Chapter 1131
After that, Ron Batton handed a red document holder over to Stanley Batton. "These are the share transfer contracts we have signed. There are also a series of documents amended by the company's legal staff... They've all been publicly certified... Now, the entire Dragon Group belongs to you... Do a good job, alright?"
"Okay, I won't let you down." Stanley seemed determined.
"Okay. I believe in you... Alright, I'll be getting back to work. You guys have fun..." After that, Ron got up and headed upstairs.
After Ron had left, Sharon Lindt endearingly held Xyla Quest's hand. "Xyla, will you stay at home for dinner tonight?" she asked affectionately.
Xyla instantly nodded.
Sharon beamed with a smile. "What would you like to eat? I'll cook for you..."
"Anything will do. I'll eat anything as long as you make it..." Xyla said.
"You are such a sweet-talker." Sharon was delighted. "Xyla is the best daughter-in-law in the world."
"Mom, that's too much." Xyla chuckled embarrassedly.
"How is that too much? It's the truth..." After saying that, Wilson Batton looked at Stanley. "Anyway, everything in the company belongs to you now... You can do whatever you want. Nobody will interfere with your decisions... Even if you transfer the company under Xyla's name, we won't care..."
Stanley nodded slightly before picking up a transparent teapot and poured each of them a cup of tea.
Wilson's words made Xyla's heart feel warm again.
'What kind of heavenly in-laws are they?' Xyla couldn't help but think to herself.
"Xyla, I bought you some new clothes. Come up and see if you like them... Let's go..." Sharon passionately tugged at Xyla's hand and pulled her onto her feet.
"Sure." Xyla instantly followed Sharon up to the second floor.
After arriving upstairs, Sharon led Xyla into a bedroom.
There were over ten different shopping bags on the large, baroque-style, beige bed in the master bedroom.
Xyla guessed that those must have been the clothes that Sharon bought for her.
As soon as they walked through the door, Sharon excitedly pulled Xyla over to the bed. She then placed all the bags on the bed in front of Xyla. "Look... These are all yours. I went shopping this morning. Wher I saw these, I thought they looked rather nice. That's why I bought them."
Xyla instantly took the clothes out from the bags one at a time...
All the clothes Sharon had bought for her were dresses including long, short, halter, pure cotton, chiffon, floral, and all sorts of designs.
Each item was of Xyla's tastes.
Xyla liked them very much.
"I really like them... Mom, you have great taste," Xyla said as she checked each of the dresses out.
Sharon immediately started smiling. "I'm glad you like them... Take all of them."
"You really are the best mother-in-law in Country Z..." Xyla beamed at Sharon.
The Batton family was akin to a god-like family. Ever since Xyla got together with Stanley, they had never allowed her to suffer a single bit.
Here, she was the most adored person.
"Ah I'm just average..." Sharon said humbly.
Beep, beep, beep...
Right then, Xyla's phone started ringing...
Chapter 1132
Chapter 1132
A piece of news about Xyla Quest appeared on her phone-
"Popular period drama, Green Clouds Above, with the same title as the original work, is confirmed to have started filming. Xyla Quest will be acting as the fairy, Pink Misty! Photos from the shoot have been made publicly available!"
Xyla didn't expect Sebastian Brenand to make her photos publicly available so soon...
After all, those photos were taken only the day before.
When Sharon Lindt saw the content on Xyla's phone, she instantly started speaking excitedly. "Let's take a look at your photos. Last night, Stanley showed me a video of you getting your makeover. I was stunned by how beautiful you were."
Xyla instantly tapped on it.
The thing that came to view was a nine-picture collage of Pink Misty's photos.
There were pictures of her strumming a harp with her head lowered as well as her smiling while she looked down...
All the pictures had gray backgrounds.
Since the photos weren't edited, they were looking at complete originals.
However, even so, Xyla still looked like a fairy in the pictures. There was something unusual about how pretty she was.
It was almost as if she was a real fairy.
When Sharon saw these pictures, she couldn't help but exclaim and offer compliments. "Don't these pictures look way too good?"
Xyla also liked these pictures. "Indeed, they are..." She instantly complimented.
Immediately after that, Sharon tapped on the comment section. Sharon and Xyla could see all sorts of compliments-
"Ahhh! Isn't this Pink Misty herself? Ahhh! It's practically the same person!"
"Back when there were rumors about Green Clouds Above being adapted into a television drama, I was thinking how great it would be if Xyla could act as Pink Misty! Now, my dream has come true! Ahhh!" "Indeed, this is the woman adored by Stanley Batton. Isn't she a fairy in the human world?"
"Ahhh... How could she be so perfect? Xyla is practically every man's dream!"
"Who wouldn't like a woman like her? She deserves to be doted on by Stanley!"
When Sharon saw how everyone was complimenting Xyla, she immediately smiled satisfactorily. "These people are so good at flattery. Why don't they write a book?"
Hearing this, Xyla's smile widened gradually.
At first, she wanted to close this Weibo article and look at other stuff.
However, Sharon didn't seem to want to close it. She kept swiping the screen.
It was as if Sharon had become addicted to the compliments.
Seeing Sharon in this way, Xyla had no choice but to hand over her phone to Sharon. Meanwhile, Xyla began placing the clothes Sharon had bought her against her body as she stood in front of the dressing mirror inlaid with gold and diamonds.
When Sharon saw those compliments about her daughter-in-law on Weibo, she was in a very good mood. Even her eyes were filled with joy.
Sharon continued to swipe through the comments. "Xyla, these people are all saying that you are a fairy... Someone even said that you're the prettiest woman in the last five thousand years..."
Xyla had often seen comments like these that Sharon had mentioned. Hence, she didn't feel much in her heart.
Instead, Xyla simply smiled without saying anything.
"Someone even said that Stanley is the luckiest man alive to have found you... I think so too..." Sharon added.
Xyla continued checking out a white floral dress by placing it against her body. "I'm also the luckiest woman alive to have met Stanley..." She said.
***
The next morning, when Xyla opened her eyes, Stanley was already gone...
Since she managed to rest enough the night before, she felt very energetic now.
After lying on the bed for a while, Xyla slowly sat up and checked the time.
By then, it was eight o'clock in the morning...
Beep, beep, beep...
Just as Xyla was ready to get out of bed to get cleaned up, her phone started ringing..
Chapter 1133
Chapter 1133
It was a voice call from Blue Sky Exploration Team's leader, Darren Green.
Xyla instantly tapped on the button to answer the call.
"Ms. Quest... We are fortunate. I just came to Blue Mountain City and discovered something huge. I discovered a decent jade mine vein here. Based on the rough stones I see, they are of very high quality... Are you sure you don't need us to check the specific conditions down there?" Darren asked.
"That won't be necessary... Send me the geographical location... I'll go and check it out later..." Xyla was feeling overjoyed right then.
She really didn't expect Darren to find a jade mine so soon...
"Alright, I'll send it to you right away," Darren said.
"Okay..." Xyla said.
After that, Xyla hung up the phone.
After hanging up, she sent Stanley Batton a WeChat message to tell him that he might have to head over to Blue Mountain City to check out the jade mine.
Stanley didn't reply to her.
Xyla knew that he might be in a meeting. Hence, she didn't send him another message.
After putting her phone down, she quickly entered the bathroom and went through a simple routine of cleaning up. Later, she entered the closet and got changed into a more leisurely outfit...
She wore a white slim-fit T-shirt on top and a pair of black working pants on the bottom, coupled with a pair of white sports shoes.
After pulling her hair back into a ponytail, Xyla put on a black cap and tugged her ponytail out through the gap in the back of the cap.
Once everything had been prepared, Xyla returned to her room to get her phone to check the location Darren had sent her.
Right then, Stanley's call came in.
"Honey..." Xyla said softly.
"Hmm, are you going to Blue Mountain City?" Stanley asked.
"Yeah... Could you arrange a helicopter for me?" Xyla asked.
"I'll take you there on my own," Stanley said.
"Are you free?" Xyla asked.
"Yeah... I am," Stanley said.
On the other end of the call, in Dragon Group's president's office, Stanley was sitting in front of a desk piled up with documents as he spoke softly. Zack Cassidy sat across him with a neutral expression. He couldn't resist complaining in his heart. 'Fool! Such a fool!'
There were so many documents waiting to be signed by him. How could he say he was free?
However, although Zack had a differing opinion in his heart, he didn't dare to verbalize his opinion. Instead, he silently kept his head lowered.
After the call ended, Stanley looked at Zack. “Arrange a helicopter for me.....”
"Mr. Batton, what about... These?" Zack pointed at the piled-up documents.
"I'll deal with them after I return in the evening..." Stanley said.
"Alright..."
***
Three hours later, Stanley flew a large helicopter with Xyla and twenty bodyguards before arriving at the location Darren had provided them... When one looked down from the helicopter, there were tall mountains everywhere.
During this season, all the trees and plants on the mountain were in their prime. Large patches of lush greenery made one feel very much at ease. As the helicopter approached the ground gradually, all the Blue Sky Exploration Team members slowly came into Xyla's sight.
They were all wearing red working outfits and orange safety hats...
Soon, Stanley's helicopter landed stably on the ground...
The helicopter's propellers caused a strong wind to blow. It blew so hard that the entire world seemed to have become hazy and unclear.
The Blue Sky Exploration Team members watched as Stanley quickly killed the helicopter's engine and got out of the helicopter.
Chapter 1134
Chapter 1134
As soon as Stanley Batton got off the helicopter, he very quickly carried Xyla Quest off the helicopter too.
Their affectionate demeanor made everyone around them envious.
They were located mid-mountain.
In Stanley's arms, at one glance, Xyla could see endless mountains, the wildflowers all throughout the mountains, as well as wild grass and trees...
The multitude of colors blending together was magnificent to behold.
The twenty bodyguards dressed in black also quickly got out of the helicopter and lined up in two rows next to Xyla and Stanley.
Immediately after that, the Blue Sky Exploration Team members quickly walked up to Xyla and Stanley.
Each of them were tanned. They all looked healthy and shiny.
Their leader was a middle-aged man with short hair. He nodded politely as he looked at Stanley. "Mr. Batton, Madam... Nice to meet you..."
"This is Darren Green..." Stanley looked calmly at Darren and said. He continued to hold Xyla in the same posture.
They were behaving like this in front of so many people. Xyla instantly left Stanley's embrace embarrassedly. "Nice to meet you... I'm Xyla Quest... I'm counting on you for your help in the future." Darren instantly bowed to her respectfully and shook her hand. "I will do my best for you, Madam."
After that, Darren introduced the other nineteen members of the Blue Sky Exploration Team to Xyla.
Xyla greeted them one by one before cutting to the chase. "Where's the ore vein you spoke of?" Darren immediately turned around and gestured to Xyla and Stanley. "Please come with me..." He said.
After saying that, Darren led Xyla, Stanley, and the others forward...
Throughout the entire process, Stanley held Xyla's hand tightly. He carefully kept her steady for fear that she might knock herself somewhere.
It was as if he was protecting a fragile clay doll.
Following Darren's footsteps, they soon arrived at a wall of rocks.
After that, Darren pointed at a large spot with cut jade rocks. "Look, here... Some original jade rock has already been revealed. I used tools to cut it open... It looks like high-quality jade...
"I think there must be a great ore vein down here. Normally, if the quality of the upper jade mine is good, the lower part can't be too bad," Darren said.
Xyla carefully observed the cut surface of the original jade rocks. Each of the cut surfaces was green in color. Moreover, the color was of an excellent tone.
Xyla then shifted her gaze to a piece of large jade rock with a cut surface. After that, she quickly activated her penetrating vision-
In the next second, her gaze pierced through the piece of original jade rock and into the inner section of the wall.
Xyla could clearly see that there was nothing inside...
There were only boundless rocks...
She continued to look around on the inside. There seemed to be only rocks left within.
However, soon, her vision turned dark, and she couldn't see anything...
Xyla was a little stunned by this scene.
Her vision had only just entered the wall of rocks, but she couldn't see anything after a short moment. She didn't expect this.
She only knew that her penetrating vision required distance, but she didn't know there was a requirement for the thickness of an object too.
At first, she thought she could clearly see through everything under the ground. However, she realized that she couldn't at all...
Xyla sensed that her vision could only pierce through the thickness of about one meter.
She immediately let out a long sigh.
It looked like she had really overestimated her abilities.
From the looks of it, her dream of setting up a gold mine and jade mine by completely relying on her penetrating vision was going down the drain...
Since she could only use her sight to see through objects within one meter, she couldn't have full vision of an ore mine.
Xyla sensed that she had played herself for her over-confidence...
Chapter 1135
Chapter 1135
If Xyla Quest had known this would happen, she would've experimented somewhere before making up her mind to set up a jade mine and a gold mine. Recently, she had been too successful with using her penetrating vision on objects. Hence, she didn't predict this would happen at all.
However, back when she looked through information on jade mines, she did learn a few things about ore veins.
"Ms. Quest, what are you thinking?" Darren Green asked curiously.
When Stanley Batton saw this, he instantly walked up to Xyla and looked at her. "Is there a problem?"
"Hmm, the thickness is limited..." Xyla said blandly.
When Stanley heard this, he immediately understood.
Meanwhile, Darren and the others couldn't understand her at all...
Xyla didn't say anything. She continued trying to look through the bottom of the wall of rocks...
However, she discovered that the outcome this time was precisely the same as before.
"Is it still the same?" Stanley asked.
Xyla nodded again...
After that, she tried again...
This time, the result was still the same.
However, since they were here and discovered an ore vein, she didn't want to give up so easily.
Xyla still wanted to see what the situation was like down there.
Hence, she looked at Darren. "Why don't you guys explore down there and see what it's like?”
Darren didn't think much of it. He immediately nodded and looked at the people around him. "Guys, go down the mountain and move our exploration tools up here..."
The people around him immediately made their way down the mountain.
Right then, a helicopter's engine sound could be heard...
Xyla subconsciously looked over.
She could see a white helicopter moving toward them.
Moreover, it was getting closer and closer to the ground.
Likewise, Stanley also shifted his gaze to the white helicopter...
Soon, the white helicopter stopped somewhere ten meters across from the two of them...
The helicopter's propeller instantly caused a wild wind current that blew sands and pebbles off the ground.
Approximately a few seconds later, the helicopter's engine was turned off. Up to a hundred blonde-hair, blue-eyed men dressed in black jumped off the aircraft.
The men dressed in black quickly lined up in two rows at the other exit of the helicopter.
The man dressed in black closest to the helicopter's cabin door respectfully opened the door.
Soon, a young man with blonde hair and blue eyes walked out of the helicopter.
He was wearing a slim-fit Armani shirt with long, black pants. He looked like the standard Caucasian...
There was a cold aura about him.
After calmly glancing at Xyla and the others, he led his men over to them.
"What are you people doing here?" The young man spoke in fluent Country Z's language as he coldly asked Xyla and Stanley.
His proud and arrogant attitude made Xyla extremely unhappy.
Xyla frowned a little. "What does it have to do with you?" she asked.
"This is my turf," the young man pointed at the rocks beneath his feet and said.
"Do you own this place?" A look of shock appeared in Xyla's eyes.
Chapter 1136
Chapter 1136
"If I wanted it to be mine, I could make it mine at any time. I'm telling you, this ore mine must belong to me," the young man spoke once again in fluent Country Z's language. His eyes were filled with arrogance and dominance. There was a cold aura emanating from his whole being.
Xyla Quest immediately understood that he didn't own this land.
"Do you have Country Z's citizenship?" Xyla asked.
Country Z had clear rules that foreigners could only acquire the right to set up mines after getting citizenship in Country Z.
"Country Z's citizenship? How could a trashy country like this deserve a noble person like me?" The young man asked arrogantly. "Are you dreaming?"
Xyla felt extremely annoyed by what he said.
Suddenly, the patriotism in her was triggered.
She really couldn't understand from where this person found the courage to look down upon Country Z here.
"How dare you insult Country Z like this? If this is a trashy place, why did you come? Are you hinting that you're even worse than a piece of trash?" Xyla asked coldly.
The young man instantly became furious. He pointed at Xyla angrily. "You... You're dead!"
In the next second, he waved his hand at the large group of people behind him.
They immediately took out their handguns in unison and pointed them at Xyla and Stanley Batton.
Stanley's facial expression turned extremely cold.
A strong murderous aura emerged from him.
Although he was up against a larger number of people, he still seemed calm as ever.
It was as if he couldn't be intimidated even if he was going up against a huge storm.
Before Stanley could speak, the bodyguards behind him quickly took out their guns and pointed them at the young man...
The two sides were in a battle stance!
A huge battle was one trigger away...
There was a thick aura of hostility in the air.
Stanley slowly reached for the handgun by his waist before using one hand to load it swiftly.
In the next second, he dashed through the crowd and kicked the man to the ground at lightning speed.
After that, he pressed his kneecap against the young man's back and pointed his gun at the back of the young man's head.
The entire process happened within a single breath. It was so smooth, and it happened in less than three seconds.
The young man instantly started to struggle for his life. "You... What are you doing?" he asked through gritted teeth.
"Who gave you the courage to bully my woman in front of me and shame my country? Hmm? It's too late for regret!" Stanley's voice sounded like the funeral bell from hell.
With only a single sentence, he had instantly caused the temperature around him to drop significantly...
Stanley's actions and words resembled that of a male protagonist in an idol drama. He looked awesome and cool...
Suddenly, Xyla felt like a teenage girl who was mesmerized by him once more.
Indeed, that was Stanley.
Right then, Stanley's murderous glare and coldness made one feel terrified for his life.
Meanwhile, that blond-haired, blue-eyed men dressed in black immediately placed their fingers on the trigger when they saw this. They were prepared to pull the trigger at any moment.
The young man mustered the courage to continue struggling and yelling. "I'm telling you. If you dare to hurt a single finger of mine, you'll really be dead..."
When Xyla saw how ridiculous the young man looked, she smiled.
"I'm telling you exactly what I said before. The ore vein here must be mine," the young man continued shouting bravely. He wasn't willing to show any sign of weakness.
Right then, nineteen members of the Blue Sky Exploration Team walked directly up the slope nearby, carrying all sorts of exploration tools.
Chapter 1137
Chapter 1137
When members of the Blue Sky Exploration Team saw this scene, they were all shocked...
They instantly held their breaths and quickly walked up behind Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton.
When one of the team members with large eyes saw the young man on the ground, he started speaking coldly. "It's you..."
Xyla looked at the large-eyed team member. "What's the matter? Do you know this person?"
The large-eyed member snorted coldly. "For the past two days, this person seems to have been following our exploration team. When we were eating in the city area in Blue Mountain City, and when we searched for ore veins, this person kept following us sneakily... I saw him...
"I guessed that this person probably knew that we, the Blue Sky Exploration Team, were famous. Hence, when he saw us wearing the Blue Sky Exploration Team's uniform, he sneakily followed us... His objective is to locate good ore assets through us and so on...
"Once we find something, he would claim those resources one step before we do shamelessly..." The large-eyed team member added.
Now that he had explained all this, Xyla felt that it made complete sense.
This person was utterly shameless! A person shouldn't behave like this.
"Ms. Quest, what do we do now?" Darren Green asked.
"Give him the ore vein..." Xyla said.
When Stanley heard this, he instantly raised his brows. He looked at Xyla curiously.
Xyla didn't say anything. Instead, she smiled at him as if she was certain of victory.
Stanley immediately understood what she was hinting at. Hence, he didn't say anything.
Meanwhile, Darren and the rest looked confused...
"What do you mean by this? We haven't even started exploring. Are you going to give up?" Darren asked.
From Darren's perspective, these foreigners outnumbered them right now. However, they clearly still had the upper hand right now.
By taking down their leader, Stanley had complete control over the situation.
There was no reason for them to hand the ore vein over.
"Ms. Quest, you shouldn't give up so easily. It wasn't easy for us to locate this ore vein. We haven't even begun exploring. Are you going to give it up?" "That's right... There's no reason for you to be afraid of this person, right?"
"Yeah, yeah... Why are you behaving like this? We found this place first. If anything, we should be the one exploring it first..."
Several members of the Blue Sky Exploration Team couldn't resist complaining.
Now, apart from Stanley, nobody else knew why Xyla was doing this...
Everyone felt that Xyla must have gone mad for making such a decision.
They couldn't understand what Xyla was thinking right now.
When the young man on the ground heard this, he was pretty pleased. He snorted coldly...
He knew that these people wouldn't dare do anything to him.
He knew that killing a foreigner was a grave matter regardless of which country it happened in.
When foreigners were involved, it was no longer a conflict between two individuals. In fact, it might even involve conflict on the national level.
Nobody could bear the responsibilities of such consequences. He knew that they were afraid!
Hehehe... Were they so cowardly?
"Are you being serious?" The young man chuckled and asked.
"Of course, I am..." Xyla said.
At first, she wanted just to make this person leave...
But now, because of how he insulted her home country, another idea came to her.
Chapter 1138
Chapter 1138
"You guys, throw the guns in your hands away right now. Otherwise, he'll die in the next second," Xyla Quest ordered as she looked around at the blond-haired, blue-eyed men dressed in black pointing their
guns at Stanley Batton.
After the huge conflict earlier, she needed to make sure they didn't have their guns.
Otherwise, they couldn't be sure that those men wouldn't directly fire at them after they released the young man.
If a gunfight really happened, they had far too few people. They wouldn't have an advantage at all.
"Sure... We can throw our guns away, but you must also do the same..." The young man said.
"We won't..." Xyla said.
"Then, why should we throw our guns away?" the young man asked.
Stanley Batton snorted coldly. He placed his finger on the trigger and pressed the gun more forcefully against the back of the young man's head. "Just because I'll blast your head open in the next second." Although the young man knew that they wouldn't dare open fire so easily, there was a possibility that the gun could accidentally trigger on its own. It wasn't safe for the gun to be pointed at his head all the time. After seeing those people throwing their guns away, Xyla gave the bodyguards around her a look.
The bodyguards instantly understood what she meant and stepped forward to search them.
After making sure they didn't have anything with them, the bodyguards returned to Xyla and Stanley's side.
Throughout the entire process, Stanley had a cold expression upon his face.
At this moment, he looked calm on the outside, and there was a coldness and indifference to his mannerism.
He looked like the most elegant assassin in the world.
After carefully searching the young man and making sure he didn't have a gun, Stanley slowly pulled his gun away and stood up before returning to Xyla's side.
"In that case, happy exploring..." Xyla said calmly.
After that, she gently held Stanley's arm and smiled. "Let's head back to the helicopter first..."
Hearing this, Stanley's frown gradually relaxed. He nodded and carried her as everyone watched. They started ambling down the slope.
Being stared at by so many people, Xyla instantly blushed.
She subconsciously wrapped her arms around Stanley's neck. "Put me down. I can walk..." She said softly.
Stanley carefully observed her face. "It's easier to go uphill but going downhill is difficult. I don't want you to trip and fall," he said softly by her ear. When Xyla heard this, she immediately felt a warmth in her heart.
What did he think she was? A fragile clay doll?
He was protecting her so carefully, and he wouldn't even feel safe about letting her walk down the slope beside him.
The two's affectionate demeanor instantly made the bachelors present feel jealous.
They were now located at the summit of a vertical wall of rocks that was as high as twenty meters...
Earlier, they could get up very easily because the wall of rocks was joined to the mountain at a less challenging angle...
However, even so, going downhill was still a little tricky.
Stanley took every step incomparably carefully.
He wasn't worried that he would trip and fall.
Instead, he was worried that his beloved wife would end up falling and getting hurt.
Stanley led the way forward while the others carefully followed behind him. Everyone had confused expressions upon their faces.
At this moment, everyone was inwardly mumbling to themselves.
Chapter 1139
Chapter 1139
They kept asking themselves why Xyla Quest would give up on such a good piece of land so easily. Was she a fool?
Meanwhile, why didn't Stanley Batton try to stop her?
Was this couple completely mad?
Meanwhile, the foreigners led by the young man didn't try to look for trouble anymore after watching Stanley and the others leave.
The young man looked down at the group of people getting further and further away from himself. "Haha... Did you see that? People from Country Z are really all cowards... Do you know why they were bullied in the past? That's because they're cowards..." He sneered arrogantly.
"Even now, they're still cowards... Still a bunch of sick people. They gave away such a good piece of land just like that. They can't even put up a fight," the young man added.
After saying that, he shifted his gaze to the wall of rocks beneath his feet. The cut surface had an excellent piece of original jade rock. "Haha... We're going to get filthy rich... It must be filled with jade down there... Moreover, it's a high-grade kind.
"For the Blue Sky Exploration Team to set their eyes upon this place, it must contain extraordinary stuff... You guys, move the explosives over right away. I want to blast this ore vein open. I want to make a lot of money," the young man said coldly...
Right then, he felt extremely pleased.
Soon, a few blond-haired, blue-eyed men dressed in black quickly ran down the mountain...
When Xyla Quest and her entourage arrived by their helicopter, they saw many men dressed in black running down the mountain.
They ignored those men and directly got into the helicopter.
Stanley Batton sat in the pilot's seat while Xyla sat in the passenger's seat.
The rest of the group sat in the respective rows behind them.
The cabin space was huge. Even with the addition of the twenty people from the Blue Sky Exploration Team, it still felt incomparably spacious.
After everyone had buckled up, Stanley instantly switched on the helicopter's engine. He slowly tugged at the helicopter's lifting lever and brought the aircraft up into the sky...
Once they got into the air, the helicopter continued to ascend. Meanwhile, the scenery beneath their feet was getting further and further away.
Xyla did not shift her gaze away from the group of people on top of the wall of rocks. A smile slowly appeared upon her face.
As the helicopter ascended further and further, those people looked smaller and smaller in her line of vision.
When they were approximately thirty meters away from the ground, Stanley brought the helicopter to a halt in the air.
After that, he also shifted his gaze to those foreigners beneath them.
In the next second, he slowly extended his hand to hold Xyla's hand without saying anything gently.
There were many things that he understood without needing her to explain them.
Being able to have a soul partner like him was Xyla's greatest luck.
"Why aren't we leaving? Didn't we say we were going to leave?" Darren Green, who sat behind Xyla, looked confusedly at her and Stanley while he asked. "Wait for a good show..." Xyla chuckled. She had a confident look in her eyes.
"What exactly are you two up to?" Darren felt even more confused.
Xyla and Stanley looked at each other and smiled. However, neither of them said a word...
Beneath them, a few blond-haired, blue-eyed men dressed in black quickly moved a few boxes of explosives out of their helicopter...
There were also many tools needed for blasting the ore vein up.....
After everything was prepared, they quickly went over to the young man.
One of the men dressed in black looked at him and nodded respectfully. "Mr. Wilson, everything's ready..."
Wilson smiled with satisfaction. "In that case, start blasting..."
With that, Wilson looked up at the white helicopter hovering in the air. "This group of people actually haven't left..." He said coldly.
Chapter 1140
Chapter 1140
"It's fine if they don't want to leave. They can't stir up a storm anyway," Wilson said with a look of annoyance upon his face.
A man in black began speaking respectfully in Country Z's language, equally fluent. "Mr. Wilson... Should we go and collect our guns? I feel that the group of people hasn't left because they have something up their sleeves."
When Wilson heard this, he immediately started laughing. "Haha... This is the biggest joke I've heard this year... If they wanted to kill me, they would've killed me earlier. Why would they need to wait until now? "Do you know why they gave me such a good ore vein? And why did they even let me go? That's only because they're a bunch of cowards, alright?
"Look at that man. He said so many things to me. In the end, did he take any concrete action?
"That woman casually said one sentence, and he let me go. I'm telling you, people from Country Z are actually very cowardly." Wilson continued to speak through gritted teeth. His facial expression was entirely calm.
"Hence... There's no need to look for the guns. Just leave them here. Anyway, they wouldn't dare kill foreigners this casually..." He added.
When the others heard what Wilson said, they instantly nodded in unison.
After that, Wilson slowly chucked his hands into his pockets before leisurely walking down the mountain...
Six men in black followed behind him.
Meanwhile, the others started using various professional tools to drill holes in the wall of rocks.
Wilson led a group of people quickly down the mountain. They then waited silently for the men in black who were working at the top of the wall of rocks... With a lot of manpower, they were able to progress faster.
Approximately three hours later, the men in black at the top of the wall of rocks had dug up ten three-meter deep holes that were five-centimeter diameters.
Once the holes had been dug, the men in black quickly opened the boxes of explosives. They threw the explosives that each had a three-centimeter diameter and ten-centimeter length into the holes one at a time.
Once all ten holes had been completely filled with explosives, one of the men in black stayed behind while the others quickly ran down the mountain and stood next to Wilson.
After everyone had left, the remaining man in black retrieved ten strings of fuse over ten meters each and connected them to ten of the lightning tubes, respectively.
He then jabbed the lightning tubes into the ten holes filled with explosives one at a time.
In the end, he tied all ten strings of fuse together before lighting it up...
Once he lit it up, he quickly ran down the mountain and stood next to Wilson...
Wilson smiled satisfactorily. "The surface already looks amazing. I'm sure there will be even better stuff down there. This time, I'm going to get rich... Just you wait." When everyone heard this, their eyes were all filled with hope.
With Wilson at the lead, everyone slowly put on their black soundproof earmuffs.
Right then, the long strings of fuse happened to have finished burning. Boom, boom, boom-
Suddenly, explosions could be heard in all directions. The entire mountain shook!
The top of the wall of rocks began to explode, and pieces of rock flew in all directions!
The entire world seemed to have become hazy and unclear.
A thick scent of gunpowder spread throughout the entire mountain area. It was extremely pungent.
Wilson and the others couldn't help but start coughing violently...
In the air, Xyla Quest and the others' vision had already been blurred.
It was as if a mist had blocked them.
Right then, everyone was wearing white soundproof earmuffs. They could still hear most of the sound from the explosions. It sounded like fireworks... Beneath them, the explosions were still occurring one after another...
As the number of explosions increased, the world beneath them began to appear even more blurry...
