Chapter 1011 Resolving Issues
Just like that, after getting out of the vehicle, Thalia skillfully led them into the base.
The two obediently followed behind Thalia, silent, their little faces taut, looking somewhat serious.
Even so, it attracted frequent glances from passersby. Where did these children come from? They're incredibly cute, aren't they? And that feigned mature expression, why does it make me want to tease them so much?
It seemed that Thalia had noticed the attention they were attracting from all around. She turned to the two people behind her and said, “You two sure are turning a lot of heads, aren't you?”
Upon hearing that, Benjamin responded with a question, “Why are there so many people?”
“There probably aren't any tasks, so everyone's here,” said Thalia.
Benjamin listened and nodded in agreement.
“Come on, you two, lighten up! Don't look like someone owes you money,” Thalia said in a hushed tone. “I'm telling you, if you play your cards right here, you'll get some special treatment!”
However, it was difficult for them to cheer up at that moment.
After Thalia finished speaking, she seemed to realize something and didn't say any more.
Just then, a person walked up to them. Recognizing Thalia, she couldn't help but ask, “Thalia, who are these two children?”
Thalia paused, looking at the person with a slight smile. “Why don't you make a guess?”
The person glanced sideways, taking a look at the two children behind her. Their skin was fair and tender, and she felt the urge to give them a few pats.
“Don't tell me they're yours?” the person asked with a grin.
Thalia took a deep breath, then laughed. “I wish, but... I'm not that lucky!”
“Who are they, then?”
“I picked them up randomly from the roadside on the way here. What do you think? They're cute, aren't they?” Thalia asked. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
“You picked them up from the roadside? Are you serious?” The person asked, sounding skeptical.
“Of course. Where else would I get two children from?” Thalia retorted.
“These two kids... dressed in such wealth and luxury, how could they possibly be foundlings?” The person shook her head, clearly showing her disbelief.
“Excellent. You've learned to observe now,” Thalia teased.
“Even though I work behind the scenes, I still have these basic skills.”
“Sure, you can be on the front line next time,” Thalia teased.
The person chuckled. “You haven't even mentioned where these children came from?”
“What's the matter? Do you like them?”
“They're just too cute to behold.”
“It's surprising that someone as young as you has a fondness for children!”
“Haha, I've liked children since I was little.”
At that moment, Thalia turned around to look at the two people behind her. “Let me introduce you. This is Melanie Sims, who is in charge of intelligence at our base.”
Anthony and Benjamin spoke in unison. “Hello, Melanie.”
Melanie's face lit up with a smile after hearing that.
“You're such good boys and so adorable!” said Melanie.
“If you love children so much, hurry up and have a baby!”
“Who should I copulate with?”
“Have Boss arrange one for you!”
Speaking of that, Melanie sighed. “Never mind, I'll just rely on myself.”
Thalia chuckled teasingly. “All right, you go for it. I won't keep you. Boss is waiting. I'll take them in first.”
Melanie nodded. “All right, you go ahead with your work, Thalia. I'll get busy, too!”
Thalia nodded. Melanie smiled and reluctantly glanced at the two little boys before finally leaving.
Thalia glanced back at the two, murmuring, “I didn't expect to attract so much attention before even stepping in!”
“We're born with good looks. We can't help it,” Benjamin said.
“You're quite immodest.”
“It's a pity Denise is not here. If she had, we would have attracted more attention,” Benjamin said.
After some thought, Thalia nodded in agreement. “That makes sense.” She then glanced at them and said, “Let's go.”
By the time they arrived, Kyle had already been waiting inside.
In the center of the main hall, there was a completely transparent glass conference room where one could clearly see every movement inside. At that moment, Kyle was inside, making a phone call.
Upon seeing that, Benjamin furrowed his brows. “Doesn't this make you feel insecure?”
Thalia grinned. “It's soundproof. Don't worry.”
“But isn't there anyone skilled at lip reading?” Benjamin asked.
Thalia glanced at him, didn't say much, and walked up to knock on the door. At that moment, Kyle turned around and waved his hand after seeing it was them. Only then did the three of them enter.
“That's right. Yes. Just do as I said!” Kyle was still on the phone.
After they entered, Thalia immediately pressed a button next to the handrail at the entrance. At that moment, the previously completely transparent glass suddenly flickered.
Benjamin was stunned. “What just happened?”
Thalia gestured for him to leave the room with a tilt of her chin.
“What?” Benjamin immediately walked toward the outside. However, looking in from the outside, he could no longer see anything. Yet, everything was still clear when he walked in and looked out.
Benjamin walked in and then looked outside, his expression one of understanding. “So, that's how it is.”
“How's that? Do you feel safe now?” Thalia asked.
Benjamin nodded. “Yes, it's safe.”
“However, we hardly ever used this feature. Kyle prefers dealing with people directly, so it's generally not used.”
“Well, if that's the case, why not just tear it down?” Benjamin asked.
“Well, he has this little quirk of being in enclosed spaces. So, there was no choice but to create this thing,” Thalia said.
Upon hearing that, Benjamin nodded.
At that moment, Anthony, who was standing nearby, spoke up. “Mr. Dave's base also has one of these things.”
Upon hearing that, Thalia was taken aback. “What did you say?”
“It's identical, even the style is spot on,” said Anthony.
Thalia furrowed her brows, looking at him as she asked, “Are you telling the truth or not?”
“What do you think?” Anthony retorted.
Thalia, of course, knew that Anthony had no reason to talk nonsense. She was taken aback. “How can it be such a coincidence?”
“That's right. The coincidences in this world are far more than just this.”
Of course, Thalia knew what he was hinting at.
At that moment, Kyle hurriedly ended the call. “Let's leave it at that for now. I have something to attend to here, so I must hang up now.” With that, he promptly ended the call.
He left the phone on the table. Turning around to look at them, Kyle walked straight over. Upon seeing Anthony and Benjamin, the face of Kenneth involuntarily flashed across his mind.
The first time he saw them, he didn't notice any resemblance. But now, ever since he learned about that matter, it was hard not to associate them.
Even knowing they were Kenneth's children, he felt there was no connection between them.
Kyle felt conflicted inside.
He looked at them, and Anthony was also looking at him. At that moment, it seemed as if they had a mutual understanding, as if a distance had formed between them.
They looked at each other, neither of them speaking.
At that moment, Thalia, who had been watching from the side, stepped forward, breaking the silence. “You seemed quite anxious to have us here. Is there something going on?”
Kyle was pulled back from his thoughts, looking at them. “Indeed.”
“What?”
Kyle's gaze shifted to Anthony. “There's something that needs to be deciphered. Our men have tried but to no avail, so...”
Upon hearing that, Anthony instantly understood what was happening. He walked over and sat down at a table, smoothly pulling out his laptop. He powered it up and said, “Send me the files.”
