After having dinner at Dream Garden, Stanley Batton, Xyla Quest, and Ron Batton returned home together.
As soon as they arrived home, Ron went upstairs.
Stanley took Xyla’s hand and walked her to the sofa in the living room. He then extended his arms and pulled her into his embrace.
Xyla obediently snuggled up to him like a kitten. “Have you not found the person who killed Emily and May yet?” she asked.
“No…” Stanley said.
“Apart from the cause of death, we’ve not found anything. I’ve already looked for other detectives to assist Carson’s investigation,” he added.
Xyla nodded wearily. “What about Zack? He brought some people to look for Yaksha. It’s been a month and a half now… Logically, we should’ve received news by now.”
“Not for now…” As soon as Stanley said that, he received a call from Zack Cassidy.
He then answered the call and turned on the loudspeaker.
“Mr. Batton… I found traces of Yaksha on a nameless island in a cloudless part of the sea…” Zack said.
Once Xyla heard this, she immediately felt happy. “What do you mean?”
“I found traces of traditional medicine cultivation and food…
“Not only that, but I also saw huge patches of red spider lilies.
“These, coupled with the clues you provided previously, make me feel that Yaksha is here…” Zack said carefully.
Hearing this, Xyla’s eyes instantly became bright. “In that case, quickly search for Yaksha. He might really be on that island.”
Xyla felt that Yaksha was 80% likely to be on that island according to what Zack said.
