Chapter 99
Stanley Batton had given X Quest the perfect answer yet again.
“Tell me the truth. Have you really not such prior knowledge?” X seemed very doubtful.
“Yes,” Stanley answered.
“You are way too smart. Although I think of myself as a genius, I am far slower than you when it
comes to learning,” X said.
“I’m alright,” Stanley said calmly as usual. The look in his eyes had not changed at all.
“Stop being so modest. You’re not just alright. You are amazing,” X could not resist giving him the
thumbs up.
“Oh,” Stanley said.
“It’s gettingte. We’ll stop here for today. Tomorrow… Oh, no. It’s already past twelve. Therefore,
it’s a new day. Can we continue tonight?” X asked.
“Sure,” Stanley said before standing up slowly and picking up his ck windbreaker coat.
He covered her body with the coat and even fastened one of the buttons.
“What are you doing?” X asked.
“It’s snowing outside. It’ll be cold,” Stanley said before walking out of the room.
When X looked at Stanley from behind, she felt a warmth in her heart.
Once she turned around, she noticed that it was snowing heavily outside.
Just as the door was about to shut behind Stanley, X ran after him and caught up with him.
“I don’t need it. My car is right outside anyway,” X said.
“Stop being so fearless. Your body is affected by a chill right now,” Stanley said as he continued to
walk down the stairs with his head lowered.
Every man and woman who walked past them would gasp at their good looks.
“Do you want to freeze to death out there in these clothes?” X asked.
“I have a car too. If you don’t stop spewing nonsense, our agreement will be cancelled,” Stanley
said determinedly.
X was speechless for a second. She then ran after him and turned to look at his cold expression.
“I’m the creditor. Shouldn’t I be in charge here?” X asked.
ording to logic, he should listen to whatever she said.
“Creditor?” Stanley raised his brows a little.
‘Hehe.’ Stanley chuckled to himself. This was the first time someone said that word to Stanley.
“Am I not your creditor?” X asked.
“Yes,” Stanley answered.
“Isn’t the sry I’m offering you tempting enough?” She asked.
“It’s not enough,” he answered.
“…” X was speechless again.
He sure was asking for a lot. If someone did not know him personally, he might think Stanley was a
tycoon of some sort.
X was certain that Stanley’s boss could not have been able to offer him this much money in a
month. Why was this man so wild?
“Five Batton, do you realize how wild you are?” X asked.
“No, I don’t,” he answered.
“…” X was speechless.
Once they arrived at the door, X stopped walking and was prepared to take off the coat and
return it to him.
“Be a good girl. Keep it on,” Stanley immediately stopped her.
Although Stanley was expressionless, X’s heart was still warmed by his tone of voice.
Outside, snow was falling heavily while clouds filled the skies. Beneath the lights all around them,
every piece of a snowke was covered by ayer of golden light. The world seemed perfectly
clean and serene.
Even so, the beautiful snowy scene faded into the background when Stanley was around. Nothing
could steal the spotlight away from him.
Before allowing X to react, Stanley took big strides forward as he braced the snowy gusts of
wind, leaving deep traces of footsteps behind him.
Perhaps it was because of the beautiful scenery of the night, or maybe the lights were too bright
around her, X felt at that moment that the view of Stanley from behind was the most striking view
she had seen in the world.

Very soon, Stanley disappeared from X’s sight.
After recollecting herself, X quickly got into her red Maserati and drove away.
Meanwhile, in the underground parking lot, a limited-edition ck Rolls-Royce limousine was
parked underneath a dim light, making it gleam in a low-key yet luxurious fashion.
