Frederick Shaw genuinely believed that Xyla Quest was extremely lucky.
Such luck was truly enviable.
Meanwhile, Cain Hollander could see Mary Sullivan’s facial expression changing. He gingerly massaged her shoulders.
Annoyed, Cain’s touch didn’t make her feel relaxed. On the contrary, the action irritated her further.
She impatiently pushed Cain’s hand away. “Will you cease for a moment? Stop that, it’s annoying.”
Cain immediately stopped touching her.
Xyla couldn’t bear to watch this anymore. Although not a stranger to disrespectful people, she’d never seen anyone behave this bad before.
“What? Is there actually an underground palace down there?” Frederick had a bewildered look in his eyes when he faced Darren Green.
Darren nodded repeatedly. “Yes, and from the looks of it, this underground palace is probably an underground tomb that belonged to a powerful person in ancient times. There are countless treasures within.”
Xyla still seemed calm and collected.
Since she had already known this all along, she wasn’t too surprised or excited by the discovery.
The novelty had worn off.
Frederick was somewhat confused by how unaffected Xyla seemed.
He studied her. “Aren’t you happy, my friend?”
“I am,” Xyla smiled.
“Why aren’t you showing it?” Frederick asked.
“There are countless jade artifacts down there. They’re worth even more than jade ores,” Darren said.
Mary was suddenly speechless.
“Many people are watching. You won’t go back on your words, will you? Didn't you even say something about doing a handstand while you defecate on a livestream? Why don’t you do that?” Frederick asked.
He had lost his patience with Mary a long while ago. Now that the opportunity was here, he naturally would not let her off the hook so easily.
Mary found herself unable to respond.
She was in a terrible mood right now.
However, she had indeed said those things. If she welched on the bet, she would truly feel embarrassed in front of so many people.
If she did do the things she promised, she’d be utterly humiliated.
