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
At that point, Zayn dominated the entire scene, and he seemed to tower over Jonah. The ominous feeling made Jonah furrow his brows. If Zayn were to make things difficult for him, there would be nothing he could do. He was injured and had less than half of his strength left while Zayn remained almost in peak condition. If they were to shed all pretenses of cordiality in a fight, he would be at a disadvantage. Noticing Jonah’s gaze, Taio immediately stepped forward and berated him loudly, “Zayn Larson, stop being intoxicated by your small success and pushing your luck! Director Fann is magnanimous and has shown a sense of propriety by yielding to you, yet you really think you’ve won? Let me tell you this, you’ve committed a capital crime and you’ll be doomed when Denali’s order is issued!”Zayn glared at Taio and muttered, “Loudmouth”. He then charged at the man. An irresistible force arrived before Taio almost instantly. Taio felt as if the sky was about to crash down on him.
Ten minutes later, Jonah and his subordinates departed in despair. They left behind a bunch of Insurgent Trifecta’s members. They were in a daze and could not believe the turn of events that had taken place.It was almost impossible for a man like Jonah to apologize. Death was preferable to him.Nevertheless, Jonah apologized earlier, tamed by Zayn’s capriciousness. It was unbelievable for them. Joe and those who had been acquainted with Jonah for many years had never seen him say sorry to anyone, so it was particularly astonishing for them. Whatever the case, Zayn had made him do so on this day. They no longer looked at Zayn with admiration but with absolute awe. They could imagine how powerful he could become in the future, and his status would only grow ever more distant. In fact, he may become too good for a small organization like Insurgent Trifecta. Not long after, in Yando City’s courtyard…“This lad is rather arrogant. Besides defeating Jonah Fann, he actually made
Working for Zayn had put him on the right track. On the other hand, this information traveled quickly. It had only been a few days and that bunch of old friends had already found out Zayn’s identity. They learned that Zayn was an experienced tycoon who owned a few large groups and companies. Even the mayor had to treat Zayn with respect!When this news reached them, they were thoroughly shocked and were kicking themselves in regret. If they had known how successful Zayn was, they would not have dared to go against him, let alone mock him!Shepherd and the others were panicking, terrified that Zayn would make things difficult for them. In less than a week, Shepherd fell ill. He was so sick that he almost died. After learning Kaiser was working for Zayn and had become very successful, they were extremely jealous. The people who used to despise Kaiser began to suck up to him. A few female friends who were rather pleasant-looking had even attempted to seduce him with their beauty.
Roxanne was struggling desperately on the inside. She would certainly be wasted after consuming the glass of liquor, but if she refused it, she would not be able to make it through her current hardships!After weighing it in her mind, she decided to drink it. “Alright! I’ll drink! I hope you remember your promise, Mr. Coleman.”“What a joke! Don’t you know who Rickard Coleman is? You have my word and my word is gold! I’m just going to put it out here today. I will sign the contract if you finish the drink!” Mr. Coleman generously declared. Roxanne’s interest was piqued. She yearned for the funding so badly that, in the end, she clenched her teeth to brace herself and picked up the glass, downing it in one gulp!It was a drink with a very high alcohol content and a strong aftertaste, about 100 milliliters in volume. After she had finished it, her entire body swayed. Her face flushed scarlet and her eyes were misty from drunkenness. She let out a burp and said, “Mr. Coleman, I-I’v
