Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)

However, Xyla Quest did not respond to his nonsense. Instead, she frowned a little before using a shoulder throw to bring Tom Sullivan to the ground.

Thereafter, Xyla swiftly made her way upstairs and disappeared around the corner without hesitation.

After being thrown to the ground, Tom Sullivan barely had the energy to get up, never mind going after Xyla.

After a long while, he finally crawled up with much difficulty as he panted and held onto the railing.

Had Xyla picked up martial arts? She was even more appealing now.

"Xyla, I won't give up on you." Tom had a determined look in his eyes.

After Xyla went upstairs, she went directly to the master bedroom. As the door was not completely closed, she could see Jeremy smoking on his bed while he sat with his back facing the door.

Amidst the smoke, Xyla could see how depressed he appeared. Her heart went out to him.

Although Xyla wanted to go in to comfort him, she decided to close the door silently after some though. She knew her father needed some quiet time to be by himself right now.

After standing in front of the door for a while, Xyla turned around and returned to her room. She then got into the hot tub for a warm bath.

After such a long day, she needed to relax.

While a thick layer of mist filled the air, Xyla's face turned pinkish. White foam filled the tub and, when she sank most of her body beneath it, only her collar bones and her sexy shoulders were above the water. She was like a little fairy floating among clouds.

After staying in the tub for half an hour, Xyla could feel that her body had relaxed greatly. She was beginning to feel more energized too.

Once she had dried up after the bath, and had applied her skin products, she sat comfortably on bed and logged into League of Legends on her laptop.

Now that she was wide awake after the shower, she decided to play a game before going to bed.

At the same time, in a luxurious study designed with Baroque influences, Stanley Batton was seated in front of his computer while he concentrated fully on playing League of Legends.

He was wearing a black silk robe with a deep V-neck collar. As such, his muscular chest was vaguely visible and made him appear unusually attractive.

The contrasting dark color made his skin appear even fairer.

During the intense battle in the game, Stanley was using Aatrox on the top lane and continued to fight against Sion in a one-to-one battle.

Knock, knock, knock-

After the sound of the door being knocked on was heard, Zack Cassidy carefully opened it and stepped inside the room.

"Fifth Master, the issue faced by the young madam has been fully resolved," Zack said politely.

When Zack saw that Stanley was playing a game, he immediately took in a deep breath.

"I'll come back later," Zack said.

Stanley was known for his intense focus when he played games. It was also known that he hated it when people talked to him while he was in a game. Therefore, Zack needed to make his escape as soon as possible.

The last time Zack interrupted Stanley in a game, Stanley ended up being killed by the solo player in the opponent's team, leaving Stanley feeling utterly furious.

"Hold on," Stanley said while he lifted his hand away from the mouse and turned to look at Zack.

Zack immediately felt goosebumps all over his scalp while he carefully turned around.

"Fifth Master, did I distract you and caused you to get killed by your solo opponent?" Zack asked.

"Continue speaking," Stanley said curtly before he lit a cigarette and leaned into his chair. He was completely ignoring the game right now.
