Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 488

When Natasha was heading inside, one of the guards grumbled, “Why don't we just knock her out and snatch the money?”

“General Will specifically ordered us to keep tabs on her. What if something happens to her? Besides, Boss also asked us to take good care of her. We can't just defy him right after he leaves, right? Let's just wait and see.”

The other guard nodded. Casting a glance at Natasha's back, he said, “That wench's clothes look expensive. I bet she's rich.”

“So, let's extort money from her while we're the ones guarding her these two days! Just don't let anyone else know about this.”

“That's a great idea!”

They did not care to lower their voices as they discussed their extortion plan, and they were being so loud that even Natasha could hear them clearly from afar. Perhaps they did not care if she could hear them anyway.

Sure enough, Natasha could not care less about what they were talking about. Her lips merely quirked into half a smile. She was initially worried as she saw no way out of the situation. However, if all they were after were money, then she could bribe her way out of the situation.

Natasha regretted that she did not bring much cash on her.

She would have brought more if she had known she was going to be trapped in her current circumstances.

Natasha slowly walked inside and went behind the house. It was a dead end, and there was nowhere else she could run to. Hence, the two guards were not worried that she would run off.

After there was some distance between them, Natasha turned around and noticed that the guards were engaged in a conversation. She kept glancing over her shoulders, and when she noticed that they did not have any intention to catch up to her, Natasha heaved a sigh of relief.

Then, she removed the watch on her wrist, her ring, earrings, and finally, her bracelet.

Soon, a small computer was assembled with its screen projected on the wall.

Natasha's lips quirked into a smile as she looked at the virtual keyboard in front of her. Then, she quickly set things up.

Again, she transmitted her message to Anthony through Morse code.

Anthony, please tell Kenneth to watch out for Boss. Even though he is not on good terms with General Will, they have established some sort of agreement. Boss will target Kenneth for sure. Oh, and they need a lot of money here.

Unexpectedly, Anthony replied right away: Nat?

He had sent over a bunch of numbers, but Natasha could decipher them immediately as they were used to communicating that way.

She sent: You're there?

On the other end, Anthony was excited to have received news from Natasha and hurriedly replied: I've been waiting for your news.

I'm at Vermillion Base right now, so I can't keep sending you messages. You need to protect yourself and tell your daddy the things that I just told you.

The worry was evident in his next words: Okay, Nat. Are you hurt?

No, I'm going to be all right for the time being. Don't worry.

Anthony: Nat, when can we come get you?

Natasha: I think that I'll be able to find out the truth soon.

Anthony: Okay. Then we'll wait for you.

Natasha: Be careful! There were a thousand other words that she wanted to say, but in the end, she thought it best to ask them to be careful.

Anthony: Got it.

Right then, a man's voice rang out behind her. “Are you done?”

Glancing back for a moment, Natasha quickly sent off one last message: I'm going offline now!

Then, she disassembled the computer back into her watch, ring, earrings, and bracelet.

After she was done, she headed out of the house.

The two guards did not seem to have noticed anything odd, as their minds were preoccupied with the money that they were about to receive.

“Thank you,” Natasha said as she walked over to their side.

They did not pay heed to her thanks, merely rubbing their fingers and reaching out their hands in a self-explanatory gesture.

Natasha smiled and handed them the promised cash.
