Chapter 937 No Need Approval
Half an hour later, the tasks were distributed among several people.
Dave looked at them, his expression serious. “When the time comes, everything will be centered on the information. Try to manage your time as best as you can. I believe all of you are seasoned veterans, so I shouldn't need to remind you of this!”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Kenneth stood silently at the side, his gaze fixed on the window with a serious expression.
Meanwhile, Thalia, who was standing nearby, furrowed her eyebrows upon hearing Dave's words. Then, she decided to speak up. “May I suggest something?”
At that moment, everyone turned their attention to her. “Go ahead,” Dave said.
Thalia's gaze swept over them. “It's pointless for me to stay at the rear guard. Anyone can do that job. I'm better off going to Vermillion Base's headquarters!”
Upon hearing that, everyone was slightly taken aback.
Before Dave could say anything, a sudden harsh voice came from the side. “No way!”
Spencer approached her, looking down at her. “You can't go!”
Thalia looked up, speaking softly. “This is my business!”
Spencer's brows furrowed tightly as he looked at her. “Thalia, now is not the time to be willful!”
“Do you think I'm being willful?” Thalia asked him, looking into his eyes. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Spencer looked at her, momentarily at a loss for words.
“I am atoning for my sins!”
“You're innocent. This matter has nothing to do with you. It was me who acted on my own accord—”
“Spencer!” Thalia suddenly called out to him softly, then looked up at him with a complex expression. “I know everything now!”
Spencer looked at her, momentarily at a loss for words.
“Even if not for atonement, I'm willing to take this risk for Natasha. No one is more suitable than me!” Thalia said, emphasizing each word as she looked at him.
Spencer stared at her, wanting to say something, but the words were stuck in his throat.
After a while, his hand rested on her shoulder. Spencer caressed her with both hands. “My presence in the raid of Vermillion Base will be enough. I will definitely find the antidote!”
Thalia, however, disagreed. “You still don't get it after what happened last time? Boss is a wary individual. He won't leave the antidote at home or the base. He must be carrying it on him if he's dealing with us. Therefore, you must follow Kenneth and Dave. Only by finding him can we find the antidote!”
“Still, you—”
“Don't worry. Vermillion Base will be weakened after Boss leaves. It'll actually be the safest place for me to be in. I'll be careful!” Thalia said each word deliberately, looking as if her mind was made up.
Spencer gazed at her while his hands were trembling.
They all understood Boss was a very cautious person. So far, they only had their plan. They had no idea what countermeasures their adversaries might have nor did they know what their enemies
would ultimately do.
Perhaps Boss wouldn't show up at all. In that case, Vermillion Base would be the most dangerous place for Thalia to be in.
Seeing the complex look in Spencer's eyes, Thalia deliberately averted her gaze. Instead, she looked toward Dave and Kenneth, who were off to the side.
“Anyone from your organization can take my place from earlier. As for Vermillion Base, I'll go there!” Thalia said, emphasizing each word.
For a moment, Dave didn't know what to say, his gaze directly fixed on Spencer.
As soon as Dave's sight shifted toward Spencer, Thalia immediately spoke up. “My life is my own. I don't need anyone's approval!”
Spencer looked at her silently. His brows furrowed tightly. He knew that Thalia's words were meant for him.
“Whether you agree or disagree, it doesn't matter because I will definitely go when the time comes. If you agree, then I will proceed as planned. If you disagree, then I will do it on my own!” Thalia said. He'll disrespect the entire plan if he still doesn't agree.
Dave nodded. “Okay!”
He had just agreed when Spencer's gaze turned toward him. “Dave...”
“Don't look at me. I'm all for it if you can convince her not to go!” Dave said directly.
Spencer knew he couldn't blame others for that matter.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I must stress that we are not dealing with some random guy. We are up against the leader of the largest criminal organization in the area, Boss. Therefore, it's crucial that we unify our internal opinions. If we encounter disagreements during our operation, it won't just end with the plan failing!” Dave said, emphasizing each word.
No sooner had he finished speaking than Thalia spoke. “Rest assured. I won't affect the operation. Let's stick to what I just said!”
Seeing that Spencer was no longer speaking, Dave raised an eyebrow. “Okay, let's call it a day then. We should make the most of our time to prepare. See you all tonight!”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
After that, everyone exited Dave's study.
It seemed as if Anthony also had something on his mind. After coming out of the room, he lifted his gaze. “Thalia...”
“Stop right there!” At that moment, Thalia looked at him. “If you're here to persuade me, then forget it. If it's something else, then you can speak!”
Anthony looked at her, his brows deeply furrowed.
Thalia understood his intentions.
At that moment, she stepped forward and looked at Anthony. Unlike her previous carefree demeanor, she now seemed more composed, like a child who had grown up overnight.
“Anthony, I know what you're about to say. However, just as Nat is willing to do things for me, I can do the same for her.” As she spoke, a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. “Don't worry, I'll be fine!”
“How can you be so sure everything will be fine? Do you think Vermillion Base is your family business?” Anthony asked.
Seeing him somewhat anxious, Thalia laughed. “I've been through life and death situations for so many years. How hard could it be to go to Vermillion Base? Don't worry, I'll definitely come back safe and sound, okay?”
“How are you going to guarantee that?” Anthony asked.
Thalia suddenly froze, looking at Anthony. “I don't know... How about if I don't come back, all the money under my name goes to you?”
“Who cares about your money?”
“How do you expect me to guarantee it, then?” Thalia retorted.
Anthony looked at her, his gaze complex. True. How can I ask her to make any guarantees? This journey is a perilous one. No one knows what will happen. What's the point of making promises?
Anthony didn't know what to say. He just stared at her, his fists clenched tightly at his side.
His worry and inner conflict were clear to see. Thalia casually patted his head. “All right, stop being so dramatic. If Nat, who has never received any training, can escape a wolf's den like Vermillion Base, then I certainly can. Besides, I'm not going alone. I've got DX members with me. Don't worry. Nothing will happen.” Thalia assured him, emphasizing each word.
The moment she ended her sentence, Spencer emerged just in time to catch what she had said.
“The reason Natasha was able to escape was that she was smart and lucky enough to do so. Do you really think that everyone can make it out alive from that place?” Spencer walked out and said word by word.
