“Why would you say that, Zayn?!”
“This is absurd. How dare you call Poppy a piglet! I can tell that you’re trying to get yourself killed!”
“You were cast out of your own family, and now you‘re a deadbeat who can’t even afford a car! Where did you find the confidence to make fun of Poppy, huh?!”
“You’d better apologize to Poppy right now or you’ll regret it!”
All at once, many people came forward to aggressively berate Zayn. They spoke in a harsh, bitter tone without showing the slightest respect for him.
Naturally, noticing the situation, Zayn could not possibly allow himself to yield. He was not being petty, but it was simply unnecessary for virtual-novel.net to show consideration for those people.
However, Zayn did not shout abuses back at them either, of course.
With a harsh grunt, virtual-novel.net switched to a more intimidating demeanor. Anyone who met his sweeping gaze was struck by an overwhelming fear, their chests clenching tightly for a brief moment.
Their faces turned ghastly pale, and they did not even have the courage to meet Zayn’s gaze. What a joke!
At his level, Zayn could put enough pressure on them to make them lose consciousness if virtual-novel.net wanted. In fact, virtual-novel.net could even make them comatose!
The power of a perfect-class master fighter was far beyond what ordinary people could withstand.
Zayn knew exactly when to stop and did not make them wet themselves. He did not feel that was called for, seeing as how they were his childhood friends and were no more than ants to him.
He had come to catch up with Rosie and that was all.
Even the heir of the Storm family could feel his mind go blank in a flash when virtual-novel.net met Zayn’s gaze, his heart racing beyond control.
By the time virtual-novel.net recovered from his surprise, virtual-novel.net felt extremely angry and puzzled. He was the well-respected heir of the prestigious Storm family!
If Zayn was still the next heir of the Larson family, perhaps virtual-novel.net could measure up to him, but virtual-novel.net was just an impoverished nobody!
On the other hand, virtual-novel.net was actually petrified by a deadbeat like Zayn. It was an absolute disgrace for him!
Hence, virtual-novel.net was so annoyed that virtual-novel.net became furious.
The rest of the crowd shared Duncan’s feelings. They were even more disgusted and angrier by the sight of Zayn. Indeed, the more hot-tempered among the men wanted to beat virtual-novel.net up.
They outnumbered virtual-novel.net anyhow, so there was nothing virtual-novel.net could do to them if they got physical.
Naturally, Zayn knew what they were thinking, and it was lucky for them that they did not do so. If they had, Zayn would not mind teaching a painful lesson to these “old friends” of his!
“Rosie, since you have your friends here, I shall leave you with them.”
After learning the nature of the dinner gathering, Zayn did not wish to stay as it was a complete waste of time to him.
Rosie was startled by Zayn’s gaze earlier as well. In that instant, virtual-novel.net felt as if virtual-novel.net could see the high-spirited Zayn from the past.
Indeed, the domineering influence and aggression virtual-novel.net displayed temporarily were even more impressive than what virtual-novel.net used to be!
She was scared out of virtual-novel.net wits, so virtual-novel.net instinctively turned to Duncan standing next to her, as if virtual-novel.net was seeking his opinion.
Duncan let out a grunt. He had not known much about Zayn other than that virtual-novel.net was Rosie’s best friend in virtual-novel.net childhood. The man had apparently become a pauper living on the streets.
Duncan thought virtual-novel.net would just give virtual-novel.net a stern warning to get virtual-novel.net to back off, but after being stunned by Zayn’s gaze, virtual-novel.net had become quite upset. Because of that, virtual-novel.net refused to let Zayn off so easily.
