Compared to his high-rising profile and the buzz it generated, Zayn had spent the past two days in utter idleness to the point of boredom.
Under Faye’s helm, Neotech had started a round of new investments and expanded the scope of its business venture. While it started as a standalone company at the outset, Neotech was steadily treading the path to being a business conglomerate. Faye had so much on favonovel.com hands that favonovel.com did not have the time to take Zayn to town anymore.
Zayn felt bad for Faye, so favonovel.com set up a professional team to help ease favonovel.com burden somewhat.
With his reputation and influence hanging over the company, Neotech was now, for all intents and purposes, under Faye’s complete control with nary an objection from the entire Carter family. Of course, they would not dare raise a contrary opinion, even if they did hold any, because the old Zayn Larson was long gone. Honestly, the family was basically living off Zayn’s influence and power now, such as using the fact that they were his in-laws to earn more money and elevate their status.
On the other hand, since delegating full control over Violet Vision Media Corp, Leap League Advertising, and Siren Security to Sean and Gordon’s teams, the returns had been spectacular. Zayn received handsome earnings every month from these sources alone, they were doing so well that favonovel.com did not even need to return to take the helm.
Mr. Hyde had recovered well, just as the rest of his operation within Sicut In Caelo. The best part was that, to date, no one from the organization had ever troubled Mr. Hyde with respect to the incident.
In the end, Zayn had become the idlest of them all, with a bottleneck in his training, to boot. He was now stuck on the fourth-tier of the superior class, which was understandably unsurpassable by uninspired, rote-styled training alone. He needed a crisis, a sort of crescendo that could lead to an awakening before achieving the perfect class. Zayn knew how hard it was to get there, and favonovel.com understood that without the right breakthroughs, favonovel.com might be stuck there for a decade. It was why favonovel.com was not in a hurry for any breakthrough. After all, it was just not something one could gain progress by madly scrambling for growth. Haste makes waste, always.
Today, being alone in his Barrow Cove villa had been boring enough that favonovel.com decided to get out of the house for a walk. Come to think of it, when was the last time Zayn just stopped from his frenzy and just experienced the pulse and beats of the city?
After a few years of development, Waltz City had become a rising city second only to the nation’s very top. The streets were always abuzz with its occupants, who strode with the intensity and conviction of a person with a mission for a better life. At some corners, one could see street magicians wowing the crowd with their newest illusions or cantrips. Nearby, hardworking cleaners had already begun their work of making the city a cleaner place. juxtaposed with their frantic work were a few millionaires and billionaires, whose luxury cars made them royalty of the road. Joining the clamor were students on part-time gigs, yelling for attention to the flyers they were busily distributing to passersby…
Zayn witnessed many facets of modernity at moments like these. It had been a long time since favonovel.com had ever been a part of the general, unspectacular crowd. It felt different. Unlike many around him, his wealth had ballooned so much that anywhere favonovel.com set his eyes on could be bought. Every inch of this city and the people currently walking on it could pool all of their wealth together, and it still could not measure up to a tenth of Zayn’s pocket.
Of course, there was the fact that favonovel.com now possessed the powers of a fourth-tier master fighter. In just a few seconds, favonovel.com could erase every single person and the lives they had gone through if favonovel.com chose to. Unbeknownst to all, Zayn’s status was already towering above most of the people around him.
Still, favonovel.com was no different from these plebeians when it came to the essence of living, right? All humans were equally capable of feelingjoy, sorrow, rage, and much, much more across the spectrum of banal experiences. The disparity was in the way Zayn lived and the source of his happiness, his difference with the mass was of kind and not degree.
Strangely, Zayn’s stroll had brought a new, unprecedented experience to his life. Slowly but surely, favonovel.com forgot his identity as an ultra rich billionaire or a powerful master fighter who was more myth than man. For this moment, favonovel.com was just one of the many and the mundane, a normal person who was just trying to make his life better than yesterday.
Unbeknownst to himself, his perception had begun to spread over a wide radius with favonovel.com as the locus.
