Chapter 877 Rough Words Sound Reasoning


    Magus held up his phone, his eyes deep and his gaze obscure. A momentter, he answered the


    call.


    “Hello.”


    “Where''s the stuff?” Lindon asked directly on the other side of the phone.


    “I want to have a conversation with Lina!” Magus firmly demanded.


    A cold smirk appeared at the corner of Lindon''s mouth when he heard Magus'' demand. “Magus,


    you never used to bargain with me before!”


    “Yeah, so that''s why I''ve gotten the short end of the stick, right?” Magus asked rhetorically.


    Lindon fell silent for a moment. He then continued, “Fine, you want to talk, right? Give me a


    second!”


    As he spoke, there seemed to be somemotion on the other end of the phone.


    The volume of his phone was not very low. Even through the phone, Thalia and Anthony beside him


    could hear their conversation loud and clear. However, Anthony didn''t even lift his head. His eyes


    were lowered as he was looking down at his phone, watching as the screen rapidly scrolled


    upwards, with rows and rows of numerical coding shing by.


    At that moment, a voice suddenly came through, “Go ahead, she''s listening!”


    Magus immediately asked, “Lina, how are you? Are you alright?”


    The person on the other end of the phone immediately spoke when she heard Magus'' voice.


    “Magus, no matter what he asks you to do, don''t agree to it and don''t worry about me. Go, leave as


    far away as possible. Leave this ce, leave with those people!” On the other end of the phone,


    Lina''s hysterical voice came through.


    “Lina!”


    Just as Magus was about to say something, Lindon suddenly took over the phone. “How about that,


    did you hear her?”


    “Lindon, how is Lina doing now? I''m telling you, if there''s anything wrong with her, I will never


    forgive you for my entire life!”


    This threat really didn''t mean much to him.


    Lindon chuckled indifferently. “Don''t worry, I''ll definitely take good care of her and feed her nicely.


    After all, you''re my buddy, right?”


    Buddy...


    This word was extremely ironic.


    Magus clenched his phone tightly, his knuckles turning white. “Lindon, don''t say such disgusting


    things to me. You know very well that I''d love nothing more than to chop you up piece by piece to


    vent my anger and hatred!”


    Magus'' reaction was well within Lindon''s expectations, so he didn''t show any signs of anger upon


    hearing those words. “If you want to chop me up, I''d like to see if you''re capable of doing so.


    However, right now, you definitely aren''t. Not only that, but you also have to listen to me. Whatever I


    say, you will have to obey, or else...” He paused for a few seconds, and then Lina''s screams came


    through the phone.


    “Ah—”


    Magus instantly became anxious. With furrowed brows, he suddenly shouted in a deep voice, “What


    do you want to do? Lindon, if you have any problems,e at me!”


    Hearing Magus'' anxious voice, a low yet extremely twistedughter echoed from the other end of


    the phone. “Why, feeling heartbroken already?”

    “What on earth do you want?” Magus asked through gritted teeth.


    “Don''t you know well enough what I want? It''s not as simple as those few pieces of skin!” Lindon


    replied in a mysterious tone.


    Magus clenched his fist tightly, knowing that if he refused to do as he was told now, Lina on the


    other side would undoubtedly suffer his torment.


    Clenching and unclenching his fists, Magus finally spoke after an instant, “All right, I agree to your


    terms!”


    When Lindon heard his response, he grinned in satisfaction. “That''s more like it! If you had agreed


    earlier, we wouldn''t have had to go through all these emotionally draining experiences between us!”


    “When will you let Lina go?”


    “After the job is done, I''ll definitely let her go!”


    “How can I trust you?” Magus asked.


    “Whether you choose to trust me is totally up to you. However, from my perspective, you are only


    left with one option!” Lindon replied bluntly.


    He was right. He hadpletely controlled Anthony''s weakness in his palm, so there was no need


    for him to reason, let alone exin so much. Anthony only had toply obediently.


    After thinking it over, just as Magus was about to say something, he suddenly saw Anthony holding


    up his phone toward him. ncing at the words on the screen, Magus was taken aback for a


    moment. He then asked, “When should I give you the item?”


    “Tomorrow, at the usual spot, I''ll have someone to pick it up.”


    “Come get it yourself!” Magus said, “Otherwise, I won''t give it to you.”


    “Magus, you should know that you have no right to discuss any terms with me right now!”


    “I know, Lina is in your grasp, and to dispose of her would be as simple as crushing an ant.


    However, I''m also well aware of your character. In this operation, I might not even make it out alive.


    Since death is inevitable sooner orter, what do I have to fear? If the time reallyes, I''ll just go


    and apany her. If I can''t give her anything in this life, I''ll give it to her in the next life!” Magus


    retorted, emphasizing each word.


    Lindon was slightly taken aback.


    There was no denying that he felt somewhat helpless when faced with someone who had no regard


    for their own life.


    “On the other hand, I believe, apart from me, you can''t find a more suitable person. Instead of


    focusing on the money you can get, think about a suitable way to get it!” Magus said, emphasizing


    each word.


    Lindon fell silent on the other end.


    “That''s it.” After that, without waiting for Lindon to reply, Magus directly hung up the phone.


    Clutching the phone, Magus'' hand was even trembling a bit.


    Anthony finally put away his phone when he saw Magus hang up.


    “Will this really work?” Magus asked, looking at him.


    Anthony spoke without even lifting his head, “His desire for money is even greater than your desire


    to live. So, in order to ensure the sess of his own n, he will definitelypromise!”


    Magus'' eyebrows furrowed deeply.


    At that moment, Anthony raised his eyes and nced at him. “No wonder he can take advantage of


    you. He knows you far better than you know him, by a long shot!”


    Magus was stunned speechless.


    Witnessing the situation, Thalia, who was standing nearby, quickly came to Magus'' defense.


    “Everyone has their strong and weak points. Magus just isn''t good at scheming against others. That


    is both his w and virtue.”


    “Not good at scheming against others isn''t considered a w, but not being cautious enough with


    others is your own problem!” As Anthony spoke, he looked at Magus, “With your mindset, if you


    really want to fight Lindon single-handedly, you''ll most likely end up losing!”


    Magus frowned deeply.


    “My words may be harsh, but the reasoning behind it is very solid!” Anthony said.


    Magus looked at him intently, “I wonder why you made me say that?”


    “Because we''re going to take him down directly tomorrow,” Anthony said.


    Upon hearing this, both Thalia and Magus were slightly taken aback.


    “Take him down? But didn''t you say that we can only act once we find Lina''s location?” Thalia


    asked.


    “Yeah!” Anthony nodded.


    “So you...”


    “I found it!”


    Thalia looked at him with even more astonishment, and even Magus, who was standing beside


    them, appeared to be in disbelief.


    “Where is she? Let me tell you, this is not something to brag about!”


    Anthony sighed when he heard this. “When have I ever boasted to you?”


    Thalia thought carefully. “It seems like you really never...”


    Magus immediately asked, “So, where is she?”


    Anthony quickly tapped on his phone a few times, then pointed the screen toward them. He


    whispered quietly, “She''s within 50 meters.”
