Chapter 1022 Issue Regarding Denise
After listening to Benjamin's account, Kyle nodded, indicating that he understood.
"My sister is not like us. She doesn't have such grand ambitions, and she has now found a career she loves," Benjamin said.
"What business?" asked Kyle.
"Filming."
Upon hearing that, Kyle furrowed his brows. "Why would she do something so strenuous?"
"Who knows, maybe it's just because she likes it," Benjamin stated succinctly.
Kyle's face was taut, as if somewhat reluctant. "Denise's face is pretty enough for that. It's just a pity, a waste of her own talent and ability."
"You believe she's talented and capable, but she doesn't see it in herself. She often says that my brother and I overshadow her talent. Hence, she feels her only option is to coast along."
Hearing that, Kyle couldn't help but laugh. "How high are her standards for herself? She should realize that what she has now is something many people can't catch up to."
"She's the type to either not do something at all, or do it to the best of her ability." At that moment, Anthony, who was standing by, suddenly spoke.
Even though he usually maintained the dignity of an elder brother in daily life, when it came to his sister, he understood her well and pampered her greatly.
Upon hearing that, Kyle sighed helplessly. "Indeed, the thoughts of exceptional people are truly different from ours."
"I believe that what we consider good may not necessarily align with her views," Benjamin continued.
Kyle actually agreed quite readily, nodding his head. Then, as if struck by a thought, he asked, "Why didn't she come and tell me herself?"
He still remembered the last time he saw the young girl. She was quite pretty, had a high emotional quotient, and was very sensible. However, the circumstances were unusual last time. As such, he didn't get a chance to communicate with her properly.
Benjamin spoke up when he heard that. "She said she's afraid that seeing you all would make it too hard for her to leave."
Upon hearing that, Kyle felt his heart melting.
His handsome features instantly softened. "I knew since the last time I saw her. I just haven't had the chance to talk to her properly." "She doesn't care about this. She initially joined Darknetz just to tag along with Tony for some fun," said Benjamin.
Upon hearing that, Kyle narrowed his eyes. "Darknetz is quite a big deal, yet you make it sound like it's as kiddish as playing house." "Seriously though, that was exactly my mindset at the time, too. Before this, I also had thoughts similar to Denise," Benjamin said.
"What about now?"
"I'm undecided at the moment."
"Undecided, my *ass. I'm telling you. I will definitely carve a place for you, so you absolutely cannot back out," Kyle enunciated.
"What I'm saying is, that was before. Now, I don't have that thought for now!"
"No 'for now.' It has to be permanent!" Kyle affirmed as he looked at Benjamin.
"Well, it depends on what resources and opportunities you can provide him. If you can't, don't blame him for leaving," Anthony chimed in from the side.
Seeing the situation, Kyle immediately spoke up. "Benjamin, this matter came about quite unexpectedly. I still haven't fully processed it. Give me some time. I promise to give you the most satisfying answer." "Sure." Anthony nodded from the side.
"I didn't ask you," Kyle retorted at Anthony, then turned his head to look at Benjamin. His gaze was direct as if he was waiting for Benjamin's answer.
Benjamin glanced at Anthony, then looked at Kyle, nodding with a smile. "Sure."
Benjamin's answer was the same as Anthony.
Kyle was at least reassured that Benjamin answered by himself.
"Words should carry weight. We can't just talk like children playing house," Kyle said.
"We are just kids," Benjamin remarked.
"Cut the act. Where can you find kids like you two? One's a top-tier hacker, the other's a master mechanic."
Anthony and Benjamin exchanged a glance, but said nothing.
"I really do need to arrange this matter properly..." Kyle murmured to himself.
Looking at him, Benjamin began to speak. "What about my sister then..."
Upon hearing that, Kyle snapped back to the topic. After pondering for a moment, he said, "My suggestion is, she can stay on without quitting. This way, she can come back whenever she wants, and Darknetz will always be her strongest support."
"She has me and Benjamin," Anthony suddenly interjected, his gaze fixed on Kyle, "So, she doesn't need Darknetz."
Kyle turned to Anthony and saw there was a glint of brilliance in the latter's eyes. "Why is it suddenly not necessary? How can a girl navigate through society without having any support?"
"In a place like Glenport City, the Hamilton family is unparalleled. No one would dare to provoke them."
"You're talking about ordinary people, but what about the two of you? What if someone deliberately seeks revenge on her because of you?" Kyle asked.
Upon hearing that, Anthony frowned.
Seeing the boy fall silent, Kyle immediately said, "With Darknetz as her support, it will be easier to handle whatever comes her way."
Anthony leaned in slightly, looking at him, "Don't worry, I won't give anyone the chance to find out about our relationship. They won't be able to seek revenge on her. I'll handle everything." Kyle knew that Anthony had that ability, but he still knitted his eyebrows.
"I know you're worried that Denise may join another faction. However, have you ever considered this? Benjamin and I are here. Do you really think she will turn against us? So, this issue doesn't exist." Hearing that, Kyle immediately clarified, "I wasn't thinking about that."
"You should know it in your heart whether that's true or not," Anthony stated confidently.
Kyle pursed his lips, staring at the boy. "If she has no intention of joining anywhere else, does it really matter whether she quit or not?"
Upon hearing that, Anthony suddenly became serious, his dark eyes slightly focused. "If one of us three is destined to be pure, then I hope it's her."
Being completely detached from that kind of life, as Kyle said, was also a form of protection for Denise.
Upon hearing that, Kyle fell silent immediately.
Benjamin's eyes sparkled with a hint of brightness as he listened.
Even though Anthony often seemed to be "bullying" his siblings, when it came down to the wire, he always did his best as the older brother.
Anthony's words, indeed, struck a chord with Benjamin.
Turning to Kyle, Benjamin nodded. "Yes, I hope her future life is clean and uninvolved in these matters."
In their line of work, no matter what they become, their hope was always to provide better protection for those around them.
Kyle understood that feeling. After a moment of thought, he nodded, "All right, I get it. I'll take care of this matter."
Anthony leaned forward. "Also, I heard from Thalia that there are conditions to quitting. That won't do." Anthony shook his head firmly as he looked at Kyle.
