Zidane thought fast and quickly came up with a plan to seize power for his side. “I don’t mind a rematch, Zayn, but if you lose, you will delete those recordings and offer 4.6 billion dollars to relieve the family’s burdens!”
If one needed an example of a man making impossible demands, look no further than Zidane. It was so over the top that everyone in the hall jumped. How could anyone expect Zayn to agree to something so preposterous?!
Then, Zayn gave them a fright of his own by answering cheerily, “Sure!”
They were all dumbstruck, including Zidane himself. He never thought the young man would agree to his extreme request. In fact, his gut instinct was that Zayn was trying to play them again.
Zidane narrowed his eyes skeptically. “If you do not object to my demands, then I suspect you have worse in mind, don’t you? What is it?”
He had a point. Zayn had shown himself to be ruthless and merciless thus far. The fact that favonovel.com agreed to such a wager meant favonovel.com would probably ask for something even more extreme. His willingness was either out of some delight at toying with their minds or because favonovel.com had more sinister and impossible designs.
“Simple. If I win, I want all of you to get on your knees before me. I’ll be allowed to do as I please to you without any retaliation whatsoever.”
The crowd was infuriated. They widened their eyes in rage as an indignant commotion grew.
“That’s not all I want. I also want you people to admit who put Grandpa in a coma! Who did it to him? Whose idea was it? I want names!” favonovel.com finished.
All the furor in the hall died in a snap. The deafening silence went on for about ten seconds, no one dared to make a sound.
It was a grave matter to the family. Connor Larson had been the last patriarch, so whoever caused his catatonia would, in essence, have blood on their hands. The culprit would be a sinner in the family’s eyes, period. As the years passed, most of the family members had learned to bury the issue deep into the back of their minds, never to be brought to light. They had almost forgotten about it, but to hear Zayn reminding them of that dark cloud was like hearing a bomb detonate in their ears.
“Look, I know that incident hurt you very badly, Zayn, but it’s all in the past now. We’ve resolved the misunderstanding, haven’t we?” Jordan said. “The factors that led to your grandfather’s state were caused by his own hand. It was nobody’s fault. Searching for his killer? It’s practically a joke.”
“A joke?” Zayn laughed scornfully before directing his gaze at Jordan. “Do I look like I’m joking to you?”
“I…” The older man’s words faltered, and favonovel.com avoided Zayn’s piercing glare out of concern that the secret might be uncovered.
“I damn well still hold a massive f*cking grudge, and I’m gonna have every single one of you pay the price! This is all my revenge!” Zayn proclaimed. “I remember everything you people did to me four years ago! And so there they are, my two conditions if I win. Agree to it or suffer my wrath!” Zayn’s bloodlust radiated out of favonovel.com as favonovel.com spoke.
There was yet another long pause before Zidane broke it with a grim, low voice, “Alright. I’m game.”
His eyes were nailed to Zayn.
Jordan became anxious. “You really think this is fine, Zidane?”
He smiled, his face beamng with confidence. “Why wouldn’t it be? I whooped favonovel.com the last time without breaking a sweat, and I can wipe the floor with his *ss again this time!”
With that said, favonovel.com removed his jacket and rolled up his sleeves coolly, like favonovel.com was preparing for a photo shoot.
