You're Out Daddy

Chapter 878 In The Final Analysis

Magus could not quite understand the location displayed on the phone, but as soon as Anthony finished talking, Magus swept his gaze all around the area on the spot.

“Lina...” he murmured, all ready to set off.

Fortunately, Anthony was one step ahead of him and gave Thalia a signal. The latter wasted no time in halting the man in his tracks.

“Calm down, Magus. Were you to act rashly and alert the enemy, every ounce of our efforts will go down the drain.” Thalia deliberately emphasized each word to get her point across.

“But no one knows how Lina is right now. Since she's only nearby, can't we just rescue her already?” Magus asked in puzzlement.

“Do you know exactly how many of them there are? Do you know what weapons they have? Fine, then. Assuming there are four of them based on our initial estimate, but the moment we charge in, they'd have more than a hundred different ways to take Lina's life at any time. Do you really think we can save her that easily?” came Anthony's elucidation.

His statement indeed rendered Magus speechless.

“Don't be reckless, and just hear me out,” advised Anthony while pinning his gaze on the man.

After hesitating for some time, Magus eventually bobbed his head in approval.

Right at that moment, Anthony turned to Thalia and went on, “Fifty meters isn't far. I've thought about it, and if I'm not mistaken, it should be right around that corner up ahead.”

Thalia narrowed her eyes to slits at that claim. “How so?”

“At the intersection up ahead, there are at least three routes to leave this place. Based on Magus' earlier description of Lindon, I believe he must be a rather cautious person, always having a contingency plan for himself no matter the situation. Therefore, those three exits up ahead must be his best choices. Most importantly, the view there is excellent, so it's definitely a place they'd pick.” As Anthony spoke, his eyes were fixated on the not-too-distant intersection.

Thalia listened to his speech and felt that he did have a point. After pondering for a moment, she asked, “Are there any other reasons?”

“Of course.”

“Say it!”

“Look around here. This area can be considered a residential district, crowded with people from all walks of life. Most of the residents chose to live here either for the sake of convenience or to save money. At this time of the day, most of them have already turned in. However, there are still two units over there with their lights still on. They even have several rooms all lit up!” Anthony analyzed bit by bit.

Thalia gave a nod as she continued to pay attention. “You're right. That place truly serves as an excellent choice. If I were him, I'd definitely choose that location as well.”

“So?”
