Silence hushed through a crowd of hundreds of people. They held their breaths.Cara, who was taken aback by his sudden outburst, shuddered.Daryl was in a good mood just a millisecond before—humiliating Thomas really lightened up his general morale for the day. And then he had to be hit with the revelation that his car had been damaged badly. Of course his mood went for a nosedive!He had just bought the car last month. It cost him half of his allowance, and now someone crashed it. How could he not be enraged?Now, the underlying point behind his lividity was less because it was a BMW 525—it cost him a bit more than 8 thousand dollars, which was hardly unaffordable—and more because it dealt a huge blow to his ego. Everyone in this entire university knew that spot as Daryl’s specific spot for his ride! The fact that someone crashed his car kicked off his knee-jerk assumption that it was done explicitly to challenge his reign. Now that was unforgivable!No one dared to answer him. D
Zayn heaved a sigh in his heart. His brother-in-law was really terrifying. Daryl shifted his gaze from Thomas to Zayn. “It was you who hit my car?”When Daryl was sizing Zayn up, so was Zayn. Soon, he managed to generally figure out this man. He was a proud, arrogant rich kid who perpetrated evilness and tyranny in the university on usual days simply because his family was rich. “The accident has already happened. We can just file a report with the police and make an insurance claim,” said Zayn nonchalantly. Daryl chortled. “In that case, do you acknowledge that it was you who hit my car?”His smile was filled with gravity and threat besides being tinted with overbearingness. No wonder a protected, spoiled child like Thomas would fear him so much. However, what a waste that the person he encountered was Zayn who was naturally not startled by his presence. “So what if it was I who hit your car. Look at you. Are you going to beat me up?” Zayn chuckled meaningfully. Zayn was
Thomas was astounded. Soon after, he felt chills go down his spine and sprang up in fear. “You must be out of your mind!”Other than Thomas, the numerous onlookers assumed that Zayn was out of his mind as well. He was literally throwing his life away by making Thomas beat Daryl up. What else was he if not out of his mind?Daryl was stunned for a moment as well. Soon afterward, he sniggered aloud and looked toward Thomas with a bantering expression. He said, “Thomas, your brother-in-law is a rather interesting person. He has the courage to order you to beat me up, huh? Come, punch me in the face. I promise I won’t punch you back.”He leaned his face close to Thomas as a signal for the latter to punch him. He was behaving carelessly, yet his action only made Thomas fear him more. Thomas shuddered and could not muster the courage to beat Daryl up at all. “Punch me! Punch me if you can! I’m asking you to punch me. You’re not going to disrespect my wish, are you?!” All of a sudden, Dar
Cara, around whom he had his arms wrapped, was already infatuated. She screamed in her heart, ‘You’re so cool, Richmond!’Zayn looked toward Thomas and said with a rather peculiar expression, “Is this how you’re normally bullied by him?”Thomas clenched his teeth and refused to answer Zayn. However, his reaction had already revealed his answer. Zayn heaved a sigh and exclaimed emotionally, “All of you are still a bunch of snotty little brats anyhow. You’re naive, and you don’t understand that however things may be perfect, there will always be better ones. Do you think that you can do as you please just because your family is a little richer than average?”Everyone assumed that Zayn must have lost his mind. He was definitely an idiot who was so incapable of judging the situation that he had actually made such a statement. At once, Daryl scolded him, “You should be ashamed of yourself for doing this. Orson, Bull, go ahead and beat this deadbeat up, then capture Thomas for me. I’d l
Daryl stumbled backward. At that moment, he could feel the immense sense of dominance emanating from Zayn that surpassed his tolerance. Thomas rubbed his eye strenuously. Zayn’s power gave him hope. Zayn waved his hand at Thomas and called out to him. There was an indescribable overbearingness coming from Zayn that stirred up fear in Thomas for some reason. He did not dare to disobey, so he hastily got up from the ground and ran over to Zayn submissively. “Zayn, since when have you been so impressive? Even Orson and Bull are no match for you.”Thomas’s tone was tainted with flattery as he unleashed his sycophantic qualities. Zayn did not answer Thomas’s question but said directly, “However he bullied you, do the same to him.”Thomas glanced at Daryl and he was so terrified that he shook his head hastily, saying, “Forget it. Just forget it.”“Why? Are you scared?” said Zayn with a hint of mockery in his words. Thomas felt very reluctant. He stood upright instinctively in an
His offer got the crowd going right away, riling up the people surrounding them. Eight hundred and 1500 dollars were huge amounts of money for these university students who had yet to enter the workforce. It was enough for them to spend lavishly for one semester!They were completely ignoring the fact that they could be charged with assault. There were so many of them that it would be harder for them to be held accountable. Moreover, they were students, so they would be fine as long as they did not kill anyone. In addition, Daryl issued the challenge, so the blame would not focus on them. They could execute Daryl’s order without the slightest hesitation!As a result, many became excited all at once and charged toward Zayn and Thomas like a swarm of bees. Seeing the situation, Thomas was scared out of his wits. Zayn furrowed his brows ever so slightly. With a loud grunt, the aura emanating from his body underwent an immense change. He easily defeated the three students at the head
In the end, Thomas beat Daryl up. He experienced a sense of unprecedented delight and was pleased with the revenge!All this time, Daryl had always been the most powerful figure in university, plus he owned a group of lackeys, so no one had the audacity to disrespect him. As time passed, Daryl was seen as an undefeatable man in everyone’s perception. Everyone including Thomas thought so. However, he only realized how weak Daryl was after engaging in a fight with him earlier. It turned out that Daryl could be knocked down with one blow!“Did that feel good?” Zayn asked Thomas on their way home. The words escaped Thomas’s mouth as he said, “Really good! It felt absolutely great. I’ve never felt so amazing in my life before!”Meanwhile, he was grinning widely with his fists tightly balled up and his face still flushed. He appeared to be especially excited when he pumped his clenched fists in the air constantly and cheered for himself a few times. Zayn smiled calmly but did not
He wondered how his brother was now.Zayn had an intuition that there would come a day when his elder brother would surely come looking for trouble with him. However, he was not afraid. On the contrary, he was anticipating that because there were some matters that needed to be solved anyhow. For example, how did his grandfather suddenly fall ill four years ago then turn into a vegetable!? It was a mystery, and Zayn had always assumed that the reason was closely related to Zidane. For the next two days, Thomas woke up very early with the strong intention to join Zayn for a morning run. He wanted to improve his fitness level so that he could also become a powerhouse. However, his motivation only lasted two days. He could not sustain his efforts by the third day and backed out straightforwardly. Zayn expected the outcome earlier, so he did not push Thomas either. One day, Zayn woke up at five o’clock in the morning. He did not go for a run but left the house early instead, dr
