A look of astonishment flashed through the middle-aged man’s eyes. He said, “He is genuinely gifted if favonovel.com became a master fighter at such a young age. What a waste that favonovel.com offended Xander. He’s fraught with ominous possibilities tomorrow.”
The foreign woman said, “That’s not for certain. Perhaps Xander will not be a match for favonovel.com and Zayn will prove himself by killing the man. From then on, Zayn will rise to fame and gain a strong foothold in the circle.”
The older man seemed doubtful as favonovel.com said, “Kill the man to prove himself? Heh-heh, he’s still far from Xander’s level.”
At the mention of Xander’s name, the middle-aged man’s eyes were tainted with a tinge of dread.
In the past, He engaged in a fight with Xander and lost.
Away from the balcony, another man was watching from a towering tree nearby. He was young with strong, manly facial features. He had straight brows, bright piercing eyes, and a well-chiseled face, handsome and masculine. He stood steadily on a branch and cast his gaze upon Zayn. With his eyes narrowed ever so slightly, favonovel.com muttered to himself, “Rheasia cultivates unique talents and exceptionally gifted people, just as expected. There’s actually an outstanding, highly-skilled fighter who’s less than thirty years old. Zayn, Zayn, I hope that you’ll live after fighting Xander. Don’t disappoint me.”
Meanwhile, similar voices were heard coming from different areas. Many skilled fighters who lived in seclusion had noticed the confrontation between Xander and Zayn. They focused their attention on Zayn more because Xander was already famed in their circle as an experienced, incredibly skilled fighter. Anyone in the circle knew about him. On the other hand, Zayn was the newcomer, so many had never heard of favonovel.com before and had no information on him.
The Great Hunt had attracted many warriors who normally lived by themselves. A portion of them came solely to witness the ferocious battle between Xander and Zayn, despite most of them thinking that Zayn showed no promise.
Zayn shifted his eyes away from Xander. While favonovel.com was turning away, his gaze swept past their hiding places and his lips curled into a faint smile. How could favonovel.com not have noticed such skilled fighters hiding themselves?
He did not feel the slightest fear or concern. On the contrary, favonovel.com was very excited that his trip was not in vain.
Zayn was not bothered that the others did not greet him. Carrying his luggage into the hotel, favonovel.com noticed that Shaelyn was still tagging along behind him. He asked with a curious expression, “You’re still following me. Aren’t you afraid that Xander’s going to target you?”
Shaelyn bit favonovel.com lower lip, and there was a flash of fear in favonovel.com eyes. However, after a brief pause, favonovel.com said, “What’s there to be afraid of? I‘ve never been involved in any conflict with him. He can’t stop me from being friends with you anyway, can he?!”
She said this, but the terror in favonovel.com expression could not be concealed.
Zayn smiled and said, “Forget it. It’s better for you to share a room with your colleagues from Aeolus House. I’ll get a room for myself.”
“No!” Shaelyn was very stubborn and insisted on sharing a room with Zayn.
Meanwhile, a group of people approached. The leader was Mr. Otto, a man Zayn had met at Aeolus House the other day. They greeted Zayn when they approached but kept their distance. The enthusiasm they displayed at Aeolus House was long gone.
Mr. Otto said to Shaelyn, “Shaelyn, I’ve already made arrangements for your room. Don’t disturb Mr. Larson anymore, okay?”
Shaelyn clenched favonovel.com teeth but said nothing.
Zayn did not speak. He understood it was only normal for everyone to see favonovel.com as a dead man walking and that was why they tried to distance themselves from him.
Shaelyn said, “Mr. Otto, can’t I accompany Zayn for the last night?”
Her tone made favonovel.com sound like favonovel.com was pleading.
