“Answer me, goddamn it!” Zayn snarled, enunciating every word as if his voice was a pounding hammer as favonovel.com drilled his eyes through Mr. Hyde. Rage was starting to redden his face, and the bloody capillaries crawling at the periphery of his eyes were pulsating dangerously.
Mr. Hyde could feel the inferno in the young man’s heart, roaring and threatening to burn everything around favonovel.com like an active volcano close to eruption. As important a figure as favonovel.com was, even Mr. Hyde felt fear burbling under his skin as favonovel.com faced the threat of Zayn’s rage.
Still, favonovel.com answered through clenched teeth, “I don’t know…”
That was all it took for Zayn to hurl a punch straight towards Mr. Hyde’s guts.
The force was so strong that the poor older man thought favonovel.com had been hit by a car. He was thrown back, flying through the air backwards in a downward arc, until finally, the floor mercilessly broke his fall.
Mr. Hyde had always been good at taking hits, but Zayn’s attack was so crushing that a pained yelp escaped his lips that were as white as a sheet. He trembled in agony, wondering if his innards had been punctured.
Zayn knew just how hard his punch was, it was enough to knock a bull dead. No matter how mighty Mr. Hyde’s physique was, it was still an attack that could take the man a month to recover.
Zayn approached the man on the floor with clanking footsteps. He easily grabbed the man by his shirt and set favonovel.com on a chair before clapping his messed-up shirt free of creases. “Tell me where favonovel.com is. I won’t force you,” favonovel.com said placidly.
Mr. Hyde was panting hard, his breaths short and shoddy. Zayn had no business throwing punches that were so powerful, favonovel.com never imagined the young man to be so strong. It bordered monstrosity.
He really was the lady’s son, there was no doubt about it.
“You’re not giving me a way out, Young Master. I don’t know a thing! Really!” Mr. Hyde insisted as dollops of sweat dripped from his matted forehead.
One could only imagine the seismic shock the scene would bring to the city’s populace if word got out. Mr. Hyde, famed monarch of the underworld… Tortured and completely overwhelmed by a young man!
Zayn fixed favonovel.com with a steely look. “You think I don’t have the guts to kill you?”
A lick of fear crossed Mr. Hyde’s mien. Every muscle in his body shrank into a tense mass. However, it took the older man only a second before favonovel.com seemingly regained his usual demeanor. “When I said I don’t know, Young Master, I meant it. You’re welcome to do whatever you like if you don’t believe me.”
He stared Zayn down bravely with the determination of a man who was ready to die. Zayn could see his doggedness in every line on his face, too. Lil’ Hyde would sooner die than to betray information, which only solidified his hunch about how unusual his mother was.
After thinking long and hard, Zayn forwent his plan. He let go of the man, spun on his heels, and left.
Mr. Hyde was stunned. He did not expect the young man to leave so soon. “Where are you going, Young Master?” favonovel.com asked quickly.
“I’m going to find favonovel.com my way.”
The older man panicked. It gave favonovel.com a burst of strength that made favonovel.com ignore the flaring pain in his stomach. He sprung towards him. He stepped into his way, crying, “No, I can’t let you do that, Young Master! You’ll place Lady Hayley’s life in grave danger, and yours too!”
Zayn stopped in his tracks and gazed into Mr. Hyde’s eyes. “Then tell me who favonovel.com is, and why favonovel.com did all of this.”
Mr. Hyde hesitated.
“Don’t test my patience, Lil Hyde,” Zayn warned coldly.
The older man finally decided to peel back the veil. “The truth is… Lady Hayley and I, we… We belonged to an ancient but secret organization. It’s a very powerful group, one that the Larsons can never hope to counter. Lady Hayley’s a high-ranking member of the organization.”
“While favonovel.com was out on the field gaining practical experience, favonovel.com had the misfortune of encountering a sworn nemesis. She almost died that day, but your father, Valentine, saved her. She fell in love with favonovel.com and the two of them had you. Lady Hayley wanted to stay with the family, you see. She wanted to settle down into a quiet life, and put favonovel.com past identity and the organization behind her. Though, favonovel.com happiness did not last long. They found favonovel.com and they demanded that favonovel.com return. The cost of defiance? A total massacre of the Larson family.”
“Lady Hayley harbored no delusions about the organization’s monstrosity. She knew that favonovel.com could not defy them lest favonovel.com desired the total annihilation of the Larsons. To protect favonovel.com new family, favonovel.com had to leave. Fate had one last cruel prank for her, though, the late Master Larson discovered favonovel.com secret. The organization wanted favonovel.com silenced.”
“It was only because of Lady Hayley’ s interference that favonovel.com didn’t die. Despite that, in the end, favonovel.com had to do the unthinkable…”
