Chapter 958
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

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

“It looks like… They have always been the same. Anyway, they just treated me unusually badly,” Xyla Quest said.“I think it’s unlikely that the person controlled them at an early stage… Perhaps, some time down the road, they fell under this person’s control. Otherwise, Xyla wouldn’t have been able to stay alive until now.“But I still don’t get it. This person feels to me like a very powerful person. It should be very easy for him to take your life. Why did he go around in circles like this? Wouldn’t it be easier if he simply hypnotized you and made you commit suicide?” Ron Batton began to voice his concerns.The things Stanley Batton and Ron said were also what Xyla wanted to say.Endless question marks circled the three of their heads. All three of them felt very confused.There were many issues from a logical standpoint.“I’m afraid we’ll only be able to understand what exactly is going on after we find that person. The problem is that he is in the dark while we are in the lig

“Tonight, we can quietly move their corpses to another place while nobody else is around. We’ll replace their corpses with two other corpses. Those corpses will be cremated in their place tomorrow morning.“After that, we’ll secretly conduct autopsies on their bodies to find out the real cause of their deaths,” Xyla Quest said.She believed there would definitely be traces of what was done before.They would leave no stone unturned.“Hmm,” Stanley Batton murmured.“Oh, right. I also found these things in Emily’s room. Have a look. These are all weird symbols. Do you recognize them?” Xyla said before retrieving some of the Post-it notes with weird symbols written on them from the luggage next to her. She then handed the Post-it notes over to Ron Batton.After seeing the contents of the Post-it notes, Ron and Stanley both looked confused.Neither of them recognized what those symbols were.“I don’t recognize it… This looks like a kind of script. It looks like an ancient form of t

Ron Batton didn’t say anything. Instead, he continued to frown deeply. “It’s probably the Black Poison…”“Black Poison?” Xyla Quest had never heard about any such poison. Now, she felt increasingly curious.“Yeah. This kind of poison also originated from Sorax. It’s made using over ten thousand types of poisons. A single dosage the size of a sesame seed would be enough to turn someone into this…” Ron said.“Like the Soul Devouring Potion, this kind of poison should have eventually disappeared following his death…” Ron added.Both types of poisons pointed them to Sorax.Xyla felt that this ‘master’ must have been related to Sorax somehow.After all, these two types of poison were both rare poisons of this world.If this person wasn’t related to Sorax, it must not have been easy to acquire such poisons…“Master, honey, do you think this ‘master’ might be related to Sorax? Otherwise, how did he come to possess these strange poisons that should have disappeared following Sorax’s de
