Agatha was so startled, her phone slipped out of her fingers. Zayn was quick enough to catch it, fortunately, so he swiped it before it hit the ground and returned it to her.No one would have faulted her for her reaction—the intrusion was that sudden. A coffin was heavy enough to see it basically sailing through the air before landing right by Luke’s feet—among the crater its fall created, to boot. Had Luke’s reflexes failed him, the flying coffin could have smacked him right on his face and injured him!As it turned out, the coffin’s momentum was far from over. It ricocheted from where it landed and continued its forward onslaught. Fortunately, Luke, being a superior class fighter, had the speed and strength to stop it dead on its tracks with his own hands, therefore inadvertently saving many of the attendees around him.Whatever force driving the coffin was clearly superhuman. The impact spread through his innards like a wayward tide. He felt nauseated before spitting out a mouth
A dozen more stood behind him, all of them apparently expert pugilists. Among them, the one standing at the right was a stony-faced man clad in a vintage trench coat and leather shoes.The pugilist in question looked deceptively normal at first glance, but the more one scrutinized him, the more he unsettled them. He was like a man-shaped black hole, a tear in space that drew everyone’s attention into it until all there was left of the onlookers were the chills in their stomach.Now that was a superior class tier-3 fighter, Zayn realized. Trench Coat Man’s battle prowess could give Dick Cheney a run for his money—which was a big deal in and of itself. Superior fighters were, generally, a rare breed among humans simply because it was hard for a normal fighter to ever get here. After all, not everyone was lucky enough to be a once-in-a-million-years genius like Zayn.“You! Syrus f**king Wright!”Just the sight of that man caused Luke to erupt in a burst of malice, dyeing his cheeks a
Zayn did not step forward immediately but chose to wait and observe. He wanted to see how Luke would manage this. As he was confronted by Luke’s anger, Syrus’ expression was filled with glee and joy. He loathed Luke to his bones because no thanks to the latter, over the past few years, he had constantly gotten into trouble. In fact, his biological son was in jail because of Luke’s doing. At present, they were bound by a blood feud. However, Luke had been an acquired fighter for a long time and had always struggled to become a master fighter. As a result, Syrus constantly had the upper hand in his battles with Luke, and he ended up seizing a large number of Luke’s resources. Just as he was about to deliver a fatal blow and take over Luke’s business empire at one go, for some unknown reason, the moron Luke actually made a breakthrough in his training and became a master fighter!Moreover, Luke was rather powerful, and his previous abjectness was swept clean. Luke was so quick an
Luke’s eyes were widened so much from anger, and he could feel that his chest was about to explode from rage!It was his 50th birthday tonight, and he had invited so many guests to his party. As a result, Syrus actually had to gall to come and ruin his party like this. If he was not infuriated by this, he would not be deemed human at all. “You m*th*rf*ck*r, Syrus. You’re dead!” Luke’s senses vanished because he was blinded by anger. The raging fire in his heart seemed like it could burn everything in this world down. Soon after he uttered those words, bodyguards dressed in black emerged from all corners of the manor immediately and surrounded Syrus and the others. Every single one of these bodyguards in black was retired from the professional special forces. They held their weapons in their hands as they eyed Syrus in hostility, posing a huge threat to him. Yet, Syrus was so unfazed by these bodyguards in black that he could not be bothered to blink. On the contrary, he cracke
Syrus was extremely tyrannical now, looking just like Ares. No one had the courage to look him in the eyes as his gaze swept past them. They lowered their heads in succession and shuddered in fear. For these ordinary people, they were incapable of withstanding the overbearing presence of a second-tier master fighter!They stood on the same spot and did not have the courage to leave anymore after being threatened by Syrus. Syrus was very pleased with his overbearingness. It made him feel like he was omnipotent. So what if these people at the scene were wealthy tycoons? They were still nobodies and no one had the courage to disobey him!He was here to proclaim his sovereignty today. He wanted to cripple Luke so that he could dive straight into Luke’s estate and seize it and become the mogul of Tael City. He had absolute confidence that he would be able to defeat Luke because the latter had already fallen behind him completely. Furthermore, he had a few third-tier master fighters
“Have you met this supreme powerhouse standing next to me? This is Felix Shapiro, and he’s a third-tier master fighter. His moniker is ‘Flying Thunder’. With Mr. Shapiro’s help, I’ve already made a breakthrough in my training, so I’ll be able to torture you like I’m gutting a dog.” Syrus took two steps forward and made a throat-slitting gesture while he told Luke with a sneer, “Moron Jones, your good day is upon you. Today is going to be your death day!”When he uttered the words ‘death day’, he said it with a sonorous and forceful voice. It sounded like God's decree, and he said it with the assurance that he was a man of his word who would ensure Luke’s doom. “What? Felix ‘Flying Thunder’ Shapiro?” Luke’s pupils dilated abruptly. He looked toward the man standing next to Syrus. He felt a shiver run down his spine and his feet turned cold when he saw the man. He had heard about Felix’s impressive reputation and knew just how ruthless he was. Even if Luke was already a master fighter
“Z-Z-Zayn… Zayn Larson!” Felix shouted in shock. Based on his gaze and his reaction, he seemed as if he had seen a ghost. His face turned pale in fear. He never expected that Zayn would appear here because he had been among those who had attempted to acquire the Aeon Karpos on Mount Leo the other day. He had witnessed Zayn’s magnificent feat of seizing the ambrosia fruit by force then fleeing successfully under the siege of more than 40 master fighters!Moreover, Zayn even managed to beat up a number of master fighters to death as he fled.Zayn was definitely a powerhouse. Even though Felix was confident in his abilities and was the most powerful man in his circle, he would never have the courage to behave ostentatiously in Zayn’s presence because the man was truly powerful. He was way below Zayn’s par! He clearly knew his place.The crucial part was that Zayn was supposedly already dead. He had been killed by Ezra in the end—the ever-ferocious Ezra who was a perfect-class master
Felix confirmed the news because he had witnessed Zayn being pursued by a perfect-class master fighter powerhouse on Mount Leo before the latter was killed in an explosion. After all, Felix had been there the other day too. However, now that Zayn had actually appeared before him without a scratch on his body, it was utterly impossible!Agatha also covered her mouth in surprise in a corner. Extremely agitated, her heart was racing. Having lived for over 20 years, she had never experienced such a drastic change of event in her life or such emotional turmoil like today. Her mind was filled with Zayn’s silhouette now. Zayn lowered his head to look at Felix and said nonchalantly, “Were you there on Mount Leo the other day too?”Felix said in a haste, “Yes, sir, Mr. Larson. I was coincidentally on Mount Leo the other day, so I was lucky enough to feast my eyes on your unparalleled heroism! From that day on, I was deeply shocked by you, and I regard you as my idol in my heart! It’s re
