Revenge of the Hideous Lady by Moonlight

Once all items had been moved to the national treasury, Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton returned to their house in their private helicopter together with their bodyguards. By the time their helicopter landed in the courtyard, it was already six o'clock in the morning.

On a winter day like this one, the sky wasn't completely bright yet.

The entire world seemed gray.

It was the quietest time in this city.

It felt as if the entire world stood still.

Having been busy for a long time, Xyla and Stanley were both exhausted.

Upon alighting from the helicopter, the two of them went into the house and took a quick shower before getting into bed together.

Right then, the sky was beginning to brighten a little.

Xyla pressed on a remote control to shut the blinds to block out the sunlight.

The entire house became dark again.

Hugged by Stanley, Xyla told him all about her strange encounter in the underground palace.

After listening to everything she said, Stanley still maintained a calm look in his eyes. "I had a hunch that something really did happen."
