“Medusa Dames?” Zayn expressed his confusion. The woman named Cyrene said, “Sergeant Larson, have you not heard of our club, the Medusa Dames?”Her expression was tainted with a tinge of suspicion. From her point of view, a man of Zayn’s status should have known about the Medusa Dames. Zayn felt rather intrigued by Cyrene’s expression as well and asked, “Are the Medusa Dames famous?”Zayn’s remark almost made Cyrene choke and left her speechless. She had expected that Zayn would certainly show courtesy to her after she declared that she was part of the Medusa Dames. Instead, he had treated her coldly. The first thought that came to her mind was that Zayn was deliberately teasing her. In any case, since Zayn had already asked the question, she could only reply, “The Medusa Dames is a club established two centuries ago, and it’s considered one of the top clubs in the world.”She paused for a moment before she reluctantly blurted out the question, “Sergeant Larson, have you rea
Zayn had never encountered the woman before and he had never known of her reputation either. It meant she was probably not from Rheasia, despite her Rheasian appearance and fluency in their language. Still, that did not confirm that she was not a spy from an enemy nation!“You’re a skilled fighter, aren’t you? I can’t spare you even more,” Zayn Sadie before making a move once again. This time, he did not give Cyrene any chances to dodge anymore because he had used 30% of his power to grab here. Although Cyrene did all she could to evade him, there was nothing she could do to stop him. For a brief moment, she felt like a fly that could not escape Zayn’s palm. Zayn captured her with ease. Moreover, he immobilized her to the point her struggling body immediately went limp, and she slumped against him in his arms. “Sergeant Larson, I…”Zayn did not feel it was inappropriate for him to be holding her in such a manner because he was supposed to hand her over immediately. Neverthele
Zayn was astounded when she called him a ‘scumbag’. What did he do to be so insulted? In addition, even if he was a scumbag, Sienna did not deserve to call him that, did she?“I can’t be bothered.” Zayn waved his hand dismissively and held Cyrene in preparation to hand her over to Insurgent Trifecta. Stamping her foot, Sienna stepped forward and berated him, “Screw you, Zayn. You and your doings. What about your wife? What about...me?”“What the heck?” Zayn was at a loss as to whether he should laugh or cry.Cyrene appeared to be pleasantly surprised by the pair of them getting into a quarrel. She assumed a solemn expression and scolded Sienna, “You don’t have my permission to scold Zayn!”She acted so wonderfully that Sienna was convinced. She looked toward Zayn with an even more furious expression and pinched his arm savagely. “Hey hey, what are you doing? Stop it!” Zayn scolded her with a stern expression. Still, Sienna refused to abide by his instructions. She huffed and sa
Zayn’s footsteps came to a stop momentarily, but he did not turn around. He pretended not to hear her and walked away in long strides. On the other hand, Sienna could not keep herself from crying after he left. The tears welling in her eyes finally began streaming down her face. She felt very hurt and sad. It was obviously Zayn’s fault for flirting with the woman, yet he still had the audacity to berate her!She had been looking forward to the party that day. In fact, she had even done much to put in the good word with her grandfather and father. She waited for Zayn to ask her to dance, so she could seize the opportunity to confess her feelings for him. Instead, Zayn rejected her in the worst manner. She had never been bullied all her life, and she discovered that she could not stop herself from crying. Zayn was unaware of her tear-filled situation. He looked around after returning to the ballroom, but he could not find Cyrene anymore. It was very apparent that she had alrea
After hearing the big four being mentioned, Joe’s expression grew even more grim. It was quite apparent that the big four had an even more complicated origin. Joe was silent for a good while as if he was pondering something. He raised his head to take a few glances at Zayn before he said, “Sigh… the truth is, the matter with the big four is not considered a secret to the top personnel of our organization. It’s only that the four clubs have been keeping a low profile in recent few years and didn’t cause any trouble in Rheasia territory. Hence, I didn’t talk to you about it all this time.”Zayn remained silent and waited for Joe to go on. Something told him that the big four was certainly a troublesome group as well. Joe paused for a moment before walking to the corner to find a suitable place for them to discuss it. Then, he began to speak, “In truth, our country is not as peaceful as it seems on the surface. Not only Rheasia, but all the countries in the world are not as calm
He could not figure out how he had never noticed the existence of clubs over the years despite the logical thinking he had developed as he grew older. Especially after he made a name for himself…All of a sudden, he remembered something that created a spark in his mind. It was his grandfather!He remembered the incident. A few years ago, his grandfather was in a vegetative state before he later became brain dead, but Zayn had met his grandfather once again some time ago. Moreover, rather than being in the state that Zayn remembered, his grandfather had undergone a transformation that turned him into an invincibilis powerhouse!An invincibilis fighter was someone who could dominate the entire world. Zayn was such a gifted genius who had plenty of lucky opportunities, yet he was still one step away from the invincibilis state. How many people in all of Rheasia could achieve invincibilis state? There were only two. Other than Paxton ‘Ares’ Brooks, there was Saint Caelum from Si
Zayn was an extremely intelligent man so he immediately understood the issue after hearing Joe’s explanation. He really had the wrong mindset. Who was he to decide that the country form was better than the club form?Moreover, there were all sorts of people in the world. Who was he to decide that everyone would prefer to have countries over clubs?Perhaps the members of the clubs hated the idea of countries. In any case, his knowledge of the world had expanded after he found out that clubs existed as a form of world division. Judging from the situation, the world he lived in was not as dull as it appeared to be on the surface. It was a rather exciting place. Moreover, he felt an intense premonition that the world was in an era of constant change, and there was no telling how it would end up in the future. In the end, he chatted for a long time with Joe while the older man generously shared his knowledge with him, helping understand the clubs more. “Director Pennywise, you
Joe soon realized what Zayn was thinking about, so he said with a smile, “Sergeant Larson, is that an emotional blow to you?”Zayn grinned and said, “It’s not quite an emotional blow, but I think I’ve been arrogant. There’s always someone better out there.”Joe burst out laughing aloud and then said, “You’re not arrogant, Sergeant Larson. You’re a gifted martial artist and you’re already very impressive. There are very few people who are as formidable as you even in the big four.”Very few people… Zayn immediately understood the true meaning in Joe’s statement. It signified that there were people who were more formidable than him!Zayn was astonished to learn that. Could it be that there were other people who could improve faster than he had?He was close with Joe, so he did not attempt to hide his thoughts and asked directly, “How many people are there who are more gifted in martial arts than me?”Joe’s smile faded as he looked out the door. His pupils constricted a little while
