Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 378

The boys stared at Thalia unmovingly as worry colored their expressions.

She turned back to them and urged, “Go! Now!”

Anthony seemed grim as he ordered, “Be careful.”

“Don't worry.” The edges of her mouth curved upward. As she stared at the approaching car, her smile became more profound.

“Do you have an extra gun?” Benjamin suddenly asked.

That gave Thalia pause before she pulled one out. “I do.”

“Give it to me. If there's any problem, I'll be able to support you when needed.”

She didn’t hesitate and handed the gun to him. “I don't need support. You just need to protect yourselves.”

No explanation was given by him as he grabbed the gun and played with it. He also checked the number of bullets inside as though he was intimately familiar with the weapon.

Seeing how familiar he was with the weapon caused Thalia to frown. She wanted to ask a question, but since the car was approaching, she reminded, “Be careful. Don't accidentally shoot yourself.”

The boy nodded.

“Go.” She gestured.

The boys promptly entered the forest.

Her tense expression only vanished after she saw the boys disappear into the treeline.

Turning back, she saw the car had stopped a dozen meters away from her.

When the doors opened, three people exited the vehicle.

They walked straight to her when they saw her, and she met them halfway.

Surprise flashed past their eyes when they saw Thalia's facial features.

“You're the one who contacted us?”

“That's me.” Her plain voice sounded emotionless.

The trio examined the surrounding before the leader spoke. “You're the only one here?”

Quirking one side of her lips up,

Thalia replied, “I alone am more than necessary.”

That person's gaze was fixed on her. While she appeared beautiful, there was a sharpness in her eyes. He could tell she was someone who often wandered at the edges of darkness and someone who he shouldn't underestimate if she got serious.

“Okay, let us see the goods,” he said.

Thalia's gaze swept past them before she turned and ambled toward the warehouse.

The trio followed behind her as they maintained a safe distance from her. After the warehouse door was opened, she went to a spot and pulled down the cover, revealing four giant crates hiding under it.

The leader of the trio gestured for one of his men to check the crates.

The subordinate approached the crates and opened one of them. When he saw the items inside, surprise flashed across his eyes. He swiftly turned around and nodded at his superior.

Thalia simply stood at the side, watching silently.

It was then the leader asked, “The goods are fine. However, can I ask where you got these?”

“There are rules in this business, and one of them is not asking where the goods come from,” she replied.

The man nodded thoughtfully.

“Where's the money?”

He didn't appear to be in a hurry as he stared at her. “Our boss wants to see you.”

Her eyes narrowed when she heard that. It seems like things aren't going to end smoothly.
