You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 857

Anthony understood his pain.

He had been searching for his enemy for so many years. Now that they had reappeared before him again, how could he possibly give up so easily?

Similarly, Anthony understood his current situation. It was because of Lina that he didn't dare to risk everything. Only by entrusting her to someone safe could he act without any worries.

Knowing his plan, Anthony narrowed his eyes slightly. “Magus, have you made up your mind? Do you want revenge and give up on Lina?”

Magus was slightly taken aback. “I'm not trying to give up on her...”

“How is it not? Isn't your current plan to abandon her for the sake of revenge?” Anthony asked, staring straight into his eyes.

Magus clenched his fists tightly. His eyes filled with hatred as he thought about the words that person had said to him. “So am I supposed to just do nothing and give up? He killed my child and caused Lina to become like this. I must kill him with my own hands, or else I won't be able to face my child, Lina, or even myself!” Magus said angrily.

Listening to him, Anthony remained calm and composed. “You know what I'd do if this were to happen to me?”

Magus narrowed his eyes.

The boy squatted in front of him, his gaze on him. “I guess in everyone's eyes, the only thing that could satisfy them is killing their enemy with their own hands. They're willing to give up everything for it. However, this will only lead to them losing everything they have.”

“What exactly are you trying to say?” Magus asked.

“If it were me, I would definitely kill him, but at the same time, I would also make sure to protect everything I have!” Anthony replied, emphasizing each word as he looked at him.

Upon hearing this, Magus' lips curled into a mocking smile. “In this world, not everything can go as you wish. Also, not everyone is like you, born with everything they could ever want.”

Anthony's eyes narrowed slightly, “Who told you I was born with everything? What I have now is the result of my own efforts. I've made wrong choices too, but I always regain my senses in time and correct them. I won't let myself pay the price for a lifetime because of one wrong choice. It's precisely because I understand this that I have what I have now.”

Magus stared at him.

“Magus, you chose to entrust Lina to us, which shows that deep down, you already believe in us, or at least in Thalia. You trust that we wouldn't be so cruel as to make things difficult for her even if you were to die, don't you?” Anthony asked.

Magus stared intently at him. The child was young, but his eyes seemed to possess the ability to see through people's hearts.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Anthony knew he was right and continued, “In that case, why not choose to join us? You know very well that we have the ability to help you. Even if you're using us to take him down, at least you'd survive, and the one you love can also live on!”

Upon hearing this, Magus sneered. “But are you really that beneficial for me to take advantage of it?”

“Well, how would you know if you don't give it a try?” Anthony retorted.

Magus gazed at him. His thin lips were tightly pursed, and his eyes revealed an indescribable complexity.

“I know you're worried that we might end up like him, but what else do you have to lose in your life? The worst outcome is already here, but if you can crawl out of this pit of fire, that's where your true ability lies,” Anthony said.

Magus stared at him, still silent.

At that moment, Thalia watched with growing concern and frustration on his behalf as she stood nearby.

“Magus, what you fear most is betrayal, but now you can't even protect your own life and the life of your loved one. What's there to be afraid of? Betrayal is worthless compared to staying alive!” Thalia growled at him.

Magus' gaze fell upon her, his lips still pressed together in silence, but the tension in his eyes gradually eased.

Anthony knew that he needed time to think. After pondering for a moment, he said, “You can take some time to consider my proposal. I won't force you. If your final decision is to do it alone, we have nothing more to say. Of course, we will help with anything you entrust to us. It's all up to your choice!” As he spoke, Anthony raised his hand to check the time on his watch. “We will probably leave here tomorrow afternoon. Just call Thalia once you've made up your mind.” With that, he got back onto his feet.
