You're Out Daddy

Chapter 868 Even Anthony Was Amazed

Seeing Magus' reaction, Anthony was quite certain that Magus knew nothing about this matter.

“What's wrong? Are you surprised?” Anthony asked.

Miguel wanted to say something. His lips moved slightly, yet he couldn't bring himself to ask anything.

Anthony looked at Magus and said, “This guy is a habitual offender, and I believe it's not just you and Diego who

have been affected. There must be others. Lindon is a person with no bottom line. No matter what he tells you, it

doesn't count, because he's a thorough scoundrel!”

Magus clenched his fists tightly on both sides, his eyes turning a deep shade of crimson red.

Indeed, I despise Lindon and wish I can kill him. However, after the incident occurred, I've always thought that he

just couldn't help himself, which was why he did such a thing to Lina...

Who would have thought that this was all done on purpose by him?

The loyalty Magus once had for Lindon instantly became a joke at this moment.

As Thalia watched Magus gradually become angrier, she simply ignored him and lowered her gaze to look at

Anthony. “Are you telling the truth?”

Anthony locked eyes with Thalia and said, “Do you think I would joke about something like this? If you all don't

believe me, just go and ask around, and you'll find out!”

The phrase “you all” included Magus as well.

It wasn't important whether or not Thalia believed it; what mattered most was that Magus believed it.

Thalia's delicate eyebrows furrowed tightly. “When I went with you to visit Diego, he didn't mention any of this!”

“He didn't say it outright, but I could tell he was holding something back. So, after I left, I did some research!”

Thalia responded, “You found out and didn't tell me?”

“I thought you weren't interested in this!” Anthony exclaimed.

Thalia retorted, “What am I not interested in?”

Anthony was speechless. “Then, I just haven't got the chance to tell you yet.”

Thalia said nothing.

Just as she was about to speak, Anthony quickly changed the subject, his gaze shifting to Magus. He muttered in a

low voice, “Magus, if you truly think that we're meddling in your affairs, we can leave right now. Thalia was right

when she said that you can't take our kindness for granted. We're under no obligation to help you. Honestly, if it

weren't for our admiration for you, we wouldn't have gotten involved in any of this!”

As soon as Anthony finished speaking, Magus' deep gaze fell upon Anthony. His eyes were deep and filled with a

certain complex emotion.

Anthony looked at Magus calmly, continuing with his usual approach. “Also, you don't need to pretend to ask for our

help while actually having your own plans. If that's the case, there's no point in us staying. If you think you can save

Lina, then go ahead. We won't stop you!” As Anthony spoke, his gaze shifted to Thalia, signaling her not to hold

Magus back anymore.

There was an unspoken understanding between Anthony and Thalia. Thalia immediately retracted her arm and

stepped aside, clearing the path for Magus.

Magus just stood there and didn't go out directly.

Anthony had already made his point clear, and Magus was not someone who couldn't understand.

Moreover, Magus was well aware that if he acted alone, the best outcome would be repeating past mistakes.

However, with Lina's mental strength, she might not be able to bear all of this...

After careful consideration, Magus' gaze fell on Anthony. “So when can we rescue Lina?”

Now, the only thing Magus cared about was this.

Magus' question revealed his decision, and Anthony understood it, too.

Anthony lifted his gaze and looked at Magus with a faint expression. “As I said, the time we save Lina depends on

you!”

“I'm ready!” Magus exclaimed and immediately took something out of a bag. It was a hyper-realistic mask, which

didn't seem remarkable at first glance.

Anthony was taken aback. “That fast?”

“It's not that fast. I haven't done this in a long time, so I'm a bit rusty!” Magus replied.

At that moment, Thalia took it from Magus' hand and asked, “Can I give it a try?”

Magus didn't refuse, which meant it was a silent approval.

Thalia picked up the mask and immediately put it on her face.

In no time, the face of an ordinary-looking man vividly appeared on Thalia's face.

Anthony was amazed upon witnessing that.

When it was being held in one's hands, it was nothing more than an ordinary mask. However, once worn on Thalia's

face, it instantly transformed her into a completely different person.

Thalia looked up and tilted her head. “What do you think?”

Anthony paused for a moment before looking at her and said, “It's hideous!”

Thalia responded, “Even if it's hideous, it's not me!”

Anthony looked at Thalia. Having seen the man's photo before, it could be said that the mask looked exactly like the

man's face.

At this moment, Anthony couldn't help but murmur, “I finally understand why there are so many innocent people

who are being falsely accused in this world!”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Magus. “So, Lindon has been using this mask to remain carefree and

untroubled until now, right?”

Undeniably, Magus nodded slightly.

Thalia's lips curled into a smile. “This is much simpler than plastic surgery. After using this to escape, one can

continue living with their own face...” Hearing that, even Anthony couldn't help but marvel at the terrifying nature

of this “disguise” technique.

“So, in the eyes of many people, this kind of thing can only be used for evil deeds!” Magus muttered.

At that moment, Anthony looked at Magus and asked, “Who said that?”

“What else can it be used for?” Magus asked in return.

“I've said it before. It's people who get things done, not objects. How you choose to utilize them is up to you!”

“What would you do if you were in that situation?”

“I can't say that what I've done is entirely reasonable. But the one thing I can guarantee is that I would never use

this to harm good people!”

Magus looked at him, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Regarding Anthony's words, Magus temporarily maintained a neutral stance.

After taking a deep breath, Magus looked at Anthony and brought the conversation back on track. “I've finished

making the item. What should we do next?”

Anthony looked at Magus. “You must have a way to contact Lindon. Otherwise, you wouldn't have thought of going

out and finding him directly just now!”

Since Magus had decided to trust Anthony this time, he no longer hesitated and nodded at the latter.

“How will he contact you?” asked Anthony.

“He said that if I succeeded, I should leave a signal in that abandoned courtyard today, and he would contact me if

he saw it!” Magus confessed directly.

Upon hearing this, Anthony exclaimed, “I didn't expect him to be so cautious!”

“I used to be curious, too. But after hearing what you said, I understand now!” Magus said coldly.

Such a person deserved to be punished by everyone; they simply didn't deserve to live!

Anthony looked at Magus and said after a moment of hesitation, “I was originally planning to wait for him to show

up on his own. But since it's like this, you should leave a message for him. Wait for him to contact you. His planned

time is almost here, so he must be more anxious than us!”

“Is that all?” Magus asked.

Anthony continued, “I believe that no matter what conditions you agree to, he won't tell you Lina's address. He

might even promise you that he'll tell you right away once everything is over, but I believe that's just his rhetoric...”

As Anthony spoke, he stopped and pondered for a moment before adding, “All you need to do is confirm Lina's

safety with him repeatedly, so that he'll be cautious. Leave the rest to me!”
