Chapter 1097 The Most Dangerous Place Is The Safest Place
Thalia didn’t know where the young man had sprung from, but she knew that he was reminding her.
Watching the young man running toward her and seeing that the attacker behind her showed no signs of stopping, Thalia suddenly stepped forward, grabbing the young man's arm and swiftly flinging him aside to dodge the attack.
Then, she kicked the person attacking from behind, sending him flying.
After that person had landed, Thalia finally turned to look aside. Upon seeing the newcomer, she narrowed her eyes. “It's you?” “Watch out, behind you!” the young man warned.
Without turing her head, Thalia reached for her handgun and aimed it behind her. The person fell to the ground immediately. The young man looked on, his eyes widening. “You—”
“Weren't you supposed to wait for me at the hotel?” Thalia asked him, looking at him.
‘I had just arrived at the hotel when I saw you running out, so I followed you...” He was about to say something else when he saw Thalia raise a gun at him.
The young man was terrified. “I mean no—"
Before he could finish speaking, a gunshot suddenly rang out beside his ear.
He was so terrified that his body stiffened. As he was at a loss for what to do, he suddenly noticed something beneath his feet. When he cast his gaze downward, he saw a person had fallen right at his feet
He lifted his gaze to Thalia, who rolled her eyes at him and said, “Look at you, you almost peed your pants
Just as the young man was about to say something, the sound of a police siren echoed from outside.
Thalia knitted her brows. She didn't want to cause any trouble, let alone attract the attention of the local police. With Anthony by her side, it was best to keep a low profile.
With these thoughts in mind, she turned and walked away.
However, after taking a few steps, Thalia seemed to remember something. She turned to look at the young man still standing in place behind her and said, “Are you planning to stay here and wait to be caught as the murderer?”
Seeing that the young man was unable to move even a step, Thalia approached him, grabbed him, and pulled him away. Thalia casually tossed the gun into the flower bushes, then blended into the crowd, acting as if nothing had happened at all The young man walking beside her still had a somewhat pale complexion, his movements notably stiff as he walked.
Thalia said in a low voice, “If you don't want to be caught as a murderer, then act normal. Otherwise, no one can protect you.” “I-I'll do my best!”
Looking at the police officer approaching head-on, Thalia grabbed his collar and abruptly veered off into another street.
Thalia had undergone specialized training. Escaping was not an issue at all for her. If it weren't for the young man, they probably wouldn't even catch a glimpse of her retreating figure
And so, they meandered and wound their way around.
Thalia didn’t return to the hotel right away and waited until nightfall when it was safe enough to do so.
The moment the door swung open, Thalia promptly ushered the young man into the room.
After taking a glance at the situation outside, he then proceeded to go in
The door closed, and at that moment, the person in the room immediately ran out.
“Thalia.” Anthony looked at her, approached her, and examined her from head to toe. “Are you okay? You're not hurt, are you?”
Observing his worried expression, Thalia smiled. “Of course I'm okay. I told you, those people can’t hurt me!”
“Then why did it take you so long to come back?" Anthony asked.
‘I have to wait until it's safe enough to come back. Besides, those people have been lingering outside the hotel. If I come back, you'll be in danger.” “Then should we change our hotel?”
“It doesn't matter where we go,” Thalia stated plainly, moving toward the window. She drew the curtains shut, then turned back to look at him. “As it stands now, the most dangerous place is the safest place. They've been here before, so they probably won't come again for now.”
In this regard, Anthony never questioned Thalia's judgment.
He nodded, then suddenly remembered something. “By the way, who were those people?”
“Enemy.”
Anthony was not surprised, as he had already guessed mest of it. He couldn't help but sigh. “It's true that you have enemies everywhere you go!” “What, are you blaming me now?”
“No."
“Good, because they aren't my enemy, but Darknetz's. Not just me, even if Kyle came, it would be the same.”
“Darknetz's enemy?"
Thalia nodded. “That's right.” As she spoke, something seemed to occur to her and she looked at Anthony. ‘Oh, Ialraost forgot about you. If they knew you were also part of
Darknétz, they probably wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to capture me...”
Anthony pursed his lips, appearing utterly helpless.
“But how did they know we were here?” Anthony asked in confusion.
Thalia shgok her head. “I'm not sure. Somehow, word must have gotten’ out. But luckily, they don't know who yous are, and you're not their target,” she: said, feeling a sense of relief.
Otherwise, protecting Anthony while fighting would inevitably lead to a fierce battle.
“We really need to look into this matter thoroughly,” said Anthony.
“No rush. These are all old grudges from the past. The priority now is to ask about what we can,” said Thalia, subtly hinting at the person beside her. At that moment, Anthony lowered his gaze. Only then did he look toward the person at the side.
The young man looked at Anthony and offered him a stiff smile.
“How did you both end up coming back together?” Anthony asked, his gaze shifting toward Thalia
“When those people were chasing after me, somehow this kid saw it. He even followed and arrogantly thought he had saved me and helped me...” Thalia was quite speechless about it.
“I did help you. If it weren't for me, those people would have attacked you from behind,” the young man immediately said, as if stating an indisputable fact.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
He had spent the afternoon with Thalia, and his courage had gradually increased.
Thalia looked at him and sniggered. Without uttering another word, she walked directly toward the couch and sat down, her legs crossed. Anthony tactfully stepped forward, poured a glass of water for her, and handed it to her.
Thalia looked at Anthony with considerable surprise. “This is...”
“You must be tired. Take a good rest first!” Anthony said.
Thalia’s lipScurled up in satisfaction. "All right,-after a hard day's work t's worth. if I can get a glass of water frontyou.” Saying this, she took the water and drank some. Coritent belongs to ~~
“If you want a drink in the future, just call me anytime.”
“Don't forget what you just said.”
Anthony flashed her a smile. “Of course!”
Thalia raised an eyebrow. “Okay, I'll give you credit for having a conscience!”
Anthony didn't say much more and gave her a warm smile. Only then did he shift his gaze to the person standing behind him.
The young man was still standing there, his gaze shifting back and forth between the two of them
Facing the young man, Anthony displayed a completely different demeanor—mature, steady, and even an indescribable sense of pride. He didn't rush to speak. Instead, he leisurely walked past him and then sat down on the other side.
Looking at that person, Anthony seemed to be contemplating something
The young man stood there, sizing up Anthony and Thalia. The look in their eyes filled his heart with an unspeakable sense of dread.
“You can speak your mind directly. Do you have to look at me like that...” the young man asked
