You're Out Daddy

Chapter 489

Chapter 489

Once they returned to the room, Anthony looked at Thalia and asked, “What is it?”

“I've completed what you wanted me to do. However, I've specially created a mini app where you can log on with a fake number. That way, you won't have to change your number, and it won't reveal any information about you,” she replied as she turned toward him.

“Are you referring to what I previously mentioned about a group chat?” he asked.

Thalia nodded casually, then took out her phone. “The people from the uninhabited zone are all in a group chat on this mini app. You should log on for a while. They're waiting for you.”

Surprise flashed across Anthony's eyes. He pulled out his phone while asking, “That fast?”

After sending him the link, she fixed her gaze on him. “Are you complaining now?”

“Who says I'm complaining? I'm clearly amazed. Your speed and efficiency are simply incredible!” he responded. Once he got his phone out, he saw the invitation link she had sent him.

“All you have to do is click on it. I've assigned you the administrator rights, so you have full rein over how you want to manage things,” Thalia told him.

Anthony did not say anything as he tapped on the link. There were less than two hundred people in the group.

He frowned. “Are there only so few people?”

She scoffed disdainfully. “Are you seriously dissatisfied? Do you have any idea how invaluable this two-hundred-strong group is worth? No one in this group is just an average person, and any single one of them is worth a hundred people.”

As Anthony held his phone, his brows furrowed after hearing what she said. “Aren't you exaggerating?”

Thalia sneered. “Exaggerating? Let's not talk about the others and just take this guy in this group who goes by WildHugo, for example. He was part of the top team for international counter-terrorism. However, he was dismissed due to a minor transgression. He wandered around in various countries after what happened. Now, people pay him to do their dirty work. Isn't that wild?”

Anthony could not help swallowing hard after hearing that.

“Are you scared now?” she asked, gazing at him.

He shook his head. “It has piqued my interest.”

Thalia stared at him wordlessly.


He continued, “How great would it be to have someone like that at my disposal?”

“How ambitious of you,” she remarked, putting on a mocking tone.

“Only the ambitious make progress,” he responded. Then, he looked at Thalia and asked, “You mentioned he used to be on a team for counter-terrorism. Didn't anyone track him down to seek revenge after that?”

“Of course! Many did. However, he faked his death and changed his identity to avoid trouble. Otherwise, incidents like that would still plague him,” she explained.

Anthony pondered for a moment before glancing at Thalia. “How do you know all that if he has changed his identity?”

She arched an eyebrow smugly, and a gloating look glinted in her eyes. “I just do. And that's not all I know. I know a lot more...”

He did not press further. Naturally, Thalia must have her ways, or she wouldn't be able to maintain a firm foothold until now. I'm not interested in digging up another's “trade secrets” for earning a living.

Then, he asked, “So, those in this group basically operate independently?”

“There are also a few small organizations, but most of them are only doing this for the money,” she answered.

Anthony nodded thoughtfully after hearing that.

She looked at him and said, “In any case, what you're doing will be quite a feat. It'll just depend on whether you can keep a hand on them.”

“It'll be fine if I just don't say too much, right?” he asked.

“That sounds like a plan. You could maintain your mysterious persona.” After expressing her approval of his plan, she remembered something. “Oh, by the way, it's inevitable that there'll be parties who don't get along. Things may appear fine now, but that doesn't mean they'll be fine in the future. You need to show your authority right off the bat to avoid any untoward incidents. Otherwise, you'd only be giving both parties a space to open fire at each other.”

“Okay, got it. I'll watch myself,” he said.

Thalia nodded. “In that case, I'll be leaving then.”

She was almost at the door when a thought suddenly occurred to him. “Oh, right. One other thing.”

“Yes?” she asked, turning back toward him.

“Could you compile the information on everyone in this group for me?”

“What do you need that for?”

“I have my reasons,” Anthony replied.

Knowing he was always full of tricks and ideas, she did not probe further. “I could, but there are many of them whom I don't know much about.”

“That's all right. Just include as much as you know,” he said.

Thalia pondered his request for a while and finally nodded. “Okay.”

He shot her a brief smile at once. “Thank you.”

“That was such an insincere smile that you should just save it,” she responded with a snort. Then, she opened the door and walked off.

He raised his brows as he watched her leave and could not refrain from musing, “Her temper is still as bad as before.”

Benjamin, who had been scrolling through his phone in a corner, piped up, “She hasn't been herself since Spencer returned. She says she's fine when she's actually miserable.”

“Honestly, what's with Spencer? It's clear he cares about Thalia, but he's so stubborn. What do you think is going on in his mind?” Anthony asked.

“How would I know?” Benjamin replied, cocking a brow.
