You're Out Daddy

Chapter 388

Chapter 388

After mulling over it briefly, Kenneth said, “Stop looking for them.”

Dave was confused. “Why?”

“You won't be able to find them, and even if you do, they're not going to work for you,” Kenneth claimed.

Dave frowned. “How do you know that?”

“I just do.”

“You know them?” Dave smelled something fishy.

Kenneth lowered his gaze and instinctively hid the truth. “I don't.”

“Then, how do you know they won't work for me?”

“Didn't you say so yourself? You spent years searching, so do you think they're oblivious to the fact that you're looking for them? There's only one possibility, and that is they refuse to work for you,” Kenneth explained.

Dave's brows furrowed as Kenneth's explanation swayed his opinion. After pondering for a long while, he finally said, “I can't give up even if that's the case. Everyone else is looking for them too. If I give up now, the others will have a higher chance of finding them. Shadow Seeker and Anonymous better be smart and continue to stand firm as they are right now. Otherwise, any movement they make will attract the pursuit of every organization. Things won't be as peaceful as how it is now by that time.”

Kenneth's gaze darkened. “What about you?”

“What?”

“What are you going to do if someone else succeeds in recruiting Shadow Seeker?” Kenneth asked.

His question stunned Dave at first. Then, the muscles along Dave's jaw tensed, and a fierce glint flashed across his eyes. “I'll do what anyone else will.”

“And what is that?”

“Kill them.” Dave continued, “I won't give them the chance to go against me.”

Kenneth narrowed his eyes at Dave's declaration.

I'm starting to understand why Natasha hides her identity, but I also now know what it means that she was honest with me.


He dropped his gaze to the floor before swinging it to Dave. “The same goes for you then. You won't get that chance,” Kenneth said with a smirk.

Even though Dave hadn't met Kenneth over the years, he understood the latter's character and knew he wouldn't state something confidently without reason. “What do you mean?”

Kenneth thought about it for a while before he spoke. “What I'm saying is, don't even think about it. They're not someone you can even think about.”

Dave sensed that he was implying something. “J, are you sure you don't know who Shadow Seeker is?”

Kenneth is like a walking miracle to me. When we established DX Group together, he could make things I deemed impossible happen. After a while, I slowly grew accustomed to it. I'm not surprised if he says he knows Shadow Seeker since it's not entirely impossible in Kenneth's case.

However, Kenneth staunchly denied it. “I don't.”

“Then why can't I even think about them?” Dave asked.

“That's because Shadow Seeker won't favor any one organization.”

“How do you know that?”

Kenneth turned his gaze to Miguel. “Well, everyone in the hacker community knows about it. Ask him if you don't believe me.”

Miguel nodded. “He's right. Shadow Seeker did declare on the web they wouldn't favor any one organization and even made a vow. I don't think they'll go back on their words.” His eyes sparkled as he explained.

The creases on Dave's forehead deepened. “What good does it do if they made a vow? If taking an oath works, we wouldn't need the police.”

“You might not believe it, Dave, but the hacker community does. After all, Shadow Seeker's the god that every one of us admires,” Miguel justified.

Kenneth stayed silent at Miguel's remark, but his face softened, and a faint smile played on his lips. There was even some pride gleaming in his eyes.

He looked at Miguel. “From your tone, I guess you admire them too?”

“Of course!” Miguel laughed. “They're my idols.”

“Who do you admire more? Shadow Seeker or Anonymous?” Kenneth questioned.

“Um...” Miguel was caught off guard by his question. “How do I say this? They're both top hackers, so I admire them both.”

“What if you have to choose one?” Kenneth was persistent.

“Then...”

Kenneth stared at him intently, adamant about getting a solid answer.

How can Anonymous compare to Natasha? Anonymous is nothing.

Miguel frowned, clearly troubled over making a decision.

Dave couldn't help but say, “Why are you troubled over something like this? It's not like something will happen after you make a decision.”

Kenneth objected, “What if something does happen?”

“Like what?”

“What if... one of them decides to take him as their apprentice?” Kenneth suggested.

Miguel's eyes brightened. “R-Really?”

Dave eyed Kenneth suspiciously.

Dave eyed Kenneth suspiciously.

“I'm just saying,” Kenneth insisted.
