Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 812

Thalia's gaze turned gloomy, but she kept mum and looked at Anthony.

As Thalia remained silent, Denise began to feel that something was off. “Come on, Thalia. Tell us!”

Thalia narrowed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said softly, “Because anyone who wishes to quit Darknetz will have to swallow a pill...”

“Poison?”

“Something similar,” Thalia said. “If one abides by Darknetz's rules, the antidote will be delivered on time. Or else...” She did not finish her sentence, but it was clear what she meant.

Upon hearing that, Denise knitted her brows. “That's so twisted. That demand is too unreasonable!”

“Rules are there for a reason, and this is just one of Darknetz's. If we start breaking rules, it will only lead to chaos within the organization. Don't you think so?” Thalia countered.

What she said was not wrong, but Denise had a different opinion. “I always believed that Darknetz was a humane organization. I never expected them to resort to such dirty tactics. What if Kyle is in our shoes? Would the same thing happen to him if he wants to leave the organization?”

“Darknetz was founded by a few people, so to ensure fairness, each of them added a unique ingredient to the medicine. Anyone can leave the organization, but they must obtain approval from everyone before coming up with the antidote. Otherwise, even Kyle himself will not be able to leave Darknetz unscathed,” Thalia explained.

Upon hearing that, Denise froze for a moment, somehow understanding what Thalia had implied. “So, does that mean Anthony could still have a chance if they agree to let him go?”

“I supposed you can say so.” Thalia nodded.

“So there's still hope!” Denise exclaimed. She tilted her head to look at Anthony, “Tony, we might be able to get their approval. We just need to talk to them nicely!”

Anthony glanced at her calmly and spoke in a deep voice. “Denise, this is not a child's play. Leaving the organization is not an easy matter. Besides, they would see me as a traitor, as it will undermine their benefits and safety. What makes you think they'll agree to my request so easily?”

“What should we do, then?” Denise asked.

Anthony lowered his eyes. “Leave it to me, don't worry. I'll figure something out.”

“But what good plans can you come up with?” Denise knew Anthony was merely saying that to console her. What else can we do under such circumstances? It's either we give up or die.

That being said, Thalia was aware that Anthony would not give up easily once he set his mind on something.

At that moment, Anthony lowered his eyes as if something had popped into his mind.

Thalia glanced at him. “Anthony, I think we still can make this work. Go and talk to Kyle nicely. We don't have to burn bridges with him.”

“I've never thought of burning bridges with him,” Anthony uttered.

“But you also didn't tell him about your thoughts. If Kyle knows you're doing it for your mom, I'm sure he can understand. We might not figure out a solution right away, but you can at least ease the tension with him,” Thalia said.

Denise nodded in agreement. “That's right. What Thalia said made sense.”

Benjamin, too, chimed in. “Tony, I know you have your own perspective on things, but I could tell Kyle is a decent guy, even though I've only met him for a short time. Maybe you should try talking to him.”

“What if Kyle finds out about Dad? The tension between us is just going to escalate!” Anthony voiced his concern.

“As long as we keep it a secret and don't mention it, it's unlikely he'll find out within a short period. However, if he does eventually find out, we'll have to deal with it then. What do you think about that?” Benjamin said while looking at Thalia.

Thalia bobbed her head in agreement. “Benjamin's suggestion is also a solution. We can handle it when he finds out about it. And when that happens, it will be treated as a separate matter. At least from their perspective, you didn't betray the organization.”
