You're Out Daddy

Chapter 559

“Of course, I looked for you to negotiate a deal,” the Anonymous imposter said. The voice coming out from the voice changer made people feel very uncomfortable.

“A deal? What is it?” Kenneth asked.

Just then, the imposter threw something at Kenneth. However, it was too dark, so Anthony wasn't sure what it was. Also, he could hardly hear their conversation.

Anthony could only stare in their direction as hard as he could, not letting go of any details.

Suddenly, Kenneth said as he looked at the thing he was holding in his hand, “What if I don't agree?”

“Do you think you have a choice here?” the imposter asked.

“Is this a threat?” Kenneth asked. “No one has succeeded in threatening me up until now,” he said flatly.

“Is that so?” the fake Anonymous asked.

Kenneth said nothing more and threw the thing back to the imposter. “What you promised me last time didn't happen, so why should I agree to your deal?” With that, he turned to leave.

The whole time, Anthony was watching them. Suddenly, he saw the imposter aiming at Kenneth's back with a gun when he felt something was odd.

Without hesitation, Anthony dashed out. “Daddy, be careful!”

He rushed over, wanting to shield Kenneth.

Bang!

A loud gunshot echoed in the air. Just when Anthony thought they were going to die, Kenneth suddenly turned around and grabbed him. Together, they rolled over and landed safely elsewhere.

Anthony then looked at him and said, “Daddy, don't trust him. He's a fake.”

To that, Kenneth narrowed his eyes.

Enraged, Anthony glared at the imposter. “Who are you? Why are you pretending to be me?”

“You? Where did you come from, kid?” the fake Anonymous asked.

Looking into his eyes, Anthony asked bravely, “You don't even know me, and you dare to impersonate me?”

“I did?” The man asked, followed by a mocking smile.

With his eyes fixated on the imposter, Anthony said, “You know it yourself if you are impersonating me. What is your motive?”

“Stop your nonsense. Otherwise, I'll put a bullet straight through your head,” the man said.

“Let me ask you something. Since you are Anonymous, do you know who Shadow Seeker is?” Anthony asked.

The imposter froze. Albeit unable to see his expression, Anthony could feel he was thrown off guard under his mask.

“Another question. What does Darknetz's core network rely on?” he asked again.

The imposter said nothing in response.

“Answer me. Didn't you say you are Anonymous? You should know all these if you were him.” Anthony articulated each word clearly.

Seconds later, the man finally broke his silence. “These are secrets. Do you think I'll let you know just like that?” he said.

“Haha!” Anthony chuckled after listening to his response. “That's clever. All right then, since you can't disclose this information, let me ask you something simple. How many core members are there in Darknetz? I'm sure you can at least disclose this,” Anthony said.

Once again, the imposter looked at him in silence.

“Why are you keeping quiet?” Anthony asked. “Did you forget how to speak, or do you have no idea?”

The man remained mute.

“Fine, let me tell you. Darknetz has countless members. However, there are only five core members, with me, Anonymous, being one of them,” Anthony enunciated.

The fake Anonymous continued to stay quiet. Just then, Anthony looked at him. “How dare you pretend to be me to deceive my daddy? You must have a death wish!”

“Kid, you're insolent. Aren't you afraid I'll kill you this instant?” the man said threateningly while looking at Anthony.

“Go ahead,” the boy responded while staring at him fearlessly.

The imposter remained silent as he looked at Anthony.

The two stood still for a long while.

“Aren't you curious who I am?” the fake Anonymous asked.

“There's no need to rush. I'll know once you're dead,” Anthony responded.

“Kenneth, your son is fearless!” the imposter suddenly said with a smile.

Just then, Kenneth stood up and said with a low voice, “Indeed. I didn't know my son was this impressive.”

Sensing something was odd, Anthony turned around, “Daddy...”

Kenneth was looking at him with a conflicted look.

“Daddy, I'll explain to you later,” said Anthony.

“What's more to explain? The truth is revealed.” As he spoke, the fake Anonymous took off his mask. “That should be enough. Shouldn't it, Kenneth?”

Anthony turned to look at the imposter after the latter took off his mask. With furrowed brows, he exclaimed, “Mr. Dave?”

With lips curled into a smile, Dave looked at him. “Not bad. You're a brave one.”

Anthony was at a loss for words.

He turned to look at Kenneth again but saw that the man was not saying a word while wearing a complicated expression.

At that moment, it dawned on Anthony that this was a trap.
