Anthony laughed as he listened to Thalia's words. “I don't have any evil plans. I'm so innocent and adorable!”
Thalia was speechless.
Innocent and adorable? What nonsense!
These words do not fit him at all!
Mimicking his tone of voice, Thalia replied, “Don't you think you are mistaken about your own character?”
Anthony cast a glance at her. “Am I mistaken? Aren't I innocent and adorable?”
“Do you remember those cruel things you did to the netizens?” Thalia asked.
“Do you remember the hospital incident where you picked up a knife with the intention of attacking the man who hurt your mommy?”
“Um...”
“Have you forgotten the ambitious wishes you made?” Thalia asked.
Once more, Anthony was rendered speechless.
He blinked as he pondered over it for
some time.
At this moment, Thalia looked at him. “Do you still think you’re so innocent and adorable?”
Anthony took a deep breath. “I've gone overboard!”
“Well, it's not too late to recognize yourself for who you are!”
“Um... I only made one comment. Do you need to take revenge on me?”
Thalia smiled. “As you know, we, the users of the Darknetz, are vengeful people!”
At this moment, Anthony understood the truth of the statement—hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
Benjamin and Denise could not help giggling as they watched the two of them dickering.
Thalia looked at them. “What's so funny?”
“Tony has been bullying us all these years. Finally, he has met his match!” Denise replied.
Benjamin nodded. “Thalia, you're his nemesis!”
At this, Thalia raised her eyebrows. “Is “At the very least, I've never come across anyone who can out-talk him,” Denise said. “Thalia, you're the first.”
Hearing that, Thalia was immediately pleased, and she glanced at Anthony.
“Is that true?”
“Do you believe her words?”
“Yes, certainly!”
Anthony smiled. “Apparently, women tend to pay heed to what they like to hear and ignore the truth.”
“We call this selective perception,”
Thalia emphasized.
“Apparently, you know well about what kind of person you are. That's great.” Anthony nodded.
It was Thalia's turn to be speechless.
Indeed, Anthony was a sore loser!
In the end, he still made some harsh remarks as a way of retort.
They said I had won the argument... Was it not just a fluke shot?
With this thought on her mind, Thalia heaved a helpless sigh. “Apparently, I will not be needed to carry out tomorrow's mission. Therefore, I shall go back to rest. Goodnight.” As she spoke, she put on a tired look and turned around to leave.
Seeing this, Anthony stopped her. “Please don't mind me!”
“What now? Is there anything else?”
Anthony looked at her, took a deep breath, and smiled as he spoke. “You are a beautiful and smart woman, so I guess you won’t hold this against me and come at me with despicable means, right?”
The first part of his words was full of
“praise,” but he ended the sentence with a “threat.”
Thalia looked at Anthony, whose words carried an implied meaning. She was unsure if she should feel angry or otherwise.
“If you want to coax me, you should do it properly, no?” Thalia said.
Anthony thought for a moment. “I will double the benefits that you want!”
Thalia was startled. “Do you think that I’m going to give in just because of the benefits—”
“Five times, then!”
Thalia nearly choked. “I...”
“Forget about it if you are unwilling. If worse comes to worst, I’ll forsake this batch of goods. Anyway, it's not a great loss to me!” Anthony said.
