Chapter 434 Beyond Expectation (2/2)

”Really? But I'm not talented!” Zachary instantly declined, and he flailed his hands awkwardly like he could wipe the whole conversation away.

”Don't be so modest. I have been paying close attention to you these days, and I know almost everything about you. You and I are fully aware of just how much talent you have!” Riley said with a shrewd look on her face.

”It seems that I can't deny my talent or refuse to meet with your leader. So, when do you want me to meet with her?” Zachary sighed in defeat and finally agreed. He could tell from her face, that sh

gful glance at Zachary, and then she turned around and walked away.

Zachary obediently followed her with his Shadow Pace, and they soon arrived at a beautiful place in Shura College. Hills were covered with green grass and clear water sparkled and rushed in the river. A fresh breeze blew gently along the mangrove forest and gently caressed their skin.

”You did great in the weapon refining contest, and you have exceeded all of my expectations,” Katrina started, as they strolled along the mangrove forest.

”There will be something more unexpected,” Zachary said as he smirked behind her, which made her stop in her tracks.

”You want to win first place in the weapon refining contest?!” she exclaimed in surprise. Although she knew that he was extremely talented, she didn't think that he was that ambitious. However, she expected him to do something astonishing, and she wouldn't put it past him to accomplish this goal.

”You are brilliant, Master Katrina!” said Zachary, an amused smile on his face.

”You call me brilliant, but if I didn't find out, you would be laughing at me now, right?” Katrina's expression was glacial, and her eyebrows were knitted in a deep frown. It seemed that he had offended her, so he immediately shook his head while his hands were raised in a pacifying way.

”I would never dare to laugh at you, Master Katrina. If it were not for you, I wouldn't have come to Shura College, and if I hadn't come here, I would never have improved so quickly,” Zachary said honestly. He had always thought that the astonishing progress he had made once he left Celestial College and came to Shura College was not a coincidence, and he knew now, for sure, that it was his destiny that was unfolding right before his eyes.
