When Yvonne saw Zayn had stopped saying anything, she thought that she had managed to convince him and was especially excited. Then, she started hugging Zayn once again, ready to give herself to him.However, at that moment, Zayn seemed extremely panicked as he lowered his voice and anxiously said, “This is bad, Fifi’s coming! You should hurry up and find a place to hide!!”“What?!” When Yvonne heard this, she was instantly stunned and could not help but say, “Fifi’s here…”When Zayn heard her saying that out so loudly, he desperately wanted to kick Yvonne under his bed. ‘Yvonne’s really whipped up a huge mess now. If Faye hears her, we’re finished.’ Hence, Zayn had no choice but to hurriedly cover up Yvonne’s mouth and made a gesture to get her to remain silent. Then, he softly said, “Why are you shouting so loud?! Hurry up and hide…”However, right after he said that, the door had been opened and Faye had already walked in!Zayn was truly stunned right now. Out of desperation, h
However, Zayn’s explanation had caused Faye to squint her eyes. “Zayn, I was just casually rambling—why did you explain yourself so much? Are you guilty of something?”Hence, Zayn breathed in a breath of cold air which travelled all the way down to his heart. ‘Has Faye found out already?‘Oh no, oh no…’When she saw Zayn being silent, Faye let out a, “Pfft,” as she chuckled and said, “I’m just joking, look how frightened you are.”Zayn was immediately dumbfounded. ‘What’s happening here, she’s joking with me? F*ck, is this even considered a joke? You almost scared me to death!’Faye then continued to say, “You have no idea how high Yvonne’s requirements are, so how could she possibly be interested in you? Plus, Yvonne’s my best friend, so there’s no way she would be interested in you. I’m the only one who’s turned blind and fallen for you. Alright, I won’t disturb you anymore. It’s quite cold here, hurry up and scoot over, I want to warm myself up here a little.As she said that,
Finally, after Faye had left and the door was closed, there were two sighs of relief, each coming from Zayn and Yvonne.‘That was so close, if Zayn had not reacted fast enough, we’d have been exposed already!‘If Faye finds out about this, it’s going to be a huge mess and I’m definitely dead.’Then, Yvonne hurriedly got out of the blanket and took huge gasps of air. It seemed as if she had been short of air after being stuffed under the blanket for a long time.“I almost suffocated.” Yvonne finally regulated her breath and said, “That was really close, Fifi almost found out about us.”Zayn madly rolled his eyes. “If it weren’t for you barging into my room, would all of this happen? Alright, now that Fifi’s already gone back, you should hurry back as well!”After Zayn had interacted with Faye just now, his body was now completely heated up and was in a bad position at that moment. Hence, he did not dare to allow Yvonne to continue to stay there any longer, otherwise he would still
After a long moment, Yvonne raised her head and said, “I know you didn’t have a good impression of me before. However, I’m going to work hard and change that. I want to court you and become your woman, this isn’t something I’m saying at the spur of the moment.”After she said that, Yvonne got out of the bed and walked to the door. Then, she turned her head around and said goodnight to Zayn with a smile before disappearing, returning to the guest room next door.When Zayn saw her expression, all he felt was a headache.‘Women, I’m surrounded by women who want to be with me!’Actually, Zayn knew all too well in his heart that Faye alone was not going to be enough to satisfy him based on his physique. Especially now that he had surpassed his limits, not even three Fayes were going to be enough for him.However, Zayn was a traditional-minded person right down to his core. Hence, he was not able to go out and have multiple women.‘Sigh, there’s no point thinking about that right now
When Hanson saw this person, it was as if he had instantly found his pillar of support as his eyes immediately turned completely red. On top of that, his lips were pursed as he bawled his eyes out and ferociously pounced onto the figure to hug him. Then, he cried and said, “Master, you’re too late. Father… Father’s already been killed by Zayn, beaten to death. Uwuu…”Actually Hanson was not faking his tears as he cried miserably, but was actually mentally broken as his world had crumbled before his eyes. At that moment, the only person he could rely on was only this Master.Actually, the Master was not a man, but a woman. She was Xander’s junior and had trained in martial arts together. On top of that, she was Xander’s first love as well. All those years, her love for Xander had never faded. So, his death was a huge blow to her!When she saw how miserably Xander was crying, her tears also flowed as she was filled with an intense sadness. However, it was mostly still anger and hatred
There was one more realization. Zayn had a feeling that the path to being Unbeatable was total devotion—the kind that required one to be less and less involved with worldly, earthly affairs. Xander was the prime thesis for that; he had been a master fighter since ten years ago, and yet he had not made much progress. He was better than a newly-joined member but no way at the absolute top, and Zayn bet it was his lust for worldly power that hindered him from devotion.Of course, it was next to impossible for a human to live in complete solitude all their life. What about family? Friends? Lovers? These bonds were often hard to break. So, all Zayn could do was to make sure he was less involved in his business. He would leave most of the heavy lifting to his subordinates and be content with being the man behind the scenes.Many expressed incredulity at his choice. Why would a young man in his prime let go of his authoritative power? Sean and Gordon could not fathom his intention; in fact,
Annabelle Laking?Zayn did not recall ever giving her his number before, so if he had to take a bet—he would bet it was from Peter.Of course, he skipped all that and asked, “Okay. Hi, Miss Laking. How can I help you?”There was marked apprehension in her voice even as she tried to plaster it with overt caution. “Well, um, Mr. Larson… I’m really, really sorry to bother you, and I’m sorry I called you on such short notice, and…”Hearing the unease in her voice amused Zayn. Was he really that terrifying?“Miss Laking, c’mon now. Relax; there’s nothing to be nervous about. I mean, last I checked, I wasn’t Godzilla or anything. It’s fine to just tell me what you need,” he said, trying to assuage her anxiety with jocularity.Annabelle’s face turned red as she cursed her incompetence. She was supposed to be a whiz at conversations! How was it that when it came to Mr. Larson, she suddenly turned into a bumbling, blabbering buffoon?Luckily, her identity as one of the most popular, high
Annabelle’s trance lasted for a good few minutes until Esther walked in on her, who then responded to the former’s blank-eyed stare by waving her hands in front of her eyes.“Hello? Earth to Annie?” Ester tried, “You called Mr. Larson as we planned? Did he say yes? …Oy, Annabelle Laking! Snap out of it!”Annabelle jolted with a rush of rosy blushes to her cheek. “Est?! Oh, hi. W-What did you say? I, uh, wasn’t listening…”“Of course you weren’t,” Esther scoffed, rolling her eyes. “I asked if you called Mr. Larson like I told you. What did he say? Did he agree? C’mon, Annie. You don’t really think I haven’t noticed you staring into space at inopportune time, do you? I even wonder if you’ve got someone living in your headspace up there, rent-free.”Annabelle’s heart skipped a beat, but outwardly, she shook her head. “No! N-No way! I don’t have someone on my mind! I mean, my career is my priority, Est. And, well... Idols like us aren’t really allowed to be in relationships, are we? Th
