“Honey… Please come back to the Quest family’s house. I discovered very strange things,” Xyla Quest said.“Hmm, okay…” Stanley Batton answered without hesitation.There were people walking past him all the time, but none of them shone brighter than him.After making the call, Xyla turned to look at a few servants who were doing house chores. “Come here…” She said.The servants quickly walked over to Xyla. They bowed their heads respectfully while waiting for instructions from Xyla.“You must all keep what happened at home today a secret. Nobody will say a word…” Xyla instructed earnestly.Someone very powerful might be hiding behind all this. There might also be a huge, shocking scheme.If what happened was known to outsiders, and this person found out, it might easily cause panic…After all, Xyla was out in the open, but that person was still hidden in the dark.“Yes!” the servants all answered simultaneously.“If I discover anyone spreading the news out, I will make her pay

“It looks like… They have always been the same. Anyway, they just treated me unusually badly,” Xyla Quest said.“I think it’s unlikely that the person controlled them at an early stage… Perhaps, some time down the road, they fell under this person’s control. Otherwise, Xyla wouldn’t have been able to stay alive until now.“But I still don’t get it. This person feels to me like a very powerful person. It should be very easy for him to take your life. Why did he go around in circles like this? Wouldn’t it be easier if he simply hypnotized you and made you commit suicide?” Ron Batton began to voice his concerns.The things Stanley Batton and Ron said were also what Xyla wanted to say.Endless question marks circled the three of their heads. All three of them felt very confused.There were many issues from a logical standpoint.“I’m afraid we’ll only be able to understand what exactly is going on after we find that person. The problem is that he is in the dark while we are in the lig

Ron Batton didn’t say anything. Instead, he continued to frown deeply. “It’s probably the Black Poison…”“Black Poison?” Xyla Quest had never heard about any such poison. Now, she felt increasingly curious.“Yeah. This kind of poison also originated from Sorax. It’s made using over ten thousand types of poisons. A single dosage the size of a sesame seed would be enough to turn someone into this…” Ron said.“Like the Soul Devouring Potion, this kind of poison should have eventually disappeared following his death…” Ron added.Both types of poisons pointed them to Sorax.Xyla felt that this ‘master’ must have been related to Sorax somehow.After all, these two types of poison were both rare poisons of this world.If this person wasn’t related to Sorax, it must not have been easy to acquire such poisons…“Master, honey, do you think this ‘master’ might be related to Sorax? Otherwise, how did he come to possess these strange poisons that should have disappeared following Sorax’s de

She felt safe whenever she was with him. In fact, she was not that worried about her safety. Her life might be in danger, but she had him. She was not afraid of anything when he was around. “The upright need not fear the crooked. Trust me. We’ll get through this.” Xyla Quest looked as determined as ever. “Yeah.” Stanley hugged her tightly again. Ron was pleased to look at the intimacy between the lovely couple. However, it did not ease his worries. He feared that something terrible was going to happen to Xyla. He was on tenterhooks because he cared about her. Xyla got along well with everyone in the Batton family. She was the apple of their eyes. They could not bear losing her. “Alright. I’ll go find Dad first.” Xyla pushed Stanley away and admonished him, “Take care of Grandpa.”“I will.” Stanley smiled and gently stroked her hair. ***Xyla headed straight to parlor No.1 once she reached the funeral home.She was surprised to find that all her family and frien

The fake bodies they found replaced Emily Quest and May Conner’s corpses to be cremated at eight o’clock the following day. At noon, countless guests had arrived at the funeral home to watch the burial ceremony. Tears and silent anguish accompanied the substitutes’ ashes into the grave. After the burial, the crowd placed bouquets around the graves and started a prayer with Jeremy Quest taking the lead. The funeral ceremony officially ended a few minutes later. Jeremy, Xyla Quest, and Stanley Batton took the guests to a fancy hotel downtown for lunch. They finished the meal at around third o’clock in the afternoon. After sending off the guests, Xyla and Stanley drove Jeremy back to the Quest family’s house. Jeremy drowned in raw agony and sorrow even after he went home. His face was as pale as chalk. Xyla and Stanley carefully helped him to the couch in the living room. Jeremy could not stop sighing as he sank onto the couch. He grabbed the cigarette box on the coffee
