Ch. 1801..1810

Chapter 1801 Chapter 1801 Frederick Shaw genuinely believed that Xyla Quest was extremely lucky.

Such luck was truly enviable.

Meanwhile, Cain Hollander could see Mary Sullivan's facial expression changing. He gingerly massaged her shoulders.

Annoyed, Cain's touch didn't make her feel relaxed. On the contrary, the action irritated her further.

She impatiently pushed Cain's hand away. "Will you cease for a moment? Stop that, it's annoying."

Cain immediately stopped touching her.

Xyla couldn't bear to watch this anymore. Although not a stranger to disrespectful people, she'd never seen anyone behave this bad before.

"What? Is there actually an underground palace down there?" Frederick had a bewildered look in his eyes when he faced Darren Green.

Darren nodded repeatedly. "Yes, and from the looks of it, this underground palace is probably an underground tomb that belonged to a powerful person in ancient times. There are countless treasures within." Xyla still seemed calm and collected.

Since she had already known this all along, she wasn't too surprised or excited by the discovery.

The novelty had worn off.

Frederick was somewhat confused by how unaffected Xyla seemed.

He studied her. "Aren't you happy, my friend?"

"I am," Xyla smiled.

"Why aren't you showing it?" Frederick asked.

"I am internalizing it," Xyla said.

Mary rolled her eyes at her. "You're clearly overjoyed, so why are you acting so calm? What's the matter? Do you want to show everyone how knowledgeable you are and how much you don't love money?"

Xyla raised her brows before looking in Mary's direction. "Mary, have you forgotten something?"

Mary immediately fell silent, her face turning pale.

"Based on the agreement, shouldn't you be on your knees and calling Ms. Quest Mommy'? After all, they found something down there. It may not have been jade, but it's something even more valuable,"

Frederick said in an unpleasant tone.

Mary frowned deeply, at a loss at what to do.

Her fists clenched, and then she started arguing. "I said jade, not anything else. The fact is that there isn't any jade down there."

Frederick sneered. "I specifically recall you saying that the loser must go on her knees and call you 'Mommy' if there is nothing good down there, and vice versa. "That could be jade or other more valuable stuff," Frederick added.

"There are countless jade artifacts down there. They're worth even more than jade ores," Darren said.

Mary was suddenly speechless.

"Many people are watching. You won't go back on your words, wil you? Didn't you even say something about doing a handstand while you defecate on a livestream? Why don't you do that?" Frederick asked.

He had lost his patience with Mary a long while ago. Now that the opportunity was here, he naturally would not let her off the hook so easily.

Mary found herself unable to respond.

She was in a terrible mood right now.

However, she had indeed said those things. If she welched on the bet, she would truly feel embarrassed in front of so many people.

If she did do the things she promised, she'd be utterly humiliated.

Chapter 1802 Chapter 1802 Regardless of what happened, Mary Sullivan was bound to be humiliated today.

She genuinely regretted her behavior earlier.

She also hated God. Why did God always leave the best things for Xyla?

Who was she anyway?

After taking a deep breath, Mary looked down with conflicted feelings. Her face was completely red.

Right then, she could neither leave nor stay.

Everyone's gaze seemed to burn into her skin.

"What's the matter? Can't stand to lose, Mary Sullivan?" Xyla Quest slowly flicked her long beige nails against one another while asking softly.

Although her voice was soft, she still had a commanding presence.

Despite not showing any facial expression, she could easily overpower Mary.

Mary was speechless.

Meanwhile, the bodyguards around Xyla couldn't bear watching this any longer.

They started criticizing Mary on her behalf.

"She really can't stand to lose."

"Exactly. She said she'd get on her knees and call Ms. Quest Mommy. What's the matter? Feeling regretful?"

"You can regret all you want. In that case, do a handstand and defecate just like you said."

"Since you can't bear the consequences, why did you act so bold earlier? Didn't you consider the fact that you might lose?"

Mary felt even more embarrassed by what the bodyguards said.

Right then, she felt like she was the greatest joke in the world.

Humiliated to the point of anger, Mary stomped her feet and looked up at Xyla, who seemed unconcerned.

The calmer Xyla appeared to be, the angrier Mary felt.

Xyla must have felt very pleased. Was she happy?

'This b*tch!' Mary thought.

Although Xyla was very happy, she still acted as if she didn't care in front of everyone.

Mary felt annoyed by Xyla no matter how she looked at her.

"Hurry up and get on your knees."

"Get on your knees and call Ms. Quest 'Mommy'."

"If you don't get on your knees, you'll have to poop while doing a handstand."

"Should I start a livestream for you? Ms. Sullivan, where would you like to do it? On YouTube or Facebook?"

"You can also do it on B Site; I have an account."

The bodyguards continued talking.

Xyla did not put a stop to them, neither did she comment either. She simply listened quietly.

She wanted to see what Mary would do.

Since she dared to say those things, she needed to walk the talk.

Mary frowned coldly and glared at the bodyguards. "Shut up, all of you! Who do you think you are? You're only a bunch of goons. How dare you talk to me like this?

"Do you think people like you can talk to me? Ahh-" Before Mary could finish her sentence, Xyla had delivered a tight slap across ber face.

swnovel Wham!

A bright red mark of Xyla's handprint could be seen on Mary's right side of her face.

Immediately after that, the right cheek became swollen.

Mary was taken aback by the slap.

She hastily covered her right face before peering up at Xyla in shock. "Xyla Quest, are you insane? What are you doing?"

Xyla scowled deeply. "Nobody can yell at my subordinates like that. You said they are lesser than you, but whatabout you? Are you so much better?

in "At least they work for their money. What about you? Apart from leeching off your family, what are you capable of?" Xyla asked coldly.

Chapter 1803 Chapter 1803 Xyla Quest hated how Mary Sullivan looked down on others just because she was slightly wealthier.

She couldn't interfere if Mary had mistreated her own subordinates, but Mary was in no position to berate hers.

Xyla's bodyguards felt so moved by how she stood up for them, instantly liking her even more.

Everyone vowed to remain loyal to Xyla for life.

Mary felt so furious that she had trouble breathing. Her hand raised, poised to return the slap.

Before it could land, Xyla swiftly grabbed her by the wrist and glared coldly at her face. "Mary, stop dawdling and admit defeat."

"That's right... you're not all that great if you dilly-dally."

"I'm sure you wouldn't want other people to find out that you're someone who lacks credibility, would you?"

"Hurry up... can you not admit defeat?"

Xyla's bodyguards started speaking up again on her behalf.

Feeling bitter from the bottom of her heart, Mary attempted to bend her knees a little.

However, she simply couldn't do it.

Kneeling in front of Xyla proved even harder than flying without wings; she would rather die.

In the end, she chose to give up.

Inhaling deeply with her fists clenched, Mary turned around and prepared to run down the slope.

Even if she couldn't manage to defeat Xyla, she could at least avoid her.

By refusing to kneel before her, Mary needed a quick escape.

However, she had only taken two steps forward when one of Xyla's bodyguards apprehended her, then hauled her in front of Xyla, kicking the back of her knees.

The intense pain caused Mary to kneel on the ground directly.

"Admit defeat. You won't get to leave if you don't call Ms. Quest 'Mommy'," the bodyguard said with a fierce expression on his face.

Xyla had spoken up for them earlier. Therefore, he wanted to do more for her.

"Mary, go ahead and call me 'Mommy'," Xyla said.

When Cain Hollander saw what was happening, he instantly stepped forward to help Mary but was held back by a few bodyguards. He couldn't move at all.

Xyla didn't comment further but kept her eyes on Mary.

Mary was the one who started this, so naturally, she'd be the one to put an end to it.

Mary looked up fearfully at those imposing bodyguards around her her face reddening as she caught sight of Xyla's calm facial expression.

Knowing she could not escape today, Mary had to admit defeat.

She immediately shouted at Xyla with reddened eyes. "Mommy!"

"Okay, that's a good girl.” Xyla smiled.

Mary immediately clenched her fists, wishing she could tear Xyla apart and break all her bones.

*B*tch! Go to hell!' Mary thought.

People around them started laughing heartily.

Mary nearly went mad when she heard their laughter.

Chapter 1804 Chapter 1804 Apart from feeling rage, there was nothing Mary Sullivan could do.

Bottling up her emotions inside was killing her.

Growing up, Mary had rarely been insulted by other people.

All her humiliating moments were related to Xyla Quest, and so she felt that she was her greatest enemy.

"Xyla, don't go too far," Mary yelled through gritted teeth.

Xyla frowned slightly. She continued to flick her long, beige nails against one another before looking at Mary's face.

"I don't like what you said. You were the one who came up with the bet and lost. How could I have gone too far?

"Weren't you the one who suggested this? What's the matter? Do you think it's too much now?" Xyla's voice became increasingly cold.

Xyla genuinely despised Mary, so she wasn't holding back at all.

"That's right... you suggested this yourself. Now, you're blaming Xyla for it. Are people from the Sullivan family all this shameless?"

"You're not wrong. Isn't everyone from the Sullivan family like this? None of them are decent."

"Exactly. There is rarely any positive news about the Sullivan family. It's always negative in the media... tsk, tsk."

Xyla's bodyguards were speaking in turns.

Their words were like poison to Mary, hurting her.

Clenching her fists, she glared at those bodyguards who mocked her. "Aren't you afraid that I'll get someone to break your legs when I get home?"

"Go ahead and try," Xyla challenged calmly.

There was an underground palace waiting for her, and she didn't want to waste too much energy on Mary.

After all, time was precious.

She then glanced indifferently at Mary. "Go ahead and get busy, my good daughter."

pen to the edge of the mine rance and activated h penetrative vision, scrutinizin the entire scene below.

A large opening had been created in the underground palace, now filled with smoke everywhere inside.

The explosions were placed around the entrance to the palace. Hence, there wasn't any significant damage done.

All the objects within were perfectly preserved.

Moreover, the structural integrity of the underground palace wasn't affected at all by the explosions.

Xyla had anticipated all this, and everything happened as she expected. So, she wasn't surprised.

When she last used her vision, she saw that the underground palace's entrance happened to be right above the ore vein.

Based on Darren and his team's standard practice, they would onet blast the entrance and not other places when causing detonations.

For this very reason, Xyla didn't say too much when she directed Darren to get down there.

When he saw Xyla standing in front of the mine entrance, he quickly approached her. "Do you want down into the underground go Xyla didn't answer him. Instead, she continued to check out the condition of the underground palace through her vision.

Indeed, there were hidden mechanisms inside.

There was one by the entrance, but it had already been destroyed by the explosives.

From the first look, it seemed that each room in the underground palace was not connected to the other.

Chapter 1804

Chapter 1805 Chapter 1805 However, if one paid close attention, one would discover that the rooms were actually connected.

All the stone walls in between the rooms were mobile, controlled by mechanisms in antique vases of different designs placed outside the walls.

As long as the vases were moved slightly, countless arrows would be fired from all directions.

Xyla frowned in deep concentration while she continued to use her penetrating vision to observe those hidden mechanisms.

She discovered that they had a flaw... the arrows were all positioned higher up, meaning that nothing would go wrong as long as people were on the ground when the arrows were fired.

After solving the puzzle, Xyla let out a long sigh of relief. She then continued to scan the area, finding nothing else apart from those she had discovered.

After letting out another long sigh, Xyla turned to address Darren. "It's fine, I'll go down and have a look. You can all stay up here and wait for me."

She needed to go down and deactivate those booby traps before getting the others to go down.

If too many people went down at the same time, injuries and fatalities could easily occur if they didn't cooperate well.

Among them, Xyla was the only one with the special penetrating vision to see through everything. Therefore, she needed to go down first.

Darren and the others were all stunned when they heard what she said unexpectedly.

Before Darren could speak, her bodyguards surrounded her and began to object.

"Ms. Quest, you can't do this! What will we tell Mr. Batton if anything happens to you?"

"There's nothing we can tell him. Mr. Batton will surely kill us then. In fact, our families might get into trouble, too."

"Ms. Quest, you know you are Mr. Batton's beloved. We really would be in serious trouble if we didn't protect you properly." They all sounded really nervous. Everyone did, except for Mary Sullivan.

Mary no longer felt like leaving upon hearing Xyla's words.

She wanted to stay and personally witness Xyla being in danger or killed by hidden mechanisms in the underground palace. Xyla would not survive if there were all sorts of hidden arrows and poison down there, as depicted in television shows.

She might get poisoned and die from internal bleeding or by an arrow through her guts.

It would be as terrible as Mary imagined.

As such images flashed in her mind, her mood instantly improved drastically.

She didn't believe Xyla could always be so lucky.

This time, Xyla was doomed.

Xyla glanced at her bodyguards. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I have studied underground palaces like this, and I am certainly not an amateur." én.swnovels.net Frederick Shaw hurriedly walked over to Xyla and grabbed her by the arm. "My young friend, this is not a joke Underground tombs are not places one should enter alone. en.swhovels.net "You must know that there are all sorts of booby traps in ancient tombs. If you go down on your own, you might not be able to come back up if anything happens," Frederick warned.

Nevertheless, Xyla merely shook her head. "Don't worry. Nothing will happen, I promise," she said softly.

Chapter 1806 Chapter 1806 "How about this? If you must go down there, let me come with you. I've studied things like these before, too. No matter what, I can't let you go down there on your own," Frederick Shaw insisted. "I must come with you too, Ms. Quest. We can't just watch while you put your life in danger," one bodyguard said.

"That's right, I'm coming too," another said. "If any danger should arise, I'll die on your behalf.” "I want to come along, too. I also want to die in Ms. Quest's place," yet another bodyguard spoke up.

They had been working by her side all this while and Xyla's personality had won them over. Ensuring her safety and security had started as a job, but now it was out of their free will. Xyla was such a wonderful person and deserved to live a good life.

Soon, the other bodyguards also expressed their willingness to protect her with their lives.

Xyla chuckled helplessly despite being overcome with emotions. "All right, don't get all excited. I'll be fine, I promise."

"Things are so unpredictable down there. How can you make that promise?" Frederick asked.

"I insist, anyway. Nobody is going with me, and that is an order," Xyla said.

With that, Xyla entered the elevator, ignoring everyone's protests as she started descending.

Upon her departure, her bodyguards, Darren Green, the other miners, and Frederick were all extremely worried.

Mary Sullivan was the only one who seemed unconcerned.

Slowly retrieving a cigarette from Cain Hollander's pocket, she lit it up and leisurely sat on a rock nearby, crossing one leg over the other as she smoked and observed. Darren frowned deeply. "I wonder what would happen to Ms. Quest down there."

"This lady is too stubborn," Frederick sighed.

Mary took a deep puff at her cigarette and began singing, "The weather is nice, there's a good view everywhere... Everything smells great, everything smells like flowers..."

Her singing voice stood out starkly amidst the tense atmosphere, resulting in gaining the attention of everyone there. They seemed upset.

Sensing that, Cain hastily tugged at Mary's arm. "Stop singing, please agitated. Do to get punished again?"

os hindole again?" Content to Mary sneered but kept quiet. After all, she still felt intimidated by Xyla's bodyguards.

Right after that, one of the bodyguards walked up to Mary, aiming his gun at her head.

Mary shuddered and looked at him. "Wh-what are you doing?"

He pressed the gun against her head firmly.

Shooking another word and I t your head is going to ehet I don't care who are, Mary instantly cowered in fear, feeling terrified at his behavior.

Seeing her reaction, he reluctantly put his gun away and returned to his former spot.

Mary started shivering violently as their distance widened.

Xyla took the elevator to the bottom of the mine.

Due to the explosions earlier, there were small shards of rocks everywhere.

There was a tunnel down there, a straight path that seemed endless to Xyla.

There were granite rocks on both sides, as well as dim torchlights.

The entire world seemed a little dark.

Chapter 1807 Chapter 1807 The temperature was warm during winter and cool during summer inside the mine. Although it was chilly on the surface, it felt like summer underground.

Xyla Quest took a few steps forward, already drenched in sweat.

Soon, she removed her coat and tossed it aside, revealing her flattering physique.

Her white, tight-fitting jumper accentuated the curves of her body perfectly.

There were curves in all the right places, just like a barbie doll.

Her black, skinny pants and white sneakers lengthened her shapely legs.

After a considerable time walking through the tunnel, Xyla finally arrived at the entrance to the underground palace that had a huge gap from the blast. Two people could fit through it.

Piles of rocks littered around the area after the explosions, now broken into pieces.

A strong stench of explosives lingered in the air.

Although it was pungent, Xyla could still bear with it.

Frowning slightly, she carefully made her way through the entrance and into a room in the underground palace.

Pearls... countless pearls adorned every corner of the room, all glowing brightly.

Despite the lack of lights in the room, it was as bright as day.

The smallest of the pearls was the size of one's fist, whereas the largest went up to two meters in diameter.

Such pearls were already a rare sight, to begin with, let alone those that spanned two meters.

Xyla carefully counted a hundred pearls the size of a fist, and ten of the largest size.

Scattered amongst the pearls were piles of valuable beads, jade artifacts, gold, and all sorts of gemstones.

All these treasures shone brightly from the glow of the pearls.

Now that Xyla was here in person, she was even more mesmerized by it thy than when she s using her penetrating vision.

Xyla excitedly picked up her phone and took several photos.

Afterwards, she swiftly picked up a pearl necklace within reach, examining it.

The pearls on the necklace were of the highest standard, worth multiple times the value of those commonly found.

Soon after, Xyla picked up various gemstones of different colors, a gorgeous mix of rubies, sapphinet and topaz, all of the highest quality as well.

Xyla then picked up a pearl and several gold bars, appreciating how stunning everything was.

After admiring all the treasures in the room, Xyla walked up to a wall of rocks.

Using her penetrating vision, Xyla could see another room through the wall.

Shifting her gaze downward, she spotted a white jade vase on the ground by the wall, the same one with the hidden mechanisms that she saw when she first examined the underground palace from above.

Xyla hastily laid low on the ground before turning the white jade vase slightly. Soon, the wall of rocks slowly began to move upward, revealing another room.

Chapter 1808 Chapter 1808 The second room was also full of rare treasures, even more than the first one Xyla Quest had entered.

Before she could even properly admire them, arrows fired towards her from all directions.

She tensed, despite knowing the arrows couldn't hurt her.

Paying close attention to her surroundings, Xyla managed to dodge all the arrows as they brushed past her shoulders. They missed her only to lodge between gaps on the wall. After ten minutes of arrows being fired, it finally quietened down.

Xyla quickly activated her penetrating vision to ensure the coast was clear before she walked into the room before her.

Apart from more pearls, gold, jade artifacts, and gemstones, there were various antique vases of different designs.

Xyla didn't have time to dwell on them as she walked past those treasures to another wall before repeating her earlier method and avoiding another barrage of arrows.

Just like that, another wall moved to reveal a room filled with more gold bars, precious gemstones, and pearls that illuminated the chamber.

The luminous pearls in this room were even bigger, measuring up to four meters in diameter.

Xyla carefully counted a total of eight.

She found it hard to contain her excitement as she surveyed them.

She had seen many rare treasures in her life, but she had never seen such big bright pearls.

Countless rare treasures were stored in just this one room.

Inhaling deeply, Xyla tried to keep calm as she repeated the process of opening doors and dodging arrows, unlocking one room after another, and finding all sorts of rare O treasures in each of them.

In the sixth room, she walked directly to a wall and repeated the et same process, knowing that this was the last one to be discovered; the room that contained the tomb.

It was also the one that contained the greatest number of treasures.

Upon unlocking the sixth room, a familiar sight appeared before her where the largest pearls spanning four meters were stacked to the ceiling and occupied the entire space.

With the illumination from these pearls, this room appeared brighter than any other.

It was as if the room was exposed to sunlight.

Apart from the pearls, there were all sorts of necklaces and bracelets made from jadeite of various colors.

There were also hairpins and earrings made from pearls, as well as various silk satin and many other treasures. Everything was fascinating to Xyla.

As she gazed at these things, she kept repeating the same question in her mind.

'What kind of noble person possessed a tomb like this?' Xyla had yet to observe those rare treasures in detail.

Chapter 1809 Chapter 1809 Xyla Quest could estimate the period these treasures were from by briefly glancing through them, putting them at roughly the first or second century. From the markings on those objects, they presumably belonged to the end of the second century.

Every single thing was priceless here.

Just a few of those shimmering pearls would be sufficient to purchase all the highest quality jade produced in the mine.

The beauty in here was suffocating to Xyla.

Soon, she shifted her gaze to the white jade coffin surrounded by treasures.

It had a high-quality finish covered in spectacular details.

Xyla carefully treaded past countless rare treasures to stand before the uncovered casket.

A corpse with a luxurious crown on its head came directly into sight.

The corpse, which appeared to be tall, was a terrifying sight.

Countless bright pearls the size of regular glass pearls surround the corpse.

Though small, they glowed vividly.

Apart from them, there were also many pearl necklaces as well as jade necklaces of various colors. Although the luxurious crown was made long ago, it seemed even more intricate than modern objects. The corpse's dress was made from pure gold satin with two life-like phoenixes that stood out to the eyes. Meanwhile, the crown was also made of pure gold and embedded with high-quality gemstones.

The corpse wore a pair of red knitted shoes that had the golden phoenix motive similar to the dress.

Xyla believed that this person must have lived a very extravagant life back then, more than she could imagine.

Xyla was very curious about her identity.

Sweeping her eyes around the room again, she took her phone out to take pictures of the treasures, including the corpse.

Once she was done, Xyla didn't linger around. Instead, she started heading back to where she came from.

Above the mine, Darren Green, her bodyguards, and Frederick Shaw were all worried about Xyla.

Darren looked at his watch with a concerned expression on his face "Ms. Quest has been down there for so long. Why haven't we heard anything yet? I wonder how she's doing now."

"Would she be fine after so long?" one of her bodyguards asked.

"Don't jinx it. Ms. Quest will certainly be all right," another said.

Mary Sullivan, who was smoking nearby, seemed even more untroubled.

She sneakily snorted before looking at Cain Hollander next to her. "Wait and see, Xyla must be dead down there You don't suppose tombs are that easy to enter?

"I'm telling you, people who carelessly enter tombs don't end up well. If she turns out fine, I'll chop my head off for you to use as a stool," Mary said.

sto She then took another deep puff at her cigarette, enjoying the flavor in particular due to her good mood.

Cain didn't dare to say much next to her, although he thought she made sense.

Despite her soft tone, one of the bodyguards still heard her words.

He instantly turned around and glared at Mary.

She instantly became quiet again, not daring to make a sound.

Meanwhile, the bodyguard unhappily turned around and peered at the mine entrance.

As he turned away, Mary rolled her eyes at him.

Chapter 1810 Chapter 1810 Mary Sullivan instantly became quiet.

A few seconds later, Mary turned to look at Cain Hollander. "Just wait and see... she's doomed."

Cain nodded repeatedly, not daring to argue with her.

In the meantime, Mary seemed smug.

"Why are you still here?" One of the bodyguards yelled at her when he saw that she still hadn't left.

Seeing Mary's face compelled him to slap her.

Mary immediately straightened her facial expression. "Can't I sit around?"

'I want to sit here and see Xyla's corpse,' Mary thought.

"Get lost, you're not welcome here. You're an annoying sight," the bodyguard said.

Mary slowly stood up but made no effort to leave.

The bodyguard couldn't be bothered to waste time on her, so he directly turned around.

Mary sneered in satisfaction before shifting her gaze to the bottomless mine entrance.

Frederick Shaw had a worried expression on his face. He sighed while looking at the mine entrance. "I hope nothing happens to this kid... she's such a wonderful girl."

'Please let something bad happen to Xyla, God. Please make my wish come true,' Mary thought to herself when she heard what he said.

Right then, they could hear the sound of the elevator moving, the sudden buzzing sound attracting their rapt attention.

Those who were worried about Xyla felt relieved.

Each of them had a look of anticipation in their eyes, except for Mary who seemed disappointed.

Her hope was gone.

The huge shift in emotions made it difficult for Mary to recover quickly.

While she remained dumbfounded, St Xyla arrived at the top of the she stepped out of the ele appeared in front of everyone.

The way she did so felt smooth and agile, appearing very cool.

Mary had her hands dangling by her side, her fists clenched as her nails pierced through her skin, completely unaware.

Her knuckles cracked audibly from the force she exerted.

Mary felt as if she was going mad.

How was this possible? How could Xyla return safely?

Logically speaking, she should be dead!

Most people who ventured into underground tombs met their untimely demise one way or another, but why didn't Xyla? Mary felt embarrassed when she recalled how she made those confident claims in front of Cain.

Did Xyla have a hidden talent at embarrassing others?

Why was she always capable of doing so?

Xyla glared coldly at Mary, who stood behind everyone.

After that, she addressed the people who safe down Worried about her,"

there now... you can. et ontent come down at any time." belongs to FindNovel.net "Ms. Quest, is there nothing down there? Not even booby traps?" Frederick had a look of disbelief in his eyes.

He truly had not met a single person who managed to venture into underground tombs and make it back alive.

Usually, professionals were required to explore underground tombs, è those with experience to study the environment thoroughly and make calculated approaches before they began.

How could an amateur like Xyla do it?

Was Xyla a professional?

At that instant, Frederick felt a great sense of respect toward her.
