Chapter 1800
Compared to the look of nervousness and anticipation on everyone’s faces, Xyla Quest seemed calm and composed.Seeing her that way, Mary Sullivan couldn’t resist cursing in her heart.She honestly didn’t understand why Xyla was putting up such an act.It was clear Xyla had lost, but yet she still behaved so indifferently.It didn’t matter, though. Xyla would not be able to keep up the act much longer.Darren Green’s eyes were filled with excitement and shock when he saw everyone.There was even a slight sense of fear.Mary was even more confident when she noticed his expression.She immediately approached Darren with a look of anticipation. “Is there nothing down there? Hmm?”Darren ignored her. Instead, he ran up to Xyla.His silence further solidified Mary's confidence that there was indeed nothing down there.Mary raced past Darren and stood before Xyla with her arms crossed over her chest."Looks like there is nothing. Xyla, be a good girl now, get down on your knees an

Frederick Shaw genuinely believed that Xyla Quest was extremely lucky.Such luck was truly enviable.Meanwhile, Cain Hollander could see Mary Sullivan’s facial expression changing. He gingerly massaged her shoulders.Annoyed, Cain’s touch didn’t make her feel relaxed. On the contrary, the action irritated her further.She impatiently pushed Cain’s hand away. “Will you cease for a moment? Stop that, it’s annoying.”Cain immediately stopped touching her.Xyla couldn’t bear to watch this anymore. Although not a stranger to disrespectful people, she’d never seen anyone behave this bad before.“What? Is there actually an underground palace down there?” Frederick had a bewildered look in his eyes when he faced Darren Green.Darren nodded repeatedly. “Yes, and from the looks of it, this underground palace is probably an underground tomb that belonged to a powerful person in ancient times. There are countless treasures within.”Xyla still seemed calm and collected.Since she had alre

Regardless of what happened, Mary Sullivan was bound to be humiliated today.She genuinely regretted her behavior earlier.She also hated God. Why did God always leave the best things for Xyla?Who was she anyway?After taking a deep breath, Mary looked down with conflicted feelings. Her face was completely red.Right then, she could neither leave nor stay.Everyone’s gaze seemed to burn into her skin.“What’s the matter? Can’t stand to lose, Mary Sullivan?” Xyla Quest slowly flicked her long beige nails against one another while asking softly.Although her voice was soft, she still had a commanding presence.Despite not showing any facial expression, she could easily overpower Mary.Mary was speechless.Meanwhile, the bodyguards around Xyla couldn’t bear watching this any longer.They started criticizing Mary on her behalf.“She really can’t stand to lose.”“Exactly. She said she’d get on her knees and call Ms. Quest Mommy. What’s the matter? Feeling regretful?”“You ca
Chapter 1803
Xyla Quest hated how Mary Sullivan looked down on others just because she was slightly wealthier.She couldn’t interfere if Mary had mistreated her own subordinates, but Mary was in no position to berate hers.Xyla’s bodyguards felt so moved by how she stood up for them, instantly liking her even more.Everyone vowed to remain loyal to Xyla for life.Mary felt so furious that she had trouble breathing. Her hand raised, poised to return the slap.Before it could land, Xyla swiftly grabbed her by the wrist and glared coldly at her face. “Mary, stop dawdling and admit defeat.”“That’s right... you’re not all that great if you dilly-dally.”“I’m sure you wouldn’t want other people to find out that you’re someone who lacks credibility, would you?”“Hurry up… can you not admit defeat?”Xyla’s bodyguards started speaking up again on her behalf.Feeling bitter from the bottom of her heart, Mary attempted to bend her knees a little.However, she simply couldn’t do it.Kneeling in fr

Apart from feeling rage, there was nothing Mary Sullivan could do.Bottling up her emotions inside was killing her.Growing up, Mary had rarely been insulted by other people.All her humiliating moments were related to Xyla Quest, and so she felt that she was her greatest enemy.“Xyla, don’t go too far,” Mary yelled through gritted teeth.Xyla frowned slightly. She continued to flick her long, beige nails against one another before looking at Mary’s face. “I don’t like what you said. You were the one who came up with the bet and lost. How could I have gone too far?“Weren’t you the one who suggested this? What’s the matter? Do you think it’s too much now?” Xyla’s voice became increasingly cold.Xyla genuinely despised Mary, so she wasn’t holding back at all.“That’s right... you suggested this yourself. Now, you’re blaming Xyla for it. Are people from the Sullivan family all this shameless?”“You’re not wrong. Isn’t everyone from the Sullivan family like this? None of them a

However, if one paid close attention, one would discover that the rooms were actually connected.All the stone walls in between the rooms were mobile, controlled by mechanisms in antique vases of different designs placed outside the walls.As long as the vases were moved slightly, countless arrows would be fired from all directions.Xyla frowned in deep concentration while she continued to use her penetrating vision to observe those hidden mechanisms.She discovered that they had a flaw… the arrows were all positioned higher up, meaning that nothing would go wrong as long as people were on the ground when the arrows were fired.After solving the puzzle, Xyla let out a long sigh of relief. She then continued to scan the area, finding nothing else apart from those she had discovered.After letting out another long sigh, Xyla turned to address Darren. “It’s fine, I’ll go down and have a look. You can all stay up here and wait for me.”She needed to go down and deactivate those boob

“How about this? If you must go down there, let me come with you. I’ve studied things like these before, too. No matter what, I can’t let you go down there on your own,” Frederick Shaw insisted.“I must come with you too, Ms. Quest. We can’t just watch while you put your life in danger,” one bodyguard said.“That’s right, I’m coming too," another said. "If any danger should arise, I’ll die on your behalf.”“I want to come along, too. I also want to die in Ms. Quest’s place,” yet another bodyguard spoke up.They had been working by her side all this while and Xyla's personality had won them over. Ensuring her safety and security had started as a job, but now it was out of their free will.Xyla was such a wonderful person and deserved to live a good life.Soon, the other bodyguards also expressed their willingness to protect her with their lives.Xyla chuckled helplessly despite being overcome with emotions. “All right, don’t get all excited. I’ll be fine, I promise.”“Things are
Chapter 1807
The temperature was warm during winter and cool during summer inside the mine.Although it was chilly on the surface, it felt like summer underground.Xyla Quest took a few steps forward, already drenched in sweat.Soon, she removed her coat and tossed it aside, revealing her flattering physique.Her white, tight-fitting jumper accentuated the curves of her body perfectly.There were curves in all the right places, just like a barbie doll.Her black, skinny pants and white sneakers lengthened her shapely legs.After a considerable time walking through the tunnel, Xyla finally arrived at the entrance to the underground palace that had a huge gap from the blast.Two people could fit through it.Piles of rocks littered around the area after the explosions, now broken into pieces.A strong stench of explosives lingered in the air.Although it was pungent, Xyla could still bear with it.Frowning slightly, she carefully made her way through the entrance and into a room in the und
