Chapter 845 Helping The Unborn Child
Chapter 845 Helping The Unborn Child
Glancing at the number, Anthony's eyebrows raised slightly. “Here it is.”
While he spoke, he swiped down on the screen with his finger and then tapped to turn on the speaker.
“Hello.”
“It's me, Sir.”
“What's wrong?” Anthony asked. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
“What do you mean? Didn't you say you were looking for that person? I found them!” the person on the other end of the line said.
“So soon?”
“Of course, I know you're in a hurry. I went to great lengths to sneak this out of Magus' house,” the other party replied in a tone full of flattery.
Anthony chuckled lightly and said, “You stole it? Aren't you afraid that Magus will find out and come after you?”
“This person has a deep hatred for Magus, so he won't do anything to me because of this. Besides, even if he does get angry, I'll secretly put it back after you guys take a look at the photo. If you and I don't say anything, how would he ever know?”
“It seems that you've thought this through very thoroughly!”
“Of course, I carefully consider every business deal before I proceed,” the other party said.
Anthony pursed his lips and remained silent.
“Would you prefer if I bring the photos to you, or would you prefer to pick them up?”
Anthony thought for a moment and said, “Bring it over.”
“Alright, should I head over there now?”
“If you don't mind it coming over at such a late hour, then sure.”
“Of course not. There's nothing too early or too late in business.”
“Then I'll be waiting!”
“Okay.”
And so, the phone call ended.
At that moment, Denise narrowed her eyes. After a while of remaining silent, she said faintly, “This person is pretty good.”
Upon hearing this, Anthony couldn't help but let out a cold laugh. “Indeed, his ruthlessness is hidden in plain sight.”
Thalia glanced up at him and asked, “You're not thinking of taking him in, are you?”
Anthony was a bit stunned. “Do I look that casual to you?”
Thalia nodded.
Anthony said, “I have conditions for accepting people, okay? This person is too focused on personal gain. You could say they side with whoever offers more money. I wouldn't dare to accept someone like that!”
“Oh, you know even that?” Thalia asked.
Anthony gave her a slight smile. “Of course. So, don't use your narrow-minded perspective to judge me!”
Thalia scoffed at him.
Anthony smirked slightly and remained silent.
At that moment, while continuing to draw, Benjamin asked without lifting his head, “So, Tony, is your next plan to help Magus kill that person?”
“I'm still thinking about the plan, but the conclusion is correct!” Anthony said.
Benjamin sighed helplessly.
“What's wrong, Ben?” Denise asked.
Benjamin looked up at them and said, “I just feel that, given Tony's personality, we will have to deal with way too many things!”
“That's how Tony is!” Denise said.
After listening to their complaints, Anthony's dark eyes narrowed slightly. “Actually, I'm not helping Magus, but rather the unborn child...”
As he spoke, he turned toward them. “That child was supposed to have a chance to see this world, but they were deprived of that right!”
Both Denise and Benjamin fell silent.
As children themselves, they truly understood the beauty of this world.
Although, at first, their only family was Natasha, she never allowed them to feel a lack of love. Even by herself, she made them aware of the beauty and good and evil in this world.
Hence, Denise and Benjamin could understand completely.
After pondering for a moment, Denise spoke up, “Tony, I understand what you're thinking. If that's the case, I support you.”
Anthony looked at Benjamin.
“If that's the reason, there's nothing more I have to say!” Benjamin agreed.
Although they teased him, they still supported Anthony's actions.
“Are you just agreeing with me verbally?” Anthony asked.
“What were you expecting?” Denise and Benjamin threw the question back at him.
“What about your actions?” Anthony asked.
“What can we do?”
Anthony thought for a moment and said, “I'll let you know later!”
Denise and Benjamin exchanged glances, but neither of them spoke.
They knew that since Anthony had said all that, he must have had a plan in mind. Although they didn't know what it was, they were certain it was something he wasn't good at handling.
Fine. We'll contribute as much as we can.
The two of them didn't say much.
Soon, Anthony's phone rang again. After seeing the caller ID, he answered the call.
“Hello.”
“Sir, I have arrived!”
Anthony looked outside and then said, “I got it!”
After hanging up the phone, Anthony was about to get up when Miguel piped up, “Master, let me go!”
Miguel stood up and walked straight toward the door before Anthony could even straighten his legs.
Upon opening the door, the man stood at the entrance, still dressed in his tattered clothes, as if it had become his signature look.
Afterward, he followed Miguel inside.
As soon as the man entered, he looked around, examining the surroundings. It wasn't until he approached Anthony that he heard a feigned cough. Only then did he retract their gaze and chuckle at Anthony.
Anthony sat there, exuding the languid air of a boss. “Do you like what you see?”
Upon hearing this, the person nodded and said, “I've only seen this place from the outside. It's truly beautiful in here!”
Anthony smiled. “Really?”
The man nodded vigorously.
“I have something I'm quite curious about!” Anthony said.
“Please, go ahead!” The man nodded and bowed, displaying a fawning demeanor.
“I didn't give you my address. How did you know I live here?” Anthony rested his chin on his hand, looking at him with a curious expression as he asked.
Upon hearing the question, the man suddenly paused for a moment.
At that moment, everyone at the table suddenly understood.
That's right. Why didn't we think of that?
Anthony sat there, resting his chin on his hand, smiling innocently like he wouldn't hurt a fly. Yet, somehow, his appearance still managed to give off an inexplicably spine-chilling vibe.
The person hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, “To be honest, after you went to the market that day, I followed you all the way here.”
“Why?”
“I needed to see if you have the capability. Otherwise, if I help you get things done, and you end up having no money to pay me, wouldn't my efforts be wasted?” replied the person.
Anthony let out a soft chuckle.
At that moment, Thalia, who was standing nearby, chimed in, “You sure are quite cunning!”
“Shouldn't someone be cautious when handling business?” the person said with a wry smile.
“I must say, I underestimated you!”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
“Okay, stop joking around with me. I'm not falling for that!”
“Then I—”
“Where's the photo?” At this moment, Anthony looked at him and asked directly.
The man immediately lowered his gaze and took out a photo, handing it over with both hands.
Seeing his actions, Anthony squinted and asked, “So this time, we're not doing a cash-on-delivery deal?”
