Chapter 875 A Chance At Redemption

Sitting in front of the computer, Anthony searched carefully, and, sure enough, he found Lindon's figure in an inconspicuous corner. He stood by a car, making a phone call. The time and the location matched up perfectly.

Squinting at the blurry license plate, he adjusted his view from several angles before finally making out the clear license plate number. The next second, Anthony's lips curled into a smile.

In an era where the internet was so developed, no one could escape the fate of being monitored.

Hence, based on the license plate number, he traced Lindon's trail online and found out that he eventually got off the car somewhere.

Since Lindon took a taxi, it drove away as soon as he got off, and he then entered a certain alley.

The area where he got off the car had limited surveillance coverage, and there were blind spots everywhere.

Anthony had searched for a long time, but he couldn't replace any trace of Lindon again.

However, even in such circumstances, he could be certain of one piece of information. Lindon must have taken shelter somewhere within that vicinity because everything there met his requirements.

With that thought, Anthony immediately picked up his phone and dialed Thalia's number.

As soon as the call was answered, Anthony asked directly, "Where are you now?"

"What's the matter? I'll be back soon," Thalia responded.

"Well, it's nothing major, but I've stumbled upon another location that, if all goes as expected, could be where Lindon has taken refuge," he explained. "Are you sure?"

"I am eighty percent certain!"

Thalia thought for a moment and replied, "Then I'll go over there now!"

"All right, you come back first, and then we'll go together!" Anthony suggested.

"Okay!"

A few minutes later, Anthony stood at the door with a black bag on his back.

Miguel got out of the car and looked at him, saying, "Master, I'll go with you!"

"No need. Thalia and I will go take a look first. We're not even sure if we can replace him. You stay at home and watch over Benjamin and Denise!" Miguel thought for a moment, then nodded. "Understood!"

Hence, Anthony got straight into the car, and Thalia drove away immediately.

On their way, Thalia exclaimed, "Magus called me just now!"

Anthony, who was looking at his phone when he heard her words, lifted his head and looked at her. "And then?"

"It's nothing, actually. He's just worried about Lina," Thalia said.

Anthony narrowed his eyes. "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"I mean, can't we just tie up Lindon and force him to tell us where Lina is?" Thalia asked.

"Of course we can!" Anthony nodded.

"Then why make it so complicated if we can just do that?" Thalia inquired.

"Okay. Then you tie him up today!"

Thalia frowned. "Why do I feel like you're being sarcastic?"

"You just realized it now?"

Hearing that, Thalia questioned, "What do you mean, exactly?"

Speaking of that, Anthony put down his phone and looked at her. "If Lindon came here for that painting, it means he is dead set on getting it. In that case, do you think he would have come alone?" Anthony asked.

After giving it some thought, Thalia finally realized what he meant. "But I haven't seen him interacting with anyone these few days!"

"Just because he hasn't seen anyone doesn't mean there isn't anyone!" Anthony responded, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. "I've thought about the method you mentioned, but what if something unexpected happens? Wouldn't that put Lina in danger?"

Thalia pondered for a moment before replying, "Could it be that you're just overthinking things?"

"I referred to his previous criminal records, and he always worked in groups of five. It is a long-standing habit he will not easily break. So, aside from him and Magus, he must have three other people waiting for him somewhere this time," Anthony stated emphatically.

Thalia listened and glanced at Anthony through the rearview mirror with a deep and mysterious gaze.

As Anthony spoke, he looked up at her and said, "Now, all we need to do is confirm their location, or Lina's, and we can take action immediately!"

After a while, Thalia finally nodded. "Understood."

Anthony also nodded in response, looked away, and was about to continue using his phone. However, upon noticing that Thalia was heading in the wrong direction, he furrowed his brows and said, "Thalia, you're going the wrong way!"

"I'm picking someone up!"

"Picking someone up?" Anthony narrowed his eyes.

As he finished his sentence, the car came to a halt, and he saw Magus standing by the roadside.

The moment Anthony saw Magus, he couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Thalia. "Now you're making decisions without consulting me."

Thalia glanced back at him and replied, "He has the right to know!" As she spoke, she opened the car door, and at that moment, Magus swiftly got into the car.

Anthony looked at him and resisted the urge to speak.

Seeing Magus, Anthony curled the corner of his lips slightly. "We are meeting again so soon," he uttered.

After getting in the car, Magus glanced at Thalia and then at Anthony, who was sitting behind him. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "I originally thought what you guys said was just empty words. I didn't expect you to take it so seriously. Anyway, thank you!"

Despite Magus' attempt to suppress his emotions, Anthony could still detect subtle changes in his tone.

With that in mind, Anthony piped up, "I'm not one to just make empty promises. Rest assured. If I say I'll take care of it, I'll see it through to the end!"

Magus glanced at him with a meaningful look but remained silent, refraining from further conversation.

At that moment, Anthony appeared particularly relaxed and at ease. "By the way, Magus, I have a question I'd like to ask you.”

"What is it?"

"Was it always the same five people involved in your previous criminal activities with Lindon?"

Hearing that, Magus nodded. "Yes."

"Were there any exceptions? Have you ever been in a situation where there were not as many people or someone was missing, for instance?" Without any hesitation, Magus directly replied, "No."

"Are you sure?"

"According to Lindon, this is no small operation. The coordination of the five individuals is crucial, and any missing member would cause problems. The first incident happened because someone had an upset stomach and went to the restroom, leading to the mishap. That's why he insists on having five people.”

After hearing Magus' confident words, Anthony inquired, "So this operation also involved five people?"

Magus had not thought about it before, but after Anthony questioned him, he realized and said, "Yes, you are right!"

Anthony's eyes narrowed slightly. "I understand now."

Magus turned to look at him. "Are you saying that..."

Anthony remained silent but nodded in acknowledgment. "Just replaceing Lindon is not enough. Since they are a group of five, they must have their own roles and responsibilities. Capturing Lina is a means to coerce you. If things go as expected, even after this situation is resolved, you will still be the scapegoat. Once you are apprehended, Lina's fate will be sealed as well. So, replaceing Lina is our top priority right now, not vengeance. We can address all of the other issues once we know where she is and ensure her safety."

Magus looked intently at Anthony, not saying a word, but his mind was filled with countless questions and thoughts.

I must admit that Anthony is calmer and more rational than I am. When I found out Lina had been kidnapped, I was consumed by the desire to kill Lindon in retaliation. But now that I have heard what Anthony has to say, I can see why he is so determined to replace Lindon.

Thinking of that, Magus shifted his gaze toward Anthony. In the end, it was this young boy who offered him a chance at redemption.

After a while, he said, "I'll listen to your order."
