You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 876

The single phrase “I will listen to you” carried so much meaning with it.

Anthony raised his eyes and met Magus', his gaze deep and mysterious. He was unsure if it was just his imagination, but he couldn't shake the feeling that Magus' attitude toward him was no longer as indifferent as before.

Even Thalia, who was driving beside them, cast a surprised glance in their direction.

Magus' words were indeed quite surprising.

However, Thalia didn't explicitly state what she had seen through. She looked at Magus and said, “I've talked to him about this matter. Now, we should focus on Lina's safety. As long as you do as he says, she won't be in any danger.”

Upon hearing her words, Magus nodded. He then said as if he had recalled something, “By the way, I did what you asked me to do today and insisted on a conversation with Lina. However, he seemed to be quite busy at that time and rejected my request. Do you guys think that Lina might have already...” As he spoke, his expression suddenly turned serious.

Anthony understood what he meant. After hearing what the latter said, he thought carefully before saying, “No, as long as he wants to control you, he will ensure Lina's safety. Besides, he may be immoral, but he is far from being utterly despicable. His goal is to steal what he wants and get the money he desires. His purpose is not to kill. As long as you stay away from him, Lina's safety remains guaranteed.”

Listening to Anthony's analysis, Magus pondered for a moment and nodded. “I understand.”

“However, this is just my analysis. I'm afraid that there might be some unexpected situations, so you should make such demands every time you make a call. He will definitely let you hear her.”

Magus listened and nodded.

“Also, you need to ask Lina different questions every time,” Anthony said.

Magus was momentarily puzzled. “Why?”

After pondering for a moment, Anthony fixed his gaze intently on him and said, “Just in case he tries to deceive you with a recording.”

Magus instantly understood. He stared at Anthony, and after hesitating for a moment, he nodded and said, “Got it.”

And so, the car continued down the road.

Very soon, they arrived near the location Anthony tracked down.

When the car came to a stop, Thalia raised her eyes and scanned the surroundings. “This should be it.”

Anthony looked at his phone and compared the location with it for a moment. He then nodded in agreement and exclaimed, “This is the place!”

Magus looked around and asked, “So, Lindon is here?”

“According to the location that I traced this afternoon, he got out of a car here and then entered this alley.” Anthony pointed to a dark alley ahead.

The location wasn't exactly remote, as there were still some dim lights illuminating the surroundings. However, if you were to survey the area, it was not a bustling area either. It resembled more of a mixed residential district, teeming with diverse lives.

Magus looked ahead and said in a deep voice, “This location is very close to the exhibition venue, making it a prime location for him to commit the crime.”

“So, does this mean there's a higher chance that he lives here?” Anthony asked.

Magus nodded solemnly. “He usually prefers locations within a three-kilometer radius. It provides him with both accessibility and a chance to retreat. That is the range he would likely choose.”

Anthony listened and the corners of his mouth curled into a smile. “In that case, I'm even more confident now. He must be somewhere around here.”

“Let's go and take a look,” Thalia said.

Anthony nodded, and then they walked toward the dark alley together.

Inside the alley, there was complete darkness. Anthony turned on his phone and relied on the faint light it provided to make their way in.

Thalia led the way, pulling out her pistol straightaway. She glanced back at Anthony and Magus who were following her. “Be careful.”

Anthony nodded.

Magus followed closely behind Anthony, creating a protective formation by positioning himself behind Anthony and with Thalia in front. They initially thought that the alley would be lurking with danger, but upon entering, they realized it was simply a small alley. After walking a few steps, they reached another fork in the road.

One path led to the left, and another led to the right. The three of them stopped at the fork. Thalia looked around and then turned to Anthony. “Which way?”

Anthony looked up at Magus out of habit and asked him, “What do you think?”

Magus was dumbfounded for a second and stayed silent.

“You know Lindon the best. Based on your past experiences, what do you think he would have chosen?” Anthony asked.

Magus hesitated for a moment, then looked to the right and said, “Over there.”

Without any hesitation, Thalia and Anthony headed straight in that direction.
