Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 846

The man nodded and smiled, bowing slightly. “We've done business together so many times, I can still put my trust in you for this!”

Anthony let out a soft chuckle before he took the photo from the man's hand.

As soon as Anthony took it, several people gathered around immediately.

The photo featured two individuals. However, the head of one person had been cropped out.

Anthony's brows furrowed when he noticed it. He asked, “What's this blank space?”

“Oh, that is Magus, and this is a photograph that they were in together from back then. After the incident happened last time, Magus went ahead and cut his head out of the photo. It probably means Magus didn't want to be in the same frame with the other person!”

“Have you seen this picture before?”

“Yes, I have!” The man answered as he nodded.

Anthony nodded in turn, then looked at the other person in the photo. The person was a foreigner with blond hair and stubble of the same color on his face. At first glance, he seemed like an easygoing person. However, the longer Anthony stared at his smile, the more it appeared to be somewhat overly ingenuine.

Unknowing whether it was due to the filter on the photo or not, Anthony felt that the person's eyes were filled with schemes.

Anthony raised his eyes to look at Thalia and asked, “Do you know this person?”

Thalia shook her head at his question.

“Is it possible for you to find him?”

“I can give it a try.”

“All right then.”

With that, Thalia took out her phone right away, snapped a photo of the picture, and then went to send some messages.

After Anthony finished observing the photo, he looked up at the man standing in front of him. A bold idea suddenly flashed through his mind just as he was about to say something else. He asked, “If I double the price, will you be able to find this person's address for me?”

Upon hearing this, the man could not help but laugh resignedly. “Sir, I would love to accept your request and earn from it as well, but I really don't know this person and have never even seen him before.”

“So, do you know where he's from?” Anthony asked another question.

“Well...” The man began to ponder, then muttered, “I remember Magus mentioning it to me before, but I didn't pay much attention at the time!”

“So, what you're saying is, you are not able to tell me where he is from?”

“I really want to earn this money from you, but... I really could not help you in this situation,” the man responded.

Since he is the type of person who is greedy, there's no way he wouldn't sell me this piece of information. Anthony still quite believed in that fact. Hence, he nodded after hesitating for a short while. “Okay, if you are unable to, then so be it.”

The man said, “If there is anything else you need other than this, feel free to find me!”

“Sure,” Anthony answered with a faint smile.

“Well, now that you've seen it, maybe you can...” Although the man was not asking for it specifically, what he meant was quite clear.

Anthony looked toward Thalia, who had stepped aside to make a phone call. After putting in some thought, he turned to the person and asked, “Do you accept a bank transfer?”

“It's best if we can deal in cash!” the man said.

“You're really being careful, aren't you!”

“A few years ago, one of our friends was scammed. It's not easy for us to run this business as well, so cash is definitely more reliable!” the man replied.

With a light chuckle, Anthony questioned, “How did your friend get scammed by others?”

“They said they had transferred the money already. And even though it was clearly shown that the money was already transferred to my friend, for some reason, the money just vanished the next day.” The man then added, “I still have no idea what happened that time until now.”

Upon hearing this, Anthony raised an eyebrow and uttered, “No wonder.”

“That's why, it's safer for us to use cash. In that way, we won't cause trouble for each other.”

“All right, just give me a moment. I'll give you the money once my people return.”

The man immediately responded, “No rush, no rush.”

Later on, Anthony did not pay any more attention to him. Instead, he focused on the computer in front of him and got busy.

The man looked at Anthony, asking, “Sir, may I take a look around?”
