Chapter 805 Avoid Stirring Up Trouble

After Thalia left, the few of them continued eating.

Miguel inched closer to Anthony and asked, "Master, who exactly are we looking for?"

"Someone," Anthony answered.

Miguel asked further, "Who is it?"

"The person you drew!"

"Did that person offend you?" Miguel probed further.

Anthony gazed at him and responded nonchalantly, "Nope."

"So..."

"Do you really want to know the answer? Or are you asking for someone?" Anthony questioned him.

Upon hearing that, Miguel immediately raised his hand and denied it. "Master, even though I report to Dave, you're still my master. I'll not do anything that will betray you."

"So you won't tell Mr. Dave about it?" Anthony needed his assurance.

"Absolutely not!"

"What if he pressed you for an update?"

"Over my dead body!"

Anthony burst into laughter.

"Master, Dave was just pulling your leg. He has never instructed me to keep an eye on you," Miguel explained.

Anthony took a sidelong glance at the surroundings but kept mum.

"I'm just worried about the consequences of me accidentally releasing him. It would be disastrous if the person were your enemy. That's why I need to know what I'm allowed to do in certain critical situations," Miguel added.

What he said made sense.

The fact that Anthony was willing to take him along showed that he had nothing to hide. He then turned his attention to Miguel and said, "I want to form a team, and I want that person to be on it. That's why I came here to look for him."

Miguel nodded after falling into deep thought upon hearing that. "Got it."

"So when he appears, don't hurt him," Anthony reminded.

Miguel bobbed his head in response. "All right."

Just when Anthony was about to take another bite of his food, Miguel voiced another question, "What kind of team are you planning to form, Master?"

"I'd like to keep that a secret for now," Anthony uttered.

Hearing that response, Miguel nodded. "All right then. You're my master, and nothing's gonna change that, no matter what sort of team you're forming."

Anthony remained silent and continued munching on his food.

In the meantime, Denise kept glancing outside in hopes of spotting Thalia.

She could not help but knit her brows as the woman had not returned even after it had been a while.

"What's wrong?" asked Benjamin, sensing that she was worried.

"Thalia has been out for some time now but hasn't returned. Do you think something could have happened to her?" Denise asked.

"Of course not. Thalia has traveled far and wide. Who could possibly harm her?" Benjamin replied reassuringly. Despite his words, he still pulled out his phone to give her a call.

Yet, after the phone rang several times, Benjamin's brows creased with worry.

"What's the matter?" Anthony asked.

"No one's answering the call," Benjamin said.

Everyone could not help but frown.

"Should I go and take a look?" Miguel asked.

Anthony replied, "That won't be necessary. Thalia can take good care of herself. If you leave, it'll just be the three of us left at the table, and if something happens, it could be problematic."

Miguel nodded in acknowledgment.

"Keep calling Thalia," Anthony suggested.

Once again, Benjamin picked up his phone. Right as he was about to make another call, Thalia walked in.

"Thalia's back!" Denise noticed her from a distance.

Everyone looked in Thalia's direction.

As soon as she walked in, they noticed something different about her, but they could not quite pinpoint what it was.

"Thalia, did you fight with someone?" Denise asked.

"How did you know?" Thalia asked back.

Denise responded by helping smooth an errant lock of Thalia's hair. Thalia pressed her lips together and answered with a hum. "Yes, I did."

"What happened?"

"You guys don't need to stay here anymore. The person won't be coming today," Thalia said.

"How come?"

"The person came when I was making a call at the entrance earlier," Thalia said.

Everyone's eyes widened when they heard that.

"And?" Anthony continued asking.

"Before I could say anything, someone called his name. A group of men then surrounded him and beat him up. I couldn't just stand there and watch, so I stepped in. While I was fighting off the attackers, he took the opportunity and ran away!" Thalia sighed.

They did not know what else to say upon hearing that.

Denise then asked, "Are you hurt?"

"Please, do you think those hooligans can hurt me?" Thalia said.

Denise flashed a grin. "You're right. Because you're invincible."

Thalia responded with a smirk before turning around to look at the boys. "Let's finish the food as soon as possible. We don't want those people to come after us."

"Didn't you say they were just hooligans? Do you think we can't handle them?" Miguel questioned her.

"We're here on a mission, not to cause problems, so if possible, let's avoid stirring up trouble," Thalia said.

Anthony, too, concurred. "Thalia's right. Come on, let's finish up the food and leave."

They left after taking a few more bites.

It took them just a few minutes to return to where they came from.

Anthony could not just sit and wait until tomorrow since it was a race against time.

After deliberating for a moment, he looked at Thalia. "I supposed your friend here has a car?"

"Yes. What about it?" she asked.

"I want to go and look for him. If luck is on my side, I might bump into him," Anthony uttered.

"Are you sure? It's late now," Thalia asked.

"He's injured, so he must have returned home. If I go over to his place, I might replace him!" Anthony said.

Thalia understood that it was impossible to convince Anthony not to go, so after thinking for a while, she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."

Anthony turned around and said to Miguel, "Thalia and I will go and look for him. You guys stay here. Miguel, look after my siblings."

"You don't want us to go with you?" Miguel asked.

"We're just taking a chance. We may not even replace him. Even if we do, he may not agree to join us. So, you all should stay here and rest to conserve your energy," Anthony explained.

Miguel nodded. "All right then."

Benjamin looked at him and said, "Be careful."

Anthony bobbed his head in response.

"We'll wait for you." Denise gave him a subtle smile.

Anthony inclined his head while shooting Miguel a meaningful look.

"Don't worry, Master. With me around, everyone here will be safe and sound." Miguel assured him.

Anthony chuckled. "I have faith in you."

Thalia noticed Anthony's concern and reassured him, saying, "No need to worry, Anthony. There's a top-notch security system installed here. If anyone tries to break in, the alarm will go off, and the defense mechanism will be activated."

Upon hearing that, Anthony arched his brows. "How about us?"

"The system will recognize us because we've already keyed in our information, so don't worry," Thalia explained.

Anthony felt relieved upon hearing Thalia's reassurance, and he responded with a nod. "All right, I'm glad to hear that." He then glanced at the others and said, "You guys go back and get some rest. I'll be back soon."

The others bobbed their heads in acknowledgment.
