Mary Sullivan suddenly felt even more flustered when she caught sight of Xyla Quest’s gaze on her.Mary instantly frowned and stood up, staring at Bodyguard C. “What? When did I say those things? You must have heard wrongly.”“What’s the matter? You dared to say those things, but you’re not brave enough to admit it?” the bodyguard asked.“I heard her too, loud and clear. Mary, chop your head off,” another Bodyguard D said.Xyla didn’t interrupt and allowed her bodyguards to criticize Mary, not feeling sympathetic to her in the slightest.Xyla had never been a saint. There was no reason to feel sorry for someone who hurt her before and wished she was dead.Mary was speechless, feeling her face warming at this awkward situation.Mary felt very unsettled.After taking a deep breath, she started stammering. “About that, I-I… I was wrong, okay? Besides, it was a private conversation between Cain and me. He is the only one who gets to say if he wants my head off or not.”Cain prompt

Frederick Shaw’s phone number and WeChat ID were on the name card as well.Xyla Quest accepted the name card with both hands. “Alright. I’ll add your contact once I get back. If anything comes up, I’ll reach out to you, so I hope I won’t be a nuisance.”“Certainly not,” Frederick replied.With that, Frederick left without saying anything else.Xyla watched him leave before taking her phone out and calling Stanley Batton.On the other end of the call, Stanley was having a meeting in a huge conference room, surrounded by all the top-level executives of the company.Everyone acted in a businesslike manner with serious expressions on their faces.Right then, the head of the sales department was giving an update on the department’s performance and the plan for the next quarter.Stanley spun his gold-plated, customized pen around with his right hand as he listened to the update.His fingers were long and fair, looking distinguished and attractive. His movements perfectly showcased

With his wife, Xyla Quest, Stanley Batton behaved in a charming manner.However, in front of his staff, he could be incredibly aloof.Despite his distant stance, he was still strikingly handsome.Upon walking out of the conference room, Stanley leaned lazily against the wall and waited for Xyla to speak with a solemn expression on his face.Xyla described everything she saw down at the mines in detail over the phone.She also mentioned that she would send him pictures, even though he could already imagine the scenes in his mind as she described them in great detail.However, the more he listened, the colder his facial expression became.In the end, he looked like he was about to throw a tantrum.Stanley remained silent while Xyla talked non-stop.After she finished, she realized he was not replying to her. “Darling? Are you listening?” Xyla asked in confusion.Xyla was currently leaning against a pine tree halfway up the mountain with nobody else around so she could speak f

“Okay,” Xyla Quest said.“Be a good girl, and I’d give you my life,” Stanley Batton said.Xyla nodded repeatedly. Her eyes turned even redder. “All right, I’ll be a good girl. Darling, I called you because I have another request.”A curious look appeared in Stanley’s eyes. “Do you need my help to bring men over to guard the underground palace?”He could figure out what his wife had in mind even before she said it.“Yes, that’s it.”“That won’t be a problem. I’ll get the president to send you an army,” Stanley agreed as if sending an army was as simple as wearing clothes or having a meal.‘That’s an entire army.’ Xyla thought to herself.There’d be at least ten thousand troops.Moreover, this wasn’t something an ordinary person could accomplish.“Won’t that be too many?” Xyla asked.“Not at all… leave it to me,” he assured her. “You’ll probably also need professional logistics assistance, too?” “Yeah,” Xyla answered.“I’ll get you a team of experts,” Stanley replied calmly

Approximately an hour later, an entire army of Blue Mountain City arrived at the mine where Xyla was by military helicopters, attracting a lot of attention.‘#Military helicopters in Blue Mountain City#’ began trending on the number one spot on the list of hot topics.Netizens began discussing it excitedly.“Do you guys know what happened? Many military helicopters appeared in Blue Mountain City today. I heard they are all from the City's military zone…”“D*mn. So many military helicopters appeared suddenly. Did something major happen?”“I heard the helicopters are all full of soldiers. It’s an entire army.”“D*mn, is there war?”“It must be something important. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many soldiers involved.”“I agree with what most of you say. Something major must have happened as the entire army is involved.”Meanwhile, Xyla Quest had no clue all this was happening.Once the military arrived, they quickly formed into groups and marched up to Xyla in an organized ma

Xyla Quest rather enjoyed the spectacle.Right then, another white helicopter landed not too far away from her, where up to a hundred men and women of various ages disembarked.They approached Xyla in an organized manner.A middle-aged man, who wore a white down coat over black overalls, led the team.He immediately extended a hand toward Xyla as soon as he saw her. “It's nice to meet you, Ms. Quest. I’m Brian Comb.”Xyla recognized Brian Comb as a renowned archeologist.“This is my team of archeologists,” Brian said, then proceeded to introduce Xyla to each of his team members.She could recognize each of their names as experienced professionals in the field.Xyla was very grateful to the President for sending these experts over.After the introductions, Brian could no longer hide his excitement anymore. “Ms. Quest, can we go down and have a look now? The President told me that you’ve found a lot of rare treasures from ancient times, and I would like to have a look.”Discove

The other experts who had SLR cameras around their necks also started taking pictures, gasping and gawking at each discovery as they did so.“Oh my god, I’m truly shocked! Is this heaven?”“I have never seen so many bright pearls before… Oh my god.”“I wonder who owned this tomb and what kind of noblewomen they were.”“Any random object in this place would be priceless!”Compared to the others, Xyla wasn’t as excited since she had already seen them twice, but she still felt happy on the inside.After taking her phone out for another round of pictures, Xyla directly set her sight on a bright pearl, activating her penetrating vision.Soon, she was able to witness the pearl-making process.Then, she used it on other objects and was also able to see all their processes.From the outfits worn by the craftsmen and various creation processes of the objects she saw, these were all from the end of the second century.Xyla then selectively used her vision on other things and made the s

“That’s right, you’re pretty and capable. Indeed, you’re a model housewife from the Batton family.”“No wonder Mr. Batton likes you. You really are amazing.”The other archeologists also couldn’t resist complimenting Xyla Quest.They held great respect for her.Xyla, who was used to being admired and worshipped by everyone, didn’t feel particularly affected by all this attention.“You’re all too kind," she responded, still seeming poised and collected. All right, let’s figure out how to move these things.”“We have boxes specifically for the job on the helicopters. Let’s categorize the items and put similar objects in each box,” Brian suggested.“All right, let’s do that,” Xyla agreed.“I’ll send someone to get the boxes,” Brian said before issuing instructions to some of his team members, who reluctantly left shortly after.Meanwhile, Xyla remained at the site to categorize the antiques along with the other experts. There were countless antique items there that the moving r

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.
