Chapter 1032
But Rachel Wood, who was on the bed, was still not responding at all.
On the heartbeat monitor, her heart rate was still rapidly decreasing...
Due to the plummeting rate, a beeping alarm could be heard. It was a loud screeching that was painful to the ear...
Sebastian Brenand was in complete disarray. He repeatedly shouted next to Rachel like a mad man. "Rachel Wood... Rachel Wood, wake up... Do you hear me?"
The person in the bed had a pale, greenish complexion. Her lips had a faint purple hue.
Although her body rose and fell along with the defibrillators, there was no response at all. "No... I don't want you to die... Rachel, if you die, what will I do? Wake up.
"Don't you love me? Hmm?"
Sebastian felt truly afraid. He was afraid that Rachel would die in the next second...
At that moment, Xyla Quest was also sweating profusely from the nervousness.
She began to press the defibrillators against Rachel more frequently...
Ron Batton and the other specialists nearby were all worried about Rachel.
After about three seconds...
Rachel's heart rate gradually began to rise again..
When everyone saw that, they let out a long sigh of relief.
Sebastian even plopped down on the floor...
Xyla didn't dare to relax even a little bit. She continued to press the defibrillators against Rachel.
After another ten seconds...
Rachel's heart rate returned to normal...
Everything had become stable.
This meant Rachel's life was saved for the time being.
Everyone let out a long sigh.
***
For the next seven days, Rachel continued to receive various anti-cancer treatments.
The cancer cells in her body began to reduce little by little.
Everyone was beginning to see hope.
That evening, Rachel slowly opened her eyes.
As soon as she did so, she saw Sebastian sitting next to her bed as he wiped her body down with a piece of wet cloth...
He seemed extremely exhausted, and he had lost a lot of weight. His cheeks even seemed somewhat hollowed.
He had a full beard on his face, and his eyes seemed bloodshot.
Seeing Sebastian like this made Rachel's heart ache once more.
After only a single glance, Rachel couldn't help but tear up. "Sebastian... What time is it now?"
"It's been twelve days since you last passed out..." Sebastian said.
Rachel seemed a little surprised. "Does that mean you've been looking after me for the past twelve days?"
Sebastian nodded gently. "Yeah..."
With that, Sebastian smiled slightly and carefully wiped her arm. "I have good news for you... Now, the cancer cells in your body are decreasing little by little... Dr. Batton said that, as long as you persist, these cancer cells might be completely removed. But... It's a matter of time.
"It might take a month, perhaps two months, and even possibly a year..." Sebastian added.
When Rachel heard this, she was instantly shocked.
Suddenly, she started to rejoice on the inside.
Rachel never would've thought that the heavens would actually open another door for her at the edge of life and death...
She had been given another opportunity to turn around at hell's gate and start her life anew.
"R-Really...?" Rachel couldn't believe what she had just heard.
Chapter 1033
Chapter 1033
Sebastian Brenand's smile gradually widened. "It's true... Dr. Batton's traditional medicine, coupled with conventional chemotherapy, really does work effectively."
"Does that mean I have a chance at survival?" Rachel Wood asked.
"As long as you persist, you really might be able to..." Sebastian said.
"Alright."
"For me, you must be a good girl and receive the treatment, okay?" Sebastian asked.
"Alright."
Now, Sebastian's words had filled Rachel with confidence. She believed that, as long as she tried hard enough, she would be able to survive.
***
As Rachel was doing better, Xyla Quest brought Ron Batton back to Atlantis.
At the same time, Sebastian also dismissed the specialists he had found, leaving only three of the top-notch ones behind.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
After a comprehensive examination, the doctors were certain that her cancer cells had been thoroughly removed. Rachel was discharged from the hospital right away.
On the same day, Sebastian brought Rachel along to bid farewell to her parents.
After that, he flew his helicopter and took Rachel to Atlantis.
The helicopter landed directly within the courtyard of a white, European-style palatial villa located on the coastal line.
Sebastian got off the helicopter first.
After that, he walked to the other side and opened the hatch for Rachel before carrying her off the helicopter like a gentleman.
Rachel's body had fully recovered, and she was glowing from head to toe just like she did before.
Meanwhile, Sebastian also seemed to be in a similar state.
After returning to the familiar city, Rachel had mixed feelings.
Standing in a completely unfamiliar courtyard, Rachel looked around. She seemed confused. "Why did you bring me here?" she asked.
Sebastian smiled. "Didn't you say you wanted to live with a view of the ocean and blossoming flowers during spring in front of you? That's why I bought this house... From now on, we'll live here... Okay?" Rachel nodded enthusiastically.
"This house is in your name, just like the villa you lived in before," Sebastian added.
Rachel immediately shook her head. "No... You've already given me a house. I...”
Sebastian immediately leaned over and kissed her on the lips dominantly.
He kept nibbling at her lips for a long time before reluctantly letting her go. He held her face with both hands. "Don't reject me... Otherwise, I'll feel sad...
"Listen up. From now on, whatever's mine is yours, and whatever's yours is still yours... Do you understand?" Sebastian asked.
Rachel felt very touched. "But this is a little unfair..."
"You're a wonderful wife, and you belong to me now. Why would I care about materialistic stuff? Fairness? This kind of thing is only meant to be spoken about with outsiders," Sebastian said. Rachel instantly felt a warmth in her heart. "Sebastian, you're really wonderful...”
Sebastian's smile gradually widened. "Baby, from now on, I won't fool around anymore. I also won't cruise through life without a purpose anymore. I'll work hard to give you a better life... Since I have a wife now, I have to work harder."
Through this period of being together, Rachel could sense how much Sebastian had changed.
After going through so much together, Sebastian had thoroughly changed.
He had become reliable and dedicated.
Sebastian seemed like a completely different person from the womanizer he was before.
This was something that Rachel never even dreamed of before.
Rachel truly felt satisfied that Sebastian could be like this for her sake.
"Alright... I'll support you and be your solid backup," Rachel said determinedly.
With that, Rachel suddenly thought of an idea. "Why don't we give this place a name? Let's call it Dream Garden..."
This was the house of her dreams. She felt that 'Dream Garden' was a very appropriate name.
"Okay... As you wish," Sebastian said.
Rachel's smile gradually widened. "Let's go inside and check the house out..."
Sebastian then took Rachel's hand and led her into the house.
Chapter 1034
Chapter 1034
Following Sebastian Brenand's footsteps, Rachel Wood made her way into the house.
The house was of typical European style.
It had a grand, courtly style with gold and jade embellishment. There was also her favorite type of tasseled crystal chandelier that dangled from the ceiling.
On top of that, there were also her favorite European-style furniture and her favorite rose-scented fragrance in the air.
Everything was prepared exactly the way she liked.
"I like everything here..." Rachel said.
Sebastian instantly reached out with his and naturally pulled her into his arms. "Yeah... I had it decorated to your liking."
"I like it a lot..." Rachel said.
"Hmm, as long as you like it..." With that, Sebastian reluctantly released her. He then walked to the coffee table before opening a drawer under it. He retrieved a kraft paper bag and handed it over to Rachel directly. "These are for you..." He said.
The bag was heavy. Rachel looked at Sebastian with a bewildered look on her face. After that, she opened the bag directly.
Inside, there was a thick pile of bank cards...
Rachel seemed even more puzzled. "What are you doing?"
Sebastian chuckled. "These are all of my fortunes... It's all for you..." He said.
"Why?" Rachel asked.
"From now on, you will manage my money... You have full control over my finances. Tomorrow, I will get someone to transfer all my properties to your name," Sebastian said.
"Today, you can rest a little. Tomorrow, I'll take you home to meet my parents. We'll talk to them about getting married," he added.
Sebastian's words instantly moved Rachel to tears. "I don't need you to go to this extent for me. Do you trust me that much?" she asked.
Sebastian laughed. "Idiot. If I don't trust you, who should I trust? You're the woman I will spend the rest of my life with..."
With that, Sebastian reached out and pulled Rachel directly into his arms.
"Later, I'll get someone to transfer all my properties and company shares to your name... As such, you can consider everything as your premarital assets... That way, you'll have a sense of security..." Sebastian added.
However, Rachel instantly shook her head and returned everything to Sebastian. "I don't need you to do this. I trust you a lot..."
After going through so much with Sebastian, she didn't doubt him a single bit.
However, Sebastian laughed. "It's your decision to trust in me, but I still want to provide you with a guarantee... I'm doing this on my initiative so that you feel secure. Do you understand?"
With that, Sebastian returned everything to Rachel once again. "If you don't accept these, I'm going to get angry..."
"Sebastian... I'll feel mentally pressured if you do this..." Rachel said.
They had only just gotten back together, and Sebastian was already giving her houses and all his other assets...
Rachel found it a little hard to adjust to.
Sebastian smiled. "Don't feel pressured... If you feel guilty, be nicer to me. Stop saying silly things. This has already been decided..." Rachel was speechless.
***
In the evening, Sebastian invited Stanley Batton, Ron Batton, Xyla Quest, Henry Armstrong, and Gary Lakes to dinner at Dream Garden. Firstly, it was to celebrate their housewarming as well as Rachel's joyful recovery.
Secondly, it was to thank them, for they had offered Sebastian and Rachel help and encouragement during the most difficult period of their lives.
Chapter 1035
Chapter 1035
After having dinner at Dream Garden, Stanley Batton, Xyla Quest, and Ron Batton returned home together.
As soon as they arrived home, Ron went upstairs.
Stanley took Xyla's hand and walked her to the sofa in the living room. He then extended his arms and pulled her into his embrace.
Xyla obediently snuggled up to him like a kitten. "Have you not found the person who killed Emily and May yet?" she asked.
"No..." Stanley said.
"Apart from the cause of death, we've not found anything. I've already looked for other detectives to assist Carson's investigation," he added.
Xyla nodded wearily. "What about Zack? He brought some people to look for Yaksha. It's been a month and a half now... Logically, we should've received news by now."
"Not for now..." As soon as Stanley said that, he received a call from Zack Cassidy.
He then answered the call and turned on the loudspeaker.
"Mr. Batton... I found traces of Yaksha on a nameless island in a cloudless part of the sea..." Zack said.
Once Xyla heard this, she immediately felt happy. "What do you mean?"
"I found traces of traditional medicine cultivation and food...
"Not only that, but I also saw huge patches of red spider lilies.
"These, coupled with the clues you provided previously, make me feel that Yaksha is here..." Zack said carefully.
Hearing this, Xyla's eyes instantly became bright. "In that case, quickly search for Yaksha. He might really be on that island."
Xyla felt that Yaksha was 80% likely to be on that island according to what Zack said.
"I would like to search for him too quickly... But now, my subordinates and I have gotten lost in a forest. We've been going around in the same place for two days, but we can't get out... No matter how many circles we've gone around, we are still in the same spot...
"The geomantic compass and conventional compass we brought have all stopped working here...
"Now, we can't find our direction...
"Apart from reporting to you about the clues we found, I also called in hopes of getting help from you and Mr. Batton..." Zack said.
After hearing this, Xyla instantly realized how serious the problem was.
With their conventional compass and geomantic compass failing, it was likely that there was a magnetic field interference device on the island.
The reason Zack and the others were lost was probably that they were in a forest maze.
If Yaksha really was on that island, then all this must have been Yaksha's way to avoid being disturbed. That was why he set it all up.
There were some forest mazes with complicated settings. Once a person entered, it was very difficult to get out.
"Now, we're nearly running out of dry food and water... If this goes on, I'm afraid we might die here," Zack added.
"Don't panic... Send us your location," Xyla instantly said.
"Alright... Now, among us, only my phone still has some battery left. Once I send you my location, my phone would probably automatically shut down..." With that, Zack hung up the phone. Immediately after that, Zack shared his location with Stanley on WeChat.
After seeing the exact location, Xyla then looked at Stanley. "I suspect that they may have entered a forest maze... I know a thing or two about mazes. That's why, I have to get there quickly..." She said. "Alright... Let's go together," Stanley said.
"Okay..."
Chapter 1036
Chapter 1036
Two hours later, a black helicopter with Dragon Group's logo on it arrived at the nameless island where Zack Cassidy was located...
The helicopter was only twenty meters above the ground.
From the co-pilot's seat, Xyla Quest could clearly observe the situation below.
A lush forest covered the large island, and she couldn't see what was beneath at all.
At first, she thought she'd be able to see Zack and the others from up there and that she'd be able to determine where exactly someone could live on the island... However, she didn't expect to be unable to see anything.
After checking out the situation below, Stanley Batton repeatedly flew the helicopter in circles around the island....
Ultimately, they still couldn't see what was inside the island.
There was lush greenery all over the island, covering everything below it completely.
Xyla tried her best to see what was beneath all the lush greenery, but she still couldn't
It was the same case for Stanley.
"It looks like... We'll just have to find a flat surface to land and walk in there..." Stanley said blandly.
"Yeah," Xyla said.
With that, her fingers then habitually reached for a white, teardrop-shaped pendant under her T-shirt. She gently stroked it with her thumb.
Stanley unintentionally turned around and saw the jade pendant...
Under some light, the white jade pendant shone with a low-key, luxurious glimmer.
Stanley could immediately tell it was a valuable object.
"This pendant looks quite good... Why haven't I seen you wearing it before? Did you just buy it recently?" Stanley asked.
"Oh, no. My great-grandfather left this behind for me... I've not worn it for a long time. That's why I decided to wear it today," Xyla said.
"It looks good..." Stanley complimented.
Xyla smiled. "Yeah... This was my great grandfather's treasure. Before he passed away, he told me to safeguard it with my life when he handed it to me.
"He even said that this item would bring me good luck someday in the future..." Xyla added.
"I think your great-grandfather must have liked this pendant a lot... That was why he said that," Stanley said.
"Yeah, perhaps," Xyla said.
Stanley hovered the helicopter above the forest for a long time. Finally, he found a place where they could stop.
He instantly landed the helicopter...
As soon as they landed, Xyla directly opened the hatch and jumped down with a soft landing.
Just as she landed, the jade pendant around her neck fell to the ground with a clang.
In the next second, the jade pendant shattered and turned into countless golden spots of light before scattering in all directions... Xyla was stunned by what she saw!
Right after that, those scattered light spots quickly made their way into her eyes.
It all happened within a second. Xyla didn't have any time to react.
Immediately after that, Xyla could feel a cool sensation in her eyes.
What just happened?
Why didn't the jade pendant shatter into pieces? Why did it turn into golden light spots instead? Also, why did those light spots enter her eyes? Was she hallucinating this?
After lowering her head, Xyla saw that the jade pendant, which was supposed to be at the bottom of her silver necklace, was indeed gone. Xyla pinched her thighs forcefully, and she still felt a sharp pain.
This proved that all this was not a dream at all.
In that case, it truly was odd...
Meanwhile, Stanley and a group of bodyguards got off the helicopter through another hatch...
There was a huge group of people...
Chapter 1037
Chapter 1037
As soon as Stanley Batton stepped off the helicopter, he quickly went to Xyla Quest's side.
Noticing that Xyla was lost in thought, Stanley ruffled her hair. "What's wrong with you? Hmm?" He asked.
When Xyla heard him, she immediately grabbed Stanley's hand tightly, seemingly stunned. "My pendant fell to the ground and shattered. After that, it turned into spots of light that flew into my eyes. Would you believe that?"
Stanley couldn't resist laughing a little. "Why are you saying such silly things? Hmm? Are you so tired that you're hallucinating?"
Xyla gently tugged at the empty white chain around her neck. "I'm telling the truth..."
Stanley looked blandly at the chain around her neck. After that, he looked down and searched the ground...
Indeed, there was nothing on the ground, and her pendant had also indeed disappeared.
"Could it have dropped in the helicopter?" Stanley said. He completely disregarded what she said and was about to turn around to look for her pendant on the helicopter.
Xyla instantly grabbed Stanley's hand and shook her head. "No... It really didn't. Trust me..."
Seeing how serious Xyla appeared, a look of surprise appeared in Stanley's eyes. "Are you really too tired? Hmm?”
What Xyla said was simply too mystical.
Stanley had never heard anything like it.
Xyla knew exactly what Stanley was thinking.
Hence, she continued to explain patiently. "It's true."
Stanley could tell that she wasn't making things up. "Are you sure?" he asked.
"I swear with my life that I didn't see anything mistakenly. Absolutely not..." Xyla raised three fingers as she swore.
"That's strange. Why did that happen?" Stanley was still a little doubtful.
"I think it's strange too..." Xyla said.
"What about your eyes? Do you feel anything odd with them?" Stanley asked.
"Not really. It just feels a little cool," Xyla said truthfully.
"What about your vision? Is it still fine?" Stanley asked.
"Yeah, it's no different from before," Xyla said.
"Would you like to get it checked at the hospital?" Stanley asked with a look of concern.
With that, he pulled Xyla into his arms before carefully checking her eyes.
However, he didn't notice anything unusual.
The bodyguards hadn't heard what Xyla said at the beginning.
Hence, at this moment, the conversation between Xyla and Stanley left everyone feeling confused.
"It's okay... My eyes are fine now... Let's go. We should rescue Zack and the others first," Xyla said before leading the way into the forest.
"If you feel any discomfort, just let me know," Stanley said.
"Alright."
A large group of people followed right behind the two of them. Each of them had a serious look on their faces.
***
Soon, Stanley led Xyla and the bodyguards into the forest.
Huge trees covered everything, and only very little sunlight could seep through the gaps among the leaves. Otherwise, the entire world seemed dark. There were red spider lilies all over the floor.
At this moment, the red spider lilies weren't in full bloom. In fact, even the buds were missing. At one glance, they could only see a patch of green plants.
The temperature here was comparable to an air-conditioned room at twenty-one degrees in the summer. It felt cooler than ever.
The air was filled with the rich fragrance of grass and trees, making everyone feel relaxed.
Stanley carefully led Xyla forward. "Watch your step... It's likely that poisonous snakes reside in places like this."
"Okay..." Xyla said.
The group of people followed some vaguely visible footsteps on the ground. After searching for a long time, they finally entered the place where Zack and the others were located.
Chapter 1038
Chapter 1038
At this moment, Zack Cassidy and the others were like headless chickens constantly looking for a way out. Everyone seemed exhausted, and despair was written all over their faces.
When they saw Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton arriving with help, light was suddenly restored to their eyes. "Mr. Batton! Madam!" Everyone said in unison.
After that, Zack brought a dozen bodyguards with him and ran to Xyla and Stanley.
"Hmm... Are you all okay? Did you get hurt?" Xyla asked concernedly. After that, she carefully scanned.
"We didn't get hurt," Zack said.
"That's good." Xyla finally felt relieved.
After saying that, she waved at the bodyguards behind her.
Soon, the bodyguards brought mineral water to Zack and the others in an organized manner.
Zack and the rest directly opened the bottled mineral water and emptied half of the bottles in their hands.
"Here, the conventional compass and geomantic compass don't work... Mr. Batton, Madam, we really couldn't find a way out... We've been going around in circles for far too long. This really does look like a forest maze," Zack said after screwing on the cap.
"Mr. Batton, Madam, why didn't you bring a maze expert?" Zack asked.
"I'm an expert..." Xyla chuckled.
After that, Xyla walked around and observed the place earnestly. She roughly understood the formation of the trees around them and the settings of this forest maze.
Zack had a look of disbelief in his eyes. "You...”
"Yes..." Xyla answered.
Nobody would've guessed that Xyla actually had this ability...
Immediately after that, Xyla walked to the side and observed the trees' surrounding branches.
Stanley followed close behind.
After circling, the two of them returned to the crowd.
Stanley looked at Xyla affectionately. "What do you think?" He asked.
"This is a forest maze with a very complex design, but I have made it through one that's similar to this before. As far as I understand, this should be the beginning of the maze. If Yaksha is really here, then the end of this maze may be his home..." Xyla said.
"I think I can bring you guys to the end of this maze," Xyla said confidently.
After hearing what Xyla said, Zack and the other bodyguards he came with all let out a long sigh of relief.
In the next second, each of them started to kowtow to Xyla.
"Madam, you're amazing."
"That's right... After all, you are the woman Mr. Batton fell for. Excellent!"
"Yeah... Madam and Mr. Batton are a match made in heaven."
After hearing everyone's compliments, Xyla was in a fantastic mood.
Although Stanley didn't move or make a sound next to her, he was secretly filled with joy too.
"Let's walk from here..." Stanley pointed at the spot behind Xyla.
"Do you know about mazes too?" Xyla was stunned.
Stanley smiled without answering her. He directly took her hand and walked in the direction he mentioned.
Zack and a large group of bodyguards followed closely behind them.
This time, Stanley once again changed Xyla's perception of him.
She really had no idea what else this man didn't know in the world.
"You sure know a lot... Did Grandpa teach you this too?" Xyla asked with a curious gaze.
"Yeah."
"Me too..." Xyla said.
"The old man really did teach you a lot of things," Stanley said.
"Yeah. He's very good to me," Xyla said.
"How do you feel? Are your eyes alright?" Stanley shifted his gaze to her eyes yet again.
Chapter 1039
Chapter 1039
Xyla Quest shook her head again.
At this moment, she still felt a coolness in her eyes.
This feeling was very comfortable and refreshing.
"Why does this stone look so unique?" Behind them, a bodyguard was holding a white rock the size of his palm as he carefully examined it.
When Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton heard this, they instantly stopped walking and looked at the person who spoke.
The large rock in his hand caught Xyla's eye....
It seemed to be an original jade rock.
"I didn't expect to find an original jade rock in a place like this," Stanley said blandly.
"I wonder what can be found inside the rock..." Xyla felt very curious about the rock...
As soon as she said that, the white rock in the bodyguard's hand started to expand infinitely before her eyes.
At that moment, Xyla felt as if her eyes were like a camera that could easily adjust its focal distance.
After the rock was magnified countless times, her sight quickly penetrated the surface of the rock, allowing her to see its innermost part...
In the center of the rock was a small piece of green jade. Its quality was average...
There was absolutely nothing of value to keep.
After looking at it carefully, Xyla's eyes quickly returned to normal.
In this instant, she was completely dumbfounded.
What just happened?
Was that an illusion?
Why did she feel as if her eyes had turned into a camera, and the rock could be infinitely enlarged in her line of sight?
Also, why were her eyes able to see through the rock's surface into its innermost part?
Could it be that she acquired the kind of penetrating vision as seen on TV?
Why did this happen? All of this made her heart fill with shock and confusion.
At this moment, she suddenly thought of the time when her jade pendant fell.
She concluded that that jade pendant definitely gave her X-ray-like vision....
The pendant shattered and turned into golden spots of light. After those spots entered her eyes, they had become like this.
Was this the reason why her great-grandfather paid so much attention to that jade pendant in the first place?
Was it because the jade pendant hid a kind of energy that could give someone the ability to see through things? Was that energy released when the jade pendant fell and shattered? How did her great-grandfather possess a pendant like this?
Why did her great-grandfather give her such an important pendant instead of her father or grandfather?
In an instant, way too many questions crept into Xyla's mind.
It left her feeling puzzled.
All of this had happened too quickly, and she found it overwhelming.
She subconsciously pinched her thigh forcefully once more.
It still hurt... Which meant everything was real.
"Are you alright? Hmm?" Stanley immediately asked concernedly when he noticed that Xyla was in a daze.
Stanley's words quickly drew Xyla's thoughts back to the present.
Due to the presence of numerous outsiders, Xyla simply smiled. "It's nothing..."
As for the rest, she didn't want to say a single word.
"Are your eyes feeling uncomfortable?" Stanley seemed to have a somewhat nervous look in his eyes.
"No... I'll tell you after we get out..." Xyla smiled before shifting her gaze back to Stanley's body.
When her gaze landed upon Stanley's body, nothing happened to her vision...
Xyla couldn't help but sigh secretly. 'That's weird... Can my eyes only see through rocks but not a human's body?'
Chapter 1040
Chapter 1040
In the next second, however, Xyla Quest's gaze penetrated through Stanley Batton's clothes.
She was able to see his muscular body.
She tried to keep seeing through him, but she realized that she couldn't...
Her gaze could only penetrate his clothes, but not his body.
Immediately after that, she tried again to look at a large tree next to her.
This time, her gaze was also unable to penetrate the tree.
Then, she shifted her gaze to Stanley's watch.
This time, her gaze could easily penetrate the watch and see everything inside.
In the next second, she observed the accessories on the bodyguards and the porcelain bottles discarded by the road.
Likewise, her gaze could penetrate through all of those objects.
She noticed a large, white bug on a large tree beside her.
Xyla instantly fixed her gaze on the bug and tried to see through it.
This time, it still didn't work.
Xyla was now certain that her eyes could penetrate rocks, accessories, and some other inanimate objects, but she couldn't see through living things.
This was different from what she saw in TV series and novels, where X-ray vision allowed one to see through everything.
"Honey... What are you thinking about? Let's keep walking." Stanley intimately wrapped his arms around her shoulders. He had an inquisitive and affectionate look in his eyes. Xyla quickly came back to her senses, took Stanley's hand, and continued to step forward.
Along the way, Xyla made various attempts and realized that she could easily see through inanimate objects.
However, she couldn't do the same with living things...
Apart from this, Xyla also discovered that this X-ray vision only worked when she triggered it with her conscious thoughts.
If she didn't trigger the thought, her eyes would work no differently from how they usually did.
Moreover, there was a limited distance to her penetrating vision.
She could see through things within about a meter, but she couldn't see through things that were more than a meter away from her.
However, just by being able to see through things within one meter, Xyla was already satisfied.
That was because such a special ability could already help her do a lot of things.
With her eyes, all her goals could be accelerated.
Her eyes could create unlimited wealth for her.
With the help of this supernormal capability, Quest Group's rapid expansion and X Entertainment becoming the number one company in the industry would no longer be a dream. Thinking of this made Xyla extremely happy.
Her heart instantly felt lifted with an endless will to fight.
It explained why her great-grandfather said that this pendant might bring her good luck someday in the future and why he even had asked her to safeguard it with her life.
"Honey, what are you thinking about? Are you sure you're alright?" Stanley asked with concern again.
After saying that, Stanley came to a halt and carefully studied Xyla's face.
Xyla shook her head and continued moving forward...
Stanley gave her a meaningful look before taking her hand again.
Xyla didn't say anything else. Stanley, on the other hand, didn't want to ask anything further either.
Soon, they arrived at the end of the maze.
Unlike what they expected, there was no dwelling place at the end of the maze.
There was only a large patch of medicinal herbs.
Those medicinal herbs were in full bloom now, and the colorful flowers made everyone feel happy both physically and mentally.
