Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 445

Thalia remarked sarcastically, “I've never come across anyone who would force another person to take something he or she doesn't want.”

“It seems Darknetz is made up of a bunch of shallow-minded, ignorant people.” Dave glanced at the rear-view mirror. “Darknetz might not be the best for you. I think DX suits you better. I'll take you guys to the DX headquarters once we have settled everything.”

His suggestion rendered Anthony speechless.

“Hey! You—” Thalia was about to throw a fit.

“Come, have some food!” Benjamin interrupted and shoved a packet of snacks into her hand.

“I don't feel like eating!” Thalia expressed her dismay.

“You're gonna get hungry, though,” Benjamin whispered.

Thalia looked at the snacks. He's right.

“Fine. I'll just eat it since someone has already bought it.” She slowly opened the packet and munched on the snacks.

Dave gazed at her but remained silent and kept driving with one hand on the steering wheel. He looked more like a prince than someone involved in an underground organization.

“Mr. Dave, would you like some?” Anthony asked.

“No thanks. I'm not used to eating these snacks,” Dave replied.

Thalia rolled her eyes upon hearing that. “What a pretentious man,” she said before looking out the window.

Instead of arguing with her, Dave acted as if he did not hear what she said and continued driving.

Anthony and Benjamin heaved a sigh of relief when Dave and Thalia were no longer at each other's throats.

The two brothers were worried that the war of words would not end every time one of them uttered something.

They might look chill now, but the tension between Darknetz and DX was real.

After hitting the road for nearly forty minutes, they arrived at the borders of the uninhabited zone.

The so-called uninhabited zone was merely a common name the locals used to describe the area.

After stopping the car, Dave looked at them. “Should be somewhere around here!”

Anthony glanced at his wristwatch and noticed their location overlapped with the GPS coordinates. So the place should be around this area.

Yet, upon looking around for a while, they found nothing.

Suddenly, Anthony pointed at the road in front and asked, “How about that area, Mr. Dave?”

“That's the actual uninhabited zone!” Dave replied after following Anthony's line of sight.

“The actual uninhabited zone? What do you mean?” Anthony was confused.

“That's the battlefield!” Dave's answer was brief and concise.

“Battlefield?” Anthony knitted his brows.

“It was where the two parties had exchanged fire!” Thalia piped up sluggishly.

Anthony's eyes darted from side to side. “You mean now?”

“Yes, even now!”

“Do you think we can find Daddy there?” Anthony asked.

“People have deserted that land for a long time, and the place is covered in overgrown grasses and shrubs. You won't find anything there!” Thalia said.

Anthony could only picture how the land looked like as he had only seen it in films but not in real life.

Dave drove around the area but did not find Kenneth and his car.

“Mr. Dave, since Daddy came all the way here, does that mean the person set this place as their meeting venue?” Anthony asked.

“I suppose so.”

Anthony continued asking, “Do you think they have met?”

“Probably not.” Dave shook his head.
