The next day, Anthony and Benjamin woke up early in the morning.
Since Kenneth was here, and he knew that they were here as well, they would be able to find him as long as they tried hard enough.
When they reached the door, they found Thalia already waiting for them there.
Anthony was rather surprised to see her.
“Good morning!” Thalia looked at them and casually waved a finger in their direction.
Anthony stepped forward. “Why are you so early too?”
“If I'm not early, how else can I block your way?”
Anthony narrowed his eyes at her. “We're just going for a walk. Nothing can go wrong.”
Thalia looked at him. “Early this morning, I received news that someone injured Boss yesterday.”
Hearing this, Anthony instantly raised his head to look at her. “Who was it?”
Seeing the worry in his eyes, Thalia knew what he was thinking about. She said, “I don't know who it was, but it wasn't Kenneth!”
“Who did it, then?”
Thalia shook her head. “I don't know.”
“Then how do you know that it wasn't Daddy?”
“That man died yesterday!”
Anthony's countenance suddenly changed. “So, what happened?”
“It was said that, when Boss was injured, there was a woman with him, eating calmly. If that man was your daddy, would the woman be so calm? Boss has suffered at your daddy's hands before. If the deceased was really your daddy, he would have already announced the news,” Thalia analyzed.
Hearing this, Anthony became thoughtful.
Benjamin looked at Thalia and asked, “How did you know all this?”
“One of the men who attacked Boss escaped alive, and he spoke about it.”
Anthony still looked worried. After a long time, he turned to Thalia. “Was he the one on the list?”
Thalia returned his gaze. “We still do not know yet. No one has turned up to ask you for the reward.”
Anthony looked tense.
“Don't think too much. Birds die for food, and humans die for money. If that is so, this is their choice. It has nothing to do with you.”
“Really?”
If it was not for his post and the huge reward he offered, those men would not have done that.
Thalia rested her eyes on him. “Anthony, people who enter this line of business have long put their life and death aside, and you should also be clear that things like this will abound in the future. If you blame yourself for everything, then how are you going to grow in the future? Just the condemnation of guilt will drive you crazy. This goes to show that this profession does not suit you!”
Anthony lifted his head and looked at Thalia.
“And one more thing: there's no reduction in number because of their deaths. The uninhabited zone is no longer uninhabited now,” Thalia continued, enunciating every single word clearly.
Anthony looked outside.
Indeed, many more different faces had appeared on the streets. Each one told a different story and had different hopes.
“Can you see them? If they were afraid, they would not have come. This is a choice!” Thalia said.
“But—”
