Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 661

Naturally, Anthony knew what Kyle was planning, and he immediately declined, “It's okay. Just let me know when you have news of her.”

“But isn't it easier to talk about it face to face?” asked Kyle.

“You're too far from my place. I'm afraid you'll be exhausted by traveling all the way here. Besides, I'm just worried something might happen to Thalia. Still, no one is a match for her skills even if she's injured, so you really don't have to go through so much trouble.”

“It's no big deal. In fact, it's only right for me to do this for members of Darknetz. Just tell me where you are. I promise to arrive there as soon as possible.”

“You're managing hundreds of people in Darknetz. I can't possibly make you travel back and forth for the two of us. Just stay put in Darknetz. They need you there.”

“You two are my most capable members. It's only logical that I regard you two with great importance. If not, what will the members of Darknetz think of me? Don't feel burdened and just tell me where you are.”

“No, no. The members will have problems with it if you travel back and forth for both of us. You're the manager. You can't just leave whenever you want. That's breaking the rules. What if the members do the same in the future?”

“Don't worry. I'll take care of this well.”

“I can't trouble you because of my private matters. I believe Thalia thinks the same, too. Don't worry. I'll do as I see fit.”

Kyle was rendered speechless.

They argued several rounds, but Anthony was determined not to let him come.

Unable to hold in his temper, Kyle fumed, “At the end of the day, you just don't have the guts to meet me, Anonymous. Are you going to hide behind the computer for the rest of your life? Do you have something to hide?”

“And you just want to see me, don't you? Why are you so interested in me?” Anthony countered, using the same tone instead of getting mad.

“Exactly. I'm curious. I want to know what kind of person you are. Tell you what. No matter what you say, I'll definitely find you one day. You can't run from me.”

Kyle's curiosity was at its peak, yet Anthony would not meet him. Even Thalia would not say a word. He had every reason to suspect Anthony.

“You won't be able to find me if I actually go into hiding,” said Anthony confidently.

“Haha! There's a limit to bragging, you know? I don't believe a single word you say,” Kyle said.

“Oh? Should we give it a go, then?”

“Fine. Let's do it.”

“Do you want to make a bet?”

“Sure. What do you want to bet on?” asked Kyle, taking the bait.

“I won't take advantage of you. Let's make a simple bet. Whoever loses has to accept one request from the other person.”

“That's not a simple one.”

In reality, the simplest things were always the hardest.

“What now? Are you chickening out?”

“Chickening out? Hah! Remember. This was your suggestion. You'll have to lick my boots if you lose.”

“Okay. That's a deal, then.”

“Deal.”

Just as Anthony was about to hang up, a thought occurred to him. “Wait. We've got to put a deadline to this deal, right?” he asked.

“Fine. How long, then?”

“You should decide. After all, you're the one who's on the losing end.”

“Okay. One month it is.”

“Will that be too short?”

“It's enough.”

“I'm a little worried about the time frame. What about two months? I'll give you an extra month.”
