Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 504

"You'll know when we get there," Stanley Batton said blandly as he continued to hold Xyla Quest's hand. Right then, Xyla felt extremely satisfied. Her heart felt full.

Nothing could compare to the feeling of him holding her hand tightly with their fingers intercrossed.

Stanley continued to drive and eventually brought Xyla to a manor in the suburbs with nobody else around.

Many peach blossom trees surrounded the manor, and there was no other house in sight.

A gust of gentle breeze blew, causing pink petals on the trees to fall off. It looked like pink snowflakes falling to the ground.

The air smelled sweet to the two of them.

The manor's design was of classic ancient European style, like a place the ancient European royalty lived in. There were lights everywhere inside and outside the estate, making the place appear almost like a palace in fairy tales.

Xyla knew this was the famous Rosales Manor in Atlantis, and it derived its name from the surrounding peach blossom trees.

Legend had it that a mysterious tycoon lived in the manor, and he had spent a lot of money to renovate it. However, nobody knew who this tycoon was.

Even if outsiders wanted to look at the manor, they could only do so from afar. None of them could ever get close because of the strict security inside and out of the manor.

Apart from this, there was also an important reason that a peach blossom forest surrounded the manor. Ordinary people would get lost in there and never be able to replace their way out.

It was designed by a maze expert who made it into the world's most complex forest maze.

"This is...? Yours?" Xyla asked.

Xyla was not too surprised by this fact.

With the Batton's family wealth, this manor was probably a drop in the ocean compared to their massive wealth.

"Yeah," Stanley said as he drove into the manor.

The gates opened automatically, and it closed on its own after their car made it inside.

The manor's courtyard was so large that it probably spanned over a thousand square meters...

There were plentiful peach blossom trees. At one glance, the manor was in such a beautiful place with fallen flowers all over the floor that it seemed like a different world of its own. After driving for a short distance, Stanley stopped the car and called Zack Cassidy on the phone. "Zack Cassidy... Begin now."

Xyla seemed dumbfounded and had no idea what this man was up to.

"What are you...? What are you doing?" Xyla couldn't suppress her curiosity.

However, Stanley didn't answer her and instead ruffled her hair.

Suddenly...

The sound of fireworks could be heard.

Right after that, the sky above the manor was filled with all sorts of fireworks in different colors. It was beautiful, just like in the films.

Rainbow-colored fireworks took to the sky, causing the courtyard to glimmer in flashes. The peach blossoms floating in the air seemed extraordinarily beautiful.

Xyla immediately felt joy in her heart. Like a child, she looked up at the sky in awe after quickly getting out of the car.

Colorful fireworks appeared in the sky. It was so pretty that Xyla couldn't look away.

Stanley quickly got out of the car too. He then stood next to her and held her hand before looking up at the sky with her. "Do you like it?"

Xyla nodded repeatedly. "Yeah, I do. It's very beautiful."

The glowing lights flickered on her face, making her appear unusually attractive.

None of the fireworks in the sky could compare to her beauty.

"Didn't you say you liked watching fireworks?" Stanley asked.

Xyla once told him that she enjoyed watching fireworks.

However, it was only a single mention. Yet, Stanley had remembered it by heart.

"But, it isn't New Year's today. It's also not a festive day. Why do you suddenly think of putting on a fireworks display?" Xyla asked.

"Who said it isn't a festive day?" Stanley smiled gently.

"Look at the time," he added.

Xyla immediately looked down at her watch.

It was twelve.
