Apart from waiting for her death, there was nothing else Xyla Quest could do…She tried calling Stanley Batton and all the contacts related to him, but nothing worked.Xyla finally gave up when her phone ran out of battery…Time went by oddly slowly.Half an hour felt like half a century.After half an hour, the weather became normal again.The blizzard stopped, and sunlight reappeared.All the extreme phenomena disappeared.When the world became bright again, Xyla saw a horrendous sight…There were broken branches and glass shards all over the road.Many cars had collided into the walls from the wind.Many of them were even flipped over.The strange thing was there wasn’t an ounce of snow on the road despite such a huge blizzard earlier.Many drivers got out of their cars.Their jaws dropped at the sight of the mess when all the snow melted away.Suddenly, everyone had all sorts of theories.“What’s going on? There was a lot of snow earlier. Why isn’t there any snow on
Stanley Batton looked serious and stern as he drove his Bugatti Veyron fast. When he saw his Rolls-Royce and Xyla Quest, who was inside, he immediately stopped the car in front of the Rolls-Royce in a cool drifting motion.After that, the two of them got out of their cars simultaneously…When Xyla got out, she ignored everything else and rushed over to Stanley before hugging him tightly.Although Xyla was 167 centimeters tall, she still looked tiny in front of Stanley.Stanley towered over her.In his arms, Xyla looked petite.Xyla was very glad that Stanley seemed alright.Only the heavens knew how many terrible things Xyla had imagined on the way to him.At this moment, Xyla wished her body could fuse with Stanley to become one so that they’d never have to part.“I’m so glad you’re fine… You had no idea how I tried to call you on your phone. I even called the office and Zack… None of my calls went through… I was worried sick. I thought the nine-tailed fox went to harm you…”
“After the nine-tailed fox tortured me at home, I sent you messages on WeChat to explain everything… From what you told me, you didn’t seem to have received those messages, did you?” Xyla Quest asked.Stanley Batton hugged her tightly again. “I didn’t receive anything…”Xyla frowned deeply. “The demon fox must have stopped my messages from getting through… It used some odd method to prevent them from reaching you…“Also, it must have also been the one that stopped you and I from making calls on our phones… Could it be doing this to torture us and make us worry?” Xyla carefully analyzed.Apart from this, she couldn’t think of any other reason.After that, she quickly showed Stanley the red spider lily tattoo on the back of her right hand…“Look at this…” Xyla said.Stanley frowned deeply. He naturally held her hand and looked at the tattoo…“Did you get a tattoo? It looks good…” Stanley said.After saying that, Stanley could smell a unique scent.“Did you use a new perfume? Wh
Many people were busy taking pictures by the road.Everything that happened seemed like major news to ordinary folks.Xyla Quest’s gaze unintentionally landed somewhere outside the car. She could see that some reporters had already made their way over and were interviewing pedestrians…Xyla quickly looked away. She then slowly closed her eyes.She decided to nap for a while.Everything that happened earlier made her feel exhausted.Stanley drove with one hand while habitually holding Xyla’s hand in his. He brought her hand up to his lips and gently kissed it with his head lowered…His kiss was very gentle. It caused ripples in Xyla’s heart.However, Xyla wasn’t in the mood to think about such feelings.She had too many things to worry about.What would she do?“Oh, right… Honey…“I’ve already sorted out the paperwork for the pharmaceutical factory and the leukemia medicine production. I’ve also built the factory and hired employees for you… You can get started anytime…” Sta
It was snowing in the suburbs. The sky and earth looked gray and dull.The hill that came into sight was very tall.All the plants on the hill had already wilted, and there was snow everywhere.It was a harsh yellow hue mixed with the cold white hue as far as the eyes could see. The entire hill looked lifeless.This hill was approximately a hundred meters tall. It was considered a tall hill in the hilly terrain of Atlantis.One could vaguely see a white building at its peak…Due to the great distance, Xyla Quest couldn’t see clearly what it was.After looking around, Xyla felt increasingly curious about Stanley’s objective of bringing her here.In the end, she still couldn’t suppress her curiosity. She slowly turned to look at Stanley’s face. “So… Why did you bring me here?”Could they be going to that building on the hill?Stanley smiled a little before gently ruffling her hair. “You’ll find out when we get there…”Xyla nodded obediently like an expensive white Persian cat.
The rocks were making Xyla Quest’s feet ache.On top of that, the path was slippery due to the snow. Each step had to be taken carefully. That was why Xyla felt exhausted.“But… I can still take it… I’m not that weak…” Xyla said.As soon as Xyla finished speaking, Stanley Batton bent over and picked her up.Stanley gently carried her through the wind and snow, step by step, as they headed up the hill.This affectionate scene made the bodyguards around them jealous.The single men instantly felt attacked.The bodyguards behind Xyla and Stanley were very far away.A few of them couldn’t resist discussing among themselves in hushed voices.“Mr. Batton truly adores his wife…”“Exactly. He treats her like the most fragile thing on earth.”“I suspect that he would give up his life if his wife asked for it.”“I only admire two people in this world. The first one is Mr. Batton. He had only taken over Dragon Group not too long ago, but he’s already brought it to greater heights with
It was a temple.From the outside, the place looked very run-down.It didn’t occupy a lot of space…It was at least half the size of an ordinary temple.There was a black signboard above the temple’s main entrance.The words ‘Terrarium Peak’ were written in capital fonts on the signboard.Right then, there was a monk sweeping snow by the entrance.He was a middle-aged man.He was dressed like a classic monk.The broom he held was the most ancient kind of broom…When the monk saw Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton, he immediately bowed to them.The monk was very thin. There was a fairy-like aura around him.Meanwhile, Xyla, Stanley, and the bodyguards quickly bowed to the monk.Soon, the monk approached them.“Why are you here?” he asked.“I have an appointment with Chief Cornelius Kroe… I need to discuss something with him…” Stanley said.“Please come with me…” The monk respectfully bowed to them again.After that, he led them into the temple…Xyla didn’t say anything. Ins
After that, Cornelius Kroe made an invitational gesture. He then led Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton to the nearby table and chairs before sitting down…Once he’d sat down, he glanced at the young monk who had yet to leave. “Clarence… You may leave us…”The monk bowed respectfully to Cornelius before leaving and closing the door behind him.The temple itself was already hushed.After the door was closed, the silence was even more deafening…Sitting here made Xyla Quest feel much calmer.There was incense burning on the table.The light fragrance made one feel at ease.“Chief… I’m Stanley Batton, the man who made an appointment with you. I previously asked my assistant, Zack Cassidy, to contact you…” Stanley said respectfully.Although Stanley was respectful, his cold mannerism never left him…Anyone’s aura would pale in comparison to Stanley.They’d appear inferior to him.Cornelius took a deep look at the two of them…After that, he slowly closed his eyes.“I’ll have to te
