A hostile friendship
Getting acquainted with the elites of Argos was one of the sole reasons for Zi Han accepting Bridgette’s invitation. But he never expected the Governor’s son to come up to him so easily to strike up a conversation.Feng Xiao was every bit the arrogant leader just like his father, but there was a measured shrewdness in his eyes. Instead of waiting for Bridgette to do the honors, Feng Xiao took it upon himself to greet Zi Han and offer him a hand of friendship, shocking everyone else present at the party.Zi Han shook his hand firmly and spoke in a taut and disciplined voice, “Bridgette told me you’d be coming. But I didn’t know you were so eager to meet me.”Feng Xiao smiled and pressed Zi Han’s shoulder, his eyes flashing with hints of tame madness.“I always try to stay acquainted with those who are in the news, and you, my friend, have done your best to ruffle my feathers,” he replied before moving to the window and eyeing Zi Han’s car. “You know, there are only three Hellhounds in
The life of the party
Suyin and Kwang weren’t used to such luxuries, and even though Zi Han was a friend, they felt completely out of place in a house like this. But the maids and attendants did their best to make them comfortable by catering to their every need and treating them like royalty.Once the two had finished bathing and slipped into their linen gowns, the attendants took them into separate bedrooms and seated them before the mirror for their grooming session.Kwang didn’t even get the chance to voice his protest as they tilted his chair back and laid him on his back while two attendants clipped his nails and a third washed and dried his hair. Meanwhile, Suyin was given the full pedicure treatment, starting with an exotic fish spa. She nearly freaked out as she felt the little monster nibbling on her toes.“Ouch! What is this?” she cried out nervously. But the maid was quick to reassure her. “These are just harmless fish. They are good at exfoliating dead skin and easing the tension. Please try
A lavish homecoming
At four in the evening, as the last lecture concluded, Zi Han checked his phone anxiously. He knew he had given Zhen Lee a mammoth task and wondered if he had gone overboard this time.“Maybe I could have just asked him to rent a place instead.” Seeing no new messages in his inbox, Zi Han became concerned. There was no way he could take his friends back to the Silver Wind mansion and expose his connection with the Black Dragons, but if he suddenly canceled the plan to take them to his house, it would spoil his friendship and ruin his reputation.Just as he was ready to call Zhen Lee to hear what the problem was, he received a call from Dongxiang himself.“A decent property has been purchased as per your instructions, Master. I am sending you the location right now. I hope you find it to your liking.”A flood of relief washed over Zi Han’s face as he heard those words. “Thank you so much, Dong. You have made my life a lot easier.”“I am always at your service, Supreme Dragon. Just fe
A friend indeed
Bridgette couldn’t believe that Zi Han suggested she should allow those two losers to tag along. There was just no way in hell she was going to invite Kwang and his cousin to her pool party.“This isn’t some school tea party where there will be board games and cake,” Bridgette remarked in a snarky voice. “Your poor friends would be completely lost over there. Besides, they wouldn’t even be able to match the standards.”“Then I am not coming as well,” Zi Han replied curtly and prepared to pack his bag.Never in her life had Bridgette felt so humiliated. Not only had Zi Han turned down her invitation in front of her girl gang, but he didn’t even seem bothered to apologize. However, Bridgette Wong wasn’t the type of girl who would accept defeat so easily. As Zi Han was about to walk away, she stopped him.“Alright, your friends can come as well,” she said, dropping her father’s card on the table. “There is the address. Call me when you reach. The party starts at eight tonight, but the r
An elite invitation
Zi Han’s defiant reply sent shockwaves through the crowd of eager onlookers, and their upcoming duel soon became the talk of the campus.While Cheng Li had plenty of loyal supporters, ever since the students learned that Zi Han was a cultivator as well, a considerable portion of the campus crowd shifted in his favor.Even the professors had started treating Zi Han with respect, allowing him to sit where he pleased and take as long as he wanted to complete his assignments. The dean of the college had heard the rumor about Zi Han’s inheritance, and the fact that he had turned out to be a cultivator only added to his stature. Right now, Zi Han was well on his way to becoming a campus celebrity, but his friends still remained in the dumps.Even though Kwang stuck close to Zi Han, the others in the class never stopped ridiculing him, and the misfit Suyin also found herself in the same situation.The class cheerleader, Bridgette, riled up her group of chirpy girls and set her eyes on Suyin
Campus Rivalry
Zi Han’s refusal to enter the tournament came as a complete shock to Kwang, leaving him in a tight spot. He had already announced to all his classmates that this year Zi Han was going to break all records and become the youngest martial artist to qualify from Zhuxin.By now, the whole campus was abuzz with talk about the great tournament, and Zi Han had once again become the unwilling center of attention.Kwang knew he had acted way too impulsively, expecting Zi Han to support him, but now that he had shattered his hopes with his stern refusal, there was little else he could do than accept his fate. “Are you really sure you can’t do this for me?” he asked for the last time, hoping to change Zi Han’s mind. “I mean, the last date for registration is next week. You still have plenty of time to think it—”Even before Zi Han could speak, Suyin intervened on his behalf. “You really think Zi Han owes you something? You just put his name down to beat your own drum and get some free attention
