âWhat?! Wayne Larsen is seriously injured and unconscious? When did this happen?â Alex looked at
Xyla in surprise.
Wayneâs life and death didnât have much to do with him initially. However, after he knew that Wayneâs
wife was Grace Larsen, the relationship then changed. Grace and his father belonged to the same
secret organization called the Hidden Dragon. Grace had been affectionately calling his father as âBro
Williamâ, so Alex had reasons to believe that deep down, Grace possibly liked his father.
In this regard, it was natural for him to care a little more about Wayne Larsen.
Xyla replied, âItâs just this afternoon! When Mayor Larsen was inspecting the underground, he was hit
violently by an unknown vehicle, and nearly died on the spot! In addition, Wayne Larsenâs daughter,
Phoebe Larsen also encountered an assassin at the same time. Fortunately, Mrs. Larsen was by her
side at the time. Mrs. Larsen was once a first tier warrior from a certain official secret organization, her
cultivation isnât weak either. She managed to protect Phoebe, but suffered some slight injuries.â
Alexâs frown became deeper.
Just then, his phone rang.
At first glance, the screen displayed the call was from Phoebe.
âHello?!â Alex answered the call.
On the other end, Phoebeâs crying voice came through immediately. âJerk, my dad is injured and
unconscious. Hurry and come!â
Alex was speechless. âThis woman gave me a call to ask me for help. Yet, you still call me a jerk. Did I
owe her anything?â
âI know!â
âThen, hurry and come over. The doctors here are all useless. Help me think of a way quickly, I can rely
on you!â
âIs the situation critical? Is it life threatening?â Alex asked.
âItâs still fine. His situation is more or less stable, but he canât be woken up all this time.â
âAlright, I got it! I heard that Aunt Grace is also slightly injured. How is her condition?â
âMy mom is fine.â
âOkay, Iâll head over there right away. Donât worry.â
Alex initially wanted to make things a little difficult for this woman as she didnât even know how to say
anything nice when asking for help. However, thinking about her current state, as well as the Sky Tower
project that still needed Wayneâs support, he dispelled the notion immediately.
He hung up the call.
Xyla was slightly astonished. âYou seem to be quite familiar with the Larsen family? Phoebe Larsen
called you directly to ask for help?â
Alex nodded. âIndeed, there is some connection there, but itâs a long story. Weâll talk about it next time,
I have to rush over to take a look first.â
Xyla said, âDo you want me to drive you there? Youâre going to treat a patient, and it will be more tiring
to drive on the road.â
Alex could feel the concern that Xyla was showing. He was touched and he smiled, âItâs fine! Such a
short distance is nothing at all. Youâre very busy taking care of the Southern California Business
Association, so you donât have to go out of the way for me like that.â
Xyla smiled and said, âWhatâs a small matter like that to me? It basically doesnât take up any of my
energy at all. It just so happens that I want to drop by home anyway, so just take it as getting a free ride
from me on the way!â
Hearing her saying so, Alex could only nod in agreement. âIâll go and prepare some stuff.â
Xyla watched as he turned around, watching his retreating back with a deep tenderness in her eyes. It
was the sort of tenderness that could melt into water, but it would disappear in a flash.
Alex went back to the room and found a few bottles of pills in case of emergency.
Then, he spoke to the few women in the house.
He didnât give them any specifics, he just told them that he was going to Michigan to meet a patient.
Brittany and the others didnât press for details as well, and let Alex leave together with Xyla.
***
Xyla drove as swift as lighting the entire way.
Alex asked her, âIs there any news about Daya lately?â
âAfter entering the secret training base, Daya once met a disciple from the Alaskaâs Stoermers. That
disciple has already successfully come back from the training base! According to him, Daya is adapting
well to the training base, and she even rescued him once,â Xyla said.
âAre there many dangers inside there?â
âI heard that the conditions are very difficult, and that there are a lot of wild beasts inside. Itâs certainly
dangerous, but itâs also a place to temper oneself.â
