Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 655

“Who is it?”

“Who is it?”

From behind, Denise and Miguel asked in unison. Following that, they exchanged glances and quickly looked away disdainfully.

“It's that fellow who hacked us the other time!” Anthony's voice sounded.

Denise seemed to have recalled something. “The one who got rooted out by Nat in a second?”

“That's right.” Anthony nodded. He was visibly pleased with the description she gave.

Denise snickered. “What an interesting fellow. Isn't it embarrassing enough the other time? Why is he delivering himself to us again? There's no end to his shenanigans, huh?”

Anthony stared at the computer screen as he fell into deep thought. Benjamin peeked at the screen and analyzed, “After Nat weeded that fellow out previously, she already got the system's loopholes fixed, leaving him no way of getting in. Finding an opportunity to hack Miguel's phone was probably his only option left so that you'll actively seek him out.” His gaze landed on Anthony as he finished speaking.

At that, Miguel shifted his gaze to Anthony as well.

Is that so?

Anthony, nonetheless, had his eyes fixed on the computer screen. At that precise moment, the other party sent over a message that read: You've finally shown yourself.

“You're absolutely right,” Anthony said to Benjamin while nodding.

Benjamin curled the corners of his lips up.

Behind him, Miguel was at a loss for words. So, what on earth was I taken for? Cannon fodder? Or a foot pedal?

“But why did he do that? What motive does he have to look for you?” Miguel wondered aloud.

“He's probably unwilling to accept the reality,” Denise reasoned.

As if trying to seek verification, Miguel turned to look at Benjamin, to which the latter nodded and said, “Yeah, that's possible.”

At that very moment, Anthony got connected with the other party.

Anthony straightforwardly wrote: Tell me, what is it again this time?

That person cut to the chase and replied: Who is that person from the other time?

In their profession, it was possible to tell apart one from another based on their skills even without meeting face-to-face. Everyone had different areas of expertise and distinct ways of maneuver. That was why Anthony had already figured something out when the other party popped the question.

Nevertheless, as Natasha's identity concerned her safety, there was no way Anthony would expose her.

Anthony: What do you mean by the person from the other time? What are you talking about?

The other party: Don't tell me it was you previously.

Anthony: Well, what do you expect?

The other party: That person's skills are exceptional. Even though it was less than a minute, I could tell there was a difference. That's the first time I came across someone who can do great at both offense and defense.

His explanation made Anthony and the rest turn solemn.

The fact that he could discern it was another person's skills within a minute was enough to prove that he was not an ordinary person.

Staring at the computer screen, Anthony pondered briefly and replied: Thank you for your compliments. I'll gratefully accept it!

The other party: Your skills are impressive too, but you're only good at offense.

Anthony stilled for a split second before responding: What exactly are you trying to say?

The other party: I want to go head-to-head with you guys again!

Anthony: I don't have time for that.

The other party: Let's do it again. I may not lose this time.

Taking a deep breath, Anthony typed: Even if we compete another ten times, you'll still lose!

The other party: Aren't you a little too confident?

Anthony: Confident or not, can't you tell?

The other party: I admit I'm no match for that person. As for you, I think we have to compete again to see.

It was the first time someone had dared to doubt Anthony's capabilities.

Just as Anthony wanted to say something, Benjamin held him back. “Don't fall for his trick.”

Anthony turned to look at him.

“Since he has doubts, it'll be easy for him to find a flaw if you compete against him now,” Benjamin analyzed.

After a brief moment of hesitation, Anthony bobbed his head.

Anthony: You want to compete?

The other party: Of course.

Anthony: Sure. Bring it on!
