Revenge of the Hideous Lady Chapter 1780
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
