You're Out Daddy

Chapter 685

Chapter 685

Thalia went in and scanned her surroundings. In the end, her gaze landed on one of the corners.

Needless to say, Thalia was slightly stunned when she saw Natasha.

Thalia quickly racked her brain, but she couldn't come up with an answer.

Meanwhile, Natasha looked back at her, lifted her hand, and waved at Thalia with a smile.

Seeing that, Thalia pondered for a moment before approaching Natasha.

While looking at Natasha, Thalia asked, “Why are you here?”

“I was waiting for you,” Natasha replied flatly.

Thalia took a deep breath and gazed at Natasha. “Did Anthony ask you to come—” Thalia paused because she saw a phone on the table. Right away, her gaze darkened, and she was visibly shaken.

She then looked at Natasha and shifted her gaze back toward the phone again. After a while, she walked up to Natasha and asked, “How did that phone come into your possession?”

“What do you think?” Natasha responded with another question.

Thalia stared at Natasha and said, “This phone needs to be customized through a special channel. It is only customized for certain people, so not everyone can have it. Moreover, Anthony doesn't know about this channel...”

Natasha kept mum and let Thalia analyze her way through.

“Could it be Kenneth? However, he didn't get his phone through this specific channel. Besides, you don't need such a powerful phone...” As Thalia was talking, she raised her gaze toward Natasha. All of a sudden, an unbelievable idea came to her mind.

“Are you Shadow Seeker?” Thalia asked.

Natasha's expression was calm, but she was wearing a faint smile. Although she didn't utter a single word, it seemed as though her silence had spoken for her.

“How could this be?” The corners of Thalia's mouth twitched. This is absurd!

“How could it not?” Natasha asked.

Natasha's question had confirmed Thalia's speculation.

“Are you really...” Thalia was in disbelief.

Natasha then suddenly reached out her hand and said, “Let me reintroduce myself. I'm Shadow Seeker. Nice to meet you, Thalia.”

Thalia was rendered speechless. In fact, her mind was buzzing when she heard those words. Why does this feel surprising and normal at the same time? Could it be because I've known her for such a long time? Is that why I'm not weirded out?

While staring at Natasha's hand, Thalia slowly reached out her hand as well for a handshake.

In response, Natasha smiled at her.


Right then, Thalia regained her senses and asked, “Wait... Isn't Shadow Seeker a man?”

“Who said so?”

“Everyone said so! Besides, according to your profile, you're a man!”

“I wrote that on a whim,” Natasha replied.

“That's why I couldn't find you no matter where I looked! I've wasted three years of my life!” Thalia exclaimed.

“I'm sorry, but I didn't mean to fool you. I did it to protect myself.” Natasha smiled.

Thalia was in the same industry, so she definitely could relate.

After giving a nod, Thalia looked at Natasha and said, “I understand. So, are you really not going to consider joining Darknetz? Kyle said as long as you're willing to join Darknetz, you can name whatever conditions you want!”

“Why are you still thinking about recruiting for Darknetz now?” Natasha asked. They were sitting opposite each other as though they had been friends with each other for years.

Thalia lowered her gaze and smiled. “Darknetz has been kind to me. In my eyes, it's like a home. I think it's only right for me to be concerned about my family.”

Natasha heard what Thalia said and nodded. “However, I still hold on to the words I said. I'm not joining any organization now, and I'll never will!”

Thalia took a deep breath upon hearing that. “All right. I figured you would say so. I didn't believe you then, but I do now. I've already given up hope.”

Natasha chuckled and explained, “I'm sorry, but I've already promised Grandpa not to get involved in that industry. Prior to this, I did it because I was looking for my father. After that, I stopped getting myself involved in such activities.”

“I understand. Still, it's such a shame. It's a great loss for the hackers' community.” Thalia nodded.

“You have a never-ending supply of geniuses in this industry. Soon, you'll have new talents emerging.” Natasha smiled.

“Be that as it may, no one can ever reach Shadow Seeker's height.”

Natasha merely smiled in response.

“It's all right, though. Even with you out of the picture, there's still Anthony...” Thalia paused the moment she mentioned Anthony. She couldn't help but feel dejected when she recalled Anthony's retreating figure that day.

Obviously, Natasha knew what was on Thalia's mind. “Anthony was disappointed and angry after he left that day.”

“Was he?” Thalia asked with an awkward look in her eyes.

“I knew you had good intentions, and I think he'll come around,” Natasha answered.

Upon hearing that, Thalia lowered her gaze and mumbled, “I didn't do it for his own good, so I don't need him to come around...”

Natasha didn't dwell on the conflict between Thalia and Anthony. Instead, Natasha looked at Thalia and said, “Thalia, trust me. You're going to be fine. You surely will.”

“Yes. I hope so.” Thalia flashed a smile.

“Well, follow me back!” Natasha urged.

Thalia froze for a second when she heard that. “No. Since I've already left, I don't plan to go back.”

“Thalia...”

“I've already made up my mind.” Thalia's eyes reflected her firm resolve.

“Thalia, I don't know what happened between you and Spencer, but you shouldn't put yourself in danger!”

Thalia's eyes darted from side to side before she curled her lips into a smile. “Don't worry. I'm not putting my life in danger. I've always been one to appreciate my life. It's just that I have other plans in mind.”

Other plans? Natasha noticed the keywords in Thalia's sentence. Upon seeing the smile on Thalia's face, Natasha couldn't help but frown.

After a while, Natasha's gaze turned stern when she asked, “Are you planning to look for Boss on your own?”

Thalia's eyelashes quivered slightly, and she looked at Natasha in bafflement. I didn't even say anything. How did Natasha know what was on my mind?

“No. Why would I do that?” Thalia denied.

“Thalia, your eyes are telling me you're lying.”

Thalia went quiet.

“You can't go!” Natasha advised.

“Why not?” Thalia looked at Natasha.

Although Thalia knew she could be exposed by asking that, she didn't bother.
