Chapter 1069 I Will Go There Myself
Thalia listened to his words. "Are you suspecting that someone disguised as your father and killed Holden's girlfriend?"
"Exactly! Apart from this, I can't think of anything else!" Anthony said with a serious expression.
Thalia's eyebrows furrowed. After a moment of thought, she said in a low voice, "It's not impossible. Otherwise, this matter really doesn't make sense... But who could that person be, and why would they do such a thing?"
Anthony cast a glance at her. "Isn't this the crux of the matter? If we figure out these two points, won't the truth be revealed?"
Upon hearing that, Thalia nodded repeatedly. "You're absolutely right!"
After finishing her sentence, something seemed to occur to her. She looked at him and asked, "What about now? Any new developments?"
"Yes," Anthony answered decisively.
"What is it?"
"Based on the ID number, I found a foreign website, hacked into their site, and located the original IP address of that person," Anthony said.
Thalia listened and looked at him. "And then? Can't you just tell it all at once?"
"I'm currently screening," Anthony said.
"Screening?"
"With such a massive database, verifying the time and finding those who registered within the same time frame isn't a small task. Do you think it's that easy to find?" Anthony retorted.
Thalia did not know much about the Internet, but looking at Anthony, she said, "I may not understand exactly what needs to be done, but how difficult can it be for you?"
"I'm still a human, okay?" Anthony said.
Upon hearing this, Thalia grinned. "If you hadn't mentioned, I really wouldn't have considered you a human.”
No sooner had her words fallen than Anthony glared at her.
Seeing the situation, Thalia immediately said, "What's wrong? Did I say something incorrectly? How can a kid like you be a hacker? And not just any hacker, but a god-like one at that? Who could possibly see you as an ordinary person?"
Anthony was speechless.
Luckily for her, her mind moved quickly.
Otherwise, he would not know how else to threaten her.
He glanced at her before saying, "If you're not good at giving compliments, then don't. Otherwise, you might unknowingly make an enemy one day."
Thalia laughed nonchalantly. "Do I have a shortage of enemies? One more won't make a difference to me. I don't care!"
Just as Anthony was about to say something, the computer screen suddenly flickered.
Anthony immediately shifted his gaze. Upon seeing that it was a message from Miguel, he clicked on it right away.
Master.
I'm here.
Praise me!
Anthony was confused. What?
Quick, praise me! The words of the person on the other end were tinged with a hint of smugness.
Get straight to the point. Let it all out.
Miguel felt a bit hurt. Can't you be a little gentler with me?
Gentle? Are you asking for a beating? Anthony asked.
Miguel was dumbstruck.
Are you going to tell me yourself, or do I have to hack into your computer? Anthony asked directly.
No, please don't! From the other end of the computer, Miguel sent a flurry of exclamation marks. If you hack into my computer, Dave will definitely kill me.
Well, are you going to tell me or not? Anthony retorted.
At that moment, Thalia was sitting next to Anthony and closely observing his face. She could tell something new had come up just by looking at him. Her gaze was also fixed on the computer screen. However, after seeing what Miguel had typed, she could not help but exclaim, "This kid is just asking for a beating! Why didn't I give him a good thrashing when I was over there!"
No sooner had she finished speaking than a screenshot was sent over from the other side with one part marked out in red.
Miguel typed: This is it. My buddies and I spent two days and two nights to find this original address.
Upon opening the image, Anthony's eyes slightly narrowed when he saw a set of IP addresses.
At that moment, Miguel continued, This IP address, I've checked, is from a small town in Irushea.
Irushea?
Exactly, that's right. And I didn't find anything wrong with the address either.
"But the appearance of this account is the biggest issue," Anthony mumbled to himself.
Miguel was confused. Master, what exactly are you investigating?
After some thought, Anthony replied. Some personal matters.
All right then. Is there anything else you need my help with? Miguel asked directly.
No need. I'll look for you if I need your help.
Okay.
So, Anthony stared at the set of IP addresses. Even though Miguel assured him there was no issue, Anthony remained unconvinced. He decided to follow that address and investigate further.
The final outcome indeed led him to a small town in Epea.
Looking at that set of addresses, he fell into deep thought.
Just by looking at the address, indeed, no issues could be discerned.
But if there's no issue, why would someone all the way in Epea go to the trouble of creating an account and adding Magus to ask about my father's affairs?
There's still an issue with this matter!
Watching Anthony remain silent, Thalia turned her head to look at him. "What are you thinking about?"
Anthony came back to his senses and looked at her. "Nothing."
"What's with that expression on your face? Also, what's displayed on there?" Thalia asked.
"I found the address."
"And then?" asked Thalia.
"Judging by the address, this place
is in a small town in Epea. I don't see any issues, and after looking around, it seems to be a very ordinary residential area," said Anthony.
Thalia's gaze slightly narrowed. After a moment of thought, she spoke directly, "Don't beat around the bush. Just tell me. What exactly are you thinking?"
After pondering for a moment, Anthony looked at her and said, "I can't quite put my finger on it, but something about this seems off!"
"Well, what if it's a friend of your daddy's who heard you were asking about him, so he came to check on you?" Thalia asked.
"Could someone lurking in the
disguise world be my dad's friend? If
that were the case, when I initially went to find. Magus, my dad would have stopped me, or at least told me. But he didn't, and I've never heard him mention knowing such a person. Moreover... if he really is my dad's friend, why didn't he ask using his own identity? Instead, he created a new virtual account," Anthony retorted.
"Could it be fear of revenge?" Thalia asked in return.
"If someone asks, they can simply say they have a grudge against my father. There's no need to make a fuss about it," Anthony said.
Thalia asked, "Isn't it okay to be cautious?"
"You won't get caught if you're careful," Anthony confidently told her while looking at her.
"Well, they didn't expect to run into such a tough nut to crack."
No matter what, Thalia had a reason for everything.
However, Anthony did not necessarily want to convince her. After all, her doubts were reasonable.
Allow for any possibility, and permit everything to happen.
After a moment of contemplation, Anthony looked at her. "Thalia, I want to personally visit this place."
"What!"
