A woman who was covered in luxurious accoutrements from head to toe approached them with a look of scorn.“You’re joking, right, Lola? He’s a trust-fund kid! Y’know, with rich-*ss parents and whatnot? There’s no way someone like that would be coming here with a scooter like some broke *ss. You’re joking!”“Yea, I ain’t falling for this one, mate. Zayn was the richest guy in class back then! He came to school in his luxury car driven by his butler like he’s the goddamned son of Bruce Wayne! He’s 100% a different class from us peasants.”“But! But, hear me out, it’s not like family wealth could go on forever, right? There are a boatload of rich social elites folding their businesses because they couldn’t run it. Some even managed to spend all of their fortune and inheritance within a few years!”The crowd was quite taken aback by Lola’s words. Their discussion went on, the participants seemingly defending Zayn out of good faith, but it became clear from their tone that they were gloa
Fortunately, Kaiser’s attitude did not fluctuate at all. Zayn’s apparent downfall was undeserving of a call for his contempt. Still, it was strange to not find Kaiser or Roxanne Harrison after scanning the venue. Were those two not the first ones to arrive? Where were they, then?Just then, he heard shuffling footsteps echoing from outside, followed by an explosion of fanfare out of the venue’s usherettes. He turned to the source and immediately found himself staring at Kaiser and Roxanne, who were walking toward the interior with a group of bodyguards flanking them.“Look! It’s Roxanne!”“Oh my God! Now that’s Ms. Harrison to you! She’s getting more beautiful by the year! I swear she looks like one of these really gorgeous stars on the big screen! Whoever gets to date that fine, bodacious chick is gonna be the luckiest bastard in the world!”“Uh, duh! As if Roxanne isn’t the CEO of several companies with her net-worth climbing to the millions! She’s a goddamn powerhouse who shatte
There was no doubt that all eyes were on Roxanne tonight. Her movements were regaled with rapt attention from all of the guests.Working under Roxanne for years had fostered a deep-seated deference in Kaiser’s bones. As soon as he saw the young woman approaching them, he leaped out of his comfortable, lazy recline and stood tall before bidding her a greeting.Roxanne scanned Zayn nonchalantly before flashing him a smile. “Zayn Larson! It’s been a while.”The bystanders were noticeably behooved by her apparent act of courtesy. Words about her arrogance preceded her, and there were tales of her conceit magnified as her business became booming. And yet, here she was, the infamous diva greeting Zayn by her own accord.It was out of her character to do so, unless—her old flames for Zayn had not been put off after all.How lucky of him. How very, very lucky of him to have attracted the attention of someone so above. They would have done anything for fortune like that! She was a rising,
Roxanne’s remark caused a wave of envy to flood the room, and it was all directed at Zayn. What did Zayn do to deserve such good luck, huh? How did he manage to gain the favoritism of Roxanne?Shepherd could not bear to listen anymore so he hastily walked over and said, “Roxanne, stop mocking Zayn. Look at him, does he look like a business owner? Moreover, he came to the reunion tonight on an electric scooter, I bet he makes a few hundred bucks a month only, hah-hah.”He spoke so loudly with an expression that made him look like he was joking. In reality, he was humiliating Zayn and it made everyone at the scene sneer at Zayn upon hearing that. The corners of Roxanne’s lips curled up ever so slightly as well into a smile.The more Zayn was there, the more disappointed he was at them. He had not expected that the old friends from his past would turn into these snobbish people. He could not be bothered to pay attention to them anymore so he said to Kaiser right away, “Kaiser, I stil
Kaiser was so agitated that he lost his temper. His entire face was flushed with anger. The sight of him was terrifying. On the other hand, his reaction scared numerous people indeed. It was because he assumed an inferior mannerism over the years. Even though he was working a proper job, he worked as Roxanne’s chauffeur. As time passed, everyone took him lightly and assumed that he was just a driver and that he was on a different level as compared to the rest of them. In addition, Kaiser did behave inferiorly. He would alway handle the chores during the reunion usually and everyone was used to him acting like a lowly servant. They had never expected that he would lose his temper like this and had the audacity to shout at them. On the other hand, Zayn was stunned as well. He looked at Kaiser in a daze. Frankly, he felt rather touched in his heart. Kaiser was an old friend to him similarly yet there was such a huge difference between him and Shepherd. It could be said that Kaiser
“That’s right, apologize now!”Everyone else chimed in, pressuring Kaiser to apologize. Speaking through clenched teeth, Kaiser muttered, “I haven’t said anything wrong, so why should I apologize, you…”Roxanne silenced the crowd by demanding icily, “Apologize, Kaiser.”Upon hearing that, Kaiser’s body began to convulse at once. He gritted his teeth tightly and lowered his head. He felt extremely unwilling and very aggrieved as well. He would lose all his dignity if he were to apologize in the presence of so many of her old friends!However, Roxanne had already given the order. If he still refused to apologize, Roxanne would terminate his employment for real!The worst part was that Roxanne still kept half a year’s worth of his monthly wages. If he were to be fired by Roxanne now, he would not be getting that back anymore. It was worth a few thousand bucks regardless. “I…” Kaiser raised his head and looked at Roxanne with a pleading gaze while he spoke as if he was begging for
As he was confronted by the mockery of his old friends, Zayn stood there, unmoving. He looked at Kaiser nonchalantly, waiting for Kaiser’s reply. Kaiser was stunned. His senses were telling him that it was impossible but his sensibilities were telling him to believe that Zayn was telling the truth. Even though Zayn looked very ordinary now, the confidence emanating from his gaze convinced Kaiser instinctively. The momentary hold up displeased Roxanne. Her expression dimmed instantly as she said to Kaiser straightforwardly, “It seems that you have no respect for me. Very well then, from today onward, you’re fired! I’d like to see if Zayn is truly capable of making you superior to everyone else!”Kaiser’s entire body shook once instantly. He began panicking and hastily said, “Please don’t fire me, Ms. Harrison. I was only acting on impulse earlier and I didn’t mean to offend you at all!”Roxanne let out a heavy grunt and said, “Acting on impulse? I can see that you were very arroga
It was Zayn. He told Kaiser in all apparent seriousness. Kaiser felt a shiver run down his spine upon hearing Zayn’s statement. He said in frustration, “My friend, you’ve been a great help, you have! Frankly, my family is facing some difficulties and this job and its wages is my only way out.”Roxanne had been observing on the side with cold eyes. She would like to know what sort of b*llsh*t Zayn could come up with!Zayn said, “I know and that is why I’ve already told you earlier that I’m very rich. I’m richer than you can imagine and one word from me is enough to make you superior to everyone else. I wasn’t joking.”Kaiser did not believe Zayn but on the contrary, he assumed a concerned expression and stretched out his hand to feel Zayn’s forehead. He lowered his voice and said, “Are you okay?”Zayn said in frustration, “I’m not lying to you, and I mean it when I say that. I’ll take you to my company tomorrow if you don’t believe me, you’ll be able to see it for yourself.”Kais
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
