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
The thought lingered in their heads. Joe let out a long sigh. “For God’s sake—why come back if he managed to survive? And to return in the most clout-generating fashion ever…”The crowd murmured in assent. Who said Zayn’s return would automatically be a portent for good things?“You know what I really wanna do? I wanna ask why he did. Why the hell did he choose to sabotage his future in his beloved country? He had such a bright future ahead of him! What’s the point of becoming invincible and unbeatable when your home country has become your enemy?” Liam grouched in disappointment.Whatever the effects of his return were, taking away the upper echelon’s mood for a fruitful meeting was one of them. The Insurgent Trifecta was experiencing an uphill battle, too, particularly since attacks from enemies of the state had ramped up lately. The organization was starting to feel the onset of fatigue.It was times like these that made them think. Had Zayn never did what he did, he would still
Kevan Morales’ body trembled when he heard the news. The feeling of terror toward Zayn was felt once again. He called up Taio Cruz without the slightest hesitation and reported this incident to Taio. Taio gathered everybody else at once while he flew over from Insurgent Duofecta. There were also Hollis Layton and Caspian Freeman and Christian Little from Insurgent Unifecta who joined him. The four great Tier-4 master fighters gathered to form a force so great that even Zayn could not escape even if Zayn had the ability to escape death!Zayn was already considered a federal criminal. They were planning on beating Zayn up right away and injuring him so severely that he would not be able to fight anymore. Then, they would hand him over to their superior so their superior could try Zayn. By then, Zayn would have to face the consequences worse than death!It could be said that a storm was brewing in the entire Guineve now. There was calm before the storm. It was calm to an abnormal exte
