“Roxanne is a friend of mine. You’re not allowed to cause her any trouble from now on.”“Understood, understood!” Rickard nodded vigorously. Zayn could not be bothered to lower himself to a nobody like him. He left the room and said to Roxanna, “Alright, you’re fine now. Let go of me.”Roxanne did not have the strength to do so. She was so intoxicated that she was no longer conscious. She fell asleep in Zayn’s arms and he furrowed his brows. He found the situation to be rather troublesome. He had no idea where Roxanne’s house was. After some consideration, he decided to take her to a hotel so she could rest.Zayn was preparing to leave after taking her to the hotel when Roxanne suddenly vomited on him and dirtied his clothes. It made him frown. “I don’t want to sell my body. I won’t betray my honor… Why do you have to bully me…” Roxanne muttered in her sleep with an agonizing expression. Zayn heaved a sigh after seeing her condition. Frankly, he did not loathe Roxanne that
Zayn was no fool. Naturally, he understood what Roxanne meant by that. She wanted to offer herself to him to repay his kindness. Truth be told, both Roxanne’s beauty and figure were unmatched, and she was attractive beyond comparison. “You’re drunk. Have a good rest,” said Zayn nonchalantly, indicating his rejection. Roxanne said in all seriousness, “I’m not drunk and I’m fully sober now! Zayn, I really do like you and it was my fault during the previous incident. However, you know me. I did it to try to get your attention because I just couldn’t forget my feelings for you all this time, and I took our past to heart. Franky, I wasn’t actually trying to humiliate you.”Roxanne tugged at her clothes shyly. Zayn’s gaze grew ever colder. How could a man of his status not tell that Roxanne was putting on an act? Roxanne had just left him with a favorable impression, but with this, that had vanished completely. “You disappoint me greatly, Roxanne.”“Zayn, I…” Roxanne panicked as
On a fairly uneventful day, Luke Jones suddenly interrupted Zayn’s meal with a very panicked phone call. Sounding desperate, he blabbered, “T-T-This is bad, Mr. Larson! S-Someone’s wreaking havoc in our turf!”Zayn frowned. Ever since he claimed Aeolous House and Hydrocure United as one of his forces, Luke’s power had grown so much that he was basically the ruler of Tael City. His standing had elevated to the point that nobody expected someone would challenge him.Stranger still, judging from his tone, Luke had failed to contain the issue.“What exactly happened?” Zayn asked.Apparently, Luke had founded a new company recently only to have the ribbon-cutting ceremony violently interrupted by a riot. The company was subsequently closed so that an investigation could be conducted.Luke had not thought much of it at first. He was Tael City’s most formidable figure, with influence and connections that vastly eclipsed many of his peers. The only solution he needed was a call to the rig
Luke was highly invigorated. It felt like he had gone back to his school days—he was the boss’s right-hand man, and he and the boys were out to give their enemy hell.“There it is, Mr. Larson! That *sshole’s opening ceremony is underway! It was all thanks to him and his yahoos that our new company got shut down before it even got up and running, and that’s not counting just how many of our people they screwed! They really thought they were above you, boss! They should be punished!” Luke spat through gritted teeth. His seething indignance was palpable.Zayn nodded and strode toward the venue. It was a bustling sight; the company had invited quite a few people to the event, many of them from the media.Zayn was not some hot-headed moron whose idea of vengeance consisted of showing up personally and making a scene. The only courtesy he needed to return was to call the proper authorities and force the company to close down for “investigations”.By this point, Zayn’s influence and power
Luke would not even dare harbor any thoughts remotely resembling betrayal while he was near Zayn—not when he had the feeling that his boss’s eyes could pierce his skull and read his mind!The second half of the month passed. Nothing happened, as though whatever beef between Luke and the aggressor had dissipated and there was no longer a reason for the hostility to continue.The truce, if there had been one, did not last. The news soon reached Zayn, and the target this time was Sean Wilson. His son was reportedly brutalized by a group of people after school. The beating was so terrible that some of his bones had snapped, and the poor boy suffered head trauma.When Sean first heard of the attack, he almost fainted. He only had one child and doted on him as if the boy was the most important thing in the universe. He could not possibly receive the news of cruelty on his son calmly.The next thing Sean did was to march to the crime scene while mobilizing his web of powerful connections
All Lysithea saw in the grin was a cold, merciless void. She had known Raiden long and well enough that she could tell just how murderous his intentions were from the width of his smile.Even within an elite organization like Sicut In Caelo, Raiden was a powerhouse. He was up there with their strongest fighters, his capabilities only eclipsed by the untouchable Saint and Ezra. Worse, as the years passed, something about Raiden’s overall countenance had taken a dark turn into the unsettling and impenetrable. Being around him always felt distressful…or even suffocating.He, as one of the Four Highlords whose positions were second only to the Saint, ruled the southern Rheasian region. His prominence within the organization, despite being only thirty-five years old, was a testament to his prodigious talent and skill. It was why Lysithea was sure that becoming Raiden’s enemy would very well be Zayn’s doom.She gritted her teeth, as though making a decision, before declaring, “All you rea
The rock tore through the air like a fallen asteroid, bursting into dangerous flames from the friction. It took only a second for it to hit its intended target crouching in a corner.There was a muffled thump and then a muted wince. The rock had hit Mr. Hyde’s thigh.His reflexes were fast enough to move him an inch away from the rock, but one of its sharp, jagged edges still managed to scrape his thigh. It took off a bit of flesh and skin before lodging itself deep into an unfortunate tree a distance away.Mr. Hyde was aghast. He had been adept in the Stealth Stance—a set of techniques aimed at hiding one’s presence—since he was a child. Even superior fighters would have trouble noticing him. Still, admittedly, he breathed a little too quickly a moment ago when he heard about Raiden’s plans to wreak havoc on Zayn’s life. It hindered his ability enough that Raiden noticed.“Sh*t, he saw me! He’s gonna kill me now!” Mr. Hyde cried under his breath, his feet scrambling for his life.
It was already night by the time Lil Hyde returned to Waltz City.He did not dare delay and immediately went to see Zayn.After dialing Zayn’s number, Lil Hyde went straight to the point and said, “Sir, it’s me, Lil Hyde. I'm outside of your house. Please come and meet me.”Zayn was extremely surprised by the call. He immediately projected his consciousness and detected Lil Hyde’s presence just as expected. Indeed, he was outside. “Alright, I’m coming,” Zayn said sombrely. He was preparing to hang up when Lil Hyde replied, “Sir, I can’t hear what you’re saying, but please come at once. I have something urgent to tell you.”Zayn furrowed his brows ever so slightly. He found it to be rather odd. Could it be that Lil Hyde had been compelled to do this and there were enemies lying in wait outside?However, Zayn soon rejected the notion. Firstly, he did not believe Lil Hyde would do such a thing. In his current condition, it would take a perfect-class master fighter to cause him an
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
