“That’s great…” Stanley Batton affectionately ruffled Xyla Quest’s hair again.
Every move he made was cautious. It was as if he was gently touching a priceless antique.
“When you went to stop the helicopter today… Did you end up finding nothing?” Xyla asked.
Today, when Stanley came back and saw her, he didn’t bring this topic up. Xyla guessed that he didn’t find anything.
Ron Batton also quickly shifted his gaze to Stanley. Ron seemed curious.
“Not exactly… We managed to stop the helicopter… The people inside the helicopter were probably afraid of being captured and interrogated by us. Hence, they detonated the helicopter…” Stanley said truthfully.
When Xyla heard this, her eyes lit up. “So… So, is it possible that the ‘master’ was in the helicopter?” She asked.
However, Stanley shook his head. “Probably not…” He sounded very certain.
“Why is that?” Xyla looked confused. She had no idea why Stanley seemed so confident.
“When I first landed on the ground today, the other battle aircraft… Had gone after that white helicopter long ago. You saw that…” Stanley said carefully.
Xyla nodded.
“After speaking with you for a while, I went back into the air and caught up with the group. However, not long after taking to the sky, someone from the group informed me…
“That they saw someone jumping off the white helicopter with a parachute…
“To make sure that person remained alive, they sent a few people down with parachutes to look for him…
“Meanwhile, the others continued to go after the white helicopter…
“I feel that if the ‘master’ was truly on the helicopter, he must be the one who jumped off…” Stanley said carefully…
When Xyla heard this, she immediately frowned intensely.
Everything that she heard made her feel incomparably disappointed.
“In that case… Those people who jumped off in parachutes to look for the man… Have you received any news from them?” Xyla asked.
“Right now, they still haven’t found anything…” Stanley said.
