Chapter 1780
"It's... you?" Renee's eyes widened in surprise when she turned around and came face-to-face with Daisy.
"Ah, I'm sorry, Miss..." Daisy ducked her head awkwardly. "I overheard that you both were going to Garcia Village, so I hid on the boat early so I could follow. I didn't scare you, did I?"
Renee was speechless. "Why did you follow US?" "Garcia Village is infamous for being dangerous, but you both decided to come here for an adventure. I also wanted to come here, but the most important thing is..." Daisy shoved Renee's hands away and said righteously, "I have to keep an eye on you so you don't harm Jeff!" She firmly believed that the sea witch had possessed Renee and that Renee would harm Jeffrey, so she felt that she had to watch Renee at all times.
"How could you...".Renee smacked her forehead and complained, "Your imagination certainly runs wild. Don't you have to go to school?" "I stopped going to school ages ago. My mom said I'll marry Jeff when I'm eighteen years old, so don't you dare snatch him away from me. If you do, I won't go easy on you!" Daisy planted her hands on her waist and warned Renee rudely.
"Don't worry, I won't snatch him away... but I can't guarantee if I'll become the sea witch or not!" Renee purposely rolled her eyes and pounced on Daisy with her fingers curled. "Oh no, here comes the sea witch!" "Ah, what are you doing? Don't come here!" Daisy's face became pale and she screamed, stumbling back in fear.
Jeffrey, who had been walking on the other path nearby, heard the screaming and immediately rushed over.
"Jeff, save me!" When Daisy saw Jeffrey, she hurriedly ran over to him and hid behind him. "This woman... She's become the sea witch!" "Daisy? What are you doing here?" Jeffrey asked in shock. He didn't remember a third person being on that boat. How strange!
"She hid on the boat beforehand and secretly came here with US," Renee explained to Jeffrey on Daisy's behalf.
"You secretly came with US?" Enraged, Jeffrey rebuked, "How could you be so silly? Did you tell your family? We're going to stay here for a few days, and they'll get anxious if they can't find you." "I... I..." Daisy kept her head hung and didn't dare to say much because she knew she had acted impulsively.
Renee's heart softened and she sighed. "Stop scolding her, Jeffrey. Since she's already here, she can follow US. Take care of her while we look for a villager who can call Daisy's family to inform them about her safety. Then, I can charge my phone too," Renee said, then took the lead and walked ahead. There was no point in arguing since Daisy was already here, so she just had to accept the situation.
Soon, the sky grew darker, and the village seemed more silent and eerie. Garcia Village was facing the ocean with mountains behind it, and only a few houses were scattered in the mountains. There was a winding cobblestone road ahead of them, but all the houses they saw were vacant. The paintings pasted on the doors had fallen off ages ago, and the houses seemed like they had been deserted for years.
Undeterred, they walked deeper into the village, and finally found a house with the lights turned on.
