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
This must be a test Ares and Daneli had set up for him. It would explain why they decided on clemency in the courtyard without actually issuing an official statement. What really surprised him was that Jonah Fann, the director of the Insurgent Duofecta, would personally come to apprehend him.Jonah had made his way to appear before Zayn, and immediately he felt the pulsating power pouring out of him. It was enough to convince Jonah to change from a kind of cavalier contempt to seriousness. From one perfect class to another, he could accurately tell how puissant Zayn was.He was a true prodigy! It became even more evident when he noticed Zayn’s age. The man was so young! Furthermore, his vitality was brimming and ceaseless, like the fountain of youth itself.It made him jealous.“Zayn Larson, do you know the weight of the sins you’ve committed?!” Jonah, his aura erupting out of him like furious waves breaking out of the levee.The Insurgent Trifecta members who finally arrived at t
Professionals know their opponent by the ways they perform.It was the first time Zayn was ever properly crossing hands with a perfect class elite.His last encounter with the perfect class Ezra was not a duel; it was a pursuit in which the more powerful party reserved the bulk of his powers. Ezra never thought that Zayn was his equal in that battle, so he never fought him with the proper acknowledgment a duel was to predicate upon.What about now though? Now it was different. Zayn had grown since then. He was a match for Jonah—which was why Jonah was not going to regard him lightly either. This was the reason why he went for the kill on his first attack alone. Zayn was no slouch in battles either, and so his reflexes kicked in the millisecond Jonah moved. Zayn could match Jonah’s tempo head-on.Jonah was not at all surprised that his first move missed. On the contrary, he expected it—it was a rudimentary bar for any self-respecting perfect class fighter to cross. He did not stop
Zayn kept backtracking in silence. The bystanders concluded that he was at a disadvantage and was going to lose any time now.Jonah’s patience was running low—not helped by Zayn playing the mute. With a loud sneer, he stated, “Zayn Larson, this is your last warning! Submit, or die!”Zayn’s lips remained tightly sealed, and so Jonah finally reached his boiling point. “Oh, so you want it that way, huh? Being civil makes me a weakling, does it? Be my guest.”Jonah’s figure blurred into a series of afterimages rather than a trail of visible movement. He had increased his speed!That was not all. The crowd had ceased to see a 180-centimeter-tall man lunging at his enemy. Instead, a few-kilometers-tall three-headed behemoth with a gaping maw armed with rows and rows of blood-soaked teeth loomed. It could swallow an entire hill with a single chomp! In a pitiful comparison, Zayn was about as big and strong as a locust against it. He could crush Zayn into powder with a single stomp.“No! H
Just when he was about to back away, Zayn’s punch had reached the air just several millimeters away from his nose. It appeared in the blink of an eye as though appeared out of thin air. There was no clap of sonic boom or anything of the like because it was so fast that it was pretty much illogical.It was this nick of time when the nag of danger turned into a desperate roar in Jonah’s mind. He had a dreadful hunch that if the punch was ever connected to his face, a grievous injury was the only possibility. He should never allow himself to be hit—ever!There was no moment for him to think how Zayn managed to upscale his power in such a blink of an eye or how exquisitely dexterous he was at evading the only split-second opening Jonah’s coup de grâce ever had, not that Zayn’s action and skill remained within the bounds of physics and logic anyway!Zayn was too fast for Jonah to evade, so he made the only correct decision and braced Zayn’s attack head-to-head for mutually sustained da
It was very apparent that Zayn had won the fight this time. The whole crowd quieted down at once. It was deathly silent. Everyone stared at Zayn in a daze, never having expected he would actually win. Jonah was not some amateur but a renowned fighter known as ‘The Devil’. He was the highest-ranking member of the three Insurgent organizations. Nevertheless, Zayn had defeated him?They found it to be unreal even after witnessing it with their own eyes. They felt like they were in a dream. Taio and the others were staring in bewilderment, their pupils constricted. They could not believe that it was real. After the momentary astonishment, Joe and the others became excited and their faces flushed scarlet!Not stopping, Zayn snapped his fingers and launched a counterattack, nonchalantly declaring, “It’s my turn now.”The few dozen meters between the opponents vanished in a flash as Zayn made his way to Jonah and delivered a mighty slap. No matter how powerful and skilled Jonah w
What the heck was going on? Everyone was stunned by Zayn’s words. They then witnessed a shocking scene. As the dust slowly settled, revealing the outcome of the battle, they saw Zayn standing with his arms behind him. Even though he was injured, he did not appear to be in a disheveled state. Jonah was getting up from the ground, his clothes torn and his body strewn with wounds. He appeared to be reluctant to admit that he had been beaten. It was quite apparent that Jonah was defeated. He had lost to Zayn!The result astonished everyone. They could not believe that it was real!“Uh…”Joe's eyes went wide and he could not conceal his astonishment. He was well aware that Zayn was a perfect-class master fighter on the same level as Jonah. That being said, Jonah was The Devil! He had been involved in countless events that shocked the world over the past two decades and had a formidable reputation. Despite all this, he had genuinely been bested by Zayn!Zayn had just recently made
