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

The high-pitched sound instantly drew everyone’s attention, turning their heads to look behind them.It was the sound of the elevator moving, making them curious about the impending arrival.Approximately twenty minutes later, Stanley Batton appeared in front of everyone with three bodyguards dressed in black.He wore a long black wool coat, a black belt, a white shirt, black pants, and a pair of black leather shoes.His skin appeared unusually fair in the stark contrast between black and white, creating a strong visual effect.Despite the number of people in the underground tomb, none of them sparkled more brightly than he did.He could be standing in a shroud of darkness, still, everyone felt as if the entire world had lit up the moment he walked in.Stanley was even more eye-catching than the priceless bright pearls.He wore his usual aloof facial expression and people couldn’t help but feel intimidated.Just one look at him was enough to make many of them nervous.Althoug

“Comparing only makes one angry. I suddenly want to divorce my husband…”“Me too. My husband isn’t as rich or as attentive as Stanley. What’s the point of keeping him around?”“I’m truly envious… there’s no greater love than this.” “I’ve always known that he pampers his wife. Now that I’ve seen it in person, I know that he is indeed different.”The female experts couldn’t resist talking amongst themselves again, their voices overlapping and sounding chaotic.However, Xyla Quest could hear everything.Without betraying any emotion, she merely smiled and continued to look at Stanley Batton. “In that case, stay here with me.”“Okay,” Stanley replied.“We’re all hungry. Did you bring anything to eat? I was going to ask someone up there to buy some food,” Xyla said.“I did... someone will bring the food down later,” he stated.“Okay.”“You must be tired, Honey,” he said.Xyla shook her head. “Not at all. They’re the ones who are tired.” Her husband then looked around at every

When Xyla Quest heard the voice, a sensation of numbness settled over her head.The workers were also nervous as their eyes widened in terror.Stanley Batton frowned slightly before glancing around. He then turned toward the direction where the sound came from.Seeing this, Xyla subconsciously grabbed his hand tightly, mustering the courage to look in the same direction.The scream had come from the seventh room where they found the coffin.Xyla felt the numbness worsen.Could the sound have come from the corpse in the coffin?The others were also looking in the direction of the coffin, a tensed mood settling over them.With the entire world falling silent, it was as if they could even hear a pin drop.It was the kind of deadly silence that people were most afraid of.Xyla’s nerves had also gotten tense as she tightened her grip on her husband's hand.Under such circumstances, Stanley was her only source of security.It felt like she was holding onto a floating log to stop

It was so dark that nobody could even see their fingers in front of them.Everybody started talking at once... many even screamed out loud.Overwhelmed with fear once again, a strange force suddenly lifted Xyla Quest, her body flying forward rapidly.It happened so fast that she couldn’t react in time.She could not even cry for help, even if she wanted to.It felt as if there was a restriction in her throat that stopped her from making any sound.Her body floated in the air and moved forward as if she was in outer space where gravity no longer existed.The darkness intensified feelings of fear, and at this very moment, Xyla had never been more scared.Her heart was also beating faster and faster as if it would soon leap out of her chest.The strong sense of fear caused her mind to go blank.Right then, Xyla felt that she had lost complete control of her body, where a strange force was whirling her around like a spinning top in the air.And then, her body stopped mid-air.W

The girl before Xyla seemed to be around sixteen or seventeen.Her skin was fair and smooth. She was skinny, but with curves in all the right places.The girl had adorable bangs.Her facial features made her seem like she was from mixed heritage. There wasn’t a single flaw on her body.Xyla Quest subconsciously looked around her.She had a shadow, which meant she wasn't a ghost.She was human.Xyla took a deep breath and looked at her. “You… who are you? Are you that corpse?”The girl blinked. “Yes.”There was a youthfulness in her voice, and she sounded pleasant.At that moment, she appeared to be harmless. However, Xyla was still wary of her.Xyla frowned. “Did you do those things to me because… you’re angry at me? Is that it? Do you think I’ve taken away your possessions?“If that’s the case, I’m willing to return everything,” Xyla added.However, the girl shook her head and blinked again, highlighting her long eyelashes.Whenever she blinked, her eyelashes would flutt

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.
