Chapter 201 Scheming At A Young Age Anthony turned to look at the computer beside him after
thinking for a moment. He narrowed his eyes as an idea popped into his head. He walked over to the
side and turned on the computer. After making sure that there was no problem, he proceeded with his
plan.
Despite his young age, Anthony was fast. He stared at the black screen on the computer. A red dot
appeared on the screen and turned into lines of red Ustranian letters. He typed faster and faster as he
squinted his eyes at the screen. His dark, obsidian eyes were laser-focused on it. After a few minutes,
his lips quirked into a smile. Now, Kyle will no longer come here. Anthony did not hastily turn off the
computer. He stretched his body and leaned back, tapping rhythmically on the table as if in anticipation
of something. After a few minutes, the phone rang. It was Thalia. Anthony picked up the call in a
languid manner. “Hello.” “Kyle told me he can’t come tomorrow. You may relax now.”
“Okay,” Anthony replied nonchalantly with a flat tone. “Aren’t you curious why he’s not coming?” Thalia
asked. Obviously, she thought it was unlike Anthony not to ask. “What’s there to be curious about? He’s
busy,” Anthony quipped. He was grinning to himself, surprised at just how fast his plan worked. Having
known Anthony all this time, Thalia reckoned that something was off. Anthony had insisted on keeping
his identity a secret. Thus, he should have been anxious that Kyle wanted to meet him. It was not
normal for him to be nonchalant about it. Unless… “Kyle said that there are some problems with the
goods over at Irushea. So, he has to rush over there. This… has nothing to do with you, right?” Thalia
tried to sound him out, despite feeling that it was quite impossible. Yet, she had a hunch that things
were not that simple. “Really? I’ve told Kyle that he should personally oversee them. He didn’t listen to
me, so now his goods are being held, right?” Anthony said.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“I did not mention anything about his goods being held…” Thalia let out a gasp upon the realization.
“So it was really you?” “Uh… What are you saying? I just made a guess!” Anthony dismissed her. “Do
you take me for a fool? How could you be so spot on? You… You are driving Kyle crazy!” Thalia
exclaimed. She was going crazy from the realization too. Why did I have to ask him that? Anthony
remained calm and composed. “Don’t worry. I just leaked a little information on the location nearby the
batch of goods. As long as Kyle gets there in time, he can still move them.” “What if he can’t make it in
time?” Thalia asked. “If he can’t make it in time, I will just leak information about the other party’s
goods’ whereabouts to compensate for his loss then.” Thalia was rendered speechless. A single
mishap could lead to serious repercussions, even leading to a vicious fight.
However, Anthony was making it sound like it was nothing. She suddenly found Anthony terrifying. He
was young, and yet he was capable of elaborate and ruthless schemes against the people he knew.
Could this be the alleged God’s point of view? Thalia took a deep breath and said, “Aren’t you afraid
that Kyle might give up on that batch of goods just because he wants to see you?” After all, it was
possible that Kyle would make that choice. Even though the goods were important, it was obvious that
he desperately wanted to know Anthony’s identity as well. Since both the goods and Anthony’s identity
were important to Kyle, there was no telling which one Kyle would choose. Nobody would be able to
stop him if he were to give up on the batch of goods to meet Anthony instead. Anthony thought for a
moment and responded, “Yes, it is possible. But do you think he’s more hung up on Shadow Seeker’s
identity or mine?” “Oh, I will have to go with Shadow Seeker this time. You’re also part of Darknetz.
That means you can’t hide from us forever.
However, the same cannot be said for Shadow Seeker. Kyle has been looking for her for years. As long
as there is a trace of her, he will risk everything to track her down…” Then, Thalia sensed that
something was off. “What are you getting at? Are you saying that you know about Shadow Seeker’s
whereabouts?” Anthony remained silent. How would I not know? Even if I plan to use Mommy to my
advantage, I will not let Kyle know of her actual whereabouts. However, I still cannot bring myself to go
to that extent… Hence, there were a number of ways to distract Kyle, so long as one understood what
Kyle’s Achilles’ heel was. Thalia knew that she had hit the jackpot when she noticed the silence on the
other end of the line. “So you do know about it?” “No, I don’t,” Anthony replied. “You’re lying!” Thalia
exclaimed. Even though she had no substantial evidence to back her claim, she had a hunch that he
was lying. He definitely knows! This boy is truly something else. Thalia would not be surprised if any
other extraordinary things were to have something to do with him anymore. Still, Anthony did not dignify
her with a response. “I’m also here at Glenport City to look for her, but I’ve lost her trail in the midst of it.
If you do know where she is, please let me know. That way, I can finally accomplish my mission of
recruiting her into Darknetz!”
Thalia said. “She will never join us,” Anthony said. “How do you know that? Do you know her?” Thalia
demanded. “It’s been so many years. If she truly intended to join Darknetz, she would have joined us
long ago.” “How would we know where she stands if we don’t give it a try?” Thalia asked. “If Shadow
Seeker joins us, Darknetz will be invincible, and we will have nothing to fear!” Anthony pursed his lips
as he did not know what to say. “Do you know where she is?” Thalia egged on. “No!” Anthony snapped.
“But—” “I’ve only confronted her once. That’s how I know she’s at Glenport City,” Anthony lied. Thalia
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwould not be able to fault that statement, at least. “Really?” “Yes,” Anthony stated matter-of-factly.
However, Thalia still thought there was more to what he said. “So, you leaked Shadow Seeker’s
location to Kyle?” “Will he be able to discern if I gave him a fake one?” Thalia was rendered
speechless. “You’re the worst!” Thalia complained. How could a boy of his age be so evil? Anthony
feigned a cough and said, “All right. It’s getting late. I’m going to take my rest soon. Do not tell Kyle
about this.” “Huh?” “You’re the only one in Darknetz who knows about my true identity. If there is
another soul who knows about this, then you’re definitely the tattletale.” “I—” Anthony did not give her a
chance to protest and said, “I believe that you’re still on my side.
Don’t worry. Nothing is going to happen to Kyle. I will make sure of it.” What else was left for Thalia to
say to that? She decided it was best to stay out of the two experts’ gambit. Otherwise, she would be
the one to suffer the repercussions. “All right, then. I know nothing of this,” she lamented. “One more
thing. If he intends to come again, let me know beforehand. Do not drop it down on me like a bomb
again!” Anthony huffed. “Sure.” “Okay. Good night then, Thalia!” Anthony said sweetly. An image of a
pretty little boy popped into Thalia’s mind. Just when she was relishing the angelic smile on the little
boy’s face, another image of the little boy’s devilish manner snapped her out of her daze. “Good night!”
Thalia hurriedly said as she hung up the phone. Anthony’s lips curled into a smile as he looked at the
phone. Just when Anthony was about to turn off the computer to go to sleep, he suddenly spotted a
notification about a browsing history on the screen.
