NOVEL NEXT Chapter 89: The anomaly
Xane just waved his hand at Marcin, acting embarrassed. "Oh, sorry, I may have unknowingly used just-learned hex arts."
As he said that, he instantly saw Marcin relaxing.
Marcin seemed to buy that, as he nodded to him. "Yeah, I thought so. As my new customer, let me give you a fair warning. Try to gain full control before class, or else it might land you in trouble."
Zayn also added in his head. [Yeah, instructor Luna did forbid the use of hex art during her class in the novel. It should be the same this time.]
Xane just nodded his head. Now that everything was clear, he remembered the big reveal and instantly became serious.
One of the reasons he remembered his past was that his current situation was very similar to the one he had faced in his past life.
He had a feeling that the mention of the night creep incident acted as the switch that pulled him into the memory-based illusion.
He suddenly asked Marcin, "Can you also add the details of the girl that I attacked?"
Marcin asked with intrigue, "Oh, are you going to confront her?"
Xane just smiled at him and said, "Is there a way you can share those details with me, or do I have to wait here?"
Oh, don't worry, there's a function to transfer information to each other through our IDs. By the way, each person's details will cost you 1 coin."
Xane just picked up his ID and transferred half the remaining points, then got up. "Ok, see you tomorrow."
Marcin just smiled at him. "You sure are in a hurry."
Xane did not bother with that guy and calmly walked out of his room.
Soon, he walked out of the building under the night sky with a smile plastered on his face.
In the silence of the night, he calmly started walking toward the edge, heading to his room.
The entire way, Zayn did not utter a word.
After sharing senses for so long, he knew something was wrong.
Even he was shaking with anger about this false rumor. He wanted to curse in anger, but it was just that this silence of Xane really bothered him.
'Did this whole night creep thing really bother Xane that much?' As this thought emerged in Zayn's mind, he shook his head.
After all, he did not forget Xane's real identity. Who were the Black Crowns? Those were the people who would brutally murder hundreds without blinking an eye.
Would such a false allegation really bother the King of Black Crown?
Was it something related to his past?
But just then, Zayn noticed another abnormality. If Xane was really angry, then what was with the heartbeat?
It was another thing he had discovered during this whole time. That switch of body control was not only true for external control, but it was the same for internal organs.
All those organs behaved in line with the emotions of the one in control of the body. He had noticed it a couple of times before that stuff that made him panic and increase his heartbeat had no effect when he felt the same thing while inside his mind.
So even though he was extremely angry, stuff like his heartbeat would still react with Xane's emotions. Or that was what was supposed to happen, but Zayn could feel that his heartbeat was the same.
There was no change in his heartbeat.
It was such a contract between Xane's inner calmness and plaster smile that even Zayn was not sure whether Xane was angry or happy.
'Or was this indifference? No, Xane might have been indifferent earlier, but now that stuff was related to his past, it might not be the same.'
Zayn sighed as he felt like he was surrounded by mysterious dark fog from all sides.
Not only were Viyron's past actions full of mysteries, but even his partner was not someone he could see through.
This kind of made him a bit uncomfortable, as he was used to knowing in and out of the people he interacted with, but this also made him a bit excited.
It was just as he thought, being the leader of such a group, Xane was much different from his normal family members.
As he noticed the new building, Zayn snapped out of his thoughts and carefully asked Xane, [Hey, are you okay?]
The moment Zayn said that, Xane's small smile switched to a full-on, wide grin. <Oh, don't worry, I am a bit excited.>
Flabbergasted, Zayn could not help but utter, [What kind of person would be excited when faced with false accusations…]
Zayn became quieter and quieter. He suddenly said in disgust, [Hey, don't tell me you are into those kinds of disgusting—]
Xane just tapped his ID on the door and cut off Zayn. <Do I look to you like a bastard who thinks with his balls?>
Zayn stopped halfway. He knew with Xane's power, he wouldn't have to drop so low.
Even a shut-in like him knew his old world revolved around money and power. An existence that was on top wouldn't lack any of that. So he asked, [If that's not the case, then why?]
Xane just pushed open the door and picked up his bag from the side.
After lying there outside for so long, a layer of dust had already gathered on it.
It was a good thing that no one else bothered with his bag. Well, others didn't know the identity of their new neighbor, so he understood that.
After all, everyone feared offending the unknown.
Not thinking much about them, he slapped his bag clean and entered his room, then closed the door.
The moment he did, he was unable to control himself anymore. He poured all his emotions into his fist and punched the just-closed door with his full strength.
Bam!
A loud thud vibrated inside the room.
At the same time, Zayn screamed inside his mind. "Fukkk you, psycho!"
Not caring about any of that, Xane just took a deep breath and walked back to his bed.
He could feel the stinging pain coming from his knuckle; it was just that the current frail him was unable to generate much force.
His bones survived, but his now scraped knuckles didn't fare as well.
He could even see blood marks on the door, but not caring about any of that, he just calmly picked out his ID and waited for Marcin's information.
It was one thing for someone to want to kill him, but using that same tactic?
Xane cracked his neck as he was really fired up now.
This shit had really become personal now.
