Chapter 1789


    Moreover, X Quest''s memories were unusually clear.


    She thought that Cornelius Kroe perhaps didn''t intend to wipe her memories away.


    Ever since she left Terrarium Peak, a lot of questions had been on her mind.


    Too many questions needed answers.


    She wanted to know why Cornelius set up a temple there.


    She also wanted to find out why Cornelius wiped away everyone''s memories except for hers and Stanley Batton''s.


    On top of that, X also wanted to know why Cornelius gave them the talisman when he''d said he wouldn''t help them. What were those magic symbols for?


    There were too many questions on X''s mind.


    The questions were like a spiderweb that wrapped around her brain.


    "Are you hungry?" Stanley asked.


    X shook her head. "No..."


    She didn''t have any appetite right now.


    "In that case, shall we go back to my office? We''ll see if you want to eat then," Stanley said.


    "Okay..."


    X wasn''t in the mood for work either. She just wanted to stay with Stanley.


    She''d feel safe wherever Stanley was.

    Not long after that, Stanley brought X into Dragon Group''s headquarters with a group of bodyguards.


    Stanley held X''s hand as they walked in front.


    X, who stood amid a group of men, appeared unusually attractive.


    Right then, she was like a lone white peony on the mountain.


    There was a fairy-like aura around her from head to toe.


    Men couldn''t even look at her without feeling inferior.


    Only a top-notch man like Stanley deserved to hold her hand.


    "Are you tired?" Stanley asked softly. There was an indescribable gentleness in his eyes.


    "No..." X answered with a smile.


    Regardless of how bothered she felt


    by theplicated things on her mind, she still liked pretending everything was fine in front of other people.


    Even if she felt empty inside, she still presented herself in a bright andposed manner.


    When staff in thepany saw that Stanley and X were here, they greeted the two respectfully with bows...


    Escorted by bodyguards, the two of them got into Stanley''s private elevator.


    Once they had left, the entire lobby went wild-


    "X''s looks keep getting better and better..."


    "Nobody else in Country Z couldpare to her looks."


    "Sob-sob... Isn''t Mr. Batton way too gentle in front of his wife? I''m so envious..."


    "Isn''t Mr. Batton handsome? Ahh..."

    After entering Stanley''s office, X suddenly felt thirsty.

    Meanwhile, X retrieved the two magic symbols Cornelius Kroe had given them.


    She then folded the two talismans into triangr shapes...
