Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1780

It was snowing in the suburbs. The sky and earth looked gray and dull.

The hill that came into sight was very tall.

All the plants on the hill had already wilted, and there was snow everywhere.

It was a harsh yellow hue mixed with the cold white hue as far as the eyes could see. The entire hill looked lifeless.

This hill was approximately a hundred meters tall. It was considered a tall hill in the hilly terrain of Atlantis.

One could vaguely see a white building at its peak...

Due to the great distance, Xyla Quest couldn't see clearly what it was.

After looking around, Xyla felt increasingly curious about Stanley's objective of bringing her here.

In the end, she still couldn't suppress her curiosity. She slowly turned to look at Stanley's face. "So... Why did you bring me here?"

Could they be going to that building on the hill?

Stanley smiled a little before gently ruffling her hair. "You'll replace out when we get there..."

Xyla nodded obediently like an expensive white Persian cat.

When the sunlight shone upon her face, her fair skin seemed to glow.

Stanley got out of the car first. He then opened the door for Xyla like a gentleman.

Immediately after that, the bodyguards in the cars also quickly got out. They walked behind the two of them in two neat rows...

This was a very grand scene.

Stanley gently extended his hand to Xyla. "Come with me..."

Xyla slowly put her hand in Stanley's hand. She then followed him up the hill...

The bodyguards followed closely behind them.

They were equally curious about Stanley's objective for this trip...

The path leading up the hill was a difficult one.

There were rocks, mud slabs, and snow beneath their feet.

Xyla was wearing a pair of short, white boots.

After only taking a few steps, her boots were already covered in a lot of dust.

However, she didn't care.

Stanley held her hand tightly throughout the journey. He was afraid that she might slip.

The bodyguards were equally attentive.

"Are you going to sell me off?"

"Would I?" Stanley asked.

Xyla thought deeply for a few seconds. "Who'd know?"

Stanley smiled again. There was an ble gentleness in his eyes. would sooner sell myself

before I sell you...

"Besides, our family can still get don't need to sell myself yet...".

Stanley also started joking

The bodyguards behind Stanley couldn't help but look at each other after hearing what he said.

How could Stanley say that?

Was he merely getting by?

If the Batton's way of life was merely getting by, what about all these other people?

Xyla's smile widened. "That's true..."

"Even if getting by becomes hard... I won't allow you to sell yourself..." Stanley said. "Alright, as you wish..." Xyla said.

Stanley affectionately ruffled Xyla's hair. "Are you tired? Hmm?" he asked gently. "Yeah, a little bit. These hilly roads aren't easy at all..." Xyla said.

There were huge rocks and mud slabs everywhere throughout the journey...
