For Luke Perkins, as long as Xavier Quinn is alive, it is necessary for him to align all his actions.

Clearly, feeling the recent ineffectiveness of Desert Port, Luke Perkins made a call, intending to urge Xavier Quinn, and by the way, give him some pressure.

Normally speaking, Xavier Quinn would be older than Luke Perkins by a few years. Upon hearing Luke Perkins' inappropriately juvenile greetings, Xavier Quinn naturally had a spark of anger well up in his heart.

However, over the phone, even if vented, it would be of no use, so Xavier Quinn simply answered perfunctorily, "Everything is fine, no need to worry."

The reply given by Luke Perkins, however, shocked everyone in the room.

"But, I seem to have heard that you are now in the hospital. Is that considered fine? My old friend?"

Luke Perkins repeatedly emphasized "old friend," hoping to clarify to Xavier Quinn what their respective positions were.

Friends, yes, but old friends now.
