Upon saying that, Zayn muttered ‘sorry’ to himself. He had no choice but to involve Faye in such an unusual scenario. Just as expected, after hearing his explanation, there was pity in Paxton and Antony’s expressions. If that was the case, there was nothing else they could do. Even though they were Zayn’s superiors, it was a personal matter. They could not force him to do something against his will in such a situation. However, Sienna's eyes widened in astonishment and she exclaimed, “How did you find out that I’m a woman?”She looked rather incredulous, as if Zayn’s ability to recognize her gender was inconceivable. Zayn had no response to that.Meanwhile, Paxton and Antony could not hide their embarrassment. Antony coughed in an attempt to defuse the awkwardness.Zayn had to concede defeat. The woman was constantly under the assumption that she was so adept at concealing her gender that others could not tell. Could it be that she thought she was a man just because she had
Zayn was unaware of Roxanne’s thoughts, but they would not matter in any case. Roxanne was just a nobody to him, and her presence would not affect his life in the slightest. He was far more troubled by Sienna Hoffman. He hoped the madwoman would not come to see him in Waltz City, or he would be in deep trouble!Zayn had had his fill of staying at home over the past few days, so he prepared to report for duty at Insurgent Trifecta. Insurgent Trifecta had treated him rather well, so it was only right for him to show up and explain himself. He would not want to disappoint the other members. Going back to Insurgent Trifecta, Zayn could tell that the atmosphere was quite different from before. It was tainted with a grim solemnity as if it was undergoing a fundamental change. “This is an official military post. No unauthorized entry!”Zayn was stopped by a few guards at the door as he approached the base of Insurgent Trifecta. They stood straight with serious expressions. Judging
“That’s right, corporal. He disobeyed his orders, so shouldn’t we be capturing him?”The six members of Squad 4 were overwhelmed with emotion when they heard that. They looked at Zayn and one of them asked, “Sergeant Larson, why are you here?”The man who spoke was Danny Stone, and he greatly idolized Zayn in the past. Under Zayn’s guidance, his skills improved tremendously, yet his feelings toward his teacher became complicated after Zayn was involved in those incidents. Not only did he feel this way but the other five members of the squad also had such thoughts.Zayn was aware of this, so he said, “I’m here to see Director Pennywise.”Danny considered for a moment before softly replying to Zayn, “Sergeant Larson, I think it’ll be better for you not to come back to the organization anymore. You’re seen as a wanted man, particularly in Insurgent Unifecta and Insurgent Duofecta. If they were to find out that you’ve returned, they’ll certainly come and seize you.”The other five s
Zayn burst out laughing. Everyone looked at him with a frown and could not figure out what he could still laugh about it. Was he attempting to provoke them, or had he lost his mind?Dick said with a deep voice, “Sergeant Larson, you’re a wanted criminal in the country now. If you come here, we are obliged to capture you.”When he finished his sentence, the group began to advance and formed a circle around Zayn. They were fully prepared to attack him at any moment in order to capture him!Even Liam had a very solemn expression on his face. No matter how much he valued Zayn, this situation permitted no further discussion. He had to do his duty as a soldier in the military even if it meant capturing Zayn!He would send Zayn to be tried by court-martial. Danny and the others were astounded by the situation. He hastily said, “What are you doing? Sergeant Larson told us that he had already cleared his name, so there’s no need for you to capture him anymore!”Liam shook his head and
Taio said, “Director Fann, Zayn Larson is so arrogant that he simply disregards the law! We can’t allow him to escape justice! We have to apprehend him so he can be court-martialed!”Hollis immediately chimed in and said, “Director Fann, Cruz is right. Zayn Larson brazenly disobeyed orders, and now, he still has the gall to come back so audaciously. Moreover, he viciously assaulted us before and left us with severe injuries. He’s guilty of the most heinous crimes, so we can’t let him off so easily!”“Also, Insurgent Trifecta is guilty of harboring a criminal and deliberately breaking the law. We must report them to Denali so that they can be punished!”“I don’t think it’s necessary to keep Insurgent Trifecta anymore. Look at how poorly they are managing themselves now!”A tall middle-aged man with a large figure stood in front of Taio and Hollis. He had a square face covered in stubble and seemed imposing. He looked like a malicious man. He was the director of Insurgent Duofecta, J
In Insurgent Trifecta…It had been two days since Zayn’s return. He had largely resumed his old routine, the only difference being that Joe Pennywise had promoted him to the position of chief instructor. With that, even Wolf’s Fang Squad and Dragon’s Blood Squad would have to report to him. This promotion did not strictly comply with the rules, but there were no objections from the other members of Insurgent Trifecta. It seemed even more appropriate after they had learned that the combination of Dick Cheney and Byleth Constantine was still no match for Zayn and had been defeated easily. In fact, they felt that it was an honor to receive Zayn’s guidance. “Oh no, oh no!”In the meeting room, a soldier barged in anxiously. “What are you doing? Why are you panicking?” Liam chided him at once. “Something bad is happening. The members of Insurgent Unifecta and Insurgent Duofecta are here to arrest someone!”The news left Liam slightly stunned. He said, “Speak clearly. Why are th
The people in the meeting room from Insurgent Trifecta were furious that the intruders charged in without permission. However, their fury weakened substantially when they saw Jonah. “Jonah Fann, what are you doing here barging into my Insurgent Trifecta with a bloody army? This is against the law!” Joe stood up and said coldly. Rather than answering Joe, Jonah's eyes swept across the meeting room. He furrowed his brows ever so slightly when he failed to locate Zayn. He then stared at Joe and said, “I’m here to arrest Zayn Larson. Hand him over.”He spoke in a commanding, haughty tone. He and Joe held the same military rank, yet he did not bother to show the slightest respect. He was extremely arrogant and conceited. Joe said, “Jonah Fann, you didn’t even notify me before you came barging in to arrest my man. That’s extremely audacious!”Jonah impatiently replied, “Joe, I won’t dispute over trifles with you. Zayn is a criminal and must be sent to be tried by court-martial. How d
The mood changed. Now, an air of bellicosity hung above the hall. Jonah’s men leveled the rest of the conference room with a charged, predatory look from behind him.Joe’s expression took a turn to dismay as he wailed secretly in his head. He knew very well just how stupidly powerful Jonah Fann was, and if he were being honest, he was sure that the combined strength of every single one of them in the room right now would be no match to Jonah alone. That was excluding attacks from twenty or more superior fights standing behind their primary foe!He was trapped in a dilemma. Must he give Zayn up?!Dick’s famously short fuse was already lit. Snorting, he bristled, “Declaring a war, Jonah? Did the thought ever go through your thick skull? Do you really think Daneli’s gonna let you and your grunts walk away scot-free after stirring up trouble in the Insurgent Trifecta?”Unfortunately, Jonah made it plain just how negligible Dick was to him—he hardly spared the furious man a glance. It f
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
