"How about this? If you must go down there, let me come with you. I've studied things like these before, too. No matter what, I can't let you go down there on your own," Frederick Shaw insisted. "I must come with you too, Ms. Quest. We can't just watch while you put your life in danger," one bodyguard said.

"That's right, I'm coming too," another said. "If any danger should arise, I'll die on your behalf.”

"I want to come along, too. I also want to die in Ms. Quest's place," yet another bodyguard spoke up.

They had been working by her side all this while and Xyla's personality had won them over. Ensuring her safety and security had started as a job, but now it was out of their free will. Xyla was such a wonderful person and deserved to live a good life.

Soon, the other bodyguards also expressed their willingness to protect her with their lives.

Xyla chuckled helplessly despite being overcome with emotions. "All right, don't get all excited. I'll be fine, I promise."

"Things are so unpredictable down there. How can you make that promise?" Frederick asked.

"I insist, anyway. Nobody is going with me, and that is an order," Xyla said.

With that, Xyla entered the elevator, ignoring everyone's protests as she started descending.

Upon her departure, her bodyguards, Darren Green, the other miners, and Frederick were all extremely worried.

Mary Sullivan was the only one who seemed unconcerned.

Slowly retrieving a cigarette from Cain Hollander's pocket, she lit it up and leisurely sat on a rock nearby, crossing one leg over the other as she smoked and observed. Darren frowned deeply. "I wonder what would happen to Ms. Quest down there."

"This lady is too stubborn," Frederick sighed.

Mary took a deep puff at her

cigarette and began singing, "The weather is nice, there's a good view everywhere... Everything smells great, everything smells like

flowers..."

Her singing voice stood out starkly amidst the tense atmosphere, resulting in gaining the attention of everyone there. They seemed upset.

Sensing that, Cain hastily tugged at Mary's arm. "Stop singing, please agitated. Do to get punished again?"

os hindole again?" Content to

Mary sneered but kept quiet. After all, she still felt intimidated by Xyla's bodyguards.

Right after that, one of the bodyguards walked up to Mary, aiming his gun at her head.

Mary shuddered and looked at him. "Wh-what are you doing?"

He pressed the gun against her head firmly.

Shooking another word and I

are,

Mary instantly cowered in fear, feeling terrified at his behavior.

Seeing her reaction, he reluctantly put his gun away and returned to his former spot.

Mary started shivering violently as their distance widened.

Xyla took the elevator to the bottom of the mine.

Due to the explosions earlier, there were small shards of rocks everywhere.

There was a tunnel down there, a straight path that seemed endless to Xyla.

There were granite rocks on both sides, as well as dim torchlights.

The entire world seemed a little dark.
