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
Upon saying that, Zayn left right away. Three minutes had already passed in the meantime. He had to be at Eastbridge within seventeen minutes. It was an unimaginable task for an ordinary person. The linear distance from their location to Eastbridge was close to fifty kilometers!However, it was not a difficult feat for Zayn. In truth, based on his current speed, it would take him less than seventeen minutes to be there. A perfect-class master fighter was no joke.He hurriedly headed to the rooftop and entered his running mode.The trendy terminology for this was known as parkour. Any young person with a good physique and the necessary courage would be able to do it. Meanwhile, Zayn’s method was akin to levitation. He leaned his body forward and charged as fast as he could. Every leap he made took him over a hundred meters ahead, and his top speed was close to the speed of sound. If anyone were to notice him, they would only see a figure flashing past. There was no way to t
Unsurprisingly, they were beaten savagely for speaking up. “Facing your death, but still so stubborn? You fools don’t know what’s coming!”The young men standing in the center appeared to be spoiled rich kids. They were supremely arrogant and looked down upon everything else as if they were the lords of Rheasia who could rule over the country with impunity. They were having a good time thrashing Thomas and the others so badly. It felt decadent and delightful for them when they heard their captives cry out in agony and plead for mercy. They were in Guineve for a trip and behaved arrogantly the whole time. They had two master fighters with them, so they were pretty much capable of doing whatever they desired. They happened to bump into Thomas’ new girlfriend and set their sights on her. They took liberties with the girl, and Thomas could not possibly stand around doing nothing. He gave the man a slap right then and there, but the group immediately pinned him down for his troubles.
