Chapter 351
Nearby the port, a truck full of goods pulled out, followed by two ordinary cars.
When the truck passed him by, Anthony whispered into his earpiece, “The truck is heading over
there!”
“Got it. Denise is live reporting everything to me,” Thalia said.
“I''ll leave it to you then.”
“See you after half an hour,” Thalia replied.
“Okay.”
As the car behind the truck approached, Anthony took off his earpiece and put on an innocent look
as he went forward.
He dashed forward and stopped the car.
The driver was startled by the boy''s sudden appearance and hit the brakes immediately.
He wound down the car window and shouted at Anthony, “Hey kid! What are you doing?”
Anthony approached them and gave them a puppy-eyed look as he said, “Please help me. My
brother and I have lost our way and can''t go home. Could you please help send us home?”
The driver furrowed his brows in response. At the sight of the widening gap between his car and the
truck, he said irritably, “Go away, child.”
Of course, Anthony would not budge. He stepped forward and said, “Please. My mommy and daddy
will be so grateful and thank you guys with gifts if you will be so kind as to send us home!”
The driver eyed Anthony from head to toe. Judging by hisvish clothes, the driver reckoned that
Anthony dide from a wealthy family.
However, the truck in front was more important.
“Let me repeat myself one more time. Go away! Otherwise, don''t me me for being ruthless!”
Anthony kept up with the innocent look and continued pleading, “In that case, can I borrow your
phone so that I can call my mommy and daddy? I''ll ask them toe over and fetch us!”
“Go away!” the man hissed.
Then, a man from the car behind them got out and approached them.
He looked at Anthony and Benjamin and asked with a puzzled look on his face, “What''s the
matter?”
The man in the front car replied, “This kid ims to have lost his way, and he''s asking us to send
him home.”
Anthony turned to look at the man from the second car and said, “Mister, could you help us out? I
would be really grateful if you could lend me your phone. Otherwise, my brother and I will have no
choice but to roam the streets!”
The man merely eyed them from head to toe.
Anthony took off his ne and said, “Mister, my daddy has gifted me this ne. I heard that it
is worth a lot. I''m going to give it to you guys. Could you guys please lend me your phone?”
The man took over Anthony''s ne and hesitated for a moment before handing over his phone.
“Thank you, mister!”
The man said nothing.
Anthony took the phone and entered a series of numbers, pretending as if he was making a call.
Soon, the call went through.
“Mommy, where are you?” Anthony said. “Ben and I are lost. Were at the port. Yes, pleasee
pick us up! All right, I will wait here with Ben. Please hurry up. We''re hungry and really scared.”
On the other end of the phone, Thalia was executing her mission. Anthony could hear her working
in the background. She teased as she worked, “I consider myself very lucky to be able to witness
you in action in this lifetime.”
Anthony was scoffing at her inwardly, but he was still putting on an adorable look on the outside.
“All right, Mommy. When are youing to pick us up?” Anthony asked.
“I''m working on it. Have some patience. It''s going to be done soon,” Thalia said casually.
“Okay, understood.”
After hanging up the call, Anthony took a deep breath, and as he turned around to face the men, he
was already all smiles. “Thank you, mister. My mommy wille to fetch us soon.”
The man nced at him and said, “It''s already sote. What are kids like you doing over here?”
Anthony paused for a moment before saying, “Daddy and Mommy brought us somewhere around
here at night. My little brother was naughty and ran off. I came to look for him. Then, both of us were
lost.”
What he said made sense.
The group of men could not seem to pinpoint anything wrong in his exnation.
“Brat, don''t stop a car as you please in the future. You guys are going to be done for if you were to
bump into bad men!” the man warned as he eyed
Anthony and Benjamin again.
Anthony smiled and nodded. “All right, mister. Thank you!”
The man said nothing further as he turned to the man in the first car. “Let’s go!”
Then, he got into his car as well.
Anthony stood by the roadside and smiled as he saw them off.
After they left, Benjamin said to Anthony, “Let''s go. They''re going to realize something''s off soon.”
Anthony nodded before turning
around to leave.
“Thalia, were done,” Benjamin said into his earpiece.
Anthony put on his earpiece and asked, “How''s it going?”
“They''re on the way.”
“The people in the car... did you—”
“No. They''ve gifted us such a great present. We can''t be too cruel toward them. I just knocked them
out and left them by the roadside,” Thalia replied.
Anthony chuckled. “All right. Then we''re going to wait for you in the car.”
“Okay,” Thalia replied.
“Denise, what about you? Have you dealt with the surveince cameras on the way?”
“Don''t worry. Although I''m not as skilled as you, this is still a piece of cake to me,” Denise replied.
Anthony finally felt a heavy weight lifted off his chest when he heard that. He exchanged nces
with Benjamin as his lips curled into a smile.
“All right. We''re going back to the car,” Anthony stated before hanging up the call.

Soon, the two of them were back in the car.
Denise sat in the car and was casually keeping an eye on herptop. At the sight of her brothers
returning, she asked, “How did it go? Did you seed?”
“Thalia wille meet us when she''s done,” Anthony said.
“Is our first mission really that easy?” Denise asked.
“With the technical team and mastermind working seamlessly together, it is that easy,” Anthony
stated.
“I know, right? It might not be this easy if Daddy hadn''t interrupted our ns.” Benjamin spoke.
“Well, I guess this is fate.”
Right then, Denise frowned and asked, “What does that mean? What does this have anything to do
with Daddy?”
Benjamin then said with a smile, “The man whom Tony has been reluctant to tell us about is
Daddy!"
Denise was rendered speechless.
She widened her eyes at her big brother and eximed, “Tony! How could you do this to Daddy?”
Anthony let out a sigh. “You can''t me me for this! Daddy is the surprise factor here. They have
always been my target. I also have no idea why Daddy suddenly got involved!”
“So, the reason that you asked me to block off your numbers was that you wanted to stop Daddy?”
Denise questioned after giving it some thought.
“Oh, about this. You should ask what Benjamin had done!” Anthony threw the question over to
Benjamin right away.
Then, Denise turned to look at Benjamin.
Benjamin paused before exining, “1 had no choice. If I hadn''t lied and sent him away from the
scene, we would have failed today''s mission.”
Denise frowned, puzzled by Benjamin''s exnation. “What in the world did you guys do behind my
back?”
“You should ask Ben to exin to you,” Anthony said with a grin.
Benjamin was stumped. Meeting Denise''s curious gaze that was directed right at him, he
begrudgingly
began to exin.
