Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1852

Xyla Quest saw herself in silver armor. She was running for her life in the middle of nowhere with Sophie Kenwick, with countless soldiers chasing after them from behind.

Sophie, clad in a traditional robe, was running in front of Xyla, looking visibly nervous.

There was dust everywhere.

Those soldiers, who were carrying bows and arrows, were shouting for them to stop running, firing arrow after arrow at them.

In such a critical circumstance, Xyla gave her all to escape with Sophie. Until an arrow pierced through her neck, spilling blood, but yet she continued to run and tried to protect the girl.

That was where the flashback ended.

The vision made Xyla feel even more curious about her past, convinced that it was a vivid memory from her past life.

She was also sure that she was somehow related to Sophie, not only to the nine-tailed demon fox.

From her attire in that vision, she didn't seem like an ordinary woman but perhaps a female commander.

She also seemed to have died for Sophie's sake.

Was that the reason that god chose Sophie to protect her now?

Was it because she owed Xyla her life?

Alex sent Xyla an invitation to the game.

When Xyla saw this, she quickly gathered herself and accepted the invitation, joining the team.

Other than Alex, the other players on the team were the same ones from the game before.

When they saw her entering, the compliments started again, but she didn't pay any attention to them at all.

Occasionally, flashbacks of what she saw earlier would still appear in her mind.

Right then, Stanley came out of the bathroom wearing a pair of white pajamas, his hair still damp from his shower.

He still appeared noble despite his casual and careless way about him.

The thin fabric of his loose pajamas fluttered as he moved, making it glisten under the light.

Stanley slowly walked over to the

Then, he began washing some vegetables.

Xyla's game had not even begun, so to occupy her time, she logged into the streaming platform that Alex used to send him some treasure maps. She was always generous with her gifts.

She gave him a hundred treasure maps, resulting in multiple notifications of her action popping up all over the screen.

Alex's livestream channel promptly went wild.

"What on earth? You really are rich, Xyla!"

"A single treasure map is worth five thousand dollars. A hundred of them means 500,000?"

"Only Xyla can afford to do this."

Alex, who had been acting dignified while he was live-streaming, directly looked at the camera and grinned broadly when he saw the gifts. "Thank you, Boss!"

When he smiled, his front teeth were bare. He had instantly turned from an elegant assassin to an adorable kid, looking like her younger brother as he thanked her.

He didn't appear like his cold and arrogant self.
