discuss these matters with him for now. Once you're gone and he can't find Kenneth, he'll naturally calm down. At that point, I'll feed him the information you've found gradually, and let him discover the issues on his own. I believe that will be far more convincing than anything we could say," said Kyle softly.

Anthony listened to his words, and thought seriously for a moment, then murmured, "That could be a solution."

"So, you agree too?"

After some thought, Anthony said, "You understand him better than anyone else, so I'll leave this matter in your hands."

"Alright, since you've said so, I'll start making arrangements," Kyle said.

Anthony hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."

"When are you leaving?" Kyle asked directly.

"Tomorrow night if all goes as planned," Anthony said.

"Will Dave send you?" Kyle asked.

Upon hearing the sound, Anthony glanced at his phone, and remained silent.

On the other end of the phone, Anthony's silence spoke volumes. Even without seeing his eyes, Kyle could imagine his expression and reaction at that moment.

He said, "Rest assured. This wasn't your father's doing. Therefore, the animosity between Darknetz and DX no longer exists, and I certainly won't do anything to him." "Who knows?" Anthony said leisurely.

"What do you mean?" Kyle asked directly, "Your tone. Are you doubting me?"

"Yes. Why do you ask?"

"Kyle was a little disappointed. "Anthony, is this how you see me?"

"Yes!"

Kyle was at a loss for words, utterly infuriated by him.

He took a deep breath, then another. "Anthony Watson, is your goal in life just to annoy me?"

Upon hearing this, Anthony responded, "You're overthinking it. You're not significant enough to be my goal. My existence would be far too worthless if it were solely for you!" Kyle was getting annoyed.

What a piece of work. No one dares to claim the top spot in the art of pissing someone off if Anthony takes the second place.

But, I've long been used to his irritating remarks. Kyle replied, "From what you're saying, do you have a target in mind?" "It's always been there."

"Let's hear it."

"My goal is to make you and everyone else submit completely."

Oh my. "Anthony, I must say, you really have a bold tongue."

Anthony chuckled softly. "You don't believe me?"

"I've seen people brag before, but I've never seen anyone who dares to brag like this!" Kyle said directly. He would only dare to think about those words, but he would never actually brag like this. Anthony, however, was unfazed. "Since you don't believe me, you'll just have to wait and see. Sooner or later, you'll have to respectfully call me 'Mr. Anthony'."

"Mr. Anthony?" Upon hearing this, Kyle chuckled coldly. "If you were in front of me right now, I'd surely pull down your pants and give your butt a few hard slaps," Kyle stated directly. Anthony simply said, "Good night then."

"What's the matter? You can't stand that?"

"It's not that I can't stand it, it's just that your mindset is fixed. You will always use age to limit others."

"I am indeed the strength."

"If we're talking about power, by the time I'm as old as you, I could have you pants down too, and bask in the sun on the rooftop of Darknetz."

Bloody hell!

It's quite a vivid picture.

After some thought, Kyle said, "By that time, I'll be long retired. You won't have that opportunity."

"Don't worry. I'll always make sure your butt sees the sun wherever you are. Along the journey, you'll also get to experience the local customs and cultures of every place you visit." Are you serious?

He is threatening me with the utmost elegance.

Kyle listened on and muttered under his breath, "Will you really not let me off?”

"You know me. That's just how I am. I always repay a grudge."

"Alright, alright, you're the boss," Kyle conceded, looking at him. "We'll talk about the butt issue later. Let's focus on the important stuff first."

Anthony was also a person who knew when to stop. "Go ahead. Mr. Anthony is listening."

"Since you're leaving, how about I buy you a meal tomorrow?"

"No," Anthony flatly refused.

"Who knows when we'll meet again once we leave. Can you really leave just like this?" Kyle asked.

Anthony squinted his eyes leisurely and said, "Well, we will meet soon..."
