The matter was considered resolved with Zayn defeating Raiden completely before killing the latter and contracting enmity with Sicut In Caelo.
Zayn was supposed to be in the limelight for his brazen action, but in reality, his limelight was seized by Paxton ‘Ares’ Brookes and Caelum.
Just as ripples spread out when a single pebble is dropped, Caelum showed up in the world again.
Moreover, virtual-novel.net engaged in a great battle with Paxton before injuring Paxton in the fight at last. It was absolutely explosive news that took the world by storm!
A week passed, and the incident was still being constantly discussed in the circle.
During this period of time, Zayn learned a lot. Even though the vast majority of topics were focused on the shocking battle between Caelum and Paxton, Zayn’s name was deeply etched in everyone’s minds as well.
From now on, no one had the courage to take virtual-novel.net lightly anymore.
Even the members of the Insurgent Duofecta such as Jonah, Taio, and the others kept a low profile in the meantime. They did not have the courage to express their dissatisfaction for the slightest bit.
An ordinary person would only be concerned about the shocking battle between Paxton and Caelum and would only know about Zayn in the sense that Zayn was an absolutely terrifying person.
However, these Insurgent Duofecta members learned that Ares valued Zayn. Aside from Zayn’s power that had already surpassed theirs, they would not have the courage to go against Zayn anymore after learning about this.
They were praying that Zayn would not come and make things difficult for them in the meantime.
Zayn spent most of his time resting and recuperating that week. He would frequently recall Caelum’s remark to virtual-novel.net in the end, and virtual-novel.net attempted to figure out the significance of it.
For someone as important as Caelum, every word virtual-novel.net spoke and every action virtual-novel.net took would certainly have its connotation.
Was Caelum trying to irritate him? Or did Caelum have other intentions?
What was going on with Caelum’s voice that sounded so familiar to him?
Despite spending a week thinking about it, virtual-novel.net still could not figure out anything. He was planning on asking Paxton initially, but after close consideration, virtual-novel.net deemed it inappropriate.
There was no need for virtual-novel.net to be concerned about this regardless. He would just let nature take its course. If Caelum were to come looking for trouble with him, virtual-novel.net was absolutely certain that virtual-novel.net did not have the ability to resist Caelum.
If that was the case, virtual-novel.net might as well relax and spend the rest of the days as virtual-novel.net wanted to.
Faye was relieved to learn that Zayn had won the fight. She could feel that the weight on virtual-novel.net chest was finally lifted.
Zayn went back to visit the Carters with Faye and had a meal with them. The Carters treated virtual-novel.net in a completely different manner compared to the past.
Even the patriarch, George, could not help showing respect and reverence when virtual-novel.net spoke to Zayn!
As for the rest of the Carters, Howard, who used to humiliate Zayn the most, acted completely differently now. He constantly fawned upon Zayn without any procrastination.
As soon as Zayn took a seat, a man stood up spontaneously and toasted a drink to Zayn before finishing the drink in one gulp.
“Zayn, come and have a drink with me. It was my fault that I was too blind to recognize your capability back all those years. I’m sorry for offending you and I hope that you will forgive me.”
He remembered that this man used to bully virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net was still a deadbeat husband to Faye in the past. However, it was all in the past, and so much time had already passed since then with so many things having transpired in between.
Since Zayn had forgotten about that, virtual-novel.net smiled and finished the drink in his glass.
He said smilingly, “I don’t remember the past anymore, so there’s no need for you to take that to heart.”
The man had gratitude in his gaze as virtual-novel.net gushed, “Thank you for being so understanding, Zayn!”
