"Calvin?" Zack exclaimed, looking up at Zed in surprise.
"Yes," Zed replied, his lips curling up into a sly smile.
"He has the nerve to come to your home!" Zack retorted. He shook his head and sighed. "You're too kind to him, you know?" he continued, his voice somber. "Do you still remember how he set you up in H City? I know you've forgiven him and helped him go back to the Li family." Zack looked up intensely at Zed. "But why would you let him come here under your own roof? Are you that confident that he won't turn on you?"
"Do you really think he is an ungrateful man?" Zed asked, his forehead creasing.
Jean listened to them silently. From Zack's tone, she could tell that he was still mad at Calvin for what he had done to Zed before.
When Calvin took revenge on Zed, Zack went abroad for Magnolia. If Zack had been there at that time, it would have been much easier for Zed to deal with Calvin.
'Wait. Now that I think about it. Wasn't Zack the one who suggested to invite Calvin to dinner or something?
Why is he blaming Zed now?' Jean thought to herself.
"Well..." Zack scratched his head in embarrassment and then sighed, "You've helped him so much. If he still wanted to do something to hurt you, then he hasn't earned the right to be treated like a normal human being."
"I agree with you. But Calvin did give me valuable information last time he came here," Zed said matter-of-factly.
"What? And what kind of information is that?" Zack asked, leaning in with interest.
A slight smile appeared on Zed's lips. He looked around the room, as if checking if there was anyone else listening in, and moved in closer to Zack to whisper beside his ear.
The smile on Zack's face slowly disappeared as he listened to Zed carefully. After Zed finished talking, Zack looked up at him in disbelief. "Have you confirmed the authenticity of that information?"
"Not long after Calvin told me that, my grandpa got the same information," Zed responded.
This made Zack freeze in surprise. He stared at Zed, unblinking. Then finally, he let out a deep sigh and shook his head. "Looks like Calvin finally understands right from wrong. Anyway, he had gone through the trouble to take revenge on you for..."
Although Zack didn't say the name, they knew who he was talking about—Christina.
Christina died at such a young age, which made Calvin an unthinking tool for vengeance.
It was fortunate enough that Zed was ab
Falling from nobility, Zen Luo became a humble slave and served as a human punchbag for his former cousins. Inadvertently, he found a way to refine himself into a weapon and a legend started because of that. With a strong belief in never surrender, he strove for revenges and pursued big dreams. Warriors from various clans contended for hegemony and the world was stirred. Relying on the body that was comparable to a powerful weapon, Zen beat his numerous enemies on his way to the immortality. Would he succeed eventually?
ght market, so I kept an eye on her the entire time. But I didn't see anything suspicious about her."
"Do you think Jesse would be that stupid to get caught so easily? Zed, I've told you, you trust Jesse so much that you refuse to admit that she would do something bad to you and Jean. Don't forget that she's not a common woman. She grew up with us and had the same education with us,"
Zack reminded with a serious look on his face.
Zed's face expression suddenly changed. "This time, if I find out that Jesse was involved in Jean's kidnapping, I won't be softhearted to her anymore," he said through his teeth.
"Okay, hope you won't forget what you said right now," Zack replied.
"Don't worry. If I figured out who kidnapped Jean, I would let them know how ruthless and cruel I could be. If Jean hadn't been smart enough to take advantage of Caleb when she was kidnapped, she would have been ruined or even killed. Every time I think of my pregnant Jean being forced to stay at that abandoned warehouse, I..."
Zed choked before finishing his words.
Zack had already known everything on this matter. So when he saw Zed really feel sad, he went over and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him, "I just want to help you to analyze the possibilities of the incident. You're a good-looking guy, and undoubtedly the target of different kinds of women."
"Stop making fun of me!" scoffed Zed, rolling his eyes at Zack. "Since you're here now, let's get moving," he continued. "I'd like to settle things here as soon as possible. I just want to leave Imperial Capital and live a peaceful life with Jean in H City."
