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

Chapter 927 Genes

Dave looked at Anthony, his eyes narrowing.

Anthony looked up with an innocent look. “Mr. Dave, it's not that I don't want to pray for the best. It's just that, for something with zero probability, it's better not to get our hopes up.”

“How did the probability drop to zero? What are you and Benjamin? The results of genetic mutation?” Dave raised an eyebrow.

Upon hearing that, Anthony raised an eyebrow. “To be precise, we're not exactly that. Our family just has a powerful combination of genes. It's hereditary.”

“Hereditary?”

“Yeah. My grandpa was a hacker. They say daughters take after their fathers, so Nat is a hacker. And sons follow their mothers, so I am a hacker, too. It all adds up,” said Anthony.

Dave listened. Though he was convinced, he still looked at the boy with a stern gaze. “What about Benjamin?”

“Benjamin inherited traits from my daddy and grandma,” Anthony said. “According to Daddy, Grandma was once a formidable person. Hence, it makes sense for Benjamin, too.”

Dave listened, then looked at Anthony. “What about Denise?”

Speaking of Denise, Anthony sighed helplessly. “Denise is rather fortunate. She took after my great- grandfather.”

“Fortunate?”

“She has incredible acting skills,” Anthony said with a shrug and a smile.

Dave was speechless.

However, he couldn't deny that Anthony's analysis did hold a certain amount of truth.

He initially wanted to spar with the boy verbally, but at that moment, they had already arrived at the main control room of the dark web.

It was roughly two hundred meters square large. At that moment, there were about three rows of computers from one end to the other. A dozen or so screens, large and small, similar in size to televisions, were suspended overhead. The place looked like a control room for God's eyes.

When Anthony walked in, he was slightly taken aback by the scene before him.

Even though he was a key figure in the dark web, he had never actually visited the dark web's room. He had only vaguely seen a few videos and photos of the room. The dark web primarily focused on the internet, making it one of the top in the industry. The place was already quite large, yet the dark web was several times bigger than that.

With those thoughts, Anthony couldn't help but start looking forward to spending time there.

It was his first time visiting that kind of place, but he never expected it to be DX. Indeed, life was full of countless possibilities.

As Anthony stared, Dave spoke up. “I've cleared everyone out for you. Now, this place is all yours. You can do whatever you want.”

Anthony nodded.

At that moment, Cosmos, who was following behind them, frowned upon hearing that. How can he entrust this place to a child?

Cosmos faked a cough, spurring Dave to turn to him.

“What's up? Is something wrong?” Dave raised an eyebrow.

At that moment, Cosmos stepped forward and said, “Dave, how can you entrust the system of the dark web to a child?”

Dave responded, “I have a plan. Don't worry.”

“I know you're worried, but you can always turn to lady boss!” said Cosmos.

“Lady boss?” Dave narrowed his eyes, confused.

“Boss J's fiancée,” said Cosmos. Ever since he saw Natasha's performance last time, he was utterly impressed. Moreover, he often thought about learning something more, but alas...

Even though he had added her on WhatsApp, he didn't dare to bother her without permission.

In the hacking industry, there were hierarchies. The weaker hackers looked up to the more powerful ones. Though Natasha wasn't famous, he could tell her hacking skills were godlike. Cosmos clearly understood the disparity between them and was self-aware of it. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Meanwhile, Dave was sizing him up. “You sound like you're used to calling her lady boss.”

“Actually, I rather call her 'The Great One',” said Cosmos.

Dave glanced at him without uttering a word.

“Anyway, I think the lady boss can solve these problems as well. Why don't we—”

“She's not available,” Dave said.

“Why?” asked Cosmos.

Dave didn't say much. He didn't mention anything about Natasha's health. He simply stated, “It doesn't matter whether she or him are in charge. They're the same!”

With a puzzled look, Cosmos asked, “Dave, are you joking?”

“Do I look like I'm joking?” Dave retorted, looking at him.

Cosmos stared at Dave. It didn't matter if Dave appeared to be joking. One thing was for certain to Cosmos, which was that Dave would never joke about work matters. Moreover, the dark web was related to the very survival of DX, something Dave would never easily entrust to others.

However, Cosmos still found it somewhat hard to comprehend. After all, the child before him was only a few years old.

Looking at Cosmos' puzzled gaze, Dave spoke. “Forget it. You should leave first.”

Even though Cosmos was somewhat puzzled, he still nodded, ready to head out.

“Wait a moment,” said Anthony.

Cosmos paused slightly. His gaze turned toward the boy.

At that moment, the child set down the black bag he was carrying on his back. He then took out a small black USB drive from inside. Turning around, his gaze fell on Dave and Cosmos.

“I happen to need some help around here, too, so let's keep him here.”

Dave's eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Anthony knew what Dave was worried about and smiled. “Don't worry, Mr. Dave, everything will be fine.”

Dave nodded slightly.

Cosmos, however, didn't understand what they were saying and was confused.

At that moment, Anthony handed the USB drive to Cosmos. “This contains the system I've redesigned for the dark web. It should be more suitable for you all's use. Help me install it later.”

With a bewildered expression, Cosmos looked at the object the boy handed over. Unwittingly, he reached out and took it, then couldn't help but ask, “Did you code this?”

“Yep!” Anthony nodded.

Cosmos turned his gaze toward Dave as if seeking confirmation of something.

At that moment, Dave spoke up. “He is J's son. In other words, he's Natasha's son and disciple. Therefore, he is quite formidable.”

That... actually makes a lot of sense. A realization dawned on Cosmos. “I see.”

As he spoke, his gaze toward Anthony immediately became much friendlier, “Very nice to meet you.”

Anthony understood that Dave said that merely to protect his identity from being exposed. After all, DX had been in a covert and overt struggle with the dark web for so many years. His appearance there, regardless of whose son he was, was somewhat inappropriate.

With that in mind, he gave Cosmos a slight smile. “I'll take care of the search in a bit. All you need to do is help me install this thing, okay?”

Cosmos immediately nodded. “No problem.”

“Since there's no issue, let's start immediately.” With that, Anthony placed the bag aside and walked toward the machine.

Cosmos held the USB stick, standing at the side and watching. Anthony walked over to the main computer, pulled out a chair, and sat down directly. After sitting, he paused for a few seconds, then he began.

His fingers then started dancing on the keyboard.
