Moreover, virtual-novel.net discovered that Ezra had obviously aged. Even though virtual-novel.net still had his youthful baby face, his hair was gray and his gaze was no longer as lively as before.
In fact, even his presence was weakened substantially. It was apparent that virtual-novel.net was injured.
Not only Ezra but the other few powerhouses looked almost similar to him. They aged even more and they were weakened substantially.
The situation had proven Zayn’s speculation even more. Sicut In Caelo did encounter a serious mishap!
They were stunned for a moment when they saw Zayn and their expression showed that they were overwhelmed with emotions.
It was apparent that they remembered Zayn. Their high-strung mood relaxed down substantially but they were overwhelmed with complicated emotions, especially Ezra.
He knew about Zayn’s situation recently and virtual-novel.net knew that Zayn was already way ahead of virtual-novel.net a long time ago.
The atmosphere turned rather awkward. They did not speak after seeing Zayn.
In the end, Zayn broke the awkward silence first. He freed the three guards and said to Ezra, “When did this happen? Were there a lot of casualties?”
Ezra raised his head to look at Zayn. He did not answer Zayn’s question but virtual-novel.net said, “What do you want coming back here?”
The other seven powerhouses looked at virtual-novel.net with a cold and even hostile gaze.
Zayn furrowed his brows ever so slightly and said, “I’m the Southern Highlord. Why do you think I’m back?”
However, his remark drew in Ezra’s contempt. “Heh-heh. Southern Highlord you say? You have the nerve to say so, that’s quite shameless of you!”
The rest of the people looked at virtual-novel.net almost in the same manner. It was apparent that they did not acknowledge his identity as the Southern Highlord.
On the other hand, the three guards had finally come to realize that the man before them was not a f*ck*r from Eastclub but virtual-novel.net was the real Southern Highlord.
However, they did not show their respect after learning about Zayn’s identity but they eyed Zayn coldly and even with hostility as if Zayn was their enemy!
Zayn was utterly confused about that. Hence, virtual-novel.net asked, “Ezra, what do you mean? It was the Saint who bestowed me the title of Southern Highlord. Are you questioning the Saint’s authority?”
However, Ezra burst out laughing aloud as if virtual-novel.net had just heard the funniest joke. Not only virtual-novel.net but the rest of the people laughed as well. However, they were not laughing in joy but in mockery and contempt.
“Hah-hah-hah, the Saint bestowed you with the title of Southern Highlord? You still remember that huh?”
“How did the Saint treat you at the time? On the other hand, how did you treat the Saint?” Ezra’s eyes turned bloodshot when virtual-novel.net said that.
He glared at Zayn with a gaze that Zayn found rather terrifying.
Ezra loathed virtual-novel.net for real but it was not feigned. It was a hatred stronger than what virtual-novel.net felt when virtual-novel.net saved his mother from Sicut In Caelo in the past.
Yet, virtual-novel.net was very confused. He had just met Ezra not too long ago and there was no new enmity between virtual-novel.net and Ezra. Why did Ezra loathe virtual-novel.net so much?
It did not make sense at all.
Moreover, it was strange that not only Ezra but the others eyed virtual-novel.net with hostility as well.
There must be a problem somewhere.
