It was snowing in the suburbs. The sky and earth looked gray and dull.The hill that came into sight was very tall.All the plants on the hill had already wilted, and there was snow everywhere.It was a harsh yellow hue mixed with the cold white hue as far as the eyes could see. The entire hill looked lifeless.This hill was approximately a hundred meters tall. It was considered a tall hill in the hilly terrain of Atlantis.One could vaguely see a white building at its peak…Due to the great distance, Xyla Quest couldn’t see clearly what it was.After looking around, Xyla felt increasingly curious about Stanley’s objective of bringing her here.In the end, she still couldn’t suppress her curiosity. She slowly turned to look at Stanley’s face. “So… Why did you bring me here?”Could they be going to that building on the hill?Stanley smiled a little before gently ruffling her hair. “You’ll find out when we get there…”Xyla nodded obediently like an expensive white Persian cat.

The rocks were making Xyla Quest’s feet ache.On top of that, the path was slippery due to the snow. Each step had to be taken carefully. That was why Xyla felt exhausted.“But… I can still take it… I’m not that weak…” Xyla said.As soon as Xyla finished speaking, Stanley Batton bent over and picked her up.Stanley gently carried her through the wind and snow, step by step, as they headed up the hill.This affectionate scene made the bodyguards around them jealous.The single men instantly felt attacked.The bodyguards behind Xyla and Stanley were very far away.A few of them couldn’t resist discussing among themselves in hushed voices.“Mr. Batton truly adores his wife…”“Exactly. He treats her like the most fragile thing on earth.”“I suspect that he would give up his life if his wife asked for it.”“I only admire two people in this world. The first one is Mr. Batton. He had only taken over Dragon Group not too long ago, but he’s already brought it to greater heights with

It was a temple.From the outside, the place looked very run-down.It didn’t occupy a lot of space…It was at least half the size of an ordinary temple.There was a black signboard above the temple’s main entrance.The words ‘Terrarium Peak’ were written in capital fonts on the signboard.Right then, there was a monk sweeping snow by the entrance.He was a middle-aged man.He was dressed like a classic monk.The broom he held was the most ancient kind of broom…When the monk saw Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton, he immediately bowed to them.The monk was very thin. There was a fairy-like aura around him.Meanwhile, Xyla, Stanley, and the bodyguards quickly bowed to the monk.Soon, the monk approached them.“Why are you here?” he asked.“I have an appointment with Chief Cornelius Kroe… I need to discuss something with him…” Stanley said.“Please come with me…” The monk respectfully bowed to them again.After that, he led them into the temple…Xyla didn’t say anything.

After that, Cornelius Kroe made an invitational gesture. He then led Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton to the nearby table and chairs before sitting down…Once he’d sat down, he glanced at the young monk who had yet to leave. “Clarence… You may leave us…”The monk bowed respectfully to Cornelius before leaving and closing the door behind him.The temple itself was already hushed.After the door was closed, the silence was even more deafening…Sitting here made Xyla Quest feel much calmer.There was incense burning on the table.The light fragrance made one feel at ease.“Chief… I’m Stanley Batton, the man who made an appointment with you. I previously asked my assistant, Zack Cassidy, to contact you…” Stanley said respectfully.Although Stanley was respectful, his cold mannerism never left him…Anyone’s aura would pale in comparison to Stanley.They’d appear inferior to him.Cornelius took a deep look at the two of them…After that, he slowly closed his eyes.“I’ll have to te

However, Cornelius Kroe shook his head helplessly. “There are sins that can’t be washed away…”“You two should brace yourselves…” Cornelius said before disappearing.His disappearance was like a gust of wind.There wasn’t a single trace left behind…Xyla Quest was stunned by what she saw.What just happened?Was he not a human?Why was he able to disappear into thin air?How was he able to find out about their past lives by only touching their hands?Xyla had many questions for Cornelius, but the man wouldn’t allow her to ask any of them.Xyla felt greatly confused right then.She wanted to know what Cornelius saw after touching their hands.She also wanted to find out if Cornelius was human…If he wasn’t human, was he a god?Xyla had many questions on her mind. Her curiosity was killing her.Meanwhile, Stanley Batton frowned deeply next to her.Although he didn’t seem surprised, he had many questions on his mind…If what happened didn’t seem so real, he would’ve thoug

As for what this magic symbol was for, Xyla Quest had no idea.Xyla looked at the space before her, confused. “Chief Kroe… What’s this for?”However, she didn’t get any reply from Cornelius Kroe.Xyla knew that he wasn’t going to answer her.Stanley Batton slowly picked up the talisman and examined them repeatedly.However, he couldn’t understand what they were either.“I think these are probably good for us. Let’s just keep them with us,” Xyla said as she looked at Stanley.Stanley slowly nodded…After that, Xyla carefully folded the talisman and put them in her coat’s pocket.She then held Stanley’s hand and left the room with questions on her mind.Once the two had left the room, they reluctantly walked out of the temple with their bodyguards.They were clear about Cornelius’ thoughts.He had made up his mind not to tell them anything.Moreover, they also couldn’t resolve what they were about to encounter.Hence, they decided just to leave and not keep bugging him.Wh

Meanwhile, there was also an apparent change of expression in Stanley Batton’s eyes.Stanley frowned deeply before slowly shifting his gaze to one of the bodyguards who spoke earlier. “Did you just get up here?”The bodyguards immediately looked at each other…Each of them had looks in their eyes that seemed to question Stanley’s sanity.“We just got up here… It was only a minute ago… What’s the matter, Mr. Batton?” one of the bodyguards replied respectfully.Everyone couldn’t help but ponder.‘Didn’t we just get here? Had we been here for a long time?’ They all wondered.What was Stanley thinking?When Stanley and Xyla Quest heard this, they quickly looked at each other.The two of them decided not to press on.The answer was clear to them.Just as they had guessed, these bodyguards’ memories had been wiped away.They didn’t know they had actually arrived long ago.They also didn’t know that there was a temple on the hill.They had even entered the temple.“Let’s go…” S

Back when Xyla Quest’s father returned home with the painting, she did have her suspicions.For some reason, she felt that the emperor didn’t look like those on television or in other paintings…That emperor was unusually thin. It completely changed her mind about what an emperor should look like…Back then, her impression of emperors was plump-looking men.When Xyla thought of this, she shuddered and turned to look at Stanley Batton’s face. “I… I think he must be a god…”Stanley raised his brows. “Why are you so sure?” he asked as he looked at Xyla.Xyla immediately told Stanley about how her father acquired a painting of the emperor from a monk.“Back then, the monk said that the emperor entered his dream… After waking up, the monk drew the emperor’s portrait so that he wouldn’t forget it…“When I was a kid, I felt that the monk’s dream was ridiculous. I felt that the monk only made up the story my father told me…“But from the way things look now, this might have been the t

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.
