Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 324

Kyle's mind continued to whirl. Or did something happen while Anthony went offline?

Kyle hastily typed: What do you mean?

Anthony: Exactly what you read.

Kyle: Were you so thoroughly defeated by Shadow Seeker for you to decide that, or did you bang up your head or something?

Anthony: You're the one with the banged-up head!

Kyle: Then what's going on withyou?

Anthony explained: Iwasn't utterly defeated. I have always been defeated.

Kyle was speechless. He never expected someone as arrogant as Anthony to utter these words.

Suddenly, he remembered Anthony and Shadow Seeker had disappeared at almost the same time during the competition. Wait a minute. What if something really happened during that time?

An outrageous thought crossed his mind, and Kyle asked: Did you rendezvous with Shadow Seeker?

Anthony was shocked by Kyle's question, and he replied: Hey, watch your language!

Kyle: Is that not the case? Both of you disappeared at the same time during the competition. You didn't reply to me when I contacted you, nor did Shadow Seeker. I can only arrive at one conclusion—both of you rendezvoused!

His conclusion struck Anthony dumb.

It's true we met, but it's hardly appropriate to describe our meeting as a rendezvous.

Still, Anthony knew he could not tell Kyle the full story.

Meanwhile, his prolonged silence prompted Kyle to text: So? Did I guess right?Don't worry! I'm very open-minded! I wouldn't judge you if you did!

Anthony was at a loss for words.

Meanwhile, Kyle carried on: Tell me what Shadow Seeker looks like! To this day, no one knows her appearance! Or his! I can't believe you were lucky enough to meet the legend in person!

Anthony frowned as he read Kyle's message, and he replied: Well, I only have my exceptional charisma to blame for that!

Kyle: Wait, so you really met Shadow

Seeker in person'.

Anthony had no idea how to explain the situation and gave up.

Knowing Shadow Seeker's true identity hardly changed his stance. Anthony would never give away any information about his mother, after all!

Normally, Kyle would have peppered Anthony with hundreds of texts, begging the latter to share a sliver of information about Shadow Seeker. Currently, however, Kyle was preoccupied with other thoughts.

If Anthony is acquainted with Shadow

Seeker, we could even use their relationship to convince Shadow Seeker to join our ranks. That would make things a lot simpler!

Kyle's excitement grew as he recalled how far they had come. From failing to track Shadow Seeker down to making contact and Anthony meeting the hacker in person, the signs all seemed to indicate to Kyle that Shadow Seeker's and Darknetz's fates were intertwined. It was only a matter of time before Shadow Seeker joined their organization.

Suddenly, Kyle felt as though lady luck was smiling upon him. If Shadow Seeker joins Darknetz, our growth can literally be measured in seconds!

With that thought in mind, Kyle asked: What is Shadow Seeker like as a person?

Anthony: Hmm, how should I put it? One-of-a-kind, maybe!

Kyle: Really? How?

Anthony: Shadow Seeker's aura, appearance, figure, temper, and abilities are all one-of-a-kind!

His dreamy description hardly helped Kyle to imagine the legendary hacker's appearance.

Kyle: Do you have more concrete descriptions? Like facial features? Height?

Anthony: I can't share that.

He quickly sent another text: You also know there are far too many people trying to cause Shadow Seeker trouble.

Kyle: What? You don't trust me?Anthony. Uh-huh!

Kyle was flabbergasted.

The slightest crack appeared in their friendship.

Kyle argued: You're protecting Shadow Seeker already? After one meeting? Don't you trust me anymore?

Anthony: Yup!
