As it happened, at that moment, a car came at full speed from the left. Sienna was standing by the side of the road, so she did not notice it. It was about to crash into her, so Zayn did not dare to hesitate and immediately ran over. Wrapping his arm around Sienna’s slender waist, he spun 180 degrees and saved her one second before the car arrived. The car braked to a stop in front and rolled down its window. A man stuck out his head and yelled, “F*ck you! You didn’t check before you crossed the street and you’re standing by the side! Are you trying to get yourself killed?!”The man broke out in a torrent of abuse while Sienna’s face was ghastly pale. She appeared to be scared out of her wits. Zayn was already not in a good mood, so he immediately glared at the man ferociously and said coldly, “Go ahead and say another word!”Zayn’s burning blaze was terrifying beyond comparison. Even a Tier-4 master fighter would find Zayn’s look scary, let alone an ordinary man. The man was s
It was fine when Zayn did not say anything, but as soon as he spoke, Sienna started bawling even more. “I’m going to tell my grandpa that you bullied me, waaah…” Sienna sobbed and Zayn could feel a shiver down his spine. “Hey, didn’t I say that I was only joking with you earlier? Why are you taking it so seriously? Aren't you supposed to have a good sense of humor?” Zayn said helplessly. Sienna continued to sob and said, “No one has ever accused me of being shameless before. You’re the first to say that and you’ve hurt my pride…”“Sigh… Miss, will you please stop crying?” Sienna had thoroughly defeated Zayn this time. He was hastily trying to console her, but he actually had no skill for comforting a crying woman. “If you want me to stop crying, you have to promise me one thing,” said Sienna. Zayn hurriedly said, “Anything, as long as you’ll stop crying.”They were still on a major street and Barrow Cove was right ahead. Even though Faye was not coming home, perhaps he woul
“That’s right,” said Zayn. Sienna appeared to be caught in a daze upon hearing the answer. Given her own experiences and mentality, She could not understand Zayn’s thinking. Was there really anything more terrifying than death in this world?She then asked, “Does your wife agree with you on this?”“She does.” Zayn nodded without the slightest hesitation. Zayn said, “Alright, it’s getting late. You should head back.”Sienna still felt battered out of her senses. In the end, she bit her lower lip tightly and stared straight at Zayn while she said, “Then, you must promise me that you’ll live! Can you do that?”“Sure.” Zayn nodded and took on the task. In reality, he had never thought he would die. He had not been all that confident of surviving before, after forming his great power, he was just a step away from the invincibility state. Given that, what more was there for him to worry about?What difference did fighting against seven opponents during the top eight finalists’ match
By that point, the Martial Arts Cup was halfway complete and two thirds of the fighters had been eliminated. The remaining contestants were all true powerhouses. In fact, all acquired fighters had all been eliminated, leaving only master fighters!When Zayn became a master fighter, he assumed that there were very few master fighters in the world and that he was one in a million. However, as his knowledge of the field deepened, his perspective broadened and he learned that his thinking in the past showed how narrow-minded he was. There were many talented people in the world. In addition, technology was advancing as the human population grew. As a result, the number of master fighters was increasing steadily. Perhaps there were not that many master fighters in Rheasia, but there were a lot of them in the entire world. It was because of the high number of master fighters that the Martial Arts Cup was such an important event that year and had become the center of attention. By t
The outcome of the Martial Arts Cup that year might have been tragic if not for Zayn’s presence. Never mind becoming the champion, they would not even make it to the top 16 finalists. On the other hand, Zayn had also noticed that two of the five master fighters were Ezekiel and Xion. They had registered themselves as well. “Both of you really registered?” Zayn asked in astonishment upon seeing their arrival. Ezekiel and Xion stood before him and appeared to be rather embarrassed. After all, they had made fools of themselves before him quite recently. They witnessed Zayn’s might over the days… No, it could be said that Zayn was on a completely different level compared to the rest of them. Even though Zayn was much younger than them, they had already lost the hostility and contempt that they had shown him before. They had come to regard Zayn only with respect and admiration. “Sergeant Larson!”“Sergeant Larson!”Both of them saluted Zayn, greeting him loudly. Zayn smiled
Zayn still wanted to say something, but Ezekiel had already walked into the ring, swaggering with heroic mannerism and confidence. Other than feeling a little nervous, he was even more excited and buzzed to be involved in an unprecedentedly grand competition. He felt as if he was in a fighting anime as he was immersed in a wave of strong patriotism. He felt as if he was a youth trying to unleash his full potential in the martial arts cup so that he could win back the glory of Rheasia!Even though Ezekiel was already 30 years old, he had always enjoyed watching anime since he was young. He felt like a determined young man in junior high with a dream to save the world. Even though the current situation was not as grand as saving the world, he was still fighting for his country. He could not possibly allow himself to give up or cower!In truth, he had taken part in a match a few days ago, but his opponent at the time was just an acquired fighter. He had yet to be paired with a maste
Zayn said, “It’s not that I’m not optimistic about him either but the situation is not as favourable as we’ve imagined.”Dick said with a smile, “That may not necessarily be that case in my perception. Ezekiel did pretty well in the few rounds of matches he took part in previously. He is considered quite impressive amongst the younger fighters. Moreover, I checked his opponent’s stats and achievements, and he should be no match for Ezekiel as long as Ezekiel doesn’t underestimate him.”Axton nodded as well and said, “That’s right. Moreover, Ezekiel looks like he is in good condition now, so he should be able to perform extraordinarily when the time comes. I believe that our country will be winning this match triumphantly and it’s going to boost our reputation!”Zayn figured that it was inappropriate for him to comment further after realizing how optimistic they were. After all, he could not possibly make Ezekiel withdraw from the match even if he found Ezekiel to be no match for h
“Oh, no! That man feigned his weakness on purpose!”In an instant, a voice was heard in Ezekiel’s mind. Suddenly, it seemed like the opponent’s gaze was extremely ferocious. It was utterly not how a newbie should look!Moreover, he heard the contestant speak in poor Rheasian language, “You, are tricked.”From the spectators’ seating area, Zayn noticed the situation at once which made him frown even more. However, he still refrained from speaking out to remind Ezekiel. After all, he would be breaking the rules if he were to do so. He hoped that Ezekiel would come to realize by himself and create a miracle. It sounded like a long process, but it happened quickly. It happened in a brief moment. There were numerous people at the scene, but no one managed to realize it other than Zayn that the scrawny-looking contestant had actually concealed his ability and placed Ezekiel in danger. Ezekiel’s punch was aimed toward the contestant’s face at a speed that could be described as ligh
