“This needs further confirmation. If it really was him, then this incident will give us an extra clue to find him. To be honest, he might also have been coming after someone else. After all, everyone on the deck had a special identity,” Stanley Batton said.
“Yeah…” Xyla Quest said blandly.
When Xyla recalled the scenes on the deck just now, she still felt very scared.
She dreaded to think what would have become of her and Daisy Cox if Stanley Batton had come a moment later.
Daisy, especially, would have been killed by the gunfire, wouldn’t she?
“Daisy is a really nice person. She’s naive, adorable, and kind,” Xyla complimented.
“Yeah, I’ll have to treat her to a nice meal later to thank her,” Stanley said.
“Yeah.” Xyla had made up her mind to befriend Daisy because she stood up for her in a time of crisis.

The next morning, before Xyla even woke up, Daisy had called and asked her to go shopping with her.
The two of them met at Goldfield Plaza in the city center.
After Xyla had breakfast and put on some simple, light makeup, she went out directly with a large group of bodyguards to meet Daisy at Goldfield Plaza.
Immediately after that, the two of them started a wild shopping spree in Goldfield Plaza.
They bought all sorts of luxury goods without holding back.
When the two of them came out, each of them had twelve bodyguards behind them.
However, since the air conditioning was set at a very low temperature, it didn’t make them feel warm at all.
“It’s such a blessing to be able to eat to your heart’s content…” Daisy said while she cooked a piece of tripe in the mushroom broth in front of her.
“Yeah,” Xyla said. She also picked up a piece of tripe and put it into the red broth in front of her.
“Before I was sixteen, I couldn’t eat like this whenever I wanted to…” Daisy said.
“Why’s that?” Xyla looked up at Daisy with a somewhat curious gaze.
“Before I turned sixteen, I had a particularly serious heart condition because I could never find a suitable heart for a transplant. Hence, I had to take medicine to keep me alive. My body was never in a good condition. On top of that, many medicines required me to stay on a strict diet. That’s why I couldn’t eat a lot of things. It was miserable,” Daisy explained slowly and carefully.
There wasn’t any emotion on her face.
