“Of course, I looked for you to negotiate a deal,” the Anonymous imposter said. The voice coming out from the voice changer made people feel very uncomfortable.
“A deal? What is it?” Alpha Kilian asked.
Just then, the imposter threw something at Alpha Kilian . However, it was too dark, so Tony wasn't sure what it was. Also, he could hardly hear their conversation.
Tony could only stare in their direction as hard as he could, not letting go of any details.
Suddenly, Alpha Kilian said as he looked at the thing he was holding in his hand, “What if I don't agree?” “Do you think you have a choice here?” the imposter asked.
“Is this a threat?” Alpha Kilian asked. “No one has succeeded in threatening me up until now,” he said flatly. “Is that so?” the fake Anonymous asked.
Alpha Kilian said nothing more and threw the thing back to the imposter. “What you promised me last time didn't happen, so why should I agree to your deal?” With that, he turned to leave.
The whole time, Tony was watching them. Suddenly, he saw the imposter aiming at Alpha Kilian 's back with a gun when he felt something was odd.
Without hesitation, Tony dashed out. “Daddy, be careful!” He rushed over, wanting to shield Alpha Kilian .
Bang!
A loud gunshot echoed in the air. Just when Tony thought they were going to die, Alpha Kilian suddenly turned around and grabbed him. Together, they rolled over and landed safely elsewhere.
Tony then looked at him and said, “Daddy, don't trust him. He's a fake.” To that, Alpha Kilian narrowed his eyes.
Enraged, Tony glared at the imposter. “Who are you? Why are you pretending to be me?” “You? Where did you come from, kid?” the fake Anonymous asked.
Looking into his eyes, Tony asked bravely, “You don't even know me, and you dare to impersonate me?”
“I did?” The man asked, followed by a mocking smile.
With his eyes fixated on the imposter, Tony said, “You know it yourself if you are impersonating me. What is your motive?”
“Stop your nonsense. Otherwise, I'll put a bullet straight through your head,” the man said.
“Let me ask you something. Since you are Anonymous, do you know who Shadow Seeker is?” Tony asked.
The imposter froze. Albeit unable to see his expression, Tony could feel he was thrown off guard under his mask.
“Another question. What does Darknetz's core network rely on?” he asked again. The imposter said nothing in response.
“Answer me. Didn't you say you are Anonymous? You should know all these if you were him.” Tony articulated each word clearly.
Seconds later, the man finally broke his silence. “These are secrets. Do you think I'll let you know just like that?” he said.
“Haha!” Tony chuckled after listening to his response. “That's clever. All right then, since you can't
disclose this information, let me ask you something simple. How many core members are there in Darknetz? I'm sure you can at least disclose this,” Tony said.
Once again, the imposter looked at him in silence.
“Why are you keeping quiet?” Tony asked. “Did you forget how to speak, or do you have no idea?” The man remained mute.
“Fine, let me tell you. Darknetz has countless members. However, there are only five core members, with me, Anonymous, being one of them,” Tony enunciated.
The fake Anonymous continued to stay quiet. Just then, Tony looked at him. “How dare you pretend to be me to deceive my daddy? You must have a death wish!”
“Kid, you're insolent. Aren't you afraid I'll kill you this instant?” the man said threateningly while looking at Tony .
“Go ahead,” the boy responded while staring at him fearlessly. The imposter remained silent as he looked at Tony .
The two stood still for a long while.
“Aren't you curious who I am?” the fake Anonymous asked.
“There's no need to rush. I'll know once you're dead,” Tony responded. “Alpha Kilian , your son is fearless!” the imposter suddenly said with a smile.
Just then, Alpha Kilian stood up and said with a low voice, “Indeed. I didn't know my son was this impressive.”
Sensing something was odd, Tony turned around, “Daddy...” Alpha Kilian was looking at him with a conflicted look.
“Daddy, I'll explain to you later,” said Tony .
“What's more to explain? The truth is revealed.” As he spoke, the fake Anonymous took off his mask. “That should be enough. Shouldn't it, Alpha Kilian ?”
Tony turned to look at the imposter after the latter took off his mask. With furrowed brows, he exclaimed, “Alpha Dave?”
With lips curled into a smile, Dave looked at him. “Not bad. You're a brave one.” Tony was at a loss for words.
He turned to look at Alpha Kilian again but saw that the man was not saying a word while wearing a complicated expression.
At that moment, it dawned on Tony that this was a trap.
