As the car lit up in flames, they hid in the dark and waited for Kenneth's appearance.

However, time ticked by, and no one appeared.

Anthony and Benjamin looked around anxiously for fear that they would miss anything because the longer they waited, the less likely Kenneth would appear.

On the contrary, Dave looked rather calm. He looked at Anthony and Benjamin expressionless. It seemed as if all of this was within his expectation.

Thalia stood behind him and looked at his expression closely. She noticed his lips slowly curled upward.

An hour had passed.

There was no trace of Kenneth but just a few passers-by who had come over to have a look.

The two boys were upset.

Dave gazed at them. "Maybe your daddy really isn't around here. That's why he didn't show up."

"Then why did he park his car here?" asked Anthony.

"Maybe he has other plans and he just parked his car here temporarily. Maybe we just think too much!"

Anthony looked at Dave, feeling disappointed. Despite his refusal to admit it, there was nothing he could do.

Looking at the car that was burned down with only its skeleton left, Anthony knew that Kenneth would never appear.

He turned and headed straight to where they came from.

Benjamin immediately went after him.

Right then, Thalia walked up to Dave and gave him a meaningful look. When their eyes met, their emotions were stirred up.

Thalia smirked and followed Anthony and Benjamin.

Dave retracted his gaze and followed them as well.

Soon, night fell.

In the room, Anthony was lying on his bed with his hands behind his head.

He stared blankly at the ceiling, seemingly in deep thought.

Benjamin walked over and sat at the side. "Can we talk?"

Anthony turned to look at him. "Say it!"

"Do you think Mr. Dave is acting a little strange?"

"What are you trying to say?" Anthony narrowed his eyes.

Benjamin gave it some thought and said, "When Thalia and I were walking behind you earlier today, we chatted for a while. Thalia said she's suspicious..." "About what?"

Benjamin shook his head. "She didn't finish her sentence, but I feel it has something to do with Mr. Dave. Besides... I also think he's a little strange."

Anthony's attention was all on Kenneth, and he had not noticed any strange behavior from Dave. However, since Benjamin had brought that up, he suddenly had the same feeling too. "Indeed. Since the day we went to look for Daddy, Mr. Dave has been acting a little weird..."

"Do you think Mr. Dave doesn't want us to..."

"What do you mean?"

Benjamin frowned. "I'm not quite sure, but I feel that Mr. Dave doesn't really want us to replace Daddy..."

"You mean Mr. Dave has some other motive?"

"I don't want to think so, but his behavior is indeed a little strange!"

Anthony shook his head after contemplating for a while. "That's impossible!"

"Why?"

"He has a very strong friendship with Daddy!"

"But they haven't seen each other for many years. Who knows what happened over the years? Humans are unpredictable!"

Hearing that, Anthony fell into deep thought again, but he was still firm. "I still don't think that's possible. I think their relationship should become stronger over time instead of the other way around. I believe in Mr. Dave."

"I share the same thought as you, and I want to believe in Mr. Dave too. But how do you explain his strange behavior?"

Anthony frowned. "Instead of guessing here, why don't we have an honest chat with him?"

"What if he still continues to act in the same way?"

"Then that's the end of our cooperation!"

Benjamin nodded in agreement.

"Let's go!" Anthony immediately got up from his bed and the two then headed outside.

Meanwhile, Thalia suddenly appeared on Dave's balcony by jumping from a balcony on the other side.

Seeing that the room was empty, Thalia walked in.

She heard the sound of flowing water coming from the bathroom. Just as she was trying to figure out her next move, the sound of flowing water stopped. It was then followed by the sound of footsteps. She immediately hid in a corner, knowing that he was about to come out of the bathroom.

Thalia knew that she would definitely be exposed the moment he opened the door.

However, that was also the best moment for her to make her move.

She looked even more determined at that thought.

As soon as the door was opened, Thalia stepped forward and pointed a gun at his back without hesitation.

"Don't move!" Thalia said.

Dave immediately froze.

Thalia looked at him, and her lips quirked up. "The legendary Wild Wolf is not so impressive after all!"

Look, he fell into my hands so easily.

Dave turned around slowly, not feeling angry or annoyed.

"Don't move!" Thalia warned him again, pointing the gun at him.

Dave raised his hands, looking relaxed. "I'm not moving, but we have to talk face-to-face, right?"

Thalia looked at him warily.

Dave was born with the appearance of an aristocrat. His gestures were elegant and charming. Even when he was put under such a circumstance, he still remained calm.

"I don't think you're here just to kill me. Am I right?"

"Why not?"

"How are you going to explain to Anthony and Benjamin after you kill me?"

"Don't you think all your little tricks are enough for me to explain?"

Dave stared at her in silence.

I knew it! Even though I could hide it from the two little ones, I could not hide it from her! She's indeed one of the top members of Darknetz.

"What little tricks?" Dave pretended to be innocent.

"Are you going to keep acting innocent?"

Dave smiled and said nothing.

Thalia looked at him. "I won't allow you to take advantage of their trust in you. I'm going to end your life today!"

"Do you really think you can kill me?"

"What do you think?" Thalia looked determined.

"Do you think I will open my balcony door so widely in this mosquito season and wait for you to come in and kill me?"

Thalia, who was about to shoot him, was stunned by his words.

Just as she was lost in thought, Dave made a move and slapped her hand.

Thalia responded quickly too, but Dave still managed to break free from her control.

"How despicable!" Thalia raged and charged toward him. The next moment, the two started fighting in the small room.
