Now realizing what Zayn had done, Sean admired Zayn even more than he ever did before.Zayn was not in the mood to reason with the likes of them, so he waved them off dismissively instead. “Alright, no need to think that hard. Just do as I say, and I won’t treat you anything less than you deserve. Look for Mr. Wilson for everything else after this,” he said, “I’ll allow two days of break, but make sure you report at the company immediately three days later. I’ll train all of you personally.”He paused, then looked at them with steely eyes. “I’ll make this clear right here, right now,” he warned with an edge in his voice, “If any of you is absent that day, don’t blame me when I come for you.”The group shook their heads hurriedly to show that they harbored no such intention.Hunter clenched his jaw, walked out of the crowd, and fell to his knees before Zayn. He shouted loudly, “Please take me as your apprentice, sir!”Seeing the fervency in his eyes made Zayn jump. Frowning, he rep
Now that the basic direction and plan for his security firm was done, Zayn passed everything about running the business to Sean. His focus, meanwhile, would be on the challenges the Northmob Council posed.On the other hand, Faye’s career was going swimmingly, too. She took Zayn’s words to heart and discarded her more micromanaging ways, shrugging off the load on her shoulders instead of lumping them all in her plate. Slowly but surely, she was starting to relax more and more. The days had stopped being hectic, and her mood improved.However, these two days, she returned to being a little uneased. She could sense something—someone— watching her from the shadows, but every time she turned to look, it vanished without a trace as if it was never there.She did not feel good at all, but she did not tell Zayn about it because it almost felt like she was hallucinating. Still, she had to admit that it was high time she hired a bodyguard.One day, while she stepped out of her office, a lit
It was too magical to believe.Faye had always been proud of how well-endowed she was. She had seen countless other beauties in her life and never once felt her confidence wavered. But this one… She had no confidence to compare herself to her.She was too arresting—an absolute knockout. Her face was flawless, free from even the smallest of blemishes. God knows Faye had never seen anyone quite like this. And the air she brought with her! She felt ethereal, a creature between the line of reality and the magical, like a fairy. She even wondered if the woman would disappear into the meadows, leaving only sparkles in her wake had Faye blinked.It was Lysithea. She had decided to talk to Faye.Just as Faye was marveling at her beauty, the young woman was sizing Faye up as well, her approval soaring. Her little brother had managed to marry a woman whose radiance managed to eclipse many women in her organization.She shot a cursory glance at Faye’s helpers and smiled slightly. “I didn’t t
She had only recovered from her surprise after a long while. She muttered to herself ‘monster’ then walked away. “Did you see me talking to the woman in red earlier?” Faye asked her two subordinates. The two subordinates answered that they had seen but there was no astonishment or anything unusual about their expression. They appeared to be behaving normally. This made Faye mutter to herself even more. However, she did not inquire further either. Faye returned to the house, her mind filled with all sorts of queries. Zayn was reading a newspaper in the living room. Noticing her return, he took the initiative to approach her and carried her handbag for her. Sensing Zayn’s gentleness and care for her, Faye felt warm and fuzzy inside. Faye wanted to ask Zayn if she had an elder sister on a few occasions, but she refrained from saying out loud every time she felt the urge to ask. Zayn was a man with sharp senses. He sensed that she had something on her mind soon and asked, “Do
He had to tell Faye about these things in order to prevent her from worrying. Early morning the next day, Zayn went to visit Mr. Hyde. He got straight to the point by asking, “Who’s Lysithea?”Zayn stared closely at Mr. Hyde’s eyes. A look of astonishment flashed in Mr. Hyde’s eyes. Did Lady Lysithea go looking for Zayn?“Has Lady Lysithea gone to see you?” asked Mr. Hyde. Upon hearing that, Zayn felt more at ease in his heart. Judging by Mr. Hyde’s reaction, Lysithea was not a foe at the very least. “No, she went to see Faye.”Mr. Hyde was astonished once again. He said, “Lady Lysithea is the adopted daughter of The Saintress and also your elder sister. At the same time, she is also a member of Sicut In Caelo.”Zayn caught the crucial information soon. He said, “Did my mother send her? Where is she now? Take me to meet her.”Mr. Hyde shook his head and said, “I don’t know where Lady Lysithea is. She comes and goes without a trace and her whereabouts are not within my contro
The Northmob Council’s division was deadly silent. No one dared to speak at this time in fear of provoking Hanson’s anger. Hanson was burning with fury such that his body could ignite a fire. Zayn was such a tyrant! It was considered merciful that he did not go looking for trouble with Zayn yet Zayn had not only chosen not to flee but he had the audacity to mess with his turf!How could the hot-tempered Hanson tolerate Zayn’s behavior? He wanted badly to dash over to Violet Vision Media Corp at this very instant, seize Zayn, and beat him to death. However, he came to his senses and stopped himself. He inhaled a deep breath and scolded Bill, “You’re the high-respected leader of this division, yet you allowed Zayn to mess with our turf all by himself. What are you doing with your position, huh?!”Bill felt very displeased in his heart but did not have the courage to talk back either because Hanson was Xander’s precious son. He pulled a long face and said, “Mr. Griffin, it’s not tha
Along with the male bodyguards, Zayn had even asked Wilson to hire highly-trained female bodyguards. They were specifically tasked with ensuring Faye’s safety.It did not take long for summer break to end. Soon after, Faye’s little brother, Thomas, was headed back to school.“Are you cool with driving me to school, Zayn?” asked Thomas. He was brimming with anticipation as he approached Zayn, who was reading the newspaper in the living room.“I’m needed at the company soon, so I’m afraid that won’t be possible,” replied Zayn. ‘Two rest days are a luxury I can’t be bothered to waste on Thomas.’Thomas’ face sank in response to Zayn’s rejection. He sidled up to Zayn and pleaded with a pitiful expression, “Please, Zayn—please take me to school. I’ll introduce you to two beautiful female classmates of mine.”Zayn almost gagged when he brought up such a ridiculous proposal. Ruby, who was standing nearby, caught wind of it all. She immediately knocked Thomas in the head. “What nonsense a
Instead of saying anything more, Zayn shut his eyes and drifted off to sleep.Actually, Zayn knew all about Thomas’ rotten behavior and his pointless loitering. He had been running around causing trouble for the past few days. However, Zayn could not find the time to teach him a lesson because of his packed schedule. Now that he finally had some time on his hands, he wanted to give him a proper lecture.When Thomas saw how determined Zayn was to take on the enemy all by himself, he started panicking. He was panicking so much, in fact, that he was breaking down into tears. ‘I’m regretting this so much. If I knew this was going to happen, I wouldn’t have called him over!’When he saw Zayn’s closed eyes, he quickly lost any desire to disturb him. He merely looked at him regretfully....“Daryl, do you think Thomas will chicken out?”In the middle of an empty space about 100 meters away from the school, stood a dozen or so men smoking. One could tell with a single glance that they we
