Chapter 1103

Author: Moonlight
“Young friend, from where did you get this painting?” Xavier York’s eyes were filled with curiosity. “Pablo Picasso’s real works are extremely rare. It’s not easy for ordinary people to get them.”

“I got lucky at the market…” Xyla Quest said.

She didn’t feel the need to explain the details. After all, she wasn’t all that close to this person.

“You’re too amazing. Where did you get it? It couldn’t possibly be from these three, right?” Xavier pointed at the three people by the door.

Mr. Warren instantly nodded…

After that, Mr. Warren explained the entire incident of how Xyla bought the antique from him to Xavier. Whenever he described something, he would feel pain as if a needle was poking his heart.

After listening to the explanation, Xavier was directly shocked.

Yesterday, he even saw on Weibo how Xyla had managed to grab a good deal at an auction.

In the news, it was said that she had managed to identify a painting within a painting…

Today, she actually managed to get lucky w

    “We still don’t have a clue for now…” Zack Cassidy said over the phone.“In that case, have we found out who killed those people on the cruise ship on the day of Dragon Group’s seventieth anniversary?” Stanley Batton asked again.“No…” Zack sounded a little dejectedly.“Understood… Keep an eye on them and make sure they quickly get to the bottom of this,” Stanley added.When Xyla Quest heard these things, she felt immensely disappointed on the inside…Noticing the look of disappointment upon Xyla’s face, Stanley affectionately caressed her face. He directly hung up the phone.He extended his arm and pulled her onto his lap. Just like how one treaded a noble and obedient Persian cat, he started gently stroking her head. “Don’t worry. We’ll discover the truth…”Xyla nodded a little. “Hmm…”“I heard that you discovered a real work of Pablo Picasso at the antique market. Is that true?” Stanley asked.When this incident was mentioned, Xyla’s mood suddenly became much better.“Who

    Stanley Batton ruffled Xyla Quest’s hair affectionately. “Okay. In that case, I’ll get their team leader to add you on WeChat. You can talk to him yourself,” he said.Xyla nodded.Stanley didn’t directly get someone to explore jade mines and gold mines for Xyla.Instead, he introduced Xyla to the best exploration team.Based on Stanley’s capabilities, when Xyla said she wanted to establish jade and gold mines yesterday, he could already have given her several hundred best mines this morning.Whatever Xyla wanted, Stanley could give it to her.However, Stanley knew that Xyla wasn’t the kind of person who liked a low-hanging fruit. Instead, she enjoyed the satisfaction of achieving things with her own efforts, little by little.Stanley only did this because he understood her very well and respected her.He would offer just the right amount of assistance to Xyla, but he wouldn’t do everything for her…As for how far she could go, it’d all depend on her abilities.Xyla gently wra

    “Team K5’s ADC and top solo might not even be defeated by Xyla Quest and Alex at his peak, alright?”“To be honest, although Xyla’s gameplay is excellent, she’s still not as great as Team K5’s ADC. I think Little D barely makes any mistake, right?”“As an anti-fan of Team XS, I’d like to say that Team XS will lose tomorrow. Even if Xyla is in the game, she won’t be able to rescue Alex from that state.”When Xyla Quest saw these comments, she felt annoyed.However, she didn’t reply to any of them.Instead, she silently exited from the forum…This was the reality of Esports competitions. Those who won would get all the compliments, while those who lost would be criticized…If one won in a match and performed well, others would put them on a pedestal.However, if a match was lost, people would criticize brutally… In Esports competitions, only results mattered.Right then, Michael Gabriel gave Xyla a call on the phone…Xyla instantly picked up. “What is it, Mr. Gabriel…”“Abou

    “Little D is really strong. He’s only joined League of Legends for a short while, but he’s already tormented all the top ADC players in the game. Although Xyla Quest is very strong, I think this person will still overpower her.”“Isn’t Lil Eight powerful too? He’s definitely better than Alex during his peak, alright? Look at his performance now. Isn’t he way better than Alex during his peak? Now, on the entire list of top solo players in League of Legends, nobody can beat him.”“In reply to the above comment, how can you compare League of Legends’ current quality of players to the past? Back when Alex first came out, he was the best top solo in the game, alright? How can you compare someone who just torments weaklings to Alex?”“To be honest, in conclusion, every position in Team K5 is a god-like player. Even Xyla can’t change the tides. Personally, I think Xyla shouldn’t get involved. At least, if she doesn’t play in the match, she can still maintain her goddess image in our hearts

    As the most popular players in the competition, Xyla Quest and Alex both received a special close-up feature by the broadcast director one at a time.When the fans at the scene saw their close-up feature, they all started yelling crazily…Soon, Xyla and the other members put on their professional headsets.Their headsets could completely filter out external sounds. As soon as they put those headsets on, all the screaming and shouting instantly disappeared.At this moment, Xyla felt extremely comfortable.Right after that, the battle began…On Team XS’s side, the top solo chose Kalista, the jungler chose Sett, the mid solo chose LeBlanc, and the ADC chose Aphelios, while the support chose Tahm Kench.Meanwhile, on Team K5’s side, the top solo chose Fiora, the jungler chose Nidalee, the mid solo chose Orianna, the ADC chose Ezreal, while the support chose Nautilus.Team XS’s formation was slightly weaker from the overall perspective, while their opponent’s formation seemed more s

    Suddenly, the two commentators were directly dumbfounded—“What just happened? Is this the legendary smack in the face?” Ben asked.“I’m shocked, brother. I apologize. Who said Xyla would be overpowered by her opponent? She was practically fighting against two heroes on her own. Xyla’s doing very well… However, I’m still a little worried. That’s because the top laner, Alex, hasn’t been performing well lately…” Luffy said.As soon as he finished speaking, Alex, who was in the top lane, also started to engage in a battle with his opposing top laner, Lil Eight.A one-versus-one in the top lane…Using his god-like maneuvers and his unique understanding of the game, Alex was able to directly kill Lil Eight within a few moves…It happened so fast that everyone couldn’t even understand what happened.Luffy, the commentator, couldn’t help but shout in surprise again. “D*mn! What did I just witness? Why do I feel like Team XS is just here to slap me in the face?”“I’d like to apologize

We’ll shake hands with our opponents…”Right after that, everyone stood up joyfully.Due to the long-awaited victory, everyone was in a great mood.After giving each other high-fives to celebrate, Xyla led everyone over to Team K5 that had lost.As per usual, the team members shook each of their opponents’ hands. After that, Xyla led everyone to the center of the stage.The pretty host, Snowy, instantly walked over to Xyla and looked at the team members. “Firstly, congratulations to Team XS for winning the match. I have a question for Alex today. I’d like to ask you, how did you get back your skills again?“We all know that you performed like a battl

    Although a black mask covered most of Josh Batton’s face, it still couldn’t conceal the bright light that his body emanated.The way he looked was clean, fresh, and gentle. He was just like a cool breeze with a floral scent that blew at one’s face during a hot, sunny day. It was all that was needed to make someone feel at ease.Even if he wasn’t doing anything and was just sitting there silently, Xyla Quest could still spot him at one glance.Meanwhile, none of the ladies next to him noticed his top-notch existence.At this moment, everyone was staring at Xyla, who was on the stage, and the other members of Team XS…The moment their eyes met, Xyla smiled at Josh.Josh, on the other hand, gave her a thumbs up with a glimmer in his eyes.Immediately after that, the host began to ask Xyla and the other team members all sorts of questions…Meanwhile, Xyla also quickly shifted her attention back to the host, Snowy.When she looked up at Josh again, she noticed that the seat was emp

    Xyla quickly reached for Hannah’s hand. “Is that right? Hannah, you’re amazing…! You’re practically on par with Leon!”Hannah laughed, slightly embarrassed. “Not at all.”“Oh, cut it out. If you hadn’t helped me, how could I have improved so quickly?” Leon chuckled.“I guess I’ve lived up to my promise.” Hannah giggled along.Back then, she had promised Leon that she would become someone deserving of him.She claimed that she would grow with Leon.Without a doubt, she had done it.Now, Hannah had become a successful woman many would often speak of. She earned her rightful seat next to Leon as the CEO of Dragon Group.Stanley also turned to look at Hannah. “Yes, Hannah’s very capable. She’s our family pride.”Hannah laughed. “I was lucky to be accepted by your family.”In fact, Hannah genuinely felt grateful toward the Batton family over the years she had spent with them.They had helped her through all the hardship she encountered when she was poor and down on her luck.Aft

    “Hannah, I’ve taken the first step for you. Are you willing to walk by my side for the rest of our lives?” Leon asked, serious.“Yes, I am…” Hannah answered without missing a beat.“I’ll protect you. From now on, you don’t have to worry about a single thing.” With that, Leon placed both hands on Hannah’s face and kissed her on the lips.The moment their lips touched, everything felt surreal…Hannah could feel pink, light bubbles floating all around her. It felt as if all the flowers in the world were blossoming at once.In Hannah’s dark, depressing life, Leon was her only salvation.He was a ray of hope that led her out of hell, so she could see light once more.Hannah thought she would never have anything to do with Leon after she quit school.Even until now, she still remembered how sorrowful she was on her last day of school.But now… Not only did she get the opportunity to interact with him once more, but they also became a couple.Their driver sighed to himself while

    Over time, Leon’s feelings for Hannah grew deeper, stronger, and more intense.He had grown used to having her with him all the time.Thus, he hoped she would stay by his side for the rest of his life.Upon hearing his words, Hannah’s mind went blank.What did her dream guy just say?Was she dreaming?Hannah quickly pinched her palm at the thought in an attempt to discern between dream and reality.Her palm hurt. That meant this wasn’t a dream. It was real!Hannah felt even more dumbfounded…This meant Leon actually liked her! He was confessing to her, wasn’t he?Did her dream guy actually reciprocate her feelings?Never in her wildest dreams did Hannah imagine she would go through such an experience.Excitement jammed her mind, so much that she was rendered speechless. There were many things she wanted to say, and yet, she couldn’t utter a single word.Her heartbeat increased rapidly, and her entire body began to shake. Sensing her trembling body, Leon tightened his e

    Immediately after, the men in black pulled out guns from their pockets, which they aimed at Raymond’s head.Raymond panicked instantly, going pale.He subconsciously retreated a step back. “Who are you? Don’t you know what you’re doing is illegal?”Leon sneered. “You don’t deserve to know my name. In this city, I am the law.”Leon’s domineering words made him seem even more imposing.At this moment, Hannah felt as if he was a guardian angel sent from Heaven to protect her.Something about him seemed oddly sacred and heavenly.“Mr. Batton, do I shoot him in the head?” One of the men dressed in black asked.“Mr. Batton? Are you Stanley Batton’s son?!” Fear was beginning to spread through Raymond. For one to have Batton as his surname and act this arrogantly in Atlantis, he could be none other than a member of the renowned Batton family.“How dare you address our president by name?!” Another man in black leveled Raymond with a chilling glare.Suffice to say, Raymond was terrif

    Terrible pain ached at every part of Hannah’s body as she collided with the cold, hard ground.The pain was such that all her bones felt close to breaking. Everywhere hurt badly.At that moment, Hannah felt like a fragile doll made of clay that had been forcefully slammed hard against the ground until it broke into small pieces.Her mind went blank from the stinging agony.She braced herself and looked at the cold eyes staring back at her, filled with terror. Stammering, she asked, “Mr. Gray… What is the meaning of this?” “What’s the meaning of this? Ha! Don’t you know what’s good for you? You dumb b*tch… You’re lucky that I set my sights on you!”“How dare you refuse my feelings! Not just that, but you even made up a story to deceive me!”“Even when you saw me, you tried to trick me again!”“Do you think I’m stupid? That I can’t think? Do you honestly think I’d fall for your lies again and again?” Raymond went, his tone steadily rising into a furious roar.He then got on o

    Although the sun had long sunk beneath the horizons and darkness had set in, the lively city wasn’t about to be silent anytime soon. Hannah felt deeply unsettled, so much that she didn’t leave right away.Instead, she waited in front of the bar, filled with hesitance and anxiety.Should she really leave?Would Rihanna truly be able to sort things out?The man was Raymond Gray… Neither Rihanna nor the bar could afford to upset him, lest they face terrible repercussions.Hannah remained standing on the same spot, uncertain. She really didn’t know what to do.Finally, she came to a decision. She took out her phone and tapped open a ride-hailing application on her phone.Yet just as she did that, she instantly closed it. Afterwards, she began pacing back and forth in worried circles, going to and fro aimlessly. Right as she was trapped in her worried musings, a group of people exited the bar. Raymond Gray, dressed in black, sporty attire, led all of them in a flamboyant manner.

    A handsome waiter quickly walked in and looked at Rihanna. “Ms. Jensen, Mr. Gray out there insists that Hannah should get on stage to sing another song. I told him that Hannah would only sing three songs today…”“He lost his temper and claimed he’d destroy our bar if Hannah refuses to sing another song…” The waiter added. He was visibly trembling by the end of the sentence.Hannah figured Mr. Gray was probably the only son of the new mayor of Atlantis there weren’t many people with Gray as their surname in Atlantis. There were even less people who were arrogant like him. He was the only one.Hannah had heard about how terrible this person could be. He was known to be a womanizer too.Due to his powerful background, he looked down on everyone else. He didn’t respect women at all… Moreover, he had a relatively cruel personality. One could almost describe him as being a pervert.There was once when an owner of a bar offended a female internet celebrity he was dating. He directly hired

    Hannah Roland smiled politely at Lina Cohen. “Nice to meet you… Thank you in advance!”“No problem… Do let me know if there’s anything you don’t like about your makeup too,” Lina said.Hannah nodded. “Okay, sure…”“By the way… Do all the signers here get such good treatment? I’m surprised we’re even assigned our own makeup artists,” Hannah asked carefully as she wasn’t aware about things like these..However, Lina smiled without answering Hannah’s question directly. She held Hannah’s hand casually the next second, “Come here. I’ll start doing your makeup now…”Hannah nodded…Lina was a very professional makeup artist. She took an hour to finish Hannah’s makeup.An hour later, Hannah’s appearance transformed completely.Lina permed Hannah’s long, black hair into natural-looking curls.Hannah had intricate peach-colored makeup on her face which made her appear lively and youthful.Once Lina was done with Hannah’s makeup, she happily retrieved a long, white dress from a clothes

    Hannah Roland smiled without saying anything.***Hannah arrived at the bar where she worked at seven o’clock the next evening and walked into Rihanna Jensen’s office.Rihanna was going through paperwork in her office. When she saw Hannah, she immediately stood up and smiled at her. “Hannah, you’re here…”“Here’s the contract…” Rihanna said before pushing a thick stack of paper to the center of the table.Hannah quickly stepped forward and skimmed through the document. She then picked up a pen and signed it…Rihanna smiled upon seeing this. “Okay… I’ll transfer the money into your account tonight… I’ve told our big boss about your situation. He’s fine with my decision to pay your salary in advance. In fact, he even told me I did a good job…”“He said you can sing without worrying about a single thing… If you need any help in the future, do let us know…” Rihanna added.Hannah felt glad when she heard this, and became teary-eyed. “Thank you… Please thank our big boss for me too.
