Halfway through his path, a woman in red appeared before him suddenly and blocked his way. Xander could not help his amazement when he set eyes on the woman for she was gorgeous in her scarlet attire.Her face was flawless like a sculpture God had painstakingly carved with each curve and line perfect. The air she carried was like an ethereal fairy that would float off with the wind anytime.The handful of Xander’s underlings stared at her straight, really thinking that they were seeing a fairy.Who else could the woman in red be if not Lysithea?Xander snapped out of his daze swiftly and frowned. “Who are you? Why are you in my way?”As a master fighter, Xander did not sense Lysithea in advance. Even when she was currently standing in front of him, he could not exactly catch hold of her. It only meant that this lady in red was not as simple as she seemed.Lysithea kept her gaze on Xander and spoke faintly, “Xander Griffin, are you not ashamed at what a stellar skilled fighter lik
The other Northmob Council goons felt their eyes bulge!They were Xander’s underlings who had followed him for years, thus they were considered people who knew him best, even more so than Hanson. They were well aware of how much of a menace Xander was because of his top status among the master fighters. People who heard his name would quake in fear!Now, an intimidating master fighter like him could not even handle a palm strike from this woman in front of them? Furthermore, it was a strike collision and not a direct hit, so just how terrifying must the woman be?At that moment, they doubted if the woman was human or some supernatural entity. Due to their innate characteristics, females were naturally weaker compared to males when it came to the practice of martial arts, and it was more difficult for a woman to become a master fighter.Nevertheless, this woman here had become a master fighter and was better than Xander? She appeared to be in her twenties! Even if she had begun tr
Whatever it was, Xander was not about to give up his chance at revenge. He would not be Xander Griffin if he did!Since the woman had warned him, it meant that she would probably be watching over Zayn’s wife recently, so he would not succeed even if he executed his plan now. The best solution was to seek Zayn out for direct retribution. When he took care of Zayn, he would easily take care of the people around him!“Lord Lysithea, you’ve gotten stronger. Xander Griffin can’t even take a blow from you,” Mr. Hyde said reverently.The first time he saw Lysithea, she was only a young girl. As the years passed, she grew into a beautiful lady with profound prowess.Lysithea spoke faintly, “Xander Griffin is a worthy opponent. Lil’ Zayn will gain excellent practice from him.”“Xander’s a veteran master fighter, after all. I heard that he’s already in the intermediate class of his level. Young Master has only turned into a master fighter now. Will he succumb to Xander?” Mr. Hyde asked worr
Zayn was stunned. It was too much of a coincidence! It did not match Allana’s image!Allana flushed in the direction of Zayn’s gaze, embarrassed and angry. Clamping her legs close instantly, she picked up a stone on the ground and threw it at his face.Despite being a master fighter, in his stupor, Zayn did not manage to avoid the stone, and with a plonk, it struck his forehead. He finally snapped out of the trance.“Cough!” Forcing a cough, Zayn spoke seriously, “Don’t worry about it.”Allana flushed possibly deeper at that point. She wished she could kill Zayn there and then!She felt quite a strong pinch on her nose, feeling unusually wronged and humiliated. Growing up all this while, she had never been taken advantage of like this—even her boyfriend of three years had only held hands with her.This was mortifying! She wanted to dig a hole and bury herself there and then.She was currently trying to pick herself up, but it was too painful. She had managed to sprain her foot f
Not too far away, Zayn shook his head helplessly when he saw the scene. He sighed. Just his luck today to bump into something like this. If he had known, he would not have taken this road since it was better not to have seen a thing.Now that Allana was in trouble, he could not just leave her to be maimed. He had to go back and save the girl.Moving so swiftly, it was like he disappeared in the blink of an eye and reappeared in front of Allana. He scoffed icily as the commanding air that he exuded made the stray dogs whimper before they scurried away in fear.It was not just the dogs; tigers and lions would try and stay away to avoid death given Zayn’s current presence.Allana was astounded when she saw the stray dogs fleeing again. It took a moment before she relaxed and heaved fresh air. She had been really terrified just now. It felt like she had gone to hell and back!Zayn was quite speechless at her pale state. Those had just been a few dogs, yet she was already so petrified.
Given how smart Zayn was, he knew what Allana was thinking just by a glimpse at her expression. He asked with a chortle, “What now, Ms. Owen?”Allana felt wronged. She felt like crying. She had already ended up like this from her fall, and Zayn was still laughing at her! She wondered what her grandfather and father were thinking when they insisted that she marry a man like this!“You!” Failing to control her emotions, Allana’s eyes rimmed red and she actually teared up.Zayn was stunned. He did not mean anything else other than to joke with the girl, yet she was crying? What a weakling… He was a man who could not see women cry though, so he quickly said, “Alright, alright, let’s get you up. What are you even crying about? I was just kidding, didn’t you know?”Allana was further nettled by what he said. She had never had to put up with such annoyance! Immediately, she slapped away the hand that Zayn extended and barked, “Scram! I don’t need your help anymore, you annoying fella! Pig
Allana was terrified. She had been a clean freak since she was a child and was incredibly scared of creepy crawlies. In addition to her injured right leg, she clung to Zayn tightly. She patted herself at once to sweep the ants off. They were utterly disgusting!However, when her body moved, Zayn had to suffer.“Hey, can you not hug me so tightly? You’re snapping my neck off,” Zayn grumbled. He was currently nursing a headache. If others were to see Allana clinging to him so intimately, he could forget about actually clearing the air.Allana, who finally caught up with the situation, screeched in surprise and shoved Zayn again. She had forgotten that she was injured, so in her panic, she both pushed herself away and sprained her foot once more, making her fall yet again.Zayn was really speechless about her foolish manner. She was really clumsy. Unable to do anything else, he could only wrap his arm around her waist again to secure her.“Give me a break, will you?” Zayn scowled, lo
It was a heavy fall that probably slammed Bo’s butt flat. The young man hissed in pain. It only made him resent Zayn more as he struggled back up and commented icily, “So, you’re a martial artist too, I see. How dare you lay a finger on my girlfriend? You must be bored of this world!”Bo twisted and moved his body, his joints popping with the movement. Coupled with his sinister and enraged expression, he was pretty intimidating.Zayn wore a slight frown in annoyance. He had not gone all out on the guy because of Allana, but this fella was asking for it and pushing his limit.As a reputable person, it would really damage Zayn’s reputation if he fought with a mere experienced fighter.Allana spoke up quickly, “Bo Donough, what are you talking about? Stop it! He’s my friend. If it weren’t for him, I’d have been eaten by the stray dogs just now!”Bo could only stop and ask in concern, “What? Stray dogs? Are you alright now?!”He was about to help Allana over to him as he spoke, but t
