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
When Xyla Quest heard the voice, a sensation of numbness settled over her head.The workers were also nervous as their eyes widened in terror.Stanley Batton frowned slightly before glancing around. He then turned toward the direction where the sound came from.Seeing this, Xyla subconsciously grabbed his hand tightly, mustering the courage to look in the same direction.The scream had come from the seventh room where they found the coffin.Xyla felt the numbness worsen.Could the sound have come from the corpse in the coffin?The others were also looking in the direction of the coffin, a tensed mood settling over them.With the entire world falling silent, it was as if they could even hear a pin drop.It was the kind of deadly silence that people were most afraid of.Xyla’s nerves had also gotten tense as she tightened her grip on her husband's hand.Under such circumstances, Stanley was her only source of security.It felt like she was holding onto a floating log to stop
It was so dark that nobody could even see their fingers in front of them.Everybody started talking at once... many even screamed out loud.Overwhelmed with fear once again, a strange force suddenly lifted Xyla Quest, her body flying forward rapidly.It happened so fast that she couldn’t react in time.She could not even cry for help, even if she wanted to.It felt as if there was a restriction in her throat that stopped her from making any sound.Her body floated in the air and moved forward as if she was in outer space where gravity no longer existed.The darkness intensified feelings of fear, and at this very moment, Xyla had never been more scared.Her heart was also beating faster and faster as if it would soon leap out of her chest.The strong sense of fear caused her mind to go blank.Right then, Xyla felt that she had lost complete control of her body, where a strange force was whirling her around like a spinning top in the air.And then, her body stopped mid-air.W
