“Are you alright, madam?” a female subordinate asked out of concern. Faye was jolted back to reality. Nodding, she stood up and said to the others, “Proceed with the meeting.”With that, she left the meeting room right away. The rest of the people found her departure strange, but they did not think too much about it. Zayn alone had the final say in the Larson Group and Faye was his wife. Hence, Faye held an exceedingly high status in the company and no one had the courage to disrespect her. Faye let out a long breath after she left the meeting room and began massaging her temples, her expression troubled. She felt mentally and physically exhausted. Her mind had been so tense recently, and she felt like she was suffocating. Her nightmares were recurring more and more frequently to the point that she would experience one almost every night. In fact, she was so scared of the nightmare that she dared not sleep with Shaelyn. It was not that she did not trust Shaelyn, but she
Faye inhaled a deep breath and forced herself to smile because she did not wish to let Shaelyn see her disheveled state. Hence, she said with a grin, “I’m fine, just a little tired from work.”She had hid it well, yet how could she keep it from Shaelyn?Shaelyn’s expression turned solemn upon seeing Faye. She made her way to her, staring straight at her, and said, “Is the situation getting worse?”Still smiling, Faye avoided her gaze and said, “Nope. It’s pretty good.”“Don’t lie to me, Fifi. Your eyes have already given you away! I’m sure that the situation is getting worse. Did the man find you?” Shaelyn grabbed Faye’s hand and said in all apparent seriousness, “Don’t hesitate anymore. You have to tell Zayn. Otherwise, you won’t be able to pull through if you continue like this.”“I’m fine.” Faye shook her head and continued to force her smile. As it happened, Faye's smile only turned Shaelyn even more serious and worried. “Fifi, don’t try to deceive me. You didn’t share a roo
Shaelyn was panic-stricken by the sight of Faye, yet there was nothing she could do. It was fortunate that Faye’s condition was not as bad as before. Her icy cold body was warming up slowly and her face was not as ghastly pale as before Still, Shaelyn remained extremely worried about her even if that was the case. It was because she knew that Faye was already in grave trouble, and she could not allow this to continue anymore. Even so, it would be inappropriate for Shaelyn to make a decision by herself since Faye had already said otherwise. If anything were to happen because of her choice, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life. “What should we do then, Fifi? You can’t keep this going forever. Your health is worsening by the day and if this continues, it won't be long until your body stops working!” Shaelyn said anxiously, “Zayn and you have been married for so many years and you have yet to bear a child for Zayn yet. You must hang on!”Faye’s body shook violently upon
The person who spoke earlier was his fellow trainee, Javier. Javier looked at King Erik, his eyes filled with admiration and idolization. It was only when he lowered his head that there was jealousy hidden in the depths of his gaze. He would not have the courage to show that to King Erik, of course. King Erik was a senior to him, so he had been overshadowed by him and had become his sidekick. Next to him, Bolt said emotionally, “You’re so fast, Erik. You make us desperate. We’ve been chasing after you our whole lives l, yet not only have we not caught up to you, the distance between us is becoming greater!”Gautama shook his head and said, “Erik, it’s our misfortune for being born at the same time as you.”The others supported his statement. Yes, it was unlucky to be born at the same time as King Erik because they were destined to be his sidekicks. Every single one of them was an outstanding genius and could be leading figures at any moment, yet they paled in comparison
Their expressions were extremely solemn, yet Javier was very scornful. He furrowed his eyebrows and said to Bolt and Gautama in contempt, “Both of you are cowards. You’re boosting Zayn’s reputation while scaring yourself. He’s just a measly fool, so how can both of you be scared of him to this extent?”Bolt and Gautama did not speak, but they looked toward King Erik. King Erik said, “It seems that Zayn is impressive indeed since both of you look upon him so highly.”Javier said, “Heh-heh. No matter how impressive he is, how can he be compared to you, Erik? There are also countless powerhouses in our Big Four, and when we band together to invade the common world, they will be too weak to fight back. Just a measly Zayn, he can’t possibly affect anything.”The others had the same thinking as well. They agreed with Javier’s statement, and at the same time, they put in more effort to suck up to King Erik. Javier paused for a moment before he said, “In my view, Zayn won’t be able to a
King Erik smiled nonchalantly and said, “It shouldn’t be much of an issue. The act of consuming ten fruits altogether will ensure that I reach the most powerful level of the invincibilis state.”Everyone felt so far behind King Erik that they could never catch up upon hearing that. Even if they had ten fruits, they would not have the courage to consume all at one go because it would probably get them killed. Next, they chatted for a while more. Just as they were preparing to leave, they looked in one direction all of a sudden. The sound of running footsteps could be heard coming. Soon, two people showed up. One of them was fat and one of them was skinny. They were in a disheveled state. It was Fatso and Scrag. They were immediately stunned for a moment to find King Erik and so many others here. Then, they expressed their excitement and said, “Save us, Erik!”They ran toward King Erik with pleading expressions. King Erik and the others were astonished by their manner. They w
Even King Erik’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed now. It was the first time his countenance changed so drastically. Yes, even he was astonished. It was because he knew how powerful Fatso and Scrag were. Even though Fatso and Scrag did not rank high in the Olympian list, they were step brothers and were trained by the same teacher. They were skilled in performing a powerful joint attack technique that allowed them to join hands and utilize their powers to the max. They could be powerful enough to kill an invincibilis fighter. Even King Erik would need to put in great effort in order to defeat Fatso and Scrag when they joined hands. Yet now, Zayn had actually defeated them?Moreover, they appeared to be in a very disheveled state. It was obvious that Scrag had been injured severely and that astonished King Erik very much. Javier’s pupils constricted. Then, he assumed a furious expression and berated them right away, “That’s impetuous of you! How dare you lie to Erik! Zayn is ju
Scrag nodded and said, “It’s all true. If you don’t believe us, you may examine the injuries on my body, Erik.”Hence, he pulled up his shirt to reveal his injuries to everyone. Just as expected, everyone began to change their countenance after examining Scrag’s injuries because his injuries were not feigned.Hence, they had no choice but to believe that Zayn was very powerful indeed. Moreover, Zayn was very insolent too!King Erik’s gaze turned icy cold and he let out a grunt. Even though he did not speak, everyone knew that his urge to kill Zayn was triggered. Over at Zayn’s side, he was still staying in Dilidaer’s tribe. It was because he defeated the evil leader such that the evil tribe would not be getting any ideas on Dilidaer’s tribe anymore. Hence, the entire tribe was very grateful to him and they worshiped him for being an unmatched warrior. Zayn stayed for a while, yet he still did not manage to locate the fruit. He felt slightly agitated in his heart about that.
