Johansson knew that his international reputation would certainly be ruined had he chosen not to attend the party tonight. Everyone would assume that he was too scared to show up after being beaten up by the Rheasian! By then, not only would Johansson’s reputation be ruined but so would Murica’s reputation too. Thus, he could not allow that to happen regardless. He brought along a group of subordinates to head to the party that night. The party was held for the foreign martial arts organizations with the exception of Rheasia. Other than Muricans, there were people from a few other countries as well. By the time Johansson arrived, his presence drew the attention of many people instantly. “Look, Johansson actually showed up.”“Heh, it really is him. Didn’t he get beaten up by Rheasian to the point that he’d be too scared to show up? How does he get the courage to come here?”“Haha, I assumed that he had already turned into a coward after hiding for ten days. I didn’t expect th
The 20% increment was a drastic improvement. Wellington furrowed his brows ever so slightly. If Johansson’s power had increased by 20% for real, it was possible that he was no match for Johansson. One should know that he used to tower over Johansson slightly in the past. He had been one rank higher than Johansson on the international skilled fighters’ ranking list. Now that Johansson’s power had increased by 20%, did it mean that Johansson had surpassed him?All at once, he felt dejected. It was at this moment when a voice was heard coming from the crowd. “So what if there has been a 20% increment? You still got crushed by a Rheasian. Johansson, you’ve disgraced Murica, tsk-tsk.”When the remark was spoken, a silhouette stepped forward immediately. It was a man with an average-sized figure, but he exuded a powerful presence. One could tell at one glance that he was no ordinary person. The rest of the people tittered at Johansson upon hearing the statement. They assumed that
The entire scene quieted down instantly for just a moment following Johansson’s remark. Everyone looked at him with a strange, mocking gaze. “Haha, Johansson. I think that you must’ve been petrified from being beaten up by the Rheasian! You’re actually boasting about the Rheasian. I didn’t expect that you'd be convinced by a Rheasian despite being a skilled Murican fighter. Haha, you’ve truly boosted the reputation of your country with your action, eh?!”Someone began ridiculing Johansson instantly without showing any courtesy in his choice of words. “Johansson, oh, Johansson, you’re a 5S-class transhuman after all, yet you’re terrified of just a measly Rheasian after getting beaten up by him. Tsk-tsk, you’re the shame of our 5S-class transhumans! You’ve not only disgraced your country but us too,” Kairo said in a mocking tone without any courtesy. They refused to believe Johansson’s claim and assumed that he was only making up an excuse to cover up his failure. Or else, he was sc
It could be described as a competition on the grandest of scales. On the other hand, the force that was present here was something that should never be taken lightly at all. If these people were to cause destruction, the power they could produce was no weaker than that of an atomic bomb!Therefore, a country would never host the martial arts cup on its own grounds without absolute strength and confidence because the risk was truly way too great!If these fighters were to riot, they had the ability to turn a city into hell in a heartbeat.Other than the country’s impressive strength, Rheasia had the courage to host the competition because of one other important reason. They had the invincibilis fighter, Ares, and he alone had the ability to control more than a thousand fighters!Moreover, Ares was not the only invincibilis fighter in truth. There was also Caelum the Saint who was even more formidable than Ares!Even though Caelum did not serve the government, he was still a Rheas
All at once, the Rheasians furrowed their brows ever so slightly. Then, Joe Pennywise stepped forward and said, “Mr. Vilin, are you referring to Sergeant Larson? I’m sorry, but he is preoccupied today, so he can’t be here.”Indeed, Zayn was still in isolation training. He did not show up for the opening ceremony today because his presence was not needed. Ares had already arrived at Waltz City in conjunction with the ceremony and was monitoring the scene in the dark, so there was utterly no need for Zayn. He supported Zayn’s decision to engage in training because he understood the importance of the martial arts cup and the fact that the event was held in Waltz City. He was certain that his superior would do anything they could to ensure that the first spot belonged to Rheasia!Glory was one of the advantages, but the main attraction was the opportunity to visit Shangri-la. If Zayn could go to Shangri-la, it signified that he stood a chance of making a breakthrough in his training to
General King went right down to the heart of the matter. Even though he was just a consul general, his intelligence quotient was phenomenal. In addition, he had been in high office for a long time, so his ability was not something that ordinary people could compare to. At once, Kairo’s expression changed drastically upon hearing that. There was a tinge of unnaturalness that flashed across his face for a moment. General King had hit the nail right on the head. His motive for coming here was partially fuelled by cowardice. Of course, he could not possibly admit that though. He let out a grunt heavily and said, “A coward? What a joke! I, Kairo Vilin, have killed more Rheasians than I can count. Other than Ares, there are no capable men in Rheasia. What’s there for me to be cowardly of?”“You!”His remark was so arrogant and exaggerated. Moreover, it was made at a scene like this, in the witness of so many Rheasians. It triggered the anger of all the Rheasians instantly, including
In a bustling cafe with a sea of customers, a man, who could only be labeled as being far from handsome, was seated in a corner, dressed in plain clothes. He had his eyes shut to rest. He was seated over there, but his presence did not affect the customers at all. In fact, the numerous customers in the cafe did not even pay much attention to him. It was as if he was just a statue without much sense of existence. He was none other than Zayn. Moreover, he was there not purely for the beverage but was in isolation training. If someone else were to notice that, the person would certainly be shocked. One should know that the vast majority of people chose to engage in isolation training in a quiet, secluded place without any distractions. It was because isolation training prioritized one’s focus to enable one’s mind to work at full speed!Moreover, one would always be in the weakest state during the isolation training, so one must look for an absolutely safe and quiet location in
“I don’t know. There are always weirdos in this world.”“Is he pretending to be cool so that he can attract beautiful chicks?”“F*ck, how’s that possible? How can a man without money or looks attract chicks in today’s world? Do you think that you’re living in a romance novel or something?”“You’re right…”Even though Zayn was in meditation, he could still hear the voices of these people in the surroundings. It was a very intriguing feeling. It felt as if he was sitting in a mecha listening to the voices of these people. It did not feel real to him. The two beautiful girls looked at Zayn in astonishment upon hearing the discussion of these people. They did not expect that the ordinary-looking man would have been idling here for a few days. He exuded a feeling of mystery that piqued their curiosity beyond their control. They exchanged glances, then one of them attempted to ask, “Hey, do you have a napkin?”Zayn shook his head to indicate that he did not have one although he stil
