Chapter 821 Good At Carrying Balls

After breakfast, they prepared to depart.

They were about to get into the car when Anthony's phone rang.

He frowned when he realized it was a call from a local number. A brief hesitation later, he decided to answer the call.

"Hello."

"You want to replace Magus, right? I've found him. When will you come?" the person asked directly.

Anthony sat up in delight. "Where are you? I'll come over right now!"

"What about my reward? I put in a lot of effort to track him down..."

"I told you that the reward is negotiable, right? After I head there and see him, I'll transfer the money to you immediately," Anthony replied hastily.

Hearing that, the person chuckled and told him, "I've sent the location to your phone. You need to hurry up as I can't stall for time for too long!"

"If he isn't there when I arrive, you won't get the money. However, if he's there when I arrive, I'll double your pay!"

The person clenched his teeth and promised, "Okay. I promise he'll be there when you arrive."

After cutting the line, Anthony turned to look at Thalia and urged, "Come on. We've found him, so we need to leave now."

Thalia went over to him and asked, "He's been found? By who?"

"By someone we met at the night market that night, I suppose. We'll replace out when we arrive." Anthony pulled the door open.

A flash of surprise appeared in Thalia's gaze. "Is that a hoax?"

"If he's a scammer, he would've escaped after getting the money. Why would he call me?" Anthony refuted.

"That's right." Thalia arched a brow and was about to enter the driver's seat when Miguel came to them. "Let me drive," he offered.

Thalia glanced at him. "Do you know the way?"

"I've been here before."

Thalia was glad to be relieved from the burden, so she hopped into the passenger seat.

The kids settled into the backseat. After getting into the car, Miguel glanced at Anthony and said, "Master, show me the address."

Anthony told him, "I've sent it to your phone."

Hearing that, Miguel fished his phone out to take a look. He then pocketed his phone and started the engine.

Thalia gave him a look. "Are you not going to use the GPS?"

"No need. I used to come here on business with Dave. I'm quite familiar with the roads here," Miguel explained.

Tholio excloimed, "Why didn't you tell me thot eorlier? If I hod known thot you're fomilior with the roods oround here, I would hove mode you the driver these post few doys!"

Miguel glonced ot Anthony through the reorview mirror. Floshing o grin, he soid, "It's my honor to serve you, Moster."

Tholio joked, "Well, you're quite good ot corrying bolls, huh?"

"If it wasn't for Moster, I would've been killed by your boss lost night." Miguel didn't bother mincing his words.

While he wosn't officiolly port of the DX Group, Dove hod hired him privotely ond considered him to be his own. Kyle would not be pleosed if he found out obout this.

He wos only one step owoy from deoth yesterdoy!

"You know everything, huh? Thot's great!" Tholio proised.

"Of course."

Right then, Anthony spoke without looking up. "Stop with the flottery ond hurry up. If we miss him, I'll personolly deliver you to the door of Dorknetz!"

Miguel insisted, "Noh, you won't do thot!"

Despite thot, he quickly floored the occelerotor, speeding to their destinotion.

Twenty minutes loter, they orrived ot their destinotion.

After the cor rolled to o stop, they got out of the cor.

From ofor, they sow the person clod in tottered clothes, looking like o beggor.

"Where is he?" Tholio osked.

Anthony glonced ot the person ond strode toword him.

When he come to o stop behind the person, they remoined stonding with their bock to him, seemingly fixoted on something oheod.

Miguel shot Anthony o disbelieving look. "Is this him?"

"I think so." Anthony nodded.

"Are you serious?" A look of disdoin floshed ocross Miguel's foce.

Anthony pointed out, "Don't judge o book by its cover. He wos oble to replace Mogus, which proves he's o copoble person."

Miguel didn't refute his words os he knew mony tolented people didn't core obout their oppeoronce.

Right then, Anthony gove him o pointed look. Miguel went over ond potted the person's shoulders. "Is it you?"

Heoring his voice, the person turned over his shoulder.

At once, Miguel jolted in terror os if he wos wotching o horror movie in the cinemo. His eyes bulged in ostonishment, ond he stood frozen in ploce.

Thalia exclaimed, "Why didn't you tell me that earlier? If I had known that you're familiar with the roads around here, I would have made you the driver these past few days!"

Miguel glanced at Anthony through the rearview mirror. Flashing a grin, he said, "It's my honor to serve you, Master."

Thalia joked, "Well, you're quite good at carrying balls, huh?"

"If it wasn't for Master, I would've been killed by your boss last night." Miguel didn't bother mincing his words.

While he wasn't officially part of the DX Group, Dave had hired him privately and considered him to be his own. Kyle would not be pleased if he found out about this.

He was only one step away from death yesterday!

"You know everything, huh? That's great!" Thalia praised.

"Of course."

Right then, Anthony spoke without looking up. "Stop with the flattery and hurry up. If we miss him, I'll personally deliver you to the door of Darknetz!"

Miguel insisted, "Nah, you won't do that!"

Despite that, he quickly floored the accelerator, speeding to their destination.

Twenty minutes later, they arrived at their destination.

After the car rolled to a stop, they got out of the car.

From afar, they saw the person clad in tattered clothes, looking like a beggar.

"Where is he?" Thalia asked.

Anthony glanced at the person and strode toward him.

When he came to a stop behind the person, they remained standing with their back to him, seemingly fixated on something ahead.

Miguel shot Anthony a disbelieving look. "Is this him?"

"I think so." Anthony nodded.

"Are you serious?" A look of disdain flashed across Miguel's face.

Anthony pointed out, "Don't judge a book by its cover. He was able to replace Magus, which proves he's a capable person."

Miguel didn't refute his words as he knew many talented people didn't care about their appearance.

Right then, Anthony gave him a pointed look. Miguel went over and patted the person's shoulders. "Is it you?"

Hearing his voice, the person turned over his shoulder.

At once, Miguel jolted in terror as if he was watching a horror movie in the cinema. His eyes bulged in astonishment, and he stood frozen in place.

The man was unbothered by his reaction and asked, "What is it?"

"You..." Miguel's mind went blank.

Not far away, Denise and Benjamin were also stunned.

His face was not only unattractive, but it was also downright terrifying.

The man's gaze swept over them and suddenly noticed Anthony standing not far away. He quickly crouched down and made his way over to Anthony. "You're here?"

The man had a thin build, with prominent cheekbones and protruding teeth. His eyes appeared to bulge out, giving him a frightening appearance at first glance. However, after spending some time with him, one would get used to his features.

Anthony had seen him yesterday and didn't appear shocked today. "Where is he?" he asked.

"I've locked him up!" the man answered with a confident smile.

"You locked him up? Where?" Anthony glanced around but didn't notice any enclosed areas.

"He's somewhere safe," the man assured him. He looked at Anthony with a smile, clearly revealing his intention.

Knowing what he wanted, Anthony shot Thalia a look. The latter nodded and pulled out a stack of cash from her bag. The man's eyes lit up at the sight of the money in Thalia's hands.

Thalia hesitated briefly before handing the money to him. "Here you go."

The man hurried forward to take the money from her. However, after weighing the money in his hands, he frowned and shot Anthony a displeased look, his initial excitement all gone. "I don't think the amount's correct."

Thalia observed him calmly, her expression as ruthless as ever. "Impressive. You can tell just by holding the money, huh?"

"I have been in the business a while now, so I can easily determine the amount just by sniffing or weighing the money," the man explained.

Thalia chuckled. She didn't suspect the validity of his words and said slowly, "Don't worry, for we won't cheat you. We'll pay you the rest of the money when we see him."

The man's face showed a hint of hesitation, but he quickly gave in and nodded his head. "You're cautious, I see. Follow me," he said, turning on his heels and walking away. As he passed by Miguel, he shot him a pointed look and let out an icy snort.

Anthony quickly went after him.

Denise and Benjamin shared a look before hurrying after them.
