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
On the other hand, in everybody else’s eyes, his reaction was seen as a madman’s behavior. To them, Zayn was not thinking straight. Those people that Zayn had beaten earlier were getting up one by one in the meantime. While they glared at him with hatred and anger, they did not have the courage to attack him anymore now because they knew how skillful he was. They would only end up bringing disgrace to themselves.At the same time, they began to make calls so that they could get their hatchet men to come over. Given that Zayn made them his punching bags today, they would not possibly leave this matter be in view of their temperament. If Zayn had still been the second heir of the Larsons in the past, there was nothing else they could do when they got beaten up. After all, their families were still less powerful than the Larsons. Nevertheless, what did Zayn have compared to them now that he was just a disowned blemish to the family?For them not to seek revenge would be strange!Ro
It was none other than Luke Jones’ subordinate. He was part of a gang and he held a rather respectable position in the organization. He had met Zayn on a few occasions before and always treated Zayn with the utmost respect. In front of Zayn, he was more obedient than an elementary school student in fear of provoking the latter’s anger if he were to behave inappropriately. The reason why Zayn remembered him was that his flattery was indeed impressive. Zayn had never expected that this lad would be sent to rescue Duncan. It was truly a coincidence. Zayn was still under the assumption that Duncan had sought help from his Storm family members. He reckoned that he would call Luke up straightforwardly then so that Luke could come over and join him in showing off. It seemed that his plan was unnecessary judging by the situation now. Duncan cracked a flattering smile on his face instantly when he saw who it was. He hastily walked over in quick strides to welcome the person and said wit
