Lysithea’s arrival made the ambiance slightly awkward, so Zayn did not choose to continue to stay any longer. He bade farewell to Lil Hyde, then he took his leave. Aeon Karpos was very important and highly attractive to the seekers. However, Zayn was not so interested in it because he was already a master fighter. He did think about picking Aeon Karpos in the midst of the discussion so that he could give it to Faye. The Aeon Karpos could make an ordinary person make a breakthrough to become a master fighter and increase one’s life expectancy by at least a few decades. Its value was much costlier than Revitalizol by many times. However, he soon gave up the idea because there were way too many people who had their eyes set on Aeon Karpos this time. Moreover, there were great forces involved as well. There would undoubtedly be a number of master fighters sent out for the fruit, and perhaps there might even be super powerful final-class master fighters. If he were to seize it by forc
Standing by the side, Grayson immediately glared at Jane in displeasure, blaming her for having misspoken. He hastily stepped forward and said, “Miss Carter, Jane has really put her foot in her mouth. What she meant is that it’s been a very long time since all of you gathered together, and many people wish to meet you badly, thus we decided to throw a party for you.”Upon hearing that, Faye felt an ominous presentiment. However, she could not figure out what was specifically sinister about this event. Generally, neither would Jane do any harm to her nor did she have the motive to do so. Jane hastily said, “That’s right. I conveyed myself wrongly. This is what I actually mean. We haven’t seen each other for such a long time, and many of our old friends wish to meet you badly.”Faye smiled. She felt rather delighted to be able to meet many of her elementary school friends in the past, hence she did not ponder much on that anymore. Zayn would be coming over soon anyhow. She felt ext
Jane appeared to be pleasantly surprised immediately upon hearing Faye’s consent. Faye’s two female bodyguards immediately said, “Madam, Mr. Larson has ordered us to protect you at all times when he’s not around, and we’re not allowed to let you get out of our sight.”“That’s right, madam. We hope that you won’t make things difficult for us.”Faye became a little hesitant upon hearing the bodyguards’ remarks because Zayn had directed them to do so. She said in an awkward tone, “Jane, my husband did give them such orders. Why don’t I just let them in? They’re professional bodyguards, so they won’t disturb us anyway.” Jane’s expression immediately turned somber. She said in a displeased tone, “Fifi, what’s going on with you? It’s not easy for me to get you to attend a party at my place where so many of our old friends are gathered, yet you still insist on taking your bodyguards with you. I mean, don’t you trust us?”Faye hastily tried to explain herself, “Jane, you’ve misunderst
Faye had no choice but to acknowledge that Jane’s villa was rather huge and elegantly renovated. She was also very astonished to find that the doors and windows in the villa were all shut tightly and fully sealed. The air conditioning was set to a very low temperature, and Faye felt rather cold as soon as she stepped into the house. There were already quite a lot of people gathered in the living hall though the vast majority were unfamiliar faces. Moreover, both men and women sat together and engaged in intimate interaction. In fact, some had even gone overboard and were seen in compromising positions. As a result, Faye immediately furrowed her brows and became annoyed. “Jane, I thought you told me that the party tonight is mainly a reunion for our old friends. Why are there so many new faces amongst the crowd?”Jane held her hand and said with a grin, “These are all my good friends, and they’re very interesting people. Furthermore, the more, the merrier, right?”As soon as Faye
“Is that so? Thank you so much, Mr. Jones!” Jane cheered in excitement. She actually ignored Grayson, who was standing next to her, and wrapped her arms around Mr. Jones’ neck while she gave him a kiss.On the other hand, Grayson was not mad either. His face was similarly glowing with excitement. It was as if becoming a full-fledged member was something very impressive. This totally changed Faye’s outlook on life. She could never accept this reasoning!“Jane, h-how can you behave like this!?” Faye pointed at Jane, incredulous. Jane sniggered and said to Faye, “What’s wrong with me, huh?”“That’s right. What’s wrong with Jane? Tell us what you mean,” Grayson said as well.The other guests had also gathered around them as well. Their expressions were filled with mischief, and they were ridiculing Faye in all sorts of manners, including those old friends from her past. They behaved just like the others, and it infuriated Faye immensely!She finally figured out what sort of party
Mr. Jones had never taken his eyes off Faye’s body all this time. His eyes were glowing with a devious glint when he said, “Faye, the party tonight was thrown just for you. No one else has been given the honor before, and I’ll be the first to serve you. In fact, I’ll make sure to leave you with an unforgettable memory.”As he spoke, Mr. Jones stretched out his hand in an attempt to tilt Faye’s chin up rather frivolously. Faye immediately dodged it and scolded him in rage, “That’s outrageous of you! I’ll tell you, I won’t agree to partake in this debauchery even if it means that I have to die. It’s best for all of you to let me leave. Or else, all of you will be doomed by the time my husband arrives later!”Before the crucial juncture, Faye did not want to pull Zayn into the picture because she was always getting him into trouble. Mr. Jones immediately furrowed his brow and asked in a slightly fearful tone, “What is her husband’s background?”Jane immediately said in contempt, “F*c
Faye was very weak due to her health condition, so she could not stand having too many emotional triggers. Under such circumstances, she could immediately feel her heart racing and her strength ebbed away gradually while her body temperature dropped constantly as well. Sensing the changes in her, she was flabbergasted. She could feel her legs begin to buckle and she realized that her condition was exacerbated!She could feel her life draining away from her. If this were to continue, she would not be able to live much longer!The two women who seized her were startled by her condition. “Why did her body suddenly turn so cold?”“Her face is so pale. She can’t be having a heart attack, can she?”At that very moment, the rest of the crowd could see that something was off about Faye as well. They furrowed their brows in succession. Mr. Jones immediately turned his head to ask Jane, “What’s going on here? Don’t you dare tell me that she has a heart condition?!”Jane was stunned fo
“Fifi!”He let out a roar and vanished instantly. There were over 20 people at the scene, but no one saw his movements clearly. By the time he reappeared, he had already arrived before Faye. He knelt down and wrapped his arms around her. In that instant, he could feel the coldness radiating from Faye’s body and sense her life force draining from her body. She was in an unprecedentedly weakened condition!Zayn was panic-stricken. He had never lost it like he did today. In fact, he was even terrified. This was because he had never seen Faye in such a weakened condition before despite being acquainted with her for such a long time. Life was draining from her body continuously, and he could not figure out why she would be in this condition. Faye’s body was obviously still quite healthy, and she did not have any unhealthy lifestyle habits either. He immediately checked Faye’s pulse and noticed that there was nothing wrong with her heart rate. It was just that her body was in a weake
