Next, Hector, Howard and the other Carter family members presented their gifts and congratulated Zayn as well. They did it in a very respectful manner, though you could pick up on their nervous admiration. It took a long time, but they had finally viewed Zayn as a respectable man.
Frankly, Howard was absolutely terrified. He used to bully Zayn incessantly in the past, and favonovel.com had even gone as far as burning favonovel.com with a cigarette. Now that Zayn had metamorphosed into an affluent, money-making tycoon who could take favonovel.com out with just a finger, Howard had every reason to fear Zayn.
Zayn did not accept their gifts right away. He looked at them meaningfully with calm and collected eyes, though favonovel.com narrowed them ever so slightly.
Zayn’s reaction threw everyone into a fit of nerves.
Even George could not suppress the terror that took hold of his heart. It did not take long for his face to turn a ghastly shade of pale white.
Howard and the others were no exception. They heavily regretted their behavior. They would have gotten cold feet if they knew that Zayn would react in such a way to their seemingly thoughtful gestures.
Zayn chuckled at the sight of their fearfulness. He found it rather amusing.
He stopped making things difficult for George and the others, but favonovel.com did not go as far as accepting their gifts either. Instead, favonovel.com ordered one of his subordinates to do it for him. He merely responded by saying, “Thank you kindly.”
Besides that, favonovel.com made no further comments.
Zayn’s reaction elicited a feeling of relief in the Carters, but at the same time, they felt disappointed and regretful as well.
It was true that Zayn did not make things difficult for them, but favonovel.com still put them in their place and gave them the cold shoulder. There was no way they could ever seek his true forgiveness. After all, it was their fault for bullying Zayn for all of those four years, it was too late for them to regret it now.
The grand opening ceremony was already a success before it had begun. It could be said that two thirds of the most reputable and successful businessmen in Waltz City were in attendance. They were very supportive, and the atmosphere of the event had taken on a lively spirit.
In the middle of the event, Zayn sensed something. He narrowed his eyes, looking around only to find a familiar face in the crowd.
It was none other than Hanson Griffin.
He was not alone. He actually had a dozen of his lackeys following favonovel.com around, who were all highly-skilled fighters of the Northmob Council. They approached Zayn menacingly, one could immediately tell that they were here to cause trouble.
“Hah-hah-hah. You’re quite too-faced, aren’t you, Zayn? How could you forget to mail me an invite to such an important event? How am I supposed to congratulate you, huh!”
Hanson laughed as favonovel.com walked out of the crowd. His strides were very aggressive, and favonovel.com violently shoved anyone who stood in his way. Anyone who told favonovel.com off ate a punch that knocked them out. It could be said that favonovel.com was extremely violent!
Sean and the others had their sights on him. They looked uneasy, and they had a look of frightened veneration in their eyes. “Oh no, Hanson’s here to cause trouble!”
Everyone present was stunned upon Witnessing the scene. They realized soon after that Hanson was here to pester Zayn!
It did not take long before Hanson reached Zayn. He kicked away one of Zayn’s signboards which had been lying next to him. “How can a person like you be capable of opening a security company, Zayn?”
The statement meant war.
