Chapter 10 Go On A Date

He began to regret coming there. He would not have done so if he had known that Thomas had offended the Larsons.

Noticing his bewilderment, Faye clenched her teeth and said, “Ethan, even you can't figure out a way to save my brother, can you?”

“Yes, Ethan, you’re so resourceful, but you can’t save Tommy?” Ruby asked anxiously.

Waine heaved a sigh and said sorrowfully, “The Larsons are the first family of Waltz City with influence beyond comparison. Let’s not trouble Ethan anymore. A son's bad behavior is due to his father's negligence. It’s my fault for not raising Tommy well. Now that he’s in trouble, it’s my burden to bear. I’m going to pay a visit to the Larsons and offer my apologies. I’ll wait outside and apologize in hope that my actions will move them!”

An idea came into Ethan’s mind. He smacked his thigh and said, “Don’t worry, Fifi, Mr. Carter, Mrs. Carter. I won’t allow myself to stand aside and do nothing! I still have a certain status in Waltz City, if I say so myself, so I believe that the Larsons will certainly show some respect to me too.”

“Really?” Faye’s eyes lit up.

Waine and Ruby were excited. “That’s fantastic. Ethan, we will remember your kindness to us!”

Ethan swelled with pride. As he looked at Faye’s exquisite face, he could not keep his mind from running wild and the words escaped his mouth, “However, I have one condition. I hope that Fifi would agree to go on a date with me after this matter is handled.”

Upon saying that, Ethan immediately regretted it. How could he allow himself to speak his innermost thoughts and feelings?!

Unsurprisingly, when Faye heard what he said, the affection on her face vanished. The situation left her feeling slightly uncomfortable, as if Ethan was threatening her. Her original impression of him being tall, strong, and powerful had shifted.

Waine and Ruby furrowed their brows ever so slightly as well.

“Alright.” Faye nodded and said, “As long as you can save my brother, I’m willing to go on a date with you.”

Ethan hastily said, “Don’t misunderstand me, Fifi. I was only joking. Even if you don’t go on a date with me, I will still save your brother.”

Faye forced a smile. “Hmm, even if you don’t bring it up, I’ll still go on a date with you.”

She was about to sacrifice her body for the family, so she was no longer pure. Why would it matter if she went on a date with Ethan anyway?

Zayn stayed in the car and watched the intimate conversation between Faye and Ethan from afar. They looked just like a couple and it made him feel very uneasy. He pondered for a long time and found that he could not calm down. He decided to head over and check out the situation. Perhaps, he may even be able to help out.

They were at a luxury pool hall. When Faye and the rest of them entered, they saw Thomas kneeling on the ground and he had clearly just taken a good beating. His nose was bruised and his face was swollen.

Upon seeing Faye, Thomas called out in agony, “Save me, sis!”

As soon as he said that, a young man standing next to him kicked him to the ground. The young man cursed ferociously, “I’ll f*cking kill you if you shout again!”

Ruby had always spoiled Thomas. She felt as if she was dying of heartache when she saw her son beaten up like this. Tears streamed down her face. “Tommy, my poor son…”

She wanted to run over, but Waine grabbed her tightly. He berated her softly, “Don’t act rashly! Are you trying to get Tommy killed?!”

Ruby had also realized her mistake. It would not be a good idea to provoke the group of young men before her, especially the young man who was leisurely playing pool. He exuded a powerful aura. He was the leader of the gang, and she figured that he must be the young Larson.

Faye took a deep breath, stepped forward, and said, “Gentleman, it’s my little brother Thomas’ fault for not knowing any better and offending all of you. I hope that you can show mercy and let my brother off. Our Carter family will be forever grateful!”

“Hey, it’s a pretty lady. She looks rather beautiful, doesn’t she?!”

“I didn’t expect that weasel would have such a beautiful sister, hah-hah.”

They cracked into perverted expressions upon seeing Faye and began whistling at her.

In fact, some even tried to come over and touch her. It startled her so much that she hastily hid behind Ethan. “Save me, Ethan!”

Ethan was forced to suffer in silence. He recognized that the few young men there were all big shots that he could not afford to offend. Every single one of them could choke him to death easily, especially that young man playing pool. He was a Larson and his name was Adrian. He was also the most powerful person there!!

Ethan met Adrian the previous month, and he realized that even his own father had to submit to Adrian’s demands.

Ethan enjoyed being pretentious, but he was well aware of where he stood. His status was nothing in the eyes of Adrian, so he could not possibly request favors from him either.

Moreover, he would be doomed if he were to offend him.

At this very moment, he had even begun to retreat.

However, Faye’s call for help boosted his feelings of masculine dominance, and he chose to become Faye’s champion. He stood straight with his head held high and his chest puffed up. “Stop it,” he commanded.

One of the rich kids pointed at Ethan and yelled, “Who the heck are you? How dare you order me to stop?”

Ethan gulped and the manly facade he tried so hard to maintain faded immediately. He took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket and offered it to the kid. He said in a humble manner, “Sir, my name is Ethan Capel and I’m the son of Zeus Group’s chairman, Roger Capel. I’m also in Waltz City’s social circle.”

“Zeus Group?” Furrowing his brows, the rich kid turned around and asked the others, “Hey, are any of you aware of this Zeus Group?”

They shook their heads to show they had no knowledge of it and had not even heard of the name before. Ethan was so embarrassed that his family’s Zeus Group was genuinely nothing in the eyes of these rich kids. It was but a small company.

“I don’t f*cking care if you come from the Zeus Group or Deuce Group. Cut your jabbering and pay up 1.5 million dollars, and then I’ll let you take Thomas with you. If you don’t have 1.5 million dollars, scram!” the rich kid said tyrannically.

Ethan stooped even lower. “Sir, Thomas is my brother-in-law. He is not an intelligent boy and too foolish to recognize men of authority. I wonder what he did to offend you, sir?”

Ethan was being so humble that the young man decided to control his temper. He grunted and said, “You’re right about that. This piece of trash was so dumb that he assumed he was the most powerful person in the world after a few drinks. He refused to apologize after running into Larson and still had the audacity to make rude remarks! Let me tell you this, if all of you can’t pay up 1.5 million dollars as his ransom today, he can say goodbye to his hands!”

After she heard that, Ruby could not keep herself from yelling, “He had only made a few rude remarks to all of you. Did you need to go as far as beating him up to this extent? Moreover, you’re asking for 1.5 million dollars. Why don’t you just rob a bank then?!”

From his game, Adrian then spoke, “You’re right. I am just robbing you. Why? Your son was audacious enough to call me a b*stard! The price has gone up now. One and a half million dollars won’t solve the issue, so you have to pay two million dollars. Of course…”

At this point, Adrian cracked into a malicious smile. “You can go ahead and report it to the police. Let’s place a bet and see if it does any good. However, don’t blame me for not warning you in advance. Once you’ve reported to it the cops, I’ll be taking more than just his hands. I’ll be taking his life!”

His statement made Faye and the others tremble in fear!

Ethan was still gulping. He regretted offering to help and was about to make an exit when Adrian beckoned him with his finger. He said in a taunting manner, “So it turns out that you’re the son of Roger Capel, huh? Come here.”

“Mr. Larson…” Ethan’s legs were trembling, but he did not have the courage to refuse. His face turned ghastly pale from fear.

However, just as Ethan walked over and Adrian patted him on the shoulder, about to start talking, the sound of footsteps came from the doorway. A man walked into the room.

It was none other than Zayn.

Adrian, who was still imposing as ever a moment ago, suddenly had a drastic change of expression upon seeing Zayn. There was actually respect and admiration in his eyes!

    It was true that Adrian was a Larson, but he was the bastard son of a mistress. He did not have much authority in the family, and his share of the annual profits was also far less than the sons born to legitimate wives. On the other hand, Zayn was a son born of a legal wife, so he was a true heir to the Larsons!Before Zayn was kicked out of the Larson family, Adrian had been of a lower status and he would treat Zayn respectfully, never doing anything above his station. More specifically, Adrian would never take a seat when Zayn was standing, and when Zayn was seated, Adrian would never lie down. Anything else would have been seen as disrespectful!Technically, Zayn had been kicked out of the Larson family and lost his status, so Adrian did not need to defer to him anymore. However, Adrian had to respect Zayn even more now! It was because Zayn’s innocence had been proven, so he would return to the Larsons sooner or later. Most importantly, his grandfather transferred 70 percent of hi

    “That’s my duty as a close friend of Fifi’s after all. When she’s in trouble, I can’t be cowardly trying to hide just to save myself, right? Hah-hah,” said Ethan in an eccentric manner while casting a telling glance at Zayn, openly mocking him. Zayn immediately furrowed his brows upon hearing that. Ethan had no shame. Did Thomas being saved have anything to do with him?“Ethan, that whole thing had nothing to do with you, did it?” Zayn could not refrain himself from saying. Ethan immediately burst out laughing aloud. “Hah-hah, could it be that it had nothing to do with me but had something to do with you? Could it be that Adrian was not showing respect to me but you, Zayn? That’s a huge joke!”Ruby kicked Zayn from behind and yelled, “Shut up Zayn, you imbecile! It was fine that you cravenly clung to life and hid at the side when Tommy was in trouble. Now that Tommy was saved by Ethan, how dare you still make bitter remarks? You’re a shameless assh*le!”Zayn almost fell from the

    George was a man who cared a great deal about his reputation. Every year, he would throw a party for his birthday that everyone in his family, both young and old, was obliged to attend. Previously, his vanity would only allow that the feast be held in a five-star hotel with a grand setup, but the family business was doing so poorly this year. There were too many major financial losses, so he could only throw the party in an old three-star hotel. He was too embarrassed to invite the other business owners in his circle and dispensed all unnecessary formalities. By the time Faye and her family arrived, the vast majority of the Carter family was already there. Because they showed up last, they were immediately criticized. “What’s wrong with all of you? You arrive last every year. Don’t you know that everybody else is waiting on you?”George cast an unkind glance as well. It was his 70th birthday this year, so he was supposed to throw a grand party and invite everyone. Instead, he coul

I hope that Mr. Carter is willing to betroth Faye to me!”His voice echoed through the entire room, reverberating in the air. Everyone could feel the longing in his heart. Faye’s charming face blushed scarlet at once. Ethan’s actions threw her into a flurry of panic, and she was at a loss as to what to do. Frankly, Ethan had been pursuing her for many years. She never had feelings for Ethan, and the most she could say was that she found him tolerable. Nevertheless, after witnessing Ethan doing everything he could to save Thomas from Adrian two days ago, she was touched. Any woman would fall for a powerful, masculine man. Ethan’s strength gave her a sense of security that she had never experienced before. Conversely, Zayn was far wors

    Every person in attendance was dumbstruck upon hearing that. George asked, “Which Larson family is that?”Many people had the same question on their minds. There were no Larsons in George’s social circle. “It’s the Larson family, the most influential one in Waltz City!” said the person delivering the message. His face had turned scarlet and his body was shivering with anticipation. “What?”George was bewildered. In his panic, he knocked over a plate in front of him and it crashed onto his foot. The pain was excruciating, but he had other things on his mind. He widened his eyes and said, “Chase! Is this a mistake? Is that person genuinely one of the Larsons, the first family of Waltz City?”Chase gulped and nodded vigorously. He said with unprecedented seriousness, “Grandpa, I’m 100% positive!”George hissed as he inhaled deeply. The rest of the family felt like they were in a dream as well. They could not believe that this was real, and it took a long time for them to recover

If Zayn was not around, what was the point?Jordan stood on the spot, expressionless. The numerous Carter family members felt fear creeping into their hearts and Ethan could tell that something was off. He hastily asked George, “Grandpa, is someone absent from your 70th birthday party tonight?”George glanced around the entire room and noticed that everyone from the Carter family was there. There were the older ones and the younger ones, so no one was missing from the party. Moreover, it was his 70th birthday celebration, so he was the focus of the night. Who else from the Larson family needed to be there?George felt puzzled, but he still shook his head and said, “Everybody’s here.”‘Everybody’s here?’Adrian and Jordan exchanged glances. Could it be that this was Zayn’s test for them and he was observing from afar?It was highly possible…Soon, they came up wit

I’m your father-in-law! You can’t kill me!”There was a change of Zayn’s icy cold face at last when he heard that. He furrowed his brows for a moment. However, just as Osiris was pleased about his remark, Zayn had already thrown a punch. It was a simple, unadorned, straightforward, concise punch that landed heavily on Osiris’ chest. A poof that sounded like poking through a layer of paper was heard when he punched through Osiris’ chest. On the other hand, Osiris’ body halted to a stop as well. He widened his eyes in disbelief and lowered his head to look at his wound incredulously….“You… You…” He glared at Zayn, his gaze filled with recalcitrance, fear and regret.

He can’t possibly escape from danger under such circumstances no matter how powerful he is!”“Oh no, oh no, Sergeant Larson is going to die here…”“What should we do? Could it be that we’re not going to do anything to save him?”“I don’t know.

Soon, they received the reply and they were instructed not to act rashly or approach easily. It was because they would be doomed if they were to get closer and enter the attack zone of the invincibilis powerhouses. Hence, they could only watch from afar and await reinforcement

    Upon saying that, Zayn placed Faye on the ground in an extremely gentle and cautious manner. Faye’s body had already become stiff, but her body had actually begun to turn soft after being caressed by Zayn’s palm. She lay flat on the ground with an expression that looked like she was asleep. After Zayn was done, he turned around and looked toward Osiris, his expression icy cold. He said nonchalantly, “It’s your fault that Fifi is dead. You deserve to die.”Next, his gaze swept across everyone and said something that terrified everyone, “All of you deserve to die!”Upon hearing that, Osiris’ expression turned somber and filled with murderous intent abruptly.

He had encountered plenty of geniuses and countless geniuses more gifted in martial arts than Zayn. However, Zayn was the only ine whose willpower was so strong that he could endure the pain of body restructuring. Even he himself failed to withstand the pain of body restructuring and had rolled on the ground frantically.

My trip to Earth was not wasted this time…huh?”However, it was at this exact moment when Zayn on the ground raised his head and looked in their direction with his sharp gaze as if he could sense them.

He knew that it was Faye’s final moment.The glint in Faye’s eyes was vanishing gradually. He opened his mouth and of all the words he wanted to say to her in her last moment, he said, “Yes!”Upon hearing the word, Faye’s aged face cracked a smile. Then, the joyous smile was frozen on her face for eternity…Zayn’s body stiffened as well. He had already forgotten how he landed on the ground, but he remained in the same position with Faye in his arms for a very long time. He hugged Faye until her residual body temperature dispersed and her body began to become stiff. Zayn was heartbroken. He felt a feeling of dejection and hollowness that he had never experienced before and it washed over his entire body like a flood. He lost track of time until he felt the rain pouring from the sky.

It was well within his expectation that both Faye and him would not survive the fall. Now, he was in so much agony just because Faye was one step ahead of him in death. Was he in agony because Faye sacrificed her life for his survival, or was it because he would not see Faye again for the rest of his life?Zayn’s mind could not function normally anymore because he was in so much pain and tormented now. His body was still dropping constantly and at an increasing speed. They were dropping so fast that Faye could not withstand the process and was suffocating.

    Upon saying that, Faye kissed Zayn’s lips. It was a kiss so deep and unhindered. Zayn hugged Faye tightly as well. In the beginning, he was under the assumption that it was a very normal kiss. It was their final sentimentality before death. However, Zayn discovered that something was off soon!It was because he could clearly feel a gush of immense power passing from Faye’s mouth constantly. The intensity of the power had even surpassed that of the fruits he consumed in Shangri-la. The unexpected change caught him off guard and he was dumbfounded instantly.
