Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 657

Anthony caught up with Benjamin, who was walking slowly, and said, “Benjamin, whatever it is you want to say, just say it. What's with that expression?”

“Nothing.”

“Do you really think I don't know what you're thinking about?”

Benjamin side-eyed his brother and replied, “Is it what I am thinking about or what you are thinking about?”

Upon hearing his double-edged remark, Anthony narrowed his eyes slightly and said, “Benjamin, did you secretly pick up mind-reading skills?”

Benjamin let out a chuckle. “So, are you finally admitting to it?”

Anthony sighed. “Why is it so hard to keep anything from you?” He nodded. “Yes, it's true that I have selfish intentions. I've been wanting to form my own hacker organization. His skills are not worse than mine, so I wanted to try to get him to join me.”

Benjamin seemed to have expected it. He was not surprised at all when he heard that. He fixed his gaze on his brother and analyzed, “His skills are indeed not worse than yours, and it's definitely beneficial for your organization with him joining. But we don't really know him well, and considering his links with Vermillion Base, even if he pledges his allegiance to you, do you really think he will remain loyal?”

Anthony furrowed his brows. “I've thought about what you said as well. That's why it's just an idea. Let's see how it goes. Besides, he's not going to be the only person in my organization. I won't recruit him if I have any doubts about him.”

Benjamin nodded and replied, “Mm. You should give it some careful thought. It's better to be safe than sorry. We can't afford this loss.”

“I know.” Anthony nodded, then looked at Benjamin. “So, do you want to be the first member of my organization?”

Benjamin chuckled. “Bye.”

Staring at his departing figure, Anthony said, “Won't you even consider that? As long as we brothers unite, there's nothing we can't accomplish.”

“I'm not interested,” Benjamin rejected directly.

Knowing that his brother was not interested in this, Anthony asked, “Anyway, what are your plans?”

Benjamin thought about it for a moment and replied, “I don't have any plans yet, but no matter what it is, I will continue doing what I enjoy doing.”

Anthony nodded. “All right. Our family is very democratic, and we will never stop you from pursuing your dreams. Although research requires a huge amount of time and money, our family is rich, so you don't have to worry. Besides... even if Daddy and Nat don't care, you still have me. I will always support you unconditionally!”

“Are you going to fund my research?”

“Do you even have to ask?”

“Really?”

“Of course. It's a given.”

Benjamin looked up at the sky at once as if he was searching for something.

Anthony looked up as well and asked, “What are you looking at?”

“I'm trying to see if there are pigs in the sky.”

Anthony was rendered speechless. He withdrew his gaze and said, “Seriously, Benjamin, you're so ungrateful!”

Benjamin flashed a cheeky smile and replied, “Is that not the case? After all, you have always been so stingy toward Denise and me. I'm just surprised at your sudden generosity, although it's only all talk at the moment.”

“How could you call me stingy? I did all of that to help the two of you learn and make sure that your lives are fulfilling. It's all for your sake. Now that you have grown up well and are ready to take on the world, it's time for me, as your elder brother, to show you some love!”

“Is that so?”

“Of course!” Anthony stepped forward and put his arm around Benjamin's shoulder. “Maybe you should call me your big bro from now on. The more you call me that, the more funding you will get from me.”

So this is what he's after.

Benjamin looked at Anthony with an innocent expression. “Really?”

“Of course. C'mon, try it.” Anthony looked at his brother expectantly.
