Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2157

Josh Batton carried Annabeth Cates and quickly ran down the escalator right when the people behind them had already recognized them, screaming as they chased after them. "Josh, don't leave! We love you!"

"We love you, Josh! Ahh! Wait, Josh!"

"Josh! Josh!"

"Josh Batton? It's Josh Batton!"

With screams erupting all around them, people on the first floor began to notice and started joining the crowd who ran after them.

Josh had encountered something like this countless times.

He remained calm and continued running out of the mall with Annabeth in his arms.

She could see the crowd charging toward them like a swarm of flies. They were about to be surrounded by a shockingly large number of people. "They're catching up! We have to hurry," she exclaimed, clutching Josh tightly.

In front of them, several people who had just walked through the entrance started to notice them as well and ran frantically toward them. Fortunately, there weren't as many people.

After looking around, he chose to confront them directly.

People were running haphazardly down from the second, third, and fourth floors, looking like zombies in movies.

Annabeth had witnessed situations like this numerous times before, so she wasn't exactly shocked.

She was only worried that they might get trapped within the crowd.

They were now surrounded by screams and cheers, as well as flashing lights.

A few minutes later, Josh managed to escape from the shopping mall

people were still pursuing them.

His strides were long, and he regularly exercised, so he had the stamina to outrun them all.

Even as the people behind him were already gasping for breath, Josh still seemed to be breathing normally. Other passersby joined the crowd when they saw this scene and heard his voice, creating a snowball effect.

It seemed as if Josh and Annabeth nearly caused a riot with everyone from the nearby streets running after them.

Worried that her husband might not be able to handle it physically, she asked, "Josh, how are you doing?" "Yeah, I'm fine. How about you?" Josh answered as he continued to run.

"I'm fine, too."

"Also, call me Honey," he insisted, managing to hold his breath steady and sounding like his usual self despite carrying her while holding all the clothes they bought and@unning for so long.

She nodded. "Okay, Honey."

Then, she noticed an alley nearby. "Go in

from Pere. I'm very familiar

the

path. We'll be able to get them once we go in."

Josh did as she instructed and turned into the alley, taking directions from her.

Ten minutes later, they ran into the backyard of a barbeque restaurant within the alley.
