Xyla Quest saw a white nine-tailed fox strolling near her familyโs house.When a cold breeze blew against it, it slowly opened its mouth.It had extremely sharp fangs.The fangs looked completely different from those of ordinary foxes.It sent chills down Xylaโs spine.After the fox strolled around for a while, it turned into a golden ray of light.In the next second, it teleported into the Quest familyโs garden.Right then, the maid who was previously injured walked over.The fox pounced at the maid.After injuring the maidโs eye, it turned into a golden ray of light and disappeared.When it disappeared, it left behind quite a fair amount of fur.Those white fur was then dispersed by the northerly winds, leaving the maid behind on her own as she screamed in pain and fell to the ground.Xyla continued to use her special visionโฆHowever, she couldnโt see anything else.The scene of the maid falling to the ground was the last one.The golden lightโฆThe nine-tailed fox.T

โYaksha, why did you want to see me previously?โ Xyla Quest asked.Xyla recalled that she did personally call Yaksha to explain why she couldnโt meet him back then.She also recalled asking Yaksha why he asked her to come over.However, Yaksha hadnโt answered her then.He only told her to come over when she was free and that heโd speak to her in person.Xyla could sense that it was something significant.It was so crucial that Yaksha had to speak to her in person.โCome here and have a seatโฆโ Yaksha made an inviting gesture toward the coffee table.Xyla naturally held Stanley Battonโs hand. They then walked over to the coffee table and sat down.Soon, Yaksha sat from across Xyla.Yaksha first picked up two clean teacups and poured tea into them.He placed one teacup in front of Stanley and the other in front of Xyla.Immediately after that, Yaksha chuckled. โIโve invented a unique pill that can cure leukemia. A single pill would be enough to cure a patient of various types

โYouโre the kindest,โ Xyla Quest said with a chuckle.โLetโs stop complimenting each otherโฆ Oh, right. You called to say there was something else you wanted to discuss. What was it?โ Yaksha asked.Xyla proceeded to tell Yaksha about all her recent dreams and what happened to her maid at homeโฆShe also told Yaksha everything about what she saw with her X-ray vision.Yakshaโs gaze instantly became stern when he heard these thingsโฆHe fell silent.He seemed to be deep in thought.โYakshaโฆ Iโm very certain the thing that harmed my maid was the nine-tailed fox demon from my dreamsโฆโI think it might be my creditor from my past life, right? I know you canโt reveal too much, or it might affect your right to cultivate toward becoming a god.โBut I really want to know how to deal with it right now. Must I wait for it to come to us as you said before?โWouldnโt we be sitting ducks?โ Xyla asked.โWait for it. Once it shows up, you and Stanley will naturally find a way to deal with itโฆ

While looking at the snowy scenery, the look in Yakshaโs eyes became even more melancholicโฆThe look of concern became increasingly apparent.After taking a deep breath, he slowly exhaled.He then looked at the snowing sky and murmured to himself, โI hope the two of you can get through itโฆโIf you can get through it, things will get betterโฆโIf you canโtโฆโ Yaksha became silent all of a sudden.A look of concern flashed in his eyes.After a minute, he still seemed worried.Yaksha let out a long sigh before recollecting himself and returning to the coffee table.He brewed a new pot of tea.After that, he silently waited for Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton.Once Xyla and Stanley had retrieved the items upstairs, they returned to Yaksha while holding each otherโs hand.Stanley was the one carrying all the stuff.He put the items on the coffee table. After that, he and Xyla sat in their original seats.โThese are all for youโฆ Keep themโฆ Apart from the formula for leukemia medici

The situation was obvious.Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton were destined for a tough road aheadโฆXyla frowned slightly while gently resting her head against Stanleyโs shoulder. She silently prayed in her heartโฆShe prayed for this snowstorm to be over soon.She prayed that the two of them would be able to repay what they owed soonโฆOutside, it was still snowing heavily.The entire world seemed chaotic looking out of the helicopter, just like Xylaโs mood right then.Xyla hoped that no matter how bad things turned out, they would eventually come to an end like the snow.Their creditor was so powerfulโฆIt wasnโt a human.Instead, it was a nine-tailed demon foxโฆMoreover, it seemed to be a mighty nine-tailed demon fox.If it were a human, Xyla wouldnโt be afraid no matter how much more powerful than her it wasโฆUnfortunately, it wasnโt a human.Xyla was an ordinary human.How would she fight against a nine-tailed demon fox?Never mind that it had such strong powers.

These people all knew in their hearts that Stanley Batton was like their master, and Xyla Quest was like their masterโs master.Stanley lowered his voice again. โHead homeโฆโ he answered coldly.The pilot instantly flew the helicopter in a different direction.A few minutes later, the helicopter landed in front of Stanley and Xylaโs house.The bodyguards got out of the helicopter first.As Xyla was asleep, everyone moved as quietly as they could.Although there were a hundred of them moving at the same time, it was completely silent.Not a single sound could be heard.After the bodyguards had gotten out of the helicopter, one of them quietly opened the cabin door for Stanley.Stanley affectionately caressed Xylaโs face before carrying her off the helicopter.The snow continued to fall.The bodyguard next to Stanley held an umbrella up behind him.Step by step, Stanley slowly carried Xyla through the snow and into their warm house.Inside, the temperature was still as high a

After putting on the lids, Stanley Batton carefully placed the clay pots on the stove and started on the fireโฆHis method of making clay pot rice was different from other people.However, his was the version Xyla Quest liked the mostโฆStanley didnโt laze around while the rice was being cooked.Instead, he cleaned some of Xylaโs favorite ingredients and made a few dishes, including braised lobsters, steamed fish, and oyster soup with tofu.By the time he was done making these dishes, the rice was just about done.Most of the water in the pot had nearly dried up.Stanly slowly lifted both lids and added a sunny side-up egg into each of them, as well as some broccoli.Finally, he drizzled some of his homemade sauce into the clay pots before putting on the lids.The strong aroma filled the kitchen.The finished dishes were placed on the right side of the stove. They looked and smelled appetizing.At this moment, Stanley looked less like his usual dominant self when he was at wor

โHmmโฆ A littleโฆโ Xyla Quest said.Stanley Batton shook his head helplessly. โWhat should I do with you?โXyla thought deeply for a few seconds before cackling like a child. โSpoil me.โStanley also thought deeply for a few seconds. He then nodded earnestly. โYes, that makes senseโฆโSeeing how serious he looked, Xyla couldnโt resist laughing.Xyla realized that sheโd been acting more and more like a child ever since she and Stanley started living together.In the beginning, she still behaved like a mature wife.However, she no longer behaved like a wife at all.She was becoming increasingly lazier.She also became increasingly dependent on Stanley in daily life.Moreover, she did it without feeling an ounce of guilt.In the past, when Stanley did everything, and she did nothing, she would still feel guilty.However, even if Stanley did everything and helped wash her hands now, she no longer felt that wayโฆIn fact, she felt like she deserved it.She acted just like a child

Xyla quickly reached for Hannahโs hand. โIs that right? Hannah, youโre amazingโฆ! Youโre practically on par with Leon!โHannah laughed, slightly embarrassed. โNot at all.โโOh, cut it out. If you hadnโt helped me, how could I have improved so quickly?โ Leon chuckled.โI guess Iโve lived up to my promise.โ 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. โYes, Hannahโs very capable. Sheโs our family pride.โHannah laughed. โI was lucky to be accepted by your family.โIn 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

โHannah, Iโve taken the first step for you. Are you willing to walk by my side for the rest of our lives?โ Leon asked, serious.โYes, I amโฆโ Hannah answered without missing a beat.โIโll protect you. From now on, you donโt have to worry about a single thing.โ With that, Leon placed both hands on Hannahโs face and kissed her on the lips.The moment their lips touched, everything felt surrealโฆHannah could feel pink, light bubbles floating all around her. It felt as if all the flowers in the world were blossoming at once.In Hannahโs 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 nowโฆ 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, Leonโs 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, Hannahโs 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 wasnโt a dream. It was real!Hannah felt even more dumbfoundedโฆThis meant Leon actually liked her! He was confessing to her, wasnโt 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 couldnโt utter a single word.Her heartbeat increased rapidly, and her entire body began to shake.

Immediately after, the men in black pulled out guns from their pockets, which they aimed at Raymondโs head.Raymond panicked instantly, going pale.He subconsciously retreated a step back. โWho are you? Donโt you know what youโre doing is illegal?โLeon sneered. โYou donโt deserve to know my name. In this city, I am the law.โLeonโs 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.โMr. Batton, do I shoot him in the head?โ One of the men dressed in black asked.โMr. Batton? Are you Stanley Battonโs son?!โ 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.โHow dare you address our president by name?!โ Another man in black leveled Raymond with a chilling glare.Suffice to say, Raymond was terrif

Terrible pain ached at every part of Hannahโs 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, โMr. Grayโฆ What is the meaning of this?โ โWhatโs the meaning of this? Ha! Donโt you know whatโs good for you? You dumb b*tchโฆ Youโre lucky that I set my sights on you!โโHow dare you refuse my feelings! Not just that, but you even made up a story to deceive me!โโEven when you saw me, you tried to trick me again!โโDo you think Iโm stupid? That I canโt think?

Although the sun had long sunk beneath the horizons and darkness had set in, the lively city wasnโt about to be silent anytime soon. Hannah felt deeply unsettled, so much that she didnโt 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 Grayโฆ 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 didnโt 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. โMs. 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 todayโฆโโHe lost his temper and claimed heโd destroy our bar if Hannah refuses to sing another songโฆโ 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 werenโt 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 didnโt respect women at allโฆ 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 without saying anything.***Hannah arrived at the bar where she worked at seven oโclock the next evening and walked into Rihanna Jensenโs office.Rihanna was going through paperwork in her office. When she saw Hannah, she immediately stood up and smiled at her. โHannah, youโre hereโฆโโHereโs the contractโฆโ Rihanna said before pushing a thick stack of paper to the center of the table.Hannah quickly stepped forward and skimmed through the document.
