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
Roxanne waited for Zayn to finally crack. She expected him to act out of shame and regret, but to her disappointment, he simply looked as stony-faced as he always was. It did not phase him at all, and that angered her to no end. She expected the man’s reaction to be dramatic and intense. In the scenario that she had imagined, he would apologize and beg her for forgiveness.“So… You invited me to your little reunion just to tell me this and watch me wallow in—what? Regret? Remorse?” Zayn sneered with a disdainful smirk.Roxanne harrumphed. She hated him with a burning passion—she hated how he was always so caught up in showing how cool he was, how he ‘had it all’, even when he was so obviously aching in remorse. He loved pretending like he did not care!“You can drop the act, Zayn. I know you’re regretting every second of this,” she snarled.Zayn smiled. “And why would I?”“Still trying to act like a tough little schoolboy? Well, whatever. I don’t give a fuuuuuu*k. Because, you see
The crowd gawked at Mr. Spicer with even more deference and respect, surprised. Feeling quite self-satisfied, he waved dismissively and said, “I was just doing my job. At my core, I’m no different from the rest of you.”Roxanne had been acquainted with Jack Spicer in passing, but he already proved to be the most socially-eminent of her associates. He was powerful, young, and single—all the good qualities every young lady desired from a man. She had been thinking about asking someone like him out for a long time now.Mr. Spicer’s sudden entrance momentarily detoured Zayn’s departure from the reunion, but it only took a minute or so for him to be back on his way. Roxanne noticed him leaving, and immediately called him out. “There, Mr. Spicer! That’s the prick who insulted me and took advantage of my womanhood! I can’t do anything to get back at him, and now he thinks he can just leave unpunished!” she bemoaned. “Please, Mr. Spicer! You can fix this, right? Please help me; it’s so unfai
Jack was so close to hitting Zayn that when the man yelled, he jolted into the air before snapping his head up to see who the intruder was.The man’s identity surprised him even more, causing him to blurt out, “C-Captain?! W-Why are you here?!”Jack was beyond shocked that his distant, high-and-mighty superior would appear in a reunion party hosted by and for ordinary people. This was the kind of top dog who was always busy with top national security and operations! Then, there was the fact that those who accompanied his superior were high-ranking officers as well. All of them were above him in authority!The first thing that leaped into Jack’s mind was: has something big happened?Were these high-ranking people here for him? Had all of his dirty little secrets been unearthed? That should not be possible. Even if his unsavory deeds had been exposed, there should not be this many superiors here to apprehend him. Those were follies and crimes, but they were not sins. Certainly not bi
Zayn already sensed all of their presence before they even showed their faces, so he was not at all surprised. The thing that did shock him, however, was the legend by the name of Ares.He had heard of Ares before—the military’s champion, Rheasia’s premier protector, and rightly the crème de la crème with peerless power and standing. If Zayn would hazard a guess, Ares must have already reached the legendary state of Invincibilis.Admittedly, Ares would have sent someone to him either way. It was either to capture him or to make his stance known.Zayn was not the kind to be oblivious to social finesse. Ares was a legend, a myth-like figure—if someone of his caliber showed Zayn this much respect, then it was only appropriate that he returned the same amount to Ares’s people.He flashed them a smile. “I would never reject an invitation from a living legend like Ares! I do have one problem, though. Mr. Spicer here had demanded that I not leave this premise. He even said he’s going to p
“What’s the matter? Doesn’t recognize me anymore?” Zayn asked with a smile while he and Kaiser left. He could not help but notice the nonplussed, shell shocked expression, as though Kaiser was doubting reality as a whole.Kaiser slowly but surely returned from his trance and gulped loudly. The way he looked at Zayn was that of a stranger who just knew him. “Okay. Who the hell are you?”Zayn was just too… strange to him. He was nothing like Kaiser remembered at all!Zayn chortled. “You know me, man. Zayn Larson, your classmate back in middle school.”“B-But… B-But but but!” Kaiser mustered a protest only to have his tongue tripped. His head was still in a mess because everything had been hard to take.“Okay, that’s enough. Go home for the night and take a good rest. I’ll see you again tomorrow, okay? Then I’ll tell you everything.”Kaiser’s lips parted to form some sort of reply. He had a million questions to ask him, but when he glanced at all of the bigshots surrounding him and
Zayn nodded and said with a smile, “Thank you very much, everyone.”“You’re welcome, Sergeant Larson but this is our duty,” said Bowen. He chatted with Zayn along the way and the more he talked to Zayn, the more pleasant he found Zayn to be. He noticed that Zayn was a matured young man and not a wisp of impulsiveness or arrogance in him. The courtyard before him was huge and it was over ten thousand square meters. It appeared to be aged and Zayn estimated it to be 50 years old at the very least. During his flight, Zayn could sense a powerful presence in Yando City but when he arrived here, he could not sense the presence anymore. In his perception, he could not detect the presence of an unbeatable fighter in the courtyard but only the presence of thirty master fighters. However, Zayn was certain that Ares was in there. This signified that Ares was way more powerful than him such that he could not detect Ares’ presence. It was the legendary unbeatable fighter. Zayn could not
He spoke in a manner that was neither haughty nor humble. He was not disturbed just because the people before him were Ares and Denali. Everything else aside, just his calmness had already earned Paxton and Antony’s admiration. Paxton raised his head to look at Zayn then he cracked a faint smile and said, “Are you any good with playing chess?”Zayn said, “A little.”Paxton said, “Shall we have a game?”Frankly, Zayn thought about all sorts of possibilities when he was coming here, including how Ares would display his power and even attack him in an attempt to soften him a little. However, he did not expect that Ares would treat him so courteously and leisurely. Even Denali was treating him politely as if he was just meeting an old friend. Zayn did not hesitate much. At this point, he was already capable of being calm and composed in all situations. He cracked a smile as well and said, “In view of your invitation, it’s better for me to comply, Ares.”Antony took the initiative t
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
