Zayn ignored him completely in favor of taking a swig of his coffee. Naturally, his obvious dismissal lit up another fuse to Rugal’s already fiery temperament, and now he looked even angrier.“You deaf or what? I’m talking to you here!” Rugal snarled, his voice laced with rage.Zayn set his mug down and leaned onto the back of the couch, making sure his eyes were on par with Rugal’s. “I’m not leaving her.”Rugal sneered. “You really don’t know your place, do you?” he demanded, straightening his back with a smug, self-important look to the amazement and awe of the Turners. “I’m Rugal Gonzalez! My uncle is Yuri Gonzalez, Mayor of Tael City!”Whatever dominating effects he had hoped to achieve, though, it was lost on Zayn. To the latter, Rugal was a clown, a little ant thinking it could intimidate a boot. Zayn was not just any random guy on the street; he was the terrifying legend who managed to boot master fighters like Xander and Mia out of existence with his fighting prowess! How c
“The fight hasn’t started yet, right?” Shaelyn asked worriedly as soon as she reached Zayn, who shook his head.She sighed in relief. As one of the few who knew about how crazy powerful Zayn was, Shaelyn was sure that if Zayn started balled his fist and threw it forward, her family members could morph into a single titan and still be knocked out-cold.Of course, ignorant as they were, the Turners pointed at Zayn and cried about his luck instead. “You’re fortunate Lottie’s here. You were so close to kissing the floor, pal!”Zayn had no idea how to react to this.Shaelyn considered her pugnacious cousins with a death glare. “You idiots really want to die, don’t you? You have no idea how relieved I am that this stupid brawl you’re looking for hasn’t happened yet, man. If he fought you—not just any, but all of you—I swear to God, even He can’t help you!”“Pfft! Dramatic much?”“You and your awful hyperboles, Lottie!”“Like hell I’ll lose. I can wipe the floor with ten of that dweeb
The commotion was so loud, everyone was jolted into a startle. Rugal had it worse, though; he had been sipping his coffee when it happened, so he accidentally shoved a whole gulp of boiling liquid down his throat and was now yelping in pain.Seeing the throng busting into her house dialed Shirley’s temper to the eleven. With a loud smack on the table, she fumed, “Oy, the hell you think you are?! You ruined my perfectly good door!”The group was made out of about ten or so men who were all dressed in suits. The one in the middle, who looked about in his thirties, was wearing a pair of shades. Just one glance at him, and everyone could tell that he was a bigshot disinterested in friendly chats about the weather. Even the men behind him looked pretty cool, if not intimidating.Their presence ushered a change in mood. Suddenly, the Turners froze, their indignance fizzling out. One of them, a middle-aged man, turned pale and dove behind his family’s backs, as though worried that someone
Shirley then stood up and said with a frown, “Matthias, what’s happening here? Who are these people? Why have they even found their way to our house?”Matthias gulped and was very anxious as he said, “Aunt Shirley, this is quite complicated. Mr. Floto is a big shot and I’m owing him some money that needs to be paid back.”Shirley then asked, “How much do you owe him?”Matthias then held up a finger first, then changed to five fingers whilst trembling slightly. Then, Shirley was instantly shocked as she said, “1.5 million dollars?! Matthias, isn’t your company doing well all this time? Why have you borrowed so much money?!”At that moment, a man dressed in a suit and sunglasses walked out and said, “1.5 million dollars? Hmph! If it’s just 1.5 million dollars, would I f*cking chase after him like this? He owes me 15 million dollars!”‘15 million dollars?!”This amount immediately caused everyone in the Turners to heave a breath of cold air, while Matthias himself seemed to be in ag
The man in the suit and sunglasses did not even show Rugal an ounce of respect, instantly causing Rugal, who could not help but twitch the corner of his lips, to embarrass himself. In fact, he could no longer control his expression, especially since Shaelyn was there. Hence, his face instantly turned cold and said, “Oi, you’d better show more respect when you talk to me!”Then, Rugal straightened his back, coughed slightly before arrogantly saying, “My name is Rugal Gonzalez, Rising Sun Group’s vice president!”However, the man in the suit and sunglasses merely let off a “Pfft” sound in scorn. “Rising Sun Group? Who the f*ck are they? I’ve never heard of them. P*ss off right now, or I’ll feed you to my fish as well!”The man in the suit and sunglasses had a very strong approach as he pointed at Rugal and scowled. This time, Rugal’s face became even uglier as the Turners in the house were looking at him with an expression filled with doubt, especially Shaelyn’s mocking expression w
Within moments, Rugal’s phone call got connected and he deliberately turned it on speakerphone. “Hello, Uncle Mayor, are you free for a chat? There’s something I’d like to tell you.”On the other end of the phone call, there was a slightly fatigued voice. “What is it?”“It’s like this…” Rugal added oil to the flame as he told Yuri everything that had just happened. Towards the end, he even said, “Uncle, this Floto guy is extremely arrogant, he even insulted you as being a useless person! On top of that, your nephew ended up being taught a lesson by him, this is all very preposterous!”When Yuri heard this, he became furious as he slammed on the table once and scowled, “This is outrageous! To think that such an *sshole even exists. Where are you right now, I’m sending men over there right now!”Rugal became elated when he heard this and hurriedly gave Yuri his location. On the other hand, the Turners were gradually turning excited.However, at that very moment, the man in the suit
In one fell swoop, everyone’s gazes landed on Zayn.In fact, Shaelyn was startled for a moment, but was quickly replaced with excitement. ‘That’s right, how could I have forgotten about Zayn? Why am I afraid of the Turners being in danger if Zayn’s here?’As for Shirley and the rest… They all had the complete opposite expressions on their faces. The colour on their face drained as they all thought that Zayn had signed his death warrant and they were all going to get dragged into the mess!Then, Shirley instantly scowled, “Oi, are you courting death? How dare you refute Mr. Floto’s words?!”Next, she immediately said to the man in the suit and glasses, “Mr. Floto, this man isn’t from our family, he is completely unrelated to the Turners.”At the same time, everyone else was trying to wash their hands off being related to Zayn at all.All of them thought that Zayn was like the harbinger of death and were afraid that they would be dragged down with him.When Shaelyn saw this, she w
However, Zayn, the person before Rocco at that moment, was someone whom everyone in Guineve wanted to curry favour to. In fact, just a few days ago, Rocco’s boss had even told him that Zayn was a genius with a bright future ahead of him, hence they needed to do whatever it takes to gain his favour. In the end, Rocco had ended up meeting Zayn at that very moment. On top of that, Rocco exclaimed at how young Zayn truly was!“M… M… Master Larson, it’s you. I’m so sorry for being unable to recognize you just now, please forgive me, please!” said Rocco as he apologized to Zayn with a fearful expression. On top of that, Rocco’s legs were trembling.With a thud, everyone in the house was dumbfounded by the scene and even thought that they were imagining things. ‘Even the mayor himself was afraid of Mr. Gloto, yet Zayn’s appearance actually made him this horrified?’‘This can’t be real!’On the other hand, Shaelyn was unable to contain the smile on her face as she was especially happy and
