Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 328

“When you're there, I will send some men over to protect you. Don’t you worry, I will not let you suffer.” Xyla Quest said again.

“You really put a high value on him.” Stanley Batton smirked and he looked so calm as if he was the emperor himself.

“Just in case… Although I know you are skilled, but… What if?”

“There’s no what if, I will figure things out. You just leave this matter to me alone.”

“No, I must be a part of this. I’m the one who asked you to do it and that’s why I need to be responsible till the end.” Xyla insisted.

“Alright, I will let you take this responsibility.”

“Of course.”

After she finished her sentence, she felt that something was wrong in what he said just now.

Was she really thinking too much today?

“By the time, when you and Fred get into the room, you…”

“I know what to do.” He switched the topic immediately, “You’re very incredible, to be able to escape from a place like that.” He praised her.

“Probably because one’s hidden power will erupt once they’re in a do or die situation.” Her heart was still trembling when she recalled what happened just now.

She really did not dare to think what would happen to her if Fred Thomson’s pistol did not fall from his waist.

She would probably be… By the mastiff.

“When you pulled the trigger, it must’ve hurt, right?” His gaze was as gentle as a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water, roaming around her left shoulder.

“Hmm, I pulled the trigger purposely to let myself feel the pain. If not, how could I wash off that feeling?”

He did not say a word again and only looked her deeply in the eyes. He then helped her to lower her bed and place the blanket over her, “You get some rest, I’ll go to the balcony and have a quick smoke.”

After he was done talking, he slowly walked towards the balcony and stood by the side of the window. He then lit up a cigarette.

Within the smoke, the face which resembled the sculpture of a god was getting colder and colder.

Knock, knock, knock…
