Chapter 1089 Just A Figure To Me


    After a moment of contemtion, Anthony said, “All right, I agree to your request.”


    “Aren''t you going to ask me how much I want?” the young man asked.


    With a light chuckle, Anthony walked over. He pulled out a chair and sat right in front of him. “No


    matter the amount, it''s just a figure to me.”


    Thalia was rendered speechless.


    Looking at him at that moment, she somewhat felt that he had been possessed by Keh.


    I know your family is wealthy. But is there really a need to show off like this?


    She nced at him before shifting her gaze to the young man across from her and said, “Why are


    you spacing about? He''s not joking with you. He has plenty of the item you want.”


    The young man studied Anthony, realizing once more that he shouldn''t judge a book by its cover.


    “Stop dragging your feet. Are you going to speak up or not?” Thalia''s patience was already wearing


    thin by that point.


    The young man gradually snapped back his senses. He nced at Thalia. “Didn''t I say I would


    talk?” As he spoke, he nced at the gun pressed against him. “Could you take it away? It''s scaring


    me.”


    Thalia threw a look at him. Without saying anything, she promptly put her gun away.


    Upon seeing that, the young man finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    “The situation is such. About the matter you asked about, I indeed have some recollection...” the


    young man began slowly with his eyes on them. But upon seeing them listen attentively, he


    unexpectedly shot up and dashed toward the door.


    However, just as he had jumped to his feet and was about to run, Thalia seemed to have


    anticipated it. With a swift stretch of her leg, he tripped and went facedown.


    A loud thud rang out as the young man fell heavily onto the ground.


    At that, a sneer crept onto Thalia''s face. She then walked over and stomped a leg right onto his


    back. “Punk, I have yed that trick of yours from young.”


    The young many sprawled on the ground, remaining motionless for a long time.


    Right then, Thalia looked up and nced at Anthony. “What''s the n now? Do we beat him into


    confessing or kill him outright?”


    Anthony narrowed his eyes. Then, he walked toward the young man and crouched down before


    him. “Actually, whether you talk is no longer important to us. If we can''t learn the truth, you are the


    truth. The contents of yourputer can serve as evidence. Since you want to be a scapegoat for


    someone else, I''ll oblige!”


    While saying that, he cast a look at Thalia. “Just kill him. I''ve already backed up everything on the


    computer. We''ll have something to report back.”


    Hearing that, Thalia nodded. “Okay.”


    “I''ll wait for you outside.” With that, Anthony turned around and headed out.


    Admittedly, as the young many on the ground, Anthony''s final utterance moved him deeply.


    I simply did a task for someone else and didn''t think much about the consequences!


    With that thought in mind, he immediately called out at Anthony''s retreating figure. “Wait! Wait a


    moment!”


    Anthony halted in his tracks, turning back to look at him.


    “I''m talk, I''ll talk!” the man eximed repeatedly.


    Anthony chuckled softly. “No, it''s okay. I don''t have the patience for this anymore. Besides, I won''t


    be able to tell whether you''re speaking the truth. So, you might as well y the scapegoat!”


    “No, no, no!” The young man hastily shook his head, a mix of Chanaean and Ustranian streaming


    out of his mouth. “No, that''s not it! I will speak the truth! I''m serious! Please believe me!”


    “No, it''s okay.”


    “Y-You''re here for someone named Keh Hamilton, aren''t you?” the young promptly cried out, his


    eyes locked on Anthony''s back.


    At the mention of Keh''s name, Anthony''s heart skipped a beat.


    “I can tell you the truth. I''ll tell you everything!” the young man said, his eyes still on Anthony''s back.


    Seeing that, Thalia immediately grabbed him by the back and hoisted him up. Then, with a swift


    backward swing, she sent him tumbling back into his chair. Nonchntly pulling another chair over,


    she effectively trapped him in ce.


    “Ahh!”


    With two chairs crushing his legs between them, the young man howled in pain.


    Thalia, on the other hand, appearedpletely unconcerned. She casually took a seat nearby.


    Crossing her legs, she looked at him with a rxed and elegant demeanor. “Shut up!”


    Upon hearing that, the young man immediately forced himself to zip his mouth.


    “I''m giving you onest chance. If you don''t talk properly, don''t me me for showing you no


    mercy,” Thalia said softly.


    At that, the young man nodded profusely.

    “Have a seat and give him another chance!” Thalia beckoned at Anthony, seemingly offering him a


    way out.


    The two of them worked together perfectly.


    Following that, Anthony also took a seat across from the young man.


    After pulling through the pain, the young man looked at Anthony. “This is how things went. One


    night a week ago, I received a private message. Someone came to me with a photo of a man


    named Keh Hamilton, asking if I had seen him before.”


    Anthony looked at him. “And then?”


    “That man...” The young man seemed somewhat hesitant. He observed Anthony and Thalia as if


    weighing things in his mind.


    “You''ve seen him before?”


    The young man immediately shook his head. “No, no. I''ve never seen him!”


    “If so, why would you ask others with a new ount?” Anthony asked in return.


    “May I ask you a question?” the young man ventured timidly, looking at Thalia and Anthony.


    “What do you think?” Thalia retorted.


    It was evident that Anthony and Thalia didn''t intend to say anything, so the young man steeled


    himself and divulged, “I have never seen the man in the flesh, but I knew of him from a decade


    ago!”


    Speaking of that, both Anthony and Thalia were momentarily taken aback.


    “Go on.” Anthony fixed his eyes on the young man.


    “It''s like this... A decade ago, I was an intermediary. That is to say, I was responsible for helping


    people ept jobs, thereby earning amission from them.”


    “Get to the point!” Anthony stared at him.


    “The point is, a decade ago, I received an assignment. That assignment was to find someone


    skilled in disguise to disguise as the man in the photo.”


    Upon hearing that, Anthony bore his eyes into the young man. “Do you still remember when, the


    exact date and ce? How did you guysmunicate?”


    “I''ll have to think about the exact date, but I remember it was summer. As for how we


    communicated, it was naturally through the inte!” the young man replied.


    Summer... It just so happens that the incident involving Daddy and Holden''s girlfriend also took


    ce during summer. This absolutely couldn''t have been a coincidence!


    Anthony looked at him. “Who was the client? And did the person mention his intention?”


    “Generally, our kind of business operates in the shadows. Naturally, we avoid asking too many


    questions. Therefore, I certainly wouldn''t ask a client his intention in using our services. As for his


    identity, I have no idea.”


    Upon hearing that, Anthony frowned.


    Beside him, Thalia interjected in a drawl at that precise moment, “So, you''ve talked at length, but it''s


    all useless?”


    “But that''s all I know,” the young man said.


    Thalia let out a coldugh. “If that''s the case, why would you still be so invested in this matter after


    all this time, even going as far as creating a new ount to ask when you saw someone else


    asking about it?”


    “I... I just felt that it was too much of a coincidence. I was also afraid of arousing suspicion. So, I


    changed to a new ount to ask!” the young man exined, looking them in the eye.
