Zayn felt upset and dejected in his heart. He felt as if he was drenched in a bucket of ice water while the excitement he felt earlier vanished into nothingness. It had only been a little over half a month, so why did Faye sell the house?Furthermore, they had shared memories in the house. The middle-aged man looked at him cautiously and asked in a soft voice, “Sir, are you the previous owner of this house?”Zayn nodded. He suddenly remembered something, so he walked into the house with long strides. “Yikes, you’re not allowed to come一”The man had just spoken when Zayn immediately glared at him. He was rendered speechless at once, so he quickly shook his head and said, “Go ahead, go ahead. Come in if you wish.”Zayn could not be bothered with the man. He marched into the house right away.Upon entering the house, he noticed that everything was left intact. He could see the familiar furniture and smell the familiar scents…He could almost remember everything that happened h
Zayn did not waste any more time with them. If there was something he knew for sure, it was that buying back that house was not going to be as simple as he would have liked.He gave Luke a call. Time to let his underlings handle this. Zayn had far more pressing issues, anyway—he had to find Faye.No way in hell was he going to accept a reality where Faye was gone from him.Immediately after arriving at the real estate department, Zayn’s question sprung out of his lips without any visible pause: why did Faye sell the house?The receptionist’s answer shocked Zayn. In fact, it prompted him to echo aloud in disbelief, “You’re telling me… my wife sold the villa on her own accord?”“Well, Mr. Larson, she’s the owner of the property, isn’t she? Hence, she sold the house ten days ago.”“Do you know why she did that?”The receptionists leveled a strange look at him. “You’re pulling our legs, right, Mr. Larson? You are Miss Faye’s husband, aren’t you? Do you not have the slightest inkling
“Mr. Meyers, could you please give us just a bit more time to, uh, prepare the amount?” George begged, his tone as submissive as a servant. “You see, we—”Mr. Meyers did not even let him finish. “Coffee, Mr. Carter?” he asked with a blithe grin, pouring George a cup as though he was the host welcoming his guest with full hospitality.George’s high-strung nerves were not the least assuaged. The young man before him was overwhelming him with an ominous, stressful aura that drinking coffee felt like a discordant distraction. Hurriedly, he restated his plea with much more emphasis, “Please, Mr. Meyers. We are humble folks. We just need a bit more time—”He abruptly let out an ear-splitting scream when Mr. Meyers doused the old man’s face right out from a cup, point-blank. It would have damaged George’s eyes if he did not manage to shut his eyes out of instinct.George was old—too old for such an abuse. The sudden movement caused him to fall out of his chair and tumble to the floor.He
As soon as his words left the air, Micah tapped the floor with one foot.In a snap, the tile beneath him began to crack. A jagged line snaked from where he stood and reached under the table close to the family, before bang! The table split in half.The Carters were normal people. They were not accustomed to seeing anything quite like this, so unsurprisingly, their only reaction was to quake in terror.Putting out whatever fight there was in these unwashed folks could not have been easier for a superior-class third-tier fighter like Micah.George struggled but finally managed to get back to his feet. His cheeks were red, the searing pain still stinging—it was distress he had ever experienced before even with a life lived this long. “Please, Mr. Meyers, I’m sure you’ve researched the nitty-gritty about our family long before you showed up here. We’re that dirt-poor, sir. You could kill us all right now, and still won’t find anything that could clear that debt,” he stated. “Neontech h
Micah had always been quite the poster child for hubris. He grew up lavished with praise of his ingenuity, and almost as though proving it, he achieved the superior class when he was merely 28. It had been such a glamorous moment—particularly since he outshined all of his peers with this single feat alone.He was 35 this year, and already he had reached the third tier of the superior class. He got there so quickly that it was almost impossible to believe, and so everyone—from his masters to his peers and inferiors—thought the world of him.Meanwhile, he thought he was more than that—he thought he was the most radiantly talented this world would ever see. He was sure he could reach the perfect class one day, and even come close to the mystical Invincibilis. It was not impossible if he was the one going for it.All that feeling of uniqueness went out of the window the moment Zayn appeared like the sun with its infuriatingly blazing glory dwarfing whatever brilliance Micah had had. He
“You can’t get down on your knees, Dad! The pride of the Carter family… The moment you fall down to your knees is the moment we Carters lose our dignity!”“Listen to him, Grandpa! You can’t seriously get on your knees! If someone has to kneel, let it be us young’uns!”The Carters began to beg their grandpa to do otherwise. While they sounded indignant and aggressive a few minutes ago, right now, the family’s stance had weakened.The furor went on for long enough that George fixed them with a glare before thundering with a majestic air befitting the patriarch of the family, “Quiet down, all of you!”His eyes registered the agony on the family’s faces, and he felt his heart twisting in equal amounts of pain. He could not help but soften his tone when he added, “My fellow Carters! The future of the family is in your hands. Think about Zayn. He started out as a normal person too. Then, he grew and became so much better until…”George’s mind wandered back to the past as the pang stung
By now, Micah had finally unveiled his evil intention. He used all sorts of tricks to nibble at the Carters’ territory during this period of time. He had found out everything he could with the Carters, so he was well aware that they were already at the end of their rope. Let alone 100 million dollars, they would not even be able to pay 92 thousand dollars. Hence, the main goal of Micah’s visit today was Faye.He had heard about Faye’s reputation from the start and knew that she was the prettiest girl in Waltz City and also Zayn’s wife. He loathed Zayn, and now that the prick was dead, he would not let this opportunity slip by naturally. Frankly, he tried to search for Faye during this period of time too. However, she disappeared out of nowhere, and he did not have the ability to locate her in view of his current influence. However, he refused to believe that the Carters had no idea about Faye’s whereabouts. How delightful it would be for her if he could catch hold of her?
When the final ten seconds remained, he aged so much as if God had just extracted the wee smidge of life that still remained in his body. “Three.”“Two.”“One.”“One minute has passed. Well, Georgie, what’s your decision?” Micah looked at George mischievously. His gaze was filled with intimidation. If George still refused to cooperate, he would begin his slaughter!George clenched his fists. He had just one more breath left in him now. He made a huge decision then raised his head to look at Micah. “Mr. Meyer, I shall transfer the ownership of my house to you, and you should be able to sell it for a few million dollars. Also, I have life insurance that will grant 15 million dollars in my accidental death. This is already all the money that my family can pay up, and we’re giving it all to you. I’m begging you to show mercy and let our family go. Is that alright?”It could be said that George’s action now was equal to him letting down all his dignity and honor. He pleaded endlessly
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
