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

It was about one or two kilometers away.

Not that far.

When Anthony went out, a car was already parked at the door.

Seeing that, Thalia unlocked it with the key.

Upon seeing that, Anthony suddenly halted in his tracks.

When Thalia reached the driver's seat, she noticed that the latter hadn't followed. She turned around and asked, "What's the matter? Let's go!" said Thalia.

"This car..."

Seeing his confusion, Thalia replied, "I rented it this afternoon!" As she spoke, she raised an eyebrow. "What do you think, isn't this car pretty low-key?!" "What does this have anything to do with low-key..."

"Why not? Haven't you always disliked my flamboyance? This time I specifically chose a black, off-road, and affordable vehicle!" Thalia said.

Anthony wanted to say something else, but given the circumstances, there was nothing much he could do.

With a helpless sigh, he followed her into the car.

After fastening his seatbelt, Anthony couldn't help but say, "Actually, taking a taxi would only take a few minutes!"

Thalia was driving when she heard his words. "But I'm used to driving myself, it's safer!"

Speaking of which, it was only then that Anthony realized, in their line of work, hailing a cab was indeed inconvenient. This was because there was always a possibility of being ambushed by enemies at any moment.

Upon reflecting on this, he realized that he had been careless.

Anthony nodded. "Understood!"

"All right, take a break for a bit, we'll be there soon!" Thalia said.

Anthony, however, promptly pulled out his computer, and proceeded to recheck that IP address. After confirming its accuracy, he squinted his eyes.

He didn't know what awaited him that day, but he had an intuition. The answers he sought were not far off...

As he was lost in his thoughts, the car came to a halt. Thalia turned to him. "We're here."

Regaining his composure, Anthony turned his gaze toward the window.

At this point, the sky had already darkened, and they found themselves in an alley that wasn't particularly wide. "Let's go!" Thalia said.

Thalia nodded, then packed up the computer and set it aside.

After tidying up, he finally got out of the car with Thalia.

The long, winding alley appeared clean and quaint, almost resembling a delicate little town.

The road was somewhat steep, but upon looking out, it held a unique charm.

After surveying his surroundings, Anthony's brows furrowed slightly. "Is this a residential area?"

Thalia nodded. "By the looks of it, I think so!"

The two exchanged a look, and in Anthony's eyes, there was a hint of a feeling that something was amiss. "Since we're already here, we might as well see what's going on!" said Thalia.

Anthony nodded. "Yes."

"Which address, which house?"

Anthony picked up his phone to check the address, then pointed to the road ahead, exclaiming, "Here!" "Let's go!"

Thus, the two individuals followed the directions on their mobile phone and journeyed all the way there.

After circling around a few times, Anthony and Thalia finally found themselves standing before a blue gate. They exchanged looks once again. "Are we sure this is the place?" Thalia asked.

Anthony nodded. "According to the address displayed, this is the place!"

Thalia nodded. "All right!" she said, and reached out to knock on the door.

"Wait!" Anthony suddenly spoke up.

"What?" Thalia asked.

"What if it's not?"

"Don't you believe in yourself?" Thalia suddenly asked.

"Of course!"

"Since the address pointed here, it's only natural to check it out. Otherwise, it's either you're the one with the issue, not him!" Thalia enunciated each word. Upon hearing this, Anthony nodded. "Makes sense."

"Then I shall knock!"

"Right!" Anthony nodded.

After some thought, Thalia looked at him and said, "Stand back!"

Baffled, Anthony instinctively took a step back.

Thalia's brows furrowed. "Stand over there."

After one glance, Anthony understood what Thalia meant. Not wanting to implicate her, he distanced himself.

At that moment, Thalia took a deep breath, then raised her hand and knocked on the door.

Before long, the door was opened from the inside.

A foreign youth opened the door and looked at Thalia. The person paused, "Who are you looking for?"

Thalia glanced inside, then smiled. "Hello, is this No. 109?"

The individual cast a wary glance at Thalia, then promptly declared, "No!" With that, he moved to close the door.

However, Thalia didn't waste any words, she directly reached out and blocked it.

The man looked at Thalia, his eyes instantly filled with displeasure. "What are you doing?"

Thalia's lips curled up in a smile. "Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't finished speaking yet."

The man's hand seemed to be stealthily reaching toward something. Thalia, of course, noticed it. Just as the man was preparing to ambush Thalia, a gun was already pointed directly at his forehead. With a smile as radiant as ever, Thalia asked, "So, who was faster, you or me?"

The man was immediately frightened into immobility, staring at Thalia as he pleaded, "Don't be rash, whatever you want, even if it's money, I can give it to you."

Thalia, however, kicked the door open without hesitation. Seeing the gun in his hand, she took it from him and tossed it aside. Then, she turned toward Anthony and said, "It's just him, come on in!" Upon hearing that, Anthony made his way in.

Upon seeing Anthony, the foreign young man's brows furrowed deeply. He looked at the two of them. "What exactly are you trying to do?"

Anthony stepped inside, casting a glance around. It was a modest two-room apartment. A few computers were arranged outside, while inside, there was only a bed and a table, simple and unadorned. Once he was sure there was no one else inside but him, Anthony leisurely closed the door.

The person looked on, then asked uneasily, "Who are you all, really?"

"Shut up!" Thalia commanded in a low voice.

Anthony turned around, giving him a smile. "Don't be afraid, we're not bad people!"

"Isn't it the bad guys who hold guns to other people's heads?" the man muttered.

"You were the first to grab the gun, weren't you?" Thalia asked.

"When a stranger comes to my door, of course I have to be cautious, I was merely defending myself!" the man argued.

"Hehe..." Thalia laughed, "Is that so? Then I'm afraid you're set up for a defense failure because I can blow your head at any moment."

The man instantly fell silent.

At that moment, Anthony glanced at Thalia, who responded with a nod. Without further ado, Anthony walked toward the man's computer and began to inspect it.

Seeing this, the foreign youth tried to intervene. "What are you trying to do? Don't touch my computer!"

Thalia, however, somehow managed to snag a chair from somewhere. With a swift kick, the man found himself seated on it. Thalia strode over and towered over him. "You'd best keep quiet, or don't blame me for being rude!"

Thalia's smooth and practiced maneuvers were evident that she was a trained professional to anyone who watched. Even if he was reluctant, he dared not voice any objections at that moment.

Panting heavily, he looked at Thalia. "Don't be impulsive, don't shoot, let's have a calm conversation!"

Thalia's lips curled into a cold smirk, then she lifted his gaze toward Anthony. At that moment, he was meticulously examining each computer, his expression serious.
