Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)

Chapter 2511

Immediately after, the men in black pulled out guns from their pockets, which they aimed at Raymond's head. Raymond panicked instantly, going pale.

He subconsciously retreated a step back. "Who are you? Don't you know what you're doing is illegal?"

Leon sneered. "You don't deserve to know my name. In this city, I am the law."

Leon's domineering words made him seem even more imposing.

At this moment, Hannah felt as if he was a guardian angel sent from Heaven to protect her.

Something about him seemed oddly sacred and heavenly.

"Mr. Batton, do I shoot him in the head?" One of the men dressed in black asked.

"Mr. Batton? Are you Stanley Batton's son?!" Fear was beginning to spread through Raymond.

For one to have Batton as his surname and act this arrogantly in Atlantis, he could be none other than a member of the renowned Batton family.

"How dare you address our president by name?!" Another man in black leveled Raymond with a chilling glare.

Suffice to say, Raymond was terrified beyond his wits.

To think the man standing before him really was Stanley Batton's son!

The Batton family...

Raymond knew, he was knee-deep in trouble.

He was doomed!

Everybody was well aware of the fact the Batton family was the most powerful family in the entirety of Atlantis.

Not a single person in the city dared to offend the Batton family.

And yet, Raymond had actually raised his voice at a Batton.

He even went so far as to insult Leon and called him a kid...

"Aren't you going to put her down?" Leon hissed as he glared at Raymond, his tone allowing no objections.

Raymond hurriedly let go of Hannah, though he also made sure to do so carefully. "I...I just thought she was pretty, so I wanted to pull a little prank on her."

Leon's response was to give Raymond a powerful kick that sent the latter flying.

Raymond's body hurtled in the air for a few seconds before landing in a crumpled heap a meter away on the ground.

Pain assailed his limbs and joints. The impact of Leon's kick was such that Raymond felt like all of his bones were broken.

Even so, he took it in stride and didn't dare to make a sound.

He curled up on the ground in agony, motionless.

Hannah, for her part, was in complete shock.

She was thoroughly petrified by the unexpected turn of events.

She never expected Leon to be Stanley Batton's son.

Leon had never included this part of his identity in his school application form.

Based on the school records, he seemed like your run-of-the-mill son from a rich family.

He wasn't supposed to be this powerful!

It seemed Leon had intentionally hidden part of his identity, for reasons known only to him.

To think her crush that was constantly on her mind n was actually the powerful Stanley Batton's son!

Leon was the child of Atlantis's wealthiest man!

With his status, there was no doubt

he was the dream of all and any famous woman in the world. They would fight tooth and nail just for a piece of him.

All of a sudden, Hannah felt small and insignificant. She was inferior to him by leaps and bounds.

"Are you alright? Did he hurt you?" Leon asked worriedly, holding Hannah's hand with a careful grip.

He hadn't seen her for a long time, and missed her dearly.

Hannah shook her head to assure him. "I'm fine. He threw me to the ground, that's all. It doesn't hurt so bad anymore. Well, it did, but only in the beginning..."

“Did he pick you up and actually flung you?" Leon's face was frosty, his lips marred into a deep frown.

Hannah nodded.

Leon's eyes glimmered with cold light that spelled danger.

He glanced at the men standing next to him. Without hesitation, he ordered curtly, "Cut off both his hands."

After that, he picked Hannah up and carried her gently in his arms. "I'll take you to the hospital."

Having said that, he turned around with Hannah.

Several men in black quickly followed him.

They escorted Leon and Hannah to a black Bentley parked across the road. Once there, they opened a door to the backseat.

Leon placed Hannah in first, and then entered the car from the other side.

One of the men in black quickly got into the driver's seat and turned on the engine.

The car began moving at a slow

pace. As it glided the road, Hannah

turned to Leon with a small frown.

"Thank you... If it weren't for you, I have no idea what would've O happened to me." noveldrama.org

Leon shrugged nonchalantly. “It's all in a day's work."NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Then, his face suddenly became serious.

He closed his arms around Hannah and pulled her into a tight, affectionate hug. “Hannah... I won't ever let you leave me sight ever again.”

Through the days spent apart, Leon finally realized how important Hannah was to him.
