Chapter 740 - Your Daughter's Name...
After receiving Agent Phoenix's phone call, Tristan immediately left the hospital, instructing Phoenix to meet him in the nearest restaurant.
For some unknown reason, his heart was beating so fast from too much nervousness and excitement. He wondered if FaMo and the Zu Wan he met in the hospital before were the same person.
Tristan was aware that Zhen-Zhen was feeling down lately since until now they couldn't find FaMo. Miho told them that she sensed FaMo's power, reassuring them that FaMo was alive.
However, she couldn't trace it. His magical force was too weak, disappearing from time to time.
If he was alive, they couldn't understand why he suddenly disappeared, leaving the Davis Mansion without saying a word to Zhen-Zhen.
Tristan, Zhen-Zhen, and Miho assumed that something was wrong with FaMo and he left because he didn't want Zhen-Zhen to know his real condition.
They were still clueless that the one who was awakened after breaking the crystal was none other than the demon god, Zu Wan.
Fortunately, Tristan asked Agent Phoenix to investigate and do some background checks on the patient who looked like FaMo. They found out that his name was Zu Wan.
He visited Titania's address hoping to meet him but the moment he arrived Zu Wan, Ella, and Titania were no longer in the house.
Agent Phoenix continued his mission of searching for FaMo's look alike and he finally stumbled with Zu Wan in another hospital.
Tristan arrived at the restaurant first. He booked a VIP booth so that they could talk privately. He already informed Agent Phoenix of the booth number.
Tristan ordered different foods that were favorites of FaMo. He kept looking at his phone to check for Phoenix's message. He was excited to meet Zu Wan.
After ten minutes, the door of the booth slid open. Agent Phoenix guided Zu Wan inside.
"Boss, we are here," Agent Phoenix politely greeted Tristan.
Tristan just nodded at him, acknowledging his presence then his eyes moved to the man standing next to Phoenix.
Tristan was at a loss for words. The man before him looked like FaMo. At that certain moment, he realized how much he missed FaMo.
'Please, I hope this is you, father-in-law,' Tristan mumbled to himself.
Meanwhile, Zu Wan was assessing Tristan's face. He couldn't be wrong. Tristan was the man he saw in his dream.
Sensing the awkward atmosphere engulfing the room, Agent Phoenix spoke up to break the silence.
"Boss, I will just go outside so that you and Mr. Zu Wan can talk privately. Just call me if you need something."
After saying that, Agent Phoenix talked to Zu Wan, telling him to sit down. It seemed that Tristan was speechless so he forgot to invite Zu Wan to join him.
When Agent Phoenix left, that was the time Zu Wan sat down on the chair opposite Tristan.
Tristan was observing him silently. He felt disappointed seeing Zu Wan's lack of interest in the food. If he were FaMo, then he should have been drooling already and craving food.
Tristan became more tense when he met FaMo's intense gaze as if his eyes were scanning Tristan for a thorough inspection. He had a serious expression on his face.
Tristan gulped hard and his body started sweating coldly.
'Oh God, why does he look frightening to me? His aura is very different from FaMo that I know. If my father-in-law was scary, this man before me is scarier than him.'
"I heard that you were looking for me? What is your reason for doing that? Do I know you?" Zu Wan's stern cold voice was heard.
Hearing his voice sent shivers down his spine. He felt like having a goosebump right now.
'Who is this man? He is more intimidating than my grandfather!' Tristan was about to freak out.
"Y-Yes… I-I am looking for you." Tristan stuttered a little. Then he cleared his throat, trying to maintain his composure.
"I just want to confirm something because you look like my father-in-law."
Zu Wan furrowed his eyebrows when he heard that. He noticed it. Tristan was always calling him father-in-law.
'Do I really look like his father-in-law? So mistook me as his wife's father,' Zu Wan wondered.
He already knew the meaning of father-in-law since he asked Ella about it. Even a five-year-old child already knew the meaning of the word. She was thinking like an adult.
"Do you have a picture of him? Where is your father-in-law?" Zu Wan asked him again, not breaking their eye contact. He was now curious about Tristan's family, most especially his wife.
Tristan bobbed his head like an obedient child. He picked up his phone and searched for FaMo's photo when he was in his human form.
He handed his phone over to Zu Wan, showing him FaMo's picture.
"Here is the picture of my father-in-law. He is missing, that's why I am looking for him. I want to confirm if he is you or not since you have the same face and appearance," Tristan explained to Zu Wan.
Zu Wan focused his attention on Tristan's phone. The frown on his forehead deepened after seeing his own photo. In the picture, he was sitting on the couch together with Zhen-Zhen and Tristan.
FaMo reflexively touched the screen as if he was caressing Zhen-Zhen's face. He couldn't explain what he was feeling right now. But his heart was clenching inside his chest. He suddenly missed his daughter, Zhen-Zhen.
Just like the young Zhen-Zhen in his memory, the woman in the photo also had beautiful blue eyes. There was a hint of gentleness in his eyes when he was observing Zhen-Zhen's photo.
Tristan held his breath as he saw Zu Wan's gentle expression as he looked at his wife, Zhen-Zhen.
"Do you know my wife, Mr. Zu Wan? Honestly, I find it very strange because aside from the same face, you and my father-in-law shared the same name as well. His name was also Zu Wan, but we are calling him FaMo as well."
Zu Wan raised his head, meeting Tristan's gaze.
"I heard that your wife's name is Lillie Davis. But I don't know her personally. I am not your father-in-law… My daughter is still young and her name is Zhen-Zhen."
Tristan: "..."
Tristan's eyes widened in surprise after hearing the name Zhen-Zhen coming from Zu Wan's mouth.
"Y-Your daughter's name is Zhen-Zhen??? Zhen-Zhen… is the real name of my wife."
