Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 347

At the jetty, the man with the code name “Boss” was looking around his surroundings.

One of his men received a message and walked up to him. “They're almost here, Boss.”

Boss' gaze was darkened as he remained silent. He continued scanning his surroundings. His yellow-tinted eyes were filled with wariness as they darted around.

“What's wrong, Boss?” the same man asked.

“It's too quiet tonight.”

“Well, it’s bound to be quiet when it’s this late. Isn’t this what we wanted?” the man questioned.

Boss shook his head. “No. It’s not the same,” he said as he continued observing his surroundings. Maybe he was too anxious, but he couldn't shake off the feeling that something was about to happen.

“Boss, if you’re worried, shall I go to check it out?” the man offered.

Upon hearing the suggestion, Boss nodded. “Be quick and come back as soon as possible. If there's any sign of trouble, send a signal at once.”

“Understood.” With that, the man left.

Boss then turned to look at the remaining people on the jetty. “This is the last batch of goods. If we succeed, we will be able to get the money. If we don't, you know what's waiting for you. Not just me, even the general won't let you all off the hook.”

The group of men was all filled with confidence as they started to joke around. “It's already the last day and nothing's happened so far. We're definitely getting paid.” “That's right.” Boss remained silent as the group of men fooled around with each other.

As the cargo ship neared the dock, Boss' gaze turned darker by the second.

Just as the ship was about to arrive, a man walked up with a phone in his hand. “Boss, it's the general.”

Boss' eyebrows knitted themselves into a tight knot.

Realizing that he was reluctant to take it, the man advised him, “Boss, it's best to not make things so tense.”

Boss glanced at the man and took the phone over. “Keep an eye out. Call me if anything happens.”

“Yes, Boss.” the man nodded.

After taking over the phone, Boss turned and walked to the side to answer it.

From far away, Kenneth's eyes narrowed as he saw the scene unfold.

He then said into his earpiece, “I'll go and distract that man on the phone. Keep a close watch on the jetty. Once the ship reaches the dock, go and surround them. The others will go to transfer the goods away. Don't fight for too long. Get it done as fast as possible.” “Got it.”

On the other end of the line, Fabian said, “I'll go with you, Mr. Hamilton.”

“Stay and give out orders. I can go by myself.”

“But-”

“Don't worry. He won't be able to do anything to me,” Kenneth said.

“Be careful.”

A wicked smile appeared on his face as Kenneth walked away.

On the other hand, Anthony was still watching the jetty using his binoculars.

Thalia had already long gotten impatient. “The goods are about to reach the jetty soon. When are we moving out?” she asked.

There were still only the same few people on the jetty.

After thinking about it for a while, Anthony replied, “Let's wait a while more.”

“Wait? We still have to wait?” Thalia asked in exasperation. “What are we even waiting for? The ship is about to dock anytime soon. We'll be able to get the goods if we go and finish them off right now.”

Anthony turned to look at her. “Are you sure you can go against them alone? They're not just ordinary people,” he said with a quirked eyebrow.

Thalia glanced over in the direction of the jetty and replied, “They're just mercenaries.”

“How did you know?”

A cold smile appeared on Thalia's lips. “I've been in this line of work for so long. I've fought with hundreds and thousands of mercenaries. If I can't tell a mercenary from just one glance,
