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
Frankly, Zayn was not interested in a nobody like him. Moreover, Syrus was Luke’s old enemy, so he naturally would not kill the loathsome man with his own hands. He said to Luke straightforwardly, “I’ll hand him over to you, Luke.”Luke nodded strenuously and his eyes turned bloodshot!Then, he walked over in long strides. He had been waiting for this day for far too long, and now, the day had finally arrived. He felt like he could explode with joy!Despite his temperament, after experiencing so many turmoils and hardships in life, he could not help feeling a huge surge of emotions at this very moment and teared up. To him, Syrus was his biggest enemy in his life and also the man that he loathed the most. He hated Syrus deep to his bones. He wished that he could chew on Syrus’ flesh, gnaw on his bones and drink his blood!He was supposed to have a happy family, but that utopian dream was destroyed by Syrus. Syrus had been one-upping him all the time over the years and rendere
On the side, Felix’s brow twitched twice. While he yielded to Zayn, it did not signify that he would follow Luke’s orders. In his perception, Luke was just a nobody to him. Hence, he was immediately displeased when Luke ordered him in this manner. Nevertheless, in the next second, a single remark from Zayn sent a shiver down his spine, and he did not have the courage not to obey anymore. “I’m taking your life to compensate for Syrus’ if he flees.”Felix was scared out of his wits, so how would he have the courage to procrastinate anymore? He hastily made a move to attack by charging toward Syrus. “Your life is mine to take, Syrus!”Syrus’ pupils constricted instantly, and he was extremely terrified. He was well aware of Felix’s power. He would not stand a chance resisting Felix as soon as he attacked!“Mr. Shapiro…” he hastily called out aloud then abruptly turned around to flee.However, he was just a normal fighter who had recently advanced to become a second-tier master figh
Luke shouted loud and clear with unprecedented solemness and earnestness. Zayn could not help changing his countenance upon hearing Luke’s pledge. Frankly, Zayn did not have much of a memorable impression of Luke because the latter was just a small fry to him. Even if Luke was successful in business, he was just a commoner as long as he was not a master fighter. Afterward, Luke made a breakthrough in his training to become a master fighter together with Zayn’s help. Later on, albeit him pledging his allegiance to Zayn, Zayn still did not pay much attention to him. It was only until now when Zayn witnessed Luke’s performance tonight that he was visibly moved by the disillusionment of Luke’s eyes after experiencing many vicissitudes of life and the deep gratitude in his gaze. “Very well!” Zayn let out a burst of laughter before he personally helped Luke to stand upright. He said in all apparent seriousness, “Luke, I shall share my prosperity with you, and I won’t ever treat you s
Agatha’s emotions could not be pacified after all this time. She had never been as agitated as she was today. On the way back, she could not refrain from peeking at Zayn’s face. Every time she saw the side of Zayn’s well-chiseled face, her heart raced beyond her control.Although Zayn was driving, he could see Agatha’s reaction naturally, so he said in a slightly perplexed tone, “Miss Rouge, is there a smudge on my face?”“Huh?” Agatha was startled by Zayn’s sudden eye contact, so she hastily said, “No! There isn’t anything!”She hurriedly lowered her head, her entire face blushing scarlet to her surprise. Noticing her reaction, Zayn forced a smile and said, “Miss Rouge, I bet what transpired tonight scared you. I’m sorry ‘bout that.”Realizing that he had misunderstood, Agatha shook her head immediately and said, “No, it’s just that… just that I…”“Just that you’ve never been in this situation before, is that right?” he finished with a smile. Agatha raised her head to take a
