You're Out Daddy

Chapter 772 Protect The People I Love

Thalia didn't bother listening to his rambling. The only information she received from his reaction was that he had a secret but wouldn't tell her!

Frowning, Thalia fixed her gaze on him and said, “Anthony, are you not a man of your word?”

“I—”

“That's not what you said to me previously. You've changed!”

“I didn't—”

“Benjamin and Denise know about your secret, right? Yet you refuse to tell me!” Thalia appeared to be hurt by his refusal to tell her the truth. She then nodded in resignation and said disappointedly, “Okay, I understand. You never really considered me as a friend...”

Anthony held his forehead in frustration and finally gave in. “Fine, I'll tell you.”

Thalia immediately regained her solemn demeanor. “You should've told me in the first place.”

Anthony looked at her in exasperation. “Your acting skills are so good that I think you should become an actor like Denise.”

Thalia didn't think he was being sarcastic at all and replied seriously, “Darknetz has special acting classes, so you guys will have to learn it, too. Don't worry, for you'll soon be better at acting than me!”

Anthony was speechless.

“Okay, cut the crap. Tell me everything,” Thalia urged.

Anthony glanced at Thalia. He actually intended to consult her about this matter and just hadn't found a chance to talk to her yet. He was about to speak when Thalia suddenly thought of something. “Wait a minute.”

Anthony's words were stuck halfway in his throat as he stared at her.

“If it's really private, forget it. I'm not someone who likes to pry into other people's privacy,” Thalia said.

“Really?”

Thalia nodded. “Of course.”

“Then we're done!” Anthony shrugged with his hands spread out.

Thalia was dumbfounded.

“That's it!” Anthony said.

Thalia took a deep breath. “Anthony Watson, do you take me as a fool?”

Seeing that she was about to explode with rage, Anthony couldn't help laughing out loud. “You said you wouldn't listen if it's a private matter!”

“Benjamin knows, so that means I can know too. I'm just being courteous yet you really think I mean it!” Thalia retorted.

“Women always say one thing and do another...”

“Do you have a problem with that?”

“No, I don't!” Anthony immediately admitted defeat.

Thalia kept her eyes trained on him, still feeling something was off. “You've been surrendering too easily lately. What's the deal? Have you become enlightened enough to start being all respectful and caring toward others?”

Anthony raised an eyebrow. “I'm just being considerate because you're not in good health.”

“Oh, I see. Wow, you have sympathy for others now?”

“It's not about having sympathy. I just don't want to argue with the sick and the weak,” Anthony replied.

Thalia was rendered speechless by his quick-witted remarks.

His tongue is still as sharp as ever.

“But if you're not used to my current demeanor, I can still act like I did before,” Anthony offered.

Thalia flashed him a halfhearted smile and urged him to get to the point. “Hurry up and tell me about that secret of yours!”

Anthony took a moment to gather his thoughts and spoke while looking at her. “I have an idea.”

“What idea?” Thalia asked casually as she grabbed some snacks from the table, popping one into her mouth.

Anthony pursed his lips. “I've revealed part of it to you before this.”

“What is it? Just tell me!” Thalia stared at him.

“I'm thinking of forming a team.”

Thalia was momentarily stunned and turned to look at him.

“I mentioned it briefly when we were in the uninhabited zone. I've been thinking about it for a long time. I want a team that I can fully control and that only answers to me,” Anthony explained his idea.

Listening to his thoughts, Thalia narrowed her eyes. “So... are you saying you want to leave Darknetz?”

“No, I don't have any intention of leaving Darknetz. I just want a team that completely works for me outside of Darknetz. That way, I can handle any personal grudges myself,” Anthony explained.

Thalia instantly understood his point.

The look in her eyes darkened as she looked at Anthony. “Anthony, actually, you can already mobilize the forces in Darknetz. You know full well that you can do so if you need to. It's just a bit more difficult to handle the current situation due to the relationship between Kenneth and Darknetz.”

“I know, and I understand,” Anthony replied. “I don't know how things will turn out between Daddy and Darknetz, but what if this problem is never resolved? The main reason I joined Darknetz is to protect the people I care about, so if this issue limits what I can do, what's the point of me staying in Darknetz?”

Thalia frowned. “Anthony, you can't say that. Are you not happy being in Darknetz? I know you're anxious about Natasha's matter, but don't deny the significance of your presence in Darknetz. I can tell that you're happy being a part of Darknetz and you have big ambitions to achieve. Darknetz can help you realize your goals. Otherwise, you wouldn't have joined in the first place, right?”

Anthony listened and frowned slightly.
