You're Out Daddy

Chapter 811 Traitors Must Be Expelled

Kyle narrowed his eyes as he scrutinized the boy before him. “I've barely warmed the seat, and you're already

chasing me away?”

“Don't you have anything better to do?” Anthony asked.

“On the contrary, which goes to show just how much I value you! Even with my busy schedule, I was still

determined to find the time to meet you,” Kyle replied, unashamed of putting his bootlicking skills to use.

A glint of mischief flashed across Anthony's eyes. “So, you're here because you wanted to see me... Now that we've

met, is there anything else?”

“Of course! I don't even know where to start!” Kyle exclaimed. Ha. The more Anthony wants me to leave, the more

I refuse to... Something's up with him. I'm sure of it.

“Oh? What is it?”

“Well...” Kyle uttered as he raised his eyebrows. “For example, I still have no idea what you're doing here.”

Even though he had meant that as a joke, everyone else was so taken aback that the atmosphere turned somewhat

awkward.

Anthony quickly shot a glance at Thalia. Since the latter wasn't saying anything, he pondered the question before

looking up at Kyle determinedly. “I'm here because I have some personal matters to settle.”

“Personal matters? Like what?” Kyle asked before dropping his voice to a whisper. “Perhaps I could be of some

assistance.”

After a brief moment of hesitation, Anthony replied, “I want to build my own team.”

“Huh? What did you say?” Kyle muttered in disbelief. Given Anthony's personality, he'd either deny everything or

beat around the bush. I can't believe he answered me so readily!

“I said I want to build a team that I can mobilize anytime,” Anthony repeated, his voice loud and clear.

Still not believing his ears, Kyle stared at the boy before turning to Thalia.

I knew Anthony came here for a reason, but I never imagined it'd be this.

By then, the atmosphere in the room was undoubtedly tense and frigid.

From the look that Kyle gave Thalia, it was apparent she had not told him anything.

“You don't need to look at Thalia,” Anthony piped up. “I was the one who tricked her into coming here. She knows

nothing about this.”

Upon hearing that, Thalia furrowed her brows. “He didn't trick me. I do know a little about this matter.”

“No, you don't. I never told you anything!”

Judging by the interaction between Thalia and Anthony, Kyle was sure that the two got along very well. However, he

also knew Thalia wasn't a dim-witted person who could be easily manipulated.

Despite that, he tamped down his irritation and looked at Anthony. “Are you saying you want to leave Darknetz?”

“I don't intend to.”

“But isn't that the whole point of building your own team?”

“My team won't pose any threat to Darknetz.”

Kyle couldn't help but let out a wry chuckle. “How can I trust you?”

“I don't have a way to prove that now, so you'll have to take my word for it. I always mean what I say,” Anthony

answered.

“In that case, are you aware of the rules of Darknetz? Anyone who breaks the rules will be expelled!”

Anthony suddenly fell silent.

Ah. I guess we just can't avoid this grim subject...

With that, the boy pursed his lips and spoke up. “I'm aware of the rules. That's why I won't put you in a spot. I'll quit

voluntarily.”

Needless to say, Kyle and Thalia were shocked by Anthony's decision.

“Anthony!” Thalia exclaimed.

Kyle might not have understood the situation, but one thing was for sure—he was furious. “Are you serious?”

“Yes!”

“This is our first meeting in person, and here you are, telling me you want to quit?” Kyle growled out. He had

managed to keep his voice down, but not even that was enough to suppress the anger in his tone.

Anthony slowly lowered his gaze. “I don't want to either, but I have no other choice!”

“Do you really not have a choice, or did you plan this from the start?” Kyle snapped. At that moment, he could no

longer treat Anthony like a child.

I've always known he's an ambitious person, so I willingly gave him the company shares to make him one of the

core members. Alas, who knew he'd spring this news on me? I bet he's leaving because he isn't satisfied with the

status quo. He wants to run his own show!

Having realized how serious things had gotten, Thalia quickly interjected, “Boss, Anthony has his reasons!”

“Reasons? What reasons?”

Thalia, however, was stumped. Oh, dear. How am I supposed to broach the subject of Kenneth Hamilton? That'd be

an invasion of Anthony's privacy! Besides, the information might also ruin Anthony and Kyle's relationship. I'd better

watch what I say...

“You say it, Anthony,” she mumbled as she turned to the boy.

Anthony, too, knew what was at stake. If he didn't clarify things, he'd still have a chance to remain friends with Kyle

and Holden. However, if he were to come clean, it might just spell the end of their friendship.

With that thought in mind, Anthony made a painful decision. “There's nothing much to say. Just take it as I have

ulterior motives. I'm willing to accept the punishment. My only hope is that we can still be friends.”

Thalia's eyes widened in shock. “Anthony!”

Kyle, on the other hand, glared at the boy. “Friends? How can we still be friends? Do you know there are conditions

to adhere to once you get expelled?”

A deep frown instantly crossed Anthony's brows. “What conditions?”

“First, you'll have to turn everything in,” Kyle said, eyes glowing with anger. “Second, you can never work in this

field again.”

When Anthony heard that, his gaze turned dark.

Even Benjamin and Denise, who were sitting aside, became incredibly worried.

Banning Anthony from the field would be the cruelest thing to do, especially when technology was his greatest

passion and pride.

“Tony...” Denise uttered as she looked at her brother.

The latter, however, merely pursed his lips and said nothing.

Just then, Benjamin's voice rang out. “Is there no other way?”

A steely-eyed Kyle shook his head. Now that Anthony knows the consequences, I really hope he'll give up the idea of

quitting...

“I can turn everything in, but I can't leave this field,” Anthony replied calmly. “Even without Anonymous, there will

still be others. I'm sorry, but I can't promise you that.”

“This is not your decision to make,” Kyle retorted.

Anthony narrowed his eyes and stared at the man.

Just as Kyle was about to say something else, his phone suddenly rang. “Excuse me. I have to take this call,” he

said, frowning at the number on the screen before walking away.

The next second, Denise turned to Thalia and asked, “Thalia, why did Kyle say it's not Tony's decision to make?”
