You're Out Daddy

Chapter 515

Meanwhile, Natasha and the others left the uninhabited zone in the middle of the night, according to

Dave's arrangements.

Kenneth was unconscious throughout the entire journey. Hence, Natasha kept watch with Anthony and

Benjamin keeping her company.

As they were leaving, Natasha's emotions seemed unstable.

Noting that, Anthony studied her and asked, “Nat, have you discovered the truth from the past?”

Natasha slowly retracted her gaze and glanced at him, nodding.

“Who was it?” asked Anthony hurriedly.

Benjamin, too, widened his eyes with curiousness.

However, Natasha knew her children too well.

The fact that they could follow her there meant they were capable of doing anything.

Narrowing her gaze, Natasha simply answered, “That's my problem.”

“But you're our mommy. Your problem is also ours,” said Anthony.

“So? Are you going to help me take revenge?” asked Natasha.

Anthony nodded.

Sitting by the side, Benjamin nodded as well, looking as determined as his brother.

While gazing at them, Natasha pondered for a moment before parting her lips. “Anthony, Benjamin, my

life has been filled with nightmares and feelings of hatred since young because your grandparents died

an unknowing death. It's been something on my mind for many years, and I can never be at peace if I

don't end this personally. However, I don't want to involve you in this mess of hatred and grudges. Do

you understand?”

Anthony stared intently at her. “But—”

“So, you two must not avenge me even if something happens to me,” stated Natasha.

The boys froze. They could not imagine such a hypothetical situation.

“Nat, I'll make everyone in that family pay the price if something really happens to you,” promised

Anthony.

“Anthony!”

“Nat, you can't be so selfish. How could you ask that of us when you can avenge Granny and

Granddad?” questioned Anthony.

Natasha gazed at him, momentarily at a loss for words.

Right then, Benjamin piped up, “Nat, Anthony's right. Try putting yourself in our shoes. You can't even

let that matter go. What more when we're in the same situation in the future?”

Shifting her gaze to Benjamin, Natasha said, “That's because I'm your mommy. I want you two to live

your lives well.”

“How do you know that's not what Granny and Granddad think?” asked Anthony.

Natasha gazed at him with a frown.

Sensing the tense atmosphere, Benjamin nudged Anthony with his elbow. Even so, Anthony still kept

his eyes fixed on Natasha. One would not notice the thin layer of tears in his eyes if they did not look

closely.

“Because I couldn't say goodbye to them. I didn't get to exchange one final word with them...” Natasha

trailed off and lowered her gaze.

She had never appeared so weak before the boys, and it made their hearts ache.

Anthony scooted over and muttered, “Nat... I didn't mean that.”

“We're just worried about you,” said Benjamin.

Natasha lifted her gaze and stared at them, her lips curling into a faint smile. “I know. I shouldn't be

asking you this, but I promise I'll protect myself and put my safety first in whatever I do.”

Hearing that, Anthony and Benjamin finally responded with a solemn nod.

“But you have to promise me you'll do nothing extreme for me. I have to solve this on my own,” stated

Natasha.

Upon hearing that, the boys exchanged looks and gave her a firm nod.

“Can we help you, then?” asked Anthony.

His question seemed to trigger something in Natasha's mind. “Oh, that's right. I forgot to ask you this.

Who were those you sent to pick us up during the transaction? Do they know who you are?”

Anthony shook his head immediately. “They don't. They were the ones who took down the bounty list

and went to the uninhabited zone. That's why I thought of making them place all of you together so I

can inform you about anything.”

Hearing that, Natasha nodded and cast him a serious gaze. “Anthony, you must remember to keep

your identity a secret, okay?”

Anthony nodded fervently. “Don't worry, Nat. I've never told Daddy about it, either!”

Natasha narrowed her eyes. “Your daddy doesn't know?”

At that, Anthony sighed helplessly. “There was once when I wanted to, but Daddy heard some rumors

from God knows where and came back telling me how bad Anonymous is. That's why I told him

nothing.”

“Rumors?”

“Remember how you didn't dare to react to the hacker world back then? I followed your orders. In the

end, those people spread the news about us being... That's probably why Daddy misunderstood,”

explained Anthony.

It was Natasha's first time hearing about that matter.

Anthony had already known about his identity in the past, but Natasha did not. When she appeared

that one time, Anonymous flattered her enthusiastically like a fan, yet Natasha thought nothing about it.

Now that she thought back, she realized Anonymous did sound like Anthony.

As she was thinking about that, she recalled how Kenneth's expression changed at the mention of

Anonymous' name during the transaction with Boss.

I see...

Natasha could not help but curl her lips and lower her gaze at Anthony. “Do you plan to tell your daddy,

then?”

“I... haven't decided. I'll go with your decision,” answered Anthony.

“This is your matter. You make the decisions here. You can keep it a secret if you don't want to, but I'll

also give you my support if you want to tell him,” said Natasha.

A vicious tiger won't eat its own cubs, after all. Besides, Kenneth's quite qualified to be a father. I don't

think I have to worry much about him.

Anthony fell silent for a moment before saying, “I'll think about it.”

Natasha nodded in response.

“You should explain things to him as soon as possible. I'm sure you're somewhat exposed through this

attack at Vermillion Base. Besides, Mr. Dave might be keeping quiet about it, but he's not like Miguel

and the others. He's not that easy to fool, either. Things will be difficult to explain once this reaches

Daddy's ears.”

Natasha frowned in confusion. “What do you mean?”

Hence, Anthony recounted the entire situation to her.

Upon hearing that, she frowned harder.

“These people are the ones Mr. Dave trusts the most. It should be fine. Besides, I didn't expose

myself,” Anthony assured.

Natasha fell deep into thoughts for a moment before muttering, “This excuse is quite good, but it has a

certain risk...”

Anthony's too young and smart. On top of that, he's extremely ambitious. He'll definitely meet his fall

one day. I'm afraid he can't keep his identity a secret until the end like me. Then again, Darknetz is the

only thing that can keep them safe in this world. It looks like I've got to consider it no matter how much I

don't want to.
