Chapter 955
After the entourage of black luxury cars left the airport, they sped all the way.Finally, the cars stopped in front of parlor No.1 at Municipal Funeral Home.All sorts of black luxury cars were parked in the parking lot.There were white lanterns hung all around the courtyard where the funeral was held.The sky seemed gray and dull.It was as if the entire world was shrouded in a haze.The door of the parlor was wide open.Xyla Quest could clearly see Emily Quest and May Conner’s coffins surrounded by a large pile of wreaths.There were also countless wreaths placed neatly by both sides of the parlor’s entrance.There were also black-and-white photos of the both of them smiling widely on the wall behind the coffins.Jeremy Quest was sitting motionless in front of their coffins. He seemed to be hunching a little from behind. It was as if he had suddenly aged by a few years.All the Quest family’s close friends and family members were here. Right then, some of them were linin

Everyone in the Sullivan family seemed very aggrieved, but there wasn’t a single tear in their eyes.Xyla Quest knew very well that the entire family was just putting on an act.None of them from the Sullivan family actually felt sad about Emily Quest’s death.Yet, even so, Xyla still didn’t feel sorry for Emily.Everyone needed to pay for what they did. Back when Emily was alive, she wasn’t kind to others. After she died, she also shouldn’t receive kindness from others.Jeremy Quest didn’t say anything. Instead, he silently listened to what the Sullivan family said as he looked at his wife and daughter’s memorial portraits with an empty gaze.He was feeling extremely upset.Although he hated the two of them thoroughly, he still felt a great pain in his chest when he looked at their coffins and memorial portraits.Seeing her father like this made Xyla feel extremely upset as well.She immediately hugged Jeremy tight. “Dad, please don’t be too sad. You’ll hurt yourself,” Xyla s

About half an hour later, Jeremy Quest trembled as he stood up. He walked directly to Xyla Quest. “Please go home and pack up your aunt and Emily’s belongings. We’ll bury those things with the two of them tomorrow,” he said.After saying that, Jeremy looked at Stanley Batton. “Stan, please stay here and look after the guests.”“Okay,” Xyla replied. After that, Xyla walked out of the parlor with Stanley. She then left the funeral home with a group of bodyguards waiting outside.***Back at the Quest family’s place, Xyla led the servants into Emily’s room to sort out her personal belongings.They first took the jewelry on Emily’s dresser and put them into a leather case.After that, they went into Emily’s closet to continue sorting stuff out. They placed all of Emily’s clothes, some accessories, and her shoes into the leather case.“What is this? Ms. Xyla, come and have a look, quickly…” A female servant suddenly called out.Xyla happened to be holding a few items of clothing and

Xyla Quest immediately walked over to the injured female servant as quickly as she could. She half-kneeled on the ground and checked the woman’s right wrist.There was a very thin silver needle in the female servant’s wrist. Only half of the needle had pierced her flesh, and the remaining half was still exposed.The skin where the servant was stabbed had already turned black.Clearly, the needle contained poison…When the other servants saw this, they immediately gathered around. Each of them was shocked.Xyla then looked at the box the servant mentioned.It was a huge square box with a Country Z design of flower carvings on it. There was a combination lock on the box.Clearly, there was a mechanism on the box, and this servant had accidentally activated it. That was why the silver needle hurt her.Pfft—The next second, the female servant who was jabbed by the needle fell directly to the ground. She was bleeding from all seven of her orifices and had passed out.When Xyla sa

“Everyone, leave for now… Don’t touch anything inside this room. Leave it all to me,” Xyla Quest said.The servants were more than happy to hear this. As soon as they heard what Xyla said, they all ran outside.Once everyone had left, Xyla shifted her gaze back to the box in the drawer.Upon taking a closer look, she discovered a piece of red paper beneath the box.She knew there would be secrets regardless of whether it was the box before her eyes or the paper beneath the box.If something terrifying wasn’t hidden inside, Emily Quest definitely wouldn’t have used a box that contained such a mechanism.Although Xyla badly wanted to know what was inside, she didn’t dare to just touch it.Xyla could only suppress her curiosity and carefully push the drawer back inside.She’d have to look for someone professional to solve this mystery.Otherwise, she would end up like the female servant earlier.From the odd symbols on the wall to the strange box in front of her, Xyla realized m

Xyla Quest tried unlocking it with Emily Quest’s birth date, but it didn’t work at all.In the end, she tried using May Conner, Jeremy Quest, and Tom Sullivan’s birth dates.The first two attempts didn’t work, but Tom’s birth date successfully unlocked the box.Inside the box was a massive number of glass bottles with transparent liquid inside.The bottles were shaped like experimental test tubes, but the length was only half that of small-sized test tubes.There were also strange symbols on the bottle that Xyla had seen before.Xyla seriously had no idea what these were.Hence, she quickly put the stuff aside and continued to look through Emily’s closet.After that, Xyla didn’t discover anything suspicious.She then returned to Emily’s room to continue searching for anything suspicious.Likewise, she found nothing.After that, Xyla quickly made her way into May Conner’s room.The first thing she did was to open the drawers to May’s dressing table…In the top-most drawer o

“Honey… Please come back to the Quest family’s house. I discovered very strange things,” Xyla Quest said.“Hmm, okay…” Stanley Batton answered without hesitation.There were people walking past him all the time, but none of them shone brighter than him.After making the call, Xyla turned to look at a few servants who were doing house chores. “Come here…” She said.The servants quickly walked over to Xyla. They bowed their heads respectfully while waiting for instructions from Xyla.“You must all keep what happened at home today a secret. Nobody will say a word…” Xyla instructed earnestly.Someone very powerful might be hiding behind all this. There might also be a huge, shocking scheme.If what happened was known to outsiders, and this person found out, it might easily cause panic…After all, Xyla was out in the open, but that person was still hidden in the dark.“Yes!” the servants all answered simultaneously.“If I discover anyone spreading the news out, I will make her pay
Chapter 962
Xyla Quest subconsciously glanced at the surveillance screen first.Indeed, it was Ron Batton who stood outside the door. He was wearing a set of white martial arts outfits with a walking stick in his hand.The handle part of the walking stick was made of a huge, white jade ball. It seemed low-profile but yet had a tinge of luxury to it.Xyla quickly opened the door and passed Ron a pair of slippers. “Grandpa, these slippers are for you.”“Thank you, Xyla…” Ron said gently before looking affectionately at Xyla and changing into the slippers.Once he was done, he casually closed the door behind him and resumed a somber expression on his face. “Where’s that Soul Devouring Potion you spoke of?”“Here…” Xyla naturally held Ron’s arm and led him over to a seat in front of the living room’s coffee table.As soon as they sat down, Xyla eagerly handed over the bottle she had checked out earlier to Ron.Stanley Batton didn’t say anything. Instead, with a grave expression on his face, he
