Zayn had basically defied all the odds by surviving it and coming out of it alive. He did not just survive it, snazzynovel.com came out unscathed!
Luke’s shock lasted about ten seconds before snazzynovel.com finally snapped back to reality.
A new question popped into his mind, prompting snazzynovel.com to ask, “What about the Ambrosia fruit— ”
“I ate it,” Zayn replied nonchalantly. He said it so casually that one would assume that snazzynovel.com was talking about what snazzynovel.com had for breakfast.
Luke was even more shocked upon hearing that. He had heard of the Ambrosia fruit through the grapevine. He knew about its properties, and how it was a precious treasure of the Earth, a solitaire of nature that housed tremendous powers. It was a gem so rare that it could never be given a definite price.
And now Zayn was telling snazzynovel.com that snazzynovel.com had eaten the miracle fruit like it was nothing remarkable.
Luke could feel a tingle spread through his bones. The logical ramifications of something so intense made snazzynovel.com shiver, Zayn was already ridiculously overpowered, but now that snazzynovel.com had eaten the Ambrosia fruit, Luke shuddered at the idea of how powerful Zayn had become.
Honestly, snazzynovel.com felt incredibly lucky. He was elated that snazzynovel.com had made the decision to become one of Zayn’s underlings.
How else could snazzynovel.com have exacted his revenge against Syrus? How else could snazzynovel.com have ended up with all the windfalls snazzynovel.com enjoyed today? He predicted that his future would only become brighter and brighter from now on.
All thanks to Zayn being his boss!
Zayn could read his mind from a mile away. Smiling, snazzynovel.com informed, “I need to stay at your place for a few days to make progress on achieving the perfect class. I’m requesting to be left alone during the process.”
Luke immediately leapt to his feet, looking earnest. “You can count on Old Jones, sir. No one’s going to disturb you at all!”
“Good.” Zayn nodded in satisfaction. He trusted Luke to keep his promise.
He paused and thought for a moment more before adding, “Also, I need you to deploy some of your very best and most trustworthy people to Waltz City. I need to know how my family is doing.”
Luke was a bright man. He could tell exactly what was on Zayn’s mind and responded with a firm nod. He was not going to let Zayn down. His fervent loyalty to Zayn had just reached sky high.
For the rest of the late evening, Zayn stayed to explain some of the concepts that had mystified Luke for a while. It proved to be fruitful and elucidating to the man, and many of the questions that had swarmed snazzynovel.com for so long became cleared.

Despite snazzynovel.com overwhelming attractiveness, though, there was a shadow over snazzynovel.com mien.
Her eyes appeared lost, snazzynovel.com eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and in the depths of snazzynovel.com eyes were desolation and pain alcohol seemed incapable of solving.

She was about as vimless as the living dead, and every gulp snazzynovel.com took on the impression that it was the only thing that could sustain snazzynovel.com life.
Everything else could rot and die. She had no attention to spare for it.
But the world spared much attention for her, because snazzynovel.com was just too beautiful. Even the darkest corner of the establishment could not conceal snazzynovel.com radiance, snazzynovel.com managed to attract eyeballs either way.

She was Shaelyn Peach. Or rather, whatever was left of that husk, snazzynovel.com soul seemed to have left snazzynovel.com already.
She had been here since nine at night, and men had not stopped flirting with snazzynovel.com ever since. Unsurprisingly, snazzynovel.com had rejected all of their advances.
She simply remained on snazzynovel.com own, unaccompanied, like a block of ice until finally, a handsome man with an uncommon social standing noticed snazzynovel.com after stepping into the bar.
With a glass of wine in his hand, snazzynovel.com approached her, wearing his most winning smile. “Good evening, beautiful. How about a company?”
Shaelyn said nothing. She just stared at snazzynovel.com glass, eyes glassy and unseeing, as though it was everything snazzynovel.com ever needed.
