Very soon, one of his men came in.“Take the ship back to Atlantis,” he said. The man nodded courteously. “Yes, sir!”Then, he stalked out of the cabin.After the door closed, Christopher Lancelot shifted his gaze to Xyla Quest’s face again. He lit a cigarette and took a deep drag. His eyes were rimmed with red. Methodically, he blew the smoke into the cool air and turned away from Xyla, trying all his might to hold back his tears. Mixed feelings flooded Xyla’s heart as she looked at his sorrowful back.After calming himself down for a long time, he was finally willing to turn back to face Xyla. His eyes were still red as he stared at her face. “Xyla… Can you light a cigarette for me?”Xyla guessed that Miranda must often lit cigarettes for him, which was also why he had requested her to do so.Though lighting a cigarette was just a simple action in our daily life, it must have meant a lot to the two of them. Xyla nodded and reached for the lighter on the bedside table.

“Yes. He’s the most powerful gangster in Country Y. He’s involved in both legal and illegal business, violating countless criminal laws of Country Y. He’ll do anything to achieve his goal,” Stanley Batton said.Xyla Quest was not surprised by his answer. She had already guessed it, more or less.No wonder he was so arrogant.Following that statement, Stanley carried her carefully in his arms and hopped into the helicopter.The rest followed behind him one after another.Zack Cassidy was in charge of flying the helicopter. After everyone had settled down, Zack pulled the controller, and the helicopter gradually ascended. “How did you get him to let you go?” Questions were swimming in Stanley’s mind. Xyla recounted the ins and outs of the whole incident to him.After listening to her explanation, Stanley mumbled, “I didn’t know there’s such a story behind him…”“Yeah… I’m very lucky indeed. Otherwise…”He could feel his scalp prickle, hearing her stutter. Immediately, he st

Meanwhile, in her home, Georgie Clementine was going through the Heroes Assemble forum in her study.Everyone was discussing her wedding with Cloud Piercer that was soon taking place.Some people wished them well, while others said crude things out of jealousy.Many insulted Cloud Piercer.Countless low-level accounts were trying to get people riled up in the forum by saying that Cloud Piercer’s company in the real world actually went bankrupt and that he was in a terrible financial position.Their basis for this was that Cloud Piercer hadn’t spent a lot of money in the game.Although the rumor seemed fake right away, a lot of people fell for it.Under this post, many people commented about how sorry they felt for Georgie.“D*mn. I feel so bad for Extraordinary Geo. I thought she was going to get married to a rich tycoon in the game. I thought this would have a happy ending like Cinderella and Prince Charming, but the fairytale had ended before it even began.”“To be honest, C

When Georgie Clementine looked at the wedding scene in the game, her heart was full of joy…Some things were truly hard to predict.Before Georgie started playing this game, she told herself that she would only play it casually. She never thought of falling in love or even getting married on the internet.However, without realizing it, all her earlier presumptions were forgone, and the unexpected happened.After circling the city with the entourage of wedding guests, they arrived at a portal to enter to get to their honeymoon destination.Their carriage automatically entered the portal, while other players were kept outside by the system.After entering the portal, they arrived at a luxurious, palace-like place. There were congratulatory decorations in red all over the place, and many red candles were lit.It looked exactly like the kind of place a newlywed couple would spend their first night together.Another message appeared on Georgie’s screen. “Cloud Piercer is inviting yo

Sebastian Brenand never would have thought that Rachel Wood would say such a thing.In the past few months, Sebastian and Rachel had always been on good terms.He had given her everything, including money, a car, a house, jewelry, branded bags, and branded clothes.It could be said that Rachel was the luckiest woman among those who had rich boyfriends.Sebastian immediately let go of Rachel and sat up with a confused look in his eyes. “Rachel, why are you doing this? Haven’t I given you everything you wanted? Nobody in the entire city of Atlantis has treated their women this well…”At that moment, Sebastian felt his heart aching very badly.“Yeah…” Rachel nodded.“So, why are you doing this?” Sebastian pressed on.Rachel slowly sat up and looked at him with tears in her eyes. Her face was pale.“This morning, a woman called you on the phone. You told her you would meet her tonight…” Rachel said.“Yeah… What’s wrong with that?” Sebastian still felt confused.“If I only think
