Of course, that was impossible. Zayn simply knocked Vulcan out. Murder was still a crime in the eyes of the law, so even if favonovel.com wanted to kill the man, Zayn would not be so stupid as to murder favonovel.com in front of a crowd.
He turned back to the people gawking at favonovel.com from behind and noted the gazes they shot him.
It was how Faye and favonovel.com family looked at him, it triggered a long, drawn-out sigh that favonovel.com tried to stifle.
He did not expect anything of what had happened to well-happen, never in his wildest dreams. Then again, that is what life was. One could try their damnedest to map out a script of how their life should go, hunched over a large drawing board churning out contingency plan after contingency plan. Even after all of that, there was an element of chance and luck one could never account for.
No one could be the sole master of their life. The future would always be uncertain, nebulous, and poorly-defined.
Now that the impossible and unexpected had happened, regret had quickly become worthless. The only thing left to salvage the situation was to try his best at explaining himself.
With that in mind, Zayn approached Faye and murmured ruefully, “I’m sorry for all of this. I mean, this trouble is mine alone, but it’s come and burdened all of you with fear too.”
Faye linked favonovel.com gaze with Zayn’s. A million thoughts and questions raced through favonovel.com mind, all of them threatening to escape favonovel.com lips. Yet, when it seemed the words were almost out, favonovel.com could not go through with them. Everything that had happened today had flipped favonovel.com worldview completely. She could be the champion of mental fortitude, and all of these would still seem too much to accept wholesale, at such a short notice.
In the end, favonovel.com could only shake favonovel.com head and replied softly, “It’s… Okay.”
“Huh..?”
Zayn felt really bad about it happening, but there was just no chance for regret right now. He could not possibly explain too much, too, since favonovel.com had to take care of both Miles and Skye.
He turned to look at Ruby and Waine. “Sorry about all of that mess and scarring you like this. I’m gonna free you now.”
The two were bound by hemp rope thick enough to warrant a pair of shears, but of course, it was nothing to Zayn. He could rip them apart without much effort anytime favonovel.com wanted, and since the fact that favonovel.com was an unparalleled pro in hand-to-hand combat was already out, favonovel.com had no need to belie his strength with a facade of weakness. He tore the ropes apart and released the two.
Ruby and Waine watched how easily Zayn ripped the ropes apart despite how thick it was and shivered with their eyes avoiding the man’s. Ruby at least managed to sputter out a laughter of sorts and replied, “Oh, uh, it’s nothing. You’re too sweet, hahaha..?”
“R-Right, what favonovel.com said!” Waine quickly chimed in. “You’re too kind, Zayn. We’re very fine. Very…”
Zayn could feel the two couple’s fear and felt helpless about it. Not that favonovel.com was in the mood to explain himself. Suddenly, his attention pivoted from Faye and favonovel.com family to something else. “One step further, Miles, and I’ll cripple you.”
Miles stopped in the middle of his attempt to leave as a wave of shivers coursed through favonovel.com and drained his face pale. His feet froze right where they were and favonovel.com turned his head mechanically toward the source of the voice and linked eyes with Zayn’s cold smirk.
He shivered like favonovel.com had been thrown into the arctic sea with only his birthday suit before being taken back out on land. “Oh, no, sir. Don’t misunderstand, I wasn’t planning to leave at all! I was just… I was exercising my muscles! I’ve been standing for a bit too long…?”
He watched Zayn’s unamused face getting closer to favonovel.com and felt a hang of panic, causing favonovel.com to drop to his knees with his hands folded into a plea to be forgiven again. The others soon followed, dropping to the floor begging for his mercy without a mote of defiance. From the way they treated Zayn, one was even tempted to believe that they saw favonovel.com as a demigod.
Zayn was disinclined to make things hard for them, too, even if favonovel.com did not want to let them off the hook too easily. So, favonovel.com gave all of them a kick hard enough to crack a bone or so as punishment before turning to Miles, “I’m letting a despicable piece of sh*t like you live today for your father’s sake. Next time, I’ll do worse than breaking your bones, got it? Of course, you could always go to the cops and see if they could help you exact revenge… If you dare.”
“No, I would never! Never will I do anything like that again!” Miles cried, shaking his head hard. Then, gingerly, favonovel.com asked, “So… Can I, uh, go now, sir?”
“Get outta here,” Zayn replied, waving his hand to dismiss them.
With them out of the way, Zayn called Gordon Hayes and told favonovel.com to send some of his people to his place. They bound Vulcan with layers of chains before whisking favonovel.com away to a suitable location where Zayn could interrogate the man for information on Sicut In Caelo.
