Benjamin played in the weapons storage area for a long time before leaving unwillingly.
As he was making his way out, he touched the weapons and looked around. He even took many pictures and intended to take a good look at them when he returned home.
On the way home, the car drove onto a road. When Dave looked at the words displayed in black against a red background, he frowned.
“Kenneth,” Dave said and motioned for him to look outside.
Kenneth raised his head and narrowed his eyes when he saw the words on the billboard.
His intuition told him that the matter had something to do with either Anthony or Natasha.
Did something happen today?
Just as Kenneth was thinking about it, Benjamin looked outside. He froze when he saw the words on the screen.
Uh... Isn't this a little too bold?
Kenneth did not miss the expression on Benjamin's face. He felt that Benjamin's behavior was too peculiar that day. Now, he finally understood something.
As he stared at him, he asked, “Benjamin, who do you think did this?”
Benjamin froze before looking at Kenneth. He hesitated and said, “Uh, how would I know?”
Kenneth remained silent and smiled mysteriously.
At that moment, Dave's phone rang. He stared at the number displayed on the screen and picked up the call.
“Yes?”
Thereafter, Dave looked at Benjamin. It was as if he had found out something. However, he did not speak and only waited till the end to say, “Okay, I got it.”
He then hung up the phone and looked away.
“What do you think happened, Kenneth?” Dave asked as he turned around.
Kenneth looked at him lazily. He did not speak, but his glance conveyed many things.
“Hurry back,” Dave instructed the driver.
“Yes,” the driver responded.
The car sped up, and a peculiar silence descended in the car.
Benjamin looked at him and hesitated before asking, “Mr. Dave, what happened?”
Dave looked at him and smirked mysteriously. “What do you think?”
“How would I know? If I knew, I wouldn't have asked you,” Benjamin replied.
Dave looked at him and smiled wholeheartedly. “When you return, you'll know.”
Benjamin fell silent.
I might as well not ask!
The curiosity in his heart increased.
However, he felt a little guilty and did not dare to continue probing.
Hence, he smiled innocently and stopped talking.
Instead, he looked outside the window. On every screen and billboard they passed, there were the words, Boss is a son of a b*tch, displayed on them.
It had to be either Anthony or Natasha who did it.
Benjamin picked up his phone and searched the news.
As expected, the news reported that an unknown hacker had hacked into the country's systems. Officials were trying their best to salvage the situation.
Thereafter, Benjamin quickly opened his chat with his two other siblings. “What's going on? We're on our way back.”
The chatroom was silent.
Benjamin felt increasingly curious and confused.
When he noticed that no one replied to him, he kept his phone.
Denise only sent him a message when the car arrived at the house. She texted: It's difficult to explain. I'll tell you when you get back home.
The car came to a stop.
Dave said, “I'll go to the hidden room first.”
Kenneth nodded. “I'll be there later.”
Benjamin stared at Dave's retreating figure and said, “Daddy, I'll go and find Nat now.”
