He cracked a meaningful smile instantly and said, “You’re already here anyway, so why are you leaving in such a hurry? You’re a friend of Rosie’s. As her fiance, I should entertain you properly!”He emphasized the word “entertain” on purpose while the smile on his face grew wider. The people at the scene who knew Duncan could tell he was furious and was planning on humiliating Zayn ferociously. These people were delighted to witness a situation like this because they resented Zayn from the start. It would be lovely for them to see him make a fool of himself!On the other hand, Zayn ignored Duncan and kept his eyes on Rosie the whole time. Frankly, he did not care about who Duncan was nor take him seriously. He was there purely out of respect for Rosie. However, he discovered he could no longer see the emotions that used to be in Rosie’s eyes. The woman was not the friend he knew before.He shook his head and heaved a sigh inwardly, feeling rather emotional for a moment. He then
Zayn did not even need eyes to see exactly what Duncan intended. He laughed to himself at such childish behavior. The truth was that he no longer had any feelings for Rosie.After a while, a man said to Zayn, “Zayn, I wonder if you’re a business owner now? How much do you make in a year?”When he asked this, the rest of the crowd began to smirk, obviously hoping to see Zayn make a fool of himself. They learned from Rosie that Zayn had been kicked out of the Larson family five years ago and was currently living in poverty. Naturally, they would not miss an opportunity to mercilessly mock Zayn for his misfortune. Zayn said, “I really have no idea how much I make in a year. It’s all handled by my subordinates.”Zayn was not lying because he had long since delegated his business affairs to others. Since he was not handling it, he did not know how much he made annually, but he could confirm that his annual income was astronomical. Even if they combined everything they made throughout
Rosie shook her head and assumed Zayn had lost his mind. He would rather suffer terribly in an attempt to boost his reputation. If he had the audacity to say something like that, there must have been something wrong with him.Duncan was laughing as well. Naturally, he did not think that Zayn was telling the truth. The Larson Group was such a formidable enterprise that even his family had tried to attach themselves to it. The chairman of the Larson Group was a godlike figure who was rumored to be an extremely powerful fighter with impeccable skills. The man was so unfathomably strong that he was beyond the understanding of ordinary people!On the other hand, Zayn was just an outcast from the Larson family living in poverty. He found the whole thing hilarious. He considered it to be a spark of joy in his life. He waved his hand dismissively to beckon the others to stop ridiculing Zayn. He then said, “That’s impressive. It seems we’ve misjudged you. I didn’t expect that you were t
The rest of the guests were looking at Zayn, gloating at his misfortune. They wanted to see how he would react. An ordinary man would certainly feel humiliated like never before under such circumstances. The crowd was hounding him mercilessly, so surely he would do something irrational. As soon as Zayn did something untoward, they would immediately continue to torment him. If he were to end up getting beaten, it would be considered a simple punishment. Zayn chuckled at the sight of how confident Duncan was. He was not planning on lowering himself to the man’s level because he did not have feelings for Rosie anymore. She was just a friend from the past to him.He would have been happy that Rosie had found someone she loved, but seeing the couple’s behavior left him disgusted.He laughed aloud and asked, “Is that so? What if I won’t? I wonder what you’d do to me?”Upon hearing that, Duncan’s expression grew even more solemn. He cracked a savage smile and took a step forward. The l
When he and Rosie were still best friends as kids, Zayn was the next heir to the Larson family fortune. Duncan was gloating because he had taken the woman that Zayn wanted, and it gave him great pleasure.Naturally, Zayn could read Duncan’s mind at a glance. Frankly, he did not care what the man thought, but he was very disappointed by Rosie. She had been such a good friend before, but she had become so materialistic and cynical.He shook his head and said, “Rosie, do you really think that I’m having such a hard time getting by after I left the Larsons? You and I grew up together as friends, so you're supposed to understand me very well. Do you truly think I’m so incompetent?Zayn’s gaze visibly moved Rosie, but she hurriedly shook her head. She assumed he was just struggling to save face at that point. If Zayn was genuinely doing well, he would not possibly be attending such an important dinner in that shabby outfit he was wearing!Moreover, he had not even driven there, which sho
Upon hearing that, many people walked toward Zayn in long strides by jostling and shoving one another instantly. Their faces were all filled with savage smiles. “Zayn is doomed. How dare he go against Storm? Isn’t he trying to get himself killed?!”“I can see that there must be something wrong with Zayn’s mind after living in abjection for the past few years. Otherwise, why would he do such a foolish thing?”“We’re up to witness something interesting. Tell me, do you think Zayn will bow down and beg for mercy by then?”“He will most certainly do so. How can he still get away after offending Storm?”“I’m going to take a video of it later for sure and post it to my Facebook. Haha…”The corner of Zayn’s lips curled up ever so slightly into a bantering smile. These people were actually trying to go hard on him. It was truly amusing. If that was the case, it was necessary for him to teach these people a darned good lesson. “Zayn, you piece of trash, I didn’t lower myself to your
The corner of Duncan’s lips curled up into an exaggerated arc. He could already imagine Zayn’s tragic state. How dare a disowned child of the Larson family retaliate in his presence? Zayn was simply looking to get himself killed!He had a hundred ways to ensure that Zayn would not be able to live in Waltz City anymore. Not an ounce of sentimental emotion could be seen in Rosie’s eyes now. There was only delight because she eagerly wanted to see Zayn being punished. Yet, what happened next startled everyone else. They were completely bewildered. Zayn did not budge as he stood in the same spot. His body moved with ease whilst he was being confronted by people coming at him from all directions. He seemed just like he was slapping flies. A few claps were heard, and in less than a minute, his ruthlessness rendered them to lie motionless on the ground. Moreover, he did it so cleanly and concisely. It was on a whole other level compared to the rest. It did not take long before the
Zayn would never take a weakling like this person seriously, of course. He cracked a smile when he noticed how Duncan still had the audacity to be so arrogant, then he peered down to the latter from above while he said, “Is that so? Am I doomed? I’d like to see what you can do to me.”Duncan had already lost his temper completely in the meantime, and rage was practically shooting out from his eyes. He had never been treated so wrongly in his life like today. As the heir of the Storm family, he held a prestigious status and had only ever been surrounded by people who admired him very much. If Zayn was still the second heir of the Larson family from before, he would still be qualified enough to quarrel with him. However, Zayn was just a disowned member, a deadbeat that even his own family did not want. Who did he think he was to go against and tried to punish Duncan!?Duncan swore to himself that he would certainly take proper revenge on Zayn. He wanted Zayn to die, and it had to be
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
