"Alright," Daisy snapped her fingers, retracting her scrutinizing gaze from Belinda, and then shrugged at Flossie Wright, "You joined a mercenary corps temporarily."
"Who?" Flossie narrowed her eyes suspiciously.
She had expected Daisy would have a follow-up move; this time, it seemed she only came to notify her.
Daisy took two steps forward, directly in front of Flossie. Her beautiful eyebrows gently raised, the smile at the corner of her mouth grew more intense, and finally, she spat out two words, slowly and deliberately, "Bailey Maynard."
Her words were very crisp, without any pause.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, the entire room was enveloped in a low pressure. A chill shot from between Flossie’s brows, wrapping Daisy.
Standing aside, Belinda glanced at Flossie and then at Daisy, quickly retrieving information about "Bailey Maynard" from her mind.
Bailey Maynard, led by Gavin, a very dangerous figure, remembered that in their last assessment mission, Flossie seemed to have had contact with Gavin, the leader.

All hearsay, Belinda didn’t know much either.
But intuition told her that Flossie had entanglements with Bailey Maynard.
Belinda remained silent but focused her attention on Flossie.
"Are you looking to die?" Flossie’s tone suddenly cooled several degrees, with each word carrying a chill.
Facing Flossie’s aura, Daisy remained unfazed. She raised her fingers, playing with her hair, the smile on her lips growing even brighter, "One can’t catch tiger cubs without entering the tiger’s den?"
"What do you want to do?" Flossie’s eyebrows tightened.
"Nothing," Daisy raised her eyebrows, speaking indifferently, "Ice helped me once, just giving him a hand."
"Target." Flossie asked, a bit annoyed.
"Kill him, and then you leave?"
Daisy glanced at her meaningfully, her voice, extremely mysterious, "Depends on my mood."
Flossie’s face immediately darkened a few shades.
"I’m just here to inform you," Daisy looked at her with a smiling expression, "so when you see your sister this afternoon, don’t be too surprised."
The implication was that this matter was not up for discussion; she was merely here to tell Flossie, Flossie had no right to be involved.
Flossie simply couldn’t be bothered with her.
"Kick her out."
With her eyebrows relaxed, Flossie glanced at Belinda.
Almost as soon as she spoke, Belinda moved, and with a flick of her hand, a drawn dagger had already landed in her hand, conveying very clearly to Daisy whether she would leave by herself or need help.
Daisy’s expression looked somewhat conflicted.
Tsk tsk, she never thought Flossie could have a "guardian," she almost wanted to snatch away Belinda.
"Bye-bye." Finally, Daisy waved her hand, and had no choice but to turn and leave.
Upon exiting, she thoughtfully and carefully closed the door.
This time, however, Belinda didn’t maintain her usual silence.
With a flip of her hand, she retracted the dagger, turned to directly face Flossie, and asked seriously, "What kind of relationship does Gavin have with Ice?"
Flossie, still a bit annoyed, slightly calmed herself after hearing Belinda’s question.
Thinking about it, she felt there was no need to hide it, Flossie gave Belinda a general rundown of the relationship between Gavin and Ice.
