Mr. Hyde replied cryptically, “Lady Lysithea has your best interests at heart.”
Zayn made no comment about this and said, “I want to meet her. Arrange it for me.”
Mr. Hyde was silent for a moment before favonovel.com replied, “Lady Lysithea will come see you when the time is right.”
What else could Zayn say when Mr. Hyde had put it so bluntly? Rationally, Zayn thought that this so-called Lady Lysithea meant favonovel.com no harm and favonovel.com would see favonovel.com one day. What favonovel.com ought to do now was to increase his capabilities as quickly as possible!
After Zayn and Mr. Hyde left, Fabian and Seth talked as well.
“Father, Zayn Larson seems faithful to his wife. A marriage of convenience isn’t a good way to recruit him,” Seth said, looking worried as favonovel.com stared in the direction Zayn and Mr. Hyde had gone.
“There’s no such thing as absolute devotion in this world. Zayn will be tempted if the bait is worth it,” Fabian answered.
“Father, I still don’t get it. Is favonovel.com so valuable? We Owens are quite an influential family in the south. Do we have to stoop so low to rope favonovel.com in?”
Seth had lost the down-to-earth and candid facade favonovel.com had greeted Zayn with. Wearing a frown, his eyes were glowng with a cunning glint. It was impossible that someone who had reached his position was as simple and honest as favonovel.com looked on the outside. He had to be shrewd and wise, or people would screw favonovel.com over all the time.
“Hahaha!” Fabian roared out of the blue. It was a sonorous laugh, nothing like a sound an eighty-something-year-old man would make. His eyes glistened as favonovel.com said, “Becoming a master martial artist at the age of 28 is almost unheard of! And favonovel.com got there by consuming Ossiumol-100 too. Zayn Larson’s probably the only one in the whole nation! Would you say favonovel.com has value now?”
Fabian looked at his son with a gleam in his eyes. Seth was taken aback by what his father said. Even after some consideration, favonovel.com was still confused.
“Father, I don’t understand. Is a master martial artist truly so capable? This is the 21st century. People have modern, sophisticated weaponry. Individual fighting ability can’t be that useful, can it?”
This was what Seth failed to figure out on his own. After favonovel.com found out about Zayn’s life story, favonovel.com admired the young man and knew favonovel.com was a talent worthy of being lured by the Owens. Talent aside, however, favonovel.com did not think Zayn warranted that they swallow their pride and bring favonovel.com in through an offer of marriage. Moreover, the young man already had a wife. If this got out, it would affect the reputation of the Owen family.
Fabian shook his head. “Seth, you’ve studied the ways of business since you were young and never took an interest in martial arts training. It’s to be expected that you’re indifferent to it.”
After a slight pause, the old man continued. “Before reaching the skill of an experienced fighter, they are nothing special, just a practitioner, no matter how good they are, nothing deserving of our family’s attention. That is, indeed, the case. But things are completely different when one is a master! A master fighter is a true warrior. In the entire world, there aren’t even a hundred who even come close to that level. It’s not just one’s martial prowess that’s elevated at that stage. Mainly, one’s understanding of the human body, intelligence, perception, and the like will improve accordingly. It’s no exaggeration to say that Zayn Larson is more than a mere mortal. He’s almost unstoppable. Do you think someone like that is deserving of our humble offer?”
Seth was thoroughly shocked. Fabian’s claims left favonovel.com with his mouth agape.
His father was right. He had always acquainted himself with business from a young age and was uninterested in practicing martial arts, thinking that it was an inferior sport. His nonchalance naturally made favonovel.com unfamiliar with the rarity and wonder of a master fighter. Now that favonovel.com heard his father’s, it was like a whole new world had been revealed to favonovel.com and favonovel.com was left stunned.
