Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1777

Stanley Batton looked serious and stern as he drove his Bugatti Veyron fast. When he saw his Rolls-Royce and Xyla Quest, who was inside, he immediately stopped the car in front of the Rolls-Royce in a cool

drifting motion.

After that, the two of them got out of their cars simultaneously...

When Xyla got out, she ignored everything else and rushed over to Stanley before hugging him tightly.

Although Xyla was 167 centimeters tall, she still looked tiny in front of Stanley.

Stanley towered over her.

In his arms, Xyla looked petite.

Xyla was very glad that Stanley seemed alright.

Only the heavens knew how many terrible things Xyla had imagined on the way to him.

At this moment, Xyla wished her body could fuse with Stanley to become one so that they'd never have to part.

"I'm so glad you're fine... You had no idea how I tried to call you on your phone. I even called the office and Zack... None of my calls went through... I was worried sick. I thought the nine-tailed fox went to harm you..." Xyla was all choked up.

Immediately after that, Xyla told Stanley about everything that happened before their call was cut off in a hushed voice.

None of the drivers or bodyguards got out of their cars. Hence, she could speak freely.

Although it was cold outside, Stanley's body felt warm.

Xyla didn't feel cold at all.

Stanley frowned deeply. He slowly unbuttoned his coat and wrapped it around Xyla's body.

He created a haven for Xyla

Suddenly, all the cold wind was blocked out...

Xyla felt even warmer.

The tip of her nose touched Stanley's white shirt.

She could smell a faint oud wood scent on his shirt, and it made her feel extremely comfortable.

Xyla loved Stanley a lot. She couldn't live without him.

After wrapping her tightly in his coat, Stanley hugged her tightly.

He then placed his chin above her head. "Our call was suddenly cut off. I quickly tried to call you back, but my call didn't go through...

"I tried countless times after that, and it still didn't work. I felt something was wrong... I suspected the nine-tailed fox was up to something.

"I then called the bodyguards at home, but I found out none of their phones could be reached.

"I tried to call the landline at home, but it also didn't work. By then, I felt something was even more amiss.

"After that, Trushed out of the office

and started driving home... On the

way back, I tried calling you.

However, I realized my phone couldn't make any calls..." Stanley said.

Xyla took a deep breath after she heard this. "The nine-tailed fox was behind this. I don't know what's its objective in doing this...

"I suspect it was also behind the

terrible weather on my way over. I was very worried when I couldn't call you earlier. I was afraid the demon fox took you away... That's why silently told it to come at me if it wanted revenge.

"While doing that, the weather suddenly changed... I believe the only explanation is that he got angry because of the things I said, but I don't know why he'd be angry..." Xyla explained carefully.

Xyla felt a great headache when she talked about the nine-tailed fox.

Stanley frowned deeply and hugged her tightly again. "Don't be afraid. No matter what happens, I'll protect you by your side," he said.

"Xyla, come with me somewhere later..." Stanley said.

"Where is it?" Xyla asked.

"You'll replace out when we get there..." Stanley said.

Xyla didn't ask further. She merely nodded obediently.
