Chapter 883 Return Safely
Chapter 883 Return Safely
When night arrived, all of them dressed up and were ready to go.
At the door, Anthony looked at Thalia and said, “Even though I know today's events are not a big deal for you, I still want you to come back safely.”
Thalia listened with great pleasure, and a charming smile flashed across her beautiful face. “Finally, I've heard some pleasant words these days.” She said, looking at him seriously, “Don't worry, I'll definitely come back safely. As for you and the rest of you, don't rush forward. Stay as far away as possible. If I find out any of you got hurt, don't blame me!” said Thalia as she looked at Anthony, Benjamin, and Denise.
Anthony immediately spoke up. “Don't worry, I'm the kind of person who cherishes my life the most. I'll definitely keep my distance, and I won't let myself get hurt because of someone else's business.”
Thalia looked at him. “That will be best.”
Anthony smiled at her, glanced at his wristwatch, and said, “Then let's meet in an hour.”
Thalia's gaze shifted from Anthony to Miguel who was standing beside him. There was a hint of fierceness in her eyes. “Protect the three of them well. If anything happens, I'll hold you responsible!”
“Don't worry. I'll do everything in my power to protect them!” Miguel said.
Thalia did not doubt it at all. After all, when they faced the attack from Magus the other day, he rushed forward without any hesitation.
“I trust you,” Thalia said.
Miguel's lips curled up slightly.
“Alright, it's about time. Let's go,” said Anthony.
Thalia nodded before getting into an off-road vehicle. Watching her get in, Anthony looked back and said, “Let's go too.”
So, the rest of them too turned around and got into the car.
Although they set off at the same time, they headed in different directions when they reached the door.
Sitting in the car, Anthony kept his eyes on the rearview mirror until the darkness swallowed Thalia's vehicle. It was only then did he look away.
Beside him, Benjamin looked on with a slightly raised eyebrow. “What's the matter? Are you worried?”
Anthony looked away. “There's nothing to worry about. With Thalia's abilities, this is just a piece of cake.”
“Then what are you looking at?”
Anthony pursed his lips. “I'm just worried about her health...”
Speaking of which, Benjamin suddenly thought of something and looked back, only to find that the vehicle had already disappeared.
After pondering for a moment, Benjamin finally looked away and said, “She seems to be fine lately, so there shouldn't be any issues, right?”
Anthony took a deep breath and said, “I hope so.”
Benjamin did not speak again.
Just then, Anthony's phone rang. Upon seeing the caller ID, he immediately answered.
“Hello.”
“We'll be there soon, within twenty minutes at most.”
“Alright, let's talk about it once we get there.”
After exchanging a few words, Anthony hung up the phone.
“What's wrong?” Benjamin asked.
“Magus has already arrived.”
“So early?” Benjamin asked.
“Lina is in their hands, and he's restless now. If he can act sooner, he definitely won't wait!” Anthony said.
Benjamin listened and nodded, but then, he thought of something and asked, “It's really strange that Magus would actually take the initiative to call you.”
“Even the coldest person has to bow down in the face of reality. He knows very well that I am the only one who can save Lina now,” Anthony said, emphasizing each word.
Benjamin listened and nodded. “That's true. I just hope he doesn't disappoint you in the end.”
Anthony did not speak, but the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.
The car sped along, swiftly reaching their designated destination.
It was still the same abandoned factory yard. Miguel deliberately parked the car a little farther away. By the time they arrived, Magus was already waiting for them.
“Magus,” Anthony called out.
Upon hearing his name, Magus turned around and saw Anthony approaching. He glanced at Miguel who was standing nearby, as well as Benjamin and Denise who were following behind him.
Magus frowned deeply. “What's going on?”
“Don't worry, they won't cause any trouble,” Anthony said.
“I didn't mean that,” Magus immediately spoke up. “I'm just worried about you all...”
“There's no use talking about that now. Time is running short, so let's get straight to the point and focus on what's important,” said Anthony.
Magus did not say anything. He just looked at him.
At that moment, Anthony took out a chip the size of a soybean from his pocket and handed it directly to Magus. “Stick this on your ear, and I'll keep you updated in real-time.”
Upon seeing the gadget, Magus took it from his hand. As he was holding it and examining it, Anthony spoke up. “There's no time left. Miguel, help him put it on.”
Miguel immediately took the earpiece from his hand and then attached it to the whorl of Magus' ear. It was already difficult to notice the gadget, and being nighttime, it was even harder for others to discover.
Anthony looked at him and said, “As soon as Lindon shows up here, Thalia will immediately take action. What you need to do is to hold him back and make sure he doesn't go back or do anything
else!”
Magus heard and nodded. “Understood.”
“I hope he doesn't get the message. That way, you can avoid some trouble,” Anthony said.
Magus looked at him intently. “I can bear any kind of punishment as long as Lina can be successfully rescued.”
“With Thalia around, there shouldn't be any problems,” Anthony said.
Magus nodded slightly.
At that moment, Miguel, who was standing nearby, spoke up. “Master, it seems like there's some movement. Someone is coming.”
Upon hearing that, everyone's gaze immediately turned to the distance, where they saw the lights of an approaching car. Anthony looked at Magus and said, “Remember, no matter what Lindon says, you can respond according to your own attitude. It doesn't matter if it's good or bad. Just follow your heart, and don't feel obliged to please him.”
Magus lowered his gaze, looking intently at him.
Follow my heart?
It had been a long time since Magus last heard such words.
Just as he was in a state of limbo, Anthony spoke up. “We'll go ahead first. Be careful!” With that, Anthony led his siblings toward the hidden area.
As soon as they finished hiding, the car came to a halt. To their surprise, Lindon stepped out of the vehicle and was accompanied by another man.
“They actually brought back up,” Denise muttered. “If a fight breaks out, Magus will be no match for them.” Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Anthony cast a glance at Denise, then looked back at Magus. He murmured softly, “There are some things that Magus must pay a price for. This is what he deserves, and no one can take his place.”
Denise looked at Benjamin, but his pitch-black eyes revealed no discernible emotions.
At that moment, they stopped talking and looked into the distance. They saw Lindon getting out of the car and walking toward Magus.
“You're still as punctual as ever, Mag.” Lindon walked over and spoke to Magus casually as if they were old friends who had known each other for years.
Magus, on the other hand, glared at him with a look of hatred. “Don't address me like that. You're not fit to do so.”
