Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 350

The two pairs of eyes that were staring at Anthony received a scowl from him in response. “Why are the two of you looking at me like that?”

“Is it really okay to do Daddy dirty like that, Tony?” Benjamin could not refrain from saying that in a subdued voice.

“I...”

He was about to respond when Thalia interceded. “You can't exactly put it that way. I feel that you'll go on to achieve great things in the future, Anthony. If you even dare to stand up to your own father, what else could you not accomplish? I'm positive that Darknetz would surely prosper with you at the helm!” With that, Thalia patted him proudly on his shoulder.

The money Kenneth stood to make was as good as theirs, but Anthony is creating an opportunity for Darknetz itself by taking it out for redistribution!

The very thought of that left Thalia profoundly impressed once again.

Such selflessness! When I get back in, I must have a proper chat with Kyle about this!

Anthony took in a deep breath as he regarded them. “First of all, I've already been targeting those people and the stuff previously. The only difference is that I had no idea why Daddy suddenly tried to get involved. In that respect, I'm not actually stealing from him. Secondly, Daddy doesn't even care about this. He is merely just doing someone else a favor. If that's the case, then why can’t we make a move on it ourselves?” Anthony asked.

Benjamin and Thalia were stumped by his words.

“I'm not grabbing it for the sake of it as this has been part of my plan all along. While it's true that I could have looked away and given it up but what comes after? Should Darknetz’s development ever reach a point where it develops a conflict of interest with Daddy someday, are we to keep backing off every single time?”

Thalia was stunned by Anthony's poise and thought that what he said made sense. “Good reasoning. I second it!”

At that moment, Anthony turned to Benjamin. “If Daddy were to uncover the truth behind what happened today somewhere in the future, I believe that he would also approve of this being considered fair competition.”

“But... is this fair, really?" Benjamin countered.

“What winning strategy isn't? It is fair game, so long as it is through our own efforts that we have bested him!” replied Anthony.

“Such a murky issue being so succinctly rationalized. I'm sold!” Regarding him in agreement, Thalia then continued, “What else could I say about it? Let's do this!”

Anthony maintained his stillness as he looked toward Benjamin with a solemn expression. “We'll go with whatever you decide, Benjamin. The deal is off if you say we should

retreat.

Surprisingly, Benjamin replied, “Retreat? I feel that we absolutely have to succeed, for if we lost, it would be too embarrassing in the event of Daddy finding out in the future.”

Anthony's lips curled into a grin. “That goes without saying!”

Thalia was quietly astounded.

She had thought that Benjamin might have had a different take on it, and was not expecting that he could be so easily convinced.

While she observed the duo work out their plan and approach, it occurred to Thalia that it might be better for one not to have children who were too smart for their own good, lest they ended up going against their own father.

By the time Thalia approached, the pair had already concluded their strategizing.

“How did it go? Have you all decided how to execute this?” Thalia went straight to the point. I'd be able to skimp on the brainwork completely with them around!

To which Anthony replied, “We'll hang back until all the goods have been loaded up. Daddy and that lot would definitely part ways at that point. Then, you'll take over,” Anthony regarded Thalia smilingly.

In response, Thalia's eyes narrowed.

Then, Anthony spoke into the microphone. “Have you worked out their route yet, Denise?”

Inside the car, Denise's fingers were flying across the keyboard. Seconds later, she replied, “Yeah. I got it.”

“Send me the address.” “Done.”

Activating his watch to make a detailed study of the route, Anthony's brows subsequently creased up.

“What's the matter?”

“This route won't be easy for us to work with, so we'll have to strike as early as possible,” Anthony said.

“As early as possible?” Thalia surveyed her surroundings. “That means that we can only make our move within the vicinity of the dock. The problem is that Kenneth is still down here...”

Mulling over it briefly, Anthony then turned to look at Benjamin with his eyes narrowed to a slit. “Benjamin...” Benjamin immediately understood what was on his brother’s mind and smiled sheepishly. “Surely you can't be that callous, right?”

“You know that I don't want to either, but we don't have a choice here!”

“But it's going to be really awkward!”

“You'll get used to it eventually, so learn to get along!” Anthony cast a placating look his way.
