Zayn was extremely vexed. Even though Violet Vision Media Corp was not worth much money, it was a company that he had built from the ground up. It was the fruit of his hardwork and continuous effort. He had a special bond with the company. He had only been gone for half a month, yet it had already been taken over by vile black hats. He could not suppress the anger that boiled within him, no matter how mild-tempered he was. Zayn suddenly remembered something and asked, “Do you know where Mr. Wilson is then?”As soon as the question was sounded, the others instantly fell silent. In fact, they even lowered their heads.Zayn felt his heart skip a beat when he noticed the change in ambience. He said, “Did something bad happen to Mr. Wilson? Skylar, tell me.”Skylar trembled slightly when Zayn said her name. She did not have the courage to hide anymore, instead hastily replying, “Mr. Larson, if I were to be frank, Mr. Wilson is still a part of the company.”Zayn was not very surprised
When Sean’s shrieking had finally died down, he frantically began to shake his head. He could not believe what was happening. He muttered to himself, “Hallucinations—I must be hallucinating. Mr. Larson is dead, Mr. Larson is dead...”Zayn felt slightly hurt by Sean’s denial, though it was followed by an unbearable surge of fury!“Sean, it’s me. I’m not dead.” Zayn walked over and helped Sean to his feet. When Sean was able to touch Zayn, he heaved a sigh of relief. It was comforting knowing that he had not lost his mind. His eyes were as wide as saucers. Exhilaration was coursing through his veins. “Hah-hah-hah! Mr. Larson! It really is you—you’re finally back! That’s great, that’s really great! I knew that you’re certainly going to be fine because you’re a blessed man, Mr. Larson! Hah-hah-hah! They’re all vile, shameless people! When the cat’s away, the mice will play! Those filthy pigs took advantage of the situation and stole all of your properties while you were gone. They want
Moreover, Zayn was dead after being attacked by over 40 master fighters in addition to the pursuit of a perfect-class master fighter! If Zayn could survive under such perilous circumstances, what did that mean for them… Kayden did not have the courage to think about it too much. He refused to believe that Zayn was back. Kayden berated Olive for a while. She was confused. Was that young man from earlier lying? Perhaps she had misheard him?“Sir, he claimed that he was Zayn Larson. He’s very self-conceited…” Olive narrated the incident from start to finish. She treaded carefully with her words, “Sir, why don’t we call the police? I can see that it won’t be easy to deal with that lad.”Olive felt guilty for saying that. It was inevitable because she was scared by Zayn’s terrifying appearance earlier and she could still feel lingering fear in her heart. Kayden let out a grunt in contempt and said, “What’s the point of calling the police, huh! Hmph! I’d like see who the heck is this c
In fact, he could not even speak now. His entire body was trembling profusely. One should know that he was a business mogul who had experienced many major life events. Even when he was confronted by a big shot, he still remained as cool as a cucumber. Even standing before Zayn right now, he felt more afraid than an elementary school student. “I… I… I…” He was practically convulsing. He was at a loss for words, which complemented his nonplussed exterior. His pants were even on the wrong way. The sight of him was hilarious.Zayn deadpanned to Sean, “Sean, it’s time for your revenge.”Sean understood Zayn’s intention naturally after working for Zayn for such a long time. He nodded strenuously then walked toward Kayden in long strides with a ferocious expression on his face. “Hey, Sean, what are you trying to do there, I’m warning you not to act recklessly… argh!”A thud was heard. Sean walked over and delivered a kick at Kayden’s groin area. The pain made Kayden scream out in ago
Zayn stood before the windowpane and stared down at the city skyline.His heart felt heavy. He was finally back, and he was going to paint the town red. It would be the biggest murderous rampage the city had ever seen!“Fine by me. I wanted him to spread the news. I want them to live the rest of their life in fear. I want to see them make allies among one another, to come at me as a united force,” he said calmly. “So that I can strike them in one fell swoop and obliterate them. They will have no escape.”Sean and the rest could hear the thunder growling beneath Zayn’s deceivingly calm clouds. It felt like the return of the monarch, whose little taps on his podium would cause seismic shocks throughout Waltz City while his enemies’ heads rolled.Of course! The almighty Zayn could do that literally.After tying up some loose strings regarding Violet Vision, Zayn went to see Gordon Hayes, who was in charge of Siren Security. Like his other businesses, Siren Security had been claimed b
Reminding himself of Taio put Kevan at ease. At least his backer was a combat instructor of Insurgent Duofecta and a superior class tier-4 elite—Zayn could fancy himself a cutthroat all he wanted, but he would not dare to really make things difficult for Kevan, right? Worst-case scenario, he could always just return Zayn’s properties. What was the worst Zayn could do to him?Honestly, now that Kevan really thought about it—maybe Zayn was not half as bold as he initially imagined him to be.After his initial panic had subsided, Kevan called Taio right away. The call linked quickly, and Kevan began in earnest, “Hello? Sergeant Cruz, yes? Is this a good time to talk?”The voice across the line sounded both insouciant and haughty when he replied, “Go on.”He took a deep breath. “Sergeant Cruz? Zayn Larson is alive. He’s back.”Kevan paused after the news. His heart was racing a little. Taio was his strongest backer, so if this guy was just as terrified of Zayn’s return, then Kevan cou
Taio had been slowly easing into a very productive mood. It almost felt as if he could graze the door leading to the perfect class any day now—And then Kevan Morales had to break one of the worst news he could ever receive to him at the eleventh hour. All that inner peace he managed to cultivate was basically back to zero again!“I’m telling you the truth, sir. Sergeant Cruz, Zayn has been spotted at Violet Vision headquarters just half an hour ago—in the flesh. He screwed my brother up real bad, sir; he’s trying to spite us by coming back in the most dramatic way possible… to people like us.”Kevan began to recount every piece of information he had ever collected about Zayn.At first, he had a hard time trying to believe the news of his return. It was the reason why Kevan had heard close to nothing about the furor that Zayn had kicked up in Tael City, or the sightings of him in Waltz City. It was only after Kayden had told his big brother about everything that was happening did t
“Oh yea? The floor is yours then, Deputy Director Suntherland. Enlighten us on what could possibly move you so much,” Joe intoned grimly.Liam’s enthusiasm was undeterred. “It’s Sergeant Larson! He… He’s back!”No one could be chummier with Zayn throughout the Insurgent Trifecta than Liam himself. After all, he had been the man who introduced Zayn into the organization. Which was why after Zayn’s seeming betrayal to the state, Liam felt so terrible he had fitful sleep for two nights.“Uh, Sergeant Larson…? Which one is that again—” Dick huffed under his breath before his eyes widened in recognition. He shook his head wildly, his voice raising, “No way. No way in hell that’s real.”The rest of the upper echelon slowly caught on—Zayn Larson. Liam was referring to Zayn.The erstwhile solemn mood dissolved into one of incredulity and disbelief. Exaggerated expressions possessed many of them around the table while their tongues tripped.Zayn had become a taboo since the incident that
