Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1783

After that, Cornelius Kroe made an invitational gesture. He then led Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton to the nearby table and chairs before sitting down…

Once he’d sat down, he glanced at the young monk who had yet to leave. “Clarence… You may leave us…”

The monk bowed respectfully to Cornelius before leaving and closing the door behind him.

The temple itself was already hushed.

After the door was closed, the silence was even more deafening…

Sitting here made Xyla Quest feel much calmer.

There was incense burning on the table.

The light fragrance made one feel at ease.

“Chief… I’m Stanley Batton, the man who made an appointment with you. I previously asked my assistant, Zack Cassidy, to contact you…” Stanley said respectfully.

Although Stanley was respectful, his cold mannerism never left him…

Anyone’s aura would pale in comparison to Stanley.

They’d appear inferior to him.

Cornelius took a deep look at the two of them…

After that, he slowly closed his eyes.

“I’ll have to tell you about what happened to us in detail…” Xyla said.

Right after Xyla finished speaking, Cornelius lifted his hand and gestured for Xyla to remain silent…

Xyla stayed quiet.

Approximately ten minutes later, Cornelius slowly placed his hands on the back of Xyla and Stanley’s hands.

He then closed his eyes again.

Two seconds later, his facial expression changed drastically.

His initially calm expression was replaced by deep confusion and fear.

In the next second, he quickly pulled his hand away. He then fixed his gaze upon their faces…

“Why?” Xyla asked earnestly.

“That’s because I can’t help you,” Cornelius said.

With that, Cornelius’ facial expression turned even more serious.

“Everything has been set in stone… Some things can be changed, while others cannot…

“I can’t change everything that’s destined for the two of you…

“Let fate unfold… Let fate unfold…” Cornelius added.

His words instantly destroyed all hope in Xyla’s heart.

Suddenly, Xyla felt gloomy as she had before.

“Some knots can be undone, but others can’t… Your past deeds have been too adverse for any undoing… You’ll have to bear the consequences…” Cornelius said.

After saying that, he stood up. “Please leave. I need to continue my training…”

Stanley’s frown deepened. He slowly fixed his gaze upon Cornelius’ face. “As long as you can help us resolve this, I’m willing to pay any price…”
