Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 962

At Vermillion Base, Thalia and Alexia stealthily infiltrated it with their team.

Their goal was simple—to find the antidote.

Even with half of the main force gone, there were still quite a few people there.

Just as they found their way to the Boss' quarters, Thalia and Alexia exchanged a glance upon seeing the guards at the door.

“I'll distract them!” Alexia signaled with her hand.

Just as she was about to leave, Thalia directly stopped her. “No need.”

“Do you have an idea?”

Thalia's lips curled up in a smile. She had been prepared for this moment since she arrived.

As she pulled cash out from her body, Alexia watched on with her eyebrows furrowed. It was as if her gaze was asking, “What does this mean?”

Thalia didn't say a word as she simply threw the money some distance away.

At that moment, the person standing guard at the door heard a sound and glanced toward the distance.

The night was dark and the wind was strong, but there was nothing out of the ordinary to be found.

Thalia remained calm, once again picking up a stone from the ground. She wrapped it in her wallet and threw it toward the distance.

At that moment, the person guarding the door seemed to sense something and then investigated where the stone had fallen.

Upon arrival, the person looked around. Then, with a sweep of his gaze, he suddenly froze upon seeing the money on the ground.

Kneeling toward the ground, he picked it up before slowly unfolding the wrapped cash. Once he was sure it was cash, the man's face showed a hint of surprise. Then, after glancing around, he promptly pocketed the money.

Seeing the turning of events, Thalia gestured towards Alexia, and the two of them slipped into Boss' quarters.

After stepping in, Alexia said softly, “I'm surprised it worked!”

“When Nat sneaked in before, she bribed quite a few people with money. She found out that many of them came from poor families. Some joined just to have a meal to eat, so money is really important to them!” Thalia said, word by word.

“Nat?”

“Natasha!” Thalia said directly.

The name triggered a flicker in Alexia's eyes.

Although she didn't utter a word, her eyes betrayed her thoughts.

“You're not too thrilled about helping her find the antidote, are you?” Thalia asked.

Speaking of which, Alexia said, “It was me who insisted on coming!”

Thalia looked at her in surprise. “Why?”

“There's no particular reason, I just want to do something for him,” said Alexia.

The answer caused Thalia's mouth to twitch slightly. This girl, despite her young age, seems to carry herself with an air of maturity.

Even though she didn't see Alexia often, she occasionally heard from Denise that Alexia was fond of Kenneth.

After a moment of thought, Thalia spoke up, “What's so great about Kenneth? He's just an old man. You're so beautiful. I'll introduce you to a handsome guy when we get back.”

The comment caused Alexia to frown at her. “He's not old. Besides, I don't want any handsome guys!”

Watching her serious expression, Thalia raised an eyebrow. “Okay, I was just joking. Don't mind me, and don't take it seriously.”

Alexia pursed her lips. “To me, he is one of a kind. The best in the world.”

Thalia was at a loss for words.

Looking at Alexia, Thalia clicked her tongue and said, “Everything about you is great, except for your eye.”

“You—”

“Alright, alright, enough talk. Let's hurry and find the antidote,” Thalia said, before promptly heading forward.

With a somewhat serious look, Alexia said to her, “I know you're joking. You're friends with my savior, so I'm not angry.”

Upon hearing this, Thalia couldn't help but laugh wryly.

Without further ado, Alexia began searching the room for the antidote.
