Meanwhile, Zayn was meditating in his room. He purposely did not project his consciousness. With his power, that would have allowed him to hear everything in the mansion.Thus, he was completely unaware of Bryson and Jasmine’s growing misunderstanding. If he had known, it would have left him feeling gloomy and dejected.That being said, such a trivial matter would not have made a huge difference to him.At his current state, he had already transcended from mundane pleasures. Flirtatious relationships and gossip no longer meant anything.He was in the pursuit of martial arts perfection. Of course, this did not mean he had lost the concept of love. He was still taking the responsibility of Faye and Shaelyn seriously. It was only that his goals had slowly transformed.For him, Sienna was just a passerby in his life. He dreaded the Hoffmans even more, but that did not mean they had earned much respect. They were an extremely powerful and influential family that could even be t
After breakfast, Antony said cheerfully, “Did you sleep well, Sergeant Larson?”Placing his cutlery down, Zayn nodded with a smile and said, “Hmm, I had a good rest. There’s a charming ambiance to this place that nowhere else has, so no bad energy can creep inside. Being here feels especially tranquil.”Sienna immediately said, “Bootlicker.”Antony immediately glared at her and said, “Silly girl, is this how you speak?”Sienna averted her gaze and behaved disapprovingly. The act of teasing Zayn had already turned into a habit for her. Naturally, Zayn would not lower himself to her level. Moreover, he was well aware of her personality from the start. Zayn was only telling the truth and not attempting to suck up to Antony. The Hoffmans could be described as the most prestigious family in all k Rheasia. Anyone would feel peaceful when staying there. In fact, he suspected that staying there long-term would improve his martial arts training as he absorbed the building’s regal elegan
Zayn had mentally prepared himself to join the competition when he came to Yando City, but he did not expect to learn about the flaw in Ares’ training technique or that the man would be left vulnerable occasionally. Meanwhile, Ares’s weakened state was fast approaching. The other invincibilis fighter in Rheasia, Saint Caelum, was the self-declared king of his own organization. Strictly speaking, Caelum was not considered a Rheasian citizen, so he would not necessarily respond in the event of the county being targeted by other nations. Thus, Rheasia was in a critical situation.There would have been some time for the country to prepare had it not been for the winner’s prize at the Martial Arts Cup. With that, Rheasia could not procrastinate anymore. If someone else were to end up being the champion, a new invincibilis fighter would be produced in another country and the division of power would not become unbalanced. Rheasia could not allow such a thing to occur. Zayn nodded
However, neither Antony nor Bryson answered Zayn. Instead, they chuckled bitterly. Zayn was no fool and immediately realized that there was some issue with Apollo Owen. It was highly possible that Apollo was not qualified to take part in the Martial Arts Cup.He voiced his query, “Is it that Apollo Owen is not a Rheasian?”Only Rheasian citizens were allowed to represent the country in the competition. Even someone of shared heritage could not qualify.The martial arts cup was a competition between countries and lineages. “That’s not the case.” Antony shook his head. He paused before he continued, “Apollo Owen is a Rheasian, but something happened that caused him to have a mental breakdown three years ago. He is now institutionalized in a special psychiatric hospital.”Zayn was astonished to hear this. Based on his understanding, at the perfect class, a master fighter would possess great intelligence and willpower. How would a person like that end up with a mental disorder?It
They then went over some details, and when it was about time, Zayn prepared to bid farewell. Just as he was about to leave the mansion, Sienna called out to him and said with her expression overwhelmed with complex emotions, “Zayn, are you going to take part in the Martial Arts Cup?”Zayn was not surprised to learn that Sienna was aware of the matter. He did not attempt to hide anything and nodded gracefully, saying, “That’s right.”Sienna bit her lower lip tightly and stared at him intensely. After a long while, she said, “You must be careful and take care of your safety then. Stay alive.”“Hmm.” Zayn nodded nonchalantly. He then waved, turned around, and left. However, Sienna called out to him before he could walk farther. “Zayn Larson!”“Hmm?”Zayn looked at her in confusion.Strangely, Sienna did not speak anymore. She only stared at him for a long while before shaking her head, implying that there was nothing else. Zayn rolled his eyes and felt that Sienna was foolin
They stumbled along and made their way to Zayn, glaring at him ferociously, their eyes filled with rage and confusion. They did not even manage to see how Zayn vanished and they had no idea how they lost control of their vehicle when they were obviously about to crash into Zayn already!Zayn did not leave either. He stood on the same spot waiting for them to walk over. Seeing the faces of the two young men, he could confirm that these two young men were from Yando City’s upper class. “How dare you trick us! You’re going to get yourself killed!”“You’re dead!”They pointed at Zayn and scolded him rudely as they made their way over to him. They were wildly conceited and aggressive. Moreover, judging by their behavior, arrogance was their natural state and they thought Yando City was their personal playground. Any ordinary person in Zayn’s place would not have been able to dodge the vehicle and would have been killed on the spot from the impact.Zayn looked at them nonchalantl
It had already been a very long time since someone threatened Zayn’s family to get to him, and he had always loathed the people who used such tactics. His family would always be his trigger and anyone who triggered his anger would be eliminated!Thus, when Tyron and those rich kids chose to do so, Zayn was infuriated.He had not given much thought to Tyron before because he was just a spoiled brat far below him, no matter how powerful his family was. In fact, Tyron was just like a child to Zayn, so why would a man get into a fight with a little boy? Moreover, Zayn’s relationship with Sienna was innocent from the start. Conversely, Tyron had taken the initiative like a mischievous child eager to get himself into trouble. Zayn would not mind helping the parents of these rich kids to teach the brats a good lesson after they made mistakes. “Threatening my family? Very well. I believe it’s been a long time since anyone had the audacity to threaten me. Not bad, all of you, not bad.” Za
It sounded unpleasant but other than the two invincibilis fighters Ares and Caelum, no one else in all of Rheasia was a match for him. That was why he was dismissive of all others. After he became the champion of the Martial Arts Cup, he would get the opportunity to visit Shangri-la. When he successfully reached the invincibilis state, he could practically rule Rheasia, so he would be even more dismissive at that point.In truth, there was utterly no need for him to deal with these rich kids and he would only have to notify Antony about this incident. He believed that these spoiled brats would immediately leave in dejection and stop making trouble for him. However, he did not do so because it was unnecessary and that was not how he handled things. Moreover, he was infuriated, and he would not be able to vent his anger without punishing these horrid twerps!These two young men drove steadily and they arrived at the destination not that far away in about twenty minutes.
