Chapter 1781


    The rocks were making X Quest''s feet ache.


    On top of that, the path was slippery due to the snow. Each step had to be taken carefully. That was why X felt exhausted. “But... I can still take it... I''m not that weak..." X said.


    As soon as X finished speaking, Stanley Batton bent over and picked her up.


    Stanley gently carried her through the wind and snow, step by step, as they headed up the hill.


    This affectionate scene made the bodyguards around them jealous.


    The single men instantly felt attacked.This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    The bodyguards behind X and Stanley were very far away.


    A few of them couldn''t resist discussing among themselves in hushed voices.


    "Mr. Batton truly adores his wife..."


    "Exactly. He treats her like the most fragile thing on earth."


    "I suspect that he would give up his life if his wife asked for it."


    "I only admire two people in this world. The first one is Mr. Batton. He had only taken over Dragon Group not too long ago, but he''s already brought it


    to greater heights with his extraordinary capabilities... The other person I admire is his wife... She''s truly unusual for being able to turn cold Mr. Batton into a loving husband..."


    Their voices were soft. Stanley and X, who were far away, couldn''t hear them at all.


    Beep, beep, beep-


    Right then, X''s phone started ringing.


    It was the leader of the Blue Sky Exploration Team, Darren Green...


    He was the man in charge of mine exploration on Blue Mountain.


    X immediately answered the call. "Hi, Darren. What''s the matter?" she asked.


    "Ms. Quest... We''ve encountered an issue here..." Darren said.


    "Go ahead..." X seemed curious.


    Stanley silently listened to the entire time. He kept his attention on his feet.


    He was afraid of getting X hurt.


    "Here''s what happened. We''ve already explored a thousand meters below ground... Whatever we needed to dig up, we''ve already done. The quality of the jade down there isn''t fantastic...


    "I''ve already gone five hundred meters below... None of the ore veins look good... There would asionally be a few decent ones, but most of them are of poor quality. I think there isn''t much value feft to explore further... What do you think?" Darren asked.


    After hearing this, X thought deeply for a few seconds. "I''lle over tomorrow and talk over the details tomorrow... Carry out the tasks you have on hand for now..." X said.


    "Alright, Ms. Quest..." Darren replied respectfully.


    After that, X hung up.


    Stanley, who had listened to the entire conversation, didn''t ask anything. Instead, he silently carried X up the hill... X had obtained significant financial revenues from her jade mine on Blue Mountain.


    She had earned up to ten billion dors from it.


    X was already satisfied with that amount.


    However, even so, she still didn''t want to give up so easily. She wanted to try using her X-ray vision to look deeper.


    As far as she knew, there were many uncertainties regarding ore veins.


    Sometimes, just because things didn''t look good in the first few hundred meters, it didn''t mean there was nothing good at all...


    They might discover good stuff after digging a few hundred meters deeper.


    Approximately twenty minutester, Stanley arrived at the peak with X in his arms...


    The only building on the hill''s peak gradually became clear to X.


    She could see how the building looked in its entirety.
