They spoke with an earnestness that came from the depths of their hearts, echoing across the entire base all at once. It made the 20-odd Wolf’s Fang soldiers present turn solemn. However, they felt even more disdainful as they acknowledged that Zayn was powerful, but the bunch of trash from Squad 4 would never possibly become the first in the Insurgent Trifecta. With a nod, Zayn said, “Alright. From today onward, I shall carry out intensive training with all of you at a level of difficulty that will surpass your imagination. Whoever wants to back out now, you may step forward…So, it seems that all of you have plenty of fight in you and won’t back out. Very well then! I shall take it that all of you agree. No one is allowed to back out anymore as soon as the intensive training begins.”At this point, a ruthless smile cracked across his face. They could not help trembling in fear, and an ominous presentiment arose in their hearts. At the same time, the Wolf’s Fang member that was
Dick swallowed a gulp of saliva as the image of Zayn Larson came into his mind. He remembered the scene of Zayn being all-powerful like Poseidon when the latter beat him up on the cruise the other day. Moreover, he remembered how Zayn had then hunted down and annihilated a school of sharks in the end. How could he afford to offend a powerful man like him?Zayn was so powerful when he was at sea. Now that he was on land, he would crush Dick completely!Meanwhile, Liam caught up to Dick. He had no idea that Dick had already met Zayn, so he said in a pleading tone, “Cheney, I think that the situation today is just a misunderstanding. It was I who recruited Sergeant Larson, and he usually won’t take the initiative to cause trouble. Out of respect for me, will you please not lower yourself to Sergeant Larson’s level later?”Liam did not have the confidence that he could convince Dick either. After all, he had been working together with the man for a very long time, and he knew very wel
“Enough!”Dick had gotten so tired of it all that he punctuated it with a bellow; one that shut the Wolf’s Fang Squad members up. They were quick to gloat, thinking that Zayn was definitely doomed.They turned to Zayn expectantly, only to find him ignoring Dick the whole time as he continued to train his ragtag squad.He was so godawfully arrogant, it was hard for the Wolf’s Fang Squad not to imagine his head on a pike. In fact, even Liam was of the opinion that his pompousness was uncalled for. He thought Zayn had a death wish—God, why would anyone want that?The other top dogs of the organization—all of them had only heard of Zayn through the grapevine—were also unsurprisingly underwhelmed by his attitude. The only one who was genuinely on his toes was Dick. He had already learnt plenty about the man’s personality during their last encounter, and from the looks of it, Zayn was not happy with him at all.Oh my God, these punks were going to get him killed one day.Not that he ha
If anything, Zayn’s proclamation sounded even less respectful. It was awful enough that Dick’s face was scrunched up in animosity. The corners of his lips were twitching against his control even harder than before.He did not expect Zayn to make things so difficult. If Dick followed his old playbook, Zayn’s behavior would have justified a fight right then and there. Everything else, which included having ‘civilized’ discussions, took the backseat. All that knee-jerk belligerence evaporated the moment he held eye contact with Zayn, mainly because of how much trauma the latter had inflicted upon him. Dick knew all too well of the terror Zayn was capable of wreaking. He also knew that even if he threw the first punch, he would not have the upperhand regardless.At the very least, Zayn managed to cause a stir within the crowd of bystanders with his proclamation. Everyone seemed to have reached the same, simultaneous conclusion that Zayn had gone absolutely bonkers—one would have to be cl
While Squad 4 was riding their high, Dick and his squad were at one of their lowest points. They hung their heads in shame, silently observing the swirling storm that was Dick’s facial expressions, worried that any sound they made would draw the first and biggest fire.Dick’s cold eyes scanned their faces before he began, “So, which one of your geniuses suggested messing with Squad Four? Get your *ss up here.”The Wolf’s Fang Squad’s members collectively lowered their heads even more. No one was willing to confess.Dick snickered. “What’s wrong? Cat got your tongues?”More silence. The Dick they were dealing with right now was too terrifying to face—it was evident just how livid their instructor had become.“Okay, then. Ten-thousand push-ups—no exceptions!”The crowd turned as white as a sheet. Ten-thousand push-ups? There was no way they could manage that without their arms falling off by the end of it!It was then when one of them gritted his teeth and decided to step forwards
“Sergeant… Larson? Who exactly are you referring to?” Holden questioned the validity of the suggestion, while the rest of the committee were taken aback.The only two people with the strongest powers within the Insurgent Trifecta were Dick and Byleth, and with how important and difficult the upcoming mission was, one would have automatically assumed either one of the two to be the man for the job. Dick’s suggestion came so out of left field that even Liam was stunned.“Come on, what other Larsons do we have? I’m talking about Sergeant Larson, the instructor of Squad 4.”“Yeah, sure. Good joke by the way, but maybe save it for some other time, Cheney. This is an S-level mission we’re talking about here. We can’t afford any mistakes,” Holden replied. “Then there’s Zayn Larson, who’s new to all of this. What makes you think that he’s the guy we need right now?”His rebuttal earned several hums of assent around the table. It was always worrying to have a newbie undertake a mission so c
The committee’s eyes glinted at the exceptional idea.The Great Armed Race was something sacred to the organization! The Insurgent Trifecta had always been falling short for years in the tournament’s rankings, and the streak had ultimately disfigured their reputation. If they could secure a decisive victory, though—if they could have an underdog’s comeback—just imagine how thrilling it would be!After a brief discussion, the committee had made the decision to send Zayn on the S-class mission.The man for the job himself was startled by his new task. “Are you sure it’s a good idea to pass such an important job to someone like me?”“On the contrary, it’s been decided that you’re our best bet at completing the mission,” Liam replied solemnly, patting him on the back. “With great power comes great responsibilities, Sergeant Larson. Please, accept it.”“When you put it that way, well…” Zayn began, coughing up a few awkward laughs. Admittedly, Liam deploying him on a mission out of the
Zayn knew things were off to a rough start, and just as he had expected, their arrival was quickly halted by the appearance of several towering, hulking foreigners who told them to stop in Esperanto.The ace of the Wolf’s Fang squad quickly explained their presence in proficient Esperanto. “We’re agents from the Insurgent Trifecta of Rheasia. We’re here to protect Miss Bell while she remains on Rheasian soil. Here, our official documents.”He produced the papers while Zayn and the other man showed their own, but their foreign counterparts were unamused, which was less than surprising when one noticed the contempt in their eyes.The Rheasian agents were petite and lacking in musculature, which inspired so little confidence that one of the foreign bodyguards—a foreigner with piercing green eyes who looked to be in his thirties—drawled, “You three are Rheasian agents who’re here to protect Miss Bell?”Hank Stone, the ace of The Wolf’s Fang Squad, answered, “That’s right. This is one o
He had already found his next path and he was hopeful for his future. He was convinced that he could reproduce the miracle perfectly if he had enough time!He turned around abruptly and saw Zayn’s icy cold face. He could not refrain himself from saying aloud, “Zayn! 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. Zayn said nonchalantly, “You don’t deserve to be h
“You’re next.”Bang!Upon saying that, he exerted strength in his limbs and flew toward Osiris. Yes, he flew over. His body rose into the air and he was capable of standing steadily in the air without any support. He looked just like a superhero from the movies!Most importantly, he was extremely swift in speed and had already surpassed the speed limit achievable by mankind. Osiris felt an immense sense of danger that he had never felt before at this exact moment. It sent a shiver down his spine instantly and he was actually scared out of his wits that his body turned icy cold. He had a feeling that he was no match for Zayn and that he would die immediately if he stayed!Zayn who advanced beyond invincibilis state was way too powerful that he could not make sense anymore and he was no match for Zayn. He made the quickest and most precise decision that was to run. He would spare no effort in running away from Zayn!While there was life, there was hope. Zayn’s success prov
Hence, they did not have the courage to rescue Zayn even after noticing that he was in imminent danger. They could only watch helplessly and do nothing. “Look! That’s Sergeant Larson! Oh god, what transpired in the past few days? Why is Sergeant Larson being surrounded by so many powerhouses from the clubs? 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. Let’s ask for instructions from our superior…”The numerous combat aircraft in the sky began to send out signals and asked for instruction from their superior. 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 already realized by now that his hard work and effort of a lifetime was wasted on Zayn!At the moment he found Faye in her aging state completely drained of life and power, he realized that his plan had failed!The result of his hard work for a lifetime was seized by the bastard before him!In an instant, his rage
“Zayn’s willpower is so strong that he is capable of withstanding the pain of his body’s restructuring indifferently. He’s an excellent talent.” The person speaking was the armored man and he was looking at Zayn through the cloud without attempting to conceal his admiration. 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. The woman nodded to herself as she looked at Zayn without attempting to conceal her admiration and approval. “This Earther is quite impressive. He has already taken the step successfully. 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.
Zayn wanted to reject her instinctively, but when he saw the final hopefulness in Faye’s eyes, he could not bring himself to reject her anymore. 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. Even the sky could feel his sorrow and began to w
Zayn had never felt so agonized in his life!It was because he knew that Faye was already at the end of her life, not even God could save her now!He had no idea why his heart would ache so badly and why he hated himself so much. 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. After seeing Faye’s condition, Zayn did not even think. He began to stop his body from falling at full speed instinctively as he was born to do it until he became completely suspended in the air!I
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. He did not manage to respond to the situation. What the heck was going on?He widened his eyes and stared at Faye before him. However, he soon saw something that sent a shiver down his spine. Faye’s hair turned from black to white swiftly at a visible speed!Moreover, Faye’s fair, tender skin aged constantly as if life was drained from her instantly. Her skin turned wrinkly and dry like a tree bark. The situation did
“Listen to my order, all members!”Meanwhile, Osiris spoke, his expression filled with ferocity . “Locate both of their bodies from the cliff at the fastest speed!”Upon saying that, he vanished from where he stood. Meanwhile, two people stood at a mysterious location that no one could see above Regicide Heofon’s ground. These two people were a man and a woman. The man was clad in armor and assumed the posture of an army general, filled with dominance. He exuded a powerful presence that had already surpassed the level of all powerhouses on earth. Even Osiris and Zayn were nothing in this man’s presence. On the other hand, the woman stood in front of the man. Her beauty was impeccable and she was as graceful as a fairy…The woman had her head lowered to look at the cliff ahead of her and cracked a peculiar smile. Speaking of which, it was not the first time these two people showed up on earth. They were the ones who brought up the live broadcast of Zayn and King Erik in Sha
