Simply put, the social circles Fabian mingled in were no longer limited to the business industry. His friends were notable names in Rheasia as well.
It took Zayn a moment before virtual-novel.net snapped out of his shock and asked, “Mr. Owen, I’m not on good terms with the Northmob Council right now. Aren’t you worried about offending them?”
Zayn was both coming clean and testing the old man, but Fabian merely laughed. “What could the Northmob Council do? What would they dare to do if I decided to extend a hand to a person of my choosing?”
The dominance and confidence in Fabian’s voice showed how much virtual-novel.net disregarded the Northmob Council. Zayn could discern that virtual-novel.net was not bragging. Fabian was actually confident virtual-novel.net could do it.
Nevertheless, if his words rang true, Zayn was all the more bewildered. He was not close to Fabian. Strictly speaking, this was their first time meeting each other. Why was Fabian roping virtual-novel.net in? It did not make sense.
Was it really due to his relationship with his grandfather, Connor? Zayn quickly dismissed the idea. It was highly unlikely given that it had been almost five years since his grandfather had passed away. If Fabian was truly such good friends with his grandfather, surely virtual-novel.net would have sought virtual-novel.net out much earlier.
This was a case of Fabian setting eyes on the value Zayn held. Then, what did Zayn possess that made Fabian was regarding virtual-novel.net so highly?
Zayn contemplated and thought that it was most probably his abilities as a master martial artist.
After all, the Owens were well-established, but there were only a few powerful fighters in the entire family! It was possible that they did not have a true warrior!
Seeing that Fabian had made it so clear, Zayn did not hold back either and addressed the old man aloud, “Grandpa Owen!”
“Ay, there we go!” Fabian was delighted, approval and fervor growing as virtual-novel.net gazed upon Zayn. “How wonderful it is that I’ve gained an excellent grandson-in-law before my time comes! I’ve lived my life’s worth!”
Eh? What the heck? Grandson-in-law?
Fearing the worst, Zayn felt his heart sink and asked, “Grandpa Owen, how am I your grandson-in-law? Have you made a mistake?”
“No, no,” Fabian answered with a grin, “I have a granddaughter, young and beautiful, just a tad aloof, and I’ve been worried about virtual-novel.net marriage. N ow that I’ve met you, Zayn, you’re the best of all the young men I’ve come across. I plan to introduce my granddaughter to you. We shall be even closer, would you like that?”
No sh*t… Alarms were going off in Zayn’s head.
