The other three, respectively, were hit by bullets in the left shin, the right upper arm, and the left upper arm.
Likewise, their wounds kept bleeding.
Xyla Quest instantly used hemostatic items to stop the bleeding for all three of them.

On the deck, the gun battle continued.
Despite the hail of bullets around him, Stanley Batton stood still, calm as ever.
Immediately after that, six more men dressed in black were shot in the heart mid-air.
The bright red liquid poured from the air onto the deck in steady streams. At one glance, it seemed extremely unsightly.
Meanwhile, the golden-masked man in the sky calmly pulled the helicopter lift lever and raised the helicopter’s altitude…
As the helicopter flew higher and higher, the men dressed in black, dead or injured, went further and further away from the deck.
Gradually, they were out of the range of the sniping rifles.
Seeing that those people were taking off higher and higher, Stanely immediately put his rifle away until they finally disappeared. After that, he looked coldly at the bodyguards around him as well as Zack Cassidy. “How’s it going? Are you all fine?”
From putting away the rifle to turning around, the whole process only took him three seconds.
The crisp and clean movement made Stanley appear extremely cool!
After that, the group of bodyguards then quickly put away their rifles before returning to Stanley. “We’re fine!” they said in unison as they nodded respectfully.
Stanley didn’t say anything else. He casually tossed his rifle over to Zack and gave another order. “Contact the rescue team right away… Arrange for the cruise ship to return. Apart from that… I want to know who those people were before dawn.”
With that, Stanley walked toward the stairway with a murderous aura that had not faded.
Soon, the rescue plane arrived.
When Josh saw that happening, he subconsciously wanted to take off his jacket.
At that moment, Stanley quickly took off his jacket and directly draped it over Xyla’s shoulders.
From the beginning, apart from Daisy, no one else noticed how Josh wanted to unbutton his jacket.
Daisy looked hard at Josh, but she didn’t say a word.
“It’s getting late. I’ll take Daisy home, too. We’ll get together again tomorrow.” Tyler looked at Xyla and the Batton family as he spoke.
“Alright. Get home safely,” Stanley said.
Xyla didn’t say anything. She directly grabbed Daisy’s hand to show her gratitude. “Daisy, thank you so much for risking everything to protect me earlier.”
Whenever Xyla recalled how Daisy didn’t hesitate to place her body over Xyla’s even in the face of death, Xyla felt a sense of warmth in her heart.
