"What? It's you." The disciples shared confused looks. They looked at the man in front of them and recognition flashed in their eyes. They recognized him as the super genius who had just won first place in the two competitions of the King Level contest. He was now a warrior of Imperial Level.
"Get out of my sight!" Zachary ordered.
The disciples scattered and ran for their lives.
"Harley, why are you here?" Jimmy asked.
"I have something to tell you. In the future, make sure you don't tolerate them. Don't hesitate to teach them a lesson," Zachary said in response.
"I'm afraid of being exposed," Jimmy said cautiously.
"Then outsmart them. Tolerance won't do them any good. Play dirty if you must. Just observe me and pick up on what I do by following me." Zachary smiled.
"What do you mean by following you?" Jimmy was taken aback.
"The Shura College will be holding a meeting with all the clans and sects in the Devil Kingdom. They want to recruit me. I have a plan, but I cannot mobilize it once I join them. I need someone to help me," Zachary explained. He didn't plan to share his plans with Jimmy, but he needed him there. He might also be a useful spy, if ever.
"Just say the word. It will be an honor to work for you," Jimmy responded earnestly.
"Really? You'd better think it over. I wouldn't want you to regret it," Zachary teased.
"I'm sure of it. I would gladly lay down my life for you." Jimmy looked determined.
"Okay, it's a deal then." Zachary nodded with a chuckle.
After that, he left.
'The next step is to persuade Queenie and Rebecca, ' he thought to himself. He knew he was being ambitious. The two girls would never agree with him joining any clan or sect in the Devil Kingdom. But he at least had to try. They would be very useful to him. In the future, he could return to the Enigmatic Kingdom with the power of the Ying Clan and the Hua Clan at his disposal.
He headed to the farmhouse with that in mind.
that his reasons were valid. However, she was still in the dark about his real identity.
"Are you still angry?" Zachary asked with an apologetic smile.
"Angry? When did I get angry?" Queenie blinked innocently.
"By the way, I have prepared a surprise for you, Rebecca, and Nelson," Zachary continued.
"A surprise? What is it?" She looked dumbfounded.
"I will tell you after the meeting." Zachary replied ominously.
"Send me away. I have to practice," she remarked pouting her lips.
Zachary shrugged and smiled. Then, in an instant, they were back where they were. Queenie turned her head away and started walking with her head held high.
Rebecca came out of the room and noticed Queenie and Zachary. Upon looking at their faces, she already guessed what had transpired between them.
"It seems that you and Queenie have reconciled. How did you persuade her?" Rebecca asked as she walked up to Zachary.
"I confided in her some secrets," Zachary answered honestly.
"Why don't I know about that? Care to tell me?" Rebecca folded her arms across her chest and looked at Zachary.
"Say please?" Zachary said with teasing eyes.
"Never mind. The less I know about you, the better. I can't risk jumping into the rabbit hole like Queenie did." Rebecca rolled her eyes and quickly walked out.
