Chapter 210 - A Sudden Change
Andrew and Zhen-Zhen just stood there silently, both having complicated feelings as they watched Tristan being hugged by Hannah while confessing her feelings to him.
They heard everything Hannah had said to Tristan. Andrew's heart sank with those words. He felt like every ounce of his energy was drained.
Andrew looked at Hannah with his heart dead. Nothing hurt more than hearing your beloved woman confess her feelings to another man. What made it worse was…that person was his brother.
'Now, I can understand Tristan's feelings. Did he feel this way whenever he would see me with Hannah?' Andrew smiled bitterly at that thought.
Andrew clenched his fists. He felt like he was just used by Hannah. He was mad and hurt at the same time. He felt betrayed by the woman he loved.
'I knew it. I would never beat Tristan. I will always be the second-best next to him… only a second option. I'm just a bastard son. He is the real prince and I am the fake prince.' Andrew thought to himself, gritting his teeth.
There was a gleam of despair in his eyes. He looked like he was about to go mad.
When he was about to explode and charge in Tristan's and Hannah's direction, suddenly he felt a warm hand grabbing his fist.
He turned to his side only to see Zhen-Zhen looking at him with her blank expression. He could no longer see any emotions from her eyes, unlike before.
He stared at her with confusion. Zhen-Zhen squeezed his arm as if she was trying to comfort him through that action.
Then Andrew realized that he was not the only one who was hurting right now. Lillie must be in pain as well.
He glanced one last time at Tristan and Hannah with his bloodshot eyes before shifting his gaze back to Zhen-Zhen.
Without waiting for Tristan's response, Andrew immediately grabbed Zhen-Zhen's hand and gently pulled her away from that place.
He didn't want her to further witness the next thing that would happen. He was afraid that both of them would be hurt more if they would stay there.
He was afraid that Tristan would do something he was not supposed to do and Lillie would see it with her own eyes.
She was already sad and hurt a while ago after talking to Mark and Daniel. Andrew was not sure if Lillie could still handle to see this.
With that thought in mind, Andrew brought Zhen-Zhen with him, as they left Tristan and Hannah. The two of them continued walking with heavy hearts.
They were quiet. No one was talking between them. They didn't even know where they were going. They just stopped when Andrew recognized the place. They were currently in the target shooting area.
He needed to vent out right now so he decided to do something.
"Lillie, wanna do practice shooting with me?" Andrew asked her, his eyes were now gentle as he looked at her.
Zhen-Zhen didn't speak but just nodded her head.
"Alright, wait for me here. I will just ask the staff to let us use this and borrow some items that we need."
Zhen-Zhen merely bobbed her head. Then Andrew left her for a moment.
When she was already alone, Zhen-Zhen peered at her surroundings with her blank expression. By just looking at her face, no one could tell what was going on in her mind right now.
And one of the noticeable changes in her. Her eyes were no longer blue. It turned to pure black. It was the same eye color as her father, the demon god.
Zhen-Zhen glanced at those targets in front of her. It did not take long when one of the targets was set on fire. It was now burning before Zhen-Zhen's eyes.
Then a faint curve stretched out from the corner of her lips. That smile was different from her usual self. It was a kind of smile that was enough to send shivers through someone's spine.
Unknown to Zhen-Zhen, she was not alone in that place. Someone had witnessed how she burned the target in that area.
"She had the power to control fire. She burned that object in an instant. She did it."
**********
Meanwhile, FaMo who was in the activity area suddenly felt Zhen-Zhen's power. He immediately stood up to search for her.
'Where is she? Is something wrong? Why is she emitting this strong aura?' FaMo couldn't help but ponder to himself.
He was in a hurry to find her. To make it fast, he decided to teleport instantly to her current location.
It did not take long when FaMo appeared in front of Zhen-Zhen in his fireball form. Afraid that someone might see them, FaMo transformed into his cat form once again.
"Zhen-Zhen???" FaMo called her out. He was surprised when he saw her eyes. They're pure black.
But something was not right here. If FaMo could remember well, Zhen-Zhen's eyes would only turn black when she was losing her strength or having used up all her power.
However, that was not the case this time because he could feel the overflowing power and unknown aura surrounding her right now.
'What happened to her?' FaMo wondered to himself.
"Zhen-Zhen, is everything alright?" FaMo asked her with his concerned voice.
Instead of answering FaMo, Zhen-Zhen told him something "Master…"
FaMo frowned upon hearing that. 'Master? What did she mean by that?'
The confusion was written all over his face. "Zhen-Zhen, what do you mean?"
Zhen-Zhen looked down and glared at FaMo. "I. Said. Call. Me. Master."
FaMo was dumbfounded. Zhen-Zhen's voice was stern and very cold. This was not the sweet and kind-hearted Zhen-Zhen he knew. She looked like a different person to him.
"Black Fire Dragon, my protector… what's wrong with you? Can you turn back yourself in your original appearance? Are you trying to act cute with that kind of look?" FaMo could hear the displeasure in her voice.
FaMo: "..."
'Eh??? Why is she getting mad and annoyed? Did she forget that she's the one who requested me to transform myself into this form? Why do I feel like Zhen-Zhen suddenly becomes frightening?'
