“All right, Stan, I think you’re right. What if Xyla hates us when she finds out later?” Sharon Lindt asked.Stanley Batton frowned deeply, feeling mixed emotions. “I’d rather be hated by her than have her go through an emotional breakdown.”Xyla Quest was already devastated. If she found out about her father’s death, things would only worsen.The consequences might be dire if the emotional stress takes a toll on her.He wouldn’t allow that to happen, even if Xyla ended up hating him.He needed to protect his wife.Sharon instantly nodded in agreement. “All right, Stan, I’ll do as you say. What do we do next?”Stanley furrowed his brows. “Send his body to the morgue but don’t proceed with cremation just yet. Get an autopsy first.”His mother's eyes widened in surprise when she heard this. “Do you suspect there might be something behind his death?”He frowned again. “Just as a precaution.”It was better to investigate Jeremy Quest’s death thoroughly since it happened a little
Chapter 2020
Dark clouds dotted the skies, both in Atlantis and the nameless island on which Yaksha lived.Approximately five minutes later, Stanley Batton suddenly felt a gust of wind in the house, followed by a dense sandalwood scent.The odd occurrences caused Stanley to look around subconsciously, finding nothing out of place other than those.The strong wind continued for approximately five minutes before disappearing, regaining some warmth within the house again.Stanley was taken aback by what happened, feeling increasingly curious about what Yaksha was doing upstairs.Approximately half an hour later, a strong gust of wind appeared in the house again, carrying the same thick sandalwood scent with it.This time, the lights went out in the house and plunged everything into darkness.Stanley's eyes darted around, but he couldn’t see anything.The darkness lasted for five minutes before the lights in the house flickered on again, making everything peaceful and warm once more.It all fe

“They’re in a cave on Mount Barrow right now, but the demon fox isn’t with them,” Yaksha told him.Stanley Batton instantly felt relieved when he heard this, glad that his children were still alive when he thought they'd be dead.“Are they doing all right?”“I’m not sure about that, but regardless of whether they’re fine or not, we need to hurry and make our way there,” Yaksha said.“Can you go there in your current state?” Stanley asked worriedly.“I can. Don’t worry.”With that, Yaksha reached for the railing with difficulty and stood up, immediately coughing as soon as he did.Cough, cough, cough."If I don’t go with you now, you won’t be able to find your children.”“Thank you,” Stanley replied with a deep frown.“Why so courteous? I’m only repaying the kindness that I was shown. Besides, I owe the Quest family big time,” Yaksha replied.“I came here with my helicopter. I’ll fly you there right away,” Stanley suggested, but Yaksha shook his head.“We don’t need a helico
Chapter 2022
The two children were floating mid-air despite not being supported by any object.The tubes connected to their bodies were gone, but they seemed to be in an even better state now than other babies born after a full-term pregnancy.Their bodies emitted golden light, lighting up the entire space around them with their glow.Stanley Batton and Yaksha had to look away due to how bright the light was.Suddenly, the light coming from them disappeared before the babies slowly drifted over to the two men, prompting them to reach out and catch them subconsciously.At that moment, they both looked shocked.Yaksha stayed silent and slowly carried the baby girl as he sat on the ground before checking her pulse.He seemed even more shocked when he was done.“What is it?” Stanley asked.Yaksha quickly stood up. “This kid seems even healthier than full-term babies. She’s healthy and won’t need to be kept in an insulated case. She won’t even need any medication.“Not only that, but I also se

Their facial features also seemed much more vivid than before.No matter how Stanley Batton looked at them, they looked identical to him.Their skin was fair from head to toe.It seemed like they had inherited all of Xyla Quest’s positive traits.At that moment, the two of them were sound asleep, remaining quiet as they breathed evenly. The mere sight of them made Stanley’s heart melt.He also felt a stronger connection to them.It was sufficiently warm in the room, so the children only had a thin layer of white cloth wrapped around them.However, they were already sweating from the heat.Stanley carefully untucked their tiny hands from under the cloth, only to discover something odd.They both had identical and realistic-looking plum blossom-shaped birthmarks on the back of their left palms.They looked even more realistic than tattoos.He could vaguely see golden rays of light surrounding the blossoms, which then disappeared after a few seconds.'What was going on?'Stan

A vague smile appeared on Yaksha’s face after saying that.“So, does this mean the birthmarks only bring good fortune and nothing bad?” Stanley Batton asked.“Naturally. It's something good that only appears once every few thousand years,” Yaksha said.Hearing that, Stanley slowly began to feel relieved.“Here are some supplements I’ve prepared for Xyla. Take them,” the older man added, handing the black bag he was holding to him.“Thank you,” he said before accepting the bag. "Shall we leave now?”“Hold on. These too,” Yaksha said as he picked up the large bamboo basket he brought with him from up on the mountain earlier.He then retrieved another black paper bag from a drawer under the coffee table before carefully packing the root vegetables into the bag. “We’ll go and see Xyla now. Let’s get into the helicopter,” he told Stanley before he gingerly picked up the baby boy.He began to smile the moment he was in his arms. “The longer I look at these children, the more I like t

Yaksha didn’t answer Stanley Batton’s question directly. Instead, he changed the topic. “For your children, let’s name them Lynette Batton for the girl and Leon Batton for the boy.”Lynette Batton and Leon Batton.Stanley liked those names very much. "Okay."Yaksha beamed and then sped up his pace.Soon, they both arrived on the floor where Xyla Quest's ward was located with the two children.Right then, there were bodyguards everywhere. They seemed stunned when they saw the two men walking in with the missing babies.However, none of them dared to ask any questions and merely exchanged bewildered glances.The police were there not long ago to investigate. At the time, they still hadn’t found the children.So how did Stanley and an oddly attired masked man appear with the children suddenly?The nurses were equally surprised as they walked past the counter, prompting one of them to step forward to address Stanley respectfully.“Mr. Batton, please hurry up and bring the childre

People said that the end of science was the beginning of magic. Was that true?Were these children kidnapped by monsters?Did those monsters kidnap the children to heal them?The nurse felt deeply confused.Soon, all the nurses at the counter started talking amongst themselves, which was the only thing they dared to do.Stanley Batton had given specific instructions not to bring up anything in front of outsiders.Everyone in the country knew that offending Stanley Batton would result in a death sentence.After arriving in front of Xyla Quest’s ward, Stanley directly opened the door and walked in, eager to see his wife.He wanted to know how she was doing.Xyla was still sound asleep as the door opened.The sky was turning gray outside, signaling that nightfall was upon them.Sharon Lindt sat restlessly next to Xyla right then, so she was surprised to see her son and Yaksha entering with the children.She instantly sprang to her feet to greet them.All thoughts in her mind
