You're Out Daddy

Chapter 817

Chapter 817 Stay Out Of It

Seeing no refusal from Anthony and even agreeing to it, the others cast him confused gazes.

Anthony kept his expression stoic, looking calm and confident.

However, from their understanding of Anthony, they were sure he would never give in without a fight.

Dropping their gaze, none of them said a word.

At that time, Kyle was still talking about Vermillion Base with Anthony. After asking some basic questions, Kyle put forward a few more proposals.

More than an hour had passed between their discussion.

Kyle looked at Anthony and said, “Let's go with that for now, and we'll talk again once I get there. All in all, you don't have to worry too much. I won't let anything happen to your mom, I swear.”

Anthony merely nodded.

Suddenly, the ringing of Kyle's phone interrupted their conversation.

Kyle picked up his phone, glanced at the number flashing across the screen, and immediately picked up the call.

“Hello?” After a short pause, he said, “Got it. I'll head over once I'm done talking with Anthony.”

Kyle arched his brow and turned to Anthony. “How does Anthony look like?” Kyle laughed and answered, “You'll know once you meet him.”

After another short silence, he said, “All right. I'll talk to you later.” The call ended at the heel of those words.

Anthony looked at him. “Are you leaving?”

Kyle nodded. “Yeah, Holden is rushing me.”

Anthony nodded. “All right, then. I won't keep you.”

Kyle narrowed his eyes at him. “Now you know how important you are to me? Even though it was only an hour, I still came over and met you first.”

Anthony raised his brow. “Are you sure it wasn't to satisfy your own curiosity?”

“Anthony, do you know how boring it is to talk with you?”

“Is it because the others don't expose you, but I do?” Anthony asked.


Kyle stared at him and conceded, “This is my first time meeting you, so I'm not going to be petty. We have more time to talk in the future.”

“If I'm not wrong, I think I heard the same words out of your mouth many times already,” Anthony exposed.

Kyle inhaled deeply, stamping down his rising irritation. “All right, I'm leaving. Catch you later.”

Anthony smiled and rose to his feet to send Kyle off.

It was dark and the breeze was blowing outside.

The helicopter's rotors spun slowly and were ready for departure.

Despite the short meeting, Anthony felt a sense of longing for Kyle, as though he had a brief reunion with an old friend.

Anthony pressed his lips into a line and uttered, “Safe trip.”

Kyle looked over his shoulder at him. “These are the nicest words I've heard from you throughout our meeting.”

Anthony burst out laughing.

Kyle swung his gaze to Denise and Benjamin beside Anthony.

He walked over to them and offered, “Time was a bit tight today, so we didn't get a chance to chat. Let's have a nice, long one when I head to your place later.”

Denise's lips curved into a small smile. “Sure.”

Benjamin nodded. “Yeah.”

“Till next time,” Kyle said.

Following behind him, Thalia noticed he was already bidding goodbye, so she went up to him. “Boss, do you need me to head over to Holden's side?”

Kyle looked over his shoulder and replied, “If you join Holden, what about the three of them?”

“They have others with them, right?” Thalia questioned.

Even though she knew Kyle wouldn't let her go, she still wanted to try her luck.

“I don't feel at ease by handing them over to someone else.” Seeing she opened her mouth to refute, he immediately cut her off. “They are Darknetz's future. Your mission here is very important. You must take them back to Darknetz safely.”

“But Boss—”

“Enough. I know what you want to say, but both Holden's side and here are equally important. Since I'll be there, I'll leave everything here to you,” Kyle ordered.

Seeing the finality on his face, Thalia complied, “Call me if anything happens.”

Kyle nodded.

With a gush of breeze, his windbreaker fluttered.

He looked down at the time displayed on his watch. “All right, it's getting late. I'm leaving.”

The others nodded.

Kyle cast one last glance and a knowing smile at Anthony before walking toward the helicopter.

Once he strapped into his seat, the helicopter's door slid close, and rotors spun at full speed, taking off slowly.

Sitting by the window, he waved at them one last time.

Anthony and the others stood on the ground and stared as Kyle's helicopter disappeared from view. A moment of silence later, Thalia asked, “What? You don't want him to leave?”

Anthony retracted his gaze from the dark sky and turned it to her. “Nothing of the sort. We'll meet sooner or later anyway.”

“Then what were you looking at?” Thalia questioned.

Anthony lowered his eyes. “I was just thinking what a shame it'll be if I'm no longer a friend of Kyle's one day.”
