Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2425

Leon Batton hated people who bullied the weak, especially those who did that blatantly right in front of him.

His voice startled many of them, who fell silent when they saw him.

The girl subconsciously clenched her fists as she snuck a glance at Leon.

It was the first time he had seen her face properly.

She had a small face with almond-shaped eyes, and shapely eyebrows.

The corners of her eyes were slightly reddish as they glistened with tears. She looked like an injured fawn.

Being seen in such a downtrodden state by the person she deeply admired, she genuinely wanted to dig herself a hole to hide.

She was worried Leon would notice her, and to her surprise, he did.

She didn't mind being seen by thousands with scars all over her body, but the only person she wouldn't want to see her that way was Leon. She felt her fragile ego shatter into pieces right then.

In the next moment, Lynette Batton stepped directly in front of the girl, facing off all the boys and girls bullying her.

"I dare you to bully her again," Lynette uttered confidently. "Get lost already!"

She rarely lost her temper, occuring only when she couldn't control herself.

The crowd started to disperse after knowing how they had managed to make the prettiest girl in the school upset.

"Wait a second," Lynette called out suddenly.

Everyone stopped in their tracks and turned to gaze curiously at her.

"Apologize before you leave," she added.

They obliged by looking briefly at the girl. "Sorry," they said in a chorus before leaving in a hasty retreat.

Among those students, half of them liked Lynette, while the other half liked Leon.

No one wanted to seem horrible in front of the person they admired.

Soon, it became quiet.

Seeing the siblings championing her made the girl feel warm inside.

"Thank you," she mumbled as she averted her eyes.

Then, she quickly turned around and ran off, tears beginning to stream down her face uncontrollably.

She had no idea why she was so weak. She seemed so helpless despite being bullied.

She also didn't understand why she

Lynette let out a long, helpless sigh seeing how panicked the girl seemed.. "I feel sorry for her."

Her brother remained quiet, glancing at the girl's retreating back before turning around to leave.

She was about to follow suit when she noticed a khaki-colored leather bag on the ground. Peering around her, she didn't see anybody there.

She unintentionally glimpsed a box containing a small slice of toast with

There was a strange feeling in his heart for some unknown reason when he saw its contents.

It reminded him of feeling relieved upon replaceing something after accidentally misplacing it.

Leon immediately grabbed the leather bag and took out the toast.
