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

Just as Anthony arrived at the door of Dave's study, the door swung open from the inside at that moment.

Kenneth was about to step out, and the two of them unexpectedly ran into each other.

"Daddy." Anthony looked at him.

Kenneth looked at him. "How come you're here?"

At that moment, Anthony glanced inside and saw Dave was also there. He spoke up. "Daddy, I have something to tell you and Mr. Dave!"

At that moment, Kenneth turned around, locking eyes with Dave for an instant.

Even without saying it, both of them could guess what Anthony was probably going to say.

"Come in!" Kenneth moved aside a bit, allowing Anthony to enter.

Anthony walked in and immediately closed the door behind him.

A smile crept up the corner of Dave's mouth as he took in Anthony's demeanor.

"It seems like you have something important to tell us!" Dave spoke up.

At that moment, Anthony didn't see himself as a child. He walked over and sat down in front of Dave with an expression that clearly indicated a serious discussion was about to take place. Seeing him like this, Kenneth didn't say a word. He walked over, crossed his legs, and elegantly gazed at him.

At that moment, Anthony looked at them, took a deep breath, and then spoke. "Daddy, Mr. Dave, I know you're planning to confront Vermillion Base head-on. I won't beat around the bush. I want to be involved!"

After he finished talking, Kenneth didn't respond. He simply stared at his son with his dark gaze, saying nothing.

Even if he didn't speak, it seemed like Anthony knew what he was going to say. Looking at his father, he said, "Daddy, the more people, the more strength. I promise I'll behave and won't cause trouble!" However, Kenneth didn't say much. Instead, he looked at his son and directly asked, "How do you want to participate?"

Seeing hope, Anthony immediately spoke up. "I know I'm young and can't contribute much in terms of strength, but Daddy, we're not just relying on brute force these days. The war on the internet is also a war!' Anthony said, emphasizing each word.

"Cut to the chase and tell us your plan!" Dave looked at him.

Anthony looked at them. "Vermillion Base was the first to employ hackers. Even though they've declined now, they still have a group of expert hackers. I don't know what your plan is, but I can lead a team to attack their network as a separate operation. When they're in chaos, you can seize the opportunity to act!" Anthony said, emphasizing each word.

After his words fell silent, Dave and Kenneth didn't speak. The two of them locked eyes, their expressions inscrutable, leaving one to wonder what they were really thinking.

Anthony furrowed his brows, seemingly waiting for them to say something. However, the two of them just looked at each other, not saying a word.

"Daddy, Mr. Dave, this is just my immature thought. If you have anything to say, feel free to speak up!" Anthony said.

Dave smiled. "No, your idea is good. But Anthony, can you handle all the hackers from Vermillion Base on your own?"

"I can give it a try!" Anthony suggested.

"You must understand, in this attempt, we can only succeed. Failure is not an option!" Dave said to him.

Anthony pondered for a moment, then looked at him. "Mr. Dave, I know you have a vast dark web system. If you trust me, let me take command. I'm certain I can take our enemies down!" Upon hearing that, Dave furrowed his brows. "How did you know we have a dark web system?"

At that moment, Anthony's gaze turned toward Kenneth.

Seeing that, Dave also looked at Kenneth. "Did you tell him that?"

Kenneth was slightly taken aback, then calmly said, "I don't remember. Maybe I mentioned it casually?"

"Kenneth, he is your son, but don't forget, he's also a part of Darknetz!" Dave reminded him, emphasizing each word. Then he added, "Aren't you afraid he'll leak information to Darknetz?" Upon hearing that, Kenneth looked at Dave. "Enough about him. Even I only know that you have a dark web system. What else would I know?"

Dave was taken aback, then looked at him. "Isn't it just because you didn't want to know? If you really wanted to, could I have kept it from you?" "If I know, do you think I would tell him?" Kenneth retorted.

At the mention of that, Dave paused for a moment, and then a smile spread across his face. "Indeed, you do have this level of awareness!"

Him? Why does it sound like Daddy is talking about a stranger?

Seeing them engrossed in their conversation, Anthony spoke up. "Daddy, I understand that you have your own professional ethics, but I am your son!"

"In that case, what's the IP of Darknetz's system, son?" Kenneth asked directly.

"Daddy, we're straying from the topic!" Anthony said in a low voice.

With a light chuckle, Kenneth looked at Anthony's serious expression and said dismissively, "Do you really think I care? Whether I have this IP or not, I won't even take Darknetz seriously." Anthony was rendered speechless and could only stare at his father and smile.

At that point, he decided not to engage in that verbal dispute any longer. He steered the conversation back on track. "Daddy, let's get back to discussing our plan to deal with Vermillion Base!" Steering the conversation back, Kenneth spoke up directly. "This question should be directed to Mr. Dave. After all, I'm no longer part of DX and don't have the authority to make that decision!" At that point, Anthony's gaze immediately turned to Dave.

"Well..." Dave seemed somewhat troubled.

"Mr. Dave, I promise I will absolutely not pry into anyone's privacy!"

"I'm not worried about that. What concerns me is if they find out who you are. That might be hard to explain!" Dave said.

After some thought, Anthony said, "Well, I don't necessarily have to reveal whose side I'm on, Mr. Dave. These aren't the real issues. The biggest question is how we're going to take down Boss in one fell swoop. We absolutely must capture him alive!"

It was clear that Anthony was determined to succeed in this operation.

Dave glanced at Kenneth. "I have no issues with the matter related to the dark web, but whether or not to involve him, that's a decision you'll have to make!" He left the final question to Kenneth.

Hearing that, Anthony shifted his gaze to meet Kenneth's.

Kenneth was somewhat hesitant, his gaze fixed on Anthony.

Looking into his son's reddened eyes, he guessed something.

Anthony's presence, thoughts, and plans indeed made it impossible for him to ignore.

He might be a child, but he was indeed a thoughtful and strategic one.

Before that, Kenneth indeed had no intention of involving Anthony, but if it were from the scene, that wouldn't be such a bad idea.

They indeed needed something like that to support them. That plan should have been implemented a long time ago, with Natasha in charge of the hacking. However, two days before the plan was to be carried out, Natasha suddenly suffered frequent bouts of illness, which delayed everything until now.

Kenneth's eyes suddenly darkened as he thought about that.

He had witnessed Anthony's capabilities before. If anyone could accomplish it, apart from Natasha, it could only be Anthony.

With that in mind, Kenneth looked at his son.
