They had bet on the wrong side! Who would have imagined Zayn Larson, who had just become a master fighter, to be so forbidding and kill Xander Griffin and Mia Walker one after another?!Zayn’s gaze swept across all of them. Anyone who felt it sensed their heart thumping against their ribcage in fear and nervousness before they quickly dipped their head to avoid eye contact with Zayn, in fear of provoking his anger.The Owens and Aeolus House had extremely mixed feelings. To Fabian and Mr. Otto, it left a bitter taste in their mouths. They had really just shot themselves in the foot this time.Sensing what these people were thinking, Zayn lifted the corners of his lips into a cryptic smirk.“Let’s go,” he told Shaelyn and made a move.Snuggled in his embrace, Shaelyn nodded meekly and left with him.As Zayn came out from the ruins, anyone from the crowd who blocked his way as he strolled past drew back immediately and made a 16-feet wide gap for him to go through and leave, fright
As Zayn exited the stadium and got into the car, he suddenly vomited blood and looked ashen, scaring Shaelyn.“Ah, Zayn, what’s wrong?!”Shaelyn frantically wrapped her arms around him, panicking in an instant, and pulled his clothes up to check his injury.It seemed easy when Zayn defeated Mia, but he had actually sustained quite a severe injury from the battle, especially when he had just gone into the meditative state and sealed all his senses to allow the battle instinct to take over his body. The repercussions were significant.Mia was truly skilled as a master fighter in the superior class. She was adept in psychological manipulation as she had managed to envelop Zayn in massive pressure. If he had not found the solution during these three days and sealed his senses, it would have been impossible for him to beat Mia.Other than the aforementioned repercussions, Mia had injured him rather heavily too. As an expert in her level, her physical prowess was impressive even without
Marvelous! Zayn needed a week of recuperation, which meant that he was hers for the entire week! Shaelyn was going to make sure he was all hers during this week.Seeing that the man was sleeping soundly, she did not wake him up as she carried him on her back gently to enter the mansion. Although she was a woman, she was an experienced fighter. Some eight or ten brutes were no big deal to her, thus carrying Zayn who was less than 220 pounds was a walk in the park for her.As Zayn lay slumped against her back, she could feel his breath in her ears. Finally, Shaelyn carried him into the house and dropped him onto the bed. At the sight of the sleeping man, she felt exceptionally blissful and content. While Zayn was asleep, she pushed herself over to peck his lips.However, Zayn was looking worse for wear right now. Not only was he grimy, but his clothes were also torn. He had to shower and change into a new set of clothes.Shaelyn thought about it, then tried to call the man softly, bu
Mia Walker was dead—Zayn Larson had killed her. The news took over Guineve like a storm. Instantly, Zayn’s fame shot up to unprecedented heights.Those who had chosen to draw the line with Zayn due to Mia’s warning did not merely regret it now but were also frightened that Zayn would come back to find fault and settle the score with them. As a result, they eagerly went to him to express their remorse and admit their mistake.Unfortunately, they could not even find him. It was like Zayn Larson had vanished into thin air. It made those people more restless and panicked…As for where Zayn was? He was still with Shaelyn and had slept for two days—that was 48 hours straight.He was bone-tired from the battle with Mia and had nearly lost his conscious mind. If Shaelyn had not called him in time, he might have already lost his sanity by now. As Zayn fell into the two-day deep slumber, his body worked to repair his injuries. By the time he woke up, he was already feeling much better. Whe
“You! I… Gah! Didn’t I ask you to send me back to Barrow Cove? You… I’m doomed!” Zayn slapped a hand to his forehead, looking like he was better off dead.Shaelyn chuckled as she hooked her arms around Zayn’s neck. “Don’t worry. Your wife wasn’t angry. She asked me to take good care of you too.”With Shaelyn wrapped around him, Zayn tensed up visibly. “Can you let go of me first?”“No!” She refused coquettishly as she squirmed and pouted. “I’m yours now. You can’t abandon me, or I’ll tell your wife.”Zayn could only smile wryly. If he was asked to shove the woman away and snap at her right now, he could not find it in himself to do it. He sighed. “Shaelyn, why? I’m a married man. You’re so eligible. You could easily find anyone who’s…”Zayn did not manage to continue because his lips were sealed shut by her.“I don’t care. I’ve decided that it’s you for the rest of my life. Don’t even think about abandoning me!” Shaelyn claimed resolutely. Her expression softened as she continued
Unable to take Shaelyn’s various coquettish ways of pleading, Zayn could only agree to her. Nonetheless, he had first gone back to Barrow Cove to let Faye and her family know that he was doing fine, then he met Sean and Gordon briefly and let the rest of them know that he was okay.Catching news that he had reappeared, people swarmed to look for him promptly with extravagant presents to apologize and grovel to him. Nevertheless, Zayn ignored them. They were people capricious to parties in their interest. They dissociated themselves with Zayn because of Mia this time, thus they could do the same and betray him the next time they met a similar encounter.Having that said, Zayn was not going to cut them off and offend them either. He had to put on airs, leave them hanging for a while, then accept their toadying when the time was right.Zayn was now the talk of the town in Guineve after defeating Mia, but he could not fall out with everyone no matter how capable he was. To maintain long
“He could be here or all the way in space and I still don’t give a damn,” Shaelyn answered noncommittally, “Besides, this is good news. It might just be what he needs to finally give up.”Instead of dissuading her uncle, the man only became even more serious. “Oy, that’s no way to approach this opportunity, young lady. He’s the City Mayor’s nephew and a graduate from a prestigious university from abroad—that’s a young man who shows promises! How would he feel if he sees you bringing some random guy home, huh? And honestly? That young man checks every box of husband quality and outranks… whoever this fella is. If I were you, I’d break up with your guy right now.”Shaelyn was displeased. “So what if he was some mayor’s high-and-mighty son, hmm? What’s he gonna do when he finds out I’m already seeing someone—kill me?”“Lottie, please. Your mother had to pull so many strings just to get you a shot at marrying such a wonderful, promising young man. Don’t trample over all that grueling ef
He said it with a commanding authority, as though he was ejecting an unwanted persona non grata that he hardly regarded highly from his premise. To him, Zayn was likely a colleague of Shaelyn, an unimpressive little white collar who earned 1500 dollars a month or so at most. Making a comparison with the nephew of the city mayor was akin to comparing a pauper with a prince! How could an unimpressive little white collar like this even think he could become a son-in-law to the Turner family?Zayn heard him in nonchalance. Shaelyn, however, could not bear to hear any more of it. Miffed, she riposted, “What kind of attitude is that, uncle? His name is Zayn Larson, and he is my boyfriend. Boyfriend! Not my colleague! And… he’s staying with us for the night.”The middle-aged man—husband to Shaelyn’s paternal aunt—glared. “If your plan is to see your family going kaput, then that’s a brilliant plan, Lottie. The mayor’s nephew is waiting for you inside that room, just waiting for you to accep
