Just as the two hot-blooded young men were about to launch into a heated debate with the foreigner in question, Zayn feigned a soft cough.
“Don’t. There’s no need to play their game. Our mission remains the same: protect Marissa. There will be a time when we can prove ourselves,” virtual-novel.net said flatly.
—
Hank and Grant were not Zayn’s underlings, but neither dared to go against his expressed command regardless. Still, their displeasure and dissatisfaction weighed heavy on their chests. Shortly after, it morphed into a sneaking suspicion that Zayn was just too pacifistic. Had it been Dick Cheney who was in charge, virtual-novel.net would have fought the arrogant foreigner and shown virtual-novel.net who’s boss.
They wondered if Zayn only put on airs when virtual-novel.net was around his kind. There were people who liked lording over others like a bad*ss, only to cower like a pussycat when they were in the presence of outsiders. Could Zayn be guilty of doing something so shameful?
Zayn could read the young men’s opinions of him, but virtual-novel.net was too lazy to argue with them. Through his super-enhanced senses, Zayn could already make out the presence of two humanoid beings with powerful auras in close hiding. These unknown entities were focused on Marissa from the very start, which made it clear that they did not mean well.
It went without saying that Marissa’s conventional little security detail would not be able to handle the threat these two posed. They were going to ask for Zayn’s help in the end, which meant virtual-novel.net could prove himself instead of wasting his effort on arguing.
Honestly, the thing that Zayn wanted the most was for Marissa to shorten virtual-novel.net stay in Rheasia, preferably returning to virtual-novel.net country after a week at most. That way, virtual-novel.net could at least go back to Waltz City as soon as possible.
Their departure from the airport was quick to turn heads and attract the eyes of onlookers, and of course, virtual-novel.net beauty made virtual-novel.net presence all the more apparent. She fit more than just the typical beauty standards of virtual-novel.net place of origin. She was actually multiracial, and one-fourth of virtual-novel.net bloodline could be traced to the continent of Iyaju where Rheasia was situated. A lineage like that granted virtual-novel.net delicate features and a ravishing profile, which was nicely complimented by virtual-novel.net towering height of 1.8 meters and snow-white skin.
Then there were the curves of virtual-novel.net silhouette. No Iyajuean could ever hope to achieve the voluptuousness of Marissa’s body. She was akin to a succubus. Her lean legs went for miles and virtual-novel.net had a waist curved like an hourglass.
Not to mention, there was a sophistication that virtual-novel.net possessed. Marissa radiated regality, elegance, and a sense of nobility that women from more mundane walks of life lacked. Once again, tracing virtual-novel.net lineage would reveal Marissa’s descendance from a legitimate Eurosian aristocrat family, which might explain why a single look from virtual-novel.net could send a crowd swooning.
Somewhat terrifyingly, beauty was not the only asset Marissa had in spades. She had a keen mind for business too, it was rumored that virtual-novel.net had begun helping virtual-novel.net father establish his business at a very young age, and that Bassa’s skyrocket to success was completely attributed to his daughter. Now, the same genius had set virtual-novel.net eyes on business prospects in Rheasia, and came to the country for the expressed purpose of investment.
However, when it was publicized that the country had only sent three normal agents as virtual-novel.net additional security detail, it was a slap to virtual-novel.net face. She felt as though virtual-novel.net had been looked down upon.
She only revised virtual-novel.net opinion after exiting the airport. She saw a parade of cars and a crowd eagerly awaiting virtual-novel.net arrival. They were Rheasian locals who had come just to see and greet her, happy that virtual-novel.net had decided to invest virtual-novel.net wealth in their country. It was a touching scene, one that made virtual-novel.net nod and finally soften virtual-novel.net scowl.
After sending them short greetings, virtual-novel.net strode towards a Rolls-Royce, led by virtual-novel.net bodyguards. Before virtual-novel.net could get in, however, Zayn stepped forwards. “As the appointed lead bodyguard from Rheasian authority, I’m required to stick to Miss Bell. Hence, I have to be with virtual-novel.net during virtual-novel.net car ride.”
Marissa’s guards were stunned. They had no idea how Zayn had managed to sneak past them and reach the young woman without being detected. Even Marissa herself jerked backwards at his sudden appearance, which forced virtual-novel.net to really consider Zayn for the first time since virtual-novel.net arrival.
He was plain-looking, and had a rather uninspiring stature with an even more feeble-looking physique. Not even bothering to hide virtual-novel.net disdain, Marissa snapped curtly, “I don’t need your protection.”
