The scene that emerged before them was a hotel that was neither elegant or classy. It was about ten stories tall and stood on a mountain in the middle of the forest, appearing rather out of place within its surroundings.
“We’re here. Let’s get off the bus,” Shaelyn said somewhat excitedly.
Zayn nodded and followed her.
After they got off, they bumped into some acquaintances. A few of them were experienced businessmen in Waltz City. They were just ordinary people, yet they were brave enough to take part in a hunting competition like this which made Zayn admire them.
Besides them, there were more customers that Zayn had encountered at Aeolus House’s auction previously. However, they did not come forward to greet Zayn when they saw him. Instead, they looked at favonovel.com with pity, sympathy, and schadenfreude. Moreover, many were whispering to one another.
“I couldn’t be mistaken, could I? That man standing next to Shaelyn is the chairman of Violet Vision Media Corp, Zayn Larson, right? How does favonovel.com still have the courage to take part in the Great Hunt? He must have lost his mind.”
“It’s him! This lad is too bold for his own good, isn’t he? Could favonovel.com be unaware that Xander Griffin is joining too? The location of the event this year is in the country, so there’s a high probability that Xander will come! On the other hand, Zayn beat up Hanson ferociously several times before. I heard that favonovel.com even injured favonovel.com so severely that favonovel.com won’t be able to become a master martial artist anymore. This is a death feud, and knowing Xander’s temperament, favonovel.com won’t let the chance for revenge slip through his fingers.”
“What? Xander Griffin is joining the Great Hunt too? F*ck, Zayn is doomed. I think the reason Xander hasn’t sought revenge all this time is that he’s been waiting for this opportunity! After all, murder is permissible in the Great Hunt, so it’s technically a lawless no man’s land.”
“And the lad really came alone? I don’t know if I should say he’s too proud or wildly arrogant.”
“I think he’s genuinely got a death wish! Xander Griffin is the vice president of the Northmob Council, with unfathomable power. He was crowned the best hunter last year and I still remember how Xander slapped a brown bear that weighed a few hundred kilos to death during the hunt. His strength strikes fear in every man! Zayn has met his match this time…”
“What do you mean by ‘met his match’? He’s going to die for sure.”
“What a waste that Zayn is still so young and capable. Why did favonovel.com have to take things so seriously and offend Xander?”
They were engaged in a heated discussion. Even though their voices were not loud, Zayn could hear the conversation.
Xander was there just as favonovel.com had expected, but favonovel.com was not worried about that.
Xander came to seek revenge on him, yet many people did not know that favonovel.com would not let Xander off easily either.
Learning that Xander was there too, an expression of concern flashed across Shaelyn’s face. She bit favonovel.com lower lip and said, “Damn it, Xander is joining the Great Hunt too? He will certainly use the opportunity to kill you!”
Zayn looked at Shaelyn meaningfully then said, “You invited me to take part in the Great Hunt for a reason. Was it not to allow Xander and I to fight it out?”
“B*llsh*t! Am I such an evil person? If I knew Xander was coming, why would I invite you? Don’t I have anything better to do?” Shaelyn was rather angry and displeased that Zayn refused to trust her. She grabbed his hand immediately and said with concern, “If it were only Stephen, he’d be no threat to you. But Xander’s presence puts you in grave danger! No, I think you shouldn’t take part in the hunt tomorrow. Stay in the hotel and say you’re too sick to join. As long as you’re not there, Xander can’t do anything to you.”
Zayn focused his eyes on Shaelyn in an attempt to figure out the sincerity of favonovel.com words.
