NovelEnglishChapter 458
Anthony lifted his head and looked at Thalia.
“And one more thing: there's no reduction in number because of their deaths. The uninhabited zone is
no longer uninhabited now,” Thalia continued, enunciating every single word clearly.
Anthony looked outside.
Indeed, many more different faces had appeared on the streets. Each one told a different story and had
different hopes.
“Can you see them? If they were afraid, they would not have come. This is a choice!” Thalia said.
“But—”
“There are no buts. Boss' serious injury yesterday is our best chance. Find Kenneth and work with him.
When the time comes, cooperate with the men on the list and capture Boss. The mission is complete
once you have saved Nat.”
Anthony's spirits lifted after he heard those words.
Looking outside, Anthony thought for a while, then returned his gaze to Thalia. “Identify that person for
me and see if he has any kin. Then, compensate them according to the highest scheme.”

hardship. Inherent in his being is good character and kindness. But then again, whoever said that one
must be hard-hearted to rule? A humane ruler can be successful too. “Okay. Just leave it to me.”
Anthony took a deep breath, looked outside, and walked out.
As Thalia said, on that day, the uninhabited zone was no longer the way it was. Suddenly, there were
crowds everywhere. Just overnight, it seemed to have changed into a bustling zone.
Yet, that was just as well, as their arrival would not be deemed unusual. After all, it was now filled with
men and women of all ages.
As they walked around, they would only be part of the crowd.
However, the bigger the crowd was, the harder it would be for them to find Kenneth.
Using the car as the center point, Anthony, Benjamin, and Thalia searched another round, but to no
avail.
After that search, they began to feel hungry. Only then did they realize it was already noon.
“Shall we continue the search after having some food?” Thalia looked at them for an answer.
Anthony frowned. “I'm not very hungry!”
“Me neither,” Benjamin said.
Thalia looked at the time. “It's already one o'clock. You must eat even if you don't feel hungry.
Otherwise, you won't have the energy to keep on searching later. Besides, you won't have the strength
to catch up with Kenneth if you spot him!”
The two could not argue, as they knew that Thalia was right, so they finally nodded.
They went to a small restaurant by the roadside and ordered some food.
The area was remote and at the border of the uninhabited zone. Hence, supplies were not abundant.
The food was simple, and there was no good quality food that was really tasty. They just had enough to
fill their tummies.
After they ordered their food, Thalia looked at the supermarket on the opposite side of the road and
said, “You guys wait here. I'm going there to buy something.”
The two nodded.
Thalia got up and went in the direction of the supermarket.
Perhaps it was because of the increase in the number of customers today, the sales was going well in
the supermarket. The shelves were emptying fast, and the owner looked happy.
Thalia walked once through the aisles of the supermarket and picked some chocolates and junk food.
She was going to pay for the items when a figure walked past outside. She glanced up, and when she

For a moment, she was stunned. She dropped her items and quickly ran out to give chase.
By then, the familiar figure had just turned a corner and entered an alley.
Without hesitation, Thalia ran after him.
When she reached the alley, it was empty.
She walked down the alley, which led to many other junctions, but the figure was no longer in sight. It
was as if she had been mistaken about the figure she thought she had seen.
Thalia stood at the junction and was dumbfounded for a long time. She could not help laughing at
herself.
Thalia, oh, Thalia, have you gone nuts? It's impossible for you to bump into him here. He can't be here.
You're really hopeless.
Thalia turned to go back. However, because of her unwillingness to let go, she turned back once more.
In a shop on the opposite side of the road, a figure instantly hid itself.
Thalia saw nothing. The familiar figure was not seen among the passersby scattered randomly on the
road.
Thalia stopped looking and turned around to leave, looking rather forlorn.
Only after she had left did the figure emerge again, watching her leave with dark eyes.
