“All right, Stan, I think you’re right. What if Xyla hates us when she finds out later?” Sharon Lindt asked.Stanley Batton frowned deeply, feeling mixed emotions. “I’d rather be hated by her than have her go through an emotional breakdown.”Xyla Quest was already devastated. If she found out about her father’s death, things would only worsen.The consequences might be dire if the emotional stress takes a toll on her.He wouldn’t allow that to happen, even if Xyla ended up hating him.He needed to protect his wife.Sharon instantly nodded in agreement. “All right, Stan, I’ll do as you say. What do we do next?”Stanley furrowed his brows. “Send his body to the morgue but don’t proceed with cremation just yet. Get an autopsy first.”His mother's eyes widened in surprise when she heard this. “Do you suspect there might be something behind his death?”He frowned again. “Just as a precaution.”It was better to investigate Jeremy Quest’s death thoroughly since it happened a little

Dark clouds dotted the skies, both in Atlantis and the nameless island on which Yaksha lived.Approximately five minutes later, Stanley Batton suddenly felt a gust of wind in the house, followed by a dense sandalwood scent.The odd occurrences caused Stanley to look around subconsciously, finding nothing out of place other than those.The strong wind continued for approximately five minutes before disappearing, regaining some warmth within the house again.Stanley was taken aback by what happened, feeling increasingly curious about what Yaksha was doing upstairs.Approximately half an hour later, a strong gust of wind appeared in the house again, carrying the same thick sandalwood scent with it.This time, the lights went out in the house and plunged everything into darkness.Stanley's eyes darted around, but he couldn’t see anything.The darkness lasted for five minutes before the lights in the house flickered on again, making everything peaceful and warm once more.It all fe

“They’re in a cave on Mount Barrow right now, but the demon fox isn’t with them,” Yaksha told him.Stanley Batton instantly felt relieved when he heard this, glad that his children were still alive when he thought they'd be dead.“Are they doing all right?”“I’m not sure about that, but regardless of whether they’re fine or not, we need to hurry and make our way there,” Yaksha said.“Can you go there in your current state?” Stanley asked worriedly.“I can. Don’t worry.”With that, Yaksha reached for the railing with difficulty and stood up, immediately coughing as soon as he did.Cough, cough, cough."If I don’t go with you now, you won’t be able to find your children.”“Thank you,” Stanley replied with a deep frown.“Why so courteous? I’m only repaying the kindness that I was shown. Besides, I owe the Quest family big time,” Yaksha replied.“I came here with my helicopter. I’ll fly you there right away,” Stanley suggested, but Yaksha shook his head.“We don’t need a helico

The two children were floating mid-air despite not being supported by any object.The tubes connected to their bodies were gone, but they seemed to be in an even better state now than other babies born after a full-term pregnancy.Their bodies emitted golden light, lighting up the entire space around them with their glow.Stanley Batton and Yaksha had to look away due to how bright the light was.Suddenly, the light coming from them disappeared before the babies slowly drifted over to the two men, prompting them to reach out and catch them subconsciously.At that moment, they both looked shocked.Yaksha stayed silent and slowly carried the baby girl as he sat on the ground before checking her pulse.He seemed even more shocked when he was done.“What is it?” Stanley asked.Yaksha quickly stood up. “This kid seems even healthier than full-term babies. She’s healthy and won’t need to be kept in an insulated case. She won’t even need any medication.“Not only that, but I also se

Their facial features also seemed much more vivid than before.No matter how Stanley Batton looked at them, they looked identical to him.Their skin was fair from head to toe.It seemed like they had inherited all of Xyla Quest’s positive traits.At that moment, the two of them were sound asleep, remaining quiet as they breathed evenly. The mere sight of them made Stanley’s heart melt.He also felt a stronger connection to them.It was sufficiently warm in the room, so the children only had a thin layer of white cloth wrapped around them.However, they were already sweating from the heat.Stanley carefully untucked their tiny hands from under the cloth, only to discover something odd.They both had identical and realistic-looking plum blossom-shaped birthmarks on the back of their left palms.They looked even more realistic than tattoos.He could vaguely see golden rays of light surrounding the blossoms, which then disappeared after a few seconds.'What was going on?'Stan

A vague smile appeared on Yaksha’s face after saying that.“So, does this mean the birthmarks only bring good fortune and nothing bad?” Stanley Batton asked.“Naturally. It's something good that only appears once every few thousand years,” Yaksha said.Hearing that, Stanley slowly began to feel relieved.“Here are some supplements I’ve prepared for Xyla. Take them,” the older man added, handing the black bag he was holding to him.“Thank you,” he said before accepting the bag. "Shall we leave now?”“Hold on. These too,” Yaksha said as he picked up the large bamboo basket he brought with him from up on the mountain earlier.He then retrieved another black paper bag from a drawer under the coffee table before carefully packing the root vegetables into the bag. “We’ll go and see Xyla now. Let’s get into the helicopter,” he told Stanley before he gingerly picked up the baby boy.He began to smile the moment he was in his arms. “The longer I look at these children, the more I like t

Yaksha didn’t answer Stanley Batton’s question directly. Instead, he changed the topic. “For your children, let’s name them Lynette Batton for the girl and Leon Batton for the boy.”Lynette Batton and Leon Batton.Stanley liked those names very much. "Okay."Yaksha beamed and then sped up his pace.Soon, they both arrived on the floor where Xyla Quest's ward was located with the two children.Right then, there were bodyguards everywhere. They seemed stunned when they saw the two men walking in with the missing babies.However, none of them dared to ask any questions and merely exchanged bewildered glances.The police were there not long ago to investigate. At the time, they still hadn’t found the children.So how did Stanley and an oddly attired masked man appear with the children suddenly?The nurses were equally surprised as they walked past the counter, prompting one of them to step forward to address Stanley respectfully.“Mr. Batton, please hurry up and bring the childre

People said that the end of science was the beginning of magic. Was that true?Were these children kidnapped by monsters?Did those monsters kidnap the children to heal them?The nurse felt deeply confused.Soon, all the nurses at the counter started talking amongst themselves, which was the only thing they dared to do.Stanley Batton had given specific instructions not to bring up anything in front of outsiders.Everyone in the country knew that offending Stanley Batton would result in a death sentence.After arriving in front of Xyla Quest’s ward, Stanley directly opened the door and walked in, eager to see his wife.He wanted to know how she was doing.Xyla was still sound asleep as the door opened.The sky was turning gray outside, signaling that nightfall was upon them.Sharon Lindt sat restlessly next to Xyla right then, so she was surprised to see her son and Yaksha entering with the children.She instantly sprang to her feet to greet them.All thoughts in her mind

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.
