Chapter 133 Examining Authenticity

“Thank you.”

Zayn placed the painting flat on the table. He made note of the canvas material being very worn. It looked quite old. The linen canvas had yellowed with age, but the material was thick and rough. The oil paint was dried and hardened, giving it the effect of being painted from a past century.

Judging from the material, there were no weak points.

Moreover, the piece of artwork was painted with cubism in mind. A layman would have no way of telling the real from the fake.

In fact, even an art lover would have a hard time recognizing it was forged. Anyone who could confirm it to be a counterfeit was certainly a connoisseur.

It was such a waste that Zayn specialised in such a niche field. As a young boy, he was pressured by his father into pursuing cultured pastimes such as music, chess, and painting. It also helped that he was exceptionally gifted in the arts. Combined with his honed skills and dedicated training, an average expert was no match for a prodigy like himself.

    Many of his accomplices in the crowd were severely taken aback as well.Resentment grew inside the tomboy as she tried to swallow the fact that someone had attempted to swindle her. They truly were a bunch of audacious con artists!600 thousand dollars would not leave a dent in her pockets at all, but it would be mortifyingly embarrassing if news of the incident were to circulate. She was just about to burst from humiliation just thinking about it. “You very well had the audacity to try and swindle me with your counterfeit! You must be tired of living—let me relocate you to a living h*ll!”She ordered her two bodyguards to contact the police so that the owner of the antique store could be detained and tried. Realizing this, the owner of the antique store fled hurriedly in the other direction. Though, he could not outrun the tomboy’s bodyguards, as he was quickly captured before he managed to gain distance.Meanwhile, the middle-aged man who had been his co-accomplice was starting t

    Just as he was about to leave, someone called out from behind him. He turned around to find that it was the tomboy, Mr. Smith. Zayn stopped in his tracks. “Anything else?”The tomboy had very delicate features, and her complexion resembled the pure, driven snow. She was a very beautiful woman, and anyone could make that conclusion in just a glance, which was why she dressed the way that she did. Ironically enough, she was far more attractive than most of the young male artistes on the entertainment scene.As she walked over, Zayn noticed a faint scent radiating off of her body. Zayn was curious—was she unaware of how masculine she appeared in the mirror before leaving the house?“Thank you for your help earlier. If it wasn’t for your timely rescue, I would’ve gone home with a fake painting.” The tomboy thanked Zayn sincerely, expressing her heartfelt gratitude to him for his assistance.Zayn said, “Don’t mention it, it’s no trouble to me at all.”The tomboy continued sheepishly,

    After an hour had passed, Zayn was finally back at 4S. He heaved a sigh of relief—it was almost impossible to get away from that relentless tomboy.Zayn felt very uneasy during their meal. Alexandra was obviously a woman, but she desperately tried to mimic the mannerisms of a man. It would have been dismissable if she was decent at it, yet she was far from being convincing.What made matters worse was that she was completely oblivious to her poor performance. She interacted with him with blind confidence as she butchered her identity. The way she went about conversing with Zayn—frequently throwing in curse words for no apparent reason and touching Zayn all too comfortably—rendered him speechless.As a result, when Alexandra offered to keep him company after the meal, he hastily declined and retreated to 4S as he waited for his car to be repaired.Alexandra was swelling with pride as she watched Zayn’s departing silhouette fade into the distance. “Heh-heh, what an idiot. He had no i

    They chatted for a while more before William abruptly took on a grave tone of voice. “Sir, in all frankness, I paid you a visit because I have something important to discuss with you.”Victor responded earnestly, “What is it? If it’s anything I can be of use for, I won’t back down from an opportunity to help a friend.”William glanced in the direction in which Alexandra had stormed off, and cracked into a sheepish smile. “It was love at first sight with me and Ms. Smith. I’ve spent countless nights tossing and turning in my bed because she’s always on my mind, and so after mustering enough courage, I’ve come here today to ask for your daughter’s hand in marriage!”…Howard was having a tough time because of his recent demotion. Not only had he been demoted, but his authority had been stripped from him as well. He could well be considered as nothing but a miserable bum now.What made matters worse was that he still owed Gordon an outstanding amount of a few hundred thousand dollars

    As a man, Howard clearly understood Mr. Brown’s intentions. Mr. Brown obviously wanted to sleep with Faye!If it had been in the past, Howard would have blindly agreed to it without the slightest hesitation at all. However, it was different now. It was not because he was unwilling, but it was because he was not in the position to make such a decision.Now that the Carters held Faye to such a high regard, even George would be tentative to force her into doing something so salacious.Now that Faye’s status in the Carter family was different, even George would not necessarily be able to force her to come to do this if she refused to. And even then, he still feared Zayn to a certain extent. As of late, Lady Luck seemed to be on his side.

    As soon as she laid her eyes on the scene, Faye felt immediately discouraged.“You idiot, do you think we can just walk away from paying the three million dollars just because there wasn’t an IOU? Fifi loaned the money from the chairman of Violet Vision. He’s so powerful that the Carters could never afford to resist him. We are obligated to return the money, even if it means loaning more of it from a loan shark!”George paused before directing his attention to Faye. “Oh, Faye, aren’t you on friendly terms with the chairman? Would you like to meet with him again? We’re not loaning money from him this time around, instead we’re looking to strike a business proposition with him that will benefit the both of us. What do you say?”Faye considered George’s words for a moment before bursting his bubble, “Grandpa, my relationship with the chairman honestly isn’t all that intimate. If I pay him a visit, he would most likely disagree with our proposal.”In truth, Faye met with the chairman o

    During the previous financial crisis, Faye had already felt disheartened enough. There was absolutely no way that she would agree to do something like that!She still remembered how she sacrificed herself for the greater good in order to loan the three million dollars from the chairman. It felt even worse knowing none of the Carter family members believed her—they went as far as calling her an embarrassment to the Carters. They still harbored those prejudices against her, and she knew.Plus, who did these people take her for?She was a proper lady!Howard had already expected Faye to say that. He sneered at her, “What kind of attitude is that, Faye? I was only going to ask you to come with me when I sign the contract, and now you’re overreacting and being the drama queen like you always are. Are you even a Carter?”Faye stared down at him coldly. “Howard, don’t try that stuff with me again! I sacrificed myself when we were going through tough times back then, and guess what happen

    The legal representative of Neotech Co. was now Faye’s father, Waine. It did not help that the switch had only happened a few days prior. Waine agreed to take up the position when he was in a drunken stupor, after sharing a meal with Hector.There was definitely something suspicious about it!Faye was not a fool, in fact, she was wise beyond her years. It did not take her long to figure out that the switch had been made because Hector had realized that the company was in hot water, and that he would be at risk of being imprisoned if the company was unable to pay off their debt. As a result, he made it so Waine was the legal representative to the company instead to evade any form of liability!Waine was Hector’s biological brother. He was actually willing to throw his younger brother under the bus just like that!Faye was left feeling even more resentful and equally as demoralized.If familial love is supposed to feel like a warm embrace, why did Faye feel nothing but the agonizing

    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.

    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.

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.
