Chapter 352


    Surprisingly, after Denise heard everything, she was silent for a moment before saying, “Tony, the


    two of you-”


    “No! It''s the three of us now.” Before she couldplete her sentence, Anthony cut in and


    emphasized, “We are in it together now.”


    Denise frowned and said, “I wasn''t aware of anything.”


    “That’s not the point. The point is that without you, we won''t be able to aplish our mission


    today!” Anthony proimed.


    Denise was rendered speechless.


    It was true that she was involved too, albeit unwittingly.


    However, that was the truth.


    At that moment, Anthony looked at her and said, “Denise, there will be more of such scenarios in


    the future. If Daddy doesn''t retire for good, such situations wille up again and again.”


    Denise was very worried. “Aren''t we making Daddy our enemy?”


    Anthony thought about it before responding, “We won’t. I won''t let things go that far. I also believe


    Daddy won''t allow that to happen.”


    “Really?” asked Denise.


    Anthony nodded and assured her, “I promise you.”


    Denise seemed more at ease and smiled as she looked at her brother. Even though Anthony was


    only a few seconds older than her, she had always hadplete trust in him for some strange


    reasons.


    “Okay!” she nodded.


    Benjamin asked, “You''re not mad anymore?”


    “I''m not mad. I understand that we have to draw the line somewhere. I''m only worried that Daddy


    will be mad,” said Denise.


    After pondering what his sister had said, Benjamin smiled. “Daddy isn''t that petty. But, if he really


    gets angry, then let Mommy handle him.”


    Deniseughed when she heard that. “That''s true.”


    “Now that we have reached an agreement on this matter, we must keep it a secret,” said Benjamin.


    Denise responded immediately, “Of course! I won''t want to destroy my cute and obedient image in


    Daddy''s heart.”


    If Daddy finds out that we are all...


    They could not imagine the consequences.


    Benjamin looked at his sister affectionately and rubbed her head. “Yes, you''re the best!”


    Anthony could not help butment, “It looks like even Ben has been blinded by his love for you.”


    Denise pouted. “Tony, you''re annoying.”


    Anthony didn''t say anything in response. Instead, he just gave his sister a smile and adjusted his


    posture.


    At that moment, Benjamin spoke. “I think we should get our stories straight.”


    “What stories?”


    “The phone call today,” reminded Benjamin.


    When that topic was brought up, Anthony asked, “What do you mean?”


    Benjamin gave it some thought before answering, “Daddy must be looking for us right now. Once


    Thalia gets back, we''ll ask her to drop me off at a public area. I will then phone Daddy and ask him


    to pick me up.”


    Anthony agreed to his n. “Good idea.”


    It was then Denise spoke faintly. “If I had known this earlier on, I would have phoned Daddy. That


    way, he woulde to pick me up and bring me to grab some delicious food.”


    That would be wonderful.


    Anthony and Benjamin exchanged nces, and the former eximed, “If you were the one who


    made that phone call, you would have sold us “Is that what you think of me?” questioned Denise.


    Anthony answered her question with another question, “What do you think of yourself?”


    Denise thought about it and retorted, “I''m not that kind of person!”


    Anthony merely chuckled and did not say anything else.


    Once the two of them stopped arguing, Benjamin grinned and asked Anthony, “Tony, Denise, if


    Daddy asks, we have to make sure we tell him the same thing. Just say that Thalia has brought us


    out, but we got lost. The two of you don’t have your phones with you, so I’m the only one who can


    call him.”


    Denise sounded doubtful. “But, will Daddy buy our story?”


    “He won''t have a choice as long as the three of us say the same thing,” said Benjamin.


    Anthony spoke. “We''ll do as you say since we haven''t found a better solution.”


    The three nodded in agreement.


    Half an hourter, Thalia came back.


    She was in high spirits when she got into the car.


    Although she had been up for most of the night, she still looked radiant.


    Anthony looked at her and asked, “How did it go?”

    Thalia replied, “Don’t worry. There won''t be any problem.”


    Only then did Anthony nod in relief.


    “Where are we going to next?” asked Thalia.


    “We''ll find a crowded area and leave Benjamin there.”


    Thalia knew they probably hade up with a strategy when she recalled their phone call to


    Keh a few moments ago. She nodded. “All right.”


    Thereafter, she started the engine and drove off.


    On the way there, Thalia could not help but smile from ear to ear.


    Anthony looked at her in puzzlement and asked, “Why are you smiling?”


    Thalia chuckled. “This is my first time executing a nonbat mission. I can''t believe that the


    money I earned from this mission is higher than those that are life-threatening.”


    At that moment, Anthony smiled proudly. “Truth be told, in the future, money wille to those who


    are brainy.”


    Thalia permitted him to enjoy his moment of pride for a while.


    After all, they did seed.


    Moreover, the money they earned from the mission was substantial.


    It still felt like a dream to Thalia.


    Just then, Anthony looked at her and asked, “Why do I seem to detect a hint of disbelief and shock


    in your eyes?”


    Thalia did not deny it. Instead, she went on and said, “Yes. When you told me about this yesterday, I


    didn''t think that we are going to seed. I came hoping that the three of you can gain some


    experience from this mission. Regardless of the oue, I wanted all of you to understand how this


    gray area operates, and that the world isn''t as simple as you think it is.”


    “And then?” Benjamin asked.


    Thalia smiled and replied, “Until now, it still feels like a dream to me.’


    That hadpletely gone against all the knowledge that she had umted over her past


    missions.


    In that instant, Anthony was looking smug as he sat cross-legged. “To be honest, it''s nothing. As


    long as every member of the team is able to unleash their full potential, the team will be able to


    execute its mission. Combined with intellectual talents, it won''t be difficult to seed in anything.”


    In the end, Anthony still credited the sess of the mission to himself.


    Thalia nced at him before saying, “Are you blowing your own trumpet?”


    Anthony gave a slight smile. “Quite obviously, yes!”


    Both Benjamin and Denise rolled their eyes at him.


    Anthony, however, ignored thempletely and continued to indulge in hiscency.


    Outstanding individuals like myself can''t help but attract jealousy!


    The car moved along slowly.


    Just then, something popped up in


    Anthony''s mind, and he asked Thalia, “By the way, do you have the means to sell those goods?”


    “Of course. That''s no problem at all.”


    “Then, I will leave that to you.”


    Thalia asked, “What do you intend to tell Kyle?”


    Anthony was taken aback when he heard her query. “For the time being, don''t let Kyle know about


    this matter.”


    Thalia was startled. “He has no idea what has happened?” “To be honest, he is against us doing


    this,” said Anthony with a wry smile.


    “So, this isn''t a mission of Darz? It''s a personal mission?”


    “Back when I asked you for your help, I have never imed that it was a Darz mission.”


    Thalia was rendered speechless.


    Holy crap''. I''m being fooled by him again''.
