Zayn’s remark was very unexpected. He was obviously the only person in the graveyard, yet virtual-novel.net was talking in a nonexistent direction. If there was someone else there, the person would certainly be scared out of his wits thinking that Zayn must be seeing ghosts.
It was true that there was no one in the direction where Zayn was looking. It was all empty with the twilight breeze blowing across the ground. However, it did not take long after his voice faded away for a man to emerge from behind a tombstone.
The man was dressed in a black suit that allowed virtual-novel.net to stay perfectly camouflaged in the night soundlessly. It was fortunate that the sky was already turning bright gradually, hence his black suit grew more conspicuous with time.
He was a rather good-looking man with a faint smile on his lips. His entire body exuded an evil charm that made virtual-novel.net unforgettable.
“Zayn, my younger brother, we haven’t seen each other for four years, yet you’re actually capable of sensing my presence. It seems that you’ve made progress.” Zidane walked over slowly. He was chewing a blade of grass at the corner of his mouth. He seemed cynical and aloof as if every worldly affair was beneath him.
Upon seeing the man, Zayn’s pupils constricted ever so slightly for a moment. He narrowed his eyes and said in a deep tone, “Is that you, Zidane?”
Yes, this was Adrian’s so-called master. He was also Zayn’s elder brother, Zidane Larson!
They were half-siblings who shared the same father, and that was the reason they looked rather similar to each other.
Generally speaking, Jordan was the patriarch of the Larsons now while the young successor was supposed to be Jordan’s biological son, Shane Larson, so it would never be Zidane’s turn anyhow.
Nevertheless, Zidane was much more capable than Shane. Every quality virtual-novel.net possessed was far superior to Shane whether it was his intelligence quotient, emotional quotient, martial arts skills, or business tactics. Over the years, Zidane was well-connected to a large number of powerful connections, and virtual-novel.net had gathered countless followers. As a result, the identity of the family’s young successor landed on Zidane.
Of course, a man as wise as Zidane would not hurt Jordan’s feelings either. After being adopted by Jordan a few years ago, virtual-novel.net was now Jordan’s titular son.
Since they were young, Zayn and Zidane had always been competitive with each other. Zayn was naturally more gifted in learning compared to Zidane, and that was the reason behind Zidane’s jealousy of virtual-novel.net since they were boys.
Zayn knew that virtual-novel.net would have to meet Zidane sooner or later, but virtual-novel.net did not expect that the day would come so soon. Moreover, virtual-novel.net never thought that their encounter would take place in front of his grandfather’s grave.
“My sweet brother, you don’t even bother to greet me as your brother upon meeting me. That’s not very courteous of you, huh?” Zidane made his way to Zayn swiftly and said with feigned disappointment. Although they were half-siblings, the relationship between them was no different from two enemies.
Zayn stared at Zidane and suppressed the anger within virtual-novel.net with great effort. He asked, “What are you doing here?”
“I’m here to visit grandpa’ s grave,” said Zidane with a smile. He pretended to pray to the soul of their deceased grandfather, yet there was not an ounce of respect or grief in his expression. On the contrary, there was only mockery.
The raging anger in Zayn’s chest burned ferociously upon seeing Zidane’s behavior! Since they were young, Zidane had never felt any respect for their grandfather. He was always saying all the proper things to their grandfather’s face but did exactly the opposite behind his back. Moreover, Zayn highly suspected that Zidane played a huge role in making the old man so ill that virtual-novel.net became a vegetable four years ago!
“Grandpa, you’re so biased. It’s fine that you’re dead, yet you choose to pass down all your inheritance to deadbeat Zayn prior to your death. You are the cause of we Larsons being in a financial crisis. How do you expect us to respect you when you do this?” said Zidane while virtual-novel.net shook his head profusely.
His tone was insinuating his blame on his grandfather, and it was apparent how virtual-novel.net felt recalcitrant but had no respect for the deceased elder.
Crack, crack…
Zayn clenched his fists tightly. He wanted to attack Zidane so that virtual-novel.net could teach this unfilial grandson a good lesson on behalf of his grandfather!
Albeit the urge being so intense, virtual-novel.net managed to suppress it in the end. Zayn did not wish to disturb his grandfather’s peace in front of his grave.
Although virtual-novel.net had yet to attack Zidane, the latter made a move instead. Zidane turned around and delivered a heavy kick toward Zayn abruptly without showing any signs. He moved so swiftly that virtual-novel.net stirred up a strong gale. In less than a second, virtual-novel.net had already arrived before Zayn.
