At this moment, Zack Cassidy and the others were like headless chickens constantly looking for a way out.
Everyone seemed exhausted, and despair was written all over their faces.
When they saw Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton arriving with help, light was suddenly restored to their eyes.
“Mr. Batton! Madam!” Everyone said in unison.
After that, Zack brought a dozen bodyguards with him and ran to Xyla and Stanley.
“Hmm… Are you all okay? Did you get hurt?” Xyla asked concernedly. After that, she carefully scanned.
“We didn’t get hurt,” Zack said.
“That’s good.” Xyla finally felt relieved.
After saying that, she waved at the bodyguards behind her.
Soon, the bodyguards brought mineral water to Zack and the others in an organized manner.
Zack and the rest directly opened the bottled mineral water and emptied half of the bottles in their hands.
“Here, the conventional compass and geomantic compass don’t work… Mr. Batton, Madam, we really couldn’t find a way out… We’ve been going around in circles for far too long. This really does look like a forest maze,” Zack said after screwing on the cap.
“Mr. Batton, Madam, why didn’t you bring a maze expert?” Zack asked.
“I’m an expert…” Xyla chuckled.
After that, Xyla walked around and observed the place earnestly. She roughly understood the formation of the trees around them and the settings of this forest maze.
Zack had a look of disbelief in his eyes. “You…”
“Yes…” Xyla answered.
Nobody would’ve guessed that Xyla actually had this ability…
Immediately after that, Xyla walked to the side and observed the trees’ surrounding branches.
Stanley followed close behind.
After circling, the two of them returned to the crowd.
Stanley smiled without answering her. He directly took her hand and walked in the direction he mentioned.
Zack and a large group of bodyguards followed closely behind them.
This time, Stanley once again changed Xyla’s perception of him.
She really had no idea what else this man didn’t know in the world.
“You sure know a lot… Did Grandpa teach you this too?” Xyla asked with a curious gaze.
“Yeah.”
“Me too…” Xyla said.
“The old man really did teach you a lot of things,” Stanley said.
“Yeah. He’s very good to me,” Xyla said.
“How do you feel? Are your eyes alright?” Stanley shifted his gaze to her eyes yet again.
