Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 603

Emily Quest turned around and found her reflection in the mirror. She looked battered and exhausted. That miserable figure was no better than a walking corpse...

The thought of the Weibo post regarding how happily Xyla Quest went to the concert with Josh Batton's family flashed across her mind. Hatred started to grow inside her like a tumor.

An intense feeling of weakness and powerlessness spread all over her body. Her legs wobbled and collapsed in the very next second.

Blood began to drip from her left wrist.

It was caused by Tom Sullivan's rude action earlier.

The burning, fiery pain pulled Emily back to her senses from her immense hatred, reminding her to take a look at her wrist.

When she saw the bloody wound, she immediately cried out at the door in fear. "Doctor... Doctor..."

On the other hand, after Georgie Clementine returned home and took a shower, she got into bed with her laptop. She then turned on her laptop and logged in to her favorite game, Heroes Assemble, intending to complete her daily tasks before going to sleep.

After logging in, she found out that she could not play because she had not updated the game.

Only then she remembered that the game had ushered in a new version. Without hesitation, she moved her mouse to click 'Update'.

She had seen the announcement about the new version before. In this version, a gang mission competition was added to the game.

Any gang which was above Level 10 could sign up for the competition.

After signing up, the gang mission competition would be activated every Friday.

The gang that completed the most missions in the system would be the winner of the competition.

Besides, the winning gang would receive a rare treasure chest.

The treasure chest could unlock numerous rare and helpful materials in the game.

About ten minutes later, the game was updated. Georgie could finally enter the game now.

"No.1 Counselor, Extraordinary Geo, has entered the game!" A huge banner welcoming her popped out on the screen.

Shortly, another large banner appeared on the screen again. "No.1 General, Cloud Piercer, has entered the game!"

Later, Could Piercer sent her an invitation to team up.

She gladly accepted the invitation.

Recently, Cloud Piercer would invite her to do tasks together or to play dungeon together as long as the two of them were online at the same time.

Georgie's account had leveled up by leaps and bounds because of him.

All the players in her region were pretty lame except for Cloud Piercer.

She had gradually gotten used to completing tasks and fighting monsters with him too.

Occasionally, she might even feel empty when she found out that he was not online.

Though she was aware that everything about this game was virtual, she could not believe that she actually had a thing for this guy she played with every day.

She fell in love with a virtual character in the game. How ridiculous!

In the next second, Cloud Piercer teleported and showed up in front of her.

He was still riding the Flying Dragon ride, but he had changed his outfit into a set of white robes, which billowed in the breeze.

Meanwhile, the gang she was in started to spam messages to her.

"Extraordinary Geo, can you ask Cloud Piercer to join our gang? I took a look at the forum just now. They said that the gang missions are going to get more and more difficult later on. If Cloud Piercer joins us, in addition to your skills, I'm sure we can complete all the missions..." said Invincible Gust, the guild leader.

"Geo, please help us..." pleaded Bella, the vice guild leader.

"Extraordinary Geo, you're the only one who can do this. Help us to ask him, okay?" added Mini Ghost.

"Alright," Georgie replied.

Suddenly, Cloud Piercer sent her a message in their chatroom. "Can I join your gang?"

Georgie's eyes overflowed with astonishment.

She had not even asked him about it yet. Was he requesting to join her gang now?

Or was he a mind reader?

"Sure..." She swiftly typed the word 'sure' and sent it back to him.

Then, she clicked on his character's profile and invited him to join her gang.
