Semua Bab When Life Takes A Turn: Bab 671 - Bab 680

Moments after Xander left, the crowd still could not find the courage to speak. Even though he was no longer there, the fear remained in their hearts because of his intimidating presence earlier. Nevertheless, they were excited more than anything else. It seemed the journey to take part in the Great Hunt would not be in vain.They traveled across a long distance to arrive at this huge forest deep in the mountains in the pursuit of thrills and sensations. Would they not be delighted to be able to witness a ferocious struggle between two equally powerful fighters?“Zayn, have you lost your mind? How could you talk back to Xander? Knowing his temperament, he’s surely going to slaughter you like an animal! What should we do now? Why don’t you head back to Waltz City right away?” She sighed exasperatedly. “Though, you don’t have the chance to do so anymore, do you? Once you’ve entered the place, you’re not allowed to leave until the end of the hunt. If you try to flee, you’ll be chased

As it happened, Zayn was genuinely astonished by Shaelyn’s behavior. He did not expect that she would ask to accompany him for one last night under such circumstances. Could it be that Shaelyn was truly in love with him?A woman as attractive as Shaelyn could get any man she wanted, so why would she have fallen for him? Moreover, Shaelyn would not become infatuated so easily after encountering far too many insincere displays of affection while mingling in her social circle. In any case, Zayn was rather moved by her actions. He could tell that Shaelyn was not putting on an act and was doing this from the bottom of her heart.Mr. Otto immediately pulled a long face and glared at Shaelyn ferociously. He blamed her for thoughtlessly putting a target on Aeolus House. “You may chat with Mr. Larson for a little longer, but then you’re going to leave with me. The Great Hunt is an important event and there are many affairs that you need to attend to,” said Mr. Otto sternly. Shaelyn

“Why? Can’t I make a bet?” Zayn asked with a smile when no one answered for a long time.One of the bankers chuckled dryly. “Mr. Larson, we were just playing the fool. We don’t mean anything else. Don’t mind us, please.”The other two bankers chorused, “Yeah, Mr. Larson, we were just fooling around. Don’t take it seriously.”“Haha, Mr. Larson’s a magnanimous man. He’d never get petty with us. Shoo, shoo, let’s not take up his time.”The men were about to part ways with that, but Zayn stopped them.“Don’t worry, I’m not that petty. I’m fighting Xander tomorrow anyway, so either one of us will die. Therefore, I’m not joking. I plan to bet 300 million dollars on me winning. Are you guys taking it?”“Uh…” The three bankers were startled and looked at Zayn skeptically, not sure if he was angered or actually serious about it. 300 million dollars was not a modest sum at all!One of the bankers tittered dryly. “Mr. Larson, we were really joking around. Just assume that we farted. Don’t

Zayn’s gaze went icy. The person had a grip on the doorknob to open the door too. Interesting…Zayn swiftly picked himself up from the floor to lie on his bed and pull the covers over him, then closed his eyes to pretend that he was asleep. He wanted to know who would dare ambush him.The door was opened with a click… It was not a violent barge-in. Instead, the person used an access card to enter. The lights from the hallway outside peeked into the room in a line before a shapely figure appeared at the door. She looked around furtively like she was a thief.Zayn caught the person from the corner of his eye and was stunned. Shaelyn? Why was she here?!It was Shaelyn alright. That explained why she had the key card to Zayn’s room.She had struggled internally for a long time before sneaking out to Zayn’s room after her roommate fell asleep. She did not understand why she had to come looking for Zayn either. According to her usual behavior, she would not do a thing like this.In spi

Shaelyn was undressing!What in the world was happening? Zayn was baffled.What was going on? Shaelyn had snuck into his room in the middle of the night knowing that he was dying in Xander’s hands tomorrow… Or was this her way of expressing her guilt to him?Whatever it was, Zayn could never accept it. Not only was he married and that sleeping with Shaelyn would be doing Faye wrong, but even without Faye in the picture, he was not about to hook up with Shaelyn right now when he had a life-and-death battle with Xander tomorrow!Zayn stopped the woman at once with widened eyes. “Hey, Shaelyn Peach! Have you gone mad?!”Shaelyn huffed, “Zayn Larson, are you a man? I’ve done so much and you’re still rejecting me?”“Is this the only way to prove whether I’m a man or not? Enough, go back. There’s no need to feel guilty about it or make it up to me this way. I’ll let you in on this. I’ll be the one who wins when I fight Xander Griffin tomorrow, so you don’t have to keep a guilty conscie
