Chapter 503 - Who Is The Mastermind?

"I can control fire and fly!" Zhen-Zhen declared to them.

Sophia: "..."

Matthew: "..."

Tristan was not able to hold his laughter after seeing the baffled expression of Matthew and Sophia. He could relate to them because he experienced it firsthand.

Zhen-Zhen even showed them as she released a fireball from her hands. Sophia's eyes and Matthew's eyes bulged out of their sockets when they saw that.

"Oh my gosh! I am not dreaming or imagining things, right?" Sophia gasped in surprise.

Matthew was rendered speechless. He didn't know what to say. Indeed! Zhen-Zhen could produce fire out of her hands!

'What the hell is this? I feel like I am in a fantasy world…' Matthew thought to himself.

"Zhen-Zhen, are you a fairy? Are you a superhero just like those characters in the fantasy movies?" Sophia asked Zhen-Zhen excitedly after she recovered from the shock. There was fascination in her eyes.

Tristan burst out laughing again because of Sophia's reaction. Matthew, on the other hand, was still in a trance. He couldn't believe that this was happening in real life.

Who would have thought that this beautiful fragile-looking woman had a superpower?

"Hmm, okay guys. Just think of her as a fire fairy or a fire goddess who can control fire," Tristan answered Sophia. 

He didn't want to scare Matthew and Sophia by telling them that Zhen-Zhen was a demon god's daughter. It would be better that they would just think of her as a fairy.

"Wow, I don't know that fairies exist in this modern world!" Sophia said in disbelief.

Zhen-Zhen smiled at Sophia. "The truth is… I am not from this world. I came from another world, that's why I have no identity here."

"And everything about this world was new to me the first time I arrived here. That was the day I met Tristan on Mt. Calypso. Tristan was the one who taught me everything," Zhen-Zhen added, informing Matthew and Sophia.

Now Matthew knew the reason why Zhen-Zhen was acting a little bit weird the first time he met her. She almost kissed him after introducing herself.

'Wait! Don't tell me Tristan kissed her when they introduced themselves to each other, that's why she mimicked his action? Damn! He took advantage of Zhen-Zhen?' Matthew squinted his eyes at Tristan when he realized that.

Tristan gave him a questioning gaze when he met Matthew's glaring eyes. 'Eh, why is he looking at me like he is about to eat me?'

"Zu Wan… he is her father!" Tristan answered Sophia.

Zhen-Zhen bit her lower lip. Tristan was still thinking that FaMo was her father. He had no idea that FaMo was just using the demon god's human form.

Zhen-Zhen didn't correct that statement. She already told them a lot today. It would be hard for them to absorb everything so Zhen-Zhen would tell them the truth about FaMo next time.

"Whoah! Zu Wan is your father? He looks so young to be your father!" Sophia reacted again.

"Does it mean? He also has a superpower like yours?" Matthew asked Zhen-Zhen.

Tristan and Zhen-Zhen were giving them one shock after another.

Zhen-Zhen nodded her head as Tristan butted in. "Yes! Father-in-law is so powerful!" Tristan proudly said to them.

"He was the one who sent us here because there were people with powers who wanted to harm me in my previous world," Zhen-Zhen answered the remaining question of Sophia.

"Huh, people wanted to harm you? But why?" Sophia was very intrigued about Zhen-Zhen's life story.

He didn't want to prolong this discussion. He hated hearing anything about those guardian warriors who were acting as heroes.

"So are you staying here in our own world for good? You are not coming back to your world?" Matthew asked Zhen-Zhen one last time.

"Yes, of course! Zhen-Zhen will stay here with me forever. I will not let her go back to that world. I will not let her leave. She should stay here by my side!" Tristan was the one who answered Matthew.

Matthew's question reminded Tristan of the incident where Zhen-Zhen almost left him. She tried to go back to her world. He didn't want that to happen again. He didn't want to lose her.

"Tristan is right. This is our new home now. Tristan is my family. I will stay here with him." Zhen-Zhen softly said, holding Tristan's hands.

"Thank you, wifey! Please don't leave me. I can't live without you!" Tristan said with his pleading look.

Zhen-Zhen bobbed her head, reassuring him. "I won't leave you."

Matthew and Sophia cleared their throat. The husband and wife were starting again with their public display of affection.

"Sophie, Matt? Can you please keep my identity and my power a secret? Please don't let anyone know."

"Of course, Lillie, I mean Zhen-Zhen… Now I'm confused about what name I should call you," Sophia giggled after saying that.

"You can call me Lillie in front of everyone. But I would love to hear you calling me by my real name Zhen-Zhen because this name is the one given to me by my real parents," Zhen-Zhen's voice suddenly became emotional at the mention of her parents.

Sophia: "Ok, Zhen-Zhen… this is a very nice name."

Matthew: "Yes. I agree."

"Hmm, so we are the only ones who knew about your power?" Sophia asked again.

Tristan and Zhen-Zhen exchanged meaningful glances with one another before shaking their heads.

"Eh, do you mean? There is someone who knows your secret aside from us?" Matthew threw a follow-up question.

"Yes, Hannah saw me using my power when I saved her from the burning restaurant abroad," Zhen-Zhen informed them.

"Oh, how did she react?" Matthew was very curious.

"Are you not afraid of me? Hannah was so afraid of me when she saw my power," Zhen-Zhen asked Matthew and Sophia expectantly.

"Eh, we don't have reason to be afraid of you. You are a good person, Zhen-Zhen," Matthew responded to her.

"Despite having such power, I know you will never use that to harm people. Ooops, the incident in the warehouse is a special case. They were the first ones who harmed Matthew and Tristan. They deserved it!" Sophia stated, justifying Zhen-Zhen's action.

"Oh, speaking of those men… do you have any idea why they attacked you?" she added.

Matthew and Tristan met each other's eyes. They were still clueless about the person who hired those men.

"We will find out after interrogating them. I asked my father-in-law to bring them to a place where Matthew and I could question them."

Matthew frowned, racking his brain so hard. He could tell that those men were not just a small Gang. So whoever hired those men had enough money to pay them.

"The two of you should stay here in the hospital and recuperate! You are not allowed to leave!" Sophia said, putting her arms on her waist.

"But we need to teach those men a lesson! We also need to find out about the Mastermind," Matthew said, pouting his lips.

Seeing their beloved women being firm with their decision, Tristan and Matthew could only sigh helplessly and nod their heads obediently.

"Leave this to us! Mr. Zu Wan, Zhen-Zhen, and I will be the ones to interrogate those men!" Sophia informed them. She was confident that she could solicit information from them.

Zhen-Zhen smiled at that thought. She also wanted to do this. She wanted to know who was the mastermind who ordered to hurt Tristan and Matthew.

"We will definitely find the answer and the real culprit for this," Zhen-Zhen said, feeling so determined.

On the other hand, Tristan and Matthew were staring at them with amus.e.m.e.nt.

'Why do I feel like Zhen-Zhen and Sophia are really into this. They look very excited,' Matthew thought to himself.

'My wife, I wonder what she will do to make those men speak up. Well, with my father-in-law with them, I know they will succeed,' Tristan smiled inwardly.

"Ahem, we will let you do that. But in one condition," Tristan mumbled, catching the attention of the two ladies.

Zhen-Zhen: "What condition?"

Sophia: "Sure, just tell us."

Matthew watched Tristan in confusion. He had no idea what condition he would ask them. He was also curious to know.

"Hmm, We should do a video call during that interrogation. Matthew and I will watch you while doing that," Tristan said, smirking at them.
