Stanley Batton shook his head slightly, feeling equally confused.
"If you have any questions, you might as well ask me. What's the point of murmuring between you?" the voice said. "Xyla, my original plan was to torture you and Stanley adequately before killing you both.
"I wanted you to feel the pain of losing everyone important to you right before losing your life. I just never expected Sophie to appear out of the blue to take my life, leaving me in my spirit form to wander this world."
Fear began to spread through Xyla Quest. Her palms dampened with sweat instantly upon realizing the grave danger they were in.
They were only ordinary human beings whereas the nine-tailed demon fox proved to be a deadly adversary despite being in his spirit form.
"Where is this place? Are you going to kill us?" she asked boldly.
At this point, Xyla knew being fearful wouldn't solve anything. She had to face her fears head-on no matter what. So, she forced herself to remain calm.
"This is the pathway to hell," he answered. "Sophie wasn't the only one to strike a deal with a deity. I did that, too.
"I went to Hades before my time was up to offer him an ancient artifact in exchange for his help to bring you two here. He allowed me to kill you.
"You should be glad I am only in my spirit form. I can only cause trouble here but not back in the human realm. Otherwise, why would I get rid of you two so easily? Why would I let you die in peace?" the demon fox added.

His voice sounded firm without even the slightest hint of hesitation. It made Xyla feel so moved and loved.
People often say that a person's true colors are revealed during times of crisis.
She had never been more certain of how much he loved her until that very moment.
Stanley loved her deeply, even more than his own life.
She couldn't help but tear up at his words to the demon fox.
She moved to stand directly in front of the man she loved in an attempt to protect him. “No, let Stanley gò. Kill me if you want. I'm willing to pay any price," she declared confidently.
"Take whatever you think we are indebted to you from me. Let my husband go. You hate me, don't you? And you want us to have a taste of what it feels to loseContent held by NôvelDrama.Org.
everyone we love?
“If so, won't killing only one of us while leaving the other alive be more satisfying?
"It won't matter which one of us dies. The one who survives would forever be in pain. That is a much better revenge than killing both of us, don't you think?" she added.
