You're Out Daddy

They ate away to fill their tummy a little before continuing with their previous discussion.

Between bites, Anthony turned his attention to Thalia and asked, “Earlier, you said you have a plan to capture the culprit. What is that plan?”

Thalia paused for a moment before she parted her lips. “I’m not sure if it’ll work, but we can try this.”

Anthony had his eyes on Thalia.

Thalia inched closer to him and pointed out, “That guy wants your mommy dead, so what do you think he will do if he realizes that she survived?”

Anthony narrowed his eyes a little. “Ah, I get what you’re saying now.”

“We’ll set a trap because it is likely we don’t need to go to him at all. He might come to us,” said Thalia as she arched her brows once.

Anthony smiled. “I take back what I said earlier about you.”

“Huh?”

“You know? When I said you are stupid.”

Thalia was momentarily speechless, but she eventually found her voice. “Hey, my reaction is normal, okay? Who would’ve thought that the hacker who has everyone on edge is just a kid? No one could’ve anticipated that!”

Anthony nodded in agreement after he heard what Thalia said. He replied, “Hmm, thank you for the compliment.”

Thalia couldn’t speak for a moment there.

Anthony wasn’t humble at all, and that prompted her to scan him a little. “How could a tiny baby like you not know humility at all?”

“Hasn’t my skill earned me the right to act this way?” challenged Anthony in between bites.

Thalia considered the situation. I guess he is right about that. He is just a kid, but he’s so skilled and has already accomplished so much. Given those circumstances, it’s a miracle that a child like him isn’t infuriatingly arrogant. He must have an exceptional mother who teaches him manners and to lie low.

Thalia stared as she ate. “A kid like you should get a better education and training.”

“Huh? What are you talking about?”

“Kyle told me that there is a training facility where talented kids from all around the world gather. They are given the best education, taught the most advanced skills, and trained to be as ruthless as possible. It’s a comprehensive training facility meant to train kids to be experts in every field. The entrance exam is brutal, but I’m certain that you can get in.”

Anthony grinned when he heard that. “I’ll pass.”

“Seriously? You’re not interested? You realize that many would die for an opportunity to go there, right?” said Thalia.
