Chapter 1787
Back when Xyla Quest’s father returned home with the painting, she did have her suspicions.For some reason, she felt that the emperor didn’t look like those on television or in other paintings…That emperor was unusually thin. It completely changed her mind about what an emperor should look like…Back then, her impression of emperors was plump-looking men.When Xyla thought of this, she shuddered and turned to look at Stanley Batton’s face. “I… I think he must be a god…”Stanley raised his brows. “Why are you so sure?” he asked as he looked at Xyla.Xyla immediately told Stanley about how her father acquired a painting of the emperor from a monk.“Back then, the monk said that the emperor entered his dream… After waking up, the monk drew the emperor’s portrait so that he wouldn’t forget it…“When I was a kid, I felt that the monk’s dream was ridiculous. I felt that the monk only made up the story my father told me…“But from the way things look now, this might have been the t
Chapter 1788
“Zack was the one who found out about this temple. Rumor has it that there was a powerful monk here who could deal with supernatural beings…” Stanley Batton said.“This means that Terrarium Peak has been around for a long time… Why would the ancient emperor build a temple here?” Xyla Quest had even more questions now.Cornelius Kroe was a difficult person to read.“I don’t know. I’m afraid he’s the only one who has the answers…” Stanley frowned deeply.Xyla nodded gently. “Terrarium has been around for such a long time. Now that it suddenly disappeared, I wonder how those who knew about this place would react when they realize this…” Xyla said.Xyla wondered if the media would pick it up…“Since he can wipe away the bodyguards’ memories, he naturally can also wipe away other people’s memories,” Stanley said.Xyla nodded…Stanley was right.Beep, beep, beep—Right then, Stanley’s phone started ringing.When he saw that it was Zack Cassidy, he immediately put on his Bluetooth

Moreover, Xyla Quest’s memories were unusually clear.She thought that Cornelius Kroe perhaps didn’t intend to wipe her memories away.Ever since she left Terrarium Peak, a lot of questions had been on her mind.Too many questions needed answers.She wanted to know why Cornelius set up a temple there.She also wanted to find out why Cornelius wiped away everyone’s memories except for hers and Stanley Batton’s.On top of that, Xyla also wanted to know why Cornelius gave them the talisman when he’d said he wouldn’t help them. What were those magic symbols for?There were too many questions on Xyla’s mind.The questions were like a spiderweb that wrapped around her brain.“Are you hungry?” Stanley asked.Xyla shook her head. “No…”She didn’t have any appetite right now.“In that case, shall we go back to my office? We’ll see if you want to eat then,” Stanley said.“Okay…”Xyla wasn’t in the mood for work either. She just wanted to stay with Stanley.She’d feel safe wherever

A golden ray of light flashed before Xyla Quest.The light disappeared just as quickly as it appeared…It didn’t even last a second.Xyla subconsciously rubbed her eyes and looked at the two magic symbols.However, there wasn’t any reaction this time.Was she seeing things?Xyla didn’t think so…Everything felt extremely real just now…Xyla didn’t say anything. Instead, she put one of the talismans in Stanley Batton’s pocket.Meanwhile, she put the other one in her pocket.Finally, she looked at Stanley. “We’ll each keep one of them… Since he gave us two of these, he probably wants us to share…“Since he’s an ancient emperor, I believe he won’t harm us. These things will surely benefit us…“As for what those benefits might be, we won’t find out just yet,” Xyla added.Stanley immediately took out his talisman.He then put it in Xyla’s pocket. “You can have both. If it brings any benefits, you’ll get double the amount with two of these…”The simple act made Xyla feel warm

Zack Cassidy awkwardly glanced at the two of them before directly backing out of the office with a glass of orange juice in his hand.After taking a deep breath, Zack knocked on the door.Stanley Batton didn’t mind what happened earlier at all.He calmly adjusted his black coat before looking at the door. “Come in…”Meanwhile, Xyla Quest slowly sat down next to Stanley.When other people were around, Xyla would be sure to salvage his reputation.Zack awkwardly took a deep breath before approaching them with the glass of orange juice that Xyla wanted.He put the glass of orange juice down. “Mr. Batton, here’s the orange juice you wanted.”With that, he bowed respectfully to Stanley and Xyla. He then turned around and left right away.Zack hadn’t even closed the door, but Stanley had already pulled Xyla onto his lap. “Don’t be angry… I’ll carry it with me, okay? You’re not allowed to divorce me.”When Zack heard the word ‘divorce’, he stopped walking immediately, tempted to eav
Chapter 1792
Right then, a group of men in black attires, who also wore black sunglasses, gathered in front of the mining area.These men were arguing with Xyla Quest’s employees as well as Darren Green.“Aren’t you going to apologize for injuring our men? What kind of attitude is this?” A voice belonging to Darren questioned.Right then, Darren was staring coldly at a balding plump man in his early thirties, who stood in front of the group of men dressed in black as he spoke.Meanwhile, the bald, plump man seemed furious. “I was going to apologize. Why are you being so rude? Because of your attitude, I’ve decided not to apologize.”“If you don’t apologize today, don’t even dream of leaving this mining area,” Darren retorted, rage evident in his expression.There was a look of hostility in his eyes.His opponent was not weak either. He then pointed at Darren’s head and argued in return. “Sure, why don’t you try doing that? Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to me like this?”Darre

Xyla Quest’s voice was gentle and soft, her pitch remaining low.Even so, the bald man and his subordinates were still terrified.Darren Green walked up to Xyla with a grim expression on his face. “Here’s what happened, Ms. Quest. These people were hunting here when they accidentally injured one of our miners.“At the time, that miner was working above the well. This bald guy suddenly opened fire in his direction. Luckily, the bullet didn’t hit the miner’s body, but it did hit the rock next to his feet.“Unfortunately, the rock was blasted apart by the bullet. Fragments of it hit and injured the miner’s face on the right,” Darren explained in detail.“After the fact, I asked this fellow why he opened fire in a mining area. He said he saw a rabbit running past the miner. He wanted to shoot the rabbit, and that’s why he opened fire, but he didn’t expect to miss and hit the rock instead.“Ms. Quest, do you think what he did even made sense? If he knew he had poor aim, why would he s
Chapter 1794
Xyla Quest saw that the group led by the elderly man had arrived within her mining area.The old man was looking around above the bottomless well with an unreadable expression on his face.She had never seen him before.She immediately approached him. “Hello, I am Xyla Quest. It's nice to meet you. May I know why you’re here?”The old man smiled in a kind manner. “Nice to meet you, young friend. I’m Frederick Shaw. I was visiting my relatives nearby, and since I didn’t have anything else to do, I came up to have a look. Is this your mining area?” he asked.Although his name seemed familiar, Xyla couldn’t quite recall where she had heard it before.His mannerisms and his appearance didn’t seem to portray him as an ordinary person to her.“Were these all recently mined?” Frederick asked, pointing at some jade rocks nearby.Darren nodded. “Yes.”“As far as I know, all the items your jade mine produced were of high quality. I didn’t think you’d have such low-grade stuff now. You’v
