Chapter 685


    Thalia went in and scanned her surroundings. In the end, her gazended on one of the corners.


    Needless to say, Thalia was slightly stunned when she saw Natasha.


    Thalia quickly racked her brain, but she couldn''te up with an answer.


    Meanwhile, Natasha looked back at her, lifted her hand, and waved at Thalia with a smile.


    Seeing that, Thalia pondered for a moment before approaching Natasha.


    While looking at Natasha, Thalia asked, “Why are you here?”


    “I was waiting for you,” Natasha replied tly.


    Thalia took a deep breath and gazed at Natasha. “Did Anthony ask you toe—” Thalia paused


    because she saw a phone on the table. Right away, her gaze darkened, and she was visibly


    shaken.


    She then looked at Natasha and shifted her gaze back toward the phone again. After a while, she


    walked up to Natasha and asked, “How did that phonee into your possession?”


    “What do you think?” Natasha responded with another question.


    Thalia stared at Natasha and said, “This phone needs to be customized through a special channel.


    It is only customized for certain people, so not everyone can have it. Moreover, Anthony doesn''t


    know about this channel...”


    Natasha kept mum and let Thalia analyze her way through.


    “Could it be Keh? However, he didn''t get his phone through this specific channel. Besides, you


    don''t need such a powerful phone...” As Thalia was talking, she raised her gaze toward Natasha. All


    of a sudden, an unbelievable idea came to her mind.


    “Are you Shadow Seeker?” Thalia asked.


    Natasha''s expression was calm, but she was wearing a faint smile. Although she didn''t utter a


    single word, it seemed as though her silence had spoken for her.


    “How could this be?” The corners of Thalia''s mouth twitched. This is absurd!


    “How could it not?” Natasha asked.


    Natasha''s question had confirmed Thalia''s spection.


    “Are you really...” Thalia was in disbelief.


    Natasha then suddenly reached out her hand and said, “Let me reintroduce myself. I''m Shadow


    Seeker. Nice to meet you, Thalia.”


    Thalia was rendered speechless. In fact, her mind was buzzing when she heard those words. Why


    does this feel surprising and normal at the same time? Could it be because I''ve known her for such


    a long time? Is that why I''m not weirded out?


    While staring at Natasha''s hand, Thalia slowly reached out her hand as well for a handshake.


    In response, Natasha smiled at her.


    Right then, Thalia regained her senses and asked, “Wait... Isn''t Shadow Seeker a man?”


    “Who said so?”


    “Everyone said so! Besides, ording to your profile, you''re a man!”


    “I wrote that on a whim,” Natasha replied.


    “That''s why I couldn''t find you no matter where I looked! I''ve wasted three years of my life!” Thalia


    eximed.


    “I''m sorry, but I didn''t mean to fool you. I did it to protect myself.” Natasha smiled.


    Thalia was in the same industry, so she definitely could rte.


    After giving a nod, Thalia looked at Natasha and said, “I understand. So, are you really not going to


    consider joining Darz? Kyle said as long as you''re willing to join Darz, you can name


    whatever conditions you want!”


    “Why are you still thinking about recruiting for Darz now?” Natasha asked. They were sitting


    opposite each other as though they had been friends with each other for years.


    Thalia lowered her gaze and smiled. “Darz has been kind to me. In my eyes, it''s like a home. I


    think it''s only right for me to be concerned about my family.”


    Natasha heard what Thalia said and nodded. “However, I still hold on to the words I said. I''m not


    joining any organization now, and I''ll never will!”


    Thalia took a deep breath upon hearing that. “All right. I figured you would say so. I didn''t believe


    you then, but I do now. I''ve already given up hope.”


    Natasha chuckled and exined, “I''m sorry, but I''ve already promised Grandpa not to get involved


    in that industry. Prior to this, I did it because I was looking for my father. After that, I stopped getting


    myself involved in such activities.”


    “I understand. Still, it''s such a shame. It''s a great loss for the hackers''munity.” Thalia nodded.


    “You have a never-ending supply of geniuses in this industry. Soon, you''ll have new talents


    emerging.” Natasha smiled.


    “Be that as it may, no one can ever reach Shadow Seeker''s height.”


    Natasha merely smiled in response.


    “It''s all right, though. Even with you out of the picture, there''s still Anthony...” Thalia paused the


    moment she mentioned Anthony. She couldn''t help but feel dejected when she recalled Anthony''s


    retreating figure that day.


    Obviously, Natasha knew what was on Thalia''s mind. “Anthony was disappointed and angry after he


    left that day.”


    “Was he?” Thalia asked with an awkward look in her eyes.


    “I knew you had good intentions, and I think he''lle around,” Natasha answered.


    Upon hearing that, Thalia lowered her gaze and mumbled, “I didn''t do it for his own good, so I don''t


    need him toe around...”


    Natasha didn''t dwell on the conflict between Thalia and Anthony. Instead, Natasha looked at Thalia


    and said, “Thalia, trust me. You''re going to be fine. You surely will.”


    “Yes. I hope so.” Thalia shed a smile.


    “Well, follow me back!” Natasha urged.


    Thalia froze for a second when she heard that. “No. Since I''ve already left, I don''t n to go back.”


    “Thalia...”


    “I''ve already made up my mind.” Thalia''s eyes reflected her firm resolve.


    “Thalia, I don''t know what happened between you and Spencer, but you shouldn''t put yourself in


    danger!”

    Thalia''s eyes darted from side to side before she curled her lips into a smile. “Don''t worry. I''m not


    putting my life in danger. I''ve always been one to appreciate my life. It''s just that I have other ns


    in mind.”


    Other ns? Natasha noticed the keywords in Thalia''s sentence. Upon seeing the smile on Thalia''s


    face, Natasha couldn''t help but frown.


    After a while, Natasha''s gaze turned stern when she asked, “Are you nning to look for Boss on


    your own?”


    Thalia''s eyshes quivered slightly, and she looked at Natasha in bafflement. I didn''t even say


    anything. How did Natasha know what was on my mind?


    “No. Why would I do that?” Thalia denied.


    “Thalia, your eyes are telling me you''re lying.”


    Thalia went quiet.


    “You can''t go!” Natasha advised.


    “Why not?” Thalia looked at Natasha.


    Although Thalia knew she could be exposed by asking that, she didn''t bother.


    In response, Natasha took a deep breath and chose to voice her concern without raising suspicion.


    “Now, Boss knows I''m the only one being poisoned. Hence, that''s a disadvantage during the


    negotiation. If he finds out that you''re poisoned as well, he''s most probably going to ckmail the


    entire Darz. Are you willing to risk everyone in Darz?”


    Thalia narrowed her eyes after hearing Natasha''s analysis.


    “Thalia, listen to me. Don''t act rashly,” Natasha enunciated.
