Chapter 831 Try Leaving Then

A subtle smile curled on the corner of Anthony's lips as Denise's words reached his ears. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Beside them, Benjamin chimed in, “I had my doubts about him from the beginning too, and now this indeed gave him away!”

“All of you figured that out?” Thalia asked.

Benjamin replied truthfully, “I didn't think too much into it. I just felt something was off.”

After their analysis, Thalia pondered seriously for a moment. “This person is indeed suspicious, but how can you be sure he's working with Magus to scam money?”

“I'm not certain. But we're currently looking for evidence, aren't we?” Anthony asked rhetorically.

Thalia narrowed her eyes upon hearing what he said and questioned, “Are you suggesting it's related to his ex-girlfriend?”

“If that's the case, then everything seems to make sense. Magus didn't expose those gangs in the past because he feared the leader's influence and what the leader might do to his girlfriend. And now, he's teamed up with this person to scam money, also for the sake of his girlfriend,” Anthony explained.

Miguel asked, “But if they truly teamed up to scam money, why would this person agree to our conditions and help us investigate Magus?”

“Naturally, he couldn't resist the temptation of money. Besides, my conjecture doesn't imply there isn't a trace of betrayal between them,” Anthony said as he stared intently at them.

Miguel drove the car, his face filled with indescribable complexity under the sunlight.

He was astonished by the nature of the situation and equally taken aback by Anthony's speculation.

How did he come up with all these? With the same brain, how could we think such different thoughts?

Meanwhile, Thalia gazed outside, her mesmerizing eyes wandering. She knew Anthony had always been an intelligent person, but she had a different perspective on this matter. Suddenly, she said, “I don't think Magus is that kind of person.”

“Isn't that kind of person?” asked Anthony.

Thalia answered firmly, “He wouldn't collude with that person to scam money. The Magus I know is not like that!”

At that moment, Anthony leaned in closer and looked at Thalia with a meaningful gaze. “Thalia, the person you think you know indeed won't change in a specific environment. Like you, you won't undergo significant changes if you're with Darknetz for years. But what if you hadn't joined Darknetz? Then your life would be full of uncertainties!” A glint flashed across his eyes as he spoke, and he continued asking, “Similarly, Magus is also like that. The Magus, you know, was once rebellious, perhaps even someone who had just plummeted from the pinnacle. He hasn't transformed into what he is now, but do you know what he has experienced all these years?”

Thalia fell into silence instantly.

She had to admit that Anthony made a valid point. However, she still could not bring herself to believe it. “A leopard can't change its spots. I believe in Magus!”

Anthony did not want to shatter her impression of someone, so he chose a different approach. “Actually, a person's transformation doesn't necessarily mean they are a bad person. At least the money he scammed was all directed toward him. The motives of these people are controversial, so

I'm not implying that Magus is bad. On the contrary, I'm here for him as well. So far, I haven't formed any personal judgment about his character,” Anthony said, emphasizing each word.

Anthony's words were already very objective.

“I know what you mean, but everyone has their own perspectives. As for me, I won't believe it unless I see it with my own eyes!” Thalia replied while lowering her gaze.

Anthony smiled faintly upon hearing that. “Then let's wait and see!”

“Fine, let's just wait and see!” Thalia persisted in her viewpoint.

Anthony merely raised the corner of his lips, refraining from saying too much.

And so, the car continued to travel down the road.

Soon, the taxi came to a stop in front of a hospital entrance, and when Miguel saw that, he followed suit and parked behind it. “We've arrived,” Miguel said.

At that moment, everyone turned their gaze outside.

Indeed, they had arrived at the hospital entrance.

Before getting out of the car, Anthony looked at them and said, “With all of us together, our presence is too conspicuous. After we get out, I'll go with Thalia. Miguel, you take Benjamin and Denise. If we separate, it won't attract too much attention.”

The others nodded in agreement upon hearing that.

Thus, the car doors opened, and Thalia and Anthony were the first to step out.

Just then, the man in the taxi also got out and walked toward Anthony.

“Sir, are you here at the hospital to seek medical treatment?” the man asked.

Anthony replied, “I'm not here to seek medical treatment but to visit someone.”

“Visit someone?”

“That's right. I'm here to visit Magus' girlfriend,” Anthony stated with a smirk.

The man was momentarily stunned when he heard that. He then asked, “That's his ex-girlfriend from many years ago. Why are you here to visit her?”

“You seem to know a lot about Magus,” Anthony teased.

The man was once again taken aback after hearing what Anthony said. A moment later, the former responded, “He has a bad reputation among us, so everyone has a thing or two to say about him.”

“I suppose his relationship with all of you isn't good either?” Anthony questioned.

The man immediately shook his head. “He doesn't have a good relationship with anyone!”

Anthony nodded calmly upon hearing his words. “It's clear that he is guarded against everyone.”

“That's right!” the man quickly responded.

Nevertheless, Anthony continued asking, “But I have a question, how did you manage to deceive him into the room?”

The man was about to say something but froze upon hearing what Anthony said.

Gazing at Anthony, his gaunt features looked somewhat intimidating. The man was momentarily stunned. He's just a child. How could someone so young possess such a cunning nature?

Seeing that the man was not saying anything, Anthony wore an innocent smile and asked, “Why are you not talking?”

“Naturally, I employed certain methods!” The man snapped back to reality and looked at Anthony.

“What methods?”

“I'm sorry, but I can't tell you that!” the man replied.

Anthony smiled. Of course, he did not expect the man to tell the truth. However, the latter's reaction once again confirmed his suspicions.

There had to be some sort of unusual “transaction” between them.

At that moment, Thalia observed his reaction and furrowed her brows, displeasure evident on her face. “Is it that you can't say or won't?”

“Is there a difference between the two?” The man feigned ignorance.

Thalia responded in a low voice, “Of course, one is a matter of personal expertise, while the other involves some questionable affairs.”

A smile adorned the man's face, leaving an air of enigma. “Well, of course, that's my special talent!” he remarked.

“I hope what you're saying is true,” Thalia replied as her gaze swept over him.

“Since both of you don't trust me, I suggest we end our transaction here,” the man interjected.

Anthony attempted to persuade him. “Don't be so hasty. We're just having a casual conversation.”

The man took a deep breath and looked at them. “I must be honest with you both. I have other matters to attend to. Besides, I've done everything I can here. There's truly nothing more I can do!” As soon as he finished saying that, the man prepared to take his leave.

However, just as he was about to depart, Thalia swiftly drew a dagger, blocking his way. In a haunting tone, she warned, “Why don't you try leaving?”
