He halted when virtual-novel.net reached the door and said, “From now on, I want nothing to do with the Larsons, and all of you are forbidden from contacting me.”
And with that, virtual-novel.net walked out of the door and vanished. Everyone left in the hall exhaled a breath of relief about ten seconds after virtual-novel.net left. Their tense bodies suddenly relaxed, they were all practically gasping for air.
It was inevitable. Zayn’s presence carried a force so strong to them that it felt like a huge mountain pinned against their bodies. It was suffocating!
A short while later, a senior member of the Larson family said, “So, does that mean Zayn’s let us off for real?”
He used the word ‘let off’, which was a sign of virtual-novel.net being subconsciously fearful of Zayn.
“I suppose?”
“Sigh. I really didn’t expect virtual-novel.net to learn the truth, I really didn’t expect it at all.”
“That’s right. The events that have taken place tonight have surpassed all of our expectations. Zayn is truly ruthless, and we’ve somehow managed to underestimate virtual-novel.net despite that.”
“He’s already gone anyways. Knowing him, I don’t think he’ll go back on his word.”
“But we’re still in the middle of a family crisis.”
“Let’s just hope that Zayn won’t be able to find Hayley, or else it’s going to come and bite us in the back.”
Zidane was already back to his usual self. His eyes were glistening with recalcitrance as virtual-novel.net gazed in the direction where Zayn had vanished. He had lost to Zayn completely, and it was very, very hard for virtual-novel.net to come to terms with his loss!

“Mom, why did you have to do that? Why did you have to do that?”
“It’s fake, it’s all fake, right? The kindness that you show me, the care that you gave me and the love that you have for me, is it all fake?”
“Mom, where are you now, where are you?”
Zayn came out from The Oasis only to be assaulted by a barrage of raindrops. The rain soaked his body, drenching his shirt within no time at all.
It was already late autumn, so the temperature was naturally chillier at night. It was fifty degrees Fahrenheit, to be exact. The weather was even colder with the rain. Everyone on the street was wearing some form of cotton-padded jacket, while virtual-novel.net was only wearing a layer of unlined garment. Considering his attire, you would think that virtual-novel.net would be shivering uncontrollably.
However, virtual-novel.net did not show the slightest sign of discomfort, even in the biting cold of the weather, virtual-novel.net felt no colder on the inside.
He encountered many people along the way, in fact, virtual-novel.net drew the attention of almost all of them. They pointed their fingers at virtual-novel.net and criticized virtual-novel.net for being a madman. Some even accused virtual-novel.net of being an attention, seeking hipster for dressing so inappropriately on such a cold, rainy day. They were certain that virtual-novel.net would freeze to death.
However, Zayn disregarded them all as virtual-novel.net silently continued on. His mind was a chaotic mess. He had never been as flustered as virtual-novel.net was at the moment. He was completely out of his wits, as if virtual-novel.net had just fallen into a pit of sharp icicles.
All of a sudden, a car pulled into his right. Its headlights were trained on him. He could just make out the stunned expression of the person in the car.
“Madam, that person right there. He looks just like Mr. Larson, doesn’t he?”
The secretary seated right next to virtual-novel.net pointed at Zayn in astonishment as the words left virtual-novel.net lips.
The woman raised virtual-novel.net head, obviously astounded by the sight of Zayn. Biting virtual-novel.net lower lip hard, virtual-novel.net said, “Follow virtual-novel.net and see where he’s headed.”
The woman was none other than Faye. She was supposed to head back to the company after signing the agreement with Seamus, but virtual-novel.net decided against it. Her inner voice had called out to virtual-novel.net and told virtual-novel.net to stay and wait.
She waited for a rather long time. Just as virtual-novel.net was about to lose virtual-novel.net patience, the person virtual-novel.net was waiting for finally appeared.
