Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 865

And so, several people sat in Magus' studio, their eyes fixated without blinking.

They appeared surprised and intrigued, their expressions filled with novelty.

However, as time passed by, second after second, they found themselves growing bored to the extreme and began yawning.

Denise, in particular, found a spot to sit and started daydreaming, gradually dozing off until he eventually slumped onto the table, fast asleep.

No one knew how much time had passed when got up to fetch something. As he raised his gaze, he noticed that his studio's corner was now filled with people, scattered here and there, and sleeping in all sorts of strange and peculiar positions. Only Anthony stood in front of his desk, attentively observing.

With a small palm-sized face and a pair of dark eyes, he stared motionlessly at Magus' workbench.

This was, in fact, a rather tedious and boring task. In the past, Magus himself had stood in front of the workbench, just like Anthony, observing for an entire night before gaining recognition and acquiring this skill.

Surprised, Magus swept his bewildered gaze across Anthony, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke, “Do you like this?”

Anthony replied, “Not exactly, I'm just curious, that's all!”

“Do you want to learn?” Magus asked.

Anthony lifted his gaze and looked at him. “Are you willing to teach me?”

“I can offer it as a reward for saving Lina,” Magus replied.

Anthony smiled faintly, showing no signs of urgency or eagerness. He simply glanced at him and said, “Are these the skills you use to make a living? You teach it to others so easily?”

Magus stood up, grabbed a tool, and then sat back down. He continued carving on a hyper-realistic mask. After a while, he spoke softly, “It's not easy. You are indeed quite different from the others who have come here seeking my services!”

It could be heard that he was praising him.

Anthony looked at him and asked, “Oh, really? How am I different?”

“When each of them comes to me, they bring money or contracts and promise to pay a certain amount. And when they fail to achieve their desired results, they start warning and threatening me...” Magus looked at the person in front of him and whispered, “But you didn't!”

Anthony chuckled lightly. “If I remember correctly, the first time I saw you, I also told you to name your price.”

Magus was briefly taken aback and then said, “In any case, you're different!”

“Is it really different? Or is it because of our interaction over these past few days that you know deep down I'm not a bad person?” Anthony looked at him and asked.

Magus was momentarily stunned.

I didn't expect Anthony to be so straightforward.

He raised his gaze, glanced at Anthony, and then shifted his attention back to his work, engrossed in what he was doing.

Seeing his silence, Anthony didn't continue probing.

To be honest, Anthony was already content with being able to get along with someone who was highly resistant to socializing.

Anthony simply stood by and watched. He wasn't trying to learn anything specific. He just wanted to know how different this person was from Magus when it came to finding the next target.

“What do you do for a living?” Magus suddenly asked, as if it were just casual conversation.

Anthony looked at him and responded effortlessly, “I work with computers!”

“Computers?”

“Well, it's more like some online tracking stuff!” Anthony simplified his response, not portraying his industry as something high-end or complex.

It was just casual conversation.

He had always believed in being straightforward and not pretending in front of honest people.
