426 Tantrum (1/2)

Anthony pretended to be a reserved and righteous young man as he rejected Cedrick's kindness in all seriousness. He said that he did not want to trouble Cedrick.

But in reality…

Motherf*cker! I won't give that *sshole what he wants! I won't contact him, nor will I tell him anything! Humph!

That was what Anthony really had in mind.

After a night of rest, Han Chu, who had gotten used to deceiving his own mates, figured what his buddy was proving when he had yet to hear anything from Anthony when he had almost recovered from his fever.

”Visit the prisoner with me.” Han Chu was feeling unsettled as he felt his forehead and decided he would not rest for another day. He hopped off the bed and began to take off his pajamas.

Ye Shuang blinked and crossed her arms, leaning on the wall while saying in mockery. ”Visit Tony? What are you going to say to him? Have fun staying behind bars‽”

”Tony must be throwing tantrum to not be contacting us,” Han Chu said, feeling all righteous as if he had never done anything wrong. ”Otherwise, if Tony was really eager, it would be impossible for Cedrick not to help him given that you've saved him once.”

”…” Ye Shuang was a little speechless at Han Chu's overbearingness. ”Don't you think you're a little naive to be thinking Anthony would calm down so soon and do as you say right after you tossed him in hell?”

”Why not?” Han Chu could not understand that. He frowned looking doubtful. ”Tony should've gotten used to it by now.”

That attitude!

That attitude alone was so f*cked up!

…

No matter how upset Anthony was for being deceived, all that he could do protest was merely not contact Han Chu.

Naturally, that did not affect anything at all. The reason being, Han Chu was not reflecting on himself like Anthony was expecting him. Meanwhile, no matter how irritated and mad Anthony was, he would have to do as they said since he was living under their roof.

”It's hopeless.” Anthony sighed, feeling dejected as he picked up the burnt chip that was melting with a tweezer. He said sadly and helplessly while holding his chin with his other hand, ”The substance is already damaged. It's impossible to retrieve the data now.”

Cedrick frowned in doubt. ”Isn't the term supposed to be unrecoverable?”

Anthony pouted. ”It's the same meaning.”

He rubbed his baby face on the table, ”I'm so sad.”

”I think you should be saying you're upset instead, Mr. Anthony,” the technician behind the duo in the room interrupted carefully. ”Do we go on?”

Apart from the technician, there were another two electronics experts in the room. All of them were Madam Grace's underlings from China. Due to the job there, all three of them were from China.

Since the decoding of the chip was confidential, it had been a one-man show for Anthony in decoding and retrieving. However, since he had deceived them, realizing Anthony was a sly fox, Madam Grace had brought in the three technicians. They would be working with Anthony to speed up the recovery, and secondly, they were there to watch Anthony. Although Madam Grace still had no idea how did Anthony managed to destroy the chip, maybe she was thinking, Nobody should have it since I don't have it.
