Kevin Clark was busy up until the day that Daisy Zaneâs new film started shooting, leaving him with some free time.
As he had Michael Jackson book him a flight to Truro City and was already packing his things, Michael Jackson suddenly received a phone call.
Then he said, âThird Master, thereâs a problem in D Continent.â
Kevin Clark looked at Michael Jackson, whose pair of evil red eyes glared back with malice, as if black clouds were bearing down on them, âWhat happened?â
Michael Jackson swallowed hard, reporting with tension and stiffness, âThe Darknight Alliance has been ambushing us on our transportation route. They wonât let our things be transported out. Weâve had several fights, with no clear winner, but our stuff has been stuck.â
Kevin Clark furrowed his brows.
Michael Jackson glanced at him, licked his lips and said, âThe Darknight Alliance claims they have something to discuss. If we refuse to talk, theyâll continue to obstruct. Neither of us will be at ease.â
âWhat do they want to talk about?â Kevin Clarkâs voice was as cold as an ice blade, cutting into oneâs heart.
âNot sure yet.â
âLetâs go to D Continent.â Kevin Clark lowered his head and slowly fastened his cufflinks, saying, âIf they want to talk, letâs talk about how the Darknight Alliance should disappear.â
Having been with Kevin Clark for so long, Michael Jackson was still frightened, his face turning paler. âYes, Iâll arrange it right away.â
After Michael Jackson left, Kevin Clark looked at the suitcase beside him, gritted his teeth, and sent Daisy Zane a message: [Something came up, Iâll be a few days late to Truro City]
Daisy Zane was filming and didnât respond to him.
Benjamin Hobson ordered the driver to watch the training location for more than half a month, but Juan Wright had been there every day, not giving them any chance to approach.
So he followed her to the film set, staying at the hotel where Daisy Zane was lodged.
He spent his days idling and mingling, and while coveting Daisy Zane, he was never short of women around him.
The shooting location for Daisy Zaneâs project was rather far from the city center. Sometimes, it would be more convenient to be close by for night shoots, so she decided to stay in a nearby hotel.
She would only go back to Everlasting Palace occasionally when she had fewer scenes.
After joining the film set, Daisy Zane didnât have Juan Wright follow her and resumed using her previous driver.
âNaomi Nelson, is something bothering you?â Daisy Zane asked while waiting for her next scene, noticing Naomi Nelson lost in thought.
âHuh? Daisy, what did you say?â Naomi Nelson suddenly came to her senses, âDo you want some water? Are you cold?â
âIâm fine.â Daisy Zane looked at her weary expression and swollen eyes, asking again, âIs there something going on with you?â
âI, I, Iâ¦â Naomi Nelsonâs gaze drifted off for a moment before saying, âIâm okay. I just didnât sleep well last night.â
Daisy Zane didnât inquire further, seeing she didnât want to talk about it. She looked at her for a while and said, âIf youâre tired, go back and rest for a while.
Thereâs not much else to do here.â
âNo, I donât need to.â Naomi Nelson replied, âIâm fine, Iâm not tired. It wonât affect my work.â
Daisy Zane didnât say anything, her gaze falling on Naomi Nelsonâs hands.
After a moment of silence, she asked, âYou havenât proposed yet?â
âWhat?â
âThe proposal ring.â Daisy Zane remembered clearly that the ring almost snatched away by the makeup artist was a menâs ring.
Naomi Nelson had bought a menâs ring, intending to propose.
Naomi Nelson fiddled with her fingers, finally speaking after a long silence, gave it to him, but he didnât accept it.â
Daisy Zane looked at her and didnât see the look of heartbreak on her face.
Instead, she saw a determination that wouldnât admit defeat.
Seeing Daisy Zaneâs curious gaze, Naomi Nelson thought for a moment and said, âWe used to be neighbors, and heâs three years older than me. Iâve always liked him. Heâs good-looking and great at his studies. When we were young, he would help beat up the boys who bullied me. He was the provincial champion during the college entrance exam. In my mind, heâs always been a hero.â Daisy Zane was infected by her emotions, smiling along with her.
âWhen I started college, I confessed my feelings to him. Thatâs when I realized he had always liked me too, just waiting for me to grow up.â Naomi Nelson cupped her face, her eyes sparkling, âSo we started dating.â
âDaisy, do you know? Heâs really a hero.â Naomi Nelson scooted closer to Daisy Zane, her eyes filled with admiration, âDuring school, he became a firefighter.
He saved many people.â
Daisy Zane looked down at her, listening to her speak.
âHoweverâ¦last year during the rescue, he was injured.â Anisa Cooper lowered her eyes, touching Daisy Zaneâs clothes with her fingers, âA large area of burns, his left leg was left with a disability. We originally agreed that we would get married after I graduated⦠but now he wonât even accept my ring.â
âHeâs afraid of dragging you down.â Daisy Zane said.
âBut how could he drag me down?â Anisa Cooper said, âHe just looks a bit different from before. But heâs still very impressive. He studied computer science in college and can easily support both of us. Besides, I would be a heroâs family member, how cool would that be?â
Looking at Anisa Cooper, who was smiling like the sun, Daisy Zane nodded with a smile, âYes, very cool.â
âRight?â
âI hope I can toast to the hero and his family member soon.â Daisy Zane said softly.
Anisa Cooper looked at her and laughed, âSister Lucia, youâre so kind.â
Today, work ended early, and Daisy Zane returned to Everlasting Palace.
As soon as she opened the room door and before stepping in, she received a call from Robinson Scott.
âBrother Nine, Damian Brown has been arrested in D Continent.â
Daisy Zaneâs face changed for a moment, and immediately became fierce: âWho arrested him?â
âThat jadeite-dealing b*stard.â Robinson Scott said, âI tried to rescue him with a team twice but failed. This time, Iâm afraid the balance will be broken.
Daisy Zane understood Robinson Scottâs meaning.
In D Continent, the Darknight Alliance and the jadeite-dealing group had been counterbalancing each other for many years. Although the struggle was never-ending, both parties had accepted this balanced state.
Now that such a big commotion had started, it seemed that it wouldnât stop until one side was swallowed up.
Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows, her expression arrogant and disdainful, âWait for me, Iâll come over.â
âOkay.â
After hanging up the phone, Daisy Zane called the director to ask for a three-day leave, then informed Hill Dawson and Anisa Cooper.
Then she went directly to the airport.
After flying for more than seven hours and landing in D Continent, Daisy Zane was picked up by James Collins as soon as she left the airport.
âYouâre here too?â Daisy Zane looked at James Collinsâ pink hair and asked.
âLogan and Luke sent me as a representative to help out,â James Collins smiled, âSister, doesnât my new hairstyle look handsome?â
Daisy Zane stared at his pink hair and remained silent in silence.
Seeing no response from Daisy Zane, James Collins suddenly stepped on the brakes and looked at her, âDoesnât it look good?â
When he turned his head, Daisy Zane could see his peach blossom eyes, and only then did she feel somewhat appeased. However, she still said expressionlessly, âIt looks just like a pink tufted doll.â
James Collins:
âWhere did you learn this bizarre aesthetic?â Daisy Zane asked, puzzled. âDoesnât it look good?â
Daisy Zane was a little afraid that he would keep asking insistently, so she moved her eyes away from his head and endured the humiliation by saying,
âItâs pretty good.â
These three words might have required all her acting skills in her life.
Hearing Daisy Zane praise him, James Collins finally started the car again and happily asked, âSister, how do you plan to deal with this situation?â
Daisy Zane looked at the gradually brightening sky outside and said, âTonight, sneak in with me and get a feel of their internal structure and layout.â
James Collinsâ mouth hooked up, his interest piqued, and excitement filled his eyes, âNo problem..â
