Zack Cassidy awkwardly glanced at the two of them before directly backing out of the office with a glass of orange juice in his hand.After taking a deep breath, Zack knocked on the door.Stanley Batton didn’t mind what happened earlier at all.He calmly adjusted his black coat before looking at the door. “Come in…”Meanwhile, Xyla Quest slowly sat down next to Stanley.When other people were around, Xyla would be sure to salvage his reputation.Zack awkwardly took a deep breath before approaching them with the glass of orange juice that Xyla wanted.He put the glass of orange juice down. “Mr. Batton, here’s the orange juice you wanted.”With that, he bowed respectfully to Stanley and Xyla. He then turned around and left right away.Zack hadn’t even closed the door, but Stanley had already pulled Xyla onto his lap. “Don’t be angry… I’ll carry it with me, okay? You’re not allowed to divorce me.”When Zack heard the word ‘divorce’, he stopped walking immediately, tempted to eav

Xyla Quest’s voice was gentle and soft, her pitch remaining low.Even so, the bald man and his subordinates were still terrified.Darren Green walked up to Xyla with a grim expression on his face. “Here’s what happened, Ms. Quest. These people were hunting here when they accidentally injured one of our miners.“At the time, that miner was working above the well. This bald guy suddenly opened fire in his direction. Luckily, the bullet didn’t hit the miner’s body, but it did hit the rock next to his feet.“Unfortunately, the rock was blasted apart by the bullet. Fragments of it hit and injured the miner’s face on the right,” Darren explained in detail.“After the fact, I asked this fellow why he opened fire in a mining area. He said he saw a rabbit running past the miner. He wanted to shoot the rabbit, and that’s why he opened fire, but he didn’t expect to miss and hit the rock instead.“Ms. Quest, do you think what he did even made sense? If he knew he had poor aim, why would he s

Judging from how luxurious the ancient tomb looked, Xyla Quest could also ascertain that the owner of the tomb was once a powerful member of the royal family during ancient times.At the very least, she would’ve been a princess, a queen, or a queen mother.Xyla felt both stunned and bewildered by the luxurious view before her eyes.She never would’ve thought that such a priceless ancient tomb might have been hidden underneath her jade mine.Xyla was genuinely surprised today.After checking out the entire ancient tomb, Xyla quickly retracted her gaze. She then slowly turned around and looked at Frederick.“I would like to continue digging. What if there’s something valuable? Ore veins cannot be assessed using common logic and knowledge. Anything can be discovered in such explorations.”Since there were so many treasures down there, Xyla naturally would not give up so easily.Frederick couldn’t resist laughing bitterly. “My young friend, my knowledge about jade mining far surpas

Xyla Quest didn’t pay any more attention to Mary Sullivan. Instead, she slowly shifted her gaze to the bottomless pit of the mine.Frederick Shaw looked helplessly at her. “You’re very stubborn, young lady.”“I guess so,” she said.“You’ll suffer for not listening to more experienced folks,” Frederick said.“I believe in my judgment. Besides, suffering can be a blessing in disguise sometimes,” Xyla said.Frederick shook his head helplessly again.Shortly after, he began chatting with Xyla about his knowledge associated with jade mining.Due to her strong interest in the topic, she paid careful attention.While they were conversing, Mary and Cain Hollander eventually made it to the peak, hand in hand.Mary stood behind Xyla as she panted, pressing both hands against her kneecap. “I heard the experts telling you there’s nothing down there, but you still insist on digging further. Xyla, confidence is great, but being over-confident isn’t a good thing,” Mary mocked as she looked

If one were to get bitten by a dog, one couldn’t possibly bite the dog in return.Approximately an hour later, Darren Green and many miners quickly returned to the mine’s entrance above.Soon, Darren directly approached Xyla Quest. “Ms. Quest, we’ve already located the spots and set up the explosives down there. We have lit the fuse, and it will blow soon.“We’ll be able to check out the situation down there after the explosion,” Darren informed her.Xyla nodded in acknowledgment.Mary Sullivan immediately chuckled. “Even if there wasn’t an explosion, I already know how Xyla will end up. I can’t wait to watch you humiliate yourself.”Xyla couldn’t be bothered to respond to Mary. She continued her conversation with Frederick Shaw.Meanwhile, Frederick also resented Mary for being such an annoying woman, choosing to ignore her as well.Although Darren seemed calm on the surface, he was worried on the inside.His exploration team had tried to explore the situation five hundred
