Chapter 227 - A Mysterious Man Appeared
'Yeah. That fool! Maybe he can help me convince Zhen-Zhen. I need to bring Tristan here to stop her.'
FaMo was thinking that Tristan could change Zhen-Zhen's mind. She cared too much about Tristan. She would listen to him. FaMo watched Zhen-Zhen who was engrossed with opening the portal.
Fortunately, Zhen-Zhen was not yet powerful enough to open the big portal. She couldn't leave just yet because the portal was still small. It was the same size as a basketball ball.
FaMo still had time to get Tristan and brought him to this mountain. But there's one more problem. In what way he would tell Tristan about this without revealing his identity as FaMo and most importantly not giving him a shock?
If he would talk to him in his cat form, FaMo would be given away his real nature. Tristan would know that he was a supernatural creature living in their world. He could no longer spy on him.
FaMo was thinking that it was better if Tristan would just think of him as an ordinary cat. Tristan would not become cautious in his presence. He could also watch Tristan secretly and report everything to Zhen-Zhen if ever her husband would do something wrong behind her back.
He couldn't talk to him using his dragon form either because instead of helping him, Tristan might run away from him because of fear. He gave Tristan numerous nightmares using his dragon form. He would be scared to death once he saw FaMo in his dragon form in real life, not in a dream.
Suddenly, a light bulb went on in his head, and he knew what to do next. FaMo didn't waste more time as he tried to locate Tristan's current location.
Fortunately, FaMo had somehow formed his connection with Tristan after giving him several nightmares. Because of that, he could also determine and detect Tristan's current location.
But teleporting required a lot of magical powers, and doing it several times in a day was quite exhausting. FaMo had no choice. He had to do it or else Zhen-Zhen's reckless act would put her in danger.
After a few seconds, FaMo finally found Tristan. He glanced one last time in Zhen-Zhen's direction before teleporting to Tristan.
"Zhen-Zhen, wait for me. I'm gonna bring you back to your usual self… to my sweet and loving Zhen-Zhen."

Meanwhile, Tristan continued searching for Zhen-Zhen. He even tried to look for her in her school. But the guard said they didn't see her.
Since today was Sunday, only a few students came to the campus. They even checked the CCTV footage of the entrance gate. Zhen-Zhen didn't come to the school.
Tristan had no idea where to find her. The only places Zhen-Zhen had visited so far were the Davis Family Mansion, Meyer's House, her School, Restaurants where Tristan brought her, Mall, and Supermarket.
Now he would try to search for her in the Mall. He couldn't even call her. Tristan had no idea that Zhen-Zhen had already destroyed her phone. She burned it in front of FaMo when they were in the target shooting area last night.
Tristan was driving on the busy streets of Empire City when a man suddenly appeared in front of his car. He almost hit that man with his car if Tristan was not able to step on the brake immediately.
Tristan cursed inwardly. He was already restless and problematic because of his missing wife then this man just suddenly popped up from out-of-nowhere as if he was trying to get himself killed by appearing in the middle of the road.
Tristan was about to warn him to be careful next time when suddenly the man went to his front passenger's side and opened the door of his car. He entered and sat down without Tristan's permission.
Tristan's eyes widened in disbelief. 'Eh, what is he trying to do here? Is he insane? Wait. I locked the door?! How come he was able to open it?'
"Hey, who are you? Why did you enter my car? Are you trying to hitch a ride? Argh, I'm busy. Here, get out and find a taxi as your ride." Tristan said to the man while giving him cash.
But the man didn't accept the money. "Are you looking for your wife? I know where she is. Come with me, I will bring you to her."
Tristan frowned when he heard that voice. It somehow sounded familiar to him as if he already heard it before but he just forgot where and when.
'Wait? Did he just mention my wife? How did he know I am searching for my wife?' Tristan pondered at that thought.
He averted his gaze to the man sitting in his passenger seat, eyeing him from top to bottom. That's the time he noticed that this man was weird and strange. The clothes he was wearing were like the clothes of a warrior from the medieval era.
Aside from that, Tristan noticed that the man possessed a dignified aura matched with his captivating and strikingly handsome face.
He might be the most gorgeous man he had ever seen in his entire life, not including the moment when Tristan was looking at his reflection in the mirror. That's what he thought at that certain moment while looking at the man beside him. (Inserting Author's thought: Tristan is not only naughty but he is also SHAMELESS!)
The man spoke up once again, snapping Tristan out of his wandering thoughts.
"Your wife is in Mt. Calypso now. She is planning to leave this world and go back to the world where she came from. Stop her. Make her stay or else her life will be in danger. Once she comes back to that world you will never see her again."
'She's leaving this world... Coming back to her world... I will never see her again?' Tristan felt like he was hit by a bolt of lightning when he heard those words. Those words registered to Tristan's mind, making his heart clench inside his chest.
'No! This can't be… No way. Zhen-Zhen, don't leave. Please don't leave me!'
Tristan immediately grabbed the man on his collar and said, "Bring me to her, now. I can't let her leave. No. I can't let her go just like that."
The man smirked at Tristan, grabbing his shoulders tightly. In just a split of a second, the two of them vanished inside his car.
