Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1350

"That's great..." Stanley Batton affectionately ruffled Xyla Quest's hair again.

Every move he made was cautious. It was as if he was gently touching a priceless antique.

"When you went to stop the helicopter today... Did you end up replaceing nothing?" Xyla asked.

Today, when Stanley came back and saw her, he didn't bring this topic up. Xyla guessed that he didn't replace anything.

Ron Batton also quickly shifted his gaze to Stanley. Ron seemed curious.

"Not exactly... We managed to stop the helicopter... The people inside the helicopter were probably afraid of being captured and interrogated by us. Hence, they detonated the helicopter..." Stanley said truthfully.

When Xyla heard this, her eyes lit up. "So... So, is it possible that the 'master' was in the helicopter?" She asked.

However, Stanley shook his head. "Probably not..." He sounded very certain.

"Why is that?" Xyla looked confused. She had no idea why Stanley seemed so confident.

"When I first landed on the ground today, the other battle aircraft... Had gone after that white helicopter long ago. You saw that..." Stanley said carefully.

Xyla nodded.

"After speaking with you for a while, I went back into the air and caught up with the group. However, not long after taking to the sky, someone from the group informed me...

"That they saw someone jumping off the white helicopter with a parachute...

"To make sure that person remained alive, they sent a few people down with parachutes to look for him...

"Meanwhile, the others continued to go after the white helicopter...

"I feel that if the 'master' was truly on the helicopter, he must be the one who jumped off..." Stanley said carefully...

When Xyla heard this, she immediately frowned intensely.

Everything that she heard made her feel incomparably disappointed.

"In that case... Those people who jumped off in parachutes to look for the man... Have you received any news from them?" Xyla asked.

"Right now, they still haven't found anything..." Stanley said.

Xyla frowned again. "I hope they can replace this person..."

"I hope so too, but it feels like our chances are slim..." Stanley said.

"..." Xyla was quiet.

Noticing that Xyla's emotions had changed, Stanley carefully patted her on the shoulder. He consoled her just like how one comforted a child. "Don't worry. No matter what, I'll do my best to replace this person..." Xyla nodded gently, but she didn't have any energy left to speak.

Ron, who listened to all this nearby, also had an extremely sullen expression on his face. "Stan... You must replace this person as soon as possible... Have you still not found any clues regarding Emily and May's deaths, as well as the explosion incident during Dragon Group's seventieth anniversary? Can't we replace ways to locate the 'master'?"

Stanley shook his head. "Not yet," he said.

Once this topic was brought up, Stanley's mood turned gloomy as well.

Previously, he had thought that there was nothing he couldn't accomplish. However, ever since this 'master' appeared, he realized that he wasn't all that powerful.

Perhaps, there was always someone stronger than oneself.

However, regardless of what happened, Stanley was still confident that he could quickly replace this person.

Two days ago, he had secretly hired another group of people.

They were all top-notch detectives in the world.

"If it doesn't work, you'll have to hire more people... But you must make sure everything is done undercover," Ron said.

"Don't worry..." Stanley said.

Anyone hired by Stanley would naturally be trustworthy...

Thinking about that 'master' gave Ron a headache.

This person was like a huge mountain that loomed over their family members' heads.

They had no choice but to replace this person and eliminate him quickly.

That was the only way they could breathe at ease.

Ron let out another long sigh. "Xyla, from tomorrow on, I'll be making traditional medicine for you... It'll definitely speed up your recovery," he said.
