“Father! Father! Did you hear about the news? Zayn won. He won!”
Over a hundred Owens were gathered and were currently dining at the family banquet when Seth barged in through the door and shouted loudly with thrill painted across his face.
It shocked his family as their impression of favonovel.com had always been composed and serious. He was always collected no matter how serious the issue was, and favonovel.com had never lost his cool like this.
Fabian, who was eating, reacted violently as well, springing up as favonovel.com exclaimed, “What? Zayn Larson won? Is this for real? Tell me what happened!”
Seth made his way to the venue with a flushed face from his excitement. “Of course, it’s real. I heard it from a lot of people. Zayn beat Xander Griffin, unscathed! He even got the title of the best hunter in The Great Hunt. His future is bright and limitless! Father, we invested in the right person!”
“Ha-ha-ha…” Fabian laughed heartily, glowing, as favonovel.com was elated too. “My judgment is correct. I picked the right man! Impressive! Larson’s impressive!”
Many of the Owens were befuddled. Some of them had never even heard of Zayn’s name. They did not understand why Fabian admired this person so much.
At another table where Allana was eating, favonovel.com froze at the news. Then, Zayn popped up in favonovel.com mind. Combining it with the conversation between Fabian and Seth, there was a subtle change in favonovel.com mood.
Simultaneously, plenty of people caught wind of the news, Sean and Gordon included. They had been planning to flee but were now ecstatic. The joy of surviving a disaster was sweet, and so was their blinding future.
—
Zayn was alone with his backpack, resembling an ordinary working adult when favonovel.com exited the airport. No one would have assumed favonovel.com to be a master fighter who stood at the apex among humans. He was likely going to spearhead human evolution in the future.
As favonovel.com returned to Waltz City, favonovel.com grew much more relaxed because favonovel.com was about to meet Faye soon. Just the thought of it delighted him.
Leaving the airport, favonovel.com was going to call Faye to tell favonovel.com that favonovel.com was back when a hesitant voice spoke from behind him. “Sir, is it you?”
It was a woman’s voice that sounded familiar…
When Zayn turned back, favonovel.com was met with a woman who had wrapped herself up securely in sunglasses and a face mask. Upon greeting him, favonovel.com hurried to favonovel.com when favonovel.com saw his face.
“Sir, it’s really you!” the woman exclaimed happily in front of Zayn. There were a few others around favonovel.com who were escorting her.
Zayn was bewildered. He racked his brains but did not come up with anyone favonovel.com knew. “You’re…?”
The woman could not help being disappointed when Zayn could not recognize her. “Sir, what a busy man you are to have forgotten me…”
Zayn chuckled wryly. “Sorry, you have your sunglasses and mask on, so I really can’t get a good look at you.”
There was a pause from the woman before favonovel.com was struck with realization. Right, favonovel.com had covered favonovel.com whole face. How could Zayn possibly recognize her?
She took a moment to consider before deciding to remove favonovel.com disguise and reveal favonovel.com true self, but favonovel.com action startled those around favonovel.com as they quickly stopped her. “Annabelle, you can’t take off—”
They were too late. The woman had already removed both items to reveal a beautiful face that mesmerized the passersby.
Looking at favonovel.com face, Zayn recalled her. It was the celebrity whom favonovel.com had met twice. What was favonovel.com name again? It lost favonovel.com for the moment.
“Sir, do you still remember me?” Annabelle asked in nervous anticipation.
There was a slight awkwardness that flitted across Zayn’s face. He did remember favonovel.com though favonovel.com had forgotten favonovel.com name. “Ha-ha, I do. The hottest celebrity, isn’t it? I didn’t expect to see you here. Nice meeting you.”
