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

Chapter 951 Advancing Toward The International Arena

Just as Anthony was about to say something, he noticed a sudden change on his computer screen.

“Hold on,” he uttered, leaning forward a fraction.

A series of numbers appeared on the computer screen, but the person who sent them vanished after just a few seconds.

The only one who could have done that was the person earlier. No one else could have accomplished it.

Cosmos followed his gaze in the direction of the table. Upon seeing the numbers, his head likewise leaned forward. “What... does this mean?”

“I would also like to know what this means!” Anthony muttered.

Cosmos stared at the numbers for a while. Then, he ventured, “Could it be that he can't stand losing to you, so he's playing some tricks?”

Upon hearing that, Anthony turned his gaze to the man. “If it were you, would you do this?”

The moment those words rang out, Cosmos immediately straightened. “Of course not. If I lose, I lose. I can accept the reality!”

“How do you know they can't accept the reality of losing, then?”

“I...” Cosmos was at a loss for words for a moment. Indeed, he had no evidence to prove that the other party couldn't accept losing. However, after some thought, he felt that something was off. “Why do I feel like you're siding with him in everything you say?”

“It's not about taking sides. I'm just trying to look at things from a fair perspective!” Anthony said.

“No way!” Cosmos was not someone who was easily fooled. Hearing that, he immediately shook his head. “When I watched you guys duel earlier, you both seemed to be sympathetic toward one another. You're not really thinking of recruiting him, are you?”

Anthony pondered for a moment. “Why couldn't I?”

“We at DX Group absolutely won't accept people of unknown origin!” Cosmos declared immediately.

Anthony rolled his eyes at the man. “Who said I'd be recruiting him for you?”

“If not?”

“I'll naturally be reserving him for my own use!” Anthony answered.

His organization was still lacking someone with such a level of skill other than him.

“For your own use?” Cosmos eyeballed him. “How so?”

Even though they both worked within the same organization, the difference between Anthony and Cosmos was significant. One was an innate employee, while the other was a partner. That determined that their paths of development were destined to be different.

His world revolved around completing his tasks perfectly.

On the contrary, Anthony's world revolved around advancing toward the international arena.

With that in mind, Anthony turned to him and said, “Can you stop asking questions for now? The most important thing at the moment is to figure out the meaning of this set of numbers!” Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Speaking of which, Cosmos finally refocused his thoughts, his gaze falling on the computer screen. His brows furrowed slightly. “It's just a set of numbers. What could it possibly mean?”

“Don't you find it strange that the person sent a string of numbers for no reason?” Anthony asked.

“Well... It's indeed a bit strange, but after all, he is our enemy now. He surely wouldn't be delivering us some information, would he?” Cosmos scoffed nonchalantly.

“Delivering us some information...” Anthony muttered. Subsequently, he glanced at the numbers and narrowed his eyes slightly. “It's not entirely impossible!”

Hearing that, Cosmos looked at him incredulously. “What? You believed that?”

Anthony didn't say anything further. Instead, he opened an interface, copied the numbers, and pasted them there. However, after he had opened it, it was still just a bunch of numbers and nothing more.

His brows furrowed.

Just then, Cosmos said, “That was merely an offhanded remark. It might be some IP address he sent you intentionally to lure you over. Don't take it too seriously!”

Nonetheless, a strong intuition told Anthony that there was no need for the person to do such a thing.

The result was clear. If it was truly about luring him over, there was absolutely no need for that. Making a last-ditch effort and throwing straws against the wind was utterly pointless.

Thus, he still tended to believe that the person must be trying to tell them something.

At that thought, Anthony lifted his eyes and looked around. On the wall somewhere near him was a map that took up the entire wall.

Anthony stared at it fixedly. The moment he saw the numbers on it, his eyes promptly narrowed.

In the next moment, he turned on the computer and separated the numbers in a segmented format once more. Then, he inputted the information bit by bit. Finally, a location was displayed.

“Found it! It's latitude and longitude, a location!” Anthony exclaimed.

As he spoke, he turned to look at Cosmos. “Do you know where this location is?”

Cosmos leaned in skeptically. Upon seeing the location on the screen, he froze instantly, his expression turning grim in a flash.

“You... This is the result of the numerical analysis you've done?” Cosmos asked.

Anthony nodded. “That's right!”

Staring at it, Cosmos was suddenly unsure whether to believe it. In any case, his expression was exceedingly grave.

Anthony looked at him, his eyebrows furrowed. “Mr. Dave allowed me to be here. Hence, it means he trusts me fully. You should know that there's a lot at stake tonight. If there's anything, I hope you can speak up outright!”

At that, Cosmos shifted his gaze to him.

While he was still wavering, Anthony took something out of his pocket and placed it right on the table. “Does this make it clear enough?”

“Dave gave you the cryptographic key to dark web?” Cosmos was taken aback.

“This sufficiently proves Mr. Dave's trust in me now, yes?” Anthony asked.

Perhaps Anthony didn't understand what that cryptographic key represented, but Cosmos was all too aware of it. His eyes brimmed with surprise as he gaped at Anthony.

“You're still unwilling to talk?” Anthony asked.

Right then, Cosmos pinned his eyes on him. “It's not that I'm unwilling to talk. It's just that I don't understand how they would know.”

“Know what?”

Cosmos sighed. “The place indicated by this location is our other base.”

Upon hearing that, Anthony's eyebrows furrowed slightly. “Other base?”

“Yes. Besides this one, we still have a vast base,” Cosmos murmured.

Anthony's brow furrowed in thought. However, as he continued to mull it over, he suddenly had a bad premonition.

In the next moment, he immediately picked up his phone from the table and made a call.

Unexpectedly, no one answered even after a long time.

An indescribable sense of panic and anxiety swamped him. When the call failed to go through, he hung up and immediately phoned Kenneth. However, the latter was also unreachable.

At that turn of events, the sense of dread within him grew.

Watching beside him, Cosmos couldn't help but ask, “What's wrong with you?”

At that, Anthony turned and fixed his gaze on the man. “Can you get in touch with the people at that base?”

Cosmos nodded. “Of course, I can!”

“Then, tell them right now to make preparations. It's highly likely that Vermillion Base will launch an attack on them tonight!” Anthony said seriously.

Cosmos was instantly floored. “What? That's impossible! How could they know our location?”

“If this string of numbers represents latitude and longitude as well as location, it means your base has been exposed. How they found out isn't important. What's crucial now is to take preventative measures. Otherwise, it'll be too late for regrets when something happens for real!”
