The crowd of people did not speak nor refute it when they noticed that Zayn kept quiet. They thought that Zayn was listening to their lecture, so they were gloating to themselves.
It seemed that Zayn was still a tenderhearted, sensitive man who was easily swayed by such talk
They assumed favonovel.com could be manipulated easily by using a “hard-and-soft” approach, and did not fear favonovel.com would change his mind about coming home.
They thought favonovel.com would join their family, allowing them to use his status and identity to regain their prior glory and become the most powerful clan in Waltz City once again.
In fact, with Zayn being the chief instructor of Insurgent Trifecta and an unmatched perfect-class master fighter, they could even try to take things one step further and become the most powerful family in all of Guineve!
Unfortunately for them, they had underestimated Zayn. They did not know what favonovel.com had endured over the last five years and how much his temperament had changed. Plus, they were still in the dark as to how much favonovel.com hated them.
“Well said.” Zayn chuckled and clapped.
The uncle’s eyes lit up as favonovel.com said, “So, Zayn, I suppose you’re willing to come back to the family? That’s wonderful. You live up to the Larsons name!”
“As a member of the family, it’s your duty to lead us to glory, and I believe your grandpa would be very pleased to know you did the right thing. hah-hah-hah.”
The rest of them began to smile as well and assumed Zayn had been ensnared.
However, just as they were swelling with pride, Zayn’s voice turned frosty, “I’ve already let the Larsons off in the past. I’m here today only for Grandpa’s memorial, and I’m not planning on lowering myself to your level.”
“Yet, all of you old men think that you’re some hot sh*t and are trying to lecture me by taking advantage of your seniority?”
Upon saying that, Zayn stamped on the ground, and a loud thud could be heard echoing through the entire mansion, terrifying them all.
It felt as if it was an earthquake and the ceiling above them began to shake, startling the Larsons.
“What the heck is going on? Could it be an earthquake?”
“Oh god, what’s happening?”
Zayn stamped his foot once again. The ground underneath his feet split apart, the cracks spreading out like a Spiderweb.
All at once, everyone finally realized that it was not an earthquake but Zayn’s doing.
They did not have the courage to speak anymore and stared at Zayn in fear.
Zayn’s cold gaze swept past them. “Do you really think I’m the same fool from five years ago that you could manipulate as you pleased?
Zayn’s menacing presence was more than they could handle. They felt like they were being struck by stormy, gale-force winds, making their legs tremble uncontrollably.
The few old men who had tried their luck kept their mouths shut.
Zayn’s eyes scanned every single person’s face before favonovel.com finally said, “I’m back here for Grandpa’s memorial, not to listen to your nonsense!”
“From now on, if you have the gall to make a sound and ruin my mood, I’m willing to wipe the Larsons out of Waltz City.”
They cowered in fear when they realized favonovel.com was not joking. They did not have the audacity to meddle again.
