Chapter 504
“You’ll know when we get there,” Stanley Batton said ndly as he continued to hold X Quest’s
hand.
Right then, X felt extremely satisfied. Her heart felt full.
Nothing couldpare to the feeling of him holding her hand tightly with their fingers intercrossed.
Stanley continued to drive and eventually brought X to a manor in the suburbs with nobody else
around.
Many peach blossom trees surrounded the manor, and there was no other house in sight.
A gust of gentle breeze blew, causing pink petals on the trees to fall off. It looked like pink
snowkes falling to the ground.
The air smelled sweet to the two of them.
The manor’s design was of ssic ancient European style, like a ce the ancient European
royalty lived in. There were lights everywhere inside and outside the estate, making the ce
appear almost like a pce in fairy tales.
X knew this was the famous Rosales Manor in Antis, and it derived its name from the
surrounding peach blossom trees.
Legend had it that a mysterious tycoon lived in the manor, and he had spent a lot of money to
renovate it. However, nobody knew who this tycoon was.
Even if outsiders wanted to look at the manor, they could only do so from afar. None of them could
ever get close because of the strict security inside and out of the manor.
Apart from this, there was also an important reason that a peach blossom forest surrounded the
manor. Ordinary people would get lost in there and never be able to find their way out.
It was designed by a maze expert who made it into the world’s mostplex forest maze.

“This is…? Yours?” X asked.
X was not too surprised by this fact.
With the Batton’s family wealth, this manor was probably a drop in the oceanpared to their
massive wealth.
“Yeah,” Stanley said as he drove into the manor.
The gates opened automatically, and it closed on its own after their car made it inside.
The manor’s courtyard was sorge that it probably spanned over a thousand square meters…
There were plentiful peach blossom trees. At one nce, the manor was in such a beautiful ce
with fallen flowers all over the floor that it seemed like a different world of its own.
After driving for a short distance, Stanley stopped the car and called Zack Cassidy on the phone.
“Zack Cassidy… Begin now.”
X seemed dumbfounded and had no idea what this man was up to.
“What are you…? What are you doing?” X couldn’t suppress her curiosity.
However, Stanley didn’t answer her and instead ruffled her hair.
Suddenly…
The sound of fireworks could be heard.
Right after that, the sky above the manor was filled with all sorts of fireworks in different colors. It
was beautiful, just like in the films.
Rainbow-colored fireworks took to the sky, causing the courtyard to glimmer in shes. The peach
blossoms floating in the air seemed extraordinarily beautiful.
X immediately felt joy in her heart. Like a child, she looked up at the sky in awe after quickly
getting out of the car.
Colorful fireworks appeared in the sky. It was so pretty that X couldn’t look away.
Stanley quickly got out of the car too. He then stood next to her and held her hand before looking up
at the sky with her. “Do you like it?”
X nodded repeatedly. “Yeah, I do. It’s very beautiful.”
The glowing lights flickered on her face, making her appear unusually attractive.
None of the fireworks in the sky couldpare to her beauty.
“Didn’t you say you liked watching fireworks?” Stanley asked.
X once told him that she enjoyed watching fireworks.
However, it was only a single mention. Yet, Stanley had remembered it by heart.
“But, it isn’t New Year’s today. It’s also not a festive day. Why do you suddenly think of putting on a
fireworks disy?” X asked.
“Who said it isn’t a festive day?” Stanley smiled gently.
“Look at the time,” he added.
X immediately looked down at her watch.
It was twelve.
