Leia now realized that Xavier had the final say here.
"Do you want me to say yes?" Xavier immediately understood Leia's intense look, and smiled mischievously at her.
"Of course!" Leia gritted her teeth and whispered in his ear, "You know why we came, so we have to keep an eye on Shirley at all times to find the truth as soon as possible."
"What's in it for me if I agree?"
"What do you want?" Leia clenched her fists angrily. 'Even at a time like this, that scumbag still wants to take advantage of me. How inhumane!'
"Not much... I just want you to obey me for the next few days." Xavier pouted at her and whined, "You bullied me so much the past few days, it really broke my heart…"
Leia cursed inwardly but forced a smile onto her face. "You want me to listen to you? Sure, you're the king here now, so everyone will listen to you!"
"That's right!" Xavier touched Leia's head in satisfaction as if he was petting an animal.
Everyone saw how they whispered to each other like a young couple, and figured that Leia was very special to Xavier. Thus, they fawned over Leia even more.
When she put it that way, others might feel that Shirley was not a princess but just put on airs as if she was one.
"It's getting late. Let's not delay the progress of the crew," Xavier finally said. "I'm not interested in picking mushrooms but Lei is, so I'll shoot this show with her for commemorative purposes."
"Oh, great! I believe that this show will be a wonderful one." Adam knew that he could not dissuade Xavier, so he agreed to it reluctantly.
Hence, everyone set off for the depths of the mountains.
