Glancing at the number, Anthony's eyebrows raised slightly. “Here it is.”
While he spoke, he swiped down on the screen with his finger and then tapped to turn on the speaker.
“Hello.”
“It's me, Sir.”
“What's wrong?” Anthony asked.
“What do you mean? Didn't you say you were looking for that person? I found them!” the person on the other end of the line said.
“So soon?”
“Of course, I know you're in a hurry. I went to great lengths to sneak this out of Magus' house,” the other party replied in a tone full of flattery.
Anthony chuckled lightly and said, “You stole it? Aren't you afraid that Magus will find out and come after you?”
“This person has a deep hatred for Magus, so he won't do anything to me because of this. Besides, even if he does get angry, I'll secretly put it back after you guys take a look at the photo. If you and I don't say anything, how would he ever know?”
“It seems that you've thought this through very thoroughly!”
“Of course, I carefully consider every business deal before I proceed,” the other party said.
Anthony pursed his lips and remained silent.
“Would you prefer if I bring the photos to you, or would you prefer to pick them up?”
Anthony thought for a moment and said, “Bring it over.”
“Alright, should I head over there now?”
“If you don't mind it coming over at such a late hour, then sure.”
“Of course not. There's nothing too early or too late in business.”
“Then I'll be waiting!”
“Okay.”
And so, the phone call ended.
At that moment, Denise narrowed her eyes. After a while of remaining silent, she said faintly, “This person is pretty good.”
Upon hearing this, Anthony couldn't help but let out a cold laugh. “Indeed, his ruthlessness is hidden in plain sight.”
Thalia glanced up at him and asked, “You're not thinking of taking him in, are you?”
Anthony was a bit stunned. “Do I look that casual to you?”
Thalia nodded.
Anthony said, “I have conditions for accepting people, okay? This person is too focused on personal gain. You could say they side with whoever offers more money. I wouldn't dare to accept someone like that!”
“Oh, you know even that?” Thalia asked.
Anthony gave her a slight smile. “Of course. So, don't use your narrow-minded perspective to judge me!”
Thalia scoffed at him.
Anthony smirked slightly and remained silent.
At that moment, while continuing to draw, Benjamin asked without lifting his head, “So, Tony, is your next plan to help Magus kill that person?”
“I'm still thinking about the plan, but the conclusion is correct!” Anthony said.
Benjamin sighed helplessly.
“What's wrong, Ben?” Denise asked.
Benjamin looked up at them and said, “I just feel that, given Tony's personality, we will have to deal with way too many things!”
“That's how Tony is!” Denise said.
After listening to their complaints, Anthony's dark eyes narrowed slightly. “Actually, I'm not helping Magus, but rather the unborn child...”
As he spoke, he turned toward them. “That child was supposed to have a chance to see this world, but they were deprived of that right!”
Both Denise and Benjamin fell silent.
As children themselves, they truly understood the beauty of this world.
Although, at first, their only family was Natasha, she never allowed them to feel a lack of love. Even by herself, she made them aware of the beauty and good and evil in this world.
Hence, Denise and Benjamin could understand completely.
After pondering for a moment, Denise spoke up, “Tony, I understand what you're thinking. If that's the case, I support you.”
Anthony looked at Benjamin.
