You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth)

Chapter 1030 Set The Accounts Straight

After walking a considerable distance, Benjamin looked at Anthony, who was silent, and began to speak, “What's the matter? Are you worried?”

Hearing Benjamin's words, Anthony came back to his senses and looked at him before responding, “Hmm, this matter is still quite far away. Besides, it is indeed a question whether we can find it or not.”

Listening to his words, Benjamin sighed. “What I'm talking about is Magus.”

“Magus? What happened to him?” Anthony asked.

“Aren't you worried that he won't come back once he leaves?” Benjamin raised an eyebrow.

“If that's the case, it only means that I lack the ability to retain talent.”

“Is it so bad?” Benjamin asked.

“What do you think?” Anthony retorted.

Benjamin thought for a moment. “I now understand why Kyle did what he did.”

After all, it was possible for someone like Magus, who hadn't taken any action yet, to just leave.

Listening to his words, Anthony's gaze turned directly towards him. His gaze was piercing, as if it carried a warning.

Seeing the situation, Benjamin immediately said, “I was just saying it. I didn't actually agree.”

“Benjamin, remember this, 'Do not do unto others what you don't want done unto you.' In this world, you can never control anyone else. Also, never become the person you once despised,” Anthony said, emphasizing each word.

Benjamin listened and asked, “Tony, if the Awakened Alliance really takes off, can you really accomplish all of this?”

“I'll do my best,” replied Anthony.

Benjamin listened, and nodded. “Alright, I believe you.”

The two of them got ready to leave.

Suddenly, Anthony remembered something. “By the way, how much cash do you have on you?” he abruptly asked.

“I think a few tens of thousands left?”

“Give it to me.”

“What do you need so much cash for?” Benjamin asked.

“I have my arrangements.” Anthony didn't elaborate.

Benjamin raised an eyebrow, but didn't ask further. “Alright, I'll get it for you from my room later.”

Soon, the two of them walked back. Just as Benjamin was about to enter the room, he saw Xiaosi coming out. Seeing him, Anthony immediately called out, “Xiaosi.”

“Tony, Ben,” Denise immediately walked over. “When did you guys get back?”

“It's been a while,” said Anthony.

“Did you guys tell Kyle about my matter?” Denise asked.

“Hmm!” Anthony nodded. “Ben explained it very clearly.”

Upon hearing that, Denise immediately looked at Benjamin. “Thank you, Ben, but what did Kyle say?”

Benjamin glanced at Anthony, he now understood. No matter what he did, he would never speak of it in front of Denise. He was playing the good cop.

Turning around, his gaze fell on Denise. “The decision was firmly made by Tony, ask him.” With that, he walked towards the house.

Upon hearing the sound, Denise turned her gaze back to Anthony, her face full of anticipation. “Tony, did you do that? What did you decide on?”

Anthony and Benjamin shared a tacit understanding.

How could they not understand that Benjamin did it on purpose?

With a helpless sigh, Benjamin didn't say much more, “Just do what your heart desires, and leave the rest to me.”

“Is... is this okay?”

Just then, Benjamin walked out of the room and said to her, “What's wrong with that? Don't forget that I'm also one of the leaders of Darknetz. I do have that authority. Since you've made up your mind, don't overthink it. If anything happens, Tony will handle it.” With that, he winked at her, a picture of reassurance.

Upon seeing the situation, Denise subtly shifted her gaze onto Anthony's face.

The latter showed no expression. Seeing this, Denise opened her mouth and asked, “What about Tony...?”

“Don't worry,” Anthony said softly.

Upon hearing this, Denise knew it was reliable and said, “In that case, I'll have to trouble you with this matter, big brother.”

“It's no trouble at all, Tony is more than happy to help,” Benjamin said again.

Anthony's gaze immediately turned towards him.

Seeing the situation, Benjamin quickly handed him the brown paper bag he was holding. “All the cash is in here.”

It was a big stack that carried a substantial weight.

Anthony nodded. “I will transfer the money to your card.”

“Actually, there are other ways to repay. We're brothers after all, so there is no need to keep such a strict account...” Benjamin said, looking at him thoughtfully.

As if he knew what he was going to say, Anthony immediately spoke up, “Even between brothers, it's best to set the accounts straight to avoid any disputes.”

Upon hearing this, Benjamin's eyebrows raised slightly.

Upon seeing the situation, Denise looked at Anthony and asked, “Tony, what do you need so much cash for?”

“For an emergency.”

“I still have some. Do you want it?” Denise asked.

“How much is it?”

“I haven't seen it either, but there's still quite a bit left.”

“Then give it to me,” said Anthony.

“Alright, wait for me a moment. I'll go get it from the room,” said Denise, turning around and heading towards the room.

As soon as Denise left, Anthony turned his gaze directly towards Benjamin, “I didn't know that but when did you start talking so much?”

“I can't be the only good guy here,” Benjamin said.

Anthony looked at him, his pair of black eyes radiating maturity and steadiness.

“Tony, I know you like to do good deeds without seeking recognition, but you always criticize and lecture her in front of her face, yet protect her behind her back. If you don't tell her, she will only end up fearing you over time,” Benjamin said.

“I...”

“I know what you're about to say.” Benjamin interrupted him directly, “If that's really what you wish, then just pretend I said nothing.”

Sure enough, Anthony looked at him, momentarily at a loss for words.

Seeing him fall silent, Benjamin teased, “I knew it. You're all talk and don't mean it. You are just playing tough.”

Hearing that, Anthony also looked at him. “I never realized you talked so much before.”

“That just shows you don't understand your brother well enough, Tony. You're falling short of your duties.” As he spoke, Benjamin playfully patted him on the shoulder, a teasing smirk on his face.

However, Anthony turned his head to glance at the hand resting on his shoulder, then nodded thoughtfully. “Indeed, I haven't been showing much care and understanding towards you. From now on, I will make it up to you...”

Err... Why does this make me feel uneasy?

“What do you want to do?” Benjamin asked. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“You'll find out soon enough,” Anthony said, a smirk playing on his lips.

Benjamin was speechless.

As the two were engaged in a playful tussle, Denise emerged from the room. She held a small pink bag, which she handed directly to Anthony. “Tony, everything's in here,” she said.

Looking at her pink purse, Anthony furrowed his brows.

Benjamin moved slightly forward, peeking inside. “Oh my, there's so much? When did you exchange all this money?”

“All of these were given to me by Daddy and Mr. Dave.”

Benjamin's frown deepened. “How come I don't have it?”

“Could it be that you... aren't cute enough?” Denise raised an eyebrow.

Upon hearing this, Benjamin nodded helplessly. “Yes, you're right.”

Let's just forget about the word “cute”.

However, Anthony, who was standing nearby, took it from her hands. “I'll hold onto the bag for a while and give it back to you later.” Having said that, he headed straight for the room.

No sooner had he walked away than Denise immediately turned to Benjamin. “What does Tony need so much cash for?”
