Sheyaan Stood Frozen in the middle of the Bustling road, Paralyzed by shock. Her eyes weren't on the vehicles rushing Toward her like harbingers of death. instead, they were Locked
onto a figure standing by the sidewalk, draped in mystery like a living shadow. A sudden gust of wind scattered her silken hair across her innocent face, but she didn't even blink
It was Zavian.
A faint, cool, and enigmatic smile played on Zavian's lips. With effortless grace, he snapped his Fingers.
Snap!
In the blink of an eye, the world shifted. Sheyaan found herself standing safely on the sidewalk, away from the lethal path of the cars.
Time rushed back to life; the roar of engines Resumed,
people's chatter filled the air. and dry leaves began to dance in the wind. But Sheyaan's heart remained still, Her gaze fixed on the spot where she had seen the mysterious Man.
Sheyaan! Have you lost your mind? Fangxi's voice, thick with terror and anger, pierced through her thoughts. He grabbed her shoulders, shaking her Firmly.
"What were you doing in the middle of the road? If something had happened to you, how would I have faced Mom and Dad?
The concern in Fangxi's voice was unmistakable, but Sheyaan was still lost in the remnants of that impossible moment.
Sheyaan! Are you even listening to me? Fangxi shook her again.
Snapped back to reality, Sheyaan stammered, "Hm...Hmm.. what... what happened?
Let's go home! And here, give this child back to his mother, Fangxi gestured toward the toddler. The mother rushed over, sobbing with relief as she thanked Sheyaan.
Thank you so much! You saved my child's life. I will never forget this kindness.
As they walked toward the car, Fangxi began his lecture.
And you, why do you have this obsession with being a hero? You're just a little girl yourself! Focus on growing your height and age first before you try to save the world, understood.
Sheyaan pouted, so what if I'm small now? I'll grow up one day, you'll see.
Fangxi laughed, ruffling her hair affectionately. "Alright, alright, my little future businesswoman! Stop being angry now. Let's go.
The car drove away, and Sheyaan remained unaware of the figure watching her from the rooftop of an ancient building.
Zavian's crimson-black eyes followed her fading shadow. In the next instant, he dissolved into the air like smoke.
Zavian reappeared in his magnificent Penthouse. He sat royally on a velvet sofa, calmly scrolling through a smartphone. Suddenly, and his loyal subordinate, Kalene, emerged, bowing low.
king Zavian, Kalene's voice was a mix of fear and confusion. Forgive me, but I do not understand
we demons only deal in death or 'Soul Contracts.' You saved that human girl without demanding a price.
You have broken the centuries. old law of our Realm!
Zavian took his eyes off the phone and set it on a side table. He stood up and walked toward the massive floor to ceiling
window, where the setting sun cast a golden yet harsh light on his handsome, stern face.
I broke no law, Zavian said in a hauntingly calm tone. And as for that girl... this story is going to be a long one.
Everyone will understand when the time is right.
Zavian turned abruptly toward Kalene, his voice turning cold and heavy with authority. Get used to it, because a few years from now, my word will be the only law in the Demon Empire.
Kalene immediately lowered his gaze. Yes, King Zavian. Though... you have already begun changing some of the old laws...
Just then, a melodious, cheerful voice rang out, Hey! Who's changing the laws
It was Alisha. Kalene caught Zavian's eye and gave a mischievous wink. Boss! Are you heading out somewhere
Zavian was momentarily stunned, then catching Kalene's drift, he stammered, Ye...yes... well...
Alisha asked excitedly, .Really? Where are you going? To explore the human world
Zavian composed himself. No, we were just deciding where to go.
Alisha immediately chimed in, "Then Zayan! Come with me. I own a massive luxury cafe. You'll love the coffee and the atmosphere. Shall we.
From behind, Younshu came running while putting on his jacket. Wait for me! I'm Coming too!
Zavian Agreed, wanting to understand the human world more closely for Sheyaan's sake.
When the four of them stepped out of the car at the cafe, it was a sight to behold. They walked as if they were international models on a high. fashion runway.
Zavian led the group, hands in his pockets, wearing a sharp white suit with his hair messily falling over his forehead. he looked like a dream.
People in the cafe froze, their coffee forgotten as they stared. Alisha brewed the coffee herself, And when Zavian took his first sip, he was genuinely surprised. What did you put in this? I've never tasted anything like it!
On the other side of town, when Sheyaan and Fangxi arrived home, Lucy was sitting on the sofa, scrolling through her phone.
Back already? Lucy looked up with sharp, cold eyes. .What took you so long.
Fangxi replied, We finished the admission process and bought Sheyaan's favorite cake.
Lucy scoffed with an attitude. Oh? And who paid for the cake? She doesn't have a single penny. This girl is only here to make us go bankrupt!
Sheyaan's heart shattered. She lowered her head in shame and ran to her room without a word. Fangxi scolded Lucy harshly,
"Lucy! You'll never change. She's so much younger than you, yet you don't have a shred of kindness in your heart!
Fangxi entered the room to find Sheyaan crying while holding a photo of her parents. Sheyaan... stop crying. Lucy is just being difficult. Don't take her words to heart.
Sheyaan sobbed, No, Fangxi, she's right. I am a burden on all of you. Please, don't buy anything else for me.
Fangxi hugged her and joked, Fine! If you feel that bad, then when you grow up to be a famous businesswoman, you can pay me back with interest! Deal.
Sheyaan wiped her tears innocently. Really? Will I really have my own business one day.
"Absolutely! Fangxi laughed. They ate the cake together and played games. Fangxi was the only one in that house who truly cared for her.
The next morning, Sheyaan was glowing with excitement. When she came downstairs in her white and blue school uniform, everyone was stunned.
She looked like a little angel. Fangxi. Hey Sheyaan yo...you are looking so beautiful and Aunty said!
Sheyaan enjoyi in the school ok and make a new friends after that they both head to school
Sheyaan, if you have any problems, come to my class downstairs, okay. Fangxi said before heading to his own block.
However, during the interval, as Sheyaan was packing her books, a group of bullies entered the classroom. Their leader, Yang, placed a heavy hand on Sheyaan's shoulder.
Hey, cute girl! Need some help? You're quite beautiful.
Sheyaan trembled. No...no..., I don't need hel...help. Please leave.
She tried to stand up, but Yang shoved her back down into the chair. The entire class sat in a fearful silence. When Sheyaan tried again, shouting Get away from me! Yang angrily grabbed her by her hair.
"Aaaahhhh! " Sheyaan's scream of pain echoed through the room.
Don't you dare raise your voice at me, or things will get much worse. Yang growled. Sheyaan wept, begging him to let go but he only tightened his grip.
Zavian's Wrath
At that very moment, back at the penthouse. Zayan (Zavian) was talking to Alisha. Suddenly the Black Rose Tattoo on his wrist began to glow with a fierce, pulsating red light.
Zavian's face turned into a mask of cold fury. I have something to do. I'll be right back.
He stepped out of the penthouse door and vanished into black smoke. An instant later he was standing outside Sheyaan's classroom.
Seeing her cornered and weeping, his anger hit the ceiling. Just as Yang shoved Sheyaan toward a desk. Zavian snapped his fingers.
Time Froze.
Everything went still. Sheyaan stopped mid-fall, suspended in the air, and the bullies became living statues. Zavian stepped into the classroom.
His rage was so intense that he felt like he might ignite, but he composed himself to ensure Sheyaan wasn't harmed.
He gently lifted Sheyaan from the air and placed her securely on the bench. Then, using his powers, he forced the bullies into a humiliating 'chicken' pose right where they stood.
As Zavian placed his hand softly on Sheyaan's head and Zayan stepped out of the classroom and snapped his fingers with a subtle flourish.
Snap!
In an instant, time resumed its flow. Sheyaan, who had been on the verge of falling and crying in pain moments ago found herself sitting perfectly fine in her chair.
She was completely shocked, How... how did I get back here.
Suddenly, the classroom erupted into thunderous laughter. When Sheyaan looked up, the sadness on her face transformed into a radiant smile.
She couldn't hold back and started laughing out loud. Right in front of her, the bullies. Yang and his gang. were hunched over on the floor in a humiliating 'Chicken' pose!
Laughing innocently, Sheyaan remarked. If they made sounds like real roosters they'd look so much more authentic. wouldn't they.
The entire class burst into a fresh wave of laughter at her comment. Standing outside, Zayan heard her and a smirk played on his lips.
He raised his hand slightly, and a faint red glow flickered from his fingertips. Suddenly, instead of human pleas, the boys began to let out loud, rhythmic "Cock-a-doodle doos.
The classroom turned into a riot of laughter. The bullies were turning red with rage and embarrassment, struggling to stand up, but their bodies felt glued to the floor
they could do nothing but crow like confused roosters.
From the shadows of the hallway. Zayan watched Sheyaan intently. Her eyes sparkled as she laughed, making her look breathtakingly beautiful. Watching her.
Zayan whispered in his signature cool voice.
Grow up quickly, Sheyaan… and then, I will tell you the whole truth myself.
