If it was Ezra Sword who had shown up, Zayn would still have a slim chance of survival. However, Zayn was doomed now that it was The Saint. Not even Paxton ‘Ares’ Brookes could ensure Zayn’s safety!Paxton raised his head to look toward a certain direction as if Caelum was standing on a cloud in the sky with his hands clasped behind him. Paxton said nonchalantly, “Caelum, you finally appear.”Caelum’s voice was heard coming from the void once again. It was a God-like voice that boomed as if he had experienced many vicissitudes of life. It would be hard to forget a voice like that. “Paxton, you’ve been looking for me constantly over the years. I didn’t acknowledge you out of respect for your teacher. Did you really think I was afraid of you?” Caelym’s voice did not seem to contain any emotional changes. In addition, his voice echoed from all directions before sweeping in like tidewater. It did not sound like a human voice anymore一it sounded more like the voice of God that could rend
Paxton took the initiative to launch an opportunistic attack on Caelum. Zayn’s brows twitched ferociously as he was overwhelmed with emotions and filled with anticipation. His gaze followed Paxton closely, yet he did not manage to see their silhouettes. It was as if they were in a dimension that ordinary people could not see. It did not make sense at all!As for the rest of the people, they were even more confused. They could not figure out how Paxton vanished out of nowhere. The sounds of intense battle could be heard coming from all directions in the sky, yet there was no trace of their silhouettes. It was a truly ghastly experience. At that very moment, Zayn even wondered if Paxton and Caelum had already separated themselves from human boundaries and were close to being gods?However, he denied the idea soon afterward. It was impossible, but only because they were powerful to a certain extent and had way more control over their powers that they distracted the minds of the ot
Zayn felt rather touched in his heart. He looked at Lysithea and said, “As a member of Sicut In Caelo, aren’t you afraid that you’ll be punished by The Saint for doing this?”Lysithea shifted her gaze and said, “I grew up in the organization, so The Saint won’t kill me. However, you’re different. You’re the son of the previous Saintess, and you’re considered a disgrace to The Saint in a certain sense. He was planning on killing you from the start. You’d better run now!”Zayn said, “Lysithea, why do you care so much about me?”Lysithea paused for a moment with a look of uneasiness flashed past her face for a moment. She let out a grunt heavily and turned her head to the side. “Hmph. Don’t think too much of yourself. I’m only warning you out of respect for Aunt Hayley. What are you doing still standing there? Run, quickly! Are you trying to get yourself killed!?” she said, her lips uttering one thing although she clearly meant something else.Zayn shook his head and stated, “I won’t
The matter was considered resolved with Zayn defeating Raiden completely before killing the latter and contracting enmity with Sicut In Caelo. Zayn was supposed to be in the limelight for his brazen action, but in reality, his limelight was seized by Paxton ‘Ares’ Brookes and Caelum. Just as ripples spread out when a single pebble is dropped, Caelum showed up in the world again. Moreover, he engaged in a great battle with Paxton before injuring Paxton in the fight at last. It was absolutely explosive news that took the world by storm!A week passed, and the incident was still being constantly discussed in the circle. During this period of time, Zayn learned a lot. Even though the vast majority of topics were focused on the shocking battle between Caelum and Paxton, Zayn’s name was deeply etched in everyone’s minds as well. From now on, no one had the courage to take him lightly anymore. Even the members of the Insurgent Duofecta such as Jonah, Taio, and the others kept a low p
Next, the rest of the family members toasted their drinks to Zayn in succession. Even the senior members of the family joined as well. It was very apparent that Zayn was the mainstay of the Carters now. As the family patriarch, George was not sour about that at all. On the contrary, he was beaming in joy. He felt very gratified that he did not stop Zayn from marrying Faye in the past. Or else, their family would be doomed by now. Zayn was a blessing to the Carter family. “Yikes, don’t go too far, all of you. You’re taking turns to toast to Zayn. What do we do if you get Zayn drunk later?” Zayn’s mother-in-law, Ruby immediately chided in a displeased tone. She treasured Zayn like he was her precious now. Ever since his rise to success, she had lived a lavish life and was admired the most in her social circle these days. On the other hand, her privilege was all thanks to Zayn. Zayn chuckled and said, “It’s fine. I’m quite a good drinker. I won’t get drunk.”Indeed, he was right. T
Upon hearing that, Faye was startled. “Met with a mishap? Could it be that they’re in trouble again?!”Zayn nodded and said, “Perhaps. It’s possible.”Faye immediately became concerned, but the other members of the Carter family were not worried. Howard chuckled and said, “Surely it’s not so serious. The young lads are not fools. They will certainly mention your name if they get into trouble. Unless whoever they’re dealing with has been living under a rock, nobody would dare do them any harm.”George nodded as well. He appeared relaxed and did not seem bothered at all. “Howard’s right. No one in all of Waltz City has the courage to do anything to us unless they have a death wish. Speaking of which, Zayn, it’s all thanks to you! Come, I’ll raise a toast to you too.”As he spoke, George stood up and raised a glass to Zayn. He assumed a rather respectful, submissive posture. Frankly, upon witnessing the scene, Zayn felt rather frustrated. He decided he should not meet with the Carte
Zayn thought about this before, but at that point, he did not have the time nor energy to make the proper arrangements. Judging by the situation, it would be necessary.Otherwise, cleaning up this mess would only lead to another and it would be very troublesome for him. Hence, Zayn said plainly, “Where are Thomas, Archer, and the others? I’ll head over there at once.”The Carters were relieved to hear that. As long as they had Zayn taking up the matter, every issue could be solved. Howard shook his head and said, “I don’t know. They didn’t mention that in the phone call…”Zayn said, “Call them again and ask.”“Alright.” Howard nodded. Just as he was about to make the call, his phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, he immediately said to Zayn, “It’s from Thomas!”Zayn nodded and told him, “Answer and put it on speaker.”Howard obeyed Zayn's order and put the call on speaker. A familiar voice came from the phone immediately. “Save me, Howard! They’re going to chop our hands and l
“Huh, you make it sound like you're someone important.” The voice spoke in a bantering tone, “Sure. You think you’re so very grand, don’t you? I’m going to give you twenty minutes to get to my location. However, don’t blame me for not showing due respect to your feelings and throw these good-for-nothings in the river to feed the fish if you take more than that.”Saying that, the man hung up without giving Zayn a chance to speak. “What? Twenty minutes! Waltz City is so huge, not even God can locate someone within twenty minutes!”“What should we do then? Judging by his tone, he seems to be very keen on hurting Thomas and the others.”“Zayn, you’re the most capable person among us. Please come up with a plan…”The entire Carter family was scared out of its wits and Zayn was their only hope. Zayn furrowed his brows ever so slightly. He could tell from the call that the man came from a powerful background and did not bother to show him the slightest respect. Indeed, It was rather
