However, Annabelle was overwhelmed by the feelings in her heart!After what had just happened, she found the man before her to be very familiar, especially his posture, mannerisms, and voice. He was so similar to the man that was constantly on her mind!As a result, she stared straight at him as if she was ignoring everything else in the world and he was all that she could see. On the other hand, Zayn was at a loss as to whether to laugh or cry after sensing Annabelle’s gaze. He could tell that she had most probably recognized him, and it seemed that her longing for him was beyond salvageable. Zayn could not be bothered to make small talk, so he said to Mr. Donough straightforwardly, “I’m taking her. You’re not allowed to have business dealings with her from now on.”Mr. Donough had no plans to object or resist, so he nodded repeatedly. “Yes, yes, yes! I promise that I won’t do anything that involves her from now on! It’s my fault for doing this. I hope that you will show your m
Zayn was stunned for a moment upon hearing that.Annabelle quickly made her way to him and looked him in the eyes. Her eyes were filled with longing and tears but also determination. She was convinced that the man before her was Zayn!Mr. Donough was still on the ground when he heard that. His pupils constricted abruptly and his eyes widened in surprise. He blurted aloud, “Zayn? You’re Zayn Larson! You’re the supreme powerhouse who killed Adam a few days ago!”When Mr. Donough said that, his tone was highly agitated and panic-stricken!Yes, he could confirm that the man before him was certainly Zayn Larson. Only Zayn could toy with him so much that he could not fight back at all!After all, Zayn was the supreme powerhouse from the common world. He was one of the most powerful people out there and could even defeat an ultra powerful Level-1 invincibilis fighter like Adam!In addition, Zayn was around the same age as the man before him, so he was quite convinced that they were on
He was very flustered and terrified. He was still rather calm when he had been defeated by Zayn, but now, he was overwhelmed!His mind was working at full speed as he watched Zayn being hugged by Annabelle. He wondered if he should seize the opportunity to make a run for it.Maybe Zayn would not be able to go after him immediately because Annabelle was hugging him? Would that give him a slim chance of survival?However, as soon as the idea came to him, he raised his head and saw Zayn meeting his eyes. He could see the mischievousness in Zayn’s gaze immediately and it was apparent that the man knew what he was planning. There was obvious mockery in Zayn’s gaze that showed that he would certainly cripple Mr. Donough if he were to run. His body shook violently and he then hastily lowered his head so he could stop looking at Zayn’s eyes. Without question, Zayn would catch him if he were to run. Besides, even if he were able to run away, Annabelle’s team knew his identity and coul
Zayn heaved a sigh and felt even more helpless. He loathed his damned luck with women!Indeed, he could no longer see it as luck but a curse.There were more women who had feelings for him than he could count with his fingers. He was not an amorous person, so it was a torment for a man like him.It was fortunate that no one could read his mind. Otherwise, they would begrudge him for sure. There were countless men who could not get a wife, yet he was surrounded by all sorts of beautiful women constantly that countless men would die for. It was different for him because it only brought trouble. He found the situation to be rather awkward, so it was fortunate that Mr. Donough broke the tension. “It turns out that you’re Mr. Larson, sir. I’m a big fan of yours! I watched the entire broadcast of your battle against Adam. It was my fault for being too blind to recognize the great man before me. I hope that you will show mercy to me and please don’t lower yourself to my level! I sw
Zayn felt his heart racing. He guessed correctly that the man had an ulterior motive. He remained indifferent as he continued to ask, “What sort of intel are you gathering?”Mr. Donough said, “Just learning about the ideologies of the common world. It’s the task assigned to me by my superior, but I don’t know what the specific purpose is.”Zayn said with a spurious smile, “In my opinion, you’re gathering the intel so that the club can prepare to invade the common world in the future, right?”Zayn spoke nonchalantly, but Mr. Donough was extremely shocked. He was so astounded that he blurted out, “How did you know?”As soon as he said it, he realized that he had made a slip of the tongue. His expression changed, and he hastily tried to backtrack, saying, “No, no. You’re overthinking things, sir. Our club’s world has been on good terms with the common world for so many years. We mind our own businesses, so why would we try to invade?”He responded swiftly and tried to sound convinc
The act of killing Mr. Donough was trivial for Zayn. He patted Annabelle’s shoulder and said, “Alright. It’s fine now, you’re safe. Let go of me.”Annabelle nodded obediently. She finally removed herself from Zayn’s embrace willingly, but she kept her arms wrapped around one of his like a shy timid maiden. Zayn could only let out a bitter chuckle at her dependence on him. He then said to everybody else, “Leave right now if you don’t want to die.”Those of Mr. Donough’s subordinates that still remained exerted every ounce of strength they had to run away.They had just experienced a narrow escape.Rose recovered from her surprise and forced a smile on her face. She walked over and said with a sweet, flattering smile, “So it turns out that you’re the renowned chairman of the Larson Group. I’ve heard so much about you and our Annabelle is tremendously blessed to be acquainted with you.”Zayn did not reply to Rose’s flattery with a smile nor did he assume a kind expression. He said
Zayn was rendered speechless. It seemed that Annabelle would not be convinced no matter how he tried to persuade her, so he decided that he would contemplate further when they were back in Rheasia. This time, Annabelle joined Zayn on the trip back to Rheasia. The journey took five hours before they landed at the airport in Waltz City. It had been three months since Zayn had left Waltz City, which was not that long.However, so much had happened in that period that Zayn felt like it had been ages, and he felt delighted to be back home. Even the air in Waltz City seemed to smell sweeter. Zayn noticed two familiar silhouettes as soon as he walked out of the airport. Both were calling out to him loudly, stunning him instantly. The two women were Faye and Shaelyn. They had come to welcome him home!The two women were so alluring that even if they were wearing shades, countless people were charmed by the sight of them. They looked like goddesses. Zayn felt warm and fuzzy when
She said it in an extremely humble manner, her eyes red with tears and filled with guilt, shame, and anxiety. She looked especially pitiful. Faye and Shaelyn still had teasing expressions on their faces, but they immediately smiled bitterly at the sight of Annabelle’s pitiful demeanor. They glanced at each other and let out a bitter chuckle. Shaelyn empathized with Annabelle because that was how she used to be. She did not expect that Annabelle would be a new addition… Hence, she glared at Zayn ferociously. It was all Zayn’s fault for flirting with women everywhere! He was so charming that women would always fall for him!In reality, she could not bring herself to hate Annabelle because she was just the same as her. They were both victims. Faye gave Zayn a hard pinch and said in an unpleasant tone, “Look at what you’ve done!”Zayn was all confused. What was going on? He was supposed to be the innocent one. He had never had any feelings for Annabelle from the start. She to
