The figure broke through the door and killed Vulcan with a slap within the span of two seconds. The entire process happened in the blink of an eye. An ordinary person would not have been fast enough to react.
Even Zayn did not manage to react to the situation immediately. It was not that favonovel.com was slow but because favonovel.com was stunned when favonovel.com saw that the man who forced open the door was Mr. Hyde. By the time favonovel.com snapped back to his senses, Mr. Hyde had already killed Vulcan.
“Lil Hyde!” Zayn widened his eyes abruptly and grabbed Mr. Hyde by his collar. “What the hell are you doing?!”
Despite being manhandled by Zayn, Mr. Hyde did nothing, merely replying, “If I didn’t kill him, you’d be in danger.”
Upon hearing that, Zayn relaxed a little.
Mr. Hyde continued to say, “This man was called Vulcan, and favonovel.com was one of the peripheral members of Sicut In Caelo. He was a gifted fighter, so his defeat signifies that you’ve already mastered your martial arts skills. If Lady Hayley could see this, favonovel.com would certainly be pleased. Nevertheless, your current capabilities are still insufficient if you wish to confront Sicut In Caelo and save Lady Hayley. ”
There was no need for Mr. Hyde to continue talking as Zayn already understood his intentions. He killed Vulcan to keep favonovel.com from divulging any information about Zayn if favonovel.com was allowed to live.
“It was still a human life.” Zayn loosened his grip on Hyde. He heaved a sigh and looked at Vulcan’s lifeless body on the ground. Pity and sympathy briefly flashed through his eyes.
Mr. Hyde was also looking at Vulcan lying there. He said, “With great victory comes great sacrifice. Being kind to your enemies means being cruel to yourself. If you freed Vulcan, favonovel.com would certainly report the incident to Sicut In Caelo, so the consequences would have been dire.”
Naturally, Zayn was well-aware of this. He knew that Mr. Hyde did it for his benefit, so favonovel.com did not blame him. He just could not bear to see a life fade right before his eyes.
“Master, you’re too kindhearted and you share this trait with Lady Hayley,” said Mr. Hyde while looking at Zayn.
Zayn smiled pleasantly and said, “Hah, your appraisal of me is the direct opposite of Vulcan’s. He claimed that I’m nothing like the Saintess. He said I’m too cruel whereas the Saintess was kind.”
Mr. Hyde chuckled. He shook his head and said, “That’s because Vulcan didn’t know you well.”
While Zayn and Mr. Hyde were chatting away in the room, Gordon and the others were shuddering outside in fear.
Mr. Hyde had appeared very suddenly with a large group of people looking rather threatening. Hyde had pulled a long face and walked into the house with neither a word nor a greeting, so they were scared out of their wits!
Mr. Hyde was so famous in Waltz City that his reputation preceded him. He lived up to his name as the underworld king, so favonovel.com would not care about someone as powerful as Gordon, let alone his lackeys.
After Mr. Hyde dashed into the room eagerly, they were restrained by his subordinates. They were surrounded by these people and were extremely helpless. Even Gordon was not spared.
Gulp!
One of them gulped loudly and cautiously inquired, “Mr. Hayes, what is Mr. Hyde planning on doing by running here? We haven’t done anything to offend him, have we?”
The rest of them were looking at Gordon anxiously as well.
Gordon knew about Mr. Hyde’s relationship with Zayn, so favonovel.com was not too concerned with that. He said with a grim tone, “Do you think that Mr. Hyde will still be so polite to you if you really offended him? Knowing favonovel.com and his tricks, you would’ve been tossed into the sea. Don’t worry, Mr. Hyde is working for Mr. Larson, so he’s here to see him.”
“Mr. Hyde is actually working for Mr. Larson? Mr. Larson is truly incredible! He looks so young, yet favonovel.com has so much power. That’s astonishing.”
“Cut the crap. Haven’t you seen how awesome Mr. Larson was earlier? His presence is so intimidating. Why do you think our Mr. Hayes obeys him, huh?”
“Since Mr. Larson is so great and we have favonovel.com as our backer, we will be able to do whatever we want and rule over Waltz City from now on, right?!”
“That’s a given. From today onwards, Mr. Larson is my idol. No, favonovel.com is more than just an idol!”
