Gu Xiaoxi turned with a stony face, her cold gaze meeting his deep blue eyes.

Danny Jay’s smile grew even more gentlemanly and charming as he started the car and continued towards the airport.

His voice, rich and magnetic, said carelessly, "I’ve said before, I only want to get to know you. We can be friends in the future."

"Not frank enough!" Gu Xiaoxi withdrew her gaze and looked out the window.

Water stains still hung on the glass window, the remnants of the rain that had just fallen.

But now, the sky was brilliantly sunny and the ground was spotlessly clean, without a single drop of rain.

At this moment, facing Danny Jay, she became even more guarded.

Could this man really command the wind and summon the rain?

If special abilities and spiritual power did exist in this world, it wasn’t out of the question that others might possess them too!

"What else does Miss Gu need from me to be frank?" Danny Jay laughed. "I’m personally taking you to the airport! You should know that there are police everywhere now, capturing the person who killed Korte’s subordinates. And they’ve already identified Mr. Xiao X."

"What does that have to do with me?" Gu Xiaoxi said expressionlessly, as she had not killed anyone.

"It’s said that twenty of his men are dead and Korte is missing.

This is a big deal for our Texas. Black First Path might be a criminal organization, but it’s a legal one.

It creates profits for the country and thus receives the country’s protection.

For someone like you, even if you haven’t done anything, they would still need to take you in for a thorough investigation. "

That’s outrageous! Gu Xiaoxi’s mouth twitched, refusing to believe his words.

But in the next moment, she realized that there truly was a checkpoint set up on the road ahead.

And every single car passing through was being meticulously searched.

Their car was blocked in the middle of the road, and Gu Xiaoxi’s first instinct was to open the door and make a break for it.

To her surprise, the door was locked, and she couldn’t open it.

She turned to look at Danny Jay!

The man smiled and shook his head, "For your safety, it’s best you don’t move. If you go out, you’ll be arrested immediately."

"What do you mean?"

Gu Xiaoxi wasn’t panicking; she just felt that this guy’s actions were getting more and more incomprehensible to her.

"I have a set of women’s clothing here, you should change into it first! Remove the make-up from your face and no one will recognize you, Mr. Xiao X," he even emphasized her name deliberately.

Gu Xiaoxi felt that her IQ was regressing just by dealing with him.

Indeed, she had appeared on TV before as Mr. Xiao X; most people in Texas would guess her identity upon seeing her in that outfit and appearance.

Gu Xiaoxi turned around and indeed saw a set of women’s clothes on the back seat of the car, along with a beautiful wig.

This guy still has the nerve to say his approach was unplanned! Who would believe that?

"Get out! I need to change my clothes!" Gu Xiaoxi felt that she had been played by this guy today. For now, she couldn’t worry about that; she needed to get past these people and then make plans.

After Danny Jay left, Gu Xiaoxi quickly changed out of her black jacket.

A dress, a wig, a pair of delicate high heels, even the size was just right. It took Gu Xiaoxi less than a minute to change.

Just as she finished changing and hid her jacket, she saw a police officer approaching them.

The officer first saluted Danny Jay with respect and then politely said, "Duke, we are checking every car for Mr. Xiao X. May I ask where you are headed?"

"To the airport, sending a friend!" Danny spoke calmly. "Why are you looking for Mr. Xiao X?"

"Someone reported that a serious crime occurred on an earlier stretch of road, and witnesses saw Mr. Xiao X and Lord Korte engaged in battle. Lord Korte’s subordinates are dead, and Lord Korte himself is missing. We must find Mr. Xiao X."

Seated in the car, Gu Xiaoxi could hear every word of their conversation clearly.

This showed that Danny hadn’t been lying to her. He really did come to help her, but after helping her, what kind of reward was he expecting?

"Then continue your search! My friend needs to catch a flight!" Danny then opened the car door, got inside, rolled down the window, and pointed at Gu Xiaoxi.

The officer looked up and saw a woman with waist-length brown hair, delicately featured wearing a pretty pink dress that made her look every bit like a princess from the Royal Family. Especially when she looked at him, her haughty gaze made him feel inexplicably small and insignificant.

"Oh! Then, Duke, please go on your way." The officer came back to his senses and saluted Danny Jay immediately.

Danny Jay then drove away coldly.

Watching their car disappear into the distance, the police didn’t think much of it and continued to check other vehicles.

Just as Gu Xiaoxi breathed a sigh of relief, her phone rang.

Seeing that it was Su San calling, she immediately answered.

She heard Su San’s anxious voice, "Xiao Xi, come back! It’s not safe to leave today.

The police have blamed you for the death of Korte’s subordinate.

Ten minutes ago, someone came forward and said they saw you fighting with Korte’s subordinate.

The police didn’t even doubt it, they just concluded that you killed him.

They want to arrest you and bring you back! "

Gu Xiaoxi’s heart sank. She had always kept a low profile to avoid trouble.

She hadn’t expected the Texas police to be colluding with Black First Path. After the incident, they didn’t even seek evidence; they just wanted to arrest her.

"What about Lu Xi?" Gu Xiaoxi was most worried about him.

"I have already moved him to a safe place, don’t worry. We’re all fine!" Su San said. He had been mixing in Texas for many years, naturally, he had some resources. He could also ensure her safety if Gu Xiaoxi came back.

"It’s good to hear you’re alright. I must leave today, I’m fine over here."

Afterwards, Gu Xiaoxi gave a few instructions to Su San and then hung up the phone.

"Didn’t I tell you? Without me, you wouldn’t be able to leave Texas today!" Danny Jay said with a sincere smile.

Gu Xiaoxi narrowed her eyes, turned her head to look at the handsome Danny Jay with eyes full of inquiry, "Tell me! Why are you helping me like this? What’s your real motive?"

"Naturally, it’s to become friends with you. Especially with someone with rare talents like yours," Danny Jay said with a smile.

"Talented?" Gu Xiaoxi was puzzled! They were strangers before, how did he know she was talented? Could it be that he liked car racing and was impressed by her driving skills?

"Yes, you are talented, a talent who can control the rare spiritual energy of Earth."

Damn!

Gu Xiaoxi was immediately startled. How did this guy know that she could control spiritual energy?

Seeing Gu Xiaoxi’s incredulous expression, Danny Jay extended a hand and waved it lightly. Gu Xiaoxi suddenly felt a gust of wind pass by, stinging her cheeks.

This was inside the car and all the windows were closed. Where did this wind come from?

The first thought that came to Gu Xiaoxi’s mind was magic!

When she had gotten out of the car earlier, that strange rain had been enough to prove that Danny Jay was a mage.

So, he could rely on his magical sensitivity to sense the spiritual energy on her.

If that was the case, did he know she could control spiritual power from the moment he started talking to her?

This guy was scary! Considering the magic he could summon the wind and rain with, and the rapidity with which he could conjure, his magic level was certainly not low.

"Now I have been honest with you, and I have proactively helped you. Consider it, whether a friend like me is worth your time, beautiful Miss Gu," Danny Jay parked the car outside the airport. Clearly, they had reached their destination.

Gu Xiaoxi’s brow was furrowed, considering Danny Jay’s demeanor, he seemed to have no ill intent.

"Since you’ve helped me several times, I’ll make friends with you. My name is Gu Xiaoxi. If there’s a chance, we’ll meet again! I’ve arrived! Goodbye!" she said, pushing the door open and getting out.

Danny Jay just smiled lightly, parked the car by the side of the road, and followed her out.

Gu Xiaoxi looked at Danny Jay with puzzlement as he caught up to her, turning back curiously to ask, "You’ve brought me here, thank you. Considering the help you gave, we’ll be friends if we meet again. Are you planning to follow me back to my country?"

"Of course not!" Danny Jay said with a light smile, his handsome brows still charming, "I promised to see you off, therefore I must see you all the way through. There are many plainclothes police inside the airport. They will check the identities of pedestrians at any time. And the fake ID you used before can no longer be used. I’ve arranged a new passport, identity card, and a new plane ticket for you. "

Gu Xiaoxi suddenly stopped, turned back, and looked at Danny Jay, "You’ve thought everything through for me, are you sure you don’t have an ulterior motive?"

"If there must be one, then it’s because you’re a beautiful woman. And very talented. I think you’re worthy of me," Danny Jay said with a teasing smile.

Gu Xiaoxi held her forehead, feeling a headache coming on. She couldn’t tell which of his words were true and which were false.

At that moment, there were many people outside the airport. Those passing by were attracted to their striking figures.

It only took a moment before someone recognized Danny Jay.

Screams immediately rang in Gu Xiaoxi’s ears: "It’s Duke Danny Jay!"

As the voice sounded, the scene became chaotic in an instant.
