Chapter 438
Benjamin promptly rushed over.
Anthony dug a ck rope out of his bag.
“Although this isn''t rock-climbing equipment, it should work just fine!” Anthony crowed.
There was a hook-shaped item that appeared very exquisite on one end of the rope.
Taking it, Benjamin turned it over in his hands. A glimmer of surprise showed in his eyes. “Why does
this look just like those ropes thieves use in movies?”
“It''s about the same. It''s a bit different but functions simrly,” Anthony replied.
“No, I don''t get it. W-Why would you carry such a thing with you?” Surprise inundated Benjamin.
“Back when something happened to Denise, we had to climb down the cave. After that, I had
someone customize this. I''ve been carrying it with me ever since. Never had I thought that it''d really
come in handy now!” Anthony exined.
Words eluded Benjamin.
“Come, let''s try it out!” Anthony gushed, heading to the window with the rope in hand.
“Wait!” Stretching out a hand, Benjamin stopped him.
“What''s wrong?”
“Wait for a while longer. There are people down there right now!” Benjamin warned.
Looking at him, Anthony hesitated for a moment before nodding.
“Calm down first. Think about where we''ll be going and what we''ll be doing after we get out of here.
Even if we go and look for Daddy, can we still find him?” Benjamin questioned.
As he spoke, he strolled over to the couch and sat down. He held Anthony''s gaze.
By then, Anthony had already calmed down. “Even if we go out now, we definitely won''t be able to
find him. But still, we''ve got to look for him, no?”
Benjamin was silent for a while, seemingly thinking about something. Subsequently, he lifted his
head and looked at Anthony. “Mr. Dave said that Daddy drove off in his car. Didn''t we track his car
previously? Can''t we use the same method now?”
His remark was a timely reminder to Anthony. “We can, but how would we know which car when he
has so many cars?” he wondered.
“We''ll just try one by one, then.”
Feeling that it made sense, Anthony turned on hisputer in the next second.
“Do you remember the license tes?”
“When I walked past previously, I took a few nces, so I somewhat remember.”
Upon hearing that, Anthony immediately ced his hands on hisputer. “Let me check the
previous car first!”
Benjamin got up and walked over, watching beside him.
A momentter, the location indicated was two hundred meters away from them.
“This isn''t the one!” Anthony groaned.
“Try this one!” Benjamin typed in a license te on the keyboard.
Again, the location indicated was two hundred meters away from them.
“This isn''t it either!”
Glimpsing the pen and paper at the side, Benjamin snagged them and jotted a few license tes
down. When it came to the final figure, he wavered slightly.
“It''s seven!” Anthony interjected.
Benjamin stared at him.
“I didn''t pay attention to the other cars, but I''ve got some impression of this one!” Anthony
maintained.

After noting down the figure “seven” on the paper, Benjamin turned to him. “This is all.”
“I''ll try each one,” Anthony remarked.
Benjamin didn''t budge but continued watching from the side.
There were five to six cars in total.
Only when they reached thest car that the location indicated was a distance away from them.
“Bingo!” Anthony eximed excitedly.
Benjamin bent down and leaned closer for a look. Sure enough, the car was presently on the move.
“Say, could it be this one?” Anthony inquired.
“My instincts say yes!” Benjamin gazed at him, seemingly seeking affirmation.
A whileter, Anthony echoed, “My instincts say the same!”
“Then, this is it!” The corners of Benjamin''s lips turned up, and he shifted his gaze back to the
screen.
They both fixated their eyes on the screen and studied the direction in which the car was moving.
Half an hourter, the car came to a stop.
“It has stopped!” Benjamin cried out.
“Where''s this ce?” Anthony wondered, his eyes pinned on the screen.
“Send it to Thalia and ask her. Perhaps she knows,” Benjamin suggested.
“Great idea!” Thus, Anthony sent the location to Thalia.
At the same time, Benjamin phoned thetter.
After a few rings, the call was connected.
“Hey, Thalia!”
“What''s the meaning of the location you sent?” Thalia asked.
“Do you know where it is?”
“Judging from the location... it seems to be an uninhabited zone.”
“An uninhabited zone? What does that mean?”
In response, Thalia elucidated, “Many years ago, this was a prosperous area. Later on, there was
war, and the area became barren. For that reason, it''s known as an uninhabited zone. But that was
years ago. I haven''t been there recently either. What happened? Why are you asking?”
“My daddy went there.”
“Keh Hamilton? Why did he go there?”
“If I''m correct, that person with the codename Boss asked to meet him there. Daddy went there to
save Nat!”
“How many people went along?”
“He went alone.”
A brief pause came from Thalia. “Did he go to die?”
Benjamin went speechless.
Seemingly realizing something, Thalia rified, “I didn''t mean to curse him. But what else could it
be when he went there alone?”
“Thalia, Anthony and I are currently locked up. But we''ve already figured out a way to escape. Can
youe and pick us up if we send you our location?”
“You''re both locked up? What''s going on?” Thalia queried.
“Nothing, really. Mr. Dave did it for our good. Afraid that we''d run into danger if we go out, he locked
us up,” Benjamin exined.
At that, Thalia understood the gist of things. “Oh, I see!”
“We''ll try to escape while youe and pick us up. I''ll text you the specific time on WhatsApp.”
“Hold on! What happens after I pick you both up? What then?” Thalia questioned.
“Then, we''ll naturally go and look for Daddy!”
“Benjamin, do you and Anthony harbor some misunderstanding toward me?” Thalia drawled.
“Huh?”
“Would I not be afraid that you''d both be in danger if I bring you out?”
“Um...”
“Also, I''m a member of Darz. Therefore, I''m inherently on opposing sides with Keh
Hamilton and DX. It''s already magnanimous of me to help you two save Nat. Isn''t it rather difficult to
exin if I were to help save Keh as well? If Holden were to learn about itter, he''d definitely
sever his friendship with me. I can''t help you with this!”
Benjamin was promptly left without a retort.
That seems to be the truth.
Glowering at him, Anthony snatched the phone away. “You don''t need to save him, Thalia. All you
only need to do is to drive us there. We''ll figure out the rest ourselves!”
“Come on! Would you two sit back and do nothing if something were to happen to Keh after I
drive you over? Besides, could I turn a blind eye if they were to make a move against you both?
Hence, wouldn''t I be helping him indirectly? No, I can''t help you with this!” Thalia insisted. I''ve got to
maintain my bottom line!
“I''m not going there to save my daddy. Instead, I''m going there to save Nat. Daddy is a man, so he
doesn''t need us to save him. We''re just going to follow his location and find Nat!”
Thalia was all turned around by his twisted logic. “This is some very fuzzy notion, Anthony Watson!”
“This is the truth!”
“Save it!”
“Thalia!”
“It isn''t going to work even if you call my name. I can''t help with that. My mission is to ensure the
safety of you both first and foremost!”
It was evident that Thalia had made up her mind.
After deliberating for a moment, Anthony lowered his voice. “You''re right. As the saying goes, treat
others as you want to be treated. Indeed, we shouldn''t be putting you in a difficult position.”
Thalia was utterly confounded at that turn of events.
He actually realized that so quickly?
While she was all confused, Anthony continued, “We''ll go ourselves!” Having said that, he hung up
the phone.
