When the men heard Zayn’s question, there was a shift in their gazes before they replied, “Our superior is waiting for you inside. Please come with us.”“Why don’t you ask your superior out? After all, I’m the best hunter. It rattles me that you’re treating me like a commoner,” Zayn complained.The staff in the front stated with narrowed eyes, “Zayn Larson, my advice is that you’d best go in and meet our superior. Otherwise, we won’t be able to give you the reward for being the best hunter.”Zayn shrugged. “That’s fine. I didn’t want to become one anyway. I just wanted to kill Xander Griffin.” He turned to leave with that, but the six guards with guns refused to let him go as they stood in his way with a threatening glower. Zayn squinted his eyes.“As the organizer, are you going to be impartial and threaten your best hunter like this for a mere Xander Griffin?”The staff’s expression was aloof. Without answering his question, he said icily, “Zayn Larson, watch your words. The o
“Father! Father! Did you hear about the news? Zayn won. He won!”Over a hundred Owens were gathered and were currently dining at the family banquet when Seth barged in through the door and shouted loudly with thrill painted across his face.It shocked his family as their impression of him had always been composed and serious. He was always collected no matter how serious the issue was, and he had never lost his cool like this.Fabian, who was eating, reacted violently as well, springing up as he exclaimed, “What? Zayn Larson won? Is this for real? Tell me what happened!”Seth made his way to the venue with a flushed face from his excitement. “Of course, it’s real. I heard it from a lot of people. Zayn beat Xander Griffin—unscathed! He even got the title of the best hunter in The Great Hunt. His future is bright and limitless! Father, we invested in the right person!”“Ha-ha-ha…” Fabian laughed heartily, glowing, as he was elated too. “My judgment is correct. I picked the right man
Annabelle was not naïve. She knew from Zayn’s reaction that he had obviously forgotten her name. Honestly, she felt quite dejected about it. She was, like he said, a household name of a celebrity, and had millions of fans in the country. It had been less than ten seconds since she revealed herself and there were already people recognizing her as they pointed at her in thrill.In spite of that, Zayn had even managed to forget her name.Come to think of it, however, it was not too astonishing. He was the high and mighty chairman of Violet Vision Media Corp and had a bunch of hottest celebrities under him, thus it was expected that he would not remember her.Wearing her mask and sunglasses again to cover her gorgeous face, Annabelle replied, “Sir, I’m Annabelle Laking. We’ve met before.”“I know. We had a meal together the last time,” Zayn answered with a nod.The handful of staff around Annabelle thought it was unbelievable when she took the initiative to greet a man so humbly. She
One of the bodyguards gave Zayn a push but was unable to nudge him. It was like Zayn was a pillar pinned to the ground.“Hmm?” The foreign bodyguard creased his brows and scowled. How dare this runt get in their way? He increased his force to shove Zayn’s chest while wearing a malicious smirk. Towering at 6’2” and weighing over 220 pounds, it was a piece of cake for him to push a scrawny man like Zayn.What happened was the exact opposite of what he imagined though. Although the bodyguard pushed Zayn with all his might, the latter stayed stationary. He was really like a block of wall that had been erected there. It flummoxed the bodyguard! What was happening? Was he being delusional and did he run into a wall?He rubbed his eyes and widened them to look better only to realize that he was not mistaken. The Rheasian was looking at him with a small smirk.Another foreign bodyguard who noted the situation teased the first bodyguard, “Tom, you can’t even shove a noodle off? Haha!”He s
He was usually nice and easygoing, appearing harmless most of the time, but Zayn was actually a nationalist. He could not take these foreigners throwing their weight around in Rheasia!It was fine when he was not one to run into such instances, but now that he was involved in one, he was not going to let these foreigners go easy. They would think that Rheasians were pushovers otherwise!In spite of that, Annabelle’s staff broke out of their trance just when George and Jordan were going to pounce on Zayn. They hurried over and put themselves in front of Zayn to explain loudly, “Mr. Smith, please stop your bodyguards! This is a misunderstanding!”Esther tried to calm the situation down as two bodyguards from her side went to stop George and Jordan. Nonetheless, the two men did not care. They shoved Esther’s bodyguards back so hard that they stumbled. If Zayn had not caught them in time, they would have fallen.George and Jordan arrogantly cursed and flipped the bird at Zayn.The nat
It was understandable. Anyone who saw how Zayn was dressed and noted his age would never believe that he was the chairman of Violet Vision Media Corp.Smith was an internationally renowned movie star who looked good and had excellent acting skills. He had also heard of the company, Violet Vision, and knew that it was a large-scale company with a promising future.To be honest, his first choice in coming to expand his career in Rheasia was Violet Vision Media Corp. His manager had tried to contact the company, but the latter was uninterested in him. Left helpless, Smith went for his second choice, Black Athens Media Corp.In spite of that, Esther was telling him that this runt in front of him was the chairman of Violet Vision? How could he possibly believe it? Esther was taking him as a fool! This subconsciously marred his impression of Black Athens Media Corp.Esther turned back to check reflexively after what she said. Indeed, Zayn dressed averagely and did not carry a presence li
Prior to this, she had been Smith’s casual fan and had gone to watch a few of his movies. It was unexpected for the man to be this depraved in reality, and that instantly shook all the affinity she had for him away. Once Annabelle thought about how she had to shoot for months with someone like him, she was nauseated.Annabelle pulled her hand out swiftly and took in a deep breath to repress her negative emotions. Forcing a smile, she told Smith, “Mr. Smith, Mr. Larson here is a good friend of mine as well as the chairman of Violet Vision. Your bodyguards were in the wrong for what happened just now. I hope they can apologize to him.”Smith glowered the moment she said that while Esther and her team were alarmed. As her manager, Esther eyed Annabelle frantically so that she would stop spewing nonsense. Even Zayn was surprised that Annabelle would take his side to this extent.Smith questioned in dismay, “Miss Laking, are you making a wisecrack?”Ignoring Esther and the rest of her s
Other than Smith, many others around them felt the oppressive presence.The current Zayn gave off a different vibe. He was still the same man, but the change in matters of a second was distinct. He exuded an incredibly commanding presence right now that unconsciously affected everyone, causing them to feel fearful and nervous instinctively like they were meeting their condescending superior when they looked at Zayn, which was expected, considering who Zayn was. Not many could withstand his rage if he did erupt into a fit.Nevertheless, Zayn did not maintain that commanding air for too long. He was naturally a low-profile person who did not want to attract too much attention to himself.Shaking his head, Smith thought that he was imagining things. How could a scraggly Rheasian in front of him invoke fear within him? To him, this was a slap in the face!It infuriated him even more as he snorted harshly and cursed out loud before waving his hand and telling George and Jordan, “Get him
