Letting out a few coughs, he questioned Alexandra, “Why are you here? Where are your bodyguards?”Alexandra came to her senses and retracted her gaze from Zayn before she admitted, “I ran away from home.”“Ah?” sounded Zayn, taken aback. ‘Why does it sound so strange—the idea of her running away from home? Regardless, I’m sure she’ll get over it soon. After all, she’s a lady. It's not out of the ordinary for her to run away after an argument.’“Is that so?” replied Zayn. He turned around, only to realize that the middle schooler had fled from the scene out of fear.“Since you’re safe and sound now, I’ll take my leave.” said Zayn. He did not want to be affiliated with Alexandra in too many ways.However, as soon as he turned away, Alexandra called out to him in protest. “Wait!”Zayn turned his head in suspicion before asking dubiously, “Is there something else?”Alexandria found it hard to remain calm at that point in time. Her body wanted to be in control, but she could not find
Confused, Zayn brought Alexandra to have supper.‘I was going to go home, but I guess there’s nothing I can do now except send Faye a text message telling her that I’ll be home later.’Faye did not ask him for a reason—all she did was reply with a simple, ‘Oh.’Coincidentally, there was nothing for them to eat nearby, so they had to hail a taxi and travel somewhere a little further away. In the end, he brought Alexandra to a barbecue place.Zayn watched as Alexandra wolfed down her food. She did not even notice that her hair was in a disheveled mess.Although Alexandra was dressed like a man, she revealed her true self as a woman. Furthermore, she had dropped her masculine act, and instead showed off more of her feminine side.Zayn then realized that Alexandra looked quite beautiful. ‘She’s on the same level as Faye. They’re both stunning beauties, but she looks more like an innocent woman.’Alexandra was very attractive—so attractive in fact that occasional gazes flitted in her
”Because there’s no place for you to sleep,” said Zayn.Alexandra shot back, “I can sleep on the sofa.”“I’m sleeping on the sofa,” he clarified.“Huh? Why? Why aren’t you sleeping on a bed?” Alexandra looked confused.Zayn sighed before confessing, “Because my wife doesn’t want me to…”‘Hang on. Why am I telling her this?’He quickly rephrased his sentence and said, “In any case, it’s inconvenient. Plus, you’re a beautiful woman. What would people think if you stayed the night at my place?”When Alexandra heard the words ‘beautiful woman,’ she tuned out the rest of the sentence. Her eyes sparkled even more brightly. ‘Wow, he actually thinks I’m beautiful! I’m so happy…’Alexandra had failed to notice it, but she was head over heels in love.“Then, where would I stay then? I can’t just live on the streets now, can I?” said Alexandra indignantly as she stared at Zayn with pleading eyes. ‘Is she actually cajoling me right now?’ Zayn was covered in goosebumps.Although Alexand
While in the taxi, Zayn had a tight frown on his brow. ‘Who were those people in that car?’‘Are they following Alexandra, or are they following me?‘They clearly seem to be experts, exceptional at tracking people and concealing their presence. If I wasn’t on my toes, I probably would’ve missed them. Whatever it is, I’d better watch my step.’Instead of letting his guard down, he continued to observe the two suspicious individuals. He realized that the moment his taxi had hit the road, the car quickly followed them on the same route.Zayn asked the taxi driver to make a turn into a residential area that had a more complicated road network. After that, he got off the taxi and made a few rounds around the area on foot before returning to Alexandra’s hotel once more, under the impression that he had managed to ditch the two. Soon after, however, he realized that they had also returned to their parked spot on the side of the road.‘From what I’m seeing, I can say for sure that they’re
”Fifi, I’ll admit that I met up with a girl friend who I got to know from a while back, but I only had supper with her. It’s not what you’re thinking of at all!” Zayn hurriedly said.However, when Faye heard his poorly-made excuse, she grew even more unsympathetic. Her words were so cold that Zayn was half-expecting her breath to freeze into ice. “A girlfriend? Zayn Larson, good on you! What fantastic work! You’ve even got yourself a little girlfriend!”Zayn’s mouth was left momentarily agape before he quickly clasped his hand over it. “Curse my mouth. I misspoke. I didn’t mean to say girlfriend, I meant to say a female friend! She’s actually…”Faye interrupted Zayn again, but this time, her voice was dripping with complete and utter hatred. “Enough! I don’t want to listen to your explanations anymore! Zayn Larson, I’ve told you before that I have no problem with you fooling around with other women as I haven’t been fulfilling my duties as a wife. However, you cannot bring her home,
When Faye saw him, her pupils contracted. It felt like someone had a tight grip on her heart.‘Has he been sleeping out here the entire night? Is he stupid?’Zayn was woken up by the sound of the door opening, so he hurriedly got up. However, because he had been in that position for so long, his right leg had gone a little numb. He staggered trying to get up. He was close to falling, but thanks to his quick reflexes, he managed to prevent himself from injury by holding onto the wall.“Fifi, you’re awake?” Zayn started, “Fifi, you’ve got to believe me. Yesterday was really all just a misunderstanding. I’ll admit that I did go out for supper with a female friend, but she’s androgynous, and we aren’t close at all. I got to know her when I drove to 4S to get the car fixed that one time…”Zayn hurriedly explained how he and Alexandra came to know each other from the beginning to the end. He emphasized that fact that he had only met Alexandra yesterday completely by coincidence. He told
Zayn chased after her.Faye stopped and glared at him morosely. “Is there something wrong with you, Zayn? Did you not understand what I just said?!”She was still quite gentle with him a moment ago, yet her initial fierceness had now returned.Zayn had already gotten used to Faye’s behavior, hence he said gently, “Fifi, I won’t let you face all of this alone.”As she bit her lip, she was a little moved, but his words did not quench the flame that raged on inside her chest. “Zayn Larson, do you know what I hate about you the most? You don’t know your own capabilities! Do you not know where you stand?! I don’t resent you for being incapable, but can you please stop acting like you’re great and very powerful? You only end up making a fool of yourself. You’re embarrassing!”Zayn hurriedly pleaded, “Fifi, you’ve got to believe me, I can help you get through this, I really can. Just let me drive you to work.”Faye did not reply to Zayn. Instead, she glanced at him coldly before leaving
At that moment, someone walked over to Faye. They were looking at her in an unfriendly manner. The person then began to question Faye, “Why have you only just arrived? Everyone’s waiting for you in the boardroom.”The person before Faye was a distant relative of the Carters who had an average performance. In fact, it was Faye who had offered her to join Neotech, and in turn, she would treat Faye with respect. She used to call her ‘Miss’ all the time. However, she was currently being extremely cold towards Faye. She even had a look of scorn and disdain in her eyes. Evidently, she no longer had any respect for Faye.When Faye noticed her behavior, she was furious. Though, what slowly followed was a mixture of despair and self-deprecation.That was the first time she experienced what it was like to be stepped on when she was already at her lowest! She had not even been stripped off of her authority yet, but she was already being treated like scum. ‘If my authority actually gets strippe
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. Her skin turned wrinkly and dry like a tree bark. The situation did
“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. Her beauty was impeccable and she was as graceful as a fairy…The woman had her head lowered to look at the cliff ahead of her and cracked a peculiar smile. Speaking of which, it was not the first time these two people showed up on earth. They were the ones who brought up the live broadcast of Zayn and King Erik in Sha
