“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
When he finished speaking, the sounds of his heavy footsteps could be heard coming from the outside. Every step was taken with conviction, and they were quick and precise in sound and movement. It was as if there were thousands of soldiers and horses marching towards them from all directions!Sean and Gordon were even more anxious upon hearing the commotion, and the 20 subordinates were no different. Their faces had lost all their color. Though, they managed to draw their weapons even in the face of danger.Upon taking in their reactions, Zayn shook his head. He mulled over how weak their psyches were.However, there was not much he could blame them for. After scanning the area, he came to realize that there were over a thousand people present. It seemed that these people were going to stop at nothing to take him down.Moreover, he could also sense four powerful presence that belonged to four Tier-4 master fighters without a doubt. He was certain that those were Taio, Caspian and t
At that very moment, Kevan’s spirit was brimming with militant pride. He stood with a straight back and assumed an imposing demeanor. He felt like he was at the apex of humanity, and he felt a sense of achievement even stronger than when he founded Everest Group. He had never felt more superior. Zayn was an absolute demon. For the past two years, he was an imposing mountain that made people fall before him. After learning about Zayn’s return, he felt like the past two days had been stretched out to be immense torture. He had never felt so pained in his entire life.Now that he could finally stick out his chest to confront Zayn, he felt roused with high spirits. He looked toward Zayn without respect and admiration but with a gaze filled with recklessness and contempt. He was fully confident and assumed that it was already the end for Zayn. It would be the day of Zayn’s death today!He looked forward to seeing Zayn being hopeless eagerly. He figured that it would certainly be an ex
“Here, we’re acquaintances after all. If you and your people bow down and acknowledge your mistake to us now, we may consider sparing all your lives. What do you think of that? We’re very loyal to our friends, aren’t we?”The rest of the people burst out laughing once again. Sean and Gordon trembled in rage, yet there was nothing they could do either. They felt very bitter in their hearts and they had even regretted their action. They felt that Zayn had overestimated himself this time by having so few people with him. On the other hand, there were more than a thousand people in the opposing party. It was a battle on a completely different level. They could not help looking toward Zayn and when they saw that Zayn was still behaving calmly as before, they could not figure out what Zayn was thinking about. Kevan stared straight at Zayn and he was extremely displeased by how Zayn could still appear so calm at this moment now. “Zayn! You beat up my son previously and I have yet to de
“Just an army of ants. An army of puny ants—no matter how many of you there are, you amount to nothing. Why do you think you can take on a bear? What a joke!” Zayn stated menacingly. He stood over there just like Ares. He stirred fear in the hearts of countless rascals. It rendered them too terrified to provoke him.“I requested your presence here tonight because we used to be acquaintances in the past. As long as you provide a sincere apology, I will let you off.” Zayn paused for a moment to gaze at everybody with bright, glowing eyes. His presence was so intimidating that it felt like he had just called upon a lightning bolt to punish the offenders. “Yet, all of you are looking for trouble and you have the audacity to challenge me even!”It was a shocking scene. There was only one of Zayn while there were a thousand of them. They could drown Zayn with their strength in numbers, yet they were scared of Zayn now. Anyone whose eyes met Zayn’s gaze would feel terrified from the bottom
Yuri, Sawyer, and the others just began to relax after seeing Taio. They hastily said, “Sergeant Cruz is right. Zayn Larson has committed a heinous crime, so he should be captured and executed cruelly!“Zayn, you’re in deep sh*t. We’ll see how you’re going to end up dead this time!”They began to clamor once again, and there was no difference between them and hysterical women cursing in public. The noise bothered Zayn who cast an icy cold glance at them. “Whoever makes any more noise, I’ll cut his tongue out.”The uproar halted to a stop at once as their fear for Zayn came from deep within their bones. Noticing that Zayn still had the audacity to be arrogant, Taio became even more infuriated. He let out a grunt heavily. “You’re facing imminent death, yet you’re still putting up a pretense! Zayn, although you killed my brother-in-law previously, I spared your life out of respect for you as an Insurgent Trifecta member. As a result, you’ve actually disobeyed the superior’s order
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
