You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth)

Chapter 1089 Just A Figure To Me

After a moment of contemplation, Anthony said, “All right, I agree to your request.”

“Aren't you going to ask me how much I want?” the young man asked.

With a light chuckle, Anthony walked over. He pulled out a chair and sat right in front of him. “No matter the amount, it's just a figure to me.”

Thalia was rendered speechless.

Looking at him at that moment, she somewhat felt that he had been possessed by Kenneth. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

I know your family is wealthy. But is there really a need to show off like this?

She glanced at him before shifting her gaze to the young man across from her and said, “Why are you spacing about? He's not joking with you. He has plenty of the item you want.”

The young man studied Anthony, realizing once more that he shouldn't judge a book by its cover.

“Stop dragging your feet. Are you going to speak up or not?” Thalia's patience was already wearing thin by that point.

The young man gradually snapped back his senses. He glanced at Thalia. “Didn't I say I would talk?” As he spoke, he glanced at the gun pressed against him. “Could you take it away? It's scaring me.”

Thalia threw a look at him. Without saying anything, she promptly put her gun away.

Upon seeing that, the young man finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“The situation is such. About the matter you asked about, I indeed have some recollection...” the young man began slowly with his eyes on them. But upon seeing them listen attentively, he

unexpectedly shot up and dashed toward the door.

However, just as he had jumped to his feet and was about to run, Thalia seemed to have anticipated it. With a swift stretch of her leg, he tripped and went facedown.

A loud thud rang out as the young man fell heavily onto the ground.

At that, a sneer crept onto Thalia's face. She then walked over and stomped a leg right onto his back. “Punk, I have played that trick of yours from young.”

The young man lay sprawled on the ground, remaining motionless for a long time.

Right then, Thalia looked up and glanced at Anthony. “What's the plan now? Do we beat him into confessing or kill him outright?”

Anthony narrowed his eyes. Then, he walked toward the young man and crouched down before him. “Actually, whether you talk is no longer important to us. If we can't learn the truth, you are the truth. The contents of your computer can serve as evidence. Since you want to be a scapegoat for someone else, I'll oblige!”

While saying that, he cast a look at Thalia. “Just kill him. I've already backed up everything on the computer. We'll have something to report back.”

Hearing that, Thalia nodded. “Okay.”

“I'll wait for you outside.” With that, Anthony turned around and headed out.

Admittedly, as the young man lay on the ground, Anthony's final utterance moved him deeply.

I simply did a task for someone else and didn't think much about the consequences!

With that thought in mind, he immediately called out at Anthony's retreating figure. “Wait! Wait a moment!”

Anthony halted in his tracks, turning back to look at him.

“I'm talk, I'll talk!” the man exclaimed repeatedly.

Anthony chuckled softly. “No, it's okay. I don't have the patience for this anymore. Besides, I won't be able to tell whether you're speaking the truth. So, you might as well play the scapegoat!”

“No, no, no!” The young man hastily shook his head, a mix of Chanaean and Ustranian streaming out of his mouth. “No, that's not it! I will speak the truth! I'm serious! Please believe me!”

“No, it's okay.”

“Y-You're here for someone named Kenneth Hamilton, aren't you?” the young promptly cried out, his eyes locked on Anthony's back.

At the mention of Kenneth's name, Anthony's heart skipped a beat.

“I can tell you the truth. I'll tell you everything!” the young man said, his eyes still on Anthony's back.

Seeing that, Thalia immediately grabbed him by the back and hoisted him up. Then, with a swift backward swing, she sent him tumbling back into his chair. Nonchalantly pulling another chair over, she effectively trapped him in place.

“Ahh!”

With two chairs crushing his legs between them, the young man howled in pain.

Thalia, on the other hand, appeared completely unconcerned. She casually took a seat nearby. Crossing her legs, she looked at him with a relaxed and elegant demeanor. “Shut up!”

Upon hearing that, the young man immediately forced himself to zip his mouth.

“I'm giving you one last chance. If you don't talk properly, don't blame me for showing you no mercy,” Thalia said softly.

At that, the young man nodded profusely.

“Have a seat and give him another chance!” Thalia beckoned at Anthony, seemingly offering him a way out.

The two of them worked together perfectly.

Following that, Anthony also took a seat across from the young man.

After pulling through the pain, the young man looked at Anthony. “This is how things went. One night a week ago, I received a private message. Someone came to me with a photo of a man named Kenneth Hamilton, asking if I had seen him before.”

Anthony looked at him. “And then?”

“That man...” The young man seemed somewhat hesitant. He observed Anthony and Thalia as if weighing things in his mind.

“You've seen him before?”

The young man immediately shook his head. “No, no. I've never seen him!”

“If so, why would you ask others with a new account?” Anthony asked in return.

“May I ask you a question?” the young man ventured timidly, looking at Thalia and Anthony.

“What do you think?” Thalia retorted.

It was evident that Anthony and Thalia didn't intend to say anything, so the young man steeled himself and divulged, “I have never seen the man in the flesh, but I knew of him from a decade ago!”

Speaking of that, both Anthony and Thalia were momentarily taken aback.

“Go on.” Anthony fixed his eyes on the young man.

“It's like this... A decade ago, I was an intermediary. That is to say, I was responsible for helping people accept jobs, thereby earning a commission from them.”

“Get to the point!” Anthony stared at him.

“The point is, a decade ago, I received an assignment. That assignment was to find someone skilled in disguise to disguise as the man in the photo.”

Upon hearing that, Anthony bore his eyes into the young man. “Do you still remember when, the exact date and place? How did you guys communicate?”

“I'll have to think about the exact date, but I remember it was summer. As for how we communicated, it was naturally through the internet!” the young man replied.

Summer... It just so happens that the incident involving Daddy and Holden's girlfriend also took place during summer. This absolutely couldn't have been a coincidence!

Anthony looked at him. “Who was the client? And did the person mention his intention?”

“Generally, our kind of business operates in the shadows. Naturally, we avoid asking too many questions. Therefore, I certainly wouldn't ask a client his intention in using our services. As for his identity, I have no idea.”

Upon hearing that, Anthony frowned.

Beside him, Thalia interjected in a drawl at that precise moment, “So, you've talked at length, but it's all useless?”

“But that's all I know,” the young man said.

Thalia let out a cold laugh. “If that's the case, why would you still be so invested in this matter after all this time, even going as far as creating a new account to ask when you saw someone else asking about it?”

“I... I just felt that it was too much of a coincidence. I was also afraid of arousing suspicion. So, I changed to a new account to ask!” the young man explained, looking them in the eye.
