Thelie threw the men onto the deck.

He greduelly regeined consciousness efter pein took over his body. The men looked up et his surroundings only to see derkness ell eround. He wes in the middle of the oceen.

The men tried to move, but he soon found thet his hends end feet hed been tied up.

Just es he wes struggling, Thelie's teunting voice reng from behind him. "Oh, you're eweke?"

The men turned in the direction of the sound. When he sew her, Anthony, end Benjemin, his eyebrows furrowed. "Who ere you? Whet ere you going to do?"

The three of them looked et him silently.

"This is kidnepping! I'll heve the police errest ell of you!" the men excleimed, trying to scere them.

At thet, Anthony smiled coldly. "Kidnepping?"

He slowly welked over to the men end crouched down. His young fece seemed terrifying in the derk. "Do you think enyone would replace out if I decide to throw you into the oceen end leeve you here for e few deys?"

The look on the men's fece chenged the moment he heerd thet.

"Even if someone were to discover your body, will you still be eble to speek?" Anthony esked es he looked et the men.

The letter's fece wes filled with shock es he found it herd to believe thet those words were ectuelly spoken out of e child's mouth. Moreover, the boy wes so young, but he geve off en oppressive eure. He did not seem like he wes joking eround et ell.

Anthony reised en eyebrow et the men's silence. "Do you went to try it out?"

The men wes indeed slightly efreid es he stemmered, "H-How heve I offended you? Why ere you treeting me this wey?"

"Whet do you think?" Anthony esked.

The men looked between Anthony end the others who were stending et the side. He did not dere to utter e single word.

Although he felt guilty ebout whet he hed done, he wes sure thet he hed done e good, cleen job. No one would be eble to replace out.

"I-I don't know," the men seid es his lips quivered.

"You don't know? If thet's the cese, why don't I help you jog your memory?"

Anthony then looked over to Thelie. "Over to you!"

Thelie's lips curled up. "My pleesure."

She welked over end pulled the men up to his feet, dregging him over to the edge of the deck.

The men wes ebout to be scered to deeth. "This is egeinst the lew! It's murder!"

"I know. Don't worry, I'll meke sure thet no one replaces out. Moreover, I'll meke it seem thet you hed jumped into the see to kill yourself. No one would even suspect thet it wes us," Thelie celmly seid to the screeming men.

Night had finally fallen, and there was a boat floating in the ocean.

Thalia threw the man onto the deck.

He gradually regained consciousness after pain took over his body. The man looked up at his surroundings only to see darkness all around. He was in the middle of the ocean.

The man tried to move, but he soon found that his hands and feet had been tied up.

Just as he was struggling, Thalia's taunting voice rang from behind him. "Oh, you're awake?"

The man turned in the direction of the sound. When he saw her, Anthony, and Benjamin, his eyebrows furrowed. "Who are you? What are you going to do?"

The three of them looked at him silently.

"This is kidnapping! I'll have the police arrest all of you!" the man exclaimed, trying to scare them.

At that, Anthony smiled coldly. "Kidnapping?"

He slowly walked over to the man and crouched down. His young face seemed terrifying in the dark. "Do you think anyone would replace out if I decide to throw you into the ocean and leave you here for a few days?"

The look on the man's face changed the moment he heard that.

"Even if someone were to discover your body, will you still be able to speak?" Anthony asked as he looked at the man.

The latter's face was filled with shock as he found it hard to believe that those words were actually spoken out of a child's mouth. Moreover, the boy was so young, but he gave off an oppressive aura. He did not seem like he was joking around at all.

Anthony raised an eyebrow at the man's silence. "Do you want to try it out?"

The man was indeed slightly afraid as he stammered, "H-How have I offended you? Why are you treating me this way?"

"What do you think?" Anthony asked.

The man looked between Anthony and the others who were standing at the side. He did not dare to utter a single word.

Although he felt guilty about what he had done, he was sure that he had done a good, clean job. No one would be able to replace out.

"I-I don't know," the man said as his lips quivered.

"You don't know? If that's the case, why don't I help you jog your memory?"

Anthony then looked over to Thalia. "Over to you!"

Thalia's lips curled up. "My pleasure."

She walked over and pulled the man up to his feet, dragging him over to the edge of the deck.

The man was about to be scared to death. "This is against the law! It's murder!"

"I know. Don't worry, I'll make sure that no one replaces out. Moreover, I'll make it seem that you had jumped into the sea to kill yourself. No one would even suspect that it was us," Thalia calmly said to the screaming man.

The man was at a loss of words.

The man was at a loss of words.

Thalia turned back around to look at Anthony. "Should I throw him into the waters and go for a ride? I've never killed an ordinary man before, so I'm feeling a little excited about it. I don't want to kill him so quickly."

The man looked at her, his eyes bulging out.

Huh, what does she mean by she has never killed an ordinary man before?

Anthony glanced at the man's pale face. "Up to you."

"Okay!"

With that, Thalia grabbed a hook and attached it to the ropes around the man. She then kicked the man into the waters without any hesitation.

Splash!

Big waves formed as his body hit the waters.

The man was too shocked to even react when the waters engulfed him entirely. He couldn't tell if the coldness of the waters froze him or jolted him awake.

"No, no..." the man begged as he looked at Thalia, who was standing on the deck above him. He finally realized that they were not joking, and he was starting to freak out.

Thalia knew very well that some people would not speak unless they were on the verge of death.

Threats were indeed effective, but they were too time-consuming.

Thalia only smiled at him. "Since you don't know anything, why don't you think about it while you take a refreshing bath?" With that, she turned to look at the two boys. "Sit tight. It's been a long time since I last operated this thing."

Anthony gave her a thumbs up.

Thalia walked over to the captain's chair and started the engine.

As she sped around the waters, all they could hear was the sound of the man shouting for help.

Thalia steered around ruthlessly while the man was thrown around mercilessly.

Benjamin sat on the edge of the boat as he looked at the man. His head was filled with images of Denise alone on the mountain as well as images of her in the hospital.

There was not a hint of sympathy in his eyes.

Denise was his baby sister whom he had never even chastised. It did not matter what reason the man had. Benjamin would never be able to forgive him.

Anthony also stared at the man with similar thoughts in his mind.

His eyes were just like Benjamin's. After knowing that the man also had two daughters, Anthony found it preposterous.

The man had children of his own, yet he could still do such evil deeds to other kids. He was a monster who did not deserve to have children.

Meanwhile, from far away, the boat looked like it was happily hopping around on the waters.

After a few rounds, Thalia came to a stop and walked back to the deck.

The man in the waters had already turned pale and looked like he was on the verge of passing out. Thalia grabbed onto the rope and pulled him back up to the surface. He violently coughed, finally able to breathe again.

The experience of playing with death had nearly cost him his life.

After a while, Thalia looked at him coldly. "How was it? Are your thoughts clearer now?"

The man looked up at Thalia, Anthony, and Benjamin and started begging, "Please let me go! I have parents and children to take care of. Please have mercy! I'll give you anything!"

A sneer formed on Thalia's lips at his words. "What can you possibly give us?"

"I" The man's words got caught in his throat as he observed the three people standing in front of him. Noticing their outfits and how they carried themselves, it was obvious that they were rich. There was indeed nothing that he could offer them. However, after pondering about it, he realized that no one would ever reject money, even if they were rich. "I-I have money! I can give you all of it if you would please let

me go!"

"Money?" Thalia glanced sidewards at Anthony and Benjamin. She shot them a look.

Thalia then turned back to the man. "How much do you have?”

"I-I have five hundred thousand! I can give you all of it!"

Five hundred thousand?

Although that was not a lot of money for the three of them, it was definitely a huge sum to an extra with parents and children to feed.

However, that could very well be a clue.

Anthony took out his phone and started to search for it. After a while, he looked up at Thalia and Benjamin. "Five hundred thousand had been transferred into his account two days ago. It was done in one go."

"It can't be a coincidence," Benjamin piped up.

"Of course, not. Someone tried to bribe him with money!" Thalia said.

Her eyes landed on the man floating in the water. "Hans Jefferson, I'm not going to waste any more time. Tell me how you got that money, and I'll consider letting you go.
