Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 822

The man led them across a clean street walking to the back, bringing them to an abandoned two-story building.

“He's inside,” the man told them.

Thalia still had her guard up. “Lead the way. There are many rooms here, so we don't know exactly which room he is in!”

The man gave her an exasperated look and led them into the building.

“I lured him here, but we'll have to keep running into each other. It's not appropriate for me to take you to him,” the man clarified.

However, Thalia ignored him and observed the area warily. This man might be a scammer, so there was no telling what he would do.

She had to be careful as the kids were her responsibility.

Upstairs, the man came to a stop. “He's inside.”

Thalia glanced at the locked door and noticed there wasn't any window nearby. “Open the door,” she ordered.

“Here's the key,” the man said as he fished it out of his pocket.

Miguel was about to take it from him, but the man pulled his hand away and gave Thalia's backpack a pointed look.

Thalia took a deep breath and pulled out another stack of money from her backpack reluctantly. Before handing the money to the man, she said, “You're being paid to settle our problems. This is the road you chose, so you shouldn't be complaining.”

The man agreed, “Of course.”

He seemed polite, so Thalia allowed him to take the money. The man then handed the key to Miguel.

Without hesitation, Miguel unlocked the door.

Anthony hurried into the room.

The door was wide open, but the room was empty.

Miguel turned over his shoulder to report to Thalia, “There's no one inside.”

Hearing that, Thalia quickly stopped the man from leaving.

The man was surprised.

“How dare you lie to us?” Thalia narrowed her gaze dangerously.

The man quickly glanced at the room. “No way! I locked him inside personally!”

“Then where is he?” Thalia demanded.

“I'll go take a look!” The man hastily made his way to the room.

Right then, a figure emerged from behind the door, gripping a wooden chair in his hands. As soon as he revealed himself, he swung the chair and smashed it in the direction of the closest person.

By sheer luck, Anthony was standing right in the middle of the door.

Seeing that, the man yelled, “Be careful!”

All eyes turned toward Anthony. Miguel spotted the figure and quickly rushed to shield Anthony as he was standing right beside the latter.

Thump!

The chair landed on Miguel's body and crumbled into pieces upon impact.

The person was about to take the chance to escape when Miguel gave him a kick, and he crashed to the ground.

Thalia rushed over to join them.

Lying on the ground, the person glared at them and demanded, “Who are you? What do you want?”
