"What were you about to tell the person on the phone?" Daisy's eyes widened in shock; she hadn't realized her conversation had been overheard so clearly.
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to share." King stood up and went back to his chair.
Meanwhile, one of his henchmen walked over to Daisy, pulled out a dagger, and slammed her hand flat on the ground, as if ready to chop off a finger.

She hesitated, and as the blade inched closer, she shut her eyes and blurted out, "He was in a standoff with Mr. Lynch from Infinity Brilliance, both pointing guns at each other! I don't know what happened." King paused, his glass of whiskey hovering in mid-air, a slight smirk forming on his lips. "Interesting. So that's why you're scared of him?" "Yes, that's it.

The memory flashed through Daisy's mind—a dark night, two men with guns aimed at each other, the argument, the gunfire. She had hidden in the shadows, collapsing in fear at the sound of the shots, unable to believe what she was seeing. She was paralyzed with fear, feeling like everything she knew was shattered.

Daisy's cheeks were wet with tears.
"I've told you everything, please letgo. If you have a grudge against a him, go find him. I don't know anything, I swear I don't." The man set his whiskey down with a soft sigh.
