Zayn stared at her nonchalantly. “My mission is completed. It’s time for me to go home.”“No, you can’t! You’re supposed to keep me safe! I… I’m still in danger! You can’t abandon me just yet!”Liam, Dick, and the rest watched the budding exchange between the two, and took notice of the anxiety etched on Marissa’s face. It was completely antagonistic to her normal demeanor to be so worried and impassioned, so it was only a matter of seconds before cocked brows and suggestive smiles shadowed their faces.They were certain that something salacious had happened between them!“There will be other agents to fill my role.”Seeing Zayn was about to leave again alarmed Marissa even more. It was an unprecedented feeling—one not born out of her sudden timidity, but because she was on foreign land. It did not help that all of her bodyguards were dead either. Plus, Captain Horton, the man she had relied so heavily upon, had lost all of his powers as well.Of course, she was also utterly mesm
As they were speaking in Rheasian, Marissa found herself excluded from the conversation. She stared at the men talking amongst themselves, eyes wide with confusion.Liam and the rest of the group froze. Before they could offer any form of response, Zayn chimed in, “Well, that’s about it. There aren't going to be any more assassins coming for her life, so just deploy any other agent to take over from here; she’ll be fine. I’m out.”And that was it. He vanished into thin air, as if he had teleported away and into the vegetation that surrounded them.Marissa had watched him slip through the cracks of her hand. She found herself left with no choice but to stomp her feet in embarrassed indignance.…Zayn was finally heading home. It felt great to be back.Before he knew it, he had been gone for half a month—his longest time being separated from Faye ever. He had never yearned for her so much before, ever!Absence made the heart grow fonder, and Zayn was certain that he was fonder tha
“What kind of party, exactly?” Zayn questioned once more.“I’m not sure,”” Faye replied, “Jane didn’t exactly say. All she told me was that, ‘It’s going to be quite the experience’, and that it’s tomorrow night.”“Are you… close with her at all?”Faye considered the solemness in his complexion and chuckled. “God, Zayn, what’s with the seriousness? Are you worried that Jane’s out to get me?”“That’s not what I meant,” he explained. “I just thought it wouldn’t kill to be a little more prudent.”Faye grabbed his hand and laced their fingers together. “Don’t fret, sweetie. I’ve known Jane since elementary school. She’s from a good family, and she’s decently well-off. She’s always been an upstanding, highly-motivated kind of girl. Now, she’s founded a company with her husband on a completely legal trade. She’s not gonna hurt me.”Zayn nodded as he listened. If that was what Faye thought, then he supposed he did not need to interrogate her any further. He could just call Sean when he w
All of a sudden, Zayn realized that something was off. He sat upright abruptly, clutching Faye’s shoulder as he stared at Faye with his sharp eyes. He asked, “Tell me, Fifi, is something going on, is anybody threatening you?”At that very moment, Zayn exuded an intense aura from his body that was as deep as the abyss. His presence spread through the entire room and caused the ambience to shift into one of a colosseum’s. It was very terrifying. Faye’s mind went blank instantly and she was panting for breath!Zayn hastily retracted his terrifying presence and wrapped his arms around Faye. He said, “Fifi, what’s going on? Did someone from Sicut In Caelo come look for you?”Zayn clenched his teeth. He was absolutely fuming. His expression was filled with bloodthirst. He was currently under the assumption that people from Sicut In Caelo had come looking for Faye. They had likely threatened Faye, and that was why Faye made the disconcerting remark!As a couple who had been married for
Zayn was unaware of it at all. Faye had already returned to her normal self by the time Zayn was done taking the shower. She took a shower as well so she could wash away any traces of the previous Faye; she was back! Even the ever-sensitive Zayn could not tell the difference.It did not take long before Waine and Ruby had returned home. They were very delighted to see Zayn home. They made sure to catch up with Zayn, and it was especially important because it had been a while.They had already lost any ill feelings they had towards Zayn, and treated Zayn like their precious son-in-law. In fact, they treated Zayn better than Faye sometimes. There were a few occasions where Faye was a little jealous of Zayn. After learning that Zayn was coming back, Ruby and Waine headed to the farmer’s market to pick out many of Zayn's favorite ingredients so that they could cook him a scrumptious dinner feast. Zayn enjoyed the feeling of warmth and happiness very much. The feeling was so powerful
There was an essence of life inside the body of every human being. Though, there was no way to test for the essence of life with current technology. It was something that only a person of Zayn’s level could sense. When a person began martial arts training, other than improving his ability to fight and his intelligence, another important stride was the increase of one’s essence. The more essence there lay in a person, the longer the person’s life span would become.Take Zayn for example—his essence of life was much thicker than an ordinary person’s! With the essence of life inside him now, he would be able to live healthily until the age of 150 at the very least, and perhaps even longer!If human beings did not have to consume more essence the longer they lived, the essence inside Zayn’s body was sufficient for a thousand years of living!It was impossible for a person to live up to 1000 years old, of course. The person would not be a human anymore, instead a demon.As for the rea
In Zayn’s eyes, Revitalizol was already an extraordinary medicine that helped Lil Hyde recover within a short period of time after sustaining lethal injuries. On the other hand, Lil Hyde was telling him that there was another more precious item in 897, whose value far surpassed Revitalizol. It was hard for him not to be interested. Lil Hyde inhaled a deep breath and said, “Frankly, I’m not too sure about the name of the precious item. A few centuries ago, it was known as Pomona’s Pear, and in the few recent centuries, it was known as Ambrosia’s Fruit. In the west, it’s known as Earth’s Teardrop, while in our Sicut In Caelo, it is known as Aeon Karpos. The extent of its preciousness is something that Revitalizol can never match!”Pomona’s Pear, Ambrosia’s Fruit, Earth’s Teardrop, Aeon Karpos?Zayn was immediately stunned by the names of the particular item. Why did it sound so unreal, like it was from a fantasy world?“What the heck is that?” asked Zayn with a frown. Lil Hyde sai
Lil Hyde, who had the moniker of Waltz City’s underworld king, was in charge of more than half of the gray area in the world. However, he still behaved himself and treated Lysithea with respect and admiration that stemmed from the bottom of his heart. Lysithea nodded gently and said, “It has another name known as Makrozoia Pome.”“Hmmm?”Her statement came out of nowhere, so it stunned Zayn momentarily. He came to realize that Lysithea had joined in on Lil Hyde’s conversation. Moreover, judging by Lysithea’s tone, could it be that the fruit actually existed?Zayn immediately asked, “Does a miraculous fruit like that truly exist? What sort of principles is it based upon? What laws does it obey?”Lysithea knowingly avoided Zayn’s eyes. She shifted her gaze away before she said nonchalantly, “I don’t know about the principles, but the fruit does exist. Plus, it’ll reach its maturation period this year, and many forces already have their eyes set on it. By then, it’s going to turn
