Chapter 860 The Dead
Sometimes, one couldn't help but admire the young girl's way of thinking.
A casual remark could sometimes reveal the truth.
Anthony nodded in agreement. “Makes sense.” Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
At that moment, Denise said, “Anyway, we already know this person's name and where he's from. Now, the most important thing is to see if we can find any of his weaknesses. If we can, that would be great. If not, we'll have to wait and see what news Thalia brings back.”
Listening to Denise's words, Miguel nodded. “That's right.”
Anthony averted his gaze and continued to look at the laptop. To achieve victory in every battle, one must know both themselves and the enemy.
Miguel watched while Anthony was searching. Meanwhile, Denise and Benjamin started eating again.
Time passed by, and soon, it was already one o'clock. Denise was dozing off on the table, feeling tired. Just then, there was a sudden commotion outside.
The door was pushed open, and Denise jolted awake.
Seeing the person at the door, Denise immediately perked up. “Thalia, you're back?”
Thalia looked at them and asked, “Why? Haven't you all slept yet?”
Denise immediately walked over to her and held her hands. “How could we sleep when you're not back yet!” She then looked at Thalia and asked, “How are you? You're not injured, right?”
Thalia laughed. “Of course not.”
At that moment, Anthony looked at her and asked, “So, did you find any useful information?”
Thalia walked over to the table and saw a cup of coffee. “Whose is this?”
“I prepared it for you,” Denise immediately said.
Thalia didn't try to be courteous. She opened the drink and took a sip right away. After sitting down, she looked at them and said, “As you expected, Magus did indeed meet with that person today.”
“So, what happened next?”
“That person must have sought out Magus for some task. The distance was too great for me to hear their conversation clearly. However, based on my guess, that person must have taken on a business deal and now needs someone to join him, which is why he went looking for Magus.”
After learning about the situation, Miguel couldn't contain his curiosity and blurted out, “Where does this guy get his confidence from? Isn't he afraid that Magus will kill him?”
Thalia heard this and said, “Shamelessness makes one invincible, but I think he must have something up his sleeve. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to approach so boldly.”
Listening to Thalia's words, Anthony nodded. “Your analysis should be correct.”
“Seriously, if it wasn't for that person having some sort of leverage, I would have gone straight over there tonight and killed him,” Thalia said.
Anthony listened, his pair of black eyes seemingly planning something.
“So, what do we do next?” Thalia asked.
“I haven't decided yet,” Anthony said.
“Did you really tell Magus that we're leaving tomorrow afternoon, or were you just kidding?” Thalia asked.
“Of course, it's true!”
“Then, how about that person?” Thalia asked.
Anthony looked at her. “Shouldn't I be asking you that? It depends on what you want to do.”
Upon hearing this, Thalia's eyebrows slightly raised. “So, you mean I can do whatever I want with him?”
“Of course!”
“Why didn't you say so earlier? I could have taken care of him tonight,” Thalia said.
“But if you take action, it won't be as satisfying as letting Magus do it,” Anthony reminded.
“What do you mean?”
“It's exactly as you understand it.” Anthony nodded in agreement.
Thalia thought of Magus' words. He had said that there would be no satisfaction if he didn't do it himself.
Indeed, it would be better for him to make a move.
“What about the thing he has in his hands?” Thalia asked.
“If he is dead, what can possibly be leaked? And even if there is something, don't you still have me?” Anthony said.
Upon hearing this, Thalia immediately gained complete confidence. “You're right. That makes sense. In that case, I'll go tomorrow morning and directly kidnap the person for Magus!” The more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. She added, “That's the plan, then.”
“Even though Lindon grew up on the streets, there's a ten-year gap in his records that none of us know what happened during that time. So, when you take action, be cautious,” Anthony said.
“Lindon?” Thalia frowned.
“It's him,” Anthony said.
After hearing this, Thalia nodded and asked, “How did you know his name?”
At that moment, Denise, who was standing nearby, spoke up. “Before you came back, Tony had already found out that person's identity and information.”
Upon hearing this, Thalia nodded. “I see.” Then, as if recalling something, she looked at Anthony and added, “What exactly is your plan? You haven't said anything. Aren't you afraid I'll ruin it?”
However, Anthony said with a smile, “The plan is to have no plan. Just follow our hearts. No matter how the process goes, the outcome won't change.”
“No. Why do you mean by that?”
Anthony closed the laptop immediately, then let out a yawn. “All right, it's getting late. Since you're back, I'll go to my room and rest. Be careful tomorrow.” With that said, he picked up the laptop and headed straight to his room.
Seeing that everyone had left the room, Miguel wondered why he was still there. He hadn't slept at all last night and was extremely tired at this time. With a smile, he said to Thalia, “Good night.” Then, he, too, headed toward his room.
“Good night.” Seeing the situation, Benjamin went straight back as well.
At this time, only Thalia and Denise were left in the living room.
Watching them leave one by one, Thalia's eyebrows furrowed. “What's happening? What's the deal with everyone leaving?”
“It's probably an acknowledgment of your abilities!”
After hearing this, Thalia nodded and said, “You're right. Let's see how I'll deal with him tomorrow.”
Denise immediately laughed after she heard that, then she said in a flattery tone, “You're so mighty and powerful!”
“Exactly!” Thalia exclaimed with a hint of pride. “Let's go. We should head back to our rooms and rest.”
“Okay!”
The two of them held hands and walked toward their room.
The next day, Thalia woke up very early.
As she looked at Denise, who was still asleep on the bed, she moved gently, got dressed, and checked her equipment.
Just like when doing tasks in the past, she was focused and diligent.
When she was about to head out, her phone suddenly rang.
Fearing that she might wake Denise, she immediately lowered her voice. However, when she glanced at her phone, it was an unknown number. After some thought, she still decided to answer
the call with a hushed tone.
“Hello.”
“Thalia, it's me!”
“Magus?” Thalia frowned.
“Lina. Did you guys take Lina away?” Magus asked.
Upon hearing this, Thalia felt that something was off. “No. Isn't Lina in the hospital?”
“Wasn't it you guys?”
“Of course not!”
“Lina has disappeared!”
Upon hearing this, Thalia's eyes widened instantly. “Where are you now?”
“I'm at the hospital.”
“Wait for me. I'll be right there!” After saying that, Thalia immediately put away her phone, picked up the handgun on the table, and prepared to head out.
At that moment, Denise suddenly raised her head from the bed. “Thalia, what's wrong? What happened?”
