Chapter 345


    Noticing his movements, Natasha grabbed onto the door handle. She opened the car door and got out


    of the car.


    She smirked slightly at him. “I''m not that thirsty, but if you are, you should return to the office. After all,


    there are a lot of people who are willing to help you quench your thirst, Mr. Hamilton.” With that, she


    made a move to close the door.


    However, Keh acted faster and held the door with his hand. “But the only person I want is you.”


    Natasha''s lips curved upward. “I''m sorry. I have no interest in satisfying your desire right now.” With


    that, she closed the door firmly.


    The window slowly rolled down. “You don''t want to do that now. Does that mean that you''ll be


    interested in doing thatter?” Keh was sensitive enough to catch onto her words.


    Natasha looked at him in silence, her eyes scrutinizing him.


    “Okay. I''lle to find you once I''m done with work,” the astute Keh immediately said.


    Natasha nodded. “Okay. I''ll wait for you.”


    Keh narrowed his eyes as he stared at her. “Remember what you''ve said, Natasha.”


    He knew that Natasha always put up a stubborn front. However, judging from Natasha''s words,


    Keh was well aware that she had not rejected him.


    At least he still stood a chance.


    When Keh thought of that, his eyes were filled with desire.


    On the other hand, Natasha only smiled at him. Not wanting to waste more time on him, she turned


    around to leave.


    Keh called out as he watched her walking away. “I won''t be able toe at night, but I''ll find you


    first thing tomorrow.”


    Without even looking back, Natasha waved her hand dismissively and walked into the building.


    It was only after she entered the building that Keh looked away.


    If it hadn''t been for the fact that he had something to attend to at night, he would have followed her


    inside.


    Keh''s eyes turned cold at once when he thought of the matter. He took out his phone to make a


    call.


    “How are things going?”


    After the person on the other end of the line responded, Keh instructed, “Good. Make sure to keep


    your eyes on them.”


    With that, he looked in the direction of where Natasha had left. His eyes narrowed slightly while his lips


    curled into a smile.


    Wait for me.


    He then started the engine and drove off.


    Meanwhile, Natasha was standing on the balcony as she looked down. Her eyes narrowed when


    Keh''s car left.


    This time, she was not sure when she would return. To be more specific, she was not even sure if she


    would evere back.


    I''m sorry, Keh. Please take good care of Grandpa and the kids.


    Upon that thought, Natasha rposed herself and stared into the distance.


    It was well into the night. There was a weak light shining onto the jetty.


    Noticing his movements, Notosho grobbed onto the door hondle. She opened the cor door ond got out


    of the cor.


    She smirked slightly ot him. “I''m not thot thirsty, but if you ore, you should return to the office. After oll,

    oround to leove.


    Keh colled out os he wotched her wolking owoy. “I won''t be oble toe ot night, but I''ll find you

    With thot, he looked in the direction of where Notosho hod left. His eyes norrowed slightly while his lips

    Woit for me.


    He then storted the engine ond drove off.


    Meonwhile, Notosho wos stonding on the bolcony os she looked down. Her eyes norrowed when

    This time, she wos not sure when she would return. To be more specific, she wos not even sure if she


    would evere bock.


    I''m sorry, Keh. Pleose toke good core of Grondpo ond the kids.


    Upon thot thought, Notosho rposed herself ond stored into the distonce.


    It wos well into the night. There wos o weok light shining onto the jetty.


    A car was parked at a spot that was well hidden from view.


    With a pair of binocrs, Anthony stared at the jetty from inside the car.


    “Is there anything?” Thalia asked.


    Anthony shook his head.


    “Are you sure it''s tonight?” Thalia asked as she crossed her legs.


    “Of course. I''m a hundred percent sure.”


    Thalia then sat up straight and took the binocrs from Anthony. She wanted to have a look.


    “Where did you get the information from?”


    “Um...”


    “Is the source supposed to be a secret?” Thalia asked.


    “It''s not that... You''ll figure it out in a while,” Anthony said.


    Thalia nced over at him. “Must you really keep me in suspense?”


    Anthony remained silent.


    “But if the source is reliable, where are they?” Thalia queried.


    “I don''t know either. Could it be that something unforeseen transpired?”


    “Who knows? The rendezvous may have been canceled,” Thalia said as she put down the binocrs.


    Anthony furrowed his brows.


    “Let''s just wait for a while more. This sort of activity is usually carried out atte night, right?” Benjamin,


    who was sitting in the backseat, piped up.


    Thalia nced over at him with a small smile. “You seem to know a lot about this.”


    Before Benjamin could reply, Denise spoke up instead. “That''s how things usually y out in the


    movies, right?”


    Thalia didn''t know how to respond to that.


    “That''s right,” Benjamin agreed.


    Thalia was speechless. They''ve probably overestimated themselves...


    Denise then reached for the binocrs. “Let me have a look.”


    Thalia instantly passed the binocrs over to her.


    Denise held onto the binocrs and started looking around.


    However, just as she was watching, she suddenly piped up, “How many people are supposed toe,


    Tony?”


    “Seven to eight, I guess...” Anthony trailed off before adding, “But there are more than seven to eight of


    them that we''re going to face tonight.”


    “What do you mean?” Thalia pressed.


    “I—”


    “I saw them! There are quite a few foreigners!” Denise eximed.


    Anthony instantly got excited when he heard her. “Let me take a look!”


    Denise threw the binocrs over to him, and Anthony quickly took them.


    “What''s going on?” Thalia got excited as well.


    Anthony looked toward the jetty and saw that there were indeed five to six people at the jetty. All of


    them were tall and burly. They were looking around as they stood on the jetty.


    “They''re finally here.”


    “What about the goods?” Thalia asked.


    “Since the people are here, the goods should be arriving anytime soon,” Anthony analyzed.


    Thalia took a deep breath as excitement filled her eyes. “I''ve always been tasked with dangerous


    missions in the past. It''s the first time I''m doing something secretive and illegal! Oh my goodness. I''m


    getting excited!”


    Benjamin raised his eyebrows at that. “Well... I don''t think your previous missions have brought you a


    great fortune like this one.”


    Denise burst outughing at that.


    “What do you think about this mission then?” Thalia muttered.


    “Hmmm... A heroic act of helping the poor?” Benjamin said after pondering for a moment.


    “How? Who are the poor people that you''re referring to?” Thalia asked in confusion.


    Oh, please... They are loaded, and they''re nothing like the poor.


    “The poor people living in the slums, of course. Once we get our hands on the goods, we''ll donate what


    we''ve seized to the poor!” Benjamin said.


    Thalia chuckled at that. “You two are definitely rted by blood. It''s amazing how you are able to find


    such good excuses for your shameless actions.”


    “I''ll take it as apliment,” Benjamin replied with a smile.


    “It is.”


    Just as they were bickering with each other, Anthony was focused on the jetty. He looked at the


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    surroundings, and his eyebrows furrowed in worry.


    Where are those people?


    Thalia noticed the look on his face and asked, “What''s up? When are we making a move?”


    “Let''s wait a while more.”


    “What are we waiting for?”


    “Waiting for another group of people to appear.”


    Thalia was reminded of something after hearing his reply. She nced at him and asked, “What did


    you mean earlier when you said that we''re not only going up against one group of people?”


    Anthony ced his binocrs down. “It''s exactly what you just said.”


    “Do you mean that there will be another group of peopleing to snatch the goods?”


    Anthony nodded after a brief moment of hesitation.


    Thalia frowned. “Who? Wait. How did you know there would be another group of people?”


    Anthony merely smiled at her.


    “We''vee this far. Why can''t you just tell us?” Thalia took a deep breath, seemingly trying to


    suppress her anger.


    “It''s not that I can''t...” Anthony trailed off in doubt. He actually did not know how to put it into words.


    “What—”


    “Tony, something is up!” Benjamin interrupted them. “There''s something moving on the surface of the


    water. I think they''re getting ready.”


    Anthony''s eyebrows furrowed when he heard that. He would be lying if he said he was not nervous.


    After all, it was his first time doing something like this. At that moment, he was filled with excitement


    and nervousness.


    Denise looked at Anthony. “What should we do next, Tony?”


    “We''ll wait for the other group of people to appear,” Anthony said.


    Everyone in the car looked at him in confusion. They had no idea what Anthony was up to.
