Despite his father-in-law’s continued silence, Zayn could tell from his astonished expression that he was right. Without the slightest hesitation, he pulled out his phone and began to call Shaelyn. She soon picked up and sounded surprised. “Is that you, Zayn? You’re back?”She seemed delighted, but Zayn soon noticed a tinge of guilt in her voice as well.It further confirmed his speculation. He nodded and said, “Yes, I’m back. Where are you, Shaelyn? Can you come over to Barrow Cove?”Shaelyn felt even more guilty upon hearing Zayn’s tone. She said, “Uh, Zayn, I’m sorry, but I’m still tied up with some work here and I won’t be able to come over. I…”Before she could finish her sentence, Zayn interrupted her by saying, “Shaelyn, I know that something bad has happened to Fifi. Who abducted her?”Just as he expected, Shaelyn had a massive reaction upon hearing that, and Zayn could hear her drop her phone. He could tell how she was losing her composure. After a while, Shaelyn sp
Zayn took a while to recover from his surprise and said, “Biological father? What’s that supposed to mean? Isn’t Waine Fifi’s biological father?”As he spoke, he turned around and took a glance at Waine. The man looked devastated. Zayn suddenly realized just how much had occurred during his absence. Moreover, Faye had hid quite a few things from him!At the other end of the line, Shaelyn said, “Zayn, it’s going to take a while to explain everything, and I’d rather not do it on the phone. We should find an opportunity for everyone to sit down and talk about this together.”At that point, Shaelyn knew that she would not be able to hide the matter from Zayn, so it would be better for her to give him every detail. Zayn pondered for a moment before he nodded and agreed. Afterward, he asked his mother-in-law about it and learned that it had already been a day since Faye was taken. One day…It had only been a day…Zayn felt even more regret upon hearing that. If he had know
Zayn could not help feeling emotional as he thought about how quickly time had passed. Still, he could not keep the smile from his lips as memories flooded his mind. Even though his life was not always so comfortable, he felt a different kind of happiness when he thought about it. Before he knew it, Faye had become the most important person in his life. He could lose the whole world but not he could never lose her!Zayn would never allow anyone to take Faye from him. It did not matter who her biological father was or how powerful he was!Zayn stayed in the room looking at the decorations and objects in there. Every item carried a memory shared between him and Faye. He never knew how intertwined their lives had become, and he could not imagine how terrible his life would be without her. Without his beloved, what did it mean to be formidable enough to dominate the world?Half an hour passed. Zayn placed the photo of him and Faye back down. He walked out of the room in silence
“Live broadcast? What kind of live broadcast?”Zayn was completely stunned upon hearing her words. How could there be a live broadcast when he was in Shangri-la?In addition, there were only twenty of them when they entered Shangri-la in the beginning and he was one of them. In their final battle, there was no one else there other than King Erik and himself. How could there be a live broadcast?Hence, the first thought coming into his mind was that his mother was teasing him. Nevertheless, Hayley said, “That’s right. There was a live broadcast. A mysterious website suddenly popped up some time ago. It posted about a live broadcast of Shangri-la, offering to let people watch the battle for a high price. At first, no one believed it was real, but then someone made the first payment. When it turned out the broadcast was showing the situation there live, it created a worldwide sensation. Across the world, more and more people paid to watch the broadcast.”Shaelyn and Lysithea nodded
At that point, Zayn felt his heart sink. It was not because he was worried about going against the world and becoming a target. It was because he knew that the more renowned he was, the more danger Faye was in and even the people around him could be at risk as well. Everyone assumed that he was scared upon noticing his silence. Lysithea said, “Don’t worry about it, Zayn. We won’t burden you.”Turning toward her, he shook his head and said, “That’s not what I’m concerned about.”Zayn recovered from his surprise and looked at his mother grimly. He asked, “Mom, it’s time for you to tell me who abducted Fifi.”Hayley avoided Zayn’s gaze upon hearing that. Rather than revealing the truth, she heaved a sigh and said, “There’s no need for you to be worried about this. The man who took Fifi was her biological father. He won’t hurt her, and she might just come back by herself after some time.”Next to her, Shaelyn said, “That’s right. The man who took Fifi was her biological father. A fat
Zayn said it in a very convincing manner, his expression filled with unprecedented sincerity and confidence. He was not boasting. He was just genuinely confident enough to make such a claim.Firstly, he did consume a hundred fruits. That alone was a record that had never been approached and most likely never would be. As a result, his power had increased by a hundredfold!Secondly, he fought against invincibilis fighters like Evilasius and Adam before he headed to Shangri-la and he knew how powerful they were. As such, in his current state, he knew he had already far surpassed ordinary invincibilis fighters. That was the source of his confidence!He refused to believe that Faye’s biological father could be the most powerful man on Earth. On the other hand, Hayley was stunned for a moment upon hearing that before she lost her composure and shouted, “What did you say, Zayn? Did you say that you consumed a hundred fruits?”Lysithea’s eyes widened in astonishment. Even though she
They figured that he would have turned immortal right away.They could not refrain themselves from exchanging glances and saw the hopefulness in each other’s eyes. Since Zayn consumed a hundred fruits and his power had risen to a terrifying extent, perhaps it was possible for him to save Faye!Zayn cracked a smile at the sight of their reactions and said, “Mom, Lysithea, you can tell me the truth now, right?”Lysithea was about to speak when Hayley beat her to it. “It’s not the right time yet, I’ll tell you when it is. It’ll be better for you to manage your own affairs first now.”“Mom?” Zayn was flustered immediately. However, Hayley said in a determined manner, “It’s been decided. I’ll tell you when the time is right, but for now, you must do your best to stabilize your skills, Zayn. I understand that you love Faye very much and can’t stand seeing her being wrongfully treated, but your own safety is equally important, okay? If you were to try to save Fifi rashly now, I wouldn
There were more than ten thousand members of Insurgent Trifecta, all hot-blooded, powerful youths. All of them stood together and called out with roaring voices like a rolling thunder!People could hear it from fifty kilometers away.It was so loud that it filled the sky. They stood before Zayn in an orderly manner and stared at him with admiration. He was their idol, the goal that they would spend their lives pursuing. Even though Zayn seldom returned to Insurgent Trifecta, they learned about so many of his achievements. Moreover, he was an official member of Insurgent Trifecta in their hearts!Zayn was visibly moved upon witnessing the scene. Even though he was a formidable invincibilis fighter now, his original purpose had never changed. He was still the same passionate person he was in the past. In his heart, he was Rheasian, born and bred, and he had a strong sense of patriotism. He felt a warmth at the sight of these special agents from Insurgent Trifecta standing befo
