Stanley Batton picked up the call earnestly. “Professor Caines…”
“Sorry to be calling you this late. When your assistant, Zack Cassidy, delivered the stuff to me today, I was occupied with something else and forgot about it…
“I only remembered half an hour ago. Hence, I quickly got up and did the verification test for you. When the results came out, I gave Zack a call…
“Zack told me that you weren’t asleep yet and that you just returned from a business trip. He asked me to contact you…
“Back when Zack delivered the stuff to me, I had a critical governmental task. I wanted to test your stuff for you after I was done…
“Who knew… After I was done, other governmental tasks came one after another. I… Uhm…” Professor Caines sounded like he was drowned in self-blame.
Stanley pinched his forehead exhaustedly. After that, he looked at Xyla Quest, who seemed all ears. He tapped on the loudspeaker button.
After that, he gently ruffled Xyla’s hair and looked at the phone. “So, what’s the result?” Stanley asked.
“It belongs to a white fox…” Professor Caines said.
Xyla immediately felt chills down her spine when she heard this.
It really was a white fox…
Could it be the white nine-tailed fox from her dreams?
White foxes like this had frequently been appearing in her life recently. It definitely wasn’t a coincidence…
If none of it was a coincidence…
All of this was just as she guessed before.
The scenes between herself and the white nine-tailed fox in her dreams could be memories from her past life…
The thing she owed something to in her past life could also likely be this white nine-tailed fox…
Now, the white nine-tailed fox was here for its debt recollection.
But if that was the case, why didn’t it come after Xyla?
Why did it go after a maid in their house?
Could this be a warning for Xyla?
