Anthony swept his gaze at his two siblings at the back and frowned.
“I think they can explain it to you better,” Anthony answered.
Thalia looked back at the two with her brows furrowed.
Seeing that they were summoned, Benjamin and Denise went forward and greeted Thalia. Denise smiled and waved at her. “Hello. Nice to meet you. You look really pretty,” the girl complimented.
Her sweet remarks instantly put Thalia in a better mood.
“Nice to meet you,” Benjamin weighed in. “I've heard a lot of good things about you.
It's great to finally see you in person.”
Thalia looked at both of them warily. How do they know me? Are things really the way I suspect them to be?
She knew that there were two people called Benjamin and Denise in Darknetz, but they seldom showed themselves unless there were operations that required a team effort. Even though Thalia had already met Anthony, it never once occurred to her that the three were related.
Thalia was dumbfounded when the truth finally dawned upon her.
She looked back at Anthony, who said, “I'll answer any questions you have.”
Since there was nothing else to hide, Anthony figured he should just open up to Thalia.
The woman pursed her lips. She never once imagined she would feel so helpless when dealing with children, but she still needed answers to her questions, so she decided to just raise any questions she had, yet before she could even utter a word, Benjamin had already spoken.
“Yes, it's us,” he said with a nod as if he already knew her question.
“So you guys are...” “Yeah. It's us,” Benjamin replied.
Thalia did not know what else to say. Her beautiful eyes blinked and blinked as if she was unable to come to terms with reality.
What the f*ck? Are they all from the same family ? Just what are they ? This is insane!
There must be something special about their genes. Wait. Don't tell me they're from another planet. I'm not as familiar with the other two as with Anthony, but as far as I know, if Anthony keeps this up, he will definitely become the best in the world. He alone is enough of a threat. Now there are two more.
It suddenly occurred to Thalia that Darknetz was indeed a place full of danger. In fact, she started doubting if the entire internet was safe.
I can't afford to offend any of them or I'll be good as dead. Now I really don't know if I should feel happy for Kyle or not. These three kids will really dominate the whole Darknetz in the future.
After a few minutes, Thalia finally accepted the truth. She, Anthony, Benjamin, and Denise squatted down beside the road, wearing different expressions.
When Thalia had finally come to terms with what she learned, she turned and looked at Benjamin and Denise. “Why is it that both of you rarely appear in the chat room?”
“Well, the first reason is there is not enough time. Second, I think Anthony can do everything on his own. Denise and I aren’t actually interested in this anyway,” Benjamin replied.
Denise agreed, “Yeah. I'm not really interested in it either. It's too boring for me. Besides, none of us will be as good as Tony, so we'll just be in the background.”
Thalia genuinely thought they were humble-bragging.
“You guys are not interested in this, but both of you still know how to do it,” Thalia commented.
“Um, we have a photographic memory,” Benjamin answered with his brows raised.
“Yea. It's as if those things are imprinted in my brain with just one look,” Denise chimed in, looking as if she was bothered by this talent she had.
At that moment, Thalia was fully convinced that those children were indeed trying to show off, but she was still blown away by how smart those children were.
She went closer and pulled their hair so she could touch their heads.
“What do you think you're doing?” Anthony asked without pushing her away.
“I'm trying to see if you guys are humans or aliens. Maybe someone installed some kind of chips in you guys' heads.”
