“Yes. He’s the most powerful gangster in Country Y. He’s involved in both legal and illegal business, violating countless criminal laws of Country Y. He’ll do anything to achieve his goal,” Stanley Batton said.
Xyla Quest was not surprised by his answer. She had already guessed it, more or less.
No wonder he was so arrogant.
Following that statement, Stanley carried her carefully in his arms and hopped into the helicopter.
The rest followed behind him one after another.
Zack Cassidy was in charge of flying the helicopter. After everyone had settled down, Zack pulled the controller, and the helicopter gradually ascended.
“How did you get him to let you go?” Questions were swimming in Stanley’s mind.
Xyla recounted the ins and outs of the whole incident to him.
After listening to her explanation, Stanley mumbled, “I didn’t know there’s such a story behind him…”
“Yeah… I’m very lucky indeed. Otherwise…”
He could feel his scalp prickle, hearing her stutter.
Immediately, he stretched out his long arm and pulled her close to his chest. “I’m sorry. I failed to protect you.”
Xyla melted in his warm embrace. She could no longer feel the exhaustion that was consuming her the entire night.
At this moment, she was relieved to be back in his embrace.
She could feel how scared and guilty this man was. She always understood what he was thinking.
“It isn’t your fault.” Xyla shook her head.
However, Stanley hugged Xyla even tighter. He did not dare to think about the consequences that might have happened to his beloved wife at all.
“I’m being serious. You came here fast enough. When did you realize that something had happened to me?” Xyla slid her arms around his waist and asked softly.
No wonder they could not hear anything in the cabin when so many people collapsed out there.
“I’ll give this to you later… If you happen to meet a bad guy, you can use it to defend yourself. Do you know how to use a gun?”
Xyla shook her head.
“I’ll teach you tomorrow,” he added.
Xyla responded with an obedient nod.
Subsequently, Stanley averted his eyes to Zack, and the color quickly drained from his face. “Zack…”
Zack nodded respectfully as he looked at Stanley’s face through the rearview mirror above him.
“I want Skyview Hotel to disappear from this world within a week…” Stanley ordered coldly as a hint of ferocity flashed in his eyes.
Once again, Zack gave him a courteous nod. “Yes, Fifth Master.”
