Tony 's gaze turned to Magus and said, “Although it's a bit dangerous, at least it can ensure Lina's safety. What do you think?”
Magus unhesitantly replied, “Of course, Lina's safety comes first!”
Tony nodded and said, “Alright, that's settled then. When the time comes, Miguel will join Thalia. As for you, I'll be ready to support you anytime!”
As soon as he said that, Thalia, standing nearby, suddenly said in a light and airy tone, “You? What can you do?”
After pondering for a moment, Tony looked at her and said, “Although I might not be the best in terms of physical strength, I'm still quite capable intellectually!”
“Come on, if something happens to you, how am I supposed to explain it to Mommy and the entire Darknetz?” said Thalia and couldn't help but add, “And what do you mean by not quite the best?”
Your physical strength is the worst.
Tony looked at her and sighed helplessly as he said, “Let's see, you have to say I'm not good enough for you to be satisfied, right?”
“That's right,” said Thalia as she nodded, her eyes filled with playful teasing.
Tony sighed helplessly. “So what now? Do you have a solution to this?”
“Well, you see...” said Thalia.
“If you have nothing else to say, then shut up,” said Tony .
“Who says I don't have anything else to say?” retorted Thalia suddenly as she looked at Tony and added, “So you think I have been just messing around, huh?”
Upon hearing this, Tony caught a hint of the underlying meaning.
Looking at her, his black eyes narrowed slightly as he asked, “What do you mean by that? Do you have a solution?”
“Not only do I have a solution, but I also have the right person for it!” said Thalia, glancing at Tony with her face lighting up with a proud little expression.
“You have the right person for it? Who is it?” asked Tony immediately.
Thalia had always managed to give him unexpected surprises.
Upon seeing Tony 's ingratiating gaze, Thalia instantly put on an attitude and said, “Oh, I seem to recall someone just telling me to shut up.” As she spoke, she even acted like a madam, casually picking her ear with an impatient expression flashing across her face.
Tony was bereft of speech after he heard that.
He took a deep breath.
He patiently looked at Thalia with a smile on his face as he cajoled, “I was just joking, don't take it seriously.”
“That's how you joke? I can't tell,” said Thalia, still maintaining her composure.
At this moment, Tony looked at her and said, “Alright! Alright! I'm sorry. I was wrong. Can you please let it go in consideration of Magus's anxious expression? Can we move on?”
Thalia glanced around and upon seeing the silent Magus nearby, decided to let it go. She mumbled softly, “I'll let you off this time for Magus' sake!”
“Come on, tell me,” urged Tony as he looked at her expectantly.
Thalia spoke up. “They are not the only ones who have people assisting them, I can ask for backup as well!”
“Ask for backup? Where do we go for backup?” asked Tony .
“Of course, we go look for backup among our buddies in Darknetz!” said Thalia.
Tony 's eyes showed a hint of disappointment as he said, “Will there be enough time for our buddies to arrive? The situation can change at any moment, and it would be hard to explain to Sam if they make the trip for nothing.”
Upon hearing this, Thalia couldn't help but sigh and say, “Who said I was going to ask for backup from headquarters?”
Tony paused as he keenly sensed something. “What do you mean?” he asked.
Thalia rolled her eyes at him and said, “Come on, you're supposed to be the leader or number one in Darknetz. How can you know so little about it?”
Tony was getting a bit anxious. He looked at Thalia and said, “I've only dabbled in certain areas and haven't studied them in depth. Just get to the point!”
Thalia directly countered back. “Why do you think Sam has a house here?”
Tony squinted at her as he asked, “Are you saying that there's also Darknetz's influence here?”
Thalia with a hint of mystery in her tone, scoffed, “What do you mean by here? Any place you can think of, they are there. Although there aren't many people, it's more than enough to deal with those little thieves.”
Upon hearing this, Tony couldn't help but exclaim, “Why didn't you say so earlier?”
“You didn't ask me either!” retorted Thalia.
Tony choked out, “Do I even need to ask about something like this?”
“I thought you knew!” responded Thalia.
Tony was again rendered speechless by her.
I want to scream!
What am I supposed to say to that!
Forget it! It's better not to say anything. I need to spend a whole day understanding Darknetz fully.
Otherwise, there would be too many restrictions.
However, he only thought about this matter in his mind. For now, he still needed to plan how to deal with Lindon.
“How many people can you ask to come as backup?” asked Tony .
Thalia thought for a moment and said, “How many people do you want?”
“Of course, the more the merrier!” said Tony .
“A hundred or so people then?” asked Thalia as she raised an eyebrow.
Tony was stunned before he replied, “Didn't you say there weren't many people?”
“Is a hundred people a lot?” asked Thalia in return, her eyes genuinely reflecting her innocence.
Tony croaked, “... I guess I'm just inexperienced.”
Thalia's lips curled into a smile as she said, “Don't worry, I will broaden your horizons in the future.”
Tony glanced at her and said, “Seriously, how many people exactly?”
“Give me a number and you can have them!” said Thalia earnestly.
Tony thought over it carefully before saying, “Twenty or so people should be enough. Ten people will follow you and another ten will follow Magus.”
Thalia stammered, “...That's all?”
“You can take on ten opponents yourself, so why do we need so many people? I only need the people going over to ensure Lina's safety,” said Tony .
Just as Thalia was about to say something, Tony added, “Of course, your safety is also important.”
Upon hearing this, Thalia finally nodded in satisfaction. “That's more like it.”
Tony immediately responded, “When will everyone be in place?”
“Anytime,” said Thalia.
Tony nodded and said, “Then let's all be in position half an hour before the plan starts tomorrow.”
“Alright!” agreed Thalia.
At this moment, Tony turned his head to look at Magus as he explained, “As planned, invite Lindon out tomorrow. Leave the rest to us.”
Magus looked at them for a long time without saying a word.
Tony looked at him, frowning, “Do you have any other concerns?”
Magus shook his head. “No.”
“So, then why are you...?” asked Tony .
Magus took a deep breath and said, “I just don't know what to say.”
“First, let's rescue Lina, then we can talk,” said Tony .
Magus looked at him and nodded. “Alright.”
Afterward, Tony explained the situation to Thalia in detail and made a simple plan. “Since the surrounding area is residential, we should try our best to avoid making too much noise and harming the nearby people. It would be best if we could carry out our actions quietly...” explained Tony .
On the side, Magus and Thalia listened intently, nodding in seriousness.
Even though Tony was the youngest in the car, he acted just like a leader.
Magus, who was at the side gazed at Tony , his eyes growing increasingly conflicted...
“So that's the plan. Is that okay?” asked Tony , looking at them after explaining this.
Thalia directly stretched out her hand and made an okay gesture.
His gaze then shifted to Magus, who was nearby. Magus' eyes were deep and his expression complex. Upon seeing their gazes, he nodded gravely and said, “No problem.”
Tony nodded and looked at him, comforting him, “Don't worry. Lina will be fine.”
Magus wanted to say something, but it felt like a fishbone stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a word.
After a while, he could only nod in agreement.
Let's discuss after everything ends tomorrow.
