You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 864

Seemingly noticing his hesitation, Thalia leaned in and said, “You can tell me, too.”

After hesitating for a long time, Magus finally whispered into her ear.

Upon hearing this, Thalia's face instantly darkened.

“What the hell!” Thalia could not help but burst into anger.

Anthony looked at her and asked, “What's wrong?”

“That person, no, that's not even a person. He's worse than a beast!” Thalia angrily cursed. If that person were in front of her, she would probably kill him without hesitation.

Anthony looked at her, then at Magus. As if he had guessed something, he asked, “Is it related to Lina?”

Thalia tried hard to control her emotions. She looked at Anthony hesitantly before nodding.

He did not press further. Instead, looked at Magus and asked, “May I ask if you want them to have a taste of their own medicine, or do you still hold true to what you said the other day and that you won't take matters into your own hands for the sake of satisfaction?”

“Their own medicine?” Magus looked at him, not quite understanding the meaning.

“Exactly. Do you want them to experience what it's like to be caught and be treated like you went through back then?” Anthony asked.

Magus finally understood the meaning and looked at him. “What he fears most is being trapped. He used to say he longs for freedom the most, so he never wants to go to that place in his entire life.”

“Sometimes, the best way to torment someone is to make their life worse than death,” Anthony said as he stared intently at Magus.

“No!” Magus stared at Anthony. “It's not what's going to happen to him, but me. Someone like him doesn't deserve to live in this world. Every day he continues to live is the greatest insult to those he has hurt.”

Upon hearing this, Anthony roughly understood his meaning. “Okay, I got it.”

“When can we take action?” Magus asked directly, as he was genuinely worried about Lina. He knew the longer Lina stayed captive, the more danger she was in.

“That's up to you,” Anthony said.

Magus looked at him, puzzled.

At that moment, Anthony looked at him and said. “Just do what he asks. Whatever he proposes, follow it. If you can complete it in the shortest time, then we can start our work sooner.”

“Do you plan to lure him out with something that Magus made?” At this moment, Thalia asked from the side.

Anthony nodded. “That's right.”

Magus looked at him. “Even if he comes out, how will you find Lina? If he comes to meet me, he definitely won't bring Lina with him.”

Anthony chuckled upon hearing this. “That's my job. I'm absolutely confident in finding Lina, but it's up to your skills whether you can lure him.”

Seeing Anthony's confident expression, Magus said, “Okay, I understand what you mean.”

He was about to get up and leave but almost stumbled and fell due to his injuries.

Thalia noticed and said, “Be careful.”

Magus was unbothered. He forced himself to stand up and left. “Wait for my news.”

Anthony nodded slightly at those words.

Magus got up and started walking toward the outside, but he suddenly stopped after taking a few steps.

Turning around, he looked at Anthony and said, “Hey...”

Hearing this, Anthony also looked at him. “Is there anything else?”

Magus hesitated for a moment. “Do you want to take a look?”

At this moment, Thalia looked at Magus and asked, “Is this where you work?”

“Yes.” Magus nodded.

Looking at the tools on the table, Thalia picked them up to examine them and then put them down. “These things are quite common.”

Magus did not say a word but walked straight to a table. He lifted the cloth on top, took out a photograph, and placed it on the table. After taking a look, he began to prepare the materials.

The two observed him as he was about to start working. Thalia walked over and examined him, then curiously asked, Can't machinery make these disguises? Aren't there scanners recently that can directly create them?”

“The machine can scan, but it still requires a human touch,” Magus said without lifting his head.

“Wouldn't scanning be faster?” Thalia said after a moment of ponder as she nodded with a vague understanding. As she spoke, she glanced around and added, “I'll give you a scanner later.”

“No need,” Magus directly refused.

“You don't have to feel embarrassed. Consider it a gift from me to you and Lina.”

“It's not that I'm embarrassed, but the machine scanning is too rigid. Machinery can replace humans in some things, but only a part of it. You still need to do some things by hand,” Magus said as he looked at her. With that, he lowered his gaze and continued working.

After hearing this, Thalia thought he made quite a bit of sense and did not argue. Raising her eyebrows slightly, she said, “All right, then. If that's the case, I'll save my money.”

Magus did not continue the conversation as he began his handcrafting his disguise.

Anthony watched from the side, his gaze growing increasingly profound as he watched Magus' movements.

He had previously only seen such things in movies, where he admired the development of technology. However, as he watched Magus' detailed hand-carving, he realized true craftsmanship was often the most primitive technique.

Even though machines were gradually replacing many things, some things could never be replaced, such as the soul of a product.
