Damon suddenly looked up at her.
Chloe was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed, "I was broke."
Damon frowned. He didn't see what was so funny.
Being abroad without money was undoubtedly the most terrifying thing.
"Not only was I broke, but I also lost my passport... Somehow, I got caught up in a gang fight. I saw real guns and bullets for the first time and witnessed someone getting shot dead right in front of me. All the gang members died except for one. He was shot three times but survived."
Chloe took a deep breath and continued, "It was a deserted island. I was faced with dozens of corpses. I was scared, but I couldn't just watch a person die before my eyes. I dug out the three bullets in that man's body with a knife and tried to stop the bleeding. Turns out one of the other guys wasn't dead. He still had his gun and tried to shoot me, but the man I was helping took a bullet for me..."
Chloe tilted her head, trying hard to recall the entire situation, but it happened too long ago, and she couldn't remember clearly.
She just didn't understand why every time she mentioned that Stanley took a bullet for her, it made him very angry that he almost shot her.
"...Then I picked up the gun and killed that man. After that, I dug the fourth bullet out of the man who saved me... It wasn't until that man's subordinates found us that I finally came to my senses. I didn't know if I had saved a bad or good guy. But I killed another man for him..."
She rubbed her temples. Was Stanley a bad guy or a good guy? She still hadn't figured it out.
But she had to admit that without him, she would not be alive today. Aside from some training and experiments, Stanley had never hurt her.
The car became quiet. Even Nate, who was driving, was surprised by Chloe's story.
Sometimes he noticed that Chloe's behavior was a bit strange, like her temperament, the occasional aura she gave off, her intelligence, and her excellent driving skills...
In retrospect, if she had experienced such things, none of what he noticed was strange at all.
In fact, Chloe left out many details, including what kind of training she had undergone and what the so-called experiments were.
However, Damon, who was listening to her, didn't overlook this issue.
"What kind of experiments did he test on you?"
Damon's question made Chloe fall silent. After a while, under Damon's probing gaze, Chloe finally said softly,
"Superbrain training experiments."
There weren't many cars on the city road at four in the morning. Nate drove at top speed.
After hearing Chloe's answer, the car suddenly swayed a bit. He gripped the steering wheel tightly and looked up at the rearview mirror, observing Damon's expression. As expected, his face turned very serious.
