About half an hour later, Jeremy Quest trembled as he stood up. He walked directly to Xyla Quest. “Please go home and pack up your aunt and Emily’s belongings. We’ll bury those things with the two of them tomorrow,” he said.After saying that, Jeremy looked at Stanley Batton. “Stan, please stay here and look after the guests.”“Okay,” Xyla replied. After that, Xyla walked out of the parlor with Stanley. She then left the funeral home with a group of bodyguards waiting outside.***Back at the Quest family’s place, Xyla led the servants into Emily’s room to sort out her personal belongings.They first took the jewelry on Emily’s dresser and put them into a leather case.After that, they went into Emily’s closet to continue sorting stuff out. They placed all of Emily’s clothes, some accessories, and her shoes into the leather case.“What is this? Ms. Xyla, come and have a look, quickly…” A female servant suddenly called out.Xyla happened to be holding a few items of clothing and

Xyla Quest immediately walked over to the injured female servant as quickly as she could. She half-kneeled on the ground and checked the woman’s right wrist.There was a very thin silver needle in the female servant’s wrist. Only half of the needle had pierced her flesh, and the remaining half was still exposed.The skin where the servant was stabbed had already turned black.Clearly, the needle contained poison…When the other servants saw this, they immediately gathered around. Each of them was shocked.Xyla then looked at the box the servant mentioned.It was a huge square box with a Country Z design of flower carvings on it. There was a combination lock on the box.Clearly, there was a mechanism on the box, and this servant had accidentally activated it. That was why the silver needle hurt her.Pfft—The next second, the female servant who was jabbed by the needle fell directly to the ground. She was bleeding from all seven of her orifices and had passed out.When Xyla sa

“Everyone, leave for now… Don’t touch anything inside this room. Leave it all to me,” Xyla Quest said.The servants were more than happy to hear this. As soon as they heard what Xyla said, they all ran outside.Once everyone had left, Xyla shifted her gaze back to the box in the drawer.Upon taking a closer look, she discovered a piece of red paper beneath the box.She knew there would be secrets regardless of whether it was the box before her eyes or the paper beneath the box.If something terrifying wasn’t hidden inside, Emily Quest definitely wouldn’t have used a box that contained such a mechanism.Although Xyla badly wanted to know what was inside, she didn’t dare to just touch it.Xyla could only suppress her curiosity and carefully push the drawer back inside.She’d have to look for someone professional to solve this mystery.Otherwise, she would end up like the female servant earlier.From the odd symbols on the wall to the strange box in front of her, Xyla realized m

Xyla Quest tried unlocking it with Emily Quest’s birth date, but it didn’t work at all.In the end, she tried using May Conner, Jeremy Quest, and Tom Sullivan’s birth dates.The first two attempts didn’t work, but Tom’s birth date successfully unlocked the box.Inside the box was a massive number of glass bottles with transparent liquid inside.The bottles were shaped like experimental test tubes, but the length was only half that of small-sized test tubes.There were also strange symbols on the bottle that Xyla had seen before.Xyla seriously had no idea what these were.Hence, she quickly put the stuff aside and continued to look through Emily’s closet.After that, Xyla didn’t discover anything suspicious.She then returned to Emily’s room to continue searching for anything suspicious.Likewise, she found nothing.After that, Xyla quickly made her way into May Conner’s room.The first thing she did was to open the drawers to May’s dressing table…In the top-most drawer o

“Honey… Please come back to the Quest family’s house. I discovered very strange things,” Xyla Quest said.“Hmm, okay…” Stanley Batton answered without hesitation.There were people walking past him all the time, but none of them shone brighter than him.After making the call, Xyla turned to look at a few servants who were doing house chores. “Come here…” She said.The servants quickly walked over to Xyla. They bowed their heads respectfully while waiting for instructions from Xyla.“You must all keep what happened at home today a secret. Nobody will say a word…” Xyla instructed earnestly.Someone very powerful might be hiding behind all this. There might also be a huge, shocking scheme.If what happened was known to outsiders, and this person found out, it might easily cause panic…After all, Xyla was out in the open, but that person was still hidden in the dark.“Yes!” the servants all answered simultaneously.“If I discover anyone spreading the news out, I will make her pay

Xyla Quest subconsciously glanced at the surveillance screen first.Indeed, it was Ron Batton who stood outside the door. He was wearing a set of white martial arts outfits with a walking stick in his hand.The handle part of the walking stick was made of a huge, white jade ball. It seemed low-profile but yet had a tinge of luxury to it.Xyla quickly opened the door and passed Ron a pair of slippers. “Grandpa, these slippers are for you.”“Thank you, Xyla…” Ron said gently before looking affectionately at Xyla and changing into the slippers.Once he was done, he casually closed the door behind him and resumed a somber expression on his face. “Where’s that Soul Devouring Potion you spoke of?”“Here…” Xyla naturally held Ron’s arm and led him over to a seat in front of the living room’s coffee table.As soon as they sat down, Xyla eagerly handed over the bottle she had checked out earlier to Ron.Stanley Batton didn’t say anything. Instead, with a grave expression on his face, he

“It looks like… They have always been the same. Anyway, they just treated me unusually badly,” Xyla Quest said.“I think it’s unlikely that the person controlled them at an early stage… Perhaps, some time down the road, they fell under this person’s control. Otherwise, Xyla wouldn’t have been able to stay alive until now.“But I still don’t get it. This person feels to me like a very powerful person. It should be very easy for him to take your life. Why did he go around in circles like this? Wouldn’t it be easier if he simply hypnotized you and made you commit suicide?” Ron Batton began to voice his concerns.The things Stanley Batton and Ron said were also what Xyla wanted to say.Endless question marks circled the three of their heads. All three of them felt very confused.There were many issues from a logical standpoint.“I’m afraid we’ll only be able to understand what exactly is going on after we find that person. The problem is that he is in the dark while we are in the lig

“Tonight, we can quietly move their corpses to another place while nobody else is around. We’ll replace their corpses with two other corpses. Those corpses will be cremated in their place tomorrow morning.“After that, we’ll secretly conduct autopsies on their bodies to find out the real cause of their deaths,” Xyla Quest said.She believed there would definitely be traces of what was done before.They would leave no stone unturned.“Hmm,” Stanley Batton murmured.“Oh, right. I also found these things in Emily’s room. Have a look. These are all weird symbols. Do you recognize them?” Xyla said before retrieving some of the Post-it notes with weird symbols written on them from the luggage next to her. She then handed the Post-it notes over to Ron Batton.After seeing the contents of the Post-it notes, Ron and Stanley both looked confused.Neither of them recognized what those symbols were.“I don’t recognize it… This looks like a kind of script. It looks like an ancient form of 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.
