Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 1089

After a moment of contemplation, Anthony said, “All right, I agree to your request.”

“Aren't you going to ask me how much I want?” the young man asked.

With a light chuckle, Anthony walked over. He pulled out a chair and sat right in front of him. “No matter the amount, it's just a figure to me.”

Thalia was rendered speechless.

Looking at him at that moment, she somewhat felt that he had been possessed by Kenneth.

I know your family is wealthy. But is there really a need to show off like this?

She glanced at him before shifting her gaze to the young man across from her and said, “Why are you spacing about? He's not joking with you. He has plenty of the item you want.”

The young man studied Anthony, realizing once more that he shouldn't judge a book by its cover.

“Stop dragging your feet. Are you going to speak up or not?” Thalia's patience was already wearing thin by that point.

The young man gradually snapped back his senses. He glanced at Thalia. “Didn't I say I would talk?” As he spoke, he glanced at the gun pressed against him. “Could you take it away? It's scaring me.”

Thalia threw a look at him. Without saying anything, she promptly put her gun away.

Upon seeing that, the young man finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“The situation is such. About the matter you asked about, I indeed have some recollection...” the young man began slowly with his eyes on them. But upon seeing them listen attentively, he unexpectedly shot up and dashed toward the door.

However, just as he had jumped to his feet and was about to run, Thalia seemed to have anticipated it. With a swift stretch of her leg, he tripped and went facedown.

A loud thud rang out as the young man fell heavily onto the ground.

At that, a sneer crept onto Thalia's face. She then walked over and stomped a leg right onto his back. “Punk, I have played that trick of yours from young.”

The young man lay sprawled on the ground, remaining motionless for a long time.

Right then, Thalia looked up and glanced at Anthony. “What's the plan now? Do we beat him into confessing or kill him outright?”

Anthony narrowed his eyes. Then, he walked toward the young man and crouched down before him. “Actually, whether you talk is no longer important to us. If we can't learn the truth, you are the truth. The contents of your computer can serve as evidence. Since you want to be a scapegoat for someone else, I'll oblige!”

While saying that, he cast a look at Thalia. “Just kill him. I've already backed up everything on the computer. We'll have something to report back.”

Hearing that, Thalia nodded. “Okay.”

“I'll wait for you outside.” With that, Anthony turned around and headed out.

Admittedly, as the young man lay on the ground, Anthony's final utterance moved him deeply.

I simply did a task for someone else and didn't think much about the consequences!

With that thought in mind, he immediately called out at Anthony's retreating figure. “Wait! Wait a moment!”

Anthony halted in his tracks, turning back to look at him.

“I'm talk, I'll talk!” the man exclaimed repeatedly.

Anthony chuckled softly. “No, it's okay. I don't have the patience for this anymore. Besides, I won't be able to tell whether you're speaking the truth. So, you might as well play the scapegoat!”

“No, no, no!” The young man hastily shook his head, a mix of Chanaean and Ustranian streaming out of his mouth. “No, that's not it! I will speak the truth! I'm serious! Please believe me!”

“No, it's okay.”

“Y-You're here for someone named Kenneth Hamilton, aren't you?” the young promptly cried out, his eyes locked on Anthony's back.

At the mention of Kenneth's name, Anthony's heart skipped a beat.

“I can tell you the truth. I'll tell you everything!” the young man said, his eyes still on Anthony's back.
