The cruise ship was well-lit. It looked like a night pearl shimmering in the ocean as they viewed it from the sky. There were many people on the deck of the cruise ship.In addition to Dragon Group’s top executives from all over the world, there were also some famous stars from the entertainment industry and some dignitaries from the political circle. The descending helicopter had caught everyone’s attention.Almost all eyes fell upon it. “That’s our president and his wife, right?”“I’ve seen pictures of the young mistress before. She’s gorgeous!”“Well, well. I bet all the bachelors are going to go crazy later.”Very soon, the helicopter landed on the deck under the crowd’s attention. Everyone could not take their eyes off the helicopter. Zack Cassidy, who was flying the helicopter, was the first to get out of the helicopter, followed by the several black-clad bodyguards.After that, Zack approached the passenger seat and opened the hatch. Stanley’s and Xyla Quest’
All of them were dressed up in exquisite suits and gowns. There were towers of pastry, champagne, and wine at each corner of the hall. What was more striking was the white nineteen-layer cake in the middle of the banquet hall. Each layer of the cake was decorated with beautiful white swans. The enormous cake was incredibly magnificent. The party was just like the king's feast described in the fairy tales. It took Xyla Quest quite some time to find Wilson Batton and Sharon Lindt among the crowd. Josh Batton was standing right behind them. They were busy toasting and chatting with the guests. Josh and Wilson were much quieter compared to Sharon Lindt, who had been talking non-stop. Sharon told Xyla before that Josh would be the host for the party tonight. Maybe time stopped when Xyla and Stanley entered the hall. Everyone was frozen to their spots, their lips parted, and their eyes fixed upon them. They subconsciously moved sideways and formed a path for the pair. The
A girl was standing right in front of Xyla Quest. Her long black hair was styled into two low braids. There was a tiny daisy hairpin above her right ear, matching well with her Korean bangs. She was wearing a snow-white nightgown with a pair of silver ballet flats. Joy was written all over her mixed-race face. Her pair of black watery eyes were sparkling with delight. She was Daisy Cox. She was the girl Xyla met at Kingstell International Exhibition Hall a few days ago. She looked radiant today. Her anxiety and panic that day had completely vanished. There were two delicate dimples near the corners of her mouth as she smiled.Her eyes were clean and clear. Her face was young and youthful. She looked very much like a gentle, adorable little princess. Though her dimples were not alcohol, Xyla felt like she was getting drunk by looking at it. “It’s me, Miss.” Daisy smiled. “I totally didn’t expect to see you here. How’s that young man? Is he okay now?” Xyla asked concer
“No one knows about this person’s background, and no one knows where this person came up with such a large amount of start-up capital.“No one could find out anything about this person’s past before he became popular… He’s like a person who appeared out of thin air.“Currently, Dragon Group collaborates with HM on many projects…” Stanley Batton said each word with a serious expression.Behind Stanley, Gary Lakes, Sebastian Brenand, and Henry Armstrong just listened quietly without interrupting.“Is he that mysterious?” Xyla Quest asked.“Well, the next president of Country T will very likely be him. Currently, he has a high support rate in Country T,” Stanley said.“He looks pretty young. How old is he?” Xyla became increasingly curious about this man.“He’s twenty-five…” Stanley said.“Only twenty-five and he’s already achieved so much. This person will have a bright future,” Xylac complimented.“I did a lot better than him when I was twenty-five…” Stanley added.His words m
“Someone bribed my driver to put poison in the drinks I keep in my car’s fridge,” Tyler Terrell said.“In that case, you’ll have to be more careful about who you hire in the future,” Xyla Quest said.Tyler once again smiled devilishly. “Yes, thank you for your concern, beautiful lady. If you come to Country T in the future, remember to look for me. Your husband has my contact details. You can get it from him.“Or, if you’d like to do something in Country T, I could help out too… I have contacts in both the political and business realms, and I can make sure you get to do whatever you want in Country T,” Tyler said.“If my wife wants to do anything, naturally, she can just look for me. So, I don’t think we need to bother you,” Stanley looked at Tyler and said dominantly.His extremely possessive behavior made Xyla’s heart feel instantly warmed.Tyler laughed. “That darned possessiveness… What’s the matter? Are you afraid I’m going to steal your wife?”“You don’t have what it takes
“Xyla… You’re really like a popular star now. You’ve appeared on the list of hot topics so frequently…” Georgie Clementine said.“What did they say about me this time?” Xyla Quest asked.“Check out the hot topics,” Georgie said.When Xyla heard this, she directly tapped into Weibo’s hot topics section to take a look.Hot topic number one, ‘#Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton# Explosive’.Hot topic number two, ‘#Dragon Group 70th anniversary celebration and Josh Batton#’.Hot topic number three, ‘#Josh Batton, Stanley Batton, and Xyla Quest#’.Xyla directly tapped on the first hot topic and took a look…There was a group of marketing accounts sharing photos of her and Stanley Batton together…There were pictures of Stanley carrying her off a helicopter and pictures of Stanley dancing with her, and pictures of them and Josh dancing together on stage.The photos were all unedited pictures, but they seemed more beautiful than the average celebrity’s finely retouched pictures.Xyla an
“Kill the others on the deck too… Their happiness looks annoying,” the golden-masked man said creepily.As soon as the golden-masked man gave the order, a group of men dressed in black tied ropes around their waists.In the very next second, twenty men dressed in black leaped down in unison.The ropes were long, and after jumping down, their bodies hung only two meters above the deck.Immediately after that, they began to shoot in the direction of the deck quickly…Bullets rained down on the deck one by one, and they exploded all over the deck…Danger approached—Xyla Quest immediately pulled Daisy Cox along to hide behind a thick pillar nearby. After that, they quickly dived to the ground.Bullets continued to rain from above, colliding against the pillar next to them. Countless sparks could be seen under the dark night sky.The five guests on the deck panicked all of a sudden, and they fled in all directions while they cried for help.Some of them had already been hit by bu
The moment they appeared, all the panic in Xyla Quest’s heart disappeared. In its place, Xyla only felt an endless sense of security.Amid the gunfire, they quickly came to Xyla’s side, standing in front of her and Daisy Cox.People said that, in times of trouble, true love could be observed.In this life-and-death situation, the two brothers were willing to go against the tides for Xyla, blocking the wave of bullets from her. This really touched her.With a sniping rifle in hand, Stanley Batton started shooting at the group of men dressed in black. He looked at Josh Batton and gave an order. “Take them away first…”His tone was firm, leaving no space for discussion.The way Stanley fired his gun was very professional. While holding a gun, he looked even more handsome. He was just like the handsome protagonist who rescued the world in action movies.Stanley barely missed a shot. After firing twice, two men dressed in black were hit on the wrist.The next second, the guns in the
