“We demand a proper explanation!” Dick took a step forward and unleashed his powerful presence of a third-tier master fighter. Even though he was not as impressive as Zayn, his power was not weak after all, and he could still exert a powerful overbearingness over these ordinary foreign fighters. Hence, as they could immediately sense the immense pressure created from Dick’s overbearingness, they could not help feeling nervous and alarmed. They stood in a formation prepared for the impending fight and stared at Dick closely. Meanwhile, a tall and huge silhouette stepped forward to the area under the ring. The person leapt into the air in just a few swift movements before landing steadily in the ring. He stood before Dick and said coldly, “Dick, are you terrorizing my people with your authority?”Dick immediately frowned at the sight of the tall and huge silhouette although there was also dread in his eyes. “Solato! What are you trying to say here? The foreign contestant beat a figh
Dick felt himself blushing with shame upon hearing these voices. However, he did not feel displeased or jealous at all. On the contrary, he considered himself lucky and felt proud of Zayn. There was hope for Rheasia to regain its glory with a man like Zayn. As a Rheasian, he was delighted. As for the foreigners, including Solato, their presence weakened substantially in the presence of Zayn. In fact, many of them had even taken a step back and lost the courage to meet Zayn’s eyes. It was as if Zayn was some prehistoric monster that stirred fear in them instinctively. Solato was a perfect-class master fighter too, after all. In addition, Zayn had yet to expose his full presence yet, and that was why Solato still had the courage to look Zayn in the eyes. “Hmph, Zayn Larson. As the organizing committee of the martial arts cup, are you planning on breaking the rules?”Zayn disregarded him and walked toward Mateo and Theo’s corpses instead. He tipped his head to the deceased to show hi
Despite it being a nonchalant remark, it made Solato’s body shake in fear upon hearing it. He felt as if a bucket of ice water was poured over his head, making his entire body turn icy cold. He was shuddering so violently that his brain stopped functioning!Before this, he had never been in the presence of Zayn alone, thus he did not admire him despite being made aware of his reputation. He assumed that Zayn was only one rank higher than him no matter how formidable he was. Yet, he was completely experiencing the terror of Zayn at this exact moment. He understood why so many perfect-class master fighters would dread Zayn so much that they would join hands to deal with him together!It was just a simple remark, yet it rendered Solato incapable of speaking anymore. He did not have the courage to look Zayn in the eyes further, let alone oppose Zayn. The foreign contestant was not supposed to apologize because he had not broken any rules. It was Zayn who forced the foreign contestant
At this very moment, they could feel the weight on Zayn’s chest. They could feel his guilt, his shame, and his loneliness. The heavy burden of the entire Rheasia was weighing down on him alone, and he was needed to save Rheasia’s reputation. He was under immense pressure at this very moment, but he was also impeccably lonely. Someone immediately stepped forward in long strides and said aloud, “Sergeant Larson, there’s no need for you to feel shame or guilt. You’re not alone either! You’re not the only man in Rheasia一you have us too! If they want to fight us to the death, we will meet them head-on! Since they have the nerve to do so, we won’t ever admit defeat either! We’re going to see who’s going to come out even stronger!”“He’s right! I think so too! Before I enrolled in the martial arts cup, I was just an ordinary fighter from Rheasia. Had it not been for the martial arts cup event, I'd still be an extremely average Joe in a crowd of people. Even if I’m filled with righteousness
Those perfect-class master fighters who were still complaining initially calmed down in the meantime. They were indeed afraid of Zayn, but it did not mean that they would lose all rationality. In truth, they immediately realized something after listening to Solomon’s explanation earlier. Those two Rheasian fighters that had been beaten to death earlier were small fries in truth. Zayn was not acquainted with them, and that was why it did not come as a crushing blow to him. It was only an appetizer. Next, more and more Rheasian fighters would be competing, and they were mostly related to Zayn. After all, those Rheasian fighters who were acquainted with Zayn had yet to compete. They decided to place the focus on those special agents from the Insurgent Trifecta when they discussed it in the meeting because they found out that Zayn held the position of chief instructor in the Insurgent Trifecta. In addition to that, he trained all the special agents in the organization with quite a
Nonetheless, he was already feeling very unpleasant in his heart just thinking about it. After all, he had been born and raised in Rheasia and he had a heart of honor for his country. He could not remain indifferent while he watched his people die before him while he did nothing. In the final analysis, Zayn was never an indifferent person. He was highly emotional, hot-blooded, passionate and impetuous. Otherwise, he would not have gone as far as he had now. He opened his eyes, nodded, and said, “I shall give it a try then.”Joe and the others felt that it was inappropriate for them to comment further. Next, the competition went on. Zayn did as he promised earlier. He did not cower or leave the scene even when he was not taking part in the competition. He remained watching from the spectators’ seating area all this time. As the day went on, a dozen Rheasian fighters were beaten to death already in the ring. Eight of them had the opportunity to surrender, but they chose not to
Apart from both of them, many people were looking at Zayn as well. They were looking at the most powerful fighter of this martial arts cup event who was also the only hope of the entire Rheasia simultaneously. Who was emotionally crushed the most after witnessing a dozen fighters die in the ring today? It would be Zayn. There was a saying that with great power comes great responsibility. As the most powerful Rheasian fighter in this year’s martial arts cup, as well as the perfect-class master fighter who had just brewed his great power successfully and was one step away from becoming a super invincibilis powerhouse, he was emotionally crushed after witnessing his people being beaten to death while he did nothing!Under the close watch of everyone else, Zayn stood over there like a statue without budging at all. With no expression on his face, there was no telling what he was thinking in his mind. However, one thing was for sure一Zayn felt awful in his heart. At last, Zayn did s
Zayn continued to say, “Don’t worry. I won’t disappoint all of you. Otherwise, how would I have the nerve to face our people who fought bravely to their death?”He said it in a very relaxed manner and there was even a wide smile on his face. However, everyone could not bring themselves to smile upon hearing his remark because they could sense the pressure Zayn was enduring. Indeed, Zayn was carrying the burden of the entire country’s hope. If he were to fail at becoming the champion, how bad would the repercussions be? It was highly possible that he would be rebuked and would be named the country's number one offender!It was just like how a Rheasian athlete, who won the championship for Rheasia countless times previously and was honored yet failed to score well at an important international competition due to health issues, and as a result, he was criticized by the whole country. Ultimately, he turned from the national hero to the worst offender instantly. On the other hand, Zay
