Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2020

Dark clouds dotted the skies, both in Atlantis and the nameless island on which Yaksha lived.

Approximately five minutes later, Stanley Batton suddenly felt a gust of wind in the house, followed by a dense sandalwood scent. The odd occurrences caused Stanley to look around subconsciously, replaceing nothing out of place other than those.

The strong wind continued for approximately five minutes before disappearing, regaining some warmth within the house again.

Stanley was taken aback by what happened, feeling increasingly curious about what Yaksha was doing upstairs.

Approximately half an hour later, a strong gust of wind appeared in the house again, carrying the same thick sandalwood scent with it.

This time, the lights went out in the house and plunged everything into darkness.

Stanley's eyes darted around, but he couldn't see anything.

The darkness lasted for five minutes before the lights in the house flickered on again, making everything peaceful and warm once more.

It all felt like a dream. It was unusual yet mystical.

Right then, Stanley started hearing ringing sounds from upstairs.

It sounded like numerous bells ringing, growing louder and louder until they were almost deafening.

Ten minutes later, everything became calm again.

All this made Stanley feel extremely curious.

However, because of what Yaksha said, Stanley remained calmly seated on the couch.

Just like that, half an hour went by before he heard footsteps.

He focused his attention toward sound.

the stairs, holding on to the railing.

Go See Yaksha walking

He seemed drained of energy and extremely weak.

Stanley hurried forward to help him when he saw this. "What happened to you?"

Cough, cough, cough-

Yaksha couldn't utter a single word. Instead, he bent over and repeatedly coughed at the ground.

Placing his hand on Yaksha's back, Stanley gently patted it to make him feel better.

Stanley didn't know what he did upstairs, but he was now suffering greatly because of it. "Pfft-"

Right then Yaksha suddenly

coughed out a mouthful of blood before sitting down on the stairs,

leaning against the railing while

huffing and puffing.

A strong scent of blood began to spread through the room.

Yaksha's breathing was also getting shallower, panting as he gazed at Stanley.

"Let me rest for a while. I'll tell you later."

Stanley nodded slightly as he sat next to him and wordlessly rubbed his back.

Yaksha closed his eyes to rest.

Opening his eyes approximately five

minutes later, Yaksha looked at

Stanley "I know where your children are. Indeed, they are with the

nine-tailed demon fox. They are still alive."
