Chapter 1100 Knowing Oneself And The Enemy
After Anthony finished speaking. Thalia nodded in agreement. “You're absolutely right.”
They looked at Lic, awaiting his response.
Lio pursed his lips. Under their intense gaze, he remained silent for a long time.
Anthony's patience was wearing thin. “It seems we're done here.” With that, he glanced at the door. “The door is over there. I won't see you out.” “Goodbye.” Thalia also waved at him.
Seeing that they had ordered him to leave, Rio furrowed his brows. After a long pause. he looked at them and asked, “Would it count if I could find out some information about Lobeck?”
Anthony looked at him in surprise, but he soon recollected himself. "Of course it counts, but how would I know if you're telling the truth or not?” “How could I possibly joke about a matter of life and death? If you don't believe me, I can hand everything over to you,” Lio said. Anthony and Thalia sized him up. their expressions a mix of skepticism and belief.
‘If it's possible, could you guys come with me?” Lio asked.
Thalia narrowed her eyes. “Where to?”
“My home.”
“Your home? What for?"
There was a deep and profound look in Lio's eyes. “There are things over there that might pique your interest.
Thalia and Anthony exchanged a glance.
After a while, Anthony nodded. “All right, we can go with you. But if the items don't pique our interest...”
“All right.” Lio nodded.
And so, the three of them set out together.
Before long, they arrived at Lio's house by car.
After the car came to a halt, Lio was just about to get out when Thalia suddenly reached out to stop him. “Don't try any tricks,” she warned, “or else, you'll regret it.”
Lio simply got out of the car, and Anthony followed
Seeing this, Thalia immediately followed suit and got out of the car.
Watching Anthony trailing behind Lio, Thalia couldn't help but say, “You should stand behind me.”
Anthony understood what she meant and said, “Even if he wanted to find a place to ambush us, he wouldn't choose his own home.” “Indeed, but remember, appearances can be deceiving. It's always wise to be cautious,” said Thalia.
Anthony let out a sigh and obediently positioned himself behind Thalia. “Is this okay now?”
Thalia nodded in great satisfaction. “It would be nice if you always behaved so obediently like this.
Lio led the way, ascended the small building, and arrived at the door of the room. He then proceeded to open the door.
Thalia surveyed her surroundings, her gaze filled with caution
“Come in,” said Lio. After he entered, he turned on the light. The situation inside was just as it was when they left yesterday, with no significant differences.
After Thalia and Anthony entered, Lio subsequently closed the door.
Thalia looked at him. “What exactly are you trying to do?”
Lio glanced at them, aware of their guardedness. He sighed and said, “Follow me.” With that, he walked toward a wall. In one direction on the wall, he ran his hand over it, then knocked on it several times
The wall that was white just moments ago suddenly transformed into transparent glass and then promptly opened up. Upon witnessing this scene, Anthony and Thalia couldn't help but exchange another glance.
“The thing you want is inside,” Lio said, then took the lead and walked in.
Thalia glanced at Anthony and followed him inside.
“Be careful,” Thalia cautioned in a low voice.
“Okay.” Anthony nodded.
The space inside wasn't large. It was merely a small room of a few square meters. Upon entering, they found the walls covered in various items.
Lio looked at those items with mixed feelings. “I know these things might not meanmuch to you, and perhaps they are tatters you could easily look up, However, for me, theyc, represent a significant expenditure of-tnanpower, financial reseurces, dfid time.”
Thalia went forward and saw that the wall was filled with information about Lobeck. Anthony also looked around. It was hard not to believe at that moment that Lio and Lobeck were enemies.
Seeing that they all remained silent, Lio walked up to a bulletin board. It was already filled with all sorts of information. From there, he found a piece of paper.
“This is what you asked for.” Lio turned to look at Anthony. Upon hearing the sound, Anthony turned his gaze toward him. Seeing what he held in his hand, he walked over step by step. It was a printed email, densely filled with Ustranian words.
“This is the email that Lobeck sent years ago, urging my friend to find the letter on having someone disguised as Kenneth. After my friend was silenced, everything related to him was erased. This is what he sent to me, and I kept it.
Anthony had grown up abroad since childhood, hence he was highly proficient in Ustranian and knew what was written there. Holding that printed paper, he couldn't help but grip it much harder.
‘I'm not sure whether it counts as evidence. You may even suspect that I fabricated it, but if you can find the person who sent this letter, perhaps you can verify the truth of my words,” Lio said.
Anthony stared at the email, unsure of what to say for a long while.
“Indeed, I don't know how useful this will be to you,” Lio added. “These are the things I've found over the years. I'm not sure if they'll be of any help to you, but this is all I can do.”
At that moment, Thalia was at her most rational
She briefly glagced at the items on the wall, thepturned her gaze to Lio. “Over the-past decade, you've spared no effortor expense in investigating these Aratters, even going so faras Ke) create this secret room. Itcant be as-simple as you claim, just'Seeking revenge for your friend, can it?”
She believed in friendship, but she didn't believe in people knowingly engaging in futile endeavors.
It didn’t quite conform to common sense.
Therefore, she was always skeptical about this.
A glint of coldness flashed in Lio's slightly narrowed eyes. “Yes, you're right. I indeed have more reasons than just him... Thalia looked at him, waiting for a reason that could convince her.
Lio clenched his fists and declared, "Because among those who died that day was my younger brother!”
Thalia was taken aback for a moment.
“When the pegple from Lobeck came to silence us, we were drinking together that day. The alcohol ran out, and (happened to go out to buy more. twas during this time that they arrived, They mistook my. younger brother for me and-killed him too...” Lio said, his eyes filled with hatred.
Upon hearing these words, Thalia instantly understood I see. If that's the case, it's understandable why he's so obsessed with this.
It wasn't that she particularly enjoyed prying into other people's privacy. She understood well that only by knowing the other party's boundaries and intentions could she confidently accept everything.NôvelDrama.Org content.
After all, only by knowing oneself and the enemy can one win every battle.
