They looked into each other’s eyes and could see the unwillingness in each other’s eyes, yet they faced death calmly in the face. As members of the Insurgent Trifecta, they represented the entire Rheasia. From the moment they joined the Insurgent Trifecta, they took their vows solemnly by pledging to be soldiers of the Insurgent Trifecta when they were alive and the ghosts of the trifecta in death, and they would abide by the order of the Insurgent Trifecta for the rest of their lives. This was their responsibility and also their mission. Their only regret was that they were not sacrificing themselves for the country but for the daughter of a wealthy tycoon in Eurosia…“I, Hank Stone...!”“I, Grant Yates...!”Both of them shouted aloud simultaneously, “...have no regrets in our lives for joining the Insurgent Trifecta. We will be the souls of the Insurgent Trifecta in this life, and we’ll still be members of the Insurgent Trifecta in our next lives!”Upon shouting that, they burs
Zayn finally arrived. He did not drive here but had come running over wildly. The journey would have taken an hour by car, but he only spent ten minutes running wildly with his legs so that he could rush here in time. What a waste that he was still too late though. He witnessed Hank and Grant sacrificing themselves with his own eyes earlier and even heard their speech. Their pledge of being the souls of the Insurgent Trifecta in the afterlife and members of the Insurgent Trifecta in their next lives pierced his heart deeply and moved him!He felt the meaning and weight of the words ‘the Insurgent Trifecta’ for the very first time!He exerted himself to move at the fastest speed without considering the rapid exhaustion of his physical strength. He traveled close to the speed of sound in the end and charged over by constantly tearing the air apart. Alas, he still did not manage to save Hank and Grant in time!The human body was so large that traveling close to the speed of sound w
In the next moment, a gush of presence that was so powerful it could topple the mountains and overturn the seas burst forth from his body. His energy was so strong that it spread toward the surroundings like solid matter. Everyone could feel it, and they could not help taking two steps back. All at once, Satan and the Scarlet Witch had the most obvious reaction out of everyone. Their expressions changed drastically and they let out panicked screams. “This feels like a 4S-class transhuman!”“Oh, God, the Rheasian special agent is a 4S-class powerhouse!”At a nearby area, The Fool was instantly stunned after sensing Zayn’s presence. In the next moment, Zayn cast his gaze toward The Fool. It only took him a glance before The Fool felt like his brain had erupted with a loud boom while a monstrous wave was stirred in his mind!There was only one thought left in his consciousness: ‘A 4S-class super powerhouse is an extremely rare being even across the entire universe!’The rest of the
Run! Run! Run!He exerted all his strength to escape!No one else could have experienced the shock and terror that The Fool felt at this very moment!He had already prepared himself for the assassination mission this time and ensured that nothing could go wrong. Even if there was a 3S-class transhuman, he could guarantee that he could complete the mission and capture Marissa alive. Alas, he never expected that the person assigned to the mission would actually be a 4S-class super powerhouse!Oh, bugger! The Fool could not make peace with that. How did this happen? It was a trivial matter that he could not complete the mission, but it would be catastrophic if he were to lose his life here accidentally. It had been very hard for him to train himself to become a 3S-class transhuman, after all. While he was filled with regret at this very moment, he felt even more terrified and confused. The Insurgent Trifecta was just an abject organization in Rheasia, and many of their transhumans h
Marissa was thoroughly stunned. She had never imagined that events would take such a turn.The rest of the assassins recovered soon enough, though they were still too panicked to make any sudden moves. All they could do was exchange glances with one another as they stomached the air gelled in awkwardness.All of her bodyguards were gone. Marissa was alone, as vulnerable as a lamb off to the slaughterhouse. She had no way of defending herself, and if any of them wanted, they could kidnap Marissa right then and there!Though, something was stopping them. The Fool, the brightest and boldest out of all of them, had been rendered defenseless. He was forced to flee after going up against that Rheasian agent—what other choice did they really have?The rest of the assassins were confused and worried. They shot each other worried looks before they broke into discussion. They wondered if they should back off or fight for a narrow, but hefty profit. Some decided to flee, others wanted to try
Zayn turned to her with the same nonchalance in his eyes.Marissa felt her heart racing. It was a strange change—she had known Zayn for at least a week now, and had seen him for all seven of the days. It never really registered in her mind, and even when she did notice him, she regarded him with contempt. Zayn was just a nondescript agent sent to protect her. The schism of status between them was as wide as the gap between a princess and a peasant.All of that was gone. On the contrary, it was her turn to be nervous and uneasy in his presence. Her erstwhile haughtiness and self-importance had escaped her like a puff of smoke.Zayn’s performance had blown her mind. He was not just any normal agent—he was a 4S-class superhuman powerhouse! She might be a hapless outsider when it came to powers like these, but she was aware of the significance of the ranks. 4S-class legends were those at the very apex of the human classes. They were the elites who were above the shackles of wealth. Anyo
Marissa was very shaken. Zayn’s aura was so imposing that he was even more intimidating than her own father. He was a god amongst men.Hence, when she raised her head and realized that Zayn had put off teaching her lesson, she let out a sigh of relief. Gritting her teeth and steeling herself, she approached him once more, murmuring sheepishly, “I know it’s my fault. I was too reckless. I didn’t heed your warning… I won’t ever act this recklessly ever again. Please… Don’t be mad at me.”“‘Don’t be mad at you’?!”The dying flame within Zayn’s chest roared back into life. Her words were like a bucket of gasoline. As the fire sputtered violently in his chest, he turned around to face her, smirking. “Yesterday, I told you multiple times that there were assassins after your life, Marissa! You weren’t supposed to have your stupid sight-seeing trips, because you’ll be giving them a chance! But what did you do? You didn’t listen, and you found a way to dump me while bringing your oh-so-power
To be pushed away—or more accurately, to be completely put behind an invisible wall—by Zayn like that pushed Marissa’s button. One could call her what they wanted, but she was still going to be the precious daughter of a Eurosian financial empire, a princess of the wealthy class with money that rivalled a small country’s GDP, and a woman so physically and aesthetically-endowed that not even lingerie models could compete against her charms. How many men did she have wrapped around her finger? How many times had her stunning beauty intoxicated half the males on planet Earth?However, here before her stood a Rheasian man who was completely impervious to her spellbinding beauty, and remained antipathic to her no matter what she did. That adversarial attitude was egging the pride that nestled deep behind her guile. Her temper had reached its boiling point.“Oy, Rheasian man! Or are you not a man at all? I apologized, alright? What will it take to make you forgive me?” she snapped.Her pe
