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
However, Zayn noticed that something was off. There were two small trees that grew on each side of Luke’s manor. The trees were planted rather strategically. If one were to view the manor as the eagle’s head, the two small trees could be seen as two nails that were protruding from either side of the eagle’s head!Even though the two nails were tiny in comparison to the size of the manor, they would grow taller and bigger in due time. It would also be an eyesore once they grew big enough, and they would definitely ruin the feng shui of the manor. It would siphon all of the peacefulness the manor radiated, sucking it dry! It would definitely be a time of adversity when it came down to it.Zayn discovered that there were a few trees that had withered leaves in the manor. The surrounding vegetation was dull and lifeless, a complete contrast to what the plants should normally look like during the season.Zayn immediately realized that Luke was likely to suffer a terrible misfortune tonig
Jim Lawrence was furious. Actually, he was livid!It was Luke Jones’ big day; his immediate superior! It was an extremely grand, but also very important event. He was the organizer of tonight’s party, so there was absolutely no room for error.He had lost count of the amount of time he had spent to prepare for tonight’s party. It was all to ensure that tonight would be a smashing success and that nothing would ruin Luke’s special day. It was his ticket to getting promoted and getting on Luke’s good side!On the other hand, some lowlife had actually snuck into the party. If Luke found out about the incident—and if the intruder’s presence completely soured Luke’s mood—he would be in for some serious consequences!Once the security guards had received the order, they quickly advanced towards Zayn to escort him out of the venue.Jared stepped forwards to stop them. “Hold on! You can’t take him away!”Jim furrowed his brows and glared at Jared, displeased. “Jared, what are you trying
It did not take him long to discover Luke’s location. There was only one master fighter present at the scene, and it was Luke Jones. Other than that, the vast majority of the attendants were simply ordinary people. “It’s been about half a year since he started his training, yet Luke still hasn’t made any significant strides, huh? He’s still a Tier-1 master fighter,” said Zayn in a slightly displeased tone after calibrating Luke’s power. He remembered how he was on the verge of becoming a Tier-2 master fighter back when they last spoke.Frankly, he was being too hard on Luke. The vast majority of fighters required at least five years of training to become a Tier-2 master fighter. It could be said that it was extremely rare for someone to make a breakthrough within only a few short months. For Luke’s sake, Zayn took the time to do a background check on all of the party’s attendees. Fortunately, there were no hostiles, nor people who posed a threat to Luke. It looked like the waters
