Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) -
Chapter 1952
"What?" Xyla Quest asked in curiosity.
"Stand up and look outside," Sophie Kenwick immediately said.
"What's happening outside? Have the protesters left?"
They should be gone by now since the whole matter was resolved.
Xyla had turned the situation around.
Sophie immediately shook her head. "I knew it. You've been busy at work, so you have no idea what's happening. Hurry up, come and see."
Xyla glanced at her in confusion before standing up to walk over to the French windows.
Looking down, she saw many people gathered downstairs, chanting something.
Xyla was too far away to determine what they were shouting, let alone make sense of their unsynchronized voices.
After paying close attention for a long while, she finally managed to pick up part of what they were saying-
"Xyla is pretty and kind. Xyla, you're an angel. We're demons. Xyla, we're truly sorry."
They were saying the same things even though they were barely synchronized.
Xyla smiled as she listened, feeling entertained and curious by the chants.
'We're demons? What on earth is that?' Xyla grinned at the thought.
Sophie grabbed her by the arm. "Xyla, those who protested against you at first have all changed their minds. They all realized they were wrong, and they are apologizing to you right now. "They're still the same people, but their objective has changed," Sophie added.
As soon as she spoke, a large screen on the opposite building started displaying a huge poster of Xyla.
"Xyla is pretty and kind. Xyla, you're an angel. We're demons. Xyla, we're truly sorry." The words those people were shouting appeared below the poster.
After approximately ten seconds, the image on the large screen changed to another one of Xyla with the words, "I hope Xyla, our angel on earth, will live happily and peacefully for the rest of her life."
When Xyla saw the words, her heart exploded with warmth.
Advertising on such a large screen was expensive.
She didn't expect they would go to such lengths to apologize to her.
It was thoughtful of them, and it also felt genuine.
Xyla felt somewhat touched by the gesture.
The initial animosity she felt toward them because of their harassment had disappeared.
"Xyla," Sophie said, "these people are very thoughtful. They paid to advertise on that large screen outside. "Maybe they are trying to tell the world that they regret their behavior and how quickly their attitude changed?" She was holding onto Xyla's arm like a child with a look of excitement on her face as she looked at the screen. Xyla chuckled. Compared to Sophie, she was much calmer. "I guess so. Let's go."
After that,

"Where are we going, Xyla? Are you going downstairs to respond to these people?" Sophie asked as she followed Xyla.
Xyla didn't respond but continued to lead Sophie forward.
