Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 919

Arriving at that thought, Kenneth turned him. “I'll allow you to participate, and you can be in charge of DX's dark web system, but Anthony, I need you to promise me something.”

Anthony would have agreed to ten promises.

He turned to meet Kenneth's gaze. His eyes sparkled with excitement. “I promise!”

“You haven't even heard it yet!”

“As long as I'm involved, I'm in, no matter what it is!” Anthony declared enthusiastically.

At this moment, nothing was more important to him than getting involved.

Kenneth studied his son with his beady eyes. Despite the boy's conviction, a request like this should be stated upfront.

“Obey orders during the mission. Never act on your own accord,” Kenneth said, meeting the boy's gaze.

Anthony nodded at once. “Of course!”

Despite Kenneth's extreme reluctance to involve Anthony in this, he knew that Anthony's abilities had already determined the course of this event; his involvement was inevitable.

With that thought in mind, Kenneth stroked the boy's head.

It was something Natasha would do.

Anthony looked at him. A faint smile was playing on his lips.

Dave sighed helplessly. “So, are you handing over DX's dark web system just like that?”

Kenneth turned to regard Dave at the mention of the matter. “Just give him some administrative rights. He won't be able to see the core secrets anyway.”

“Given his abilities, do you really think we can keep it from him?” Dave retorted.

Listening in on the conversation, Anthony chimed in, “Do you lack confidence in your dark web system, Mr. Dave?”

“I... of course I'm confident!”

“So, what are you still worried about?” Anthony retorted. “Besides, I have professional integrity. I wouldn't pry into secrets that are not mine without permission.”

Dave snorted. “The first time I heard the term 'professional integrity' was from your father's mouth. Yet, he was nothing but unprofessional.”

Anthony turned to look at Kenneth, looking surprised.

The latter explained, “All's fair in war.”

Glaring at him, Dave retorted, “More like shamelessness.”

Kenneth pursed his lips, about to say something, but Anthony interjected, “Hold it, Daddy, Mr. Dave. Now is not the time for an argument!”

“Then when is?”

“Then when is?”

Both adults asked in unison.

Even their voices were surprisingly in sync.

Anthony looked at them. “I want to know your entire plan!”

At the boy's request, Kenneth and Dave exchanged another glance.

The pair were looking at each other as if trying to figure something out.

Naturally, Anthony knew what they were doing. Gazing at them, he said earnestly, “Since you've decided to involve me, Daddy, Mr. Dave, shouldn’t you tell me the truth? That way, I can manage my schedule better and allocate the most time for you!”

Dave leaned back lazily onto the leather chair as he turned to Kenneth. “You decide. He's your son, so you have the final say.”

Anthony then turned his gaze toward Kenneth.

After much hesitation, Kenneth met his gaze and nodded.

Only then did they reveal their entire plan to Anthony.

After he heard it, Anthony narrowed his eyes, turning his gaze back to Dave.
