With his wife, Xyla Quest, Stanley Batton behaved in a charming manner.However, in front of his staff, he could be incredibly aloof.Despite his distant stance, he was still strikingly handsome.Upon walking out of the conference room, Stanley leaned lazily against the wall and waited for Xyla to speak with a solemn expression on his face.Xyla described everything she saw down at the mines in detail over the phone.She also mentioned that she would send him pictures, even though he could already imagine the scenes in his mind as she described them in great detail.However, the more he listened, the colder his facial expression became.In the end, he looked like he was about to throw a tantrum.Stanley remained silent while Xyla talked non-stop.After she finished, she realized he was not replying to her. “Darling? Are you listening?” Xyla asked in confusion.Xyla was currently leaning against a pine tree halfway up the mountain with nobody else around so she could speak f
“Okay,” Xyla Quest said.“Be a good girl, and I’d give you my life,” Stanley Batton said.Xyla nodded repeatedly. Her eyes turned even redder. “All right, I’ll be a good girl. Darling, I called you because I have another request.”A curious look appeared in Stanley’s eyes. “Do you need my help to bring men over to guard the underground palace?”He could figure out what his wife had in mind even before she said it.“Yes, that’s it.”“That won’t be a problem. I’ll get the president to send you an army,” Stanley agreed as if sending an army was as simple as wearing clothes or having a meal.‘That’s an entire army.’ Xyla thought to herself.There’d be at least ten thousand troops.Moreover, this wasn’t something an ordinary person could accomplish.“Won’t that be too many?” Xyla asked.“Not at all… leave it to me,” he assured her. “You’ll probably also need professional logistics assistance, too?” “Yeah,” Xyla answered.“I’ll get you a team of experts,” Stanley replied calmly
Approximately an hour later, an entire army of Blue Mountain City arrived at the mine where Xyla was by military helicopters, attracting a lot of attention.‘#Military helicopters in Blue Mountain City#’ began trending on the number one spot on the list of hot topics.Netizens began discussing it excitedly.“Do you guys know what happened? Many military helicopters appeared in Blue Mountain City today. I heard they are all from the City's military zone…”“D*mn. So many military helicopters appeared suddenly. Did something major happen?”“I heard the helicopters are all full of soldiers. It’s an entire army.”“D*mn, is there war?”“It must be something important. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many soldiers involved.”“I agree with what most of you say. Something major must have happened as the entire army is involved.”Meanwhile, Xyla Quest had no clue all this was happening.Once the military arrived, they quickly formed into groups and marched up to Xyla in an organized ma
Xyla Quest rather enjoyed the spectacle.Right then, another white helicopter landed not too far away from her, where up to a hundred men and women of various ages disembarked.They approached Xyla in an organized manner.A middle-aged man, who wore a white down coat over black overalls, led the team.He immediately extended a hand toward Xyla as soon as he saw her. “It's nice to meet you, Ms. Quest. I’m Brian Comb.”Xyla recognized Brian Comb as a renowned archeologist.“This is my team of archeologists,” Brian said, then proceeded to introduce Xyla to each of his team members.She could recognize each of their names as experienced professionals in the field.Xyla was very grateful to the President for sending these experts over.After the introductions, Brian could no longer hide his excitement anymore. “Ms. Quest, can we go down and have a look now? The President told me that you’ve found a lot of rare treasures from ancient times, and I would like to have a look.”Discove
The other experts who had SLR cameras around their necks also started taking pictures, gasping and gawking at each discovery as they did so.“Oh my god, I’m truly shocked! Is this heaven?”“I have never seen so many bright pearls before… Oh my god.”“I wonder who owned this tomb and what kind of noblewomen they were.”“Any random object in this place would be priceless!”Compared to the others, Xyla wasn’t as excited since she had already seen them twice, but she still felt happy on the inside.After taking her phone out for another round of pictures, Xyla directly set her sight on a bright pearl, activating her penetrating vision.Soon, she was able to witness the pearl-making process.Then, she used it on other objects and was also able to see all their processes.From the outfits worn by the craftsmen and various creation processes of the objects she saw, these were all from the end of the second century.Xyla then selectively used her vision on other things and made the s
“That’s right, you’re pretty and capable. Indeed, you’re a model housewife from the Batton family.”“No wonder Mr. Batton likes you. You really are amazing.”The other archeologists also couldn’t resist complimenting Xyla Quest.They held great respect for her.Xyla, who was used to being admired and worshipped by everyone, didn’t feel particularly affected by all this attention.“You’re all too kind," she responded, still seeming poised and collected. All right, let’s figure out how to move these things.”“We have boxes specifically for the job on the helicopters. Let’s categorize the items and put similar objects in each box,” Brian suggested.“All right, let’s do that,” Xyla agreed.“I’ll send someone to get the boxes,” Brian said before issuing instructions to some of his team members, who reluctantly left shortly after.Meanwhile, Xyla remained at the site to categorize the antiques along with the other experts. There were countless antique items there that the moving r
The high-pitched sound instantly drew everyone’s attention, turning their heads to look behind them.It was the sound of the elevator moving, making them curious about the impending arrival.Approximately twenty minutes later, Stanley Batton appeared in front of everyone with three bodyguards dressed in black.He wore a long black wool coat, a black belt, a white shirt, black pants, and a pair of black leather shoes.His skin appeared unusually fair in the stark contrast between black and white, creating a strong visual effect.Despite the number of people in the underground tomb, none of them sparkled more brightly than he did.He could be standing in a shroud of darkness, still, everyone felt as if the entire world had lit up the moment he walked in.Stanley was even more eye-catching than the priceless bright pearls.He wore his usual aloof facial expression and people couldn’t help but feel intimidated.Just one look at him was enough to make many of them nervous.Althoug
“Comparing only makes one angry. I suddenly want to divorce my husband…”“Me too. My husband isn’t as rich or as attentive as Stanley. What’s the point of keeping him around?”“I’m truly envious… there’s no greater love than this.” “I’ve always known that he pampers his wife. Now that I’ve seen it in person, I know that he is indeed different.”The female experts couldn’t resist talking amongst themselves again, their voices overlapping and sounding chaotic.However, Xyla Quest could hear everything.Without betraying any emotion, she merely smiled and continued to look at Stanley Batton. “In that case, stay here with me.”“Okay,” Stanley replied.“We’re all hungry. Did you bring anything to eat? I was going to ask someone up there to buy some food,” Xyla said.“I did... someone will bring the food down later,” he stated.“Okay.”“You must be tired, Honey,” he said.Xyla shook her head. “Not at all. They’re the ones who are tired.” Her husband then looked around at every
