Semua Bab When Life Takes A Turn: Bab 661 - Bab 670

Zayn answered the call with a direct request. “Cut to the chase.”Infuriated, Shaelyn harrumphed loudly enough for anyone to hear the resentment and embarrassment etched in her voice. “What, is this your way of telling me I don’t mean a thing to you?”“Can you please stop flirting with me already, Shaelyn? Get down to business already before my wife gets the wrong idea,” Zayn retorted snappishly.Shaelyn was confused. Why is this specific man such a tough nut to crack? Why was her charm not working on him as it should?Of course, since Zayn had made it clear that he was in no mood for flirting and fun, she did go straight to the point. “Since the Great Hunt starts tomorrow, we’ll have to be there by this evening. The venue isn’t anywhere within Waltz City but a remote location deep in the northern forest. This is the real reason why you should be here already.”After confirming her information with what Mr. Hyde knew, he finally exclaimed with an undertone of resentment, “For God’

Shaelyn might have as well slapped Stephen on the face with a retort like that. Naturally, the man’s scowl deepened. Of course, the real target to bear the brunt of his fury and malice was not never going to be Shaelyn. To Stephen, the culprit had been no one but Zayn.“Oh, so you think you can just come out of nowhere, snatch someone I’ve been working on, and think everything’s cool now? You got nerves, pal. What’s your name? I want to see if you’re worth any sh*t,” Stephen grunted, his malicious eyes drilling through Zayn like stakes.Zayn was starting to get very annoyed at how frequent this happened to him. People just keep finding new ways to misunderstand him! Now, he would have tried to be a bit more amicable if they were still within the bounds of Waltz City, but the Great Hunt was about to begin, and the fact that it allowed participants to murder each other in the process quickly made maintaining civility a pointless effort. Trying to explain himself to small fries like t

“God, just thinking about how we never got to f**k him up pisses me off so hard!”“I know right? You know, I’m starting to think that even if we did punish him, the Aeolus House isn’t gonna really hold it against us, man!”One by one, Stephen’s friends began to rant and whine about missed opportunities and their chief stopping them.Stephen narrowed his eyes as they glinted in icy killing intent. “What do you people know about punishment, hmm? All a beating could do to him was inflicting some bodily harm—he doesn’t deserve that kind of charity,” he growled with a sadistic edge. “It’s the Great Hunt tomorrow, after all. If he has the balls to attend it, good. This competition would just turn into a manhunt. I want him to die watching himself bled dry. I want his hopes to die before he joins them.”His friends, who started out more as a rowdy band of indignant brothers, froze. Chill began to crawl through their spines. For them, the punishment was simple—they gave him a lesson that,

Zayn had very sharp senses that allowed him to spot numerous fowl and game within a few kilometers of them. There was even a huge tiger staring at them ferociously about 300 meters to his left. Other than that, there were many monkeys leaping about the trees above them. Perhaps it would be difficult for an ordinary person to leave this forest alive. Many people from the group expressed their excitement by sticking their heads out to look around. “The location for the Great Hunt this year is awesome. I’m sure that there are more wild animals to chase in a huge forest like this,” someone exclaimed excitedly. “That’s right. I heard that there are even many tigers and bears. It’s certainly going to be very interesting to hunt here!”“I believe that it’ll be more interesting than the previous year regardless!”“I wonder who’ll be the best hunter? I heard they have incredible rewards for this year’s winner.”“Why do you care who’s going to be the best hunter? It’s not going to b

Even after focusing on her, he could not tell if Shaelyn was putting on an act, so he chose to believe her in the end. She had no motive to hurt him.“It’s good that Xander is here. I would also like to meet him and solve the matter,” said Zayn nonchalantly. Shaelyn's eyes immediately widened in surprise. “You’ve lost your mind. Do you know who Xander Griffin is? He is the vice president of the Northmob Council! There’s no telling how strong he is, but he is shockingly powerful. I’ve lost count of how many skilled fighters he killed. Moreover, he is an intermediate master fighter already. Even if you’re also a master, you’ve only just reached that level, so how can you possibly match Xander?!”Zayn did not speak but smiled softly. All of a sudden, he sensed something and turned his head to look toward it. He could see a middle-aged man dressed in a gray suit. The man was tall and burly yet stood straight and had an aggressive expression. He had a pair of bright, piercing eyes tha
