Chapter 133
However, Stanley Batton did not reply to X Quest. Instead, he walked over to a female waitress
who was drooling over him.
Meanwhile, X did not ask any further as she sat down on the couch.
Outside, the northern wind blew as snow filled the air and made the world appear somewhat colder
than it was.
Although it was only a door away, it seemed like apletely different world altogether.
After ncing at the view of the snowy scenery outside, X rested her chin on one hand and
looked over at Stanley.

She wondered what he was saying to the waitress. After a while, someone retrieved a bottle of
mineral water from a nearby fridge. The person then handed it over to Stanley, along with a white
towel.
Stanley soon returned to X with those items.
Carefully, he wrapped the bottle of mineral water with the towel before pressing it gently against
X’s swollen face.
In that instant, X could feel the coolness against her face. The sting from the p earlier began
to fade away.
Although her face felt cold, her heart was very warm.
“Thank you. I’ll do it myself,” X said as she took the bottle and towel from Stanley and continued
to press them against her face.
“You’re wee,” Stanley said before shifting his gaze slowly to the view outside the door.
His high nose-bridge and perfect jawline, coupled with his elegant posture while sitting, was a sight
to behold from X’s point of view.
Since she started the X Entertainmentpany, she had seen countless handsome men. However,
none of them looked more handsome than Stanley.
X could not help but wonder if Stanley would be even more popr than Josh Batton if he joined
the entertainment industry.
Although Josh was already very good-looking, Five Batton was even more handsome than the
former.
Unfortunately, Stanley was not interested in that industry at all.
When Stanley turned his head around, their eyes met.
“What are you looking at?” He asked.
“Do you know Josh Batton? I was thinking, if you were to join the entertainment industry, you would
probably be more popr than Josh Batton.”
“So what?” Stanley asked in his usual aloofness, almost as if money meant nothing to him.
X felt truly curious as to how this person could think of money as being unimportant.
Any normal human would be tempted by the amount of five to six hundred million dors.
But him? Not at all.
Was it because he waspletely uninterested in the entertainment industry?
However, it was fine if that were the case. But, why was he so uninterested in money as well?
Since he was not interested in money, why did he choose to work in the field he was currently in?
“You really are special,” X said.
“Is that so?” Stanley slowly looked over at X before he took a puff of his cigarette.
“Yeah. How are you able topletely disregard huge amounts of money?” X asked.
“Huge amounts?” Stanley asked.
“Don’t you think they are?”
“Yeah, huge…” Stanley said.
“Well, why are you so calm about it?” X asked.
“Should I not be calm?” He asked.
X nodded.
“Okay. I’ll pay attention the next time,” he said.
X shook her head speechlessly. She did not know how this person’s brain was wired up.
Gently, X put down the bottled water and towel.
“My face feels much better. Let’s leave,” she said.
Stanley swiftly took off his coat before helping X into it.
Before she could speak, Stanley took the lead and walked out into the snow-filled open space.
X could still feel his warmth from the coat as it surrounded her.
Knowing his attitude, X did not say anything as she silently walked behind him through the wind
and snow. Soon, they entered an underground parking lot.
As soon as they entered the parking lot, sixrge men with bats in their hands got out of a ck
van.
The men surrounded them without saying a word.
