(Author's note: I reread the previous chapter today and felt that some of the details were overdone, so I adjusted part of the narrative in the previous chapter, above.)
"You're such a disgrace!" Fei Mo's face turned pale and he wanted to speak loudly, but couldn't help but his voice trembled.
He patted Lyman's head as he collapsed on the ground, and while pulling him, he said with an apologetic smile: "This new guy doesn't understand the rules...
"Please forgive me, forgive me!"
Daisy and Sean exchanged a look, not intending to cause a conflict. Daisy said magnanimously: "Since this gentleman has apologized, the matter is over."
Bill turned around and left. The figures of the two explorers behind him were also somewhat resentful.
Finally, Fei Mo helped Lyman and escaped from Daisy's office in great embarrassment.
After closing the door, Daisy and Sean looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
"I'm really yours, Sean..."
The lady looked at Olivia who had calmed down: "This friend of yours is really amazing..."
Olivia just lowered her head again, without any trace of pride or joy on her lips.
Daisy looked at Sean with a calm face with some fascination.
Sean Dickinson…
In the beginning, he was just a foreigner who was at a loss.
Later, he freed Richie...
Later, he rescued his sister.
Now, it seems like he has completely changed.
If Sean once needed to rely on her strength, then obviously, she needs to rely on Sean now.
"Sean..." His green eyes were a little confused, but more filled with appreciation and admiration, "How did you do that?"
"How did you do that? Scared them away?"
"No. In just a few months, you have changed a lot..."
Sean subconsciously wanted to hold up his mask, wanting to thank the God who favored him...
Suddenly I remembered that I was playing the role now.
He casually touched his slightly stubbled chin: "Maybe it's because life is difficult..."
He gave the most sincere answer: "We can only choose to become stronger."

Bill sat in the car on the way back and said nothing.
The two explorers are not afraid of their bosses. After all, they are paid more to serve as "mystery handling experts" than to do dirty work, providing protection and advice...
Having just faced the weird man and woman, they had given them the best advice - give up and leave as soon as possible.
Therefore, they do not need to be blamed or looked down upon by their boss.
After all, they are not Bill's little brothers.
The upstart Long Island also knew that it was impossible for him to get angry at the hired explorer.
Moreover, he has calmed down at this moment.
Using the makeup mirror on the sun visor to straighten his tie, Bill asked: "So, if I want to deal with that man in the future, what level of strength will I need?"
"Sleepless Midnight" and "Holy Night Executioner" are briefly silent.
It is undeniable that they were shocked by the aura displayed by the woman during the confrontation just now.
The Seekers have always pursued safety and security, so they ended the dispute in the face of such a threat.
But thinking about it now, the other party is definitely not King level.
Combined with Fei Mo's description of the "Penny Picker in the Styx", what we can know is...
There are two strong Q-levels behind that man.
It was still Keanu who provided advice to the boss: "If nothing else happens, a King can eat him."
A King?
In the mirror, Bill narrowed his eyes.
He realized that he really needed to find a way to make more money...

Daisy stayed with Sean to have dinner together. In the Apennine-style restaurant on the second floor of "Fog and Rose", the two had a great time chatting over food and wine.
Looking at the familiar restaurant, Sean suddenly felt a little sad.
“At the beginning, my ectoplasm was in the back kitchen of this restaurant when I heard the sound of little Leon being threatened.
"That's why I got attached to Daisy...
Suddenly realizing that the little South Delzhou boy, Leon Garcia, was not seen in the hotel, Sean couldn't help but asked with some confusion: "Daisy, where did little Leon go?"
Daisy is unlikely to fire him - after young Lyon was threatened by others to betray Daisy, Sean persuaded the helpless boy to confess to Daisy and gained the woman's full support. trust.
Moreover, little Leon has no father, and his mother is just a laundry worker with a meager income. He must work to support the family.
Daisy frowned and seemed to be thinking carefully: "I just remembered it when you said that... He seems to have not come to work for several days."
Didn't come to work? Are you sick?
For no reason, Sean felt some worry in his heart.
From the direction of the stairs, the hotel receptionist ran up and said to Daisy slightly out of breath: "Miss Daisy, Leon's mother, Mrs. Garcia is here. She seems to be in a hurry."
Under the light, Sean and Daisy looked at each other in surprise: Unexpectedly, his mother arrived at the hotel just as soon as Leon was mentioned.
"Bring her up quickly."
A few minutes later, the female receptionist brought Mrs. Garcia to the restaurant.
This African-American woman from Southland was a laundry worker at a nearby laundry. When Sean first arrived in Newland, in order to thank Sean for giving Lyon guidance, she once helped Sean solve a corpse attack...
Therefore, Sean is very grateful to her.
Mrs. Garcia, who was originally quite energetic, has obviously lost some weight, and the bags and dark circles under her eyes have increased - she looks very haggard.
"Have you eaten anything? Madam?" Daisy stood up and asked with concern.
"Thank you for your concern, Ms. Daisy..." Garcia held Daisy's arm, "I...I can't eat now."
"Mrs. Garcia, what happened?" Sean frowned, looking very serious.
Mrs. Naya Garcia gave her other hand to Sean - clearly she needed support right now.
"Oh, kind Mr. Dickinson, it's so good to see you back..." As she spoke, she actually started to cry.
Sean and Daisy looked at each other worriedly and helped Garcia sit down.
The reporter knelt down in front of him and said with concern: "Madam, don't be anxious. If you have anything to do, tell me slowly."
Wiping her tears with a yellowed handkerchief, Mrs. Garcia adjusted her breathing before speaking slowly:
"My Leon, he has been acting strange lately...
“I have no energy during the day and my temper becomes very bad.
"Moreover, I found that he hasn't come to the hotel to work in the past few days..."
The wife took the glass of warm water Daisy poured but continued without drinking it:
"In our hometown, this is a symptom that occurs when a child is possessed..."
As she spoke, her eyes turned red again. She calmed down for a while before continuing:
"So, I used some methods from my hometown to exorcise evil spirits for him."
Sean remembered that Naya Garcia believed in the traditional belief of "Akon, the God of Death" in South Delzhou, and she was also a female shaman passed down from her family...
However, the faith is illegal in Newland, so Mrs. Garcia rarely talks about it.
Therefore, although she is weak, she knows some ways to deal with mysterious things.
"I didn't expect... I didn't expect that Leon hadn't woken up since this afternoon.
"I can't wake up no matter how I scream..."
The wife was so anxious that she started crying again, her tears flowing freely: "The doctor didn't know what was going on after seeing it. I really didn't know what to do, so I had to come to you!"
After listening to what Mrs. Garcia said, Daisy looked at Sean.
Under the light, she noticed that Sean was frowning tightly, as if he had thought of something terrible...
