Chapter 356 - A Short Encounter With FaMo
~ University of Imperial Knight's Faculty Room ~
Liam was in deep thoughts when one of his colleagues approached him. His mind seemed like wandering somewhere as he wore a very serious expression. This was the first time he looked very troubled.
Most of the time, Liam was in a good mood with his bright and vibrant aura that could lighten the atmosphere inside the Faculty Room. His colleagues were not used to seeing him like this so one of them decided to ask him personally.
"Hey, Liam, do you have any problem? Are your students giving you a lot of stress lately? Or maybe your admirers?" Liam's colleague asked worriedly, teasing him at the same time.
Liam snapped himself back to reality when he heard the other professor's voice. He gazed up, giving him a faint smile.
"Prof. Caleb, pardon… what did you say again?" Since Liam's mind was occupied by something a while ago he didn't hear his words clearly.
His colleague whom he called Prof. Caleb let out a husky laugh before repeating his question and tapping Liam's shoulder. "I'm asking you if you have any concerns, especially regarding your students. Are they giving you a hard time? How about your admirers?"
Liam chuckled when he heard that. "No, I'm just fine. My students are all well-behaved. They are-"
Liam had not yet finished his words when he suddenly paused mid-sentence. He noticed something. Prof. Caleb was waiting for him to complete his sentence when he saw Liam's expression changed once again.
Without saying another word, Liam stood up from his seat and dashed out of the office in a hurry. Prof Caleb and his other colleagues just watched Liam with puzzlement.
'Eh, What happened to Professor Liam? Is there an emergency? He's acting strangely today.' They wondered at that thought.
Meanwhile, Liam who rushed out of the faculty room just found himself walking to a certain place near the football field and the mini-forest. He roamed his eyes around his surroundings as if he was looking for something.
When he found it, he continued walking in hurried footsteps. Upon reaching the spot, he saw a man looking at the two students who were lying unconscious on the ground. As if the man felt his presence as well, he turned around only to meet Liam's questioning gaze.
The two of them just stared at each other for only God knows how long. After that, Liam finally found his voice to speak up.
"Who are you? What are you doing to our students? You are not from here, aren't you? Not a student nor a faculty member." Liam started to confront the mysterious man he didn't know.
That mysterious man was FaMo and the two students Liam was referring to were John and Lester. They both passed out after FaMo tortured them mentally and emotionally. He made sure to scare the hell out of them.
FaMo sized him up from top to bottom before responding to his query. He made sure to look friendly and approachable by smiling at Liam.
"I am a visitor here. I just found these two students sleeping on the grass. It looks like they are very tired. You can see their bodies are sweating a lot. I was about to wake them up when you suddenly appeared out of nowhere, thus interrupting me," FaMo said as an alibi, trying his best to sound polite and respectful toward Liam.
Liam was silent for a moment. FaMo didn't know what was running on his mind right now. His expression was now neutral unlike before when he looked very concerned about the two students lying on the ground.
"Oh, by the way, since you are here, I think you I have to go now. I will leave these two students in your care. I bet you are a professor here," FaMo was ending his conversation with Liam quickly. He had to leave now.
"It looks like they are having sweet dreams," FaMo added while looking at John and Lester meaningfully. There was a glint of humor in his eyes as he watched them.
Without waiting for Liam to respond, FaMo turned to leave. But Liam immediately stopped him.
"Wait…"
FaMo halted on his step and faced Liam once more. He didn't know if he just imagined it or not but he sensed something from Liam that gave him a chill. However, it disappeared in an instant when Liam smiled at him.
"May I know your name… sir?" Liam asked FaMo curiously.
FaMo was taken aback for a moment. He didn't expect Liam to ask his name.
"I'm Zu Wan," FaMo gave him the demon god's name.
Liam's eyes widened upon hearing that name. He felt like he had heard that name before. Complex emotions flashed on Liam's handsome face but he was able to conceal it again in a brief moment.
"Nice meeting you, Mr. Zu Wan. I am Liam," he also introduced himself.
FaMo just nodded at him with a smile before he continued walking out, thus leaving Liam with Lester and John.
"Zu Wan…" Liam mumbled, watching FaMo until he vanished from his sight.
*********
FaMo went to meet Zhen-Zhen right away. He wanted to give her a piece of good news. She was still with Sophia, talking in the mini-forest. When he arrived, Zhen-Zhen excused herself from Sophia as she talked privately with FaMo.
"Zhen-Zhen, I finished what you asked me for. Here are John and Lester's phones. You can destroy this. They will never know. I also learned that John saved a copy of that video on his laptop at home. I'm going to destroy it now. I found his address. I can teleport there right now." FaMo said to her cheerfully.
FaMo was feeling good after he was able to punish those two men who schemed against Sophia.
Zhen-Zhen accepted the phone and said, "Thank you so much, FaMo, for helping us. You didn't have to bring these phones here. You should have just destroyed them."
faMo smiled at Zhen-Zhen sheepishly and said, "I just thought you might also check their phones to spy on them. Maybe we can also find some evidence here that they connived with each other to harm Sophia."
Zhen-Zhen's eyes lit up upon hearing that. She immediately patted FaMo's head just like what she was always doing when FaMo was in his cat form. "FaMo, you are smart. I think this is the result of you watching detective and spy movies."
Zhen-Zhen couldn't help but giggle while praising FaMo.
"Anything for my Master… I mean my friends," FaMo said while scratching his face. He was happy that he made Zhen-Zhen proud of him.
"What happened to John and Lester? What did you do to them?" Zhen-Zhen asked FaMo curiously.
"Hmm, I just gave them a sweet dream. Don't worry, I didn't touch even their nail or hair. They are just totally fine," FaMo reassured Zhen-Zhen.
'Oh except for dragging them so hard.' FaMo thought to himself.
"Alright, FaMo. I'm gonna go back to Sophia now. You should destroy the remaining video first. Let's meet at the house later." Zhen-Zhen hugged FaMo before saying goodbye.
Zhen-Zhen was rushing back to Sophia when she suddenly bumped into someone.
"Oh sorry," Zhen-Zhen apologized.
She gazed up only to see two beautiful emerald eyes looking at her with concern.
"Are you okay?"
"Liam…"
