'If I didn't come to the auction today, could all of this have been avoided?' Xyla Quest wondered.

No...

After thinking carefully, it didn't seem likely.

Her opponent was determined to kill her.

Even if it hadn't happened tonight, it would have happened sometime in the future...

As long as Xyla was alive, and as long as her opponent didn't give up, things like this could happen at any time and any location.

In fact, Xyla started feeling even more terrified...

She didn't dare to imagine. What if something like this happened again? Would she go crazy?

Hence, Xyla needed to replace this 'master' as soon as possible.

She had to bring an end to all this!

A few minutes later, the battle aircraft landed on flat grounds in front of their villa.

Stanley Batton carried Xyla in his arms and walked into the house.

The house was pitch black on the inside.

Stanley quickly pressed his back against the switch by the entrance.

Soon, the entire world became bright again.

Stanley changed into slippers. After that, he carried Xyla over to the couch.

He carefully put her down.

His movements were very gentle. It was as if he were wiping dust off an antique.

Xyla didn't say a single word.

Instead, she leaned weakly against the couch. She looked like a zombie...

Xyla had an empty look in her eyes. She seemed utterly void of a soul.

Stanley instantly sat down next to her carefully. He held her hands with a serious look on his face. "Xyla... All of this really has nothing to do with you, alright? Stop blaming yourself..." He said softly. "But all of this happened because of me... How could I pretend as if nothing happened?" The more Xyla said, the more terrible she felt. She was on the brink of an emotional breakdown... "This is all that murderer's fault. It's not your fault. He's a lunatic..." Stanley said again.

The longer he saw Xyla like this, the more he hated that murderer.

If Stanley could, he would tear that person into pieces right away.

Xyla closed her eyes weakly and let out a long sigh. "I know... This is all his fault. However, I replace it hard not to blame myself... Honey."

"I understand what you're saying... But Xyla... Being sad like this doesn't help with anything..." Stanley said.

"I know... Honey, can we make it up to all those people who were involved?" Xyla asked.

"Okay... We'll make it up to them in the way you like... Whatever you want, alright?" Stanley said.

"Okay..." Xyla nodded weakly.

"Xyla... As long as you can be happy again, I'm willing to do anything," Stanley added.

Xyla felt endlessly touched. An overwhelming sensation spread in her chest.

Her tears streamed down her face uncontrollably once again.

A beautiful woman like Xyla still looked stunning even when she cried.

The tip of her nose turned red when she cried. She was almost like an innocent rabbit.

Her moist pupils seemed to sparkle like stars. It was pitiful for Stanley to look at.

"Honey... Don't worry about me. Go up and take a shower. Be careful not to catch a cold," Xyla said concernedly.

"I'll accompany you for a while... I'm worried about you," Stanley said.

"I'm fine... I'll be alright after calming down on my own. Go on upstairs," Xyla said.

"No, I'll accompany you..." Stanley said.

Those three words ignited a warm sensation deep in Xyla's heart once more.

There was nothing more touching than those three words, 'I'll accompany you', when someone was feeling helpless. Beep, beep, beep-

Right then, both their phones started ringing at the same time.
