Now that his mother’s life was in danger, there was only one path ahead that he could take. No matter how difficult it was, he would brace it. If something bad were to happen to his mother, he would spend the rest of his life in regret. Lil Hyde fell silent. He could feel Zayn’s emotions. Moreover, he had a mother too, so he could fully comprehend Zayn’s feelings. “Alright, I’ll tell you…” said Lil Hyde softly with a slightly sorrowful and helpless gaze in his eyes. He looked at Zayn as if he was looking at a man already hanging by a thread. However, there was nothing he could do to stop Zayn and he could not reject Zayn either. Zayn cracked a smile. In truth, he was well aware that his trip would be filled with so much danger that it was equivalent to him having the slimmest chance of survival. However, he had to do it even if that was the case一he had no other choice. Since that was the case, he could only accept the circumstances. He was relieved to finally learn the
“However, I reckon that the people in our circle will notice that something bad has happened to me if I don’t show up over a long time. I’m certain that they will attempt to strike at the Larson Group. By then, you must sell off the shares at a discounted rate in advance and give my portion to my family members. You must also look for somewhere to hide so that you can stay out of the limelight temporarily.”Zayn’s expression was very serious; he did not appear to be joking at all. Yet, the three of them felt a chill in their hearts and were overwhelmed with melancholy after hearing that. One should know that Zayn had never briefed them on subsequent affairs like this when he was planning on seizing the ambrosia fruit on Mount Leo previously. On the other hand, he chose to brief them this time, so they could imagine the extent of the danger he would be facing this time. They knew that Zayn would only have a slim chance of survival and that it was far more dangerous than the previou
It was already night by the time he met Faye. It was drizzling, and she was standing under the roof of the building dressed in a formal suit. She stood straight, slim and graceful like a crocus flower blooming all alone on the snowy mountains, ice-cold yet elegant. Without exception, every passerby was mesmerized by the sight of her. For so long, Faye had been incredibly attractive, and her reputation as the prettiest woman in Waltz City was not for naught. Zayn felt as if he had returned to the time when they had first met years ago. Back then, he had been disowned by his family and homeless. He was in such despair that he wanted to commit suicide at one point. It was Faye who showed up in his life and saved him. Her presence gave him a reason to live. He could still remember how charmed he was during their first encounter. Time zipped by and he was no longer that shallow man from the past. Soon enough, Faye noticed him. Her cold face bloomed with joy as she cracked a sm
“Hmm.” Zayn nodded. Faye paused for a moment and said, “Alright, be careful.” She knew Zayn and she was certain her mother-in-law must be in danger. That could be the only reason Zayn would risk his life to go there. As his wife, no matter how unwilling she was, she could not allow herself to dissuade Zayn under such circumstances and burden him with more worries.Zayn’s lips moved ever so slightly. He could read Faye’s thoughts and knew that she behaved this way out of concern for him. He could only hug her tightly and tell her affectionately, “I’ll be back safely.”“Hmm! I trust you!” Faye nodded strenuously and cracked a sweet smile. Zayn smiled as well, and they fell asleep holding each other. Faye discovered that Zayn was no longer by her side when she woke up the next day. She stretched herself lazily and found a note on Zayn’s pillow that said, ‘Fifi, there’s a slim chance of survival for me when I visit the headquarters of Sicut In Caelo. If I’m not back in a week, it
Zayn took a deep breath and boldly walked into the forest. The further he ventured, the more he discovered the area was not as simple as it seemed. From the moment he entered the place, he could feel that someone was watching him, their eyes locked on him constantly. Moreover, his stalker was a highly skilled master fighter. Zayn pretended not to notice and continued to walk ahead. He concealed his presence and had dressed in plain clothes that made him appear to be a backpacker hoping to tour the location. He was overwhelmed with emotion when he came, and countless thoughts raced through his mind. However, he found he had calmed down as soon as he stepped on the ground there, and his mind regained its clarity. It was because there was nothing else for him to get upset about anymore. At that point, there was only one path ahead of him, and his sole focus was to continue walking down it. Even if he failed to embark on that path, he would never regret taking it, because at
One of the bewildered young men in the group spoke, his eyes wide. Seeing Zayn’s outfit, they assumed he was an amateur with a death wish!Zayn did not want to delay, so he nodded and said nonchalantly, “I’m different from the rest of you.”He was not lying, but his remark sounded wildly arrogant and ignorant to the ears of the backpackers. One of the men immediately said contemptuously, “Surely you don’t think you’re a skilled professional, do you? This is Pineforest, so renowned for its harsh environment that even the local huntsmen need to exercise caution when they hunt here.”There was a woman among them who seemed to be more considerate than the rest. She said, “Sir, perhaps this is your first time in Pineforest and you’re unaware of the dangers? The terrain is extremely harsh, and on our way here, we encountered a wild boar and a leopard that were especially ferocious. Had it not been for our state-of-the-art equipment, we would have already been injured by now… Oh, and where
There were more than ten wolves in the pack, and they were slowly approaching the group from the front. They were so large that even in the bright daylight and the dim forest, one could see the killer instinct in their ice-cold eyes.The eight explorers were terrified and immediately panicked. Their faces turned ghastly pale as if they were confronted by a formidable enemy. Even though they came fully equipped and had weapons in their hands, they were still ordinary people after all. Moreover, three of them were women. If they were to encounter one or two ferocious wolves, they stood a chance, but this was an entire pack. Moreover, the wolves were bigger than any they had ever encountered!They felt a shiver run down their spines as they held their breath. Their bodies shook violently and their legs trembled. “What…what should we do now? We’re not at the most dangerous part of the forest yet, are we? Why is there a pack of wolves here?” The young man who showed contempt for Zayn
“You must be out of your mind provoking the wolf packs at this point!”The explorers were convinced Zayn was trying to make things worse by getting them eaten by wolves even faster.Zayn furrowed his brows ever so slightly. He did not unleash too much of his power and only assumed the stance of an acquired fighter, hoping that it was enough to scare the group of animals away. However, his efforts only provoked them even more. They were at the peripheral area of Sicut In Caelo’s headquarters. If he were to take the stance of a master fighter, he would certainly be discovered by the master fighters in Sicut In Caelo, so it was not worth the risk.Given that, he could only drive away the animals by brute force. He turned and said to the explorers, “All of you, stand here and don’t move.”He then strode forward, looking like he was about to engage the beasts in a battle to the death.His actions stunned the group of intrepid backpackers. The beautiful woman could not keep herself
