Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1678

The bodyguards surrounded them closely.

The human wall around Josh Batton and Annabeth Cates was already solid enough. On top of that, each of them stood at 190 centimeters tall. Hence, the boss and his wife, as well as the two young women sitting nearby, couldn’t see what the two of them looked like at all.

The boss was very quick at roasting the meat.

It took him only slightly over ten minutes to roast all the meat on the skewers.

Once he was done, he smeared his restaurant’s special sauce on the meat before sprinkling cumin and chili flakes over it.

By the time the skewers were ready, the two young women had paid and left.

Annabeth and Josh were the only customers left in the exterior dining area.

Their bodyguards stood right next to them, and it made one feel pressured.

Annabeth saw that the time was late, and there weren’t many people around. She then looked at the bodyguards. “You don’t have to keep doing this. Go and rest by the side…”

The bodyguards nodded respectfully before dispersing and forming lines behind the two of them.

As someone who grew up in Belleville, Annabeth knew very well that the place would be deserted by now.

Belleville didn’t have much of a nightlife.

Hence, everyone went to bed early.

At this hour, it was time for the entire city to go to sleep.

Annabeth also knew that if she hadn’t brought Josh here to buy the skewers, the boss would have closed the store and gone home by this time.

Once the hot skewers were ready, the boss’ wife carefully brought them to Josh and Annabeth.

Due to their disguise, she didn’t recognize who they were.

Her intuition told her that these two weren’t ordinary people.
