Soon, Miguel returned with food.
After placing it on the table, Miguel was about to wake Benjamin and Denise when Anthony said, “Don't wake them up. Let them sleep. They can eat when they wake up.”
Sleeping was more important to them than eating.
“All right then,” Miguel responded, nodding his head upon hearing that.
So, Miguel opened the food he had bought, took out a portion, placed it directly in front of Anthony, and said, “It's not anything fancy since I couldn't find anything good to eat here. I simply grabbed whatever was available. Master, please bear with it and enjoy.”
“It doesn't matter what I eat. I'm not picky.” Anthony, on the other hand, did not seem to mind. As he said that, he took the portion of food and looked at Magus. The former then extended it before him and said, “Magus, this is for you.”
Magus was momentarily stunned, instinctively glancing at the food.
Nevertheless, Anthony did not react. He proceeded to take another portion, opened it, and began eating.
Miguel, too, picked up a portion and began devouring it, displaying a ravenous appetite.
However, after a while, Magus averted his gaze and continued his work, not touching the food.
Anthony noticed it and looked at him while eating, saying, “You need to eat your fill to have the energy to work. Magus, have something to eat first. No matter how rushed, there's still time for a meal.”
“I'm not used to eating while working,” Magus coldly replied.
Anthony's eyebrows raised slightly upon hearing his words. “Are we bothering you then?”
Magus paused momentarily before answering, “No.”
“All right then.” Anthony nodded and continued eating.
As he was still growing, it was vital for him to eat more. By doing so, it would help him grow faster.
Anthony ate while his gaze was fixed on the computer screen.
At that moment, Miguel leaned over, watching him intently. “Master, what are you... Wait, shouldn't we have found him by now?”
“This person is smart. He's using a satellite phone number. So if we want to find him, we can only wait for his call or for him to turn on his phone. But obviously, the number he uses to make calls is from his spare phone, and he only switches it on when he needs it,” Anthony replied while eating, his gaze still fixed on the computer screen.
Miguel furrowed his brows upon hearing Anthony's words. A second later, he commented, “This person is acting like a spy. Does he really think so many people are after him?”
“Maybe? After all, he's not just an ordinary thief. He's caused harm to more people than we know, and he's more afraid than anyone. That's why he's more cautious.” Anthony chuckled.
Miguel listened and nodded in response. “That's true.”
“So let's wait. He will definitely show up!” Anthony answered, emphasizing each word.
“We can wait, but Lina...” Miguel's words trailed off as he suddenly froze, instinctively raising his eyes to look at Magus.
Yet Magus' hands froze momentarily too. In the next second, his gaze shifted toward them.
“I-I didn't mean anything else,” Miguel explained.
Magus looked sullen, emanating a gloomy aura.
When Anthony saw that, he spoke up, “Lindon is no fool. He won't easily harm Lina until Magus has resolved his matters. After all, he still needs Magus by his side to be a scapegoat!”
“Yes. That makes sense!” Miguel exclaimed as he nodded instantly after hearing that.
Anthony's words indirectly comforted Magus, who then withdrew his gaze. After that, the latter picked up his pace and continued working.
Anthony and Miguel exchanged glances but refrained from saying anything more.
And so, after Miguel finished eating, he watched Magus from the side, feeling extremely bored. The former yawned, and just as he was about to go to sleep, his phone rang.
