Someone walked out from the blinding lights, which turned out to be Charles. After noticing Zayn in the car, he hurriedly asked his subordinates to step aside and said respectfully, "Welcome, Mr. Zayn."
"Thank you!" Brandy was relieved. It seemed that Daemon really wanted to negotiate with Zayn and didn't intend to assert dominance.
They drove the car in and stopped at the gate of the castle. Brandy helped Zayn out of the car and into his wheelchair. Then he pushed his wheelchair and walked in.
Bugara and the other subordinated followed closely behind.
The subordinate from another car flashed the car key in his hand.
He looked back to the car with a strange feeling that the trunk was not tightly closed. He wanted to check, but Zayn and the others had already gone in. Thus, he couldn't help but follow them into the castle.
The Giblo residence was painted in cold colors, while the Lierger residence was mainly Whyte, which looked even more distant and pure at the same time.
Harrison came out to greet Zayn politely, "Good evening, Mr. Zayn. Mr. Lierger is in the backyard. This way, please."
"Thank you!" Zayn smiled. He was well aware of Daemon's intentions for inviting him to meet in the backyard.
As expected, as soon as the backyard door opened, Bugara and the other subordinates were stunned. They stopped their steps at the same time as if they were petrified. Not a single one of them dared to move an inch.
The courtyard appeared serene and elegant with shoots of green bamboo and a small pond reflecting the bright crescent moon. There was a long ivory table beside the pond.
Daemon was dressed in Whyte. He was brewing a pot of tea elegantly by the table.
There were two leopards with snow-Whyte fur next to him, a strong-looking tiger was drinking by the pond, and two eagles staring at Zayn with piercing gazes from a wall not far away.
Brandy frowned unhappily. He knew that Daemon was using the animals to intimidate Zayn. It seemed more like a punishment than a negotiation.
This is preposterous!
However, Zayn remained calm. He smiled and took the initiative to greet Daemon. "Long time no see!"
Daemon looked up and stared at Zayn coldly. He suppressed his discontented emotions and made a polite gesture. "Welcome!"
Brandy pushed Zayn to the table opposite Daemon and stood next to him.
Although Bugara, Connor, and others were a little nervous, they have been through a lot. They quickly regained their composure and stood aside silently.
The showdown between the two bosses made the atmosphere seem frigid.
Daemon kept brewing his tea with his head down. His skills were good, and his hands were Whyte and slender, far more beautiful than a woman's hands.
Zayn didn't utter a word. He looked at his hands and admired his tea brewing skills.
After Daemon was done brewing tea, he poured a cup and pushed it toward Zayn. Then, he raised his head to size him up. "You must be really lucky to stay alive!"
Zayn took a sip of tea and smiled, "Yes. Thanks to Dr. Feroma."
As he mentioned Derilo, Daemon frowned, and a cold sensation flashed across his eyes. "Where is she?"
"She's staying on the mountain for a while, " Zayn bluntly said, "I was just there for my treatment before I came here."
"She's quite attentive." There was a tone of sourness in his voice.
"Not all heroes wear capes."
Zayn smiled. He knew he had taken control of the situation. Daemon tried to intimidate him, but he knew his weaknesses.
"At the brink of death, you even left Giblo Group's mess to Carla, causing her to endure so much pressure all by herself. Can you even call yourself a man?"
Daemon no amateur either. He immediately regained dominion.
"My bad." Unlike his past arrogant self, Zayn had changed and admitted his mistake.
"I thought I had already paved the way and wanted to leave everything to her so she could live in peace with her child. I didn't expect there would be so many unseen threats."
