‘If I didn’t come to the auction today, could all of this have been avoided?’ Xyla Quest wondered.
No…
After thinking carefully, it didn’t seem likely.
Her opponent was determined to kill her.
Even if it hadn’t happened tonight, it would have happened sometime in the future…
As long as Xyla was alive, and as long as her opponent didn’t give up, things like this could happen at any time and any location.
In fact, Xyla started feeling even more terrified…
She didn’t dare to imagine. What if something like this happened again? Would she go crazy?
Hence, Xyla needed to find this ‘master’ as soon as possible.
She had to bring an end to all this!
A few minutes later, the battle aircraft landed on flat grounds in front of their villa.
Stanley Batton carried Xyla in his arms and walked into the house.
The house was pitch black on the inside.
Stanley quickly pressed his back against the switch by the entrance.
Soon, the entire world became bright again.
Stanley changed into slippers. After that, he carried Xyla over to the couch.
He carefully put her down.
His movements were very gentle. It was as if he were wiping dust off an antique.
Xyla didn’t say a single word.
Instead, she leaned weakly against the couch. She looked like a zombie…
Xyla had an empty look in her eyes. She seemed utterly void of a soul.
Stanley instantly sat down next to her carefully. He held her hands with a serious look on his face. “Xyla… All of this really has nothing to do with you, alright? Stop blaming yourself…” He said softly.
