"How were you able to do that? And for what purpose?" Zhen-Zhen finally found her voice again.
She was really shocked knowing that Liam was the one who brought her to that mountain.
"Explain to her everything," FaMo demanded Liam.
Liam just scratched his face before nodding his head. He really meant to explain to her so that Zhen-Zhen would not hate him for doing this.
"I'm sorry, Lillie. I did it on a whim. I just wanted to confirm something. You and I are similar. We both have supernatural powers. I got so excited after I discovered that," Liam said as his alibi.
Zhen-Zhen still couldn't believe that Liam also had a superpower. But she was glad to know that she was not the only superbeing in Tristan's world.
"Is that really true? You have powers too?!" Zhen-Zhen said with her elated voice.
Liam nodded his head to confirm it. FaMo, on the other hand, guided Zhen-Zhen to stand up. He even brushed off the dirt on Zhen-Zhen's clothes.
Liam was fascinated to see the gentle side of the demon god. He was too caring when it came to Zhen-Zhen. But there was one thing he noticed. Zhen-Zhen called him FaMo instead of father.
'Is FaMo also meant Dad or father? Oh, the demon god is also calling her Zhen-Zhen, not Lillie. Is Zhen-Zhen her real name?' he asked himself.
"By the way, Lillie, my power is water. I can control water. I guess yours is fire, am I right?"
Zhen-Zhen bobbed her head. "Yes, that's my power. But I am really curious. How did you find out about my supernatural ability?"
Liam started to tell Zhen-Zhen how he noticed her power. He told her that he began to suspect that there was someone in the university who was not an ordinary human.
He informed Zhen-Zhen about those situations wherein he encountered some strange phenomenon inside the university. Those were the moments Zhen-Zhen used her powers.
"I started to track those incidents and put the pieces together. And those things led me to you. It just so happened that today I decided to confirm it, especially when I sensed your strong magical force nearby."
Liam omitted the fact that he saw what happened in the warehouse, including the fact he put a mark on Zhen-Zhen's wrist last night when they met each other in the convenience store.
Zhen-Zhen bit her lower lip as he saw FaMo staring at her with a serious expression on his face. He already warned Zhen-Zhen before that she should avoid using her power to stay low profile.
In the end, she was able to attract Liam's attention. Who would have thought that there was another superbeing in the university aside from Zhen-Zhen?
Then FaMo recalled the first time he sensed a strong force in that school when Zhen-Zhen took her examination. He bet that strong force came from Liam.
Zhen-Zhen frowned as she remembered that they still had unfinished business. She faced Liam while raising her eyebrow.
"Liam, why did you suddenly do this? You should have waited and let me finish interrogating those men who beat Tristan and Matthew. You interrupted us. And what happened to Sophia? Was she left alone in that house together with those bad guys?"
Zhen-Zhen scolded Liam for the very first time. She was worried about Sophia.
"Don't worry, Lillie. I already made sure that they couldn't leave the basement. Speaking about those men, can I ask you something. Do you really intend to kill them if they don't speak?"
Both Zhen-Zhen and FaMo looked at Liam with disbelief. Was he really thinking that Zhen-Zhen could kill someone?
"Are you really a friend of Zhen-Zhen? Or you are just dumb?" FaMo couldn't control himself from insulting Liam.
He couldn't believe that Liam would think that Zhen-Zhen would kill someone.
"Of course not. I don't have any plan of killing them nor hurting them. They already received enough beatings from FaMo." Zhen-Zhen corrected Liam's wrong assumption right away.
"I'm sorry. I really misunderstood it. I saw the flames coming towards them. I thought~"
Liam was not able to finish his words as FaMo cut him off immediately.
"We were just scaring them so that they would speak. Zhen-Zhen had already created a shield, protecting those men. The fire will not be able to penetrate that barrier. They are all safe!"
"Fortunately, they talked even before you interrupted us, or else, I will really kick your ass for ruining our plan!" FaMo spoke spontaneously, venting out his frustration against Liam.
Zhen-Zhen smiled faintly while tapping FaMo's shoulder. She was trying to calm him down. It seemed like FaMo was enraged because of Liam's actions.
They couldn't blame FaMo. He was scared to death when he was separated from Zhen-Zhen. He sensed danger. He was supposed to be with her, protecting her. He thought something bad happened to Zhen-Zhen and her baby.
On the other hand, Liam really felt guilty for the misunderstanding. He really misjudged Zhen-Zhen. He should have believed in her, instead of doubting her.
"I'm really sorry…" These were the only words Liam could utter.
He felt really embarrassed for thinking about the wrong assumption. He was glad that he didn't harm her, or else, he would never forgive himself.
"It's alright. But don't do this again next time," Zhen-Zhen reminded him.
"Can I ask one more thing?" Liam wanted to grab this opportunity to know the answers to those questions running in his mind right now.
"Is Zhen-Zhen your real name? What is your relationship with each other?"
FaMo and Zhen-Zhen exchanged glances with one another after hearing the last question of Liam. They were contemplating whether to tell him about their real relationship or their father-daughter relationship that Tristan and others knew.
"Yes, Zhen-Zhen is my real name. It was the name given to me by my father." Zhen-Zhen paused for a moment before continuing.
Since she would tell Tristan about her real connection with FaMo, she decided to share it also with Liam.
"He is FaMo. My protector."
Liam: "???"
'Protector? Not her father? So does it mean, this man is not the demon god.'
