Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 399

At that moment, both Anthony and Benjamin looked at her simultaneously.

“What does that mean?” Anthony questioned.

Benjamin also kept his eyes trained on Thalia with puzzlement and anticipation.

Thalia pondered for a moment and slowly said, “I know someone from Vermillion Base. I can try and see if I can get some info.”

The two brothers were excited to hear that.

“You know someone there?”

“Kind of. I rescued him when I was on a mission a few years ago. He is very grateful to me and even insisted on getting my contact information. I can't say no, so I gave him my number... But I haven't been in contact with him for a long time, so I don't know if I can still reach him.” Thalia took out her phone and scrolled through her contacts.

Anthony and Benjamin watched expectantly.

After a while, Thalia narrowed her eyes at one of the contact numbers. “I found it.”

The two brothers stared at her quietly.

Thalia looked at the number. “It should be this one. I'll make a call first and see if I can get through!”

When Thalia was about to make the call, Anthony suddenly grabbed her hand.

“What's wrong?” Thalia asked.

Anthony stared at the woman, wondering what he should say.

Then, he asked, “Thalia, are you sure you want to be a part of this?”

Although they were members of the same organization, they had only known each other for a while. Thalia had already helped him a lot, but the situation this time was different. Their opponent was not just any typical bad guy, but a group of vicious villains.

If something happened, Thalia will definitely get into trouble, and even...

Thalia's lips curved to form a smile. “What do you mean?”

“You have helped us a lot, but this time, our opponents are people from Vermillion Base. You know the stakes better than I do,” said Anthony.

“So you're saying that I'm only capable of defeating ordinary people and not the powerful ones?” Thalia asked.

“This isn't what I meant!”

“If it isn't, then shut up!”

“Thalia, I just want you to think clearly because I'm afraid that you will... regret it,” said Anthony.

“Regret? How would I know I'd regret it if I haven't even done it?”

“That's why I want you to think it through!” Anthony said.

“Then I'm done thinking!” said Thalia.

Anthony was speechless and confused.

“So, can I make the call now?” asked Thalia.

Anthony said, “You're too rash!”

“Anthony Watson, since when have you become such a coward?”

“I'm not a coward!”

“Of course you are!” said Thalia. She then suddenly thought of something and questioned, “What's wrong? Are you moved by my kindness and feel guilty for the way you treated me?”

Anthony was dumbstruck for a moment before a hint of embarrassment flashed across his immature face. “No. I just don't think it has anything to do with you, and I'm afraid that you'll get into trouble because of us...”

At that moment, Thalia saw a word written all over his face.

Duplicity.

She leaned over and stared at him. “Oh, really?”

“Of course!”

“Get into trouble? Ha, I eat trouble for breakfast since the day I met you, so you don't have to worry about that. Don't you think it's a little too late for you to be saying that?” she asked.

Anthony said, “You can't put it like that...”
