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
They then walked out of the airport. Zayn was planning on returning with them, but Faye rolled her eyes at him and said in a displeased tone, “There’s no seat for you in the car. Get yourself a cab.”Zayn was slightly astounded. He pointed at the car in front of him and said, “There are five seats in the car and there are four of us in total. How is there no seat for me?”Shaelyn puffed up her chest and said, “There’s no seat for you because we said so. Why? Do you have any objections?”“Uh… Aren’t you here to pick me up? What’s going on?” Zayn said while rolling his eyes. Faye shoved him away and said, “What’s with all the chit-chat? Get yourself a cab quickly. We still have many things to go over with Anna. Alright then. They regarded her as Anna now. Seeing how close the three women had become, Zayn wondered if he was the mistress at one point. He shook his head. There was nothing else that he could say so he muttered, “Damn it,” to himself before he hailed a cab and left
Over at Zayn’s side, he had no idea what the three women talked about in specifics, but he figured out that Faye and Shaelyn must have been asking Annabelle about the history of their relationship. Moreover, based on their attitude, he could tell that Faye and Shaelyn had already accepted Annabelle. They agreed to include Annabelle as part of their agreement. Zayn felt rather delighted about that. As it happened, his attraction toward the opposite gender grew as his martial arts skill increased. He would always end up attracting women without even trying. Still, he was not a merciless man. For example, he found it difficult for him to reject Annabelle’s love. Since Faye and Shaelyn were willing to accept Annabelle, it was great because it would spare him quite a lot of trouble. In truth, he did not have feelings for Annabelle. He did not find her repulsive, but it was Annabelle who was head over heels in love with him. As for what happened next, he decided that he would j
He suddenly realized that his eyes felt dry when he was about to speak again. He rubbed his eyes instinctively, yet when he opened his eyes once again, he discovered that the man before him had vanished!He was startled and hastily looked toward the inside of the base only to find that Zayn had already entered and was walking inside leisurely. He was so startled that he hastily sounded the alarm without any hesitation to inform the special agents inside about the incoming enemy. All at once, the piercing sound of the alarm echoed through all of Insurgent Trifecta and all the members were alerted in just a few moments. Many people came swarming out and behaved as if they were confronting a formidable enemy. “How dare someone barge into the Insurgent Trifecta? I can see that he’s trying to get himself killed!”“I’d like to see who this bold person is!”“Let’s all head outside to see. If it’s an enemy, my weapon will never show mercy to him!”Zayn furrowed his brows ever so slight
