Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 273

When Xyla saw Stanley’s face, she cried even more intensely. At that moment, she felt as if she was someone about to die from dehydration in the desert, while Stanley was the savior who brought water to her.

Feeling extremely grateful from the bottom of her heart, she found it impossible to stop her tears from falling.

“Close your eyes,” ordered Stanley, glaring at the people around him.

Everyone immediately closed their eyes.

When Tom saw the large group of people, he was momentarily stunned and stopped what he was doing. However, he quickly recovered and took a dagger out of his pocket, pointing it at Xyla’s neck.

“Don’t come any closer, or I will slit her throat,” he said.

Realizing that he was outnumbered, Tom had to find a way to escape. Otherwise, he would be in deep trouble.

Xyla could feel the cold dagger against her neck. A chilling sensation began to spread across her skin. Although she was in a dangerous situation, she no longer felt afraid because Stanley was here.

“You must have a death wish!” shouted Stanley with a cold and murderous look in his eyes.

Stanley pulled his black tie loose before walking over to the bed. He quickly removed his coat and placed it over Xyla. As soon as the coat landed on her, she could feel her face and body being covered up completely. Everything had turned dark around her.

Stanley pulled a pistol out from around his waist. Before Tom could react, Stanley pointed the gun at Tom’s wrist, which held onto the dagger, and fired at it. Since the pistol was muted, there was barely any sound when the bullet was fired. Even so, Xyla shivered in shock.

After a second, blood began to gush out from Tom’s wrist. The scent of blood wafted through the air.
