You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 834

Anthony walked up to them, his palm-sized face plastered with a gentlemanly smile. “What do you think? Would you consider it?” He was addressing Magus with these words. Anthony's gaze fixed on him as if he had all the patience in the world.

Magus's gaze swept over him, but he didn't say a word.

The man half-lying on the ground let out a soft chuckle. Regardless of whether his business with Magus could continue, he knew that Magus would not be leaving with them.

It had always been like this for the past few years.

With that thought, he smiled. “You might as well forget it. He won't go with you!”

“If he doesn't go with me, then your source of wealth won't be cut off, right?” Anthony queried.

The man didn't expect Anthony to be so straightforward.

He pursed his lips and directed his gaze at Anthony. “Regardless of whether our collaboration can continue, he won't go with you. Do you truly think money can buy everything?”

Anthony remained calm and composed, exuding the demeanor of a quintessential gentleman. “Money might not be able to solve everything, but it sure can solve most of it!” As he spoke, his gaze returned to Magus. Despite being so young, his words were impactful. “Not only can I provide financial support, but I can also find the best doctors for her treatment, personnel you would never have imagined!”

Magus was about to refuse, yet his eyes still lit up briefly upon hearing these words.

This was undoubtedly a very tempting proposition.

The man's gaze turned to Magus. He knew very well that this woman was his Achilles heel. The reason they had remained business partners until now was that he needed to treat her illness and was in urgent need of money. Otherwise, he might not have been able to reach him at all.

He spoke, “You don't believe what they're saying, do you?”

Magus stared down Anthony and Thalia, who stood behind him.

He didn't know much about Anthony but understood Thalia to an extent. She was a genuine, bold, and sentimental person. The child must demonstrate certain excellent qualities for her to follow him wherever he goes.

However...

Anthony spoke up at Magus' silence. “Magus, I know how ambitious you are. Do you plan to spend your whole life here with such a partner?”

The man immediately retorted, “What's wrong with partnering with me?”

Thalia eyed him. “Shut up!”

He immediately zipped up at how imposing she was.

Anthony continued. “Since you're looking for a business partner, why not choose me? I promise not to force you to do anything you don't want to and that you have the right to leave freely. I would never betray my buddies nor let anyone take the fall for me. None of these would even be a possibility!”

Magus' searingly depthless gaze penetrated Anthony.

They must have come prepared since they managed to find their way here. As such, it wasn't surprising to him that they were privy to such matters.

Just then, Thalia took a step toward him. Her eyes seemed to be filled with disappointment. “Magus, I never thought you'd stoop so low one day!”

Magus' attention shifted to her.

“Before coming here, I confidently bet with them that you wouldn't be the kind of person who conspires with others to swindle money. But I was sorely mistaken!”

Magus sneered at her accusatory tone. “What's wrong? Swindling is nothing to me. If someone paid me right now, I'd even commit murder and arson!”

Thalia's eyes narrowed. “How did you end up like this?”

Magus' sneer stiffened. “Why not? I don't see any issue with that.”

“You—”

Magus retorted calmly, “Don't look at me like that. I'm not as noble as you think. After all, I'm not like you bunch who possess the right to fight against this world. I have nothing and am but a slave to money. Do I have any other choice? Perhaps I should join another team, be used and discarded, and then be locked away for another decade?”

Thalia was rendered speechless.

“Who doesn't want to live a noble and dignified life? The question is whether I qualify for it or not?” Magus enunciated his words carefully.

Thalia grabbed his collar and was about to say something when a figure suddenly rushed up from behind and stood directly before her. “Please don't attack him, Miss. I don't know what he did to you, but I beg you to let him go. If he cheated you of your money, we will find a way to compensate you. It was all for my sake. I beg of you...” The figure knelt before her determinedly.
