After work, he left his office to find Cristian standing at the doorway alone. Cristian was pacing about anxiously with a gift box in his hand.

Noticing Zayn’s presence, Cristian immediately expressed his pleasant surprise and walked over swiftly while saying, “Sir, I’m really sorry for today’s incident! This is an antique given to me as a gift from a fan some time ago. I heard that you enjoy collecting antiques, sir, so I brought it over today on purpose to present it to you. I hope that this will soothe your wrath so that you won’t feel angered by me!”

Zayn could tell that Cristian was very nervous judging by the way he blurted out everything in one breath. Moreover, he was presenting the gift box with both his hands.

He said, “There’s no need for the gift. There’s nothing between Yvonne and me, so you may go ahead and pursue her as you like. I won’t be angry at you either.”

Upon hearing that, Cristian became even more terrified. He could not be bothered to take care of his ima

    “Alright, alright, let’s not talk about this deadbeat anymore. Tell me more about Nathan. What’s going on and which Nathan is it?” Ruby asked eagerly. Faye glanced at Zayn on the sofa. She noticed he was still sleeping and did not seem to be bothered by the noise, so she began to speak, “It’s Nathan Sullivan from four years ago.”“Ah! It’s him, huh? I thought he left the country. Why is he back now?!” Ruby was pleasantly surprised and spoke in a gossipy manner, “Oh Fifi, Nathan still has feelings for you, doesn’t he? I heard that the Tenfy Co. is doing well now and they’re generating 30 to 40 million dollars in profit annually. If you were to marry him, you would enjoy endless wealth and glory.”“Mom! What nonsense are you talking about?! You’re unbelievable!” Faye was infuriated. She could not accept that her mother would treat her like a piece of merchandise. “What do you think I am? You wanted me to get close to Violet Vision’s chairman just a few days ago and now you want me to

    Seeing Nathan’s expression, Zayn figured out most of what was going through his mind. Without a word, he folded the blanket and went to wash up. Nathan gazed in the spot he had been and asked, “Mrs. Carter, was that Fifi’s husband?”Ruby said with great difficulty, “I suppose.”Sensing Ruby’s dissatisfaction with Zayn, Nathan felt even more elated. After he took a seat, he asked, “Did he quarrel with Fifi? Why is he sleeping in the living room?”He asked the question on purpose, of course. Ruby disdainfully replied, “How would he have the courage to quarrel with Fifi, huh? Although he and Fifi are married, his place in our family is so pitiful that he is literally the servant of our house. Fifi won’t allow him to sleep on a bed.”The smirk on Nathan’s face could not be concealed, but he feigned astonishment by saying, “Really? How is that possible? Is it because he and Fifi aren’t close?”“They’ve never been close. Frankly, he’s only here because he married into our family and l

    Upon hearing that, Nathan could not conceal his smile anymore, but he still replied pretentiously, “Oh, stop teasing, Mrs. Carter. Heh-heh, how can a man like me deserve to marry Fifi, huh?”At that point, Zayn happened to walk out after washing up. He chimed in by saying, “It’s true that you don’t deserve her.”When he said that, Nathan’s expression changed drastically while Ruby turned around to glare at Zayn, shouting, “Shut up, Zayn! This is not your place to talk. Go back to the room at once!”Zayn acted as if he had not heard Ruby’s order and took a seat next to Faye. Waine also glared at Zayn ferociously. With a chuckle, he said to Nathan, “Nate, Zayn is not good with his words. Don’t mind him.”“Heh-heh, don’t worry, Mr. Carter. I’m a magnanimous person, so why would I be bothered by him?”“That’s great then, that’s great.”Nathan looked at Zayn disdainfully. His eyes were clearly saying, ‘You piece of trash, who do you think you are to go against with me?’Zayn smiled

    “What? Is that the Magpie’s Treasure Nest?”Upon hearing that, Waine’s reaction was quite overblown. Eyes wide, he stood up swiftly and stared directly at Nathan. Ruby was delighted by the surprise as well. Her jaw dropped so low that she could swallow a fist. Faye was startled. Although she did not know antiques, she could tell it was an antique clock and certainly not a cheap one!She remembered watching a television show about antiquities where they showcased a Magpie’s Treasure Nest that was worth a few million. Nathan had actually spent that much money just to flatter her?She was immediately shocked and felt a strange stirring in her heart.Zayn furrowed his brows ever so slightly. It seemed that Nathan’s pursuit of Faye was his top priority. A genuine antique clock in good condition was worth millions. As the successor to the Tenfy Co. advertising company, Nathan could definitely afford it. The situation showed him that Nathan was acting like a worthy opponent. Frank

    Waine’s hand was shaking as his finger grazed the surface of the gift box. “How… How could we accept this? It’s such an expensive antique…”“Hey, now. I don’t want to hear that from you, Uncle Waine. See, Fifi and I are close enough that I consider you as a second father. Shouldn’t I present my dad with an antique worth millions of dollars?” Nathan rebuked with feigned annoyance.His words only served to excite Waine even more, whose expression became even more animated. Through trembling lips, he burbled, “M-m-millions of dollars?!”Ruby’s eyes went as wide as saucers while her appalled expression was colored by shades of crimson. Her eyes glimmered brightly as she muttered to herself, “Oh my God! Millions! We’re rich—we are rich!”Faye trembled slightly and bit her lip even harder. A million dollars alone was a hefty sum to them. In fact, she even came close to offering herself to Sean Wilson in exchange for a sum of 1.5 million dollars to rescue the Carters from their plight, bu

    “Hey, hey, hey! Nate, don’t be rash!”“Y-yeah, what are you even trying to achieve here? That antique is worth millions of dollars! Can you imagine what a waste it would be if it’s smashed? Put it down right now!”Waine and Ruby cried out simultaneously as they threw themselves forward to grab hold of the gift box in Nathan’s hand. They were genuinely worried that the young man would smash an invaluable antique clock to bits because of an emotional outburst!Nate did not relent. Instead, his eyes were glued to Faye with nary a blink, making it obvious that the only way to convince him was to have Faye agree to receive the gift.His burning gaze compelled Faye to lower her head as her heart fluttered from within her ribcage. Finally, she nodded slightly as a quiet sign of agreement.Nathan immediately cracked a satisfied grin before sniping a furtive glance at Zayn. Seeing the man in a pensive silence only served to make his apparent victory taste even sweeter. In his mind, this wa

    Despite her daughter’s help, Ruby hardly seemed to be in a better state. She had to be eased into a chair to regain her composure.Honestly, seeing her overt reaction made Zayn roll his eyes in speechless silence. How weak could her heart be? If it was brought to her knowledge that her son-in-law who she so frequently scorned had billions of dollars in his bank account, she would be put straight into a coma.Faye was admittedly not very conversant with antiques—her knowledge was limited to some cursory research and more commonly known facts. Still, with a single glance, Faye was sure that this was the genuine article.Even a usually composed woman like herself could not stop her heart from beating quickly as her cheeks and the tips of her ears turned red.The beaming smile on Nathan’s face was impossible to mask. He shot Zayn a look of smug self-satisfaction before returning to his polite pretension, “So, Uncle Waine and Aunt Ruby… do you like it?”“Like? I love it! I love it so m

    Zayn looked positively heated. He expected that sort of asinine mentality from his mother-in-law, but now his father-in-law was stooping to that deplorable degree too?Faye lowered her head and bit her lip. She had no answers. In fact, her head was plunged into a chaotic battle—she was at quite a loss as to what to think.Although she did not love Zayn, it did not mean she harbored no feelings towards him. Regardless of how they felt about each other, Faye had lived with Zayn for a good four years by now. He was a useless mite of a person, but he was still very kind to her. He had always taken care of her with incredible attentiveness.Faye might not mention it out loud, but it did not mean that she had forgotten. She even remembered that incident back at the Carters’ gathering when it turned out that Zayn knew Gordon Hayes. He had stood up for her and flipped the family’s derision back at them. How could she not be grateful for all of that?Honestly, Faye was having trouble workin

    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.

    “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.
