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
“Sir, I’m really not lying to you. I heard it with my own ears. He found out about your affair with Lady Lysithea and now he’s coming to kill you!”Noticing that Zayn was furrowing his brows, Lil Hyde assumed he did not believe him, so he spoke with an even more anxious tone. After that, Zayn was almost certain something was wrong with Lil Hyde. Otherwise, he would not be giving such meandering answers. He clutched Lil Hyde by the shoulders and said, “Calm down! Tell me, who is Raiden Storm? Don’t panic!”When Zayn placed his hands on him, Lil Hyde realized what was happening as well. He cracked a grim smile and pointed at his ears, saying, “Sir, I lost my sense of hearing, so I can’t understand you. It’ll be better for you to talk to me via text message on your phone.”“What?” Zayn was astonished. He swiftly looked at Lil Hyde’s ears and found blood seeping out of them. Zayn shouted something into the man’s ears only to find Hyde was not responding to his voice. Infuriated, he ty
Raiden and his gang were an imposing sight and ignited the atmosphere at the scene right away. Everyone began to engage in a heated discussion. They all looked toward Zayn. Luke Jones’ pupils constricted as he said to Zayn in a deep voice, “Mr. Larson, it’s that gang again. They’ve come to create more trouble. Judging by their demeanor, it appears they are going to do something even worse this time!”Sean gritted his teeth in anger and said, “Mr. Larson, they’ve gone too far. How dare they cause trouble in your presence?! It’s obvious that they have no respect for you!”Gordon nodded vigorously and said, “That’s right. We can’t let this guy off easily! It will be a crushing blow to your reputation if news of this incident were to spread!”Faye was there as well. She wrapped an arm around Zayn’s and said with concern, “Zayn, who are these people? Why are they causing trouble at the opening ceremony of our company?”Zayn said nonchalantly, “They’re the members of Sicut In Caelo,
Looking into each other’s eyes, both of them had already engaged in a battle of wills and could feel a slight chill in their hearts. Raiden thought to himself, ‘Hayley King’s b*st*rd is rather impressive and has already made such massive leaps in his martial arts training. It’s no wonder he’s so bold!’ Meanwhile, Zayn was thinking, ‘This Raiden guy is even greater than Jonah Fann. In fact, he is almost on par with Ezra Sword.’ After briefly sounding out each other, they shifted their gaze away. They could see each other’s strength and willpower, so they both regarded their opponent as a mortal enemy. Only one of them would walk away from this with his life. This first encounter was already so mutually antagonistic and irreconcilable, it was as if they had been foes in their previous lives. “How dare you?! Where did you come from and how dare you cause trouble on Mr. Larson’s territory?! You must have a death wish!”A large number of Zayn’s bodyguards immediately rushed out to
The vast majority of onlookers were unaware of Sicut In Caelo’s existence and had never heard of it before. As a result, their expressions were overwhelmed with emotions after Raiden’s statement. They were curious and filled with the urge to gossip. Judging by the situation, Zayn’s background did not seem to be honorable.In the past, Zayn would certainly have flown into a rage upon hearing that. He would feel insulted, but by this point, he was above that. His family background was beyond his control. Moreover, he did not see himself as a bastard but as the product of his parents’ love. He did not think that his parents’ relationship was shameful. On the contrary, Sicut In Caelo was a feudalistic organization in modern society—it was disgraceful. A backward organization like this would be eliminated in time! He did not think that Sicut In Caelo could last much longer. Hence, not only was Zayn unaffected by the insult, but he also cracked a smile and said nonchalantly, “Raiden,
Glaring at Zayn, all sorts of things ran through Raiden’s mind. His yearning for Zayn’s head grew even more. From his point of view, Zayn was no longer a person but the key to elevating his reputation in the organization and helping him win The Saint’s favor. Hence, Zayn had to die that very day. Even though Zayn was a perfect-class master fighter and was no weaker than Raiden, he was not planning on taking the match seriously at all. This was because, though both of them were perfect-class master fighters, the disparity between them was massive. Moreover, it had already been five years since he reached perfect-class. He had become adept at countless lethal techniques and gained a huge amount of combat experience.On the other hand, it had been less than three months since Zayn became a perfect-class master fighter. How could he compare to him?He was unaware that he had underestimated Zayn. If he had known that Zayn had recently defeated Jonah quite handily, he would not hav
“I’m no match for you?” Raiden stopped laughing. He stared at Zayn and said with a supremely haughty attitude, “I’ve encountered plenty of ignorant people in my life, but it’s my first time meeting someone as foolish as you. Do you genuinely think that you’re a highly skilled perfect-class master fighter just because you made a breakthrough in your training with the benefits of the Aeon Karpos? Let me tell you this, you’re just unorthodox…”Zayn interrupted Raiden by digging his ear and acted as if he was growing impatient. “Are you done babbling? Leave if you’re finished.”The middle-aged man next to Raiden flew into a rage at once, pointing at Zayn’s nose and yelling, “Such impertinence! You’re just a lowly outcast! How dare you speak like that to a highlord?!”Despite his bravado, the older man’s expression changed drastically when Zayn glared at him. His words got stuck in his throat and he could not shout anymore. He looked just like an animal with its throat being clutched.
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
