Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 436

“Are you saying... that this is your plan?” Benjamin ventured, goggling at Anthony.

“Well, duh. Do you think I'm so foolish as to employ such a method to take my revenge against him?” Anthony retorted.

Nonetheless, Benjamin frowned at him. “No, I don't quite understand your plan.”

Anthony motioned for him to take a seat. “Sit down, and we'll talk.”

Thus, they both walked over to the dining table and sat down.

Just when Anthony was about to speak, the housekeeper approached with breakfast. His brows creased as he eyed the food in front of him. He asked bluntly, “Is there steak?”

Upon hearing that, the housekeeper gawped at him. She then inclined her head in affirmation. “Yes.”

“I'd like to have steak, please. Thank you!” Anthony stated.

The housekeeper nodded. “Sure! Give me a few minutes!”

Anthony bobbed his head.

Seeing as the housekeeper was going to leave, Benjamin chimed in, “I'd like to have steak, too! Medium-cooked, please. Thank you!”

The housekeeper's gaze roamed over them. Thereafter, she dipped her head and left.

At once, Anthony swung his gaze at Benjamin.

Without realizing it, they had both been speaking in Capstonese.

They didn't know a single word when they first came over, but by then, they could have basic conversations in the language.

Anthony regarded him with a smirk on his lips “When did you learn it?”

“Huh?” Benjamin grunted, feigning ignorance.

“Stop faking it!” Anthony huffed.

Arching an eyebrow, Benjamin decided to admit to it. “It's no big deal. I just picked it up during the few days you were wearing earphones for no reason.”

Anthony was struck dumb.

It looks like he knows everything though he said nothing.

At that thought, the corners of his lips turned up. “Well, well, well... You're increasingly shrewd now!”

“Right back at you!”

Even then, the two brothers didn't forget to bicker with each other.

Only when the housekeeper brought two plates of steak over did they revert to normal.

“All right, let's put that aside first. Let's talk business. What exactly is your plan?” Benjamin inquired, pinning his eyes on Anthony.

Anthony pondered for some time before answering, “I'd been thinking about this since I overheard the conversation between Daddy and Mr. Dave yesterday... But after turning it over in my mind, this was the only method available to me.”

While saying that, he trained his eyes on Benjamin. “That person wants Daddy's life, and Daddy will definitely go alone in order to save Nat. But it doesn't matter what Daddy's plan is for he'll still end up taking damage even if he wins by a slight edge. And even then, he might not be able to save her.”

“That's true.” Benjamin sighed.

“I brooded over it yesterday, but I couldn't involve Darknetz in this either. You know the grudge between Daddy and Darknetz. Hence, this was the only method I could use,” Anthony explained, holding his gaze.

In a trice, understanding dawned upon Benjamin. “So, you're not doing this for revenge. Instead, it's to muddy the waters to make the person worried and fearful. Then, Daddy will have a greater chance of saving Nat.”

Anthony nodded at that. “Even if we can't kill that person, it's still an opportunity if we can strike some fear into him and inflict damage on him!”

“This is undeniably a great method, but did you ever consider that you'd be placing yourself at risk by doing so? Yes, I know they might not necessarily be able to find you, but what if they succeed in doing so? After all, nothing can remain a secret forever in this world. By that time, you'd be the one in danger.”

“So what if they were to discover my identity? It doesn't matter as long as it can save Nat, and she and Daddy are both fine. Besides, they'd need time to look for me. Furthermore, I'd have gone for training at Darknetz. Would they still be able to find me?” Anthony defended.

Benjamin narrowed his eyes a fraction. On second thought, that's true.

“Therefore, you've already taken everything into consideration?”

“But of course! Do you really think I'd lost my senses?” Anthony retorted.

Hearing that, Benjamin bobbed his head. “But still, you've got to be more careful when you go out after having posted that bounty list yesterday. Even Thalia phoned about this matter, so you should be aware of its gravity!”

Needless to say, Anthony was well aware of that. “Kyle phoned me as well yesterday.”
