Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1822

When Xyla Quest heard the voice, a sensation of numbness settled over her head.

The workers were also nervous as their eyes widened in terror.

Stanley Batton frowned slightly before glancing around. He then turned toward the direction where the sound came from.

Seeing this, Xyla subconsciously grabbed his hand tightly, mustering the courage to look in the same direction.

The scream had come from the seventh room where they found the coffin.

Xyla felt the numbness worsen.

Could the sound have come from the corpse in the coffin?

The others were also looking in the direction of the coffin, a tensed mood settling over them.

With the entire world falling silent, it was as if they could even hear a pin drop.

It was the kind of deadly silence that people were most afraid of.

Xyla's nerves had also gotten tense as she tightened her grip on her husband's hand.

Under such circumstances, Stanley was her only source of security.

It felt like she was holding onto a floating log to stop herself from drowning.

Right then, all she wanted was to hold onto this floating log tightly, not letting go no matter what.

Stanley slowly gazed at her face. At that moment, his facial expression softened.

"Ahh!"

A woman's scream came again, even louder than before.

It felt colder.

The temperature in the underground palace seemed to have dropped by several degrees.

Everyone felt chills all over their bodies.

Meanwhile, Xyla already had goosebumps from head to toe.

However, Stanley still seemed calm. It was as if he wasn't affected at all.

He was able to remain calm even when things went south.

He touched Xyla's face. "Don't be afraid, I'm here," he assured her softly. Danger laid in wait.

Although Xyla was feeling nervous,

knowing

t they might elect

challenging obstacle ahead, she felt

secure for some reason.

It was comforting to know that Stanley told her not to be afraid and that he was there for her.

Xyla slowly nodded. "I wonder if the woman in the coffin is upset."

Stanley continued to stroke her face affectionately. "Hmm, I'll have a look," he said calmly.

"I'll come with you." Xyla couldn't possibly let Stanley take on any risk on his own.

"You're pregnant. I don't want you to tag along and risk getting hurt," Stanley responded.

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold expression returned to his face. He glanced at the bodyguards and soldiers behind him. "Ten of you, come with me to have a look," he ordered.

"Ahh!"

A pitiful sound came from the coffin again once he issued the order.

The people behind them shivered uncontrollably.

The bodyguards who came with Stanley exchanged glances and then proceeded to walk up to Stanley with a few other soldiers. Everyone stood neatly in a row.

Stanley continued to look at Xyla tenderly. "We'll go and check it out. Leave with the rest, okay?"

No matter what happened, Stanley only wanted himself and his companions to deal with it.

However, Xyla grabbed his hand tightly. "No way, I'm coming with you. Dangerous or not, I have to get through it with you."

After she told him that, a golden ray

In the next second, the entire world suddenly turned dark.
