Sometimes, one couldn't help but admire the young girl's way of thinking.
A casual remark could sometimes reveal the truth.
Anthony nodded in agreement. “Makes sense.”
At that moment, Denise said, “Anyway, we already know this person's name and where he's from. Now, the most important thing is to see if we can find any of his weaknesses. If we can, that would be great. If not, we'll have to wait and see what news Thalia brings back.”
Listening to Denise's words, Miguel nodded. “That's right.”
Anthony averted his gaze and continued to look at the laptop. To achieve victory in every battle, one must know both themselves and the enemy.
Miguel watched while Anthony was searching. Meanwhile, Denise and Benjamin started eating again.
Time passed by, and soon, it was already one o'clock. Denise was dozing off on the table, feeling tired. Just then, there was a sudden commotion outside.
The door was pushed open, and Denise jolted awake.
Seeing the person at the door, Denise immediately perked up. “Thalia, you're back?”
Thalia looked at them and asked, “Why? Haven't you all slept yet?”
Denise immediately walked over to her and held her hands. “How could we sleep when you're not back yet!” She then looked at Thalia and asked, “How are you? You're not injured, right?”
Thalia laughed. “Of course not.”
At that moment, Anthony looked at her and asked, “So, did you find any useful information?”
Thalia walked over to the table and saw a cup of coffee. “Whose is this?”
“I prepared it for you,” Denise immediately said.
Thalia didn't try to be courteous. She opened the drink and took a sip right away. After sitting down, she looked at them and said, “As you expected, Magus did indeed meet with that person today.”
“So, what happened next?”
“That person must have sought out Magus for some task. The distance was too great for me to hear their conversation clearly. However, based on my guess, that person must have taken on a business deal and now needs someone to join him, which is why he went looking for Magus.”
After learning about the situation, Miguel couldn't contain his curiosity and blurted out, “Where does this guy get his confidence from? Isn't he afraid that Magus will kill him?”
Thalia heard this and said, “Shamelessness makes one invincible, but I think he must have something up his sleeve. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to approach so boldly.”
Listening to Thalia's words, Anthony nodded. “Your analysis should be correct.”
“Seriously, if it wasn't for that person having some sort of leverage, I would have gone straight over there tonight and killed him,” Thalia said.
Anthony listened, his pair of black eyes seemingly planning something.
“So, what do we do next?” Thalia asked.
“I haven't decided yet,” Anthony said.
“Did you really tell Magus that we're leaving tomorrow afternoon, or were you just kidding?” Thalia asked.
“Of course, it's true!”
“Then, how about that person?” Thalia asked.
Anthony looked at her. “Shouldn't I be asking you that? It depends on what you want to do.”
Upon hearing this, Thalia's eyebrows slightly raised. “So, you mean I can do whatever I want with him?”
“Of course!”
“Why didn't you say so earlier? I could have taken care of him tonight,” Thalia said.
“But if you take action, it won't be as satisfying as letting Magus do it,” Anthony reminded.
“What do you mean?”
“It's exactly as you understand it.” Anthony nodded in agreement.
Thalia thought of Magus' words. He had said that there would be no satisfaction if he didn't do it himself.
Indeed, it would be better for him to make a move.
