Timothy didn't know how to respond to Sage's text. "How should I reply to him?"

Caleb stroked his jaw. "He has a point. Why are you so secretive about it? Other than me, no outsiders know about it. Mrs. Barrett Senior is the only one in your family that is aware of it. She took care of the trouble for you after all."

He bet Mia didn't know of it either.

Timothy replied, "Because that was our promise. It was a huge matter back then. Many people of high status joined our side. Everyone hid their identity in case the enemy might find out about it and cause trouble. It's for the sake of everyone's safety."

Besides that, not all of the members had high status.

Some were just ordinary citizens. If the terrorists found out about their real identity, they would be exposed to danger.

Since Timothy rounded them up to deal with the terrorists, he took the responsibility to protect them.

Caleb nodded. "But I think the terrorists knew who you were. I was so worried that they would take revenge on you. In the end, nothing happened. Were they afraid of you or the trouble they might face?" "Beats me. Neither of these are important. How should I reply to Sage now?"

"Say the same thing you said to me."

Timothy sent another voice message.

His mind wandered as he stared at the voice messages. He had never expected himself to get closer with his child through this matter.

Looking at the chat, he added, "It's been many years. I rarely bring this up because I want to protect those people who have helped out. I don't want their life to be affected because of this issue. After all, most of the terrorists came from powerful families. They surely still held grudges on it."

That was why he didn't want to bring it up.

After hearing Timothy's explanation, Sage understood why Nathan didn't mention the issue either. Let alone his participation in the battle between hackers.

It seemed like Nathan had the same reason as well-to protect those unsung heroes.

Mixed feelings churned in Sage's stomach.

His impression of Timothy had

always been that he was an irresponsible man. Not a single second passed that he didn't hate Timothy.

Now, he finally learned that Timothy was the initiator of that war.

Someone who could do such a thing shouldn't be a bad guy.

Sage's jaw tensed as he wanted to test the water. "So, you don't know who the Duke is?"

Timothy answered, "I don't. We didn't ask each other that many questions. That was our promise."

Sage fell

"Are you a good guy or a bad guy?" Sage continued asking by texting.

Timothy was caught off-guard by that sudden question. "What does this mean?"

Caleb contemplated for a m

Timothy found it hilarious as he didn't expect things to escalate this way.

He replied, "I don't think I'm a good guy, but I believe humans must have a bottom line."

Hearing that, Sage was at a loss for words.

Timothy stared at his phone screen and asked dubiously, "He's gone?"
