You're Out Daddy

Chapter 827 We Will Not Harm You

A moment later, Thalia ventured, “If I'm not mistaken... the man's name is Doggo?”

As soon as she had said that, Anthony and Miguel both wore skeptical expressions on their faces.

“Doggo? You're certain?” Miguel asked incredulously.

Who would name himself such? Even dogs have proper names nowadays. Why would he regress and use a dog's name for himself?

At that, Thalia frowned. “Wait a moment. Let me rack my brain for a bit...” With her lovely brows knitted together, she mulled it over solemnly. Some time passed before she abruptly remembered the name. “Oh yes, the man's name is Diego!”

“Diego? Are you absolutely sure?” Anthony's eyes were fixed on her.

“Yeah, it's Diego, all right. I remember I even investigated him back then and once saw a photo of him!” Thalia asserted.

Anthony shifted his gaze to the laptop screen. It so happened that it displayed the information Miguel found, a picture of a man holding a gun. Seeing that, he immediately turned it to face Thalia. “Is this the man?”

Thalia leaned forward for a closer look. In the next heartbeat, she slammed her hand on the table. “Yes, it's him!”

“Are you really sure, Thalia?” Anthony queried, afraid that she might have gotten things mixed up in her mind.

“I'm a hundred percent sure because this was the photo I saw at that time!” Thalia enunciated.

Hearing that, Anthony instantly turned the laptop back to face himself. “Got it!” After he had said that, his fingers flew across the keyboard. In no time, he found some leads on Diego.

“Gotcha!” he crowed.

At once, Miguel crowded over. “What did you find?”

“There's not much on him, only this portrait photo of him that was taken inadvertently... Eh, wait. That's not right. He seems to have been arrested when he committed a crime two years ago. Coincidentally, he's imprisoned right here!” While saying that, Anthony swung his gaze to Miguel and Thalia.

Thalia sat across from them and did not crowd over for a look, but her eyes narrowed a fraction when she glimpsed the look in his eyes. “What are you up to now?”

Anthony held her gaze. “Thalia, you must have some connections here as well, right?”

“Don't tell me you want to go—”

“Yup!” Anthony interjected before she could even finish her utterance, his eyes on her glinting with sheer determination.

Thalia inhaled deeply. “It's not difficult to make arrangements for that, but is there a point in doing so?”

“I can't tell for sure, but I know we'll definitely gain something by going there!” Anthony maintained.

A slight frown marred Thalia's countenance. Defeated by his penetrating stare, she finally shot to her feet irritably. “Got it! I'll go and make the arrangements right away!”

“Can you make it today?” Anthony asked.

Jerking her head back, Thalia glared at him. “Why don't you just ask for an immediate meeting?”

“That works, too! I can leave anytime!”

“Argh!”

“I believe that it's undoubtedly a trivial matter, considering your capabilities!” Anthony exclaimed.

Since he had flattered her such, there was no reason for Thalia not to unleash her capabilities.

Sweeping a gaze over him, she boasted, “Well, you're right. It's indeed a trivial matter!” With that said, she walked away with her phone in hand.

Anthony shared a look with Miguel, upon which Miguel wondered, “Is she really that powerful?”

“Are you looking down on Darknetz Ace?” Anthony retorted.

The instant Miguel heard that, he bobbed his head. “Ah, that's true!”

“Perhaps you can consider joining Darknetz?” Anthony drawled.

However, Miguel promptly declined, “Forget it. I'm scared Dave would kill me!”

“Were you not scared Mr. Dave would kill you when you joined my team, then?” Anthony countered.

“That's different. Speaking of that, I acknowledge you alone. Besides, Dave treats you differently. You're his best friend's son, so he won't have any objections if I join your team. But if I join Darknetz, it'd be another story altogether!” Miguel explained. Although he had aspirations and dreams, he also had his bottom line. At the end of the day, there were some rules he would never break.

Eyeing the man, Anthony said nothing further. He shifted his gaze to the laptop. Nonetheless, a ton of conjectures were already playing in his mind then. Just as his thoughts were running wild, Thalia returned.

She walked right up to him and declared, “Let's go.”

Upon hearing that, Anthony raised his eyes to her. “You've made the arrangements?”

“How could I disappoint you when you've already praised me to the skies?” Thalia riposted.

At the confirmation, Anthony swiftly stood up and put the laptop away. Beside him, Miguel stammered, “C-Can I go?”

“Who's going to drive if you don't go?”

When Miguel heard that, he quickly rushed forward in delight to help carry Anthony's bag. “Allow me, Master!”

Anthony shot him a look. “You're growing increasingly tactful!”

“Of course!”

Despite Anthony's remark, he did not release his hold on the bag. “I'll carry it myself. I'm not in the habit of having someone else handle my laptop.”

Miguel knew that every hacker had their own habits. Moreover, their laptops were their core possession. Hence, it was only natural that Anthony was reluctant to allow others to touch his laptop. For that reason, he did not insist.

As they were gearing up to set out, Benjamin and Denise walked out of the house. “You're all going out, Tony?”

Only when Anthony caught sight of them did he remember about them. “Yeah, we're going out to settle something. Would you both like to tag along?”

Glancing over her shoulder, Denise exchanged a look with Benjamin.
