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
He knew it was more than just a premonition. He would certainly be meeting them in the near future. With world was as huge as it could be, he was a true genius, so it was only a matter of time before he became an invincibilis fighter. He a,so played an important role in the country, so he would certainly be meeting the three other geniuses. In truth, he found this to beinteresting. He was under the assumption that he was almost at the top of the world and he had lost his passion to progress further. Judging by the new situation, there was always someone better than him and it triggered his desire to challenge someone more powerful!He was a man who refused to be ordinary and inherently enjoyed taking risks and seeing challenges. Now that he found out about three geniuses more formidable than him, it was surely good news!Hence, his feeling of dejection did not last long before it turned into excitement and enthusiasm. Joe noticed the change in Zayn soon enough. He was aston
The thin line of separation was the most difficult part. It was because he was utterly incapable of locating that line. How would he cross it if he could not even find it?However, Zayn believed that he would certainly be able to find and cross it in one go. He would make a breakthrough in his training in a single attempt!Despite being one step away from invincibilis state, defeating all his enemies handily during the title match, beating Romel and the others to death, Zayn had been injured rather severely. The injuries were rather mild and would not affect him at the moment. However, his wounds would slowly worsen with time if he chose not to recuperate. In truth, this was not only limited to fighters. As people grew up, it was normal to suffer all sorts of injuries. Any falls and bumps would result in some minor scratches, and when the person was still young, they could simply brush them off since they could recover quickly. However, those injuries were not fully healed an
The greatness of the invincibilis state was not limited to this, of course. This was just one of the many components of it. Zayn would possess more intriguing abilities when he had achieved the true invincibilis state. In fact, Zayn had even speculated that he would even gain telekinesis or perhaps absorb radio waves from space and learn about the mysteries of the universe once he had reached invincibilis.Invincibilis powerhouses would not hold such a respectable status in the world if they were only skilled in martial arts!The most obvious part being that if the invincibilis state was only an accomplishment in martial arts, clubs would not possibly exist in this world anymore. It was the 21st century and people were not living in the feudalist society of the past. All sorts of technological advances were developing at high speed. If an invincibilis powerhouse’s only pursuit was p martial arts, they would not be interested in holding any authority!After listening to Joe’s
