Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 877

Magus held up his phone, his eyes deep and his gaze obscure. A moment later, he answered the call.

“Hello.”

“Where's the stuff?” Lindon asked directly on the other side of the phone.

“I want to have a conversation with Lina!” Magus firmly demanded.

A cold smirk appeared at the corner of Lindon's mouth when he heard Magus' demand. “Magus, you never used to bargain with me before!”

“Yeah, so that's why I've gotten the short end of the stick, right?” Magus asked rhetorically.

Lindon fell silent for a moment. He then continued, “Fine, you want to talk, right? Give me a second!”

As he spoke, there seemed to be some commotion on the other end of the phone.

The volume of his phone was not very low. Even through the phone, Thalia and Anthony beside him could hear their conversation loud and clear. However, Anthony didn't even lift his head. His eyes were lowered as he was looking down at his phone, watching as the screen rapidly scrolled upwards, with rows and rows of numerical coding flashing by.

At that moment, a voice suddenly came through, “Go ahead, she's listening!”

Magus immediately asked, “Lina, how are you? Are you alright?”

The person on the other end of the phone immediately spoke when she heard Magus' voice. “Magus, no matter what he asks you to do, don't agree to it and don't worry about me. Go, leave as far away as possible. Leave this place, leave with those people!” On the other end of the phone, Lina's hysterical voice came through.

“Lina!”

Just as Magus was about to say something, Lindon suddenly took over the phone. “How about that, did you hear her?”

“Lindon, how is Lina doing now? I'm telling you, if there's anything wrong with her, I will never forgive you for my entire life!”

This threat really didn't mean much to him.

Lindon chuckled indifferently. “Don't worry, I'll definitely take good care of her and feed her nicely. After all, you're my buddy, right?”

Buddy...

This word was extremely ironic.

Magus clenched his phone tightly, his knuckles turning white. “Lindon, don't say such disgusting things to me. You know very well that I'd love nothing more than to chop you up piece by piece to vent my anger and hatred!”

Magus' reaction was well within Lindon's expectations, so he didn't show any signs of anger upon hearing those words. “If you want to chop me up, I'd like to see if you're capable of doing so. However, right now, you definitely aren't. Not only that, but you also have to listen to me. Whatever I say, you will have to obey, or else...” He paused for a few seconds, and then Lina's screams came through the phone.

“Ah—”

Magus instantly became anxious. With furrowed brows, he suddenly shouted in a deep voice, “What do you want to do? Lindon, if you have any problems, come at me!”

Hearing Magus' anxious voice, a low yet extremely twisted laughter echoed from the other end of the phone. “Why, feeling heartbroken already?”

“What on earth do you want?” Magus asked through gritted teeth.

“Don't you know well enough what I want? It's not as simple as those few pieces of skin!” Lindon replied in a mysterious tone.

Magus clenched his fist tightly, knowing that if he refused to do as he was told now, Lina on the other side would undoubtedly suffer his torment.

Clenching and unclenching his fists, Magus finally spoke after an instant, “All right, I agree to your terms!”

When Lindon heard his response, he grinned in satisfaction. “That's more like it! If you had agreed earlier, we wouldn't have had to go through all these emotionally draining experiences between us!”

“When will you let Lina go?”

“After the job is done, I'll definitely let her go!”

“How can I trust you?” Magus asked.

“Whether you choose to trust me is totally up to you. However, from my perspective, you are only left with one option!” Lindon replied bluntly.

He was right. He had completely controlled Anthony's weakness in his palm, so there was no need for him to reason, let alone explain so much. Anthony only had to comply obediently.
