Zayn was startled. He had been enthusiastic and passionate, but upon sensing Faye’s disappointment, he felt a lump in his throat as his mood was dampened. “Didn’t I text you just now? You… didn’t see it?”Faye sighed. “I saw it.”She mocked herself mentally at the same time, ‘Faye, oh, Faye, what were you thinking? The chairman is a busy man. He makes several thousand dollars in a minute. How could he be concerned with someone insignificant like you?! Besides, he hasn’t looked for you since what happened that day. He’s probably forgotten you, yet here you are longing for him…’The more Faye thought about it, the worse she felt. It was as though a certain organ was being pulled out from within her!“Fifi, did they do you any harm?” Zayn asked in concern.She forced a smile and shook her head. “No.”“That’s good.” Zayn exhaled in relief.William wore a dark look after knowing that he was tricked. The person who had come was not the chairman of Violet Vision but a nobody! Once he r
By reflex, Faye was nervous and scared about the situation. However, she caught herself promptly as she thought that Zayn might really be able to save her since he seemed to be someone capable of fighting.Zayn gripped his fists, staring at the approaching bodyguard icily. If the bodyguard dared to make a move, he vowed that he was going to knock him down in the shortest time possible!To be honest, he was enraged. He was furious about William—how dare the scum take advantage of Faye?! He was also infuriated by Howard—as Faye’s elder cousin, this garbage was unforgivable for not protecting her and even cornering her!Then, there was another rap on the door from behind them that broke the tension in the room.William frowned, further displeased, as he exclaimed, “Who’s at the door now? Are all these interruptions going to even stop?!”He was not a man of patience. Assuming that he would get to get it on with Faye easily today, it turned out to be a troublesome process that drained
Currently, however, Nathan Sullivan was making him feel a sense of crisis for the first time.William was also stunned when he saw Nathan. His eyes widened at once, a cautious look flashing across his features.“Nathan, when did you come back to Waltz City? Didn’t you go abroad?” William asked.Flashing a grin, Nathan entered as he answered, “The grass on the other side isn’t greener, so I came back. Besides, I have people and things I can’t cut off here. Of course, I’m gonna be back.”When he said that, his gaze was trained on Faye blatantly while he was blind to Zayn who was beside her.It was just their first meeting, but Zayn could perceive that Nathan was a man who was extremely confident about himself—perhaps to the point of being conceited. He could totally feel that the man knew that he was there but had purposely remained oblivious to him to intimidate him. Interesting…Throughout the four years, Zayn had met countless love rivals, but Nathan here was the most capable on
“I see you have the gift of the gab,” Nathan chuckled.Smiling faintly, Zayn shrugged. “Just my honest thoughts. I’m surprised you see it as the gift of the gab.”When he heard this, Nathan squinted slightly. He scowled slightly, knowing that Zayn was mocking him for not understanding love. Just as he was about to counter, Faye spoke up, “Nate, this isn’t the place to talk. Let’s go.”Nathan nodded with a smile, replying to her tenderly, “As you wish.”Faye took two steps away and then turned back to tell William, “Mr. Brown, you're more than welcome if you sincerely wish to invest 15 million dollars in Neotech, but we hope such an important agreement happens at a formal venue and not a private domain like this.”William’s expression was stiff. He was peeved. How dare a b*tch like Faye talk back to him in that way?! With Nathan there, however, he dared not act as brazenly as he had been earlier. He glossed it over with a perfunctory chortle and had his guards escort them out.Whe
It was just that she could not speak the truth. She was not going to wound Zayn’s pride in front of any outsiders. For whatever it was worth, Zayn was still her husband in name.“Pretty good,” Faye answered with a smile.“You’re lying.” Nathan stopped walking to stare directly at Faye, wanting to peer into her heart through her eyes. His brazen gaze flustered Faye. She dared not look him in the eye and did not face him.Nathan heaved a long sigh. “It’s all my fault. I wasn’t mature enough back then and left just like that, leading you to put yourself into an unhappy marriage! It’s my fault. Don’t worry, though. I’m back now. I won’t let you suffer anymore.”As he said that, Nathan reached for Faye’s hand right in front of Zayn! He was basically paying no respect to him. Despite his good temper, Zayn was furious. Taking a step forward, he grabbed Nathan’s hand and spoke with a deep menacing tone, “Keep your hands to yourself.”With his wrist caught, Nathan was taken aback when
“You can speak now,” Faye said softly.Nathan gazed tenderly at Faye as he said, “Fifi, I’ve regretted every day of the past four years. Every day, I missed you. Now that I’m finally back, I’m not leaving you again.”Faye’s eyes were flickering. The minute changes in her expression were evidence of her fluctuating emotions. In the end, she sighed and replied, “Nate, don’t say things like that anymore. I’m married now.”“No! I’m saying it!” Nathan insisted. “Fifi, I know that you don’t love him. You guys have even been sleeping separately since you got married. I can see it in your eyes. You don’t love him. You’ve been waiting for my return!”Faye went silent. Nathan was right. She did not love Zayn. Nevertheless, he had also misjudged something else. Faye corrected him, “You’re wrong. I wasn’t waiting for you to come back.”Nathan answered with a grin, “You’re lying. Why would you be keeping yourself chaste if you weren’t waiting for me? Fifi, don't worry. Now that I’m back, I’ll
”That’s great! I’ll tell Grandpa right now. He’ll be over the moon for sure!” Faye said and was about to fish out her phone.“I have one condition, though,” Nathan said smiling as he stopped Faye with a gentle touch on her hand.Faye frowned and instinctively recoiled. She recalled the dreadful moment when William gave his one condition.“Nate, if it’s something over the line like William’s, you can forget about it,” Faye’s tone grew quite frosty.Knowing that she had got the wrong idea from her reaction, Nathan hurriedly explained, “Fifi, you’ve misunderstood me. I didn’t mean that! I just want you to have a meal with me. That’s all!”Faye was stunned. “Just a meal?”“What else?!” Nathan asked, feigning annoyance. “Fifi, we’ve known each other for so long. Do you still not know who I am? Or do you really think that I’m someone despicable like William?”Faye flushed, embarrassed that she had misinterpreted him. She apologized, “Sorry for the misunderstanding, Nate.”“It’s fine…
Zayn was not upset by Nathan’s mockery, of course. He was used to being insulted and misunderstood by others. “Nathan, it seems that you’ve come prepared and you’ve already looked into me in detail. I believe that Fifi’s presence in William’s villa was according to your plan too, was it not? You appeared right when Fifi was in need of rescue and swooped in to save her like a guardian angel. Naturally, she would shed tears of gratitude and promise to give herself to you after that. I admit, it was a good plan.”Upon hearing that, Faye’s expression immediately changed ever so slightly. She was a no fool, so she immediately saw the meaning behind Zayn’s words. In truth, Nathan had already known that she would be in a dangerous situation at William’s place and would need someone to save her. Thus, he bided his time and only showed up at the crucial moment so she would be grateful to him. Most importantly, she would want to repay him for such a feat!Nathan’s pupils constricted instantl
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
