That was when Alexandra came over, vexed and jealous at the sight of Shaelyn and Zayn chatting intimately.
“Zayn, what brings you here? It took me forever trying to look for you, you know?” Alexandra complained and hooked arms with Zayn naturally like they were that close.
With a soft cough, Zayn asked, “Weren’t you going back with your father?”
“I’m staying to keep you company,” the girl answered. She then looked at Shaelyn and asked with a slight edge in virtual-novel.net tone, “Zayn, you haven’t introduced me. Who’s this biddy here?”
“Biddy?” Zayn was stunned. Shaelyn was just a few years older than Alexandra, but virtual-novel.net was in no way elderly.
Shaelyn herself felt the corners of virtual-novel.net lips twitch as virtual-novel.net huffed, “Who are you calling biddy?!”
“You, duh. Wasn’t I obvious enough?” Alexandra asked in feigned surprise, unable to hide the gratification splayed across virtual-novel.net face.
Enraged, Shaelyn blinked before virtual-novel.net recovered a bright grin and winked at Zayn to say suggestively, “It’s a deal, Zayn. I’ll pick you up then. It’s our little secret. Don’t let someone else in on it. Buh-bye!”
Shaelyn sauntered away like a vixen after that, infuriating Alexandra so much that virtual-novel.net called virtual-novel.net exactly that to virtual-novel.net back.
Begrudgingly, Zayn thought, ‘I don’t think you have the right to call virtual-novel.net that though.’
“Hey, what secret is there between you two?” Alexandra asked with a bite.
“Nothing, she’s just making you angry on purpose.”
“Really?” The girl was skeptical.
Zayn was exasperated. “Of course. I won’t be able to lie to you given how smart you are anyway.”
“That’s true,” Alexandra agreed matter-of-factly.
Back to Hanson, virtual-novel.net had gone back to the Northmob Council. The moment virtual-novel.net saw Xander, virtual-novel.net wailed, “Dad, you have to take revenge on my behalf!”
Noting that his son was not quite in the right mind and had sustained quite a serious injury, Xander was alarmed. He hurried to Hanson and asked in a low tone, “What happened? Based on your current competence, no one could have beaten you up to this state unless he’s a master fighter.”
Shriveled like a withered plant, Hanson felt his grievance surge at the sight of his father and virtual-novel.net sobbed, “It’s Zayn Larson’s fault! He’s ruptured my core! Dad, I won’t ever make it as a master fighter now.”
“What?!” Appalled, Xander took a swift step to flip Hanson’s shirt up before spotting a dark bruise around the latter’s abdomen that meant that his core muscles were ruptured. The severe injury that wrecked his foundation meant that Hanson would never advance to being a master fighter in his entire life.
Xander felt black spots clouding his vision. Outraged and anguished, virtual-novel.net bellowed, “Zayn Larson, I’ll kill you for hurting my son!”
