After shining his shoes, Jared looked up and bemoaned, “Why are you people just standing there? Where’s my coffee?”The corner of Claude’s lips twitched in annoyance, but even if he were chafed by the man’s attitude, he did not show. “Right. I’ll brew you one right away.”Agatha’s patience was at its end. Irritated, she stepped out and took a stand. “Hey, Jared. Will it kill you to act a little more like a civilized gentleman than a boor? Did your parents abandon you in the woods or what?”Jared’s expression darkened. Shooting her a glare, he snarled, “What did you say, Agatha sweetie? I didn’t hear it the first time.”His ire was raised, alright—that much was evident from how ugly his expression had become. It was enough to deflate some of Agatha’s initial bravado, but her annoyance was still sky-high. What a self-centered, uncultured troglodyte!Claude saw the tension between them and quickly leapt to the rescue. “Come on, Jay, don’t get all mad now. She didn’t mean it seriously
Agatha was exasperated. She loathed Jared very much since she was a child!Not that she was jealous of Jared but Jared had been bullying her all the time since she was young and he had never treated her like she was his cousin. She went to middle school in Guineve where she took residence in Jared’s home temporarily. At the time, Jared was always bullying her and made life very difficult for her. In fact, Jared had even joined hands with other boys to bully her at the peak of his bully period. Had she not been intelligent at the time and responded swiftly, she would have already been raped by those boys at the time!A man like Jared did not understand the concept of family affection and both his mind and character were twisted. During the recent two years, Jared hit the jackpot by successfully latching on to a big shot. He became very popular and he made a great fortune which resulted in him being extremely self-conceited now. He behaved as if he was the best in the world while t
After he was done showing off, Jared began to say, “Uncle, your way of handling this matter has ruined the reputation of our family…”Jared reproved Claude for a good while before he changed his tone and said, “However, I won’t lower myself to your level out of respect for you. I’m here today to offer my assistance to you. How dare the lad Rugal bullies my family members like this, he is obviously not showing respect to me, hmph!”As he was speaking, he exuded domineeringness and his gaze was fierce. In his imagination, he was awe-inspiring. However, he had no idea that he was on a completely different level as compared to Zayn’s performance earlier. As a result, the Rouge family members did not react much. On the contrary, they found him to be weak and pretentious. Jared was waiting for the Rouge family members to praise and admire him. He waited for a long while before he realized that the Rouge family members were looking at him nonchalantly without any positive reaction. He w
Claude forgot that it had already been a long time since he stood up to Jared. He felt elated to see how Jared was forced to acknowledge his defeat now such that he was standing straight as if he had just regained the strong morale of his younger days. On the other hand, Jared was displeased. His lips twitched a few times beyond his control!It had already been a very long time since Claude stood up to him. In his eyes, the Rouge family members were all insignificant people who were on a completely different level from him, including Agatha. He felt like he was the ruler while the Rouge family members were all commoners! Claude’s action of standing up to him was basically provoking him. If this were the past, Claude was punishable by beheading. He firmly believed that there was no equality amongst people but people were divided into different categories. He was a high class person while the Rouge family members were low class people. However, he knew Claude very well and knew th
He was furious in the beginning and assumed that the Rouge family was messing with him. It was obvious that they were opposing him by passing off an ordinary person as a big shot! However, he changed his point of view soon and figured that the Rouge family would not have the courage to do so. In addition, the incident of Claude offending Rugal was not made up either. Hence, he thought of a possibility at once. It was that Claude was not fooling him but Claude and the Rouge family were fooled by someone. “Hah-hah-hah-hah…” At the thought of this, he immediately burst out laughing aloud. He could see that Zayn was dressed in a flea market attire that was tattered even. Zayn was as abject as he could be and it was obvious that Zayn was a lowly privileged member of the society. Zayn could not even be considered an insignificant person but he was just an ant. On the other hand, it would be a joke to claim that this man was the big shot who had actually defeated Rugal completely and ma
Upon hearing that, Zayn was stunned for a moment. Luke would be throwing a 50th birthday celebration party tomorrow night? That was rather interesting. Noticing that Zayn did not speak, Jared assumed that Zayn was scared. He immediately mocked Zayn by saying, “Why, are you scared? I thought you were still very arrogant earlier, join me to attend Mr. Jones’ 50th birthday party tomorrow night if you have the balls!”Zayn could not be bothered to pay attention to a clown like Jared. He was still recovering from the ordeal now so he was not planning on returning to Waltz City before he made a breakthrough to become a perfect-class master fighter because he would only put the people around him in danger. On the other hand, he had no such concerns if he were to stay in Tael City. He did not have a penny on him now so it was an issue for him to manage the basic necessities of his life. It would be inappropriate for him to stay at Agatha’s place as well. The best way to solve this probl
Agatha bit her lower lip as she walked over and said, “Mr. Larson, why did you fall for Jared’s trap, huh? Luke Jones is the wealthiest man in Tael City. He’s highly influential, so you can’t afford to offend him!”Claude said in a haste, “That’s right, Mr. Larson. It’s not something to joke about! Luke is so terrifying that even the mayor is afraid of him! In my opinion, stay away from tomorrow’s party. Jared is narrow minded and calculative. He’ll fuss over every little detail. If you go with him you’re going to end up in a bad place!”A few of the Rouge family members tried to persuade Zayn. They were all kindhearted people, so they could not just stand around and watch Zayn land himself in hot water. It was the least they could do after he saved them today. Yes—in their opinion, Zayn was asking for trouble by attending that party with Jared.Sensing their concern and care, Zayn felt warm and fuzzy inside. He confidently assured them that he would be fine. Realizing Zayn’s de
“Hah-hah, I thought you were impressive, but you don’t have any respect for Mr. Luke, do you? Huh, why are you only wearing a Nike top? If you’re so awesome, why can’t you afford a branded suit?” Jared said with a mocking expression, “You just wear something like that to Mr. Jones’ 50th birthday party, you know that, right?”He was still a little worried that Zayn was only pretending to be poor and useless, only for him to actually be rich and powerful. However, he was now completely free of any doubt he had. He was certain that Zayn was just a swindler who managed to fool the Rouge family. “Why does a big shot have to wear a lavish suit and cover themselves in branded goods? What’s your take on that?” asked Zayn. Jared burst out laughing and said, “A person who’s all dressed up doesn’t necessarily have to be a big shot, but I’m pretty sure a big shot is never as underdressed as you are. Besides, you can’t even afford proper attire!”Agatha immediately refuted, “Who said he can’t
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
