“Three.” Zayn finished counting while a very defiant Marissa remained tight-lipped.“You asked for this,” he sneered before grabbing Marissa around her waist and hoisting her up as he headed for a nearby chair.The young woman screamed and wriggled in his arms, panicking. “Put me down, Rheasian man! What do you think you’re doing?! I’m not just anyone—I’m Marissa Bell, a guest in your country! Stop the savagely… thing that you’re doing!”Zayn was not going to buy any of her threats, because he had made up his mind about teaching the girl a lesson. At the very least, she needed to be punished for the deaths of Hank and Grant!He forcefully dragged the chair towards him with his free hand and sat, placing the young woman’s body on his lap. “Last chance, Marissa. Apologize.”Marissa panicked. As the precious daughter of a powerful business mogul who grew up in excessive luxury and adulation, the young woman was unaccustomed to being treated so boorishly or ever being forced into such
“Uh-hem,” Zayn began awkwardly. One could already tell that there was a misunderstanding afoot.He hurriedly offered, “Alright, look, it’s not what you think.”And right after that, Marissa let out a moan from on top of his lap.The accusatory look of confusion from Liam, Dick, and the rest of them intensified. They gaped at him as though they were looking at an animal.Zayn felt tingles crawling all over his head. ‘Guys, this isn’t what it looks like!’Never had the thought ever cross his mind that Marissa would let out such an annoyingly audible and suggestive moan. What the hell was that supposed to mean? Was she actually a masochist? He might have held back from using his true strength, but it should have still hurt quite badly!Marissa froze as soon as the moan escaped her lips, too. Her face turned into a flustering scarlet. Shame—she felt so ashamed of herself! How could she have let something like that escape her throat?! She had never been so brutishly violated before, b
After a mutual salute, Zayn reported darkly, “We were the assassins’ attacks. I’m the only one who survived—comrade Hank and Grant have died.”Zayn proceeded to recount everything that had happened up until then, which was received by the group’s darkening, sombering miens. Any sense of comical jocularity they harbored prior to the report had evaporated.They scanned the carnage around them. Their eyes swept across the assassins’ bodies, Marissa bodyguards, and finally, the lifeless, cold corpses that belonged to Hank and Grant. They were red in the face.Zayn felt terrible watching their reactions. He had grown accustomed to being a cavalier man with no attachments. He might have endured a rather terrible past, but the only pain of loss he had ever felt was over his parents’ death when he was a young boy. Since then, he had never experienced any encounters of death with those close to him. He definitely did not witness their deaths in such a gruelling manner either.He hated the f
Zayn stared at her nonchalantly. “My mission is completed. It’s time for me to go home.”“No, you can’t! You’re supposed to keep me safe! I… I’m still in danger! You can’t abandon me just yet!”Liam, Dick, and the rest watched the budding exchange between the two, and took notice of the anxiety etched on Marissa’s face. It was completely antagonistic to her normal demeanor to be so worried and impassioned, so it was only a matter of seconds before cocked brows and suggestive smiles shadowed their faces.They were certain that something salacious had happened between them!“There will be other agents to fill my role.”Seeing Zayn was about to leave again alarmed Marissa even more. It was an unprecedented feeling—one not born out of her sudden timidity, but because she was on foreign land. It did not help that all of her bodyguards were dead either. Plus, Captain Horton, the man she had relied so heavily upon, had lost all of his powers as well.Of course, she was also utterly mesm
As they were speaking in Rheasian, Marissa found herself excluded from the conversation. She stared at the men talking amongst themselves, eyes wide with confusion.Liam and the rest of the group froze. Before they could offer any form of response, Zayn chimed in, “Well, that’s about it. There aren't going to be any more assassins coming for her life, so just deploy any other agent to take over from here; she’ll be fine. I’m out.”And that was it. He vanished into thin air, as if he had teleported away and into the vegetation that surrounded them.Marissa had watched him slip through the cracks of her hand. She found herself left with no choice but to stomp her feet in embarrassed indignance.…Zayn was finally heading home. It felt great to be back.Before he knew it, he had been gone for half a month—his longest time being separated from Faye ever. He had never yearned for her so much before, ever!Absence made the heart grow fonder, and Zayn was certain that he was fonder tha
“What kind of party, exactly?” Zayn questioned once more.“I’m not sure,”” Faye replied, “Jane didn’t exactly say. All she told me was that, ‘It’s going to be quite the experience’, and that it’s tomorrow night.”“Are you… close with her at all?”Faye considered the solemness in his complexion and chuckled. “God, Zayn, what’s with the seriousness? Are you worried that Jane’s out to get me?”“That’s not what I meant,” he explained. “I just thought it wouldn’t kill to be a little more prudent.”Faye grabbed his hand and laced their fingers together. “Don’t fret, sweetie. I’ve known Jane since elementary school. She’s from a good family, and she’s decently well-off. She’s always been an upstanding, highly-motivated kind of girl. Now, she’s founded a company with her husband on a completely legal trade. She’s not gonna hurt me.”Zayn nodded as he listened. If that was what Faye thought, then he supposed he did not need to interrogate her any further. He could just call Sean when he w
All of a sudden, Zayn realized that something was off. He sat upright abruptly, clutching Faye’s shoulder as he stared at Faye with his sharp eyes. He asked, “Tell me, Fifi, is something going on, is anybody threatening you?”At that very moment, Zayn exuded an intense aura from his body that was as deep as the abyss. His presence spread through the entire room and caused the ambience to shift into one of a colosseum’s. It was very terrifying. Faye’s mind went blank instantly and she was panting for breath!Zayn hastily retracted his terrifying presence and wrapped his arms around Faye. He said, “Fifi, what’s going on? Did someone from Sicut In Caelo come look for you?”Zayn clenched his teeth. He was absolutely fuming. His expression was filled with bloodthirst. He was currently under the assumption that people from Sicut In Caelo had come looking for Faye. They had likely threatened Faye, and that was why Faye made the disconcerting remark!As a couple who had been married for
Zayn was unaware of it at all. Faye had already returned to her normal self by the time Zayn was done taking the shower. She took a shower as well so she could wash away any traces of the previous Faye; she was back! Even the ever-sensitive Zayn could not tell the difference.It did not take long before Waine and Ruby had returned home. They were very delighted to see Zayn home. They made sure to catch up with Zayn, and it was especially important because it had been a while.They had already lost any ill feelings they had towards Zayn, and treated Zayn like their precious son-in-law. In fact, they treated Zayn better than Faye sometimes. There were a few occasions where Faye was a little jealous of Zayn. After learning that Zayn was coming back, Ruby and Waine headed to the farmer’s market to pick out many of Zayn's favorite ingredients so that they could cook him a scrumptious dinner feast. Zayn enjoyed the feeling of warmth and happiness very much. The feeling was so powerful
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
